Ring of Pain Achievements Guide Master of Strategy, Blizzard, Need an Antidote & More Tips

some simple guide for those who stuck getting the achievements

Intro

I'm writing a guide for some rare achievements in this game. I don't really recommend reading this guide since it can make the game less challenging, after like 100 runs I find it hard to not win the game using my repetitive strategy. Exploring the game by yourself is super fun. But if you're someone who played the game for long time but still can't get the achievement I hope this will help.

I wonder if I can say this but if the dev read this, I love this game!

I hope you guys enjoy the game as much as i do!

and finally, sorry for any grammar error.

Status Tier List

S: Defense/HP - the most useful, can't get wrong with this stat.
A: Clarity - you can build this up slowly but sure, by the time you reach boss, 20 clarity is comfy.
B: Attack - doesn't matter when you play status effects (Poison / Petrify)
C: Speed - unless you need to play tiara this stat is just useless, I personally never up this.

Best Items to get

• The Best Weapons:

Polearm = Attack next creature on pass
Poison Sword = +2 poison
Poison Dagger = +4 poison

• The Auto Clear Dungeon:

Soul Hourglass = Gain soul gain as soul damage to ALL damaged creature
Crushing concoction = Heal missing health also become petrify to ALL creature
Void Portal = Excess killing damage becomes soul damage to a random creature
Stone Caller = Inflict 2 petrify to all creature when taking damage

• The Best Spellbooks:

Soul Cannon = deal 30 soul damage / Mind Flay = deal curse damage equal to clarity

• The Unless You Caught In Explosion You Can't die:

Deflection = +20% parry
Parrying Shield = + 10% parry

• The You Want To Be Safe:

Sight Sphere = Reveal all cards
Endurance = You can Pass blocker
Cover of darkness = Ranged creatures range -1
Camouflage = Ranged creatures won't attack

• Some other S tier items:

Ascension = +1 petrify per 4 health
Skirt of Visions = Double you clarity
Bindings = +3 petrify when attacking second
Hermit's Tiara = Freeze on attack if you have only 4 items
Chugging Mask = Drinking potion on full health gives +1 max HP

Worst items you think is good but actually will kill you so don't

Unstable Fragment = Skip creature after attack
Maniacal = Drain your defense to negative infinity
Vaulter = Skip undamaged creatures on attack
Feinting Token = Move away from creature on attack
In some cases splash damage and evolve/devolve can do harm and also polearm without reveal all cards item if you're unlucky

Guide for some Achievements and Tips

- If you haven't win the game once then you should do it by yourself,
Afterward you will get Double Candle which is essential item for the achievement runs.
- Chugging Mask is the best item to start with, don't be afraid to deliberately pick the potions early even if you now you will take some damages in that floor for some sweet +1 max health.
- Reveal all cards item is incredibly useful and Pass a blocker item can be a life saver.
- You don't need 9999 souls, when your build is complete just skip everything to save time, such as when you already obtained polearm.
- Don't spend time on rares or epics because a single legendary can make crazier changes. If you see epic chest on the other side, just ignore it unless it's free or just close.

I will only list the hard to acquire achievement because the other ones are very easy to get but you can ask me for specific one if you have any trouble.

[Blizzard]

Start with Hermit's Tiara, priorities to only find and equip weapon, pass anything else until you find the polearm.
You might want find Misting Vessel to make the run easier, or just bulk your defense/health to survive, again you don't need to build up your attack since you will be doing 1 attack to the beast anyway. Now just poke the beast repeatedly.

[Need an Antidote?]

Start with Chugging Mask and you will want to raise you hp to around 20 or more to be safe and just find Time Rift, after a poisonous creature attack you, you will still stack poisons but wont take any damage. Then just walk over the snake repeatedly.

[Max Damage!]

Start with Chugging Mask. Build clarity with Skirt of Visions and get the Mind Flay Spell Book.

[Clearing the Room]

Look at the auto clear dungeon item list

[Juggernaut] & [Gigantic] & [Predator] & [Berzerker] & [Willing the World]

Start with Chugging Mask. Hold an Upgrade Scroll Until you find the Final Form Scroll

[Mastermind] & [Master of strategy]

Start with Chugging Mask. Find Poison Dagger (restart run if you can't find it before floor 8/9).
Get Visionary or Neuron Sight to see all cards and just build up you defense and health.
Go to dark ending and suicide bomb the boss with explosive creatures and stack the poison. easy win.

--------------------------

And now for the hardest achievements for me and the last 2 I obtained:

[Good Boys]

Start with whatever and Build Up your clarity because you need a LOT of souls. Find the blue chest and reroll until you get the Hand of Dog. After so many runs you finally get the Hand of Dog but then you can't find the dogs! Repeat with some snack to calm you down.

[Dead Revels]

Set the difficulty to hard and start with Striker's Veil. Ask your little brother to play and die (in-game) 100+ times more because you already have the other 98 achievements.

My Gameplay Video

@Chimera
that's why you find items that reveals surrounding cards so you can plan ahead. I still think polearm is godtier. When they updated the game for more achievements I still pick my Items of choice and instantly went to 100% again.

[Chimera]

Polearm kills you if there is an exploding creture on your way, or creature with spikes, if you got to legendary items, there is no point of picking, unless you want to kill yourself

@ankye
I Haven't touched the game for forever now so I'll try remembering. You will want to have as much freedom as you can for your movement in this game, especially in late game, 1 wrong move can be fatal so I avoid anything that can manipulate my movement against my will. Most enemies are constantly moving and traps everywhere. *Most likely* I put it there because I always get blown to death when there's a foe 1 card away and a bomb to explode in 1 turn on the opposite side, so yeah, bounce back to the spot try to avoid and boom.

[Ankye]

Feinting Token in "worst items"??? It's a passive form of polearm, why the hell is it there?!
