Xbox Game Pass to Soon Include Sequel to Lonely Mountains: Downhill

In the thrilling world of gaming achievements, each milestone is a testament to a player’s skill, dedication, and sometimes perseverance. Let’s dive into these gaming challenges and see what it takes to master them.

Starting off with your ski collection, you’ll initially earn the “Ramming Through” badge by unlocking a second pair of skis, snagging you a quick 10 points. Keep pushing forward, and “Snake Charmer” awaits as you land a third pair for 20 points. As your collection grows, the excitement builds with “RUN, Cheetah Run!” for the fourth pair and a sweet reward of 40 points. Finally, become “Free like a bird” with the fifth pair, boosting your score by another 80 points.

Your exploration will be rewarded as well, with the “Peace and Quiet” achievement when you find a resting spot, adding 20 points to your sheet. Should you discover all the resting places on Tannenstein, you earn “Under the Pines” and gain 25 points. Continue your journey on Monte Guanaco and Sierra Gelida, and the “Path to Paradise” and “Lonely Places” will give you a cumulative 50 points for thorough exploration.

Crossing your first finish line in any event will nab you “It’s all Downhill from here” with a modest 10 points, but don’t rest easy. Unlocking new terrains like Monte Guanaco (“The Monte is Calling”) and Sierra Gelida (“Riding High”) will level up your achievements with additional 20 and 30 points, respectively.

The challenges keep getting tougher as you tackle the slopes. Completing all Blue Slope Challenges on Tannenstein means you’re “Just Trailing,” adding another 25 points. If you’re more daring, finish the Black Slope Challenges and claim the title “Born to ride!” for 30. Monte Guanaco and Sierra Gelida offer their own sets of Blue and Black challenges, each offering similarly rewarding points.

If speed and time trials get your adrenaline pumping, unlock “Boooh!” the first time you engage ghost mode, earning 15 points, and for those who beat their own best time, “Ghost Buster” offers a hefty 50-point reward.

For a change of pace, ride one trail in Zen Mode and gain “The journey is the destination” badge for 10 points. Whether it’s soaring through the air for a 4-second jump (“Free Fallin”) or racing to maintain a specific speed (“Like Having Wings”), these tricks spice up your session and pad your score.

Tricksters and freestyle enthusiasts have their own set of goals with spins, flips, and grabs. Successfully land combinations on your runs for bonus points—a 360 or 720 spin packs 10 to 15 points, while complex combinations can net up to 50 points with “Master Trickster.”

For those who thrive on teamwork, complete goals in Team mode to reinforce “Teamwork makes the dream work” or go all the way to earn “We are the Champions!” For racers, participating or placing in the top spots during races will rack up more accolades.

From spectating to helping fellow players recover, every aspect of these gaming environments brings unique opportunities to earn and boast these badges of honor. Whether it’s perfecting your ride or conquering training grounds, the thrill of achieving “Unstoppable” status or claiming your “Badge of Honor” reflects the player’s journey.
