Glomerate Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 So this is the achievement that is giving me so much trouble. I've been through the 3 levels so many times that I don't know where else to look. I'm getting really irritated. Anyone have any tips? Any easy to miss pollen sacks? Thanks.

PistonHonda22 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Not much help anyone can give you other than keep painstakingly scrutinizing all three of those levels for all the sacks. All the achievements in this game are glitchy. I still don't have the Rock Star achievement, even though I've clearly picked up every musician. I didn't get that pollen sack achievement right away either, until it popped after hitting a random pollen sack in one of those three levels (an obvious sack, too, like there's no way I missed it the first time). Everyone seems to have their one achievment that isn't unlocking, and that might be yours. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0seiju Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 For my playthrough I counted them because i'm thinking of making a guide to this game. I counted 16 in Batteries not included, 21 in Zap! and 22 in Into the machine. Could anyone confirm these numbers? and could this be to any help to you Glomerate?

Glomerate Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Update: I played through Batteries and I counted 18... Yeah, I'll play through them again here and count them as I go. I'll let you know if it helps! I still haven't gotten the achievement and it feels like I've been through these zillions of times.

More_Credible Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I just went through it the first time, and I usually hit the pollen sacks three times a piece before I move onto the next one. Those numbers help. I'll try that tomorrow guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More_Credible Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Gentlemen, I've figured out the problem. You have to hit all the sacks in ONE SITTING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glomerate Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hmm...I could've sworn I did all 3 levels several times over on one play and it didn't unlock. Did you end up making a tally of the pollen sacks in each one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More_Credible Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Yeah, I got 18, 21, and 22. Perhaps it's not one playthrough... I'm just starting to believe this entire game is just glitched out of it's mind. The last achievement I need is "Happy Birthday to Me" and although I blaze through the first level, and still finish the other two in 6 minutes or less, the achievement won't unlock. I really don't want to have to delete this game, and start over just for that one achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glomerate Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yeah I hear ya, I don't want to do that either but we might have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More_Credible Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Wait until you do anything. I emailed Vitamin G and they said they'll be working on a patch for the New Year. I'll post the latest email I get (I sent one today) when I get it back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're still working on a guide. I've been looking for some sort of guidance on this game and so far no one has put one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaElena Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I was having trouble with this one. I knew for a fact that I was hitting every pollen sack. Then I read somewhere else that not only do you have to hit every sack but actually collect pollen from every sack. So Yeah that did it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPDATE: I just played through it again hitting them all and collecting pollen and nothing. I'll wait for the patch.

MrInfliction Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I can confirm that there is 19 sacks in "Batteries Not Included", 21 sacks in "Zap!" (11 sacks before the first portal, 10 after the first portal). I got the achievement right after hitting the last sack in "Zap!", so I'm not sure how many sacks there are in "Into The Machine". Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todaysforgotten Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 This achievement is not glitched. I think the problem is, is that there are 23 sacks in Zap it and not 22. I just found the sack i never knew existed and upon hitting the last sack i got the achievement. I have a feeling those who can't unlock this digital popup are missing the sack that is right inside the electricity on zap it. The part where you have the jelly fish and the spiked ball plant and you have to hoist the spikes up and have the current catch it and then energize it and have it cut the plankton (or whatever it is).

Aagame Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Finally got this achievement today. I was playing back in June and gave up, then just went back to it this afternoon. Achievement popped after hitting the very first sac on Batteries Not Included. Yup. Obviously a strange achievement as I know I've hit that one. Oh well, glad it finally popped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphrodite1 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I managed to get this achievement without any issue just now. I did a slow playthrough and an accurate count on each level. The number of podsacks in each level are: Batteries not included: 19 Zap: 23 (11 before portal, 12 after portal (note 2 are in the high area near the end, accessed after you have to activate the 5 switches) Into the Machine: 22 What I did to ensure I got it was hit each podsack three times. Everytime I hit the podsack I made sure I didn't have a full pollen counter so was able to pick up the pollen. If I had a full pollen bar with no more flowers to bloom, I held the Y button to reset back to the nearest checkpoint activated. Doing this clears the pollen counter. Hope this helps.

B0seiju Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 You sure about those numbers. If so I'm going to replay those levels to be sure. And I'll update my guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
