Help with "Memento Mori" and "Mummy"

[MRetro]

I'm trying to get those achievements. In "Memento mori" I'm missing the last 3 deaths:

- The red ants one: I have no idea what else to try. I got the Homunculus. I speaked with the Skeleton. The Yellow Princess has told me several times to stop the crusade in reward of the treasure, I did, and in other lives I returned and nothing happened. The only thing I might be missing (although I don't think it's necessary) it's getting the machine that the Homunculus gives you.

- Arrow in the eye: I have understood that you get this one by letting the money reach 100 while in a party. I haven't been able to get it since when you get the option to create a party, a huge ammount of money goes away, but everytime I let it reach 100, all I got was the death by eating and the death with the broken heart.

- Getting drunk and drowning: same as the one above.

Finally, I'm also trying to get "Mummy", but is really hard to live for 101 years. I would appreciate any advice, or if you know a guide or something that tells you the exact stats of each card (that would be a lot of work thoug).

Thanks.

1) Promise to south princess no to go on Crusade again and then do it. But there are some prerequisites i think that nobody is sure about.

2&3) Should be one of random deaths when money reaches 100, dunno what's wrong. Try reinstalling maybe. BTW did you play before those deaths were added? Maybe try restarting or or cleaning your saves completely.

About stats - "reroll" dog until it takes you to the forest, that musroom helps. Also try to always have barn and defensive towers. It's hard but doable. I wasn't able to reach 200 years though.
Also search this hub for longer thread with advices on this topic.

Thanks! I'm not sure about if I played before the update, but I reinstalled the game. Wouldn't deleting the save files restart my progress with the achievement though?

You want to make sure the Foreign Princess makes you promise not to return. She can give you the item and you can agree to leave, but you need to have her approach you and say you can have it if you promises to never go back. I've gotten it mostly when I wasn't in a crusade and at home, but I've gotten it there too. That being said I've gotten crusade cards when I wasn't on a crusade too. So I'm not sure when is the accurate time to get it, but you have to promise not to return and then return. Once you do return keep playing and don't leave the city no matter what. Eventually she'll come and kill you and it might be in a later King.

I can't remember what I did to get it, but you might not need an actual party. The writing on the cards is sometimes deceptive. Try to have high people and money and perhaps during the crusade going to help you out. You might need all stats to be fairly high. Sorry I just can't remember.

While the Queen's brother is visiting have an over 100 money death and it should trigger.

This is the only one I can't get. There are some things that help apparently, like don't agree to parties, no romances, don't try the cake, agreeing with the doctor on some things, not one about the gout though. The vase will turn back time 10 years for you and that will help, but I've never gotten it on my longer runs where I needed it. I don't know of a card guide with all the choices, but after playing through a crap load of times you remember them. It's all random and you just have to be super lucky with the cards. You can get a few in a row that no matter what you pick you'll be dead. It blows. Good luck and if you do find something else that helps it along, please post it.

Well, achievements remain but cards and death progress are reset. Leave that for last resort.

Yeah, actually she didn't make me promise to leave, she just told me to. Any idea on how to make her promise that?

Thanks for the advice! If I discover something that helps I'll make sure to post it :)

Mmm then I really wouldn't want to do that, since I'm only missing those 3 deaths :/

I have no idea what triggered it. I might have already had a crusade where the vase found the treasure before I was ready for it or it might have happened when I was waiting to go on a crusade for the treasure. I know I've gotten it a few times when I wasn't there on a crusade and she just made me promise not to return there ever again. Maybe it had to do with building a statue there or killing the people, I really don't know. I will tell you that once you get it, you'll keep getting it because I've gotten that death so many times now.

Here's some more about reigning for long: http://steamcommunity.com/app/474750/discussions/0/152393186499390982/#c142261352651426932

Nice, I'll try to follow those steps, althoug getting to year 50 is already a challenge xD

[MRetro]

Ok I just got the arrow and the red ant deaths. What I think that might be important is:

-The witch and the fool talked to me about 3 dangers (I don't know if this step is necessary though). The third danger said: "The party won't end well, but at elast you will die in a creative way".

-Then I think it was the Queen who asked me to make a tournament

-Then I went to the crypt, found the Skeleton, talked to him and when I went out, all my stats were full and I instantly died, getting the arrow death.

This was made in a new game by the way, although I went a bit through (after 666 kinda)

For the red ants death, after I got the vase awakened (you need to get over the witch's challenge in order to obtain the frozen blood, if the dog gives it to you, it won't work), the Foreign Princess talked to me and we made a deal: she would give me the treasure (the machine that make things alive) but neither me or my future descendence will harm their people (you can easily see the difference between when she just asks you to finish the crusade and the promise itself). After I agreed, I got the option to go in a crusade, I accepted and she killed me. This was made in the same game as the arrow death, so maybe one of the steps above are important.

So probably restarting the save fixed it.

Still can't get this one though, and I've tried it a couple of times. Actually, when the brother was here and I reached 100 money, I got the arrow one.

As I've read in the Memento Mori guide comments, I should be able to get it when money is 100 and people is high. I'll try that.

EDIT: Ok, I finally got the Memento Mori achievement. I got the drunk death by raising money to 100 (people was kinda 50). It was in a new fresh game (died in 609). When money went full, this lady in the pink background told me to make a party and after that I died. Maybe it's a random money death, I don't really know if I did something special to trigger it.

Now I'm only missing the mummy one, this one is going to be tough :/

[MRetro]

Is there any requirement in order for the vase to appear? And for the witch to give the me opportunity to get the frozen blood? Because it's year 1383 and still didn't get the gem :/

EDIT: I got the chance (although I failed) in year 1703... I raelly don't know if I missed something or what
