Yes. You have to beat the game on the nightmare perma death difficulty.

just out of interest, if you die doesn't it just reload a save? whats stopping you from saving then going back? unless it means you have to complete the whole game in one sitting?

If you die the saves will be inaccessible. - You can probably circumfent this by just backing up the saves ocassionally though.
Or just reload whenever you're about to die.
Basically just get the aug that will prevent jump damage as that's a very common thing to die by.

Be careful, this achievement (like Foxiest of the Hounds) seems semi-glitched.

Just finished the game on the perma-death difficulty and no achievement at the end.

I'll try like I did with Foxiest of the Hounds, switch back to the first build and reload my save before the end of the game.

I can confirm the same trick (downgrade to 1.0 and reload the save before the end of the game) unlocked the "I've never asked for this" achievement for me.

I just noticed this thread now (the OP was already answered "no") but for the others: the achievement unlocked for me during the "special cutscene" which is played partway through the credits (DX12 game version). I didn't need to reload or anything... I actually fought him head on and killed him then looted him quick (not that it matters, no NG+ for this mode.. but just for the sake of it lol).. the credits rolled and nothing... then that cutscene starts and while it's playing it awarded me the "I Never Asked For This" achievement.


Edit: Just to clarify, when looking at my Steam achievements it showed "I Never Asked For This" during that cutscene in-between the credits.. meaning that's when it appeared to count on my profile. The actual pop-up for the achievement didn't happen until the credits ended and it took me back to the main menu. So before you go re-loading your save and/or rolling back to other versions of the game, wait through the credits.
