Dante The Gambler Achievement

It's the one that i have to spend 500K red orbs with Dr.Faust. Can i do it in the void and not actually lose it in the real game? I don't use it very often.

I try it myself and you can't. you have to use it during the mission.

Do you need to use it all at once? Or just use a total number of 500K with DR Faust?
How exactly do you get it ? Do you have to shoot with Faust (X) or is it ok to just throw the hat and hit with other weapons?

EDIT: one more thing - how on earth are you supposed to get 3M X 3 characters to unlock the Ex Provocations and 100% skills trophy?

most people do it on mission 13, after the divine statue jump down and kill everything with faust hat, then reload checkpoint and repeat. note that you can upgrade the hat to get more orbs and doing hat trick will give more orbs.

It doesn't have to be all at once. To quickly spend the orbs, in Gunslinger style, hold lock on + forward + style button to maximum charge (summons a red orb meteoroid). This move does a ton of damage and costs about 150000 red orbs. Just use it a few times, then finish the mission to get the achievement.

Look on YouTube videos about "red orb farm". It is on mission 13. You can make about 250K orbs per run. It is pretty fast.

My tip: go on Human dificulty, drop on the place, use gunslinger and the Hat Trick skill but keep killing the "respawn-monster things". If you keep a S rank, you get more orbs. Dont try to accumulate monsters, just smash tem fast.

After having 500K you just hold aim and shoot. The Faust will burn 500k in seconds! You dont need to end the level to unlock the achievment

If you have more than 500k Red Orbs on you, there is a cheap trick I found out about yesterday.

Fire away with Dr.Faust until you unlocked the achievement. Then simply Alt+F4 the game. Restart the game and go to Mission Select and cancel your current Mission. All the Red Orbs that you have lost by using Dr.Faust are being refunded to you.

You can do this Alt+F4 trick even to reset the No Continue bonus. If you die for your first time against a boss throughout the mission, instead of selecting any of the revive options, just Alt+F4 and restart the game. You can continue from the last checkpoint right before the boss and the No Continue bonus will still be available for you at the end of the Mission.

Thanks mate i try to test this when i have 500K red orbs. Right now i need them to max out the skills. (which is another challenge by itself.)

Mission 13 huh? Alright i try to look it up on youtube or something. (This 3 million orbs for one skill thing is kinda ridiculous.)

Later on when you unlock DR faust 4 skill you can farm those 500K orbs back in like 5 minutes.
