!!FIXED!!

According to Brayarg in the comments, Dead Mage pushed a patch out February 24th that fixes this achievement. Brayarg confirms doing the original requirements and the achievement popped first try.

If you CANNOT pop the achievement using the actual requirements, let me know in the comments. Until then, I am assuming this achievement is fixed.

Here is the guide:

LaughinGuo in the comments suggested the boss of 2-3: Ruins of Old Barahut

I went ahead and did a quick run. This is definitely the easiest.

The boss reminds me of Whispy Woods from Kirby. This treant has one action where it plants itself into the floor and sprouts curved roots. To damage the boss one must kill the roots while dodging easily telegraphed wood spikes coming up from the earth.

All characters are possible I simply tried Linda since I originally got this achievement with Linda. Would definitely recommend a fully leveled Kevin or Lucy. They have massive DPS outputs.

Thanks LaughinGuo

My first solution:

Same boss, but I used Lucy who has an ability that gives her shields that negate hits. Means that even though the boss hit me in the fight, I took no damage. (The achievement popping surprised me, cause I know I got hit)

By Flabyo on 21 Jan 2020 10:06

Ooh nice to know! I would think that would work but I've also seen games where getting hit, even at no damage, voids this type of achievement.

Added it, chief!

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 21 Jan 2020 13:44

2-3boss easiest

By LaughinGuo on 01 Feb 2020 05:26

You are correct! The boss of 2-3 Ruins of Old Barahut is the easiest

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 01 Feb 2020 06:49

Anyone else having an issue with this unlocking? I have defeated the 2-3 boss multiple times with multiple characters as well as the Spider king again multiple times with both kevin and Lucy sometimes within 20 secs. Im 100% sure Im not taking damage. Even made a point to go through the entire level without taking any damage.

By CL0KW0RK on 08 Feb 2020 07:55

If you're on xbox one, sometimes achievements pop without notifications. If you're playing on Win10, the achievement tracking can be cheeky and do occasionally pop without notification.

Great question! First I've heard of this being buggy but the game did update a day ago.

Perhaps this update broke this this achievement.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 08 Feb 2020 13:13

I thought at first it was the xbox thing as well, but after defeating the spider king about 10 or so more times it unlocked right when I beat him, so I assume its a bit buggy but just keep at it I suppose.

By CL0KW0RK on 09 Feb 2020 05:16

Great! Happy it worked out. I'll be sure to include a bug warning. Thanks for the dedication

Perhaps it counts having some character fatigued health as damage? No clue.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 09 Feb 2020 13:08

Buggy... can't unlock this one

By Everpeace6255 on 09 Feb 2020 15:59

Yes Everpeace, CL0KW0RK said something similar. Im updating the solution later today.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 09 Feb 2020 16:01

In case it's helpful, this unlocked for me the first time I concentrated on not taking any damage in the whole dungeon (used Lucy with the 3 shields in 1-1).

By smmhsmblmjmm on 09 Feb 2020 17:12

Thanks smmhsm! I'll add that too

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 09 Feb 2020 17:13

Doesn't unlock for me on the spider king using Lucy. I make sure not to be hit in both level before reaching the boss... will now try with another character. I hate buggy achievement.

By Amkage on 09 Feb 2020 19:04

Still doesn't want to unlocked using Linda on the spider king... frustrating.

By Amkage on 09 Feb 2020 19:11

Thanks Amkage! Sorry this achievement is also buggy for you. I reckon the newest update bollocked the unlock. There might an accidental difficulty component since they added Hard mode but I would probably go for other achievements or wait.

Great game that hopefully gets fixed.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 09 Feb 2020 19:14

Sure Allslayer! So for clarification: You went for the achievement, didn't get it; closed the game, relaunched, and re-completed the requirements?

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 09 Feb 2020 19:30

Yeah.

By The Allslayer on 09 Feb 2020 19:57

Perfect, thanks!

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 09 Feb 2020 19:59

Still doesn't want to unlocked using Linda on the spider king... frustrating.

By Amkage on 09 Feb 2020 21:04

What a bummer Kriegir! Hopefully Dead Mage resolves it soon

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 09 Feb 2020 21:40

Lol go figure after trying and trying rebooting multiple times. Like always after bitching about it here it popped next try. I guess just keep trying guys

By kriegir on 09 Feb 2020 21:49

Sure! So it pops, sometimes.

