How to unlock the 40 damage in a one attack achievement in Dicey Dungeons - Definitive Guide

There's a couple of ways to do this (Put in order of difficulty to earn IMO)

METHOD 1

Play Warrior and look for these cards....

Iron Shield [ ]: Adds [ ] shield.
Straightforward. This just adds to your shield to the value of the dice. I recommend 2 of these.

Shield Bash+ [even]: Bash with shield, do Shield [ ] damage.
If you put an even dice into this, it will hit for the value of your shield.

The idea is simple once set up. Build up shields until it's over 40 and then use Shield Bash+ for your achievement. I think the enemy must have 40+ hp to try this. I don't think doing 50 damage on a 24hp enemy works, but if it does work for you, please post below.

------------------------------------------

METHOD 2

There is equipment called Flamethrower.

Flamethrower [ ] [ ]: [ ] dmg + 2 burn (once per battle)
You can put 2 dice into it to burn an enemy. If upgraded, you can put 4 dice into it.

If you play as the Inventor, her Focus ability turns all her dice into 6s. This is 24 damage total.

If you fight against an enemy weak to fire, it will do 48 damage.

Enemies that are weak to fire:

* Wicker Man
* Yeti
* Snowman
* Rose

------------------------------------------

METHOD 3

Rotten Core [16]: Reduce health by half
If they have 81 or more health when you use it, it will pop the achievement. If you upgrade the Rotten Core, it takes only 12 dice to activate.

To get it, play THIEF - EPISODE 2

This level, you can steal equipment from enemies. The enemy that has this is called Rotten Apple. It looks like the normal apples that give you HP, but they are an enemy instead. They are a level 4 enemy which means they will only spawn on floor 4 or 5 (and not guaranteed).

There's only 1 enemy that I know of that has more than 81hp. It's name is Cornelius with 100hp. It is a Level 5 enemy which means it can only spawn on Floor 5. This obviously takes a lot of RNG (like many of the achievements), but it is how I got it, so I'm putting it here. Here is what it looks like just before activation.

------------------------------------------

METHOD 4

Flame Blast+ [4] Do 7 fire damage for each burning enemy dice

If you find this card, then I suggest picking up other cards than can burn opponents dice (like spark). If you can burn 3 dice, you will do 21 damage (need 4 dice for 24 damage if Flame Blast is not upgraded).

Then do it against an enemy weak to fire so they take double damage... here's the ones I know of...

* Wicker Man
* Yeti
* Snowman
* Rose

------------------------------------------

I have heard it's also possible by stacking a LOT of poison against a weak to poison enemy, but you would have to do it all in one turn or it'll die before you get enough.

Good Luck!

Just putting this in case it helps anyone - I got mine in the Warrior's parallel universe, with an item that let me put 2x[dice] shield on combined with another item that allowed me to do 2x[shield] damage. I activated my fury, 2x6 shield twice gave me 24 shield, which then became 48 damage when using the other item. Sorry for the lack of names, but they seemed like fairly standard equipment and I didn't need to upgrade them to my knowledge either, so it's another possibility!

I just got this during Theif episode 5(the parallel universe one). As thief I had access to Cornelius' 999 damage attack and from the start just added all my dice to it. I got it 1st try, but could end up being very rng and luck based as I hit him with it when his countdown had gotten to 7, but just wanted throw out another method that I just did just while playing the levels normally.

I just got this with the witch by using meteor (20 fire damage) against the snowman. I think it was episode 4 but I'm not positive

quittime3's solution took me 1 try so seems pretty reliable. The names of the items are "Copper Shield", which can be found in a shop, and "Battering Ram", which is a level up item when you reach level 5.

Just adding a new way which is how I just got the achievement. With warrior, I had upgraded crystal sword and cookie that allows you to repeat your next action. Get enough for the cookie at the same time as you have limit break. Use both with crystal sword and with a 5 you'll do 3x5 (15) damage three times in a row which did the trick

Method 2 did it for me. You're guaranteed a flamethrower on levelling up in episode one of inventor and you can usually upgrade it at the next shop. Just keep flamethrower in backpack until you find and enemy weak to fire. I got wicker man on level 5

A good way I've found to do this is to play as the Inventor's first episode and get a Flamethrower, then upgrade it at an anvil. This will allow you to put in 4 dice where you do their combined damage.

You will first need to find an enemy weak to fire. A snowman or wickerman should do nicely. Her special cn_RB ability is Focus which makes all of your dice 6. Fill up the Flamethrower+ with all 6s and it should hit for 40+

(I believe it does 24x2, cuz of the weakness, for 48)

Hi! I checked! Is not necessary that the enemy have 40 or more of life. Only is neccesary do 40 of damage. If the enemy have 39 or less of life, is possible to get the challengue.

While there may be multiple ways to get a huge enough synergy built up to do this much damage, by far the least RNG way is to utilize an upgraded Flamethrower with the Inventor. Playing as the Inventor, you will be given the Flamethrower as an option when leveling up. Make sure to choose it. Progress through the run but keep the Flamethrower in your backpack (do NOT equip it, because you don't want to have to sacrifice it after a fight). As soon as you reach an upgrade point, upgrade your Flamethrower so it can take four dice instead of two. Now you're set, and all that's left is a bit of RNG. On Floor 4 or Floor 5, you're looking for an enemy that is weak to fire. This could be Yeti, Snowman, or Wickerman. I'm not sure if there are others. Make sure to obviously equip the Flamethrower before that fight. During the fight, use your Focus to roll all 6s, then use four 6s on your upgraded Flamethrower. This will do 24 damage, but will double for enemies weak to fire, doing 48 damage and unlocking this achievement.

As a side note, it's completely fine if the enemy has less than 40 HP. All that matters is that your attack does over 40 damage.

Here's a clip of me using this method:
