Achievement

How to Get Shiny in Big Walk

Big Makeover goes to the player whose character actually receives a qualifying shiny appearance. The ordinary paint area and a normal colour change are not enough — the shiny looks live in a hidden makeover room inside the tunnel network.

  • Requires tunnel access
  • Hidden makeover room
  • Player-specific unlock
  • Painted by another player

Two different problems

Finding the room and firing the medal are separate steps. Pick the half you are on.

  • Haven't found Shiny yet?

    You are still looking for the room that hands out the metallic looks, or you are not sure it exists.

  • Found the room but Big Makeover didn't unlock?

    You were in the makeover room, walked out painted, and the medal still is not on your list.

The other medals and the action behind each one are on the Big Walk achievements list.

Quick Answer

Big Makeover unlocks when the player who wants it receives one of the hidden shiny / metallic appearances. The special paint area sits inside the tunnel network, so open the tunnels first — an ordinary colour change somewhere else does not count.

  1. 1Open the tunnel network through the Yellow route.
  2. 2Enter the tunnels and reach the hidden makeover room.
  3. 3Pick a qualifying shiny / metallic appearance.
  4. 4Have it applied to the player who needs the achievement.
  5. 5Let the look refresh, then confirm Big Makeover on the in-game list.

Before You Go

Four things worth settling before you walk into the tunnels.

  • ✓ Tunnels already openRequiredThe makeover room is inside the tunnels, so there is no way in until the Yellow route is finished.
  • ✓ A second playerPlayer-testedPlayer-tested routes use one player painting another. The medal still only ever goes to the painted character.
  • ✓ A lightRecommendedMost of the tunnel stretch is dark, and a torch makes the room far easier to spot.
  • ✓ Agree on who is getting itRequiredOne application paints one character, so decide before you start.

Where Is Shiny in Big Walk?

The shiny makeover room is hidden inside the underground tunnel network. It is not the paint area you meet early in the game, and it stays out of reach while the tunnels are still closed.

Your route in

  1. 1Finish the Yellow route to open the tunnel network.
  2. 2Enter through any opened tunnel entrance you can reach.
  3. 3Work through the tunnels to the hidden makeover room.
  4. 4Pick a shiny / metallic appearance inside the room.

The network has more than one entrance, so there is no single correct door. Guides report both a blue-side and a Yellow-side approach reaching the same network.

The turn-by-turn path inside the tunnels is deliberately not printed here. It has not been confirmed against the game itself, and the dark stretches are easy to describe wrongly from memory.

How to Get Shiny

The unlock from a locked tunnel network to the medal, in order.

  1. 1. Open the tunnel network

    Big Makeover is inside the tunnels, so nothing else matters until the network is open. If yours is still closed, the Yellow route is where that gets fixed.

  2. 2. Reach the hidden makeover room

    Enter an opened tunnel entrance and work through the network to the room. If you lose your bearings, put the room on the map and route from where you already are.

  3. 3. Pick a qualifying shiny appearance

    Inside the room the choices you want are the metallic-looking ones, not the ordinary colour swatches you already had.

  4. 4. Have it applied to the player who needs Big Makeover

    Player-tested routes use a second player to paint the character. Whatever the exact input is, the medal follows the character the appearance lands on.

  5. 5. Let the look refresh, then check the achievement list

    The game reads your appearance when your look refreshes, so give it a moment and confirm Big Makeover on the in-game achievement list.

What Counts as Shiny?

Shiny means one of the special metallic-looking appearances hidden in the secret makeover room. A normal colour change at the ordinary paint area is a different thing, and that is why so many Big Makeover attempts fail without any warning.

Counts toward Big Makeover

✓ A qualifying shiny / metallic appearance applied to your character.

Who Gets the Achievement?

Big Makeover is player-specific. The medal goes to the character whose look is refreshed, so every player who wants it needs the shiny appearance applied to their own character — one shiny player in the group does not unlock it for everybody.

Does Big Makeover Affect Completion?

No. Big Makeover is an appearance achievement rather than a step in the main route: players reach Big Goodbye without it, and the medal sits on its own track beside the endings.

Keep the medal separate from story progress — the platform achievement list and the gameplay route are counted differently.

Big Makeover FAQ

¿Qué es el logro Una gran transformación?

Una gran transformación: Llénate de brillo. Ese es el nombre y el requisito oficiales; todo lo demás trata de cómo llenarse de brillo de verdad.

¿Cómo se consigue el brillo en Big Walk?

Abre la red de túneles, llega a la sala de transformación oculta dentro de ella y consigue que se aplique un aspecto metálico válido a tu personaje.

¿Visitar el salón de pintura desbloquea Una gran transformación?

No por sí solo. La medalla sigue al aspecto aplicado a tu personaje, no a la sala en la que estabas.

¿La pintura normal cuenta?

No des por hecho que sí. La medalla busca un aspecto brillante válido, y se informa ampliamente de que los cambios de color normales la dejan bloqueada.

¿Necesito a otro jugador?

Las rutas probadas por jugadores usan a un jugador pintando a otro, pero lo que decide la medalla es simplemente que el aspecto se aplique al personaje que la quiere. Si puedes aplicártelo a ti mismo, rige la misma regla.

¿Dónde está la sala brillante?

Dentro de la red de túneles, no en la zona de pintura normal del principio. Usa el marcador del mapa si quieres ver dónde están la red y la sala.

¿Por qué mi amigo consiguió Una gran transformación y yo no?

La medalla es individual. Revisa que el aspecto brillante se aplicó a tu propio personaje y no solo al del otro.

¿Necesito terminar el juego primero?

No. Una gran transformación está disponible en cuanto la red de túneles está abierta y no forma parte de la ruta del final.
