Speedrun with Earthen for Achievements

Guide with Treivia/Karlena from Earthen to get Challenge Complete, Speedrunner, Any% PB and No time to waste achievements.

Welcome

Hello fellow achievement hunters!

This is a quick and fast guide to getting the speed-running achievement with Earthen in under a week.

Earthen Start

I like starting with Treivia because she has Toxicology.

Map Settings

I found Duel with these settings worked best.

Hamlet for the Hardcore+ with Hamlet start achievement.



You want to have high movement speed and Guardposts off and Guards low and that's really all you need.

Make sure it's on Hardcore+

Play by Play

You want to unlock guard post first and get as many Minewatch as you can. These guys are really good.


Now you book it to the middle of the map where the Guard is guarding the two halves of the map. You should be able to take him out pretty easily with your Minewatch!


Now you should be at their main base which is usually not guarded by another hero so it should be easy to grab!


After grabbing their Palace, buy some more units for your hero and then go hunt down their hero.

Victory!

Thank You!

Thank you for reading this guide!

It's my first guide ever so please let me know if there's anything I can do to improve it.

for those of you on the recent patch who are having trouble getting the achievement to trigger, it looks like the changes to the map generation options were what caused me to be unable to get them. i tried the XS borderless map from the dlc, and since that doesn't put any enemies between the player and the computer, that did the job.

i wish i could reply to minniefinnie, i did what he said and was like "no way this is gonna work" and got the achievements + the use no magic and use no artifacts achievements

The option to set 'guards' to low was removed, this no longer works.

[minniefinnie]

you can go faster by setting opponent as ally and winning turn 1

Hamlet achievement seems completely bugged, you're able to do all of these other achievements illegitimately (though whether this method counts as legitimate is another matter) by making a game where all players are on the same team, but it doesn't work in the case of puzzle master.

[Daryatash]

Otherwise works perfectly though, big props for developing this strategy! Likely it's a bug with the achievement.

[Daryatash]

Doesn't unlock Puzzle Master, did it several times to make sure I had Hardcore+ and Hamlet on.
