This achievement seems like it's going to be a tricky one to get, especially given that the controls list on the pause screen obscures the slot reels.

Auto-battling with Setzer on Slot will generate a random result, it seems... but while I've managed to get the bad version of Joker's Death several times, still no luck on the real deal.

I got it from making most of my my party members spamming Curaga on themselves and the opponents and having Setzer spam slots, all this in auto battle. Took hours though.

I found miracle shoes helps too , a relic that gives you passive Regen among other things.

Best way to do this, have Setzer solo, put two Hermes Sandals on him and set the speed to very fast. Then go to Vector and confront the guardian, manually use the slot command and then hit auto battle. Hope that Setzer doesn't use a physical attack as that causes the Guardian to counter attack. Make sure to Save and Quick Save before doing this so you don't lose any progress. It might take a bit of time depending on how merciful RNG is but I managed do pull it off within 30 minutes or so.

Finally got it against enemies outside the dino forest. Setzer auto slots, Strago+Relm attacking with Healing Rods (Hermes sandals on Relm), Gau raging as General to keep the party fully healed.

Thank you! This worked for me on literally my second attempt against the Guardian.

I have spent well over 15 hours on this damnable achievement with both auto battle and pause buffering with an echo screen. I have had Joker's Death at least 50 times on auto battle and I have only managed to get 2 of the 7s on pause buffering with the 3rd or 2nd being literally one off on either the dragon or the diamond. I hate this achievement and I curse steam and any other platform that thought this was a good idea. In case anyone is wondering... I STILL don't have the achievement.

I just got it doing this, thanks for this strat. Had to go actually learn the General rage first, was fighting like 4 Tumbleweeds just above dinosaur forest, two of the Tumbleweeds died, I had Relm heal one and Strago heal another. For some reason after about 5 minutes of auto, Setzer started just default attacking and I had to turn off auto and hit slots and turn on auto again. After maybe 15 to 20 minutes, Setzer hit the joker, the achievement ONLY popped after the battle screen closed and I was back on the overworld (I also coincidentally got the achievement for killing 2000 enemies which was an insane chance there too).

Best method I've found is using Gau's Destroyer rage. Spamming reraise prevents most party wipes with the "bad" Joker's Death (Which will NOT trigger the achievement even if you survive the battle). Keep a couple tanks/healers on Defend ready to step in if things go sideways. Heal between battles when HP gets low. Save often, as you can still get supremely unlucky and pull BJD before you get a reraise up.

Don't make it its own grind. It's best combined with veldt grinding, esper training or power levelling.

Reading all these comments gave me tons of emotional support while grinding for this. I got it randomly while on dinosaur forest with Setzer and Gogo spamming automatic slots and Terra spamming curaga. It took me maybe 4-5 hrs

Dear reader don’t lose hope! It just takes some grinding

I'm surprised that the RNG hasn't been nerfed for this. Over two years later and it still sounds like it's a huge time sink.

Just to add some data points for anyone going after this achievement: it took me 451 slot commands on auto-battle (I didn't count manual slot attempts) before I got one enemy facing Joker's Death. The rolls and odds broke down as follows:

Mysidian Rabbit: 116 or 25.72%
Prismatic Flush: 144 or 31.93%
Chocobo Stampede: 78 or 17.29%
Dive Bomb: 33 or 7.32%
Mega Flare: 25 or 5.54%
Random Summon: 28 or 6.21%
Joker's Death (Party Facing): 26 or 5.76%
Joker's Death (Enemy Facing): 1 or 0.22%

Granted I stopped after hitting the achievement. So the actual percent for the "good" Joker's Death might be lower, but I would think the sample size is large enough that most of the other possible rolls are in the general ballpark.

I had zero luck trying all methods for many hours. Finally with just Setzer in party I did the pause and 7 trick but stopped the third wheel on bar with reraise cast on Setzer a couple of times. After that I was able to stop the third wheel on 7 almost instantly. It was as if the game needed to record that you had gotten the bad version. Would recommend saving after he dies and comes back a few times.

Got it a sec ago on the Guardian at Vector (came back after getting Terra back after lab shenanigans)This enemy does nothing and can't be killed in any other way. Just set it on auto and setzer did it after 3 tries on his own.
After spending 4 hours on my endgame save trying everything else, this worked!
