Normally I'd prefer to complete all achievements by myself but the ones in Epistory is insane so this mod is very welcome.

Now for anyone wanting to have a bit of fun and you happen to have a macro keyboard try this out.
Disclaimer: Older computers may have a hard time keeping up.


- Install the mod
See GiddiOne comment.
- Create a keyboard macro that can be toggled on/off.
Have the macro Press A (down) + Wait 15ms + Release A (up) + Wait 15ms
- Bind the macro to one of your macro keys and start the game.
- Enable the mod as instructed and start an Arena - Labyrinth seems to be able to go on forever.
- Press your macro key to start spamming A.


Now why do i call this fun.
Well the game is actually pretty well made so it will register all the key presses but the graphics will "lag" behind. Mobs will therefore run towards you then stop and wait until it becomes their turn to die. It is somewhat soothing to watch :D

wish I knew this at the start, with about 1'500 kills left I found out that I could've just held the 'A' key instead of spamming it like I was doing all this time

Used this with the kids who are a bit young for speed typing, they can play the whole game through, but you need to update it for spells.

In folder: steamapps\workshop\content\398850\763521706\

edit file dictionaries_aaaa.json

Add after the compound line:
{ "name": "FIRE_Magic", "words": [ "fir" ] },
{ "name": "ICE_Magic", "words": [ "ice" ] },
{ "name": "LIGHTNING_Magic", "words": [ "lig" ] },
{ "name": "WIND_Magic", "words": [ "win" ] },

Great mod, helped me get all the missing achievements.
for those wanting 1% Muse and Diamond ones: Arena - Labyrinth with Ice powers works like a charm. Takes patience though.

Feels too much like cheating to use this mod. The achievements are doable without it.

Update to my previous comment:
Out of Desperation to earn every achievement in this game, I got the mod...
It helped me earn at least four of the achievements I'm missing.
My only issue is I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT HOW I OPEN THE PAGE TO ADD THE COMMAND PROMPTS TO CHANGE THE ELEMENTS TO F, I, W, and S...

Can ANYONE PROVIDE DETAILED/STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS on how to pull up the command prompt window in Steam Workshop for this mod so I can change the elements to those four single-letter key binds?

How to enable magic change? I added lines but nothing happened
Pvt. Jonlad Nov 15, 2023 @ 4:23pm 
Does this address the small bugs that are only 1 letter in length? I've found they are not represented as "a" with this dictionary, but instead as any random letter.

If you want to be able to change the magic type. Go to .../Steam/steamapps/workshop/398850/763521706. And add the following lines to the dictionaries_aaaa.json:

{ "name": "FIRE_Magic", "words": [ "F" ] },
{ "name": "ICE_Magic", "words": [ "I" ] },
{ "name": "WIND_Magic", "words": [ "W" ] },
{ "name": "LIGHTNING_Magic", "words": [ "S" ] },

The brackets contain "F", "I", "W", "S" but Steam removes them in the comment.

-Flawless Diamond achievement: I have read commentaries that you can get this one in labyrinth, IDK since I got this one in creation city, go to the highest point of creation city, where is the final nest that unlock the teleporter to get out of the map, near the bridge close to the teleporter there is a point where if you press space you should be able to hit 3 electrical building thingy, make sure you have the spark element selected before using the "Aaa mod", then press space to go into writing mode, hold A button, and repeat until you get the achievement, space, hold A, and so on
Shirohige.HD Jul 17, 2023 @ 2:55pm 
Achievements:
-Kill 500 enemies with fire, spark and wind achievements: choose forest arena map, make sure you start with the element that you want the achievement, and just hold the A button, except when the wasp enemies appear that require you to press random letters
-Insect's Bane and kill 500 enemies with ice achievement: best arena map is labyrinth, make sure you start with ice element
-Song of Ice and Fire achievement: you should get it automatically trying to get Insect's Bane

Ok so after playing for a bit with the mod I have some insights to share:

-Factory and Island arena maps are not playable since they require that you change elements
-You can change the starting element in arena map, to do so, deactivate the mod (dont uninstall the mod, just go to options > gameplay > gameplay language = whatever except the mod > keyboard layout = whatever except the mod), start the main campaign (continue button in the main screen), change the element to your desire > ESC button > main menu, done, you will start the arena map with that element

Thank you, I didn't feel like grinding Insect's Bane, Flawless Diamond and Song of Ice and Fire achievements

IDK why you recommend the factory arena map, since this mod makes impossible to change elements, the only map that works is forest

