The Impossible Dream "HARDEST ACHIEVEMENT"

[Jck Adx]

To take do you need:

1°) SpeedRunner (Time): You need to beat the game in under 4 hours. The timer pauses when you pause the game and you can take a break anytime. By exiting to the main menu you can see how much time you have on your save file. To beat the game in under 4 hours it's recommended that you rush the objectives, ignore the caves, and don't waste time if you can't find a secret. You can come back later with the portal mod and clear everything faster with better gear. Do not waste time mining the low-value resources either. You can grab the resources next to you and dig through them to level up your gear a little bit, but not too much. It's recommended that you rush for the long-range hook shot after obtaining the fire pickaxe. It'll help you move faster and access more locations.

2°) Hardcore (Deaths = 0): Probably the easiest in the list, with the exploit it's basically unmissable. If you die (it will happen) do not click continue. The game doesn't save until you respawn. Instead, close the application and re-open the game and you will respawn at the last auto-save, but it will not have counted your death. An auto-save is made everytime you go back in town, so make sure to regularly travel back there. It will save you some losses if you die and have to re-launch the game.

3°) Gold Farmer (Wealth): To obtain the gold star rating you need to have sold more than $15,000 worth of resources in your playthrough. To do this, make sure that you prioritize the back-pack tier 10 upgrade and upgrade it as soon as you have the gold for it. The backpack tier 10 gives you access to the cog mod Yuppie ki-yay (Get 30% more cash when selling resources) which is really useful for this trophy. It's recommended that you clear the latest area for the most valuable resources after unlocking the Yuppie ki-yay mod. You can farm a little bit before the final boss if you think that you are missing some gold. There is no way to track the amount of gold you've earned, unfortunately, but you can make a back-up save before the final boss in case you miss some.

4°) Explorer (Secrets): Keep that objective for the end before the final boss. Open the awesome SteamWorld Dig 2 - 100% Map and start collecting everything. You will need to obtain 100% of the cogs, rare gems found in caves, gear upgrades, and all the artifacts. Make sure that you use the portal mod and the mod to see secrets if you can't find some secrets. It saves you some time instead of looking around. You do not need to beat the Ultimate Trials (Gold To Hell and Back) for this objective. The artifact earned from the trials is optional. Each percent of the secrets discovered is tracked at the bottom left of your map. Before you go for the final boss, teleport in every region and check your secret's percentage before completing the game.
