How to unlock the Solid Gold achievement in Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale - Definitive Guide
Note that this has to be on one character and at once. You need to have 100k+ in gold on your person and the achievement will pop instantly.
Getting the last bit can be a bit boring, but there are several ways. Some prefer to grind the endgame sequence, but I found the droprate to time spent a bit on the slow side. Try saving your game after you have completed it, then load up a new chapter. Pick Mouth of the Void as you start in The Depths after finishing the story.
From here, turn around and open the chest to your left, then follow the map around in circular path clockwise back to the portal where you can engage the end sequence again. Along the way are several chests with loot, and several Ghouls with a good droprate. Once you hit the last Merchant before the portal, sell your stuff, save, and load up the same chapter again. You'll be teleported back to the beginning and can do the round as many times as you need. Each round will net you 3-5k gold and take about 10 minutes.
More tips:
- Higher level enemies drop better loot and more coin, and barrels drop more coin and better loot in chapter 4 than chapter 3.
- If you have some nice purple items you wish to keep, check their value. They are often worth 1-2k. If you lack only 10k gold, check to see if you can sell all your purple gear to reach 100k, then just load your game after the achievement pops.
- Charisma will affect merchants prices. The more you have, the more gold you get when selling items.
- With a good regeneration ring/amulet, all those healing potions can be sold.
The easiest way to do this is to have a friend with the game (online only offline co-op does not work) and play for a bit until you get an item or 2 that sells for about 1000 or more gold (any less and it takes a bit to long).
Now once you have that item save the game in the start menu. That being said you are going to duplicate this item and the way to do that is the person who is not the host of the game is the one who has to have the item in there inventory at the point of the save, drop the item ( inventory screen press x) after the save icon goes away, leave the game (without saving after dropping the item) come back and there you have it the item is now on the floor and in your inventory, pick up the item so now you have 2 of them, save then drop afterward.(Edit: after you drop the item let the host pick it up. It has come to my attention that if left to long on the floor it disappears)
Rinse
Wash
Repeat
Until you have basically a full inventory's worth.
Now Let your friend pick up the full inventory's worth and you leave with out saving, they sell you come back (might have to do this a few times).
After they get the achievement come back once more and give them all of the items then they and everyone leave the game so now you have your items still and he has his. then you host a game and he joins and repeat the above pattern until you receive the desired results.
you can even give it to a mule character later so you can always have a constant amount of those weapons that you can sell so you can either help out another friend in need to fund your other characters in the hopes of getting the
Here's what I did:
1) Never spend gold. The merchant weapons are only ever *barely* better than drops you get in the game (like they'll do 8-12 damage instead of the 7-11 one you found in a chest). If you never waste your money and open all chests you run past and pick up all loot, your character should have about 50k when you hit level 10.
2) Equip everything you find that gives you better stats. Sell everything else. Keep only your equipped gear and healing potions.
3) Complete every character to level 10.
4) Spend all gold from 3 of your characters on expensive gear.
5) Create a "mule" characer on a second controller. Use it to transfer the expensive gear to the character where you're saving up gold.
6) Sell the expensive gear and you should be at 100k. If you're stuck at 80-90k after doing this, just go to the final boss fight and spend 15 minutes killing mobs and picking up the plentiful loot. You pretty much always warp out of that place with a sack full of expensive gear.
No offense to the other solution posters, but the only time you need to pull off tricks and cheats is if you *ONLY* want this achievement and have absolutely no plans to get the full 200. If you're going for the 200, don't waste your time pulling off fancy tricks. You will get this naturally by just playing.
It's not a huge advantage, but if it makes the first half of the game easier, that's less of a grind. And occasionally you do come across good merchant items. I still have yet to find a single amulet worth anything as a drop, but I purchased one for 4,500 gold early on that completely depleted my funds but is still better than anything I've seen since - an act and a half later. And I've had to pass up a helm that was far better than my current equipment. Those little things add up and not having to worry about money is a plus. I'm just saying that there actually is a reason you might want to get that 100k early on. Especially if it only takes a few minutes.
B4 to get this achievement, I already have the 4 characters Lv10. Each of them do have some several thousands gold in there hands. I used one of these characters (said "Character A") who get the more gold in hand for the achievement.
First, use Character B as player 1 to host a game, and for player 2, login in another gamertag and create a new character. Character B goes to the shop and spend all his mony to buy items, and then drop all them down on the ground for player 2 to pick up.
The fact is that after saving and leave the game, the player 2 "game save" is under the other gamertag and separate with the one u previous used to play for the game.
I then exit the game, use the other gamertag to login to Xbox Live (u need to do this~the save cannot be moved/copied under the wrong gamertag), backup the player 2 game save in USB device.
Use the Original gamertag to login again-->get into the game-->choose local multiplay-->player 2 transfer items to Character A-->exit the game-->player 2 login to live-->copy the save in USB to overwrite that one in HDD~~~that means player 2's character still get those items from Character B!!!
Repeat this process, Character A easy to get 100,000 gold !!!
You can get gold pieces by finding them in barrels and treasure chests, defeating enemies, selling items, and as a reward from quests. Break all the barrels you come across, sell any unwanted items, and try to avoid buying items from merchants - you should find plenty of equipment and healing potions while killing enemies and doing quests. By the end of the game I had about 60,000 gold. Use Chapter Select to go to the Mouth of the Void and grind treasures for the remaining amount. If you open a chest, then save and quit and reload your game, it will respawn. You will most likely need more experience to get to level 10 anyway, so just run around and kill enemies and open chests until you reach 100,000 gold. If your inventory is full you can click "Convert to Gold" on an item with , but this is not recommended as you will earn less gold than selling it to a shop. As long as you sell everything you don't need when you're near a shop you shouldn't need to worry about running out of inventory space. If your character has high Charisma you will receive more gold from selling items, but I would not sacrifice battle stats for Charisma. I received this trophy shortly before reaching Level 10.
This does not carry across characters, making it slightly difficult. There is an easy method to do this and you'll need a friend you trust and an Xbox Live connection. Call yourself PA, and your friend PB.
- PB hosts an Xbox Live game.
- PA joins and drops the most expensive item
- PB picks up the item
- PA quits to dashboard without saving his game, then rejoins PB
- Now PA should have his item back and PB should have one too
- PB drops the expensive item(s)
- PA picks up item(He should now have two) and saves his game
- PA drops both items and quits to dashboard and rejoins game again
- There should now be 4 items, 2 on PA and 2 on PB
- Now restart from step 6 until your inventory is full
- Sell items for until you have 100,000 gold
If you're unable to do this method then pick up every weapon you see and loot every chest. Then, sell your drops to the merchant. Chapter 3 seems to have the most drops/chests.
I finished the game again, loaded up and sold everything and got 95k. I came in with another character who had 50k after completing it. I bought equipment for everything, gave it to the archer and sold it for the remaining 5k. I left without saving and distributed the full loot to other characters.
You can try to fill in the final battle together. You can carry more.
You can try selling loot with a character with higher charisma. It should influence buying/selling.
If you have an online partner with 100k money, you can try asking him to buy and reset the loot several times (backing up saves to a flash drive).
