Total Victory! achievement

[Megumi]

so far i got 9/10 of the achievements, i've finished the game 2 times without losing but i cant get this one, i'm doing something wrong?

I presume you were getting Ending 1 (drug lord)?
When it popped up for me, I had run in which I didn't do any side-gigs, so that might be the issue? The you need to do "Virgin Run"?

I got all endings and now I only need the Total Victory! achievement. Is there any way to do it without a full reset? Because the game gets really tough later and I don't think I can't do it without the cards I've unlocked.

I'm pretty sure whole achivement centers around you never losing.
Good news is, you can backup your save if you don't want it to be permanently lost, you can find it in \AppData\LocalLow\AleCubicSoft\DeadEndCity

As for how to achieve it, you might want to rely on following cards:
- Neckbreaker - to prevent Fighter from getting Ire buff
- Liver Blow - upps dmg on every use. It boosts dmg for ALL Liver Blows, so having multiples helps built it up
- Duck - shield + bonus dmg for next attack. It stacks and bonus dmg doesn't dissapear when round ends, so theoretically, you can stack dmg until you can one-shot an opponent
- Bandages - 8HP might not seem like a lot, but it's 20% of your starting HP, this free heal can save your butt

Among items, I recommend
- Hot pepper (+1 Strength)
- Herb (+1 Agility)

Above is based on my successful run.

And the most vital part is:
IF YOU THINK YOU'll LOSE, RUN!
When you retreat from battle it's not counted as a loss.

Hi, sorry for the trouble.

The requirement for the "Total Victory!" achievement is to "Clear the game without triggering any Bad End scenarios."

To get this achievement, you need to avoid any tiles marked with a Bad End symbol and make sure not to lose to the same enemy 3 times.

When you start a new game, the "restart" counter in the game will also reset.

We've also updated the English achievement description, hope you find that helpful.

Thank you!

I finally got it, but it was not very fun. I had to delete my progress, then I had a little bit of luck with my cards until I reached the store and then I had to grind the hell out of the game, stealing a few dollars from enemies and then dying in the few side combats with no abuse scenes as a consequence of losing, dozens and dozens of times until I got powerful again.

Now I get why almost 90% of the players never got this achievement.

Yea i get the feeling that ima have to do this too. After resting, I lack a lot of the items i had before. That being said, I know how every fight is going to turn out so its not that bad

Hate these types of achievements...

At least it's doable! But yes, it's not nice that an achievement requires you to delete your progress and play in a repetitive, annoying way to get it.