Noted! Grossly inconsistent unlock requirements.

Thanks for the info, Kriegir!

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 09 Feb 2020 21:51

Smmhsmblmjmm's solution works! complete a dungeon without taking damage.

By Everpeace6255 on 10 Feb 2020 13:42

Okay perfect! So complete the whole dungeon without taking any damage

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 10 Feb 2020 13:59

I ran through a whole run with zero damage and also got the achievement

By Pandriarch on 10 Feb 2020 21:17

Achievement is a definitely still bugged. Did 1-3 with Lucy and 2-3 with Linda taking zero hits on both and the achievement did not unlock. Both runs were done on Hard difficulty.

By VaultDweller01 on 12 Feb 2020 01:10

So maybe hard is messing it up! Hard didnt launch with the game. Try normal

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 12 Feb 2020 01:26

Did 1-1, 1-3, 2-3 without taking any damage in the whole dungeon in normal mode and no achievement... I hope a new update soon !

By Malboa77 on 12 Feb 2020 18:31

Unfortunate!

Yeah it's just full stopped bugged

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 12 Feb 2020 18:32

I just deleted the game and reinstalled it, first spider queen and no damage in the dungeon with Lucy and 3 shields, the achievement popped !

By Malboa77 on 13 Feb 2020 15:10

Mental! Definitely inconsistent. I appreciate your tenacity.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 13 Feb 2020 15:13

I ran the first dungeon without taking damage including both floors and the boss. Yet the stats recap at the end mentioned that I healed for 16. I redid the whole dungeon, and I paid more attention so I didn't even lose a single shield. Yet the game said I healed for 14 and still no achievement. Both runs were super short (6 minutes) so I'm 100% sure that I didn't space out and missed something.

By Fuuldrin on 13 Feb 2020 18:46

100% Fuuldrin! This achievement is just bugged.

Dead Mage and 11-bit have confirmed it's bugged. Others here have been able to unlock it with diligence but I'd recommend waiting for the fix.

A great game I'd hate to be soiled by broken unlocks.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 13 Feb 2020 18:48

Hi all,

I encountered this glitch as well, completed it 8-10 times with no joy.

John's last family trait (level 20) is auto-regen for the family. I noticed the heal icon above my head symbol every time I started a world. I reset his skill points to turn this off and on the first try afterwards I got the achievement. Worth a try if everyone else is struggling.

By Arkzein on 15 Feb 2020 10:16

Thanks Arkzein! I can see that being a problem for this achievement. Others have mentioned how they would have healed damage even though they never got hit.

I will add this to the solution!

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 15 Feb 2020 14:12

I completed the requirements with no one at even level 10 with no luck. I did the first dungeon twice with Lucy not getting hit and it's completely bugged.

By Ostrowidzki1989 on 15 Feb 2020 17:40

Thanks Ostro! Yeah it's just bugged. Dead Mage has confirmed they're working on a fix.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 15 Feb 2020 17:42

Unfortunately I was not as lucky as others. Reset Jon's abilities to remove any health gain and ran through all of 1-1 multiple times with multiple characters, with 0 damage/contact but no achievement.

By Snotrocket07 on 19 Feb 2020 02:07

Unfortunate, Snot!

Yeah it's definitely bugged. Some recommend to keep running it, it'll pop eventually.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 19 Feb 2020 02:09

I just unlocked it, after beating it multiple times and not unlocking I found on the reddit that uninstalling and reinstalling fixes it. I did that, ran through 1-1 with Lucy and best boss unlocking achievement instantly

By crazyeyesbtb on 19 Feb 2020 02:27

Wild, crazyeyesbtb

I'll add it to the solution. Shame it's super buggy. Thanks for your input

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 19 Feb 2020 02:28

Seconding what crazyeyes said, I reinstalled it on Xbox and it unlocked first time. Thanks for the guide and tips!

By KingOfAttolia on 19 Feb 2020 14:07

Thanks King!

I'll add an update today.

I appreciate your thanks! Thanks for your input

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 19 Feb 2020 14:16

Wack, Adayin!

Thanks for the data!! I'll add it in. Glad you got this achievement

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 21 Feb 2020 05:25

I have tried all the solutions provided multiple times but this achievement will not unlock no matter what.

