How hard is it to get the "I Refuse to Die" achievment?

[Penis Parker]

How much time does it take? Is it annoying and/or frustrating?

Just know that if you're trying to achieve it the hardest way possible (no mods, no peace & tranquility), it's going to depend a lot on your skill and in some cases luck, and it's going to be very hard and that's an understatement.

And if I use Peac and Tranquility?

Well... you COULD use mods to make things infinitely easier, but if you're an absolute madman like me and decide to beat every Death Wish and every optional challenge, no Peace and Tranq with only what the game itself gives you, then prepare to suffer, a lot.

Thanks for the replies!

You don't get anything special for beating Death Wish legitimatly compared to using P&T or mods, other than bragging rights and the feeling of doing it the hard way.

As for your question, getting all the stamps may take a few weeks or months, and some bonuses are infuriating, such as the "No hat powers & With One-Hit Hero Badge equipped" bonus on "10 Seconds Until Self-Destruct" as that one bonus took over 300 deaths for me.

It's easier in P&T. Unless you wanna waste weeks or months doing them the hard way.

It is much easier and less frustrating if you are attempting to get the "I Refuse to Die" achievement with Peace and Tranquility. I just recently got the achievement without using P&T or cheats, and I can definitely say there were some levels that made me want to throw my controller.

Since I have never used Peace and Tranquility I'm not 100% sure on what it does but I've read online that "it removes the need to do the side objectives", as winning gives you all three. It also helps in different ways for different missions, such as giving you health steadily during boss battles.

So yeah, it will be easier to do it using Peace and Tranquility. But beating those really hard Death Wishes without P&T (cough cough Cruisin' for a Bruisin') is very satisfying!

I just did the final quest with P&T, but I read it wasn't available... ? It is though, it gives you pretty much only health regen but it's still useful against some bosses where you can't even understand what's going on.

To get P&T on levels that don't unlock it usually after 2, 3 or even 50 deaths, go to the options, red tab and tick on "Assist Mode". It will give you 8 health instead of 4. Enter the Deathwish. If you wish to play it but with the standard 4 health, leave the Deathwish, then disable Assist Mode. When you return to the Deathwish you wanna play, it will have the symbol indicating that P&T is active there.

note: this might affect levels with just the main goal and/or only one of the bonuses complete on Hard Mode, so be careful.

That depends. Seeing all the replies you have, I'll say a word on P&T.

I only used it once on the dw where you have to complete chpt 1 act 3 with only 15 jumps or less. When I died 3 times, P&T removed side objectives and instead of 15 jumps, there were 24.
