Miscellaneous[]

Achievement Description
Achievement 8Ball8Ball Kill 8 enemies with a single bomb.

With minimal luck, this is perhaps easiest to do against one of King Conga's Conga lines, by getting the entire line to wrap around the player.

Achievement bat trickBat Trick Kill three green bats.

Seeded modes do not count, but Daily Challenges do count.

Achievement Friendly FireFriendly Fire Use a red dragon's fireball to kill another miniboss.

Two minibosses can be in the same room at once during most story boss battles, in an arena or against the Shriner, by taking a trapdoor early to force a miniboss down a floor, or Amplified dlc using the Boss Shrine, in Hard Mode, or by playing as Tempo.

With minimal progress and luck requirements, this can be done by resetting Zone 1-2 for a Minotaur, then taking a trapdoor. The 1-3 miniboss will always be a Red Dragon in this case, and the player can proceed to attempt to line them up.

Achievement heart throbHeartthrob Have 10 heart containers at the same time.
Achievement merchanticideMerchanticide Kill the shopkeeper.

As of version 1.05, the Codex level 'How to get away with murder' no longer counts.

Achievement Mostly HarmlessMostly Harmless Get killed by a Green Slime.

This can be done by using a Scroll of Fear and Dove's confusion attack simultaneously, or using a Scroll of Fear and having a co-op partner take the attack. The green slime's attack is a one-hit kill, so there is no need to weaken yourself first.

Scroll of Fear obtainment strategies:

  • There is a ~3.1% chance[1] that the 1-1 shop will contain either a Scroll of Fear or a Scroll of Need if the player is Dove. The Scroll of Need can have a fear effect if the player is Dove.
  • If the player has never purchased the Fear/Need Scroll from Merlin in the Lobby, then purchasing it guarantees that it will show up in the next Single Zones run only once.
  • From rough empirical testing, the Scroll of Need is sold by the Diamond Dealer ~1.9% of the time,[2] and the player can repeatedly purchase the rightmost item until the Scroll of Need appears. This takes around 128-240 diamonds, or ~5-10 full runthroughs of Single Zone 4.
  • If the player spends up to 88 diamonds clearing out everything from the Lobby's Janitor except for the Fear/Need Scrolls, then the Scroll of Need is sold by the Diamond Dealer roughly 6.5% of the time.[3] This takes around 41-96 diamonds, or ~2-4 full runthroughs of Single Zone 4 (129-184 diamonds or ~6-8 full runthroughs before using the Janitor).
  • It is not recommended to only use the Janitor without the Diamond Dealer, as then the player will have to repeatedly find and open purple chests (which cannot be quickly reset for, unlike shops). Purple chests are not guaranteed to contain a Fear/Need Scroll even after using the Janitor.

Amplified dlc Have a co-op partner select Eli, position both players on either side of the Green Slime, and have Eli push the slime into the other player.

ElectrickElecTrick Amplified dlc Kill 8 enemies at once with electricity.

With minimal luck, this can be done on Zone 5-1 by lining up three White Skulls.

  1. slightly less than 40/1291
  2. 10/528 ([1])
  3. 10/155 ([2])
