You need to let the boulder touch the sleeping golem

If you don't already know, the golem's riiiiiight near the end. You'll know you're there when you find little stone guys with eyes on the ground.

If you let the ball touch the golem (He looks like rocks at first) you'll get the achievement, but prepare to redo like half an hour's work. xD

thank you, I had already found out well before you guys replied tho. It did not set me as far back as it seemed to, just back to the start of the golem stage because I was able to catch up to it.

I wonder if maybe the ball type affects how far you go back too. I know when I did it with the Emerald I went back 7 full stages and wanted to apply rope to my own neck. :o

Lol It would make sense if it did, cause they do have different weights per ball

That's quite nice attention to detail on the devs part, I was wondering if the weight made any difference

The weight of the boulder affects how far the golem tosses it. The normal boulder only gets shot back as far as the start of the Golem's stage (Parched Earth). While lighter boulders like the Emerald get shot back as far as the Obisidian stage. Of course where it eventually comes to a halt is based on luck, but those are the minimum distances.

I am curious to see how far the golem shoots the Gold boulder since that is like 30t VS the 20t weight of the default ball. But I assume it will only get shot halfway through the Golem's stage. But since the Gold boulder is so heavy, it builds up speed and momentum very quickly when rolling down so it'll probably end up rolling much farther than the other boulders after landing.

It's physics based so it's random, the weights (and air resistance and bounce) changes how fast it can go which affects how likely it is to bounce over and roll over things.

My normal boulder was sent back to the spinning balls (the black ones that split up)
