    Just tested the link, it's working just fine for me

    Yep, now its work fine. Maybe some internet problems

    Is it ok to have other save files while doing this? I accidentally created two new ones while on fast foward and my current progress save is safe file number 3. Want to know so I don't grind out the items only to learn that it was a waste of time.
    rlxldk 13 Jun 2024 13:49
    Nope, its doesn't matter. Just remember, you need complete the game once to find ring of varda

    It took me 31h in game time but real time is about 2x faster. Meanwhile i got all non-missable achievements. I guess in Thief(Luck) Mode can be done faster.

    Algunos objetos son un auténtico tormento, pero no deja de ser gratificante. Al final caen todos! jajaja

    One question, is it necessary Paranthropus drop the Ring of Varda, gauntlet and Turquoise as well to get this achievement? or just the gauntlet and the ring is necessary?
    thatbard 15 Feb 2025 18:51
    @iag0player - Just Ring of Varda in this case. You don't even have to pick it up, just see it drop.

    TIPS TO UNLOCK:
    -Do Luck Mode! The bonus luck will improve the drop rates more than enough to justify a complete restart of the game, trust me.

    -ONLY USE ONE RING OF ARACANA. In tests that I have seen, 2 Rings of Aracana does NOT improve your odds in any statistically significant way and you are better off with a Lapis Lazuli in the second slot.

    -Lapis Lazuli (acquired at the start in Luck Mode!) Is your go to unless you need duplicator or more damage.

    -Luck Potions are nothing to sneeze at and you should have them up at all times!

    -Rush to Eye of Vlad, that +10 to luck helps, is always on, and doesn't take up an equipment slot. Yay!

    -Alucart Set is useful if you have the levels and stats to where it doesn't slow down your farming. Don't be afraid to drop this one if it improves your farming rate significantly to use a more offensive setup. Obviously enemy/room dependent.

    -Ring of Varda is nice if you need some extra offense, but doesn't give near as much luck as Lapis Lazuli. Same story as Alucart Set, room/enemy dependent.

    -Do the above and you will get this achievement long before you get the achievement for getting familiars to 50 (go farm Spectral Sword in Reverse Chapel), and likely before Alucard hits 60 unless you get unlucky with God's Garb drop from Guardian. Your reward for grinding this out is, you guessed it, more grinding!

    ------------------------

    TLDR:

    Always:
    Luck Mode + Eye of Vlad + Luck Potion + ONE Ring of Arcana

    Sometimes:
    Lapis Lazuli / Duplicator + Power of Sire / Alucart Mail / Ring of Varda depending on enemy/room.

    This is the link that contains all the drop rates and monster drops you need to get this achievement, above there is a box where you can enter your luck and the number of arcane rings you have, it will show you the exact odds you have of getting the drop

    lapis lazuli + ring of varda + mil horas de farm ai tu consegue
    Kilerbe8 21 Apr 2025 02:47
    Só uma dica, colocar a Sorte(Luck) no talo(o max do jogo é 99+99=198), não ajuda, sempre tem com contar com a chance de vir, mais cedo ou mais tarde, coloca duas Ring of Arcana que ajuda a aumentar a chance de vir os itens.

    Enfinnnnnn
    Enfin
    Enfin.
    Une très très longue quête.
    Je n'ai jamais été aussi heureux d'avoir un succès
    zgil 16 May 2025 16:37
    Duplicateur + power of sire + luck potion.
    Legendarylink0 18 May 2025 23:01
    Can you complete all rare items once without ring of varda and get the ring in a second playtrough or does it not stack and you need to start collecting in a second playtrough? thanx.
    thatbard 18 May 2025 23:18
    You need to have them all unlocked at the same time. Single file. I believe loading a "cleared" file will allow you to get the vardas
    rlxldk 19 May 2025 06:26
    Confirm, you need to see (you dont need to pick up them) all rare drops in one current playtrough. So, you need a save file with "Cleared" mark on your memory card
    zgil 19 May 2025 06:57
    C'est simple terminer le jeu une fois .
    Si non vous n'aurez jamais l'anneau de varda et le duplicateur.
    Démarrer une nouvelle sauvegarde en mode chance.
    Bonne merde
