Can't get "Extreme Persistence Detected" achievement

[RikkiUW]

I've read about people having the same issue on VR. Trying on world A3. I wait until Elohim suggests another puzzle, wait a few more minutes for good measure, get the sigil. Elohim says 'good, you're learning'. No achievement though. Tried twice (restoring a backup after getting the sigil so it's not solved), both with teleport and classic movement.

Has anyone managed to get it in the VR version? Any suggestions? Do I have to wait even longer after he suggests another puzzle?

Are you using reset? Or dying (which also causes a reset)? If I recall correctly, the achievement mentions failing a couple times ... and failure requires a reset, I believe.

(In other words, just taking a bit longer to solve the puzzle doesn’t trigger the achievement. I’m not sure Elohim’s warning is even required.)

[RikkiUW]

I know I did the first time I tried, don't recall if I did the second time. I tried it again just to be sure, dying once and resetting once and it still didn't unlock. I've already beat the game so getting it when playing isn't going to happen.

[kablahrz]

As I said, my recollection is that a couple failures were required. (Add’l reading indicates duration also matters.)

[RikkiUW]

So I died at least 8 times and spent over half an hour in the puzzle, and still didn't get the achievement. I give up. It just sucks that one picky/buggy achievement is stopping me from completing the game.

There must be some obscure requirement like it can't be your first red sigil, can't be world A, you need at least 15 sigils already, etc.

It seems to be indeed broken. I was trying to achieve it fruitlessly yesterday.

Let's compare the community stats. In the VR version, Extreme Persistence Detected is the single rarest achievement with 0.2% achievers. Compare this to the same achievement in the non-VR version which was unlocked by 38.1% of players.

It would be great if the devs could investigate and fix the issue.

Any news on that? It's still one I am missing, too, regardless to what I try...

I also tried to get this achievement with no luck. In the end, I just transfered my saved game from flat version to VR version, and after launching the game achievement automatically popped up. I suppose this 0.2% achievers went same way.

[RikkiUW]

Oh wow that's clever. It just instantly popping up without you having to do it kind of proves that it's bugged though. I don't understand how the developers have been unable to reproduce this.

The "extreme persistence" guide works, resetting every 10 seconds until you've accumulated enough time (it doesn't track puzzle time consistently - it's about 2 minutes after ELOHIM suggests you move on to another puzzle, or what should be 12 resets but I did 25 to be safe)
