Hey all,

I figured I would jump on and do the walk through first on how to get Wilson home and get that achievement. After trying to do it while playing the game normally, I noticed i kept losing him or somehow he would die or blow up. So I am explaining how I did it with no hassle or issues, except for getting lost and pulling up the map to see where to go.

First,

LEAVE WILSON AT THE START OF THE GAME. You can came back for him as well as anything (I think) that is in the game. Play the game like normal until you get to the Starlight Area. Once there, you will receive message when you are going underground saying something along the lines of "THERE IS NO TURNING BACK" I would save here or have a separate save as NOW you can go back and clean up all the secrets you missed or any achievements you missed such as the Spacebro and Wilson one.

Go the saferoom and use the tram to travel to the beginning level and go back to your room and grab Wilson.

And.... walk him home.

That's it. All the enemies will be dead and nothing will obstruct you from taking him home safely.
Just a heads up, if you try to take him into the safe room elevator to travel to Selaco to take him home, it will not work. Or for me at least it did'nt. There was a barrier that was preventing him from entering the elevator. Maybe he is claustrophobic.

Anyway, make sure you hold him when going through the loading areas as well and not to throw him into a loading area. I have had to reload a save because he did not spawn in or carry through the area.

Make sure also you are not slide kick or slide kick jumping while holding him as it WILL launch him and possibly break or lose him.

There will be at least 4 sections (Rooftop Access, Ladder to the Selaco Center and the 2 gates in the Market) where you will gave to throw him up the ladder or try to wedge him in the corner of a ledge. I kept quick saving every time he was secure in place.

Almost home champ,


Took me like an hour to travel with him to home with no enemies so I prefer it this way personally.
When you activate the elevators that load into a new area, drop him, activate the button and quickly pick him up again. He might despawn and you don't want to reload a save and get back to where you were.

Once you go up the elevator and go thru your workshop/HQ area, go upstairs and into your room holding him. Once you enter the room, you will unlock the achievement and can place him wherever you want.


This was a short and simple guide and I hope it helped you out getting this and not stressing about carrying him around like Gnome Chompski or L4D2 or HL2.

Thank you all!
