Portal: Alive & Kicking Achievement Guide
In this Portal: Alive & Kicking achievement guide, I explain how I unlock each story and miscellaneous achievement covered below. I follow the required chambers and actions in order.
Story Achievements
High-Energy Professional
Complete the first High-Energy Pellet test.
I unlock High-Energy Professional simply by completing Chamber 6, where I encounter the energy ball for the first time.
The Device Has Been Modified
Acquire the Dual Portal Device.
I unlock The Device Has Been Modified in Chamber 11 when I acquire the Dual Portal Device.
Fratricide
Do whatever it takes to survive.
After I complete Chamber 18, GLaDOS tells me to throw the Companion Cube into the incinerator. I follow the instruction and sacrifice the cube to unlock Fratricide.
Life of the Party
Make the incorrect party escort submission position decision.
When GLaDOS sends me toward certain death, I refuse to follow that path and begin my escape. This is how I unlock Life of the Party.
Heartbreaker
Complete Alive & Kicking.
I unlock Heartbreaker by defeating GLaDOS.
Miscellaneous Achievements
Unappreciated Business
Make a toilet hate you.
I can unlock Unappreciated Business right at the beginning of the game in the Aperture Science relaxation chamber. I find the toilet, aim at it, and press E to flush it. I keep doing this until the toilet lid closes.
Get Stuck
Get Stuck.
In Chamber 5, I arrange the setup as shown in the screenshot below and move one of the cubes into the orange portal. GLaDOS then tells me that I am stuck and opens the door, unlocking Get Stuck.
Blameless
Complete Chamber 16 without knocking over any turrets.
For Blameless, I complete Chamber 16 without knocking over a single turret. I place the turrets against the walls while keeping their sensors facing forward.
Multiverse Explorer
Beat all of the levels in the Extras menu.
I open the Extras option from the main menu to access the additional levels. For this achievement, I only need to complete Chamber 18 Advanced.
If I want to take on the rest of the challenges as well, I can complete all of the maps available in the Extras menu.
