Almost lv 25 save file for the "One Tuff Pup" achievement

[dlpRat]

I don't know if this works but here's my lv 24, 65534 / 65535 save file.
https://files.catbox.moe/43vf2a.zip

EDIT: USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS MAY UNLOCK OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS OTHER THAN One Tuff Pup.

DL this file and unzip it, turn off Steam Cloud for this game, back up your save file locally, put my save in the game's folder, start the game, go left and down and kill the kobold, done!

Detailed guide
1. Open your Steam Library.
2. Right click this game and select Properties.
3. On the General tab, click and toggle Steam Cloud setting. (Make sure it's off!)
4. On the Installed Files tab, click browse. This will open the game's folder.
5. !!! IMPORTANT !!! BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILE (cosmo.sav). Rename it or just put it somewhere else.
6. Start the game, go left and down and kill the kobold and you are lv 25!
7. Quit the game, delete my save file, put your save file back, and turn on Steam Cloud.

It took me only 85 hours, totally worth it.
Let me know if this worked.

Thank you for letting me know.

I will think about using it or not. ^ .^
Actually, I had an idea that this achivement may be some kind of a riddle: if you finish the game, playing both as brother and sister, then their summorised level from save files is 12 plus 12. Almost 25 level that we need! Unluckicly, it doen't work so :c

I wish this achievement worked that way so that I could convince myself to play as sis.

You have done us a great service! I'm not sure if I wanna mess with my own save by downloading yours (pretty proud of my own personal progress), but I might just do it. It is true I can just revert to my own save easily.

EDIT: Saved and did it. Thank you very much, it was the only achievement I was missing. Now to hunt down more cheats...

(I seriously don't get this level requirement. It feels like there was supposed to be some grindable super-enemy to get level 25, but it was not included in the finished game, or something. Definitely un-fun and not worth doing legitimately, as it stands.)

There actually might be a couple incentives for a second playthrough. For one, there is a special ending scene if you speedrun the game fast enough (which I definitely didn't come close to doing on my first run). Also, there is a cheat code you can find that gives you a double-jump, which can probably break the game wide open. Since you can use cheats anytime, starting with the double-jump on a new save might result in a lot of sequence-breaking opportunities and make it easier to speedrun too.

The code for the double jump is SXUXYGAX if you want to mess around with it.

Thanks, I'm surprised you didn't get all your stats maxed out, I had them at 99 by level 14. Is there an enemy that gives you a decent amount of exp at higher levels?

I know there is a Metroid-esque, speedrun the game and undress Samus thingy buuuut we already know how bro and sis look like when they are... you know? But if it's really special, I might try another playthrough. Thank you for the recommendation.

I'm surprised you get all stats maxed out, like, how? I know some enemies drop stats upgrade item but it'll be insane amount of grind.
That goat head enemy in Exile gives you okay amount of exp until you reach lv 17. Lv 17 and beyond, every enemy as far as I know gives you only 1 exp. And exp needed for the next level gets higher and higher.

Maybe there's a better farming spot but I used here. (0.8-0.9exp / sec I guess)
I left the game open while steam input turbo function does all the hard work while I'm sleeping or away from home so it wasn't that bad, it's just time consuming (85 hours!!).

Most enemies drop some stat item, including every enemy you can tame. I think you can max out any stat within 1.5 hours if you find an easy spot to farm. I was surprised because you got to level 25, which is insane if every enemy only gives you 1 exp.
