Hard West Ultimate Edition

Load up scenario Method in Madness, on easy. Turn on gameplay mods Full Deck, Reaction Shot Disabled, Luck for Kills, and Luck Regeneration.

This is the scenario where you have the three expendable Persons in your posse. You most likely won't start the first combat mission with Equalization, so play through until you reach the scenario map.

Before you start the second combat mission, equip Solomon DeLear with the Ten of Diamonds Equalization card (I don't know if it matters which character gets it, but that's what I did). Once you finish the loadout, and the second combat mission starts, make a quicksave just in case.

Your first action of the combat mission must be Equilization, and my understanding is that you can't heal anyone for the rest of the mission. Once activated, everyone's health will go to 1. In this mission, you have to collect hospital documentation with Solomon, and reach the safe zone. While Solomon does that, you'll want to use the rest of your posse to take out the enemies.

Once you reach the safe zone with Solomon, the Achievement will unlock.

I acquired this achievement on the scenario "As good as dead". During this scenario, you should eventually get to an optional side quest to raid the "Demon's Hideout". It was on this mission that I acquired this achievement easily on the 1st try.

This is how I set it up. First, when you unlock a marker for "Indian Camp" on your map, go to the Elixir Trader and buy a "Bottle of Liquor", then proceed to the Indian Camp. Once there, choose to share a bottle of whiskey with them. They should tell you a story which will then unlock a marker for "Indian Totem" on your map. At the Indian Totem, a deity asks you to sacrifice someone for part of their treasure. Every time I would save someone, or someone would ask to join my posse, I would immediately travel here and sacrifice them so I remained solo. When you unlock the optional side quest to raid the "Demon's Hideout", simply pause the game and do a quicksave if you are concerned. Once saved, hit the back button and be sure to select the card "Ten of Diamonds" so you have the Equalization ability.

Go to the Demon's Hideout Marker and choose to fight. Once the map loads up, RT over to your Equalization ability and use it before you do any other action or movement. I personally stayed right on the corner of the building where it starts you and shot each enemy as they appeared. Once your first turn ends, your demon power will regen your HP. This makes this achievement super easy as even if you get shot once, you should survive. I think I was shot twice during this mission for 1hp each, but had already regen'd above 5hp by then. Once the Demon and his followers have been killed, the mission is completed and your achievement should pop.

Some of the achievements in this game do not have the best descriptions, so I honestly was not sure if when it says "complete the mission without raising your characters" it meant do not use any items, potents, or medicine to raise your hp back up, or if it meant some demon skill to raise your posse members if they went down. By sacrificing my posse so I was alone, and relying on the demon regen which seems to come automatically on this scenario, I avoided any confusion or possible issues.

I am sure this can be acquired on many missions simply playing on easy difficulty and using the skill, but this way seems to remove the luck factor from it.

Gratz on your chievo!
