Doom Slayed achievement not working

[Distilled]

Was grinding for the Doom Slayed achievement, which requires you to be killed by a Demon after it uses it's 'any sanity hunt' ability within a minute of entering the location. I managed to get a Demon and it killed me within a minute of me entering, however the achievement didn't unlock. Is the achievement glitched, or is there something specific I'm supposed to do?

Edit: I got the achievement after getting Demon again.

is it really within 1 minute of entering the location? i thought it was within 1 minute of loading in, meaning time you spend in the van is also lost, but I m not sure if thats how it works

Demons can also hunt naturally within 1 minute if you meet their sanity requirement; If you went in with sub>80% sanity due to a difficulty mod, Or if you were just standing around in the dark/saw ghost events/etc that collectively brought you below 80% sanity, then if it hunted Naturally it wouldn't give you the achievement.

Also if you trigger a hunt via a cursed object it won't count either. It MUST be the Demon's ability specifically that triggers the hunt that kills you.

it is 1 minute from opening the front door of the location.

you can use Custom Difficulty to your advantage for this. ideal setup would be:

- starting sanity 75
- pills 5
- sanity drain 0
- infinite sprinting
- player and ghost 150 speed
- high activity
- low roaming / events
- broken fusebox
- all cursed items
- all doors starting open

now go to Camp Woodwind (you want an open area for ghost to see you), take 1 pill to get 80 sanity (only Onryo with flames or Demon ability can trigger a hunt here), rush to Monkey Paw and wish for activity. wait till minute is up, leave and repeat

And that's probably why many people get confused after following these kind of guides. You loose 5 sanity in 42 seconds on small maps, so there's quite a high chance that a Demon just hunts naturally in that time, especially if you can't even switch on the lights due to a broken fuse.

i'm sorry, but you missed "0 sanity drain", there is nothing to get confused about with these settings. with these settings ONLY the demon ability can kill you because you don't trigger Onryo's fire-hunting and in singleplayer you CAN'T trigger the Yokai talking hunts because that's broken there

Yeah, my bad, sorry. I've seen it quite often without the sanity drain as well.

Now that I think about it, it did do a singing event while I was standing in the dark, so that explains it.

Been on this for another 2 hours, only got 1 demon and it was a regular hunt. This achiev is pretty bs. Of course I've had it happen to me prior to achievements being added to this game, but now it's impossible for me.

[ThreatDesigns.tv]

3 demons after 3 hours, last two didnt even attack, yeah, f this.

you don't actively identify the ghost if you hunt for this achievement, you take a specific set of custom difficulty + actions and just dip after one minute (after opening the entrance) has passed.

Custom Difficulty Setting (copied from my earlier post):

- starting sanity 75
- pills 5
- sanity drain 0
- infinite sprinting
- player and ghost 150 speed
- high activity
- low roaming / events
- broken fusebox
- all cursed items
- all doors starting open

Did that for 3 hours, last 2 demons didn't even hunt within that time. This is just a plain rng bs achievment.

It's not something I recommend hunting because who knows how long it would take.

You also got it during this event which has boosted ghost stats.

I don't get why we should set the sanity to 75 - and boost it to 80. The Demon could hunt at 100 sanity with his ability. Where are the benefits when it's 80?
