How to unlock the Not so tough achievement in Dead Cells - Definitive Guide

In the normal course of play, you will probably only find one elite every other level or so, so this could take a while. However, if you're able to consistently make deep runs or complete the game, you'll find about 5 elites in the castle level guarding the three keys, and the final boss also spawns elites a couple times during the battle. Doing full game runs is how I unlocked this quickly.

I keep replaying and grinding out the levels to get more orbs so I can purchase more upgrades. But I feel like I'm getting nowhere fast. Any suggestions on what upgrades I should purchase first?

If not mistaken, when you play the game in hard/very hard/hardest, you may also encounter more and more Elite !

Doing this normally would take a while but thankfully there's a somewhat quicker way to do this with an item called Hunter's Grenade. You will need a couple of other things first.

To begin, you need to unlock the Specialist's Showroom, which is done by giving cells (I'm not sure how many) to The Collector, who can be found in the little hub room you go to in between levels.

Once you've unlocked it at the Collector, the next time you're in the Prisoners' Quarters, you should come across a section of the map with a locked door. The door has a switch on your side (it's not a puzzle to open), and a sign stating you're at the Specialists' Showroom. The Hunter's Grenade should be inside behind one of the gold doors once you purchased it.

When you have the Grenade, continue playing as normal and you'll find that some enemies have a small icon above the heads. Bring them down to 40% health or less and throw the Grenade at them to transform the enemy into its Elite variant. Simply kill it, pick the Grenade up and rinse/repeat until you reach 100.

I would say this is the fastest method if you have unlocked the secret shop. I just got my last 10 elites in 5mins in the Prisoners' Quarters.

Same thing to the other guide bellow, i just entered my birthday date for the "seed" on custom mode and this made appear an elite in a upper room just after the first room with weapons. So I farm him to get 100. (The achievement unlocked when I return to "normal" mode)
The seed is: 230290

Sepulcher is the best way to farm elites. always 2 of them and extras are very common.

Not as much as it seems. Guaranteed to drop on your way to Platinum. In addition, on the highest difficulty there are a lot of elites, you will meet about 20 of them per playthrough.

Not necessarily in one playthrough.
