How to unlock the Shake Down achievement in Cult of the Lamb - Definitive Guide

Ok so it got fixed in the new update.

If you are just searching for him, the update added new options in the
accessibility tab, including one to freeze time on crusades, so this helps.

He only shows up randomly on combat rooms. The first encounter is scripted so there is no way of missing it.

You need to encounter him first at darkwood forest, after stealing your coins, he will be gone. After that you need to encounter him in Anchordeep, he will steal your coins again. And finally you can find him in Silk Cradle, where you can beat him up. (and get almost nothing back, like 2/8 of your stolen money)

is there something else you need to do to trigger his spawn like having X amount of gold or something?

I was going to say the same thing @Shakaso

I have encountered Midas the first time in Darkwood just fine, but since then I have lost count of how many times have gone through Anchordeep and have not come across him or had him spawn :/

If I remember, the first encounter was in a combat room, but it was scripted to happen so idk, I probably have the bug since I went through Anchordeep so many times now, and never found him, so I can't really tell

Same. On the bright side, it's not only on xbox... actually i don't think that's... well, at least that makes them work on a fix for this faster.

I did it the way
it was mentioned and found very easily first in darkwood forest, then in Anchordeep. In Silk Cradle I had to search a few times in battle rooms and ?, but without success. In the run where I found it was in the room before the boss fight

Have the devs confirmed a patch is on the way? Or should we be submitting tickets to get this moving?

Of course not. That old glitch were you couldn't get snail shells got patched on pc but it took ages to be released on console. So... at least wait a month...

I found him in Dark Forest, but was pretty busy with the other quests from the Title Update.

Im not certain if I ran into him in AnchorDeep already or if my game is glitched. Is there anyway to check your progress on this quest?

I can confirm as well. I turned on my xbox this evening and saw that the game was updating. After the update booted up the game and Midas was in Anchordeep as well as the fisherman, plimbo, and the two cats from the other achievement. Then went into Silk Cradle and found him, beat him and the achievement pop.

In version 1.15 on PS4, I couldn't find him in any area after several hours. Version 1.16 - found him first time in Anchordeep and then Silk Cradle. The Slayer of Souls (Purgatory row) and Transmute (all Fleeces) trophies also became obtainable for me after meeting the requirements again. Hopefully it's the same on Xbox now!

Just now updated the game, and I ran into Midas early on in my second combat room in Anchordeep. Looks like they've most likely addressed the issue, so time for revenge 😈

Also can confirm. He popped up immediately in both areas, took me like 10 minutes to get. They fixed some other bugs with other characters not showing up, the tutorial for shielded enemies, and problems with some relics.

Does anyone know or remember when Midas shows up, as in, is it on a "?" room, or in a combat room, or is it random etc???

Well clearly hasn't been fixed on xbox, as after having encountered Midas the first time in Darkwood, I have run both Anura and Anchordeep MANY times and not had another encounter with either Midas or the Axilotl npc.

Very frustrating

This achievement is practically story related with this DLC. When going back through Darkwood, the first area, you will unavoidably come to a room where you'll meet Midas. He will steal a huge amount of your Gold and then disappear. Later, when you access Anchordeep, the third area, and work your way through it, you will once again unavoidably come to a room with Midas, and he will again still most of your Gold. Finally, once you work your way through Silk Cradle, the final area, you'll find Midas for the third and final time. Once you find him, you now need to attack him over and over. He'll drop Gold (although it's a pathetic amount compared to how much he likely stole from you) for a while, so you'll need to hit him probably around ten times. Once he stops dropping gold and looks all beat up, this achievement will unlock. It actually had around a ten second delay for me, so just be aware of that.

PS4 version of the game, there is a bug with the appearance of Midas. Midas first appears in the Chalice location, then in the Swamp, then in the Silk Cradle. In the first location he appears without problems, in others he may not appear at all. My case was exactly like this. I had to start the update all over again, so upload the save to a flash drive or cloud before starting the update.
