How to unlock the Inflict 5 Burn achievement in Dicey Dungeons - Definitive Guide
Here's a couple of ways you can earn this achievement....
METHOD 1
A good way to get this is by playing THIEF - EPISODE 2: Finders Keepers
The reason for this episode is that you can steal equipment for the whole run using this card:
The problem is, the 5 damage on this card does not count as burn. It applies 2 burn to enemies. So you have to inflict 5 burn rather than do 5 burn damage if that makes sense. What this means it that it's no help to find an enemy weak to fire as they will take more damage, but it will still be the same amount of burn.
If you upgrade this card, it becomes...
Here are some enemies with 5 dice:
* Kraken
* Madison
* Aoife
* Wizard has 1 dice, but also has a +1 dice spell. Theoretically you could play defensively so he can build up his amount of dice, but realistically this is a lot harder than the previous enemies.
------------------------------------------
METHOD 2
Alternatively, you could play a WITCH run and try to find as much burn cards as possible, then simply burn any enemy with 5 or more dice (list above). Here are some good cards to watch out for and the characters that can find them....
Witch Equipment:
* Burning Light [min 4]: Deal [ ] damage. Burn 1 dice
* Catastrophe [7]: Inflict 1 shock, 1 burn, 1 freeze
* Inferno [ ][ ]: Do [ ] damage. Burn 1 dice
* Matchstick [even]: Burn 1 dice (reusable)
* Meteor [20]: Do 20 damage. Burn ALL dice
* Spark [even]: Burn 1 dice
* Wall of Flame [ ][ ] (needs doubles): Deal 6 damage + 1 burn (once per battle)
* (Episode 5 only) Furnace [4]: 4 damage + 1 burn (reusable)
* (Episode 5 only) Ignite [ ][ ]: Inflict 1 burn. Returns both dice
* (Episode 5 only) Lighter [5]: Do 2 damage. Burn 1 dice
* (Episode 5 only) Pitchfork [max 4]: Do [ ] damage, 1 Burn and 1 shock.
* (Episode 5 only) Sunburn [min 4]: Do [ ] damage. (Cost 1 mana: Burn 1 dice)
* (Episode 6 only)(Gadget) Fire Age: [1][1]: Burn all dice
Here are some others. I'm not sure which character can use them, but if they come up, obviously take them.
Flamethrower [ ][ ]: [ ] damage. Burn 2 dice
Staff [8]: Deal 6 damage. Burn 1 dice
Whip [ ]: Do [ ] damage. On 6, Burn 1 dice
Missile Launcher [ ]: Do [ ] damage. Burn 2 dice (Roll any 5 dice to activate)
(Episode 5 only) Molotov Cocktail [ ]: Do [ ] damage. On 4, Burn 1 dice
------------------------------------------
METHOD 3
Similar to Method 1. Play as THIEF - EPISODE 2: Finders Keepers then as you fight characters, check their inventory and if they have a burn card, steal it from them. Save them in your backpack until you face one of the enemies with 5 dice (listed above) and use it on them.
These are not the only ways you can get this achievement. The game is far too random to list all the ways, but I hope this at least gave you some ideas of what to watch out for.
Good Luck!
METHOD 1
A good way to get this is by playing THIEF - EPISODE 2: Finders Keepers
The reason for this episode is that you can steal equipment for the whole run using this card:
Finders Keepers [12]: After the battle, keep one piece of equipment
On the second floor, there is often a character called Wizard. If he isn't there, just restart until he is. He has this card available to steal:Flame Spell [2]: Deal 5 damage, Burn 2 dice.
To steal an item for that run, you must put 12 into the Finders Keepers equipment BEFORE beating the enemy. The steal page should look like this.The problem is, the 5 damage on this card does not count as burn. It applies 2 burn to enemies. So you have to inflict 5 burn rather than do 5 burn damage if that makes sense. What this means it that it's no help to find an enemy weak to fire as they will take more damage, but it will still be the same amount of burn.
If you upgrade this card, it becomes...
Flame Spell [2]: Deal 6 damage, Burn ALL dice.
Now all you need to do is find an enemy with 5 or more dice, and use this card on them.Here are some enemies with 5 dice:
* Kraken
* Madison
* Aoife
* Wizard has 1 dice, but also has a +1 dice spell. Theoretically you could play defensively so he can build up his amount of dice, but realistically this is a lot harder than the previous enemies.

I just got this against an enemy with less than 5 dice. Using the first method, I was on Episode 2 of Thief, Finders Keepers. Used my Hook to use Fire Spell+ twice. So I gave the enemy 6 burn even though they only had 3 dice. Might be a quicker solution for those struggling to find enemies with 5 dice.

Got this without specifically going for it on a thief run. The final boss was Satach and one of the cards I stole from the boss was the one where you need a 5 and it'll do 11 damage and burn 5 dice. Guess that's pretty RNG lucky though.

Hello!
I did this achivement with the invetor and here is how:
I found the flamethrower+ ability in which you put 4 dieces inside and it burns for each dice
Also, before using the famethrower, I used the fury ability which doubles your action ( The inventor after each battle, discards one ability and makes a new invention to use for the next fight and for the fury you need to discard the crystal sword) .
So use the "fury" ability and then use the flamethrower and you will apply 8 burn in total.
Here is the vid:

Perfect! I got it first try on floor 5. Takes a bit of setup, but not too hard. I was able to buy the crystal sword (put it in backpack), then waited for an upgrade to the flamethrower. Then used crystal sword until I could trade for the fury gadget.
