Hidden ??? achievement

[One Winged Angel]

There is a new hidden achievement in the 0.7 update.
How to get it?

[davessaga]

It's an achievement related to going in a shop while damaged and buying a relic that would half your health like the cursed belt would cause the damage to be higher than your max hp. Due to that when you attempt to *heal* the damage via the same shop that you are in your money counter bugs out and you get essentially infinite gold. Doing all of this unlocks the hidden achievement but also causes you to only gain 10% of the soul coins you would have gained otherwise as well as not being able to unlock any other achievements on that run or challenge run.

Anybody have an easy plan to purposefully do this?

- If you don't have maxed reroll/rarity-reroll/banish in your soul shop, then remove other unnecessary upgrades and max those.
- Start a normal run, rank doesn't matter.
- Ignore the card: average, but don't banish it, just ignore.
- At the end of a stage before the shop when you choose a card you MUST get one that increases your base health or max health multiplier so that once you enter the shop you won't be at max health.
- While at the shop go to card selection and try to get the epic card: overworked (make sure you have it unlocked). Spam your rerolls if necessary.
- Once you choose it the heal option in the shop will cost NaN. Click it. Done.

Awesome, that was very helpful. It turned out I got Cursed Belt as the artifact for sale (super lucky), but knowing to take health cards to prepare made it work. Thanks!

What is the new ??? objective?

[Slayn]

This doesnt work for me, i've tried being at 10% hp before entering a shop and taking either cursed belt or overworked but i dont get the NaN option on heal after picking them, it only rediuces my max health, but doesnt "kill me" its just me? im really tired of trying this tbh, its too rng just to see it not work when i finally got the right opportunity

[davessaga]

what I did was just get slightly damage, rolled onto a shop, bought a cursed belt then *healed* through the shop. You can tell if it worked if the heal effect is a negative number. Dunno why it's not working for you.
Here are some thoughts on what could be going wrong for you. Perhaps there's some range in where you can't be too damage or something in order for it to work? think the reason the bug/achievement exists is due to some math error so being too damage could indeed be a reason in why it's not breaking correctly. Perhaps another reason is rerolling the shop after you buy the cursed belt also may cause the bug to not manifest?

I think when you buy the thing that reduces your max health, it has to reduce it below your current health, so being at 10% hp, your current health would still be way below your max health, so healing would still work normally.

It's pretty RNG, but you can restart until you have a map with lots of shops, then just do like Calm Koala says and get a max-health-increasing card (except Flesh) at the end of each level that's before a shop. If the shop doesn't have what you need, you can reroll once or twice, but otherwise save your gold for the next one.

If you want to reduce the RNG, take all the purple cards you can, then when there are only a few left go to a shop with low hp from taking an hp card in the previous level. Then just get a purple card rolled and do the rarity reroll on it. That was the plan I had already setup. I just got lucky and had the belt instead.

That or you could do the same thing to manipulate the belt's RNG if you have a good gold run.

Tank you, got Overworked with rerolls on my second run. I failed for 30+ runs with trying for atefacts.

It looks like picking max health increasing card and then buying/ rerolling Overworked in the shop itself is the strategy. Going into the shop on low hp after receiving damage on previous stage does not work.

Okay thanks all guys! seems like as some of you were suggesting, entering the shop being super low on HP does not work, you need to have some little hp missing from taking an extra HP card and then picking the Overworked one.

Again, million thanks! i had tried so many times and made me so frustrated i didnt even want to play and get the new weapons added until i got this done haha

[GreenTomato]

so what approximate % of health do I need to be at before entering the shop? Less than 50%? or almost full hp?

[davessaga]

I managed to get it at almost full hp

[GreenTomato]

thank you, I ve gotten it yesterday,
