cant get the achievement

[windhover]

I get 26 concentration in the game but the achievement is still gray. any advice?

[mldb88]

Were you doing it on a normal run (not daily climb or custom)? If so, was it a seeded run (typed in the seed code in the box before starting). Lastly were you using mods?

Has to be done on a normal run with no mods (ascension level doesn't matter). Hope this helps.

Not much point of having achievements if they work with mods. Someone would just create a mod that adds all missing achievements.

That's incredibly ignorant of a view to hold. Not all mods are cheats.

Plus you don't need mod support for some dingus to use a program to unlock all achievements for a game on Steam.

Regardless of whether that particular mod was used, mods sometimes make achievements easier.

Lets say that a mod adds a way to easier get rid of cards. Then the achievement for winning with 5 cards or less gets easier.

Or it might add a feature that lets you choose starting cards. Then "beat a boss in 1 turn" gets easier.

And so on. The point of Achievements is to get them done on a level playing field, so people can compare their efforts fairly.

Achievements are 100% for your own fun/challenge, nobody gives a crap about your achievements, not even your own mother.

There are mods that literally let you unlock achievements with mods, so your whole argument is moot.

Most games I play have achievements that seem correct: hard achievements are unlocked by only a few players. If mods can be used like that, they seem not be be used like that. It seems to be about honor, then, and most people seem happier not abusing the system?

I have only one achievement left for Slay the Spire (besides the "Get all other achievements" one, of course), and that is the "Speed run" one. No way I will be able to win in under 20 minutes, but I will never install a mod that would make it seem like I did, either. That would be flipping my middle finger at those who did it, and earned the achievement. They deserve the proper reward of a low percentage achievement.

Tbf, you could make a similar argument about every form of competition or accomplishment.

True, but I think this is the main point

I've done it. It's literally just not reading anything and spamming your way through the fights. No time to sit there and think. Just do. And with a decent selection of cards (and on Ascension 1 because that's the easiest difficulty), you just sorta steamroll through the game.

Good job! :D

I have 28/46 and while I can see all the other achievements as "doable" I don't know how I'll ever get the speed run one. I doubt I've ever completed Act One in less than 20 minutes.

But, I'll give the above "don't think, just do" a try since there's nothing to lose. Sounds like something Bruce Lee would have approved of :).

Speedrun just requires you to take advantage of A0. Pick Ironchad, don't bother taking block cards because your plan is to facetank, take a path with as many ?s/shops/campfires as you can,. Remember to not take keys either, you only need act 3.

I actually did it with Defect. But I think it's best done with Watcher, since she has the highest damage potential. You just need to memorize the enemy attack patterns.

I think I did it with chad but I agree watcher is probably the best if you know the enemy patterns well enough. Also set the animation speeds to fast or whatever the setting is called in options. It’s practically a requirement for doing it.
