The Reignited Trilogy brings classic platforming challenges back to life, including some of the most tricky achievements hidden across different levels. Players seeking full completion will eventually need to unlock the What Really Grinds My Gears trophy in Twilight Harbor. Understanding where each hidden gear is located helps players complete this challenge efficiently without missing any stray collectibles.
Where to Find the Twilight Harbor Challenge
This particular challenge takes place inside Twilight Harbor, which is part of the final world in the original game. The level features industrial rooms, mechanical traps, and aggressive Gnorc enemies guarding every corridor. Players can focus on finding the gears while progressing through the level toward the final boss area.
Finding the First Set of Hidden Gears
Immediately after entering the first vortex in the stage, turn around to spot a gear tucked away near the entrance. Proceed into the next chamber and look directly to your left after exiting to locate the second gear hidden behind the wall. After rescuing the dragon Cosmos, head into the room filled with green pumps and inspect the right corner carefully to spot the third gear.
Locating the Remaining Gear Locations
Continue moving forward until you free Cleetus and enter a room featuring distinct purple air vents. Turn completely around before leaving this room to find the fourth gear sitting in plain sight. Right as you exit the room, check your left side immediately to collect the fifth gear hidden in the corner.
Clearing the Final Room and Securing the Trophy
The sixth and final gear is located near the end of the stage just past the large pillar to your left. Defeat the Gnorc operating the nearby cannon to ensure you can safely inspect the area without taking unnecessary damage. Once all six gears have been collected throughout the level, the achievement will unlock to confirm your completion.
