I like to live dangerously achievement

[Doctor Fetus]

It's just me or this achievement is not even that hard?

0BC
two crossbow turrets
hokito bow
cursed sword unlocked right be4 the Hand
high level of tactics
mutations that give unvulnerability and extra DPS when you use flask

The final boss dies in ljust few seconds having no chance to hit you.

I belive there are higher DPS setups that could make it even easier. I also believe double tonic with a cursed sword work as well although I did not try it myself.

Seriously, beating a game on 4BC is like 100 times harder.

It's not really hard with any setup as long as you find Cursed Sword in the Castle and you know Hand's mechanic good enough to not get hit.

At least one of his attacks (a single hit followed by a ground slam) is almoust instant and very hard to react.

He is not hard at 0BC, but doing him hitless w/o a specific setup is very difficult IMO.

Hey guys, reaaly good videos, but i did not say it is impossible, i said it is very hard for an average player (like myself :D).

And whatever I have no idea why this achievement has so small completon precentage, espacially comparing with "beat the game with 4 BC on".

well i guess theres too many peopel that do not take the chance to use the cursed sword out of fear that they wont get a long run

6/10 post. Needs more wolf trap. Pair it with that beauty poison inducing knife dance in Ray's vid. Laugh as you reroll your cursed sword for +100% dmg to poison and/or 60% to bleeding to go along with like +50% at max HP or something.

Anyway why I was I posting I forget. Ah yes bear in mind that until about Christmas I like To Live Dangerously was a much harder achievement to get, and the overwhelming consensus is that a 4BC win was substantially easier than it currently is. In 1.0 the damage cap in the HotK fight is at 5% and health is higher. Moreover, without custom mode you might put together a great run and just never find a cursed sword when you want one... or maybe you find a weaker one earlier on in the game and have to finish the run completely hitless. Or, you get a nice cursed sword right when you want it but not everything else you need for your perfect setup you're trying to cheese the hand with.

It just wasn't an achievement you were likely to get unless you went out of your way to try and do so and had a pinch of luck on your side on top of that. Even then... the tiniest mistake can restart your run. I do agree it's not very hard and I didn't find it hard myself but at the same time, the percentages make sense to me. They'd look differently I think if the game had been like 1.1 since the beginning.


Edit: I peeked your profile. How are you doing with the HK achievements? Embrace The Void I felt was harder than anything in Dead Cells. Seems you're a fan of Super Meat Boy as well. I tried that game out last night for the first time. The control especially in the air is really weird and floaty for me and I haven't gotten used to it yet, but I'll stick with it I guess because so many people like the game. Not going to lie I really wish I got Celeste instead.

I didn't say my build is the best against the final boss, it's just a build that worked for me. I am not a Dead Cells expert, of course there should be better builds to get this achievement.

As for HK question I spent like 70 hrs to beat Godmaster DLC and half of this time I spent to deal with the last pantheon. So yeah it's hard, but fair and doable with practice and patience.

And actually I am not a big fan of Super Meat Boy gameplay, I just love the characters, Doctor Fetus especially :D

I did expect a bit of a defensive reply based on the other posts but in all seriousness if you have that cursed sword achievement then you're a very good DC player in my opinion and deserve kudos for accomplishing something that the vast, vast majority of people who've played the game haven't done. And you have Embrace The Void as well it seems. Your gaming skills are impressive. Cheers sir.