By C Pav on 21 Feb 2020 15:01

Yeah C Pav, this achievement is just busted! There is confirmation from the devs that this will be fixed at a later date so I would move on to another game until then.

Some people have been able to pop it through various workarounds so I am updating to not simply write it off as busted.

Thanks for your input! Once this gets sorted out on the dev's side I will update the guide accordingly

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 21 Feb 2020 15:02

Uninstall/reinstall worked for me

By FlopsyTheRabbit on 22 Feb 2020 10:36

Unistalled and install it back, i also reset John's skills and didnt upgrade any of his skills. Picked lucy and did 1-1 without take dmg at all.

By JohnnyKoi on 22 Feb 2020 12:49

Perfect, Flopsy and Johnny! Thanks for the input

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 22 Feb 2020 14:27

I tried several times all the suggestions above but it only unlocked for me once I played the game on PC. First run through with Lucy on the first dungeon and achievement unlocked.

By x BIG DOM x on 23 Feb 2020 08:38

Sure Big Dom! Thanks for that input

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 23 Feb 2020 14:21

Just want to add some more info on this achievement:

Nothing mentioned above worked for us when playing coop. Resetting John, reinstalling the game, finishing the entire dungeon without getting hit - nothing.
After that I did a solo run with Lucy and got the achievement. Played with fatigue and lost one of my orbs, so this doesn't void the achievement.

By RobCoPKC on 23 Feb 2020 20:33

That's wack, RobCo! Thanks for the input. Yeah the achievement is truly just broken. The above solutions appear to work most often than not but it truly is just busted.

Thanks for your dedication. I should add a disclaimer in the solution.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 23 Feb 2020 20:42

Respec'd John, uninstalled/reinstalled the game, and ran through 1-1 w/Lucy. Achievement popped upon defeating the spider boss.

By StumblesMcGee on 23 Feb 2020 20:45

Thanks Stumbles! Wild achievement. Glad it worked out for you

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 23 Feb 2020 20:47

Confirmed: my John was NOT at level 20, and it still didn't unlock when I beat with Lucy. John was not the issue.

Uninstalled, reinstalled, tried again with Lucy, achievement popped on first try with boss.

By Like A Bob Ross on 23 Feb 2020 21:02

Thanks Bob Ross! Glad you've got your happy little achievement.

Yeah uninstalling and reinstalling works most often than not. At times it feels like RNG though.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 23 Feb 2020 21:04

Just got it myself. First time I reinstalled the game I took damage before the boss and when I did eventually do the whole dungeon without taking damage achieve didn’t pop. Had to reinstall a second time, do the entire dungeon without taking damage and it popped.

By Walter H White2 on 23 Feb 2020 23:20

Bizarre, Walter! Glad it worked out either way. Just super buggy

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 24 Feb 2020 01:47

Morning, there was a patch yesterday. Jusy as am fyi.
I went through 1.1
Without being hit at all
I didnt reinstall
I didnt reset any character skills
The achievement poped first time.

So a fix now looks in place

By brayarg on 25 Feb 2020 09:26

Excellent Brayarg! I'll write it in

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 25 Feb 2020 12:15

So can you replay the earlier dungeons to get this??

By Bootybandit1#751 on 09 May 2020 18:34

Absolutely! You can replay any dungeon of choice.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 09 May 2020 21:33

Nice! Thanks!

By Bootybandit1#751 on 10 May 2020 09:53

With the 2-3 boss, for those who weren't able to get it to pop with Lucy, did you do it without using her decoy, and without the boss using the pull attack on you? It's clearly just buggy, but I'm wondering if there's also a coding problem where the decoy taking damage voids the achievement, and/or if the pull attack the boss does voids the achievement even though it does no damage.

By thanatos8285 on 24 Aug 2021 16:22

Yoo it's been such a long time, I don't remember lol.

I probably used the decoy but I might've just ran around in a circle. I can't recall, sorry!

If you find out via experimentation, let me know and I'll add it to the solution

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 24 Aug 2021 17:02

Absolutely Arkzein!

I did the full 1000 on PC before the update so I truly can't speak to the glitch.

Thanks for your input!

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 19 Feb 2020 13:46

I managed to get it with Linda on the spider after closing the game and relaunching. Don't know if that helped or if it was just a coincidence? Just glad it's done that was annoying.

