Anyone got the "Sucks to Suck" achievement yet?

[FlashStep]

if so, does it actually "take away" all of your steam achievements? Cause that would... suck.

There's a shopkeep somewhere around the outer edge of the map that offers to sell "achievements."

Can you verify that this is where you get that achievement? It must be the most expensive one he offers (I got one achievement from him).

And he is located directly next to the 9 sided.

Just gonna repost this here and kinda walk out of the room.

For anyone actually interested in sciencing it out - the achievement loss achievement looks to be related to the "monitor doll" item, which is the item in the achieve thumbnail.

I've seen quite a few of them lying around, but I don't really want to touch that with a 10 foot pole until it's actually known what the effects are.

Still, I think taking your steam achievements would be too harsh. Gotta be something else, right? :x

they cant take down achievements

I did pick up the Monitor doll before my save got erased. Nothing happened, although I didn't have enough time to play around with it.

If the Dev sees this, could you provide some clarity if this achievement is supposed to wipe out your previously gained achievements? Since I'm going to have to replay this again from the beginning it would be nice to be able to knock this one out as quickly as possible, if it's as drastic as the description appears to say. Maybe provide spoilered hints or clues as to how to obtain it?

@Zoom: If the dev codes it, they can erase/relock achievements gained. There's a couple of games/demos that have shown it to be possible.

We really don't want to give much away...

I'll just confirm that the monitor doll will not affect your achievements. And that the achievement merchant can answer this question better than I can. Go talk to him! As @Ryan Dorkoski stated, he hangs out behind a stall at the 9-sided Ziggurat of Delvine, in the Red Quarter.

I figured I'd test the coin out with the save the devs put up to find out for myself, I guess I'll put it under a spoiler tag on the chance there's somebody who does want to keep it a mystery?

Apparently, it really does seem to take away achievements? http://i.imgur.com/T66jv0f.png
I can't really tell for sure if it's permanent or something, it still shows I got the achievements on the Activity tab, though I had no idea something like this was even possible; the Steam support FAQ says achievements can't be reset. I'm not even mad or anything if this is permanent since I was planning to start a fresh game to begin with, just really impressed this was something they could even accomplish. Kind of cool and very devious at the same time.

so the post above you literally lies? lol

Do you mean the dev post? If so then no, the monitor doll has nothing to do with the achievement.

[FlashStep]

ugh this is turning out to be a problem for achievement hunters

[OniBarubary]

This is absolutely hilarious to me if Cett's post is accurate.

[Uro]

Oh. I never noticed that dialogue option. Guessing that's it.
That's kinda annoying tbh, to get everything you have to lose everything atleast once.

Destroys any kind of nostalgia behind the situation you achieved anything in too, it'd just kinda blur into Oh this is when I reset the game to get this out of the way and then re-did everything.

Real question is why the misleading monitor doll thumbnail, I guess.

[anelusive]

I can't find this achievement merchant... spent multiple in-game days looking around 9-sided ziggurat but no luck T_T definitely an 'achievement' I'd like to get done early haha

EDIT wow ok, when dev said behind a stall I thought that meant in an alley behind a stall or something, but nope, the merchant is right there...

For anyone else having trouble locating the merchant: http://i.imgur.com/tn11sYo.png
