Fector's Challenge - Beat 'Journey Of The Prairie King' without dying.

[zobu]

Hey!

I just finally unlocked this achievement. It took me many tries over a along time.

Steam says that 1,1% have unlocked this achievement. I'm no stranger to achievement hunting and I will say this one is really hard. IMO, in any other game this would definitely be something like 0,5%, if that. Considering that Stardew Valley is not your average shoot-them-up enthusiast game, I can't believe this achievement isn't much rarer. Or maybe I just suck at the Prairie King game.

So my question in- have you beaten this challenge? Do you consider this achievement super challenging? Do people use mods or something to beat it?

[Mist of Majora]

I beat this and considered it super difficult, even considering that it's actually easier to pull this off with reloads than it was when the achievement first came out (no mods, and I'm guessing a lot of people here are the same way).

I'd actually guess that I wouldn't have been bothered as much trying to pull this off if it took place in a different game, but the fact that such a stressful mini-game is present in one of the most relaxing games I own was definitely not lost on me lol.

1.5 made this achievement much easier to get.
You are no longer required to beat JotPK in one session like you were before 1.5, which added the ability to save your progress after every level simply by exiting the game. Once you come back, you'll be able to pick up right where you left off.

This also makes the regular clear achievement a lot easier to get, since you can just restart the day and try again if things don't go very well. If you don't grab enough coins to get the essential upgrades, you can just restart and hope the RNG fares much better next time.

Similarly, when going for Fector's Challenge, you can just restart the level you were on instead of the whole thing by restarting the day if you die at any point in the challenge as your save keeps track of whether you died during the challenge or not.

I did it when the game was at version 1.4 It is indeed challenging. But it was made a bit easier in 1.5 with the whole progress saving feature.

I can only say I wish I had that when I did it, LOL!

There are cheating mods for it yes, and to each their own I guess. Not much of a challenge if you cheat but I can sort of understand it if a person has put in countless tries without succeeding. So once again, to each their own on that one.
