So the guides say this comes from Starman Supers but i just got one from instakilling a regular Starman.

electrospecter 12 Jan 2025 00:19

The guides are correct, Starmen Super are the only enemies that can drop it

branvich 12 Jan 2025 02:41

Then how did I just get one the way i described?

NoobyFar 13 Jan 2025 04:06

because you lied :)

As @muticere said, this unlocked for me when initiating a fight with one of the Starmen.
Guess it would have dropped the sword afterwards as I fled, because of low HP...

There could be an issue with the achievement logic and it popping when it shouldn't but
regular Starmen never ever will drop the sword in an unaltered version of the game.

Sorry I was just talking about the sprite on the map. It definitely was a Starman Super

NoobyFar 18 Jan 2025 05:11

If you need to heal just find a starman and spam PSI MAGNET with both paula and poo

NoobyFar 18 Jan 2025 05:23

I got after about 30 minutes that wasnt fun but im glad its over

NoobyFar 18 Jan 2025 05:24

ill also confirm that you just need to start fighting a starman super that has the sword to get the achievement. So keep running away until you get the achievement.

I actually enjoyed the 30 minutes I spent on this so maybe I'm weird lol

One thing I learned from this is that starmen love trying to steal pp from Jeff.

5 hours and 35 minutes..
I read about ppl who got it in one shot and I just frump like, dude I started at like level 60 now I'm 80something.. two hours I can see but sheesh unforgiving..

Slops 18 Mar 2025 15:16

Just under an hour. Reading some of the other comments I guess I got lucky.

ChaoPlaymate 29 Mar 2025 14:20

Don't let the comments worry you, I can confirm it popped for me getting it from an auto kill

FIRST TRY HOLY SHIT!!! THIS IS THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE STROKE OF LUCK I'VE HAD EVER OMG

LudoAlvera 15 May 2025 01:27

DAMN I MANAGED TO GET TWO SWORDS ONE AFTER THE OTHER

Took me 4 hours but I got it. A pro tip for those grinding, use Poo’s mirror ability on one of those healing bots that spawn alongside the starmen and defend with the rest of the party. Poo will start randomly maxing your party’s HP most of his turns. Bring plenty of brainfood lunches (buy them in Poos home village) before you start the grind. Good luck, you’ll either get it early or you’ll be practically ready to fight giygas if it takes a couple hours.

took me only 15 minutes to get this! was very lucky :>

Mentally prepped myself for the long grind and managed to get it on my 3rd or 4th Starman kill. Feel like I should go get a lotto ticket or something.
