Well Dweller: Unlock the “Snatched Up” Achievement / Trophy Guide
You’ll unlock the “Snatched Up” achievement for successfully escape the Hunter’s grasp near the beginning of the game.
After you have grabbed the berries from the Hunter’s Cabin, you’ll return to your family at the bottom of the well. A cutscene will play where a noise is heard, and Mother asks Glimmer to go investigate. As Glimmer goes to see what’s going on, the long arm of the Hunter appears, triggering a chase sequence.
You’ve got to jump through the hole in the bottom of the well and stay out of reach of the Hunter. It’s a fairly easy chase sequence but there are couple of bits that can trip you up.
The main things you’ll need to do is attack the barriers, use your slam attack (Down + ATTACK whilst in mid-air), and slide.
You can watch a video of the sequence below:
Successfully getting to the bottom will unlock the “Snatched Up” achievement / trophy for meeting the Hunter for the first time!