Thanks but how TF should i switch elements? Their title is no_word
King Wizard May 8, 2023 @ 12:55pm 
It doesn't work? :crashbcoot:
ANIKI Feb 19, 2023 @ 11:03pm 
You might also have to change keyboard layout to "AAA" however on Linux for me this mod doesn't work. (assuming it doesn't work for Mac either given the comments)
ANIKI Feb 19, 2023 @ 10:59pm 
@Teely - On this mod page click the green "Subscribe" button, then after the game quickly syncs, open it and go to Options > Gameplay > then set Gameplay Language to "Aaa."
steff Jan 6, 2023 @ 11:13pm 
how do i download this
CheluNeb1 Dec 22, 2022 @ 4:17pm 
Thank you for greatly reducing the grind! Helped me spare tens of hours for getting the 10k enemies killed. Quite a significant help!
DonutSteel Oct 15, 2022 @ 2:03am 
I wish this was ABAB or something that you can spam faster
vokiel Apr 16, 2022 @ 1:16pm 
This makes no difference anymore. The dictionary isn't used in-game regardless of game mode.
SarahFireHeart02 Mar 26, 2022 @ 9:29am 
I don't want to get this mod to cheat the game... I thought this will help me make the game easier (since I'm a natural born key pecker that I got from my dad through genetics) Thanks dad! (if you can't tell I'm being sarcastic when I'm thanking my dad for giving me his natural born key pecker.)

How can I determine which words to type? I mean to let the game use the words I choose, you know I'm a Chinese, and I want to use this game to memorize words.
Teemomomo Mar 7, 2021 @ 2:36am 
Wonderful!Thank you
tarRAEsque Feb 2, 2021 @ 8:58am 
worked perfectly, thanks for the mod^^ used this for advanced typist achievement. yes this mod is basically cheating, but i don't feel bad because the game cheated first :P honestly any potential guilt i had about cheating was immediately forgotten the moment i realized that the game starts counting WPM as soon as enemies spawn in, even if you can't see the word yet. i know i can type 60 WPM, hell i know i can type 80 WPM, but not if it's measured like that.
Mirai Dec 28, 2020 @ 8:52am 
Gura loves this mod.

I managed to get it working by forcing Steam to use Windows executable instead of the native one (right click the game in the library, select Properties, in first tab enable checkbox with "force steam to use runtime" and then select one of the Protons there, 5.0 worked well for me)
SILVERandGOLD53 Apr 2, 2020 @ 6:55pm 
This worked for me, and I noticed the game runs a certain way with this mod. I used it in the Arena and I noticed that the game will lock onto one enemy and then only count your typing towards that one enemy. This makes the speed at which you need to type to skyrocket just to keep up with multiple enemies.
Astoria Mar 24, 2020 @ 9:44am 
wont work on macos
Tomato Dec 10, 2019 @ 11:55am 
@tarkos: no, changing both the keyboard layout and language to "aaa" does not make it work
tarkos Dec 9, 2019 @ 12:21am 
it's working but u need to change language in options for ,, aaa" like the creator wrote
fbit Oct 27, 2019 @ 9:18am 
it won't show up on mine
Dimitri Sep 4, 2019 @ 2:32pm 
As others have noted on macOS, in the latest version 1.4, nothing changes when this layout is selected apparently :(
CrowZ Aug 22, 2019 @ 12:11pm 
is this still work??
Dawn Aug 11, 2019 @ 6:54am 
just, get good? isn't that the whole point?
BabyCharmander Jul 21, 2019 @ 4:22pm 
Thank you so much--now I finally got that horrible Advanced Typist achievement!
KC May 26, 2019 @ 4:53pm 
You call that a war face? aaa!!
KIRIS Mar 29, 2019 @ 8:48am 
I switched the keyboard layout, but nothing happened. "ААА" doesn't appear :steamsad:
DDF Mar 27, 2019 @ 8:02am 
Thanks for this awesome DLC. One tip for doing 1,000-character achievement, use a new save without any magical attack, since fire could possibly kill mobs while you're typing, for example
夜半 Mar 16, 2019 @ 2:44am 
Thank you for your creativity. I finally got some achievements of "hell difficulty". :steamhappy:
Tomato Feb 20, 2019 @ 5:55pm 
does not work on linux, switched both keyboard layout and gameplay language to AAAA and Aaa respectively and there is no difference in Arena, just as if I was using American English dictionary
dway Jan 24, 2019 @ 1:55pm 
I'm on Mac too by the way
Akemi Homura Jan 16, 2019 @ 1:16am 
Tried to downlod this to get my 60wpm achievement as I appear to never go over 58 but it doesn't work on Mac :( Even though I set up all the options to AAAA regular English words appear. Please let me know if it'll ever work on Mac as well!
dway Jan 10, 2019 @ 2:16pm 
Thx @Wesoly Foton but that does not work too :'( Anyway, I've finished the game now ;)
