This is very RNG based. spent too long to get it. the second robot was in the way of the door alot of the time.

This one was NOT fun. However, after checking youtube videos and seeing how speedrunners do this its not all that bad once you get a grasp on the route. As others have mentioned, it might be worth temporarily disabling hardcore mode to get some practice with a save state. Bring a couple of skip sandwiches along as they are pretty much necessary.

What sadist thought this was a good idea for an achievement anyways? If you're going to make something really hard, at least make it something gameplay-based like beat the entire game without ever having a party member reach 0 HP or beat the game without equipping a single weapon.

Took about 7-8 tries at first. After beating the game, managed to reload the save and got it first try. Not as fun as other cheevos but good for speedrunning or other challenges.
Maybe it's good done after Mario Kart since you're ought to have a good reaction

^"at least make it something gameplay-based like beat the entire game without ever having a party member reach 0 HP or beat the game without equipping a single weapon"

That's nice and all, but these would deserve a bonus subset imo, and the first one could be impossible as it's not calculated whether you reached 0 HP ever, reloading the game would reset the counter.
If anything it's an extreme extension of "Beat the game in one session" and both this one and what I suggest would be a challenge for speedrunners or extreme gamers.

And even if so, avoiding enemies sometimes could be the only way not to lose HP too, which makes your suggestions look even more sadistic than this one, considering that we have 1/128s and Pre-Teen Crisis already

I guess it is impossible on hardcore mode lol

Can a mod edit that video into the achievement description?

DagonTheGreatest 31 Jul 2024 05:55

Yeah this video. From what I remember, robots spawn in the same point except for mild RNG in one room. The manipulations with RNG for 1/128, especially Gutsy Bat, seem way harder than this one.

Thanks @permafrosty, got it second try following that route.

DagonTheGreatest 20 Aug 2024 12:10

This is by far the easiest achievement that requires precise overworld movements in the whole set and knowledge of game patterns. But clearly a possible one.

Just several days ago, got a Gutsy Bat via RNG manipulation guide, and damn, that was the hardest and most counterintuitive Nintendo thing I ever done. It's like playing a very randomized, laggy game to get a secret in it, this one will look relaxing to you after trying these out.

WHYYYYY

this was hell

Wasn't too bad for me, but I'm not sure if I just got lucky

tro7 22 Sep 2024 04:44

I haven't researched it, but I did notice in my attempts at this that one of the body guards that roams around on the lower floor tended to affect the positioning of the second bot in the hallway. I could reasonably get past that one but would usually get tagged by that one. When the body guard was in the upper part of the room, if I rushed up to the hallway and used a skip sandwich DX, the second bot would be in the lower part of the hallway.

Idk if its cheating but I had a really bad shader so I had a chance with this cause of the lag

OmniMitch 24 Oct 2024 18:17

Wasn't too terrible after I saw the route that Permafrosty linked to. Bring two Skip Sandwich DX's for this just to be safe, tho you can get lucky and make it with just one

muticere 4 Nov 2024 07:51

IDK how y'all are even getting through the first room, I get through the door before the robot gets me one out of every 10 times, only for the robot to be in front of the door in the second room. It's just hard to be in any way precise moving so fast.

NoobyFar 7 Dec 2024 16:05

I would delete this achievement due to the fact no one likes it and its not well done at all

matsunami0 10 Dec 2024 19:07

I disagree, it really wasn't that hard using Skip Sandwich DX.

NoobyFar 12 Jan 2025 00:19

Yeah because you got lucky doofus
