Sequence Break
Sequence Break is an Achievement in A Hat in Time. The player can obtain it by completing Welcome to Mafia Town without Mustache Girl noticing Hat Kid.
Difficulty
In terms of accomplishing the achievement, it is relatively lightweight in difficulty since Mafia Town's open world allows for many routes to be taken without activating Mustache Girl's interactions with the player. Even better is that the exit points are very close to the Act's end destination, alongside the Umbrella to complete the rest of the game.
However, the difficulty is in discovering how to get out of the starting location without activating Mustache Girl's first appearance, which is somewhat hidden to most observations, potentially leading to activation of the event and requiring the mission to be reset.
Strategies
Due to the limitations that are put in place, such as the tarp and the lack of access to farther down the path, there are few options to successfully escaping the ally without being noticed by Mustache Girl:
- Jumping on the barrel immediately right to the player and double jumping around the lip of the tarp to cling to its side is the most immediate route of escape, but requires complex movement in the air by moving away from the tarp in the first jump and moving forward during the second jump.
- Moving to the backmost wall and jumping up to the railing is the easier method of escape of the two, as it can be completed by doing a simple double jump and wall run after to cling and hurdle over the railing. This also has the benefit of putting the player facing towards Mafia Town's fountain, making it a very practical route as well.
