How to unlock the DOA5 Is My Life achievement in Dead or Alive 5 - Definitive Guide
First, create a lobby and set the time limit to 30, the life bar to smallest. Rounds to 1, and most important: LOSER STAYS.
Why loser stays? It's because the challenger gets to pick the map. And that makes it easier when one player is AFK.
Always pick the map Dojo, it has the shortest loading time.
When none of the players is AFK this is what you do, given that you started your lobby with the setting listed above. One of you attacks the other with something like p,p,p, so you make sure you do not knock the other player down. It saves time! When someone has to stand up all the time you're losing seconds. You can easily finish rounds like this in < 8 seconds. Add some time for the loading the map, picking costume etc and you're looking at ~40-45 seconds a match.
When one player is AFK it only adds 20 seconds per match so you're looking at ~60-65 seconds per match. This is because of the loser stays mode. The player who isn't AFK can select the map so you won't have to wait the 20 seconds at map selection.
When BOTH players are AFK you can just let the time run out (30 seconds). First match will be a draw, second match the defender will win. So this will take you 30*2 + 20 + 20 + loading = around 2 minutes per match.
All in all this won't take you too much time. It's just pretty boring.
Just a side note; it doesn't matter if your controller disconnects while being AFK, the game will still run.
I really hate these type of achievements and think they should do away with them
For this trophy you must play out 1000 online matches, as simple as this sounds this is quite the grind so of course there must be an easier way to doing this. Universally trophies such as these are dealt with with the aid of Turbo controllers however if you lack one you are in for quite the grind.
Grinding Method
Using whatever character you want, a strong character such as Eliot, Gen Fu or Rig will do against a boosting partner using whomever he wants. Set the lobby settings to the following:
- Health: Smallest
- Rounds to Win: 1
- Timer: 30 Seconds
From here just let one person do all the work of press repeatedly, this will be a long boring grind .
Turbo Controller Boosting
If you have a Madcatz Fightpad, Fightstick or any other third party brand controller with a turbo feature you can easily boost this with someone in the Trophy Boosting Thread. Before starting the session go into your options and make sure is set to that way in the matches played online your character will be set to repeatedly and have the opposing playing do the same but have set for his. Create a Private Lobby with the settings from the section above and leave the game on, the game will repeatedly press your inputs and start your matches while you do whatever else you want.
