How to unlock the Endurer achievement in Katamari Forever - Definitive Guide
To access this mini-game just fail any request and you will be transported to a simple game where you need to dodge falling rocks launched at you by the King/RoboKing.
A great way to boost this is to play the Hot Stuff request found in the King's Cosmos. This is the stage where you need to collect hot items and avoid cold ones. Just speed over to a group of cold items and collect them, this should make for a quick fail.
Once the mini-game starts make sure to lose your first two lives as this will make dodging the rocks easier. Also, if you were to get hit while still having more than one life it will slow down your point accumulation.
After you are left with one life walk over to the right side of the screen and you should be able to just stand there. Most rocks will miss you, but some can still hit so make sure to move out to the left every now and again if you see one coming.
I hope this helps and have fun!!
Myself and other players have had the most success with Cousin Drive - the boxy orange cousin who rolls around on a wheel. He appears to have a very thin hitbox, which gives him more chance of avoiding the falling rocks, and means that some rocks can appear to intersect him without connecting with his hitbox and scoring a hit.
The overall strategy is simple: head to the far left of the screen and stay there for as long as possible, only moving if you absolutely need to in order to avoid a rock. The random patterns of the rocks and Cousin Drive's smaller hitbox means you should have a decent chance of getting to 50,000 without needing to do very much at all.
This may be one of the more tougher/luck trophies in the game. Whenever you fail to do a request for the King or RoboKing, you will be brought to a little mini game where you are being punished and must avoid erupting rocks. To gain points you must just survive, over time your points add up faster but the rocks release faster. The best strategy for this is to just move the prince/cousin to the very right side of the screen, you can avoid the rocks more then half the time and every so often have to move your character to the left to avoid alittle bit. Rememeber you can ony take 3 hits but if your hit early on don't worry as it is easier to evade when your hit 2 times. In fact I encourage you to hit yourself twice early on because if your hit later your points slow down and don't add up as fast. If you want a fast level to quickly fail on to be brought to the mini game, try the Campfire level and burnout your Katamari in the river, or the 10,000C level and run into ice cream to burn out.
