This one is a little tricky since each time you visit a Mummy Shop after 5 levels, the prices of all of the items (aside from the Amulet) go up, so it's very hard to plan ahead to have exactly enough money to spend it all on things. Thankfully Amulet prices are the same every time, so that's the one thing you can plan on. The first Amulet costs 50 gold, and is available after level 1, so buy that. The second Amulet (which you can buy after dying once) costs 100 gold. The third Amulet costs 500 gold. Since the achievement requires you to have at least 500 gold, you won't be able to do this until the third Amulet. You will also have to be very careful when collecting gold.
Here's what to do: After level 1, buy the Amulet for 50 gold. Now play through levels and collect exactly 600 gold (enough for the second and third Amulets). Be extremely careful to ensure you'll end up with exactly 600. Be aware of whether you have the clover that doubles your gold collected. Small piles of gold are worth 3 gold, large ones 8. Once you've got 600 gold, kill yourself, buy the second Amulet for 100 gold, kill yourself again, buy the third Amulet for 500 gold, and when you exit the shop the achievement will unlock.

Early on most items cost 30g so when I was trying to buy my 3rd amulet via death I mzade sure that if i had over 500g it was multiples of 30g extra.

Hi guys! This goes even easier I think. Here is how:
- Play through level 1 with exactly 50 gold at the end : pick up 4 times 8 gold (=32 gold) and 6 times 3 gold (=18 gold). Buy the amulett.
- Die right away in level 2, use your amulet.
- Play through level 2 and the next one(s) until you hit 100 gold again. Die in that level, use amulett.
- You restart at level 2. Collect again gold, this time 500. When you hit 500, die on purpose and use your second amulett. You return to the shop of level 2 and can buy your third amulett for 500 gold. Over! ;-)
Another tipp: make your way to the exit first and collect the gold afterwards. You might get stuck with gold behind a door or directly in front of the steps...