By The Allslayer on 09 Feb 2020 19:28

Excellent Pandriarch, thanks so much! Which character did you play?

I'm now wondering if taking hits as Lucy counts against the player even though the hit is zero damage if her shield is up.

By Nukes A Lot 2 on 10 Feb 2020 21:22

Thinking about it I had switched from Xbox to PC when it unlocked for me as well, so not a reinstall but similar. (Though I attempted a couple of runs with no luck on PC before resetting John and Unlocking it). May be another variable, it forces a gamesave sync when you switch between platforms, might reset the flag of whether it's unlocked or not? Frustrating when there's no clear reason or solution. I also avoided even stepping on health pots or picking up any charms / graces etc. just in case. Jut a straight run to the boss.

By Arkzein on 19 Feb 2020 05:51

I can confirm crazyeyesbtb as well. I did the same thing: uninstalled and reinstalled, played 1-1 with Lucy and got the achievement immediately.

Of note: I didn't realize it when I started, but Lucy had pretty bad corruption fatigue. Despite the ~20% health penalty, I still got the achievement for not taking any damage during the playthrough.

By Adayin on 21 Feb 2020 05:21

Didn’t end up figuring it out. I was able to get it in the post-game, near maxed out workshop (only 1 health upgrade left) and maxed out Book of Rea. I used Linda with lvl 3 inner rhythm and deft hands. Went into Guardian’s Rage against the 1-2 boss in coop, and destroyed him in a few seconds. My coop partner said she was pretty sure she did take a hit (but not absolutely certain), but I still got the achievement, so for anyone struggling who has a coop partner available, that’s one thing to try - have one person take the hits and damage, and the other stay back with Linda or Lucy and wipe him out. I could be wrong though, she might have just not taken a hit, and maybe either character getting hit voids it. Hard to say.

Um dos melhores lugares pra mim é o primeiro chefe, a Aranha. Vc pode fazer com qualquer personagem, é só desviar dela e bater, porém tem uma hora que ela chama outras aranhas, e é onde você pode tomar dano.

Então eu recomendo utilizar as personagens Linda ou Lucy, pois atacam a distancia em qualquer direção, e Lucy tem uma habilidade que cria um escudo que absorve o dano caso vc seja atingido eventualmente, se você já estiver com habilidades, amuletos e runas será bem mais fácil.

Uma dica, quando a aranha desce, e depois sobe pra te atacar, nesse momento que ela desce, você pode atirar nela a distância, ganhando tempo e causando dano, é possível matá-la antes mesmo dela chamar as outras aranhas.

Again, the poor Spider King will be your punching bag for this. Linda is probably the easiest to get this with once she is Level 20. Enter the fight with a full rage bar, and use it immediately. You will be able to hit the spider with a bunch of shots and possibly kill it before it even attacks. If it retreats into the ceiling, you know what will come next by now - it slams down. Dodge once and continue to attack and that should end it.

The boss from the second chapter is ideal - the third level.
A walking tree that lands in the ground and can be safely attacked after you get rid of the harmless sprouts from the ground.

Patch 1.02 clearly has problems, just a countless number of unsuccessful playthroughs (not receiving damage not only from the boss, but also in the dungeon in general). I remembered that it once helped with a similar problem in another game, banal switching the console to English, I decided to try it. ...as a result, the trophy dropped immediately after defeating the boss of the very first dungeon)

By Justrokman on 20 Feb 2020 00:33

When you have fully pumped everything up, then take Kevin and go to the spider, having previously accumulated rage. A session of rage, a couple of seconds of monstrous crits on the boss and the trophy is yours.

By iamhappyguy on 10 Jan 2020 10:33

But I would recommend Lily. A small pyromancer. When upgrading the shield, it blocks 3 hits, and it does more damage. Even if you accidentally get 1-2 hits in those couple of seconds before the boss dies, you still won’t fail the achievement.

By Neuren on 15 Jan 2020 21:39

After the update the trophy is bugged.

By maksts on 09 Feb 2020 05:24

The description is incorrect.
I followed Lucy at the very first location. At first I killed him a couple of times without taking damage, but without bothering with going through the cave itself, the trophy didn’t drop. The third time I passed the cave without any damage, they gave me a trophy.

I completed the dungeon without damage, killed the boss without damage, with different characters, as soon as I changed the language in the console system to English, I got the trophy the first time
