Bauble collection achievements and unreliable checkpoint boosts
So after not bothering for the longest time, I finally wanted to get the achievements for collecting all baubles in a single run in all of the SAB zones. I did W1Z1 years ago, but never got any further.
Here is my issue and question:
Both W1Z2 and W1Z3 have baubles that can only be collected by using the boost that the checkpoint provides to jump on a ledge and climb to a dig spot.
As far as I understand, you can only use this boost once per run and if you fail it, you can't get those baubles until you reset the entire zone.
For me those boosts are incredibly unreliable. Especially the final checkpoint of W1Z2 just completely fails to fire for me 90% of the time. I really don't want to go through the entire zone, which takes a lot of time if you collect everything, just to fail and the very final stretch.
Do you have any tips and tricks on how to more reliable get the boost and avoid failing the jump? Are there any work arounds to get to these spots without the boost? Are the digging spots not needed for the achievement (the wiki is not super clear on this)?
Anything to help out is appreciated.
