How to unlock the Golden Idol achievement in Marooners - Definitive Guide

You can do this achievement with either a bot or an extra controller! It seems that they have patched this! You can no longer do it in offline mode sadly :/ However, if you go to online mode, and you have more than one controller it helps get into another game.

There are various mini games I do believe 6 in total but you may only have to play 2 or 3 times before you get to Twin Temple. If you do not want the game to randomly switch to another mini game make sure you put your setting to Linear!

In this game, if you want the little artifact to hold to get points to go for a couple other of grindy achievements go for it just run up to the extra controller character and you will snag the artifact! But be careful because after the diamonds the artifact will catch on fire!!! Just give it back to the extra controller and make your way far away to not be blown up!

If you do use an extra controller for online play, than you can use it as an easy scapegoat. If you spawn with the totem than run over to your other controller and see if you can run around and kill someone else with it. If not just avoid the person with the totem, stay high and see if you can get someone stuck.

Once your extra controller character has blown up or the last person, the pot of gold will appear in the middle of the room, do not forget to grab that or the achievement WILL NOT pop! When you grab wait a few seconds after and you win Twin Temple the achievement will pop!

Good Luck!

That's odd because I did it with an extra controller, did you get away before it blew up and collected the pot of gold in the middle of the room?

Yeah, I did that a ton of times while I was grinding wins, but only worked with bots. Maybe was patched?

Hmmm that is a possibility I do not actually have the game downloaded at the moment, but I will try and check with an alt account and verify if I can get again and if not than I will update the solution. :)

Also out of curiosity are you using a second profile for the second controller or are you using both on one account?

I have been looking and the game just may be really glitchy and buggy at the moment oof

I used two different profiles. And yeah, it's really glitchy, achievements with numbers pop randomly...

Yeah I noticed that too! Whenever I was trying for some of the more grindy ones and it just randomly pop and I was like maybe 5 games away...

I would say to keep trying either with a controller or with bots, because it sucks that some of the game may be broken now :/

This is not really a solution, but a way to bring this achievement to unlock, as it is really buggy.

When you're having trouble to unlock this or any other pot of gold achievement, then you can use this solution.

Start the game and just log in with the second profile and make sure that this is the profile what is logged in the game. If not press Y to change the profile. After that start a online game and log your main account on a second controller and play with an extra bot. As strangely this game pops the achievement for both profiles my second account got the achievement and it automatically popped for the main account.

Hope it helps some other gamers.

This definitely worked for me on the few wonky achievements that did not unlock. Thank you!

You can do this against a bot by choosing the "Online" game mode in the menu.

Then choose party as game mode and you will load in a game lobby where a bot will be added shortly after.

Most of the times no other human players will enter and you can easily grind this method out until the Twin Temple comes up as a mini game.

My tip for winning a round of Twin Temple and get the pot of gold in the end is by staying away from the relic the entire game. When smoke starts to come out of it the CPU bot will start chasing you but this is easily avoided by utilizing the middle of the map where there is a little ledge where you can jump up and down from. The bot won't follow you here when you jump and will just run around from the lower part to the higher so it's very easy to avoid the bot here. Just be sure to have a good distance when the relic explodes in the end because the pot of gold spawns in just after. Good luck!

Impossible for me to get it.

I got the pot after winning offline/online, with bots or players, against one and six opponent(s), changing the region in the lobby options, after hard reseting the console or uninstalling/reinstalling the game.......... but still nothing. 😟

The worst in this story is that my friend who played with me in an online 1vs1 got it in our very first session!! 😨

And on the game's forum here on TA, someone else has this problem, but no solution was found... I just wrote to the devs, let's hope they'll reply.

Online only.

To win in Twin Temple, you need to not be holding the statue when it explodes (or be close to it). Once there is one person left standing, the pot of gold will appear. Pick it up to unlock the trophy.

Refer to "Gold As Ice" for pot of gold info.

Twin Temple Map: You need to avoid the trophy, as it will eventually explode taking you down.
