How to unlock the Master of Fasting achievement in DOOM Eternal - Definitive Guide

I waited until I completed the game to do this.

You have to get the Cheat Code Famine Mode first which you can find on Mission 10.

Once you have completed the game, Go back to first mission Hell on Earth on I'm To Young to Die Difficulty. Press X on the mission select to access your cheats codes. Famine Mode is third row down and second across. Make sure it's the only one selected otherwise you won't get the achievement.

You start with all your weapons you have gained throughout the game. You have to complete a few arenas to progress through but you can effectively bypass 80% of the level and just do the bare minimum to complete it.

It's also worth mentioning you can still retrieve ammo from explosive barrels if you've unlocked the Suit upgrade "Explosive Pinatas" where the barrels leave behind ammo when destroyed.

True Dan what you say but I was just using the Chainsaw to net me most of my ammo but the barrels are a nice addition when your waiting for the chainsaw to reload

Also worth noting, I was unable to access mission select while I was in extra life mode, I started in a normal game and was able to access it.

Just to improve on the guide, you should probably say what Famine Mode actually does. Thank you.

I can't select the level and the difficulty in an existing game save. It just keeps it on my current difficulty. Do I need to start a new campaign on the lowest difficulty and then get to the Fortress of Doom before I can do this?

I did this at the same time I went for the 'Complete Hell on Earth in under 11 minutes' milestone. I made a few mistakes, wasted time by searching the map for the path forward and doing some unnecessary Glory kills, and still got through it in around 10min.

Enemies tend to group together when you run past them to locked doors, so anything with splash damage (frags, rockets) or good CC (Freeze Bomb, Turret Chaingun, Super Shotgun) will be very useful.

For those having problems with changing the level or having the cheat code active is because mission select is disabled in extra life mode

So I have to replay the whole game again to chapter 10? or can I possibly switch the mode and get it?

edit: yes it does sadly.....

How do you change the difficulty level on mission select? I’m stuck at the difficulty I chose on the initial save slot

Edit: found it. You need to load the level first. Pause the game. Should be right there at the top. Gameplay. Campaign Difficulty.

I did this on the easiest difficulty and the first level.

A helpful side note here is if you wait till you finish the game and have all the suit upgrades especially in the "environment" category, barrels when exploded will still drop ammo. These will also drop ammo for guns you wouldn't have yet at the game like the plasma rifle. There are a couple barrels in a lot of different areas in the level

Another note here which I feel should be mentioned in the guide is that there is plenty of ammo for the shotguns and rifles that if you only really use those like you did when you first played you'll be plenty fine. Did it on my first run no issues, Good Luck!

I finished the campaign first before attempting this.

Use mission select and activate the famine mode cheat code by pressing X at the mission select menu. Only activate this cheat alone as you will not unlock the Master of Fasting achievement if you activate other cheats besides Famine Mode.

You obtain the Famine cheat code collectible in Mission 10: Nekravol after the fifth encounter of the mission, it is near the second set of dual crusher traps.

You can not do mission select in Extra Life Mode.

The quickest level to do this on is Mission 8: Sentinel Prime on I'm too Young to Die difficulty (or any other difficulty of you choice), where you can pick up 2 extra lives along the way to the only fight of the mission, which is the boss battle against the "Gladiator". Use the Lock-On Mod Rockets and the Arbalest Mod Ballista to make quick work of him.

Should only take you 5 minutes to do.

This doesn't work on the DLC missions sadly. Looks like I'll be playing the campaign again.

If you're like me and you did Extra Life mode first and got all base game achievements done in that run except this one then here is what you do: play through the game on I'm Too Young To Die until you get through Mission 10: Nekravol Part 1. Make sure you pick up a few extra lives on the way and also, don't forget the famine cheat code in Mission 10. Since you cannot go back to the Fortress of Doom (to select a mission) after you begin mission 10, you will need to save and quit and then from the main menu select Campaign, the game slot you were playing in, and mission select. I chose to do Sentinel Prime like JCDRANZER suggested, turned on the Famine Mode cheat, and charged to the gladiator fight. I hit him with rockets, missile barrage, arbalest, and meat hook shotgun combos until he was dead. I died a few times but had like 30 lives to spare. Achievement unlocked when the mission complete screen appeared!

Pretty simple achievement. Famine Mode is a cheat code collected as a secret in the campaign. Enabling this cheat will prevent health, ammo and armour drops from Demons.

I personally waited until after I had completed the campaign to do this. You don't have to but it makes life a little easier, even though this isn't particularly challenging. Simply select the first mission and hit X to enable the cheat (only available if you've collected it in game) . If you're using a save slot on a higher difficulty you can lower it in the pause menu once the mission starts to make things even easier. Doing this with everything you've obtained throughout your save slot makes the achievement pretty trivial. Demons will drop nothing upon death, with the exception of Chainsaw use, and regular ground pick ups are still available. Using grenades, flame belch and blood punch can save on ammo so be sure to use those when they're available. There is also a very useful Praetor Suit upgrade which grants a bit of ammo when using exploding barrels, so if you find yourself getting a little short be sure to destroy every barrel you see. Just progress through the level and the achievement will be yours.

Easy Peasy :)

The cheat codes are spread throughout the game as collectibles and the Famine Mode cheat is no different. It can be acquired on the Nekravol mission. See the description for "Gunpletionist" for a video of all the games collectibles in every level, including all of the cheats.

To use a cheat after you have collected it, you need to go to the Fortress of Doom and then use the console to mission select. From here, press to access the cheats and then choose Famine Mode. I would recommend for the purposes of this achievement to replay the first level with this cheat on as that would make it extremely easy. What this cheat does is stop any Demons you kill dropping any health or armor after they have been killed, so you need to survive with whatever placed pickups are available, though on the first mission on the easiest difficulty, with your end game powered DOOM Slayer, this is not a problem.

I ran through the first mission with only the Famine cheat engaged after I completed the campaign. Relatively easy, using sticky launcher shotgun mod and micro-missiles for assault rifle, picking up ammo laying around the map. The Suit mod to have exploding barrels drop loot and respawn assisted some as well but wasn’t overly necessary.

Complete the level and win

The cheat is in one of the last missions of Nekravol. You can find it HERE . Cheats can only be used in normal game mode. You can't activate cheats in Extra Life because you can't choose to replay missions.
Next, we approach the computer where the portal is activated. There is a screen on the right with a selection of missions. Click. Next, click and select ONLY Cheat "Hunger Mode" and launch the first mission. You will have all the weapons and improvements that you made during the game. Supplies don't drop. Yes. BUT, when using a chainsaw, the cartridges FALL!

The fastest way to complete the Sentinel prime level. (Shield friend in the arena)
A couple of extra lives in your pocket, an easy difficulty level and in 3 minutes a trophy in your pocket.

We play on the first level, there should be no problems with ammunition, if there is a chainsaw as described above and in order to avoid problems at all, the perk that barrels provide ammunition must be installed in the suit (and there are a lot of them at the level)

The cheat code is found in mission 10 called "Nekravol".
This is almost the very end of the game.

The achievement can only be obtained in normal difficulty mode. In the "Extra Life" mode, "Level Selection" does not work, so you cannot get the achievement.

I advise you to play on the easiest difficulty and specifically on the map “Fortress of the Guardians” (mission 8).
The only enemy there is the boss in the coliseum. We run through the entire map in 5 seconds and kill the boss.
