Troubleshooting below

- Into the small cave
- Into the middle cave
- In the small vent
- Fly into the circular room and walk into the left room
- Complete the level as you would in a normal playthrough until you come to this part:
- Now fly up the inside of the vent:
- Destroy all 3 of these on all 3 levels:
- Jump down the vent and complete the last part as intended. After flying up the large hole with the many jump pads you will get the achievement.
Troubleshooting:
If you have problems getting the achievement try this:
- Don't save/load. If you hit a laser quit the game and click resume
- Play the Release version 1.0 properties->beta->1.0
- Reinstall the game
- use the command "achievement_reset bms_laser_immunization" *Warning: this will reset you achievement progress*
- If that doesn't work try it without using cheats (only use "map bm_c4a3b")
The Plan & Unquestionably Ethical
Fly to the control room over the arena using noclip, don't forget to take the canister with you. Now place it into the socket (Don't activate it yet!) and save, you can load the save for the other achievement.
Use Cyanogen to kill Gonarch.
Activate the gas and complete the level by jumping over the platforms.
Don't use the Cyanogen and let the Gonarch live.
Don't activate the gas and complete the level by jumping over the platforms.
Late for Work & Specimen GG
Defeat the Nihilanth in under 4 minutes.
Take out all three Healing Crystals in Nihilanth's Chamber at the same time.
Start Chapter 18 from the main menu.
After you fall down, the first thing to do is place one satchel charge each on the three round hatches.
Once the yellow crystals come out, as seen by the beams, detonate the satchels. At this point you should get the achievement Specimen GG.
If there still are some crystals left, you can now either restart to get Specimen GG or you can proceed by blowing up the leftover crystals using your rockets.
Now just go back to shooting at the Nihilanth with your Gluon Gun - again, don't forget to fill up your ammo using said key bind - once he opens up his head just wait until he turns around, you should have more than enough time left. As his final head crystal explodes, Late for work should pop up.
