How to unlock the Back to Back achievement in Minecraft Dungeons - Definitive Guide

This achievement CAN be gained any day of the month, I unlocked mine on 10th March 2021! But only IF you are playing the WIN10 version on a PC (Achievement list is 'play anywhere' so they're the same game)!

If you have GAMES PASS ULTIMATE or GAMES PASS FOR PC, the game will be free for you to download.

So, firstly; (assuming you're on a Windows 10 machine)

1- Right-click your time in the bottom right of the screen and click "adjust time/date".
2- Turn "set the time automatically" to off and click the "change" button below.
3- Set the date to the 2nd of the month (I set mine to the 2nd March 2021).
4- Click "change" and the date element is then done.

You'll now need at least one controller to plug into your PC, I personally wired in two controllers as I prefer not playing on keyboard and mouse.

Get into the game and don't worry about signing into the second account yet. Start your chosen mode either an Ancient hunt or a daily trial on one of the maps. Play the level until you get to the double doors indicating the end of the level and STOP there!

On the primary account press the cn_back button to bring up the players list and your second controller should be waiting to join by holding in the cn_LS. Once they're in go through the door to finish the level which you should then be credited your first 25% progression.

When you're back to the camp do the same, pressing the cn_back and holding the cn_LS on the second controller to get rid of them.

Rinse and repeat across the remaining maps you need and the achievement is yours!

------------------

NOTE:
This method is only tested by myself in local co-op (whilst connected to the internet) with a guest account and NOT on a console. Your results may vary if attempt this a different way.

I would assume playing online would negate the time change and obviously cannot be done on console!


------------------

If you leave a thumbs down, leave a comment as to what the problem is, that way I can make any changes if needed! If its a thumbs down because this a PC solution... shame on you!

Wanted to let people know my experience with this as I attempted to unlock this. Using the Series X to play to achieve this. Played with my little brother who was using an One S. I hosted and he unlocked the achievement, where as my tracker did not go up. Tried solo local coop by connecting a profile at the end of a level, but no dice. Tried repeating with him hosting, zilch.

The only way to get it working was for me to play on the PC and have him host again. Cannot tell if it wasn't working because I was on next gen and he was on current gen, or the Series X wasn't tracking properly. No idea. But if it doesn't work on console, safe bet is to use a PC.

Hope that helps someone else confused with the tracker being stuck on their end.

Me and my friend tried doing this achievement and the tracker wouldn't go up for either of us sadly.

In my case, the achievement did not unlock when the second player was a guest (local co-op). I had to connect the second controller to a real account. Hope this help smile

This is still broken as of 5/2. Did it twice. Once online from my Series X and then again via local coop on the One S. No tracking. No unlock.

Just attempted this today, 5/2, and no progress or achievement for me or my son. Also not tracking the additional ancient hunts we have killed. This is terrible, especially when it can only be attempted 1 day a month.

@MadTrav, was this on console? Have you tried the solo method on a pc/laptop? If you're chasing the achievement it could be worthwhile hopping over to get it!

In my experience, I received no progress on this unless I was the host. My buddy that hosted initially unlocked his first. I then hosted and progress is working normally. Did it on Series X.

I managed to snag this one tonight. My brother and I, two controllers, mine and his account, one xbox. I was the host but it still popped for him at the same time as me.

For me and a buddy (xbox one and xbox series x), we had no issues. I was host and we both got it.

@P3wpStick you do not have to own the DLC for this. Daily Challenges and Ancient Hunts are free content to all players.

I was stuck at 25% on the Xbox. Played on the PC and it unlocked first attempt.

Not sure if it's related but my PC version has no DLCs and the Xbox version had them all.

If you don’t get this on your first try on the 2nd of any month, the achievement will glitch and you will no longer be able to unlock it if you don’t have a PC

Did this on local co-op on console today, the 2nd. Used the drop in, drop out method. I had Player 2 with me when starting each mission then dropped him out and right before going through the final door to end the mission I would bring him back in. Achievement popped without issue.

Not sure if anyone is still going for this, but i would like to add DONT STRESS IF YOUR TRACKER DOESNT MOVE. I was the host account and used another account for local co-op. My tracker didnt move at all but the other account moved throughout. Both accounts got the achievement at the same time. So if your tracker isn’t moving while doing this, dont stress it your achievement will still pop when it should

You can do it at any day on switch too, as the switch has the option to change the day and it counts on the linked xbox account

Anyone know if this can be done with more than 2, or are you limited to 2?

Just checking if our crew needs to split up on the 2nd into two different groups.

I skipped the part about changing the date and time because today's actually the second. But the rest of the solution worked perfectly on Windows!

6 months later and it's still broke. I tried it with a new local level 1 co-op dummy and it unlocked fine for them, but mine is still stuck at 25%. Launch paid DLC after paid DLC but no fix for this huh...

was at 25% playing online with friend; did 2 daily missions still 25%, did 2 hunts still 25%

did local and used a guest did 2 daily missions (just change diff)
still 25%, did 2 hunts still 25%

UPDATE: I got it to unlock before midnight tonight lol (i had to do the daily mission on apocalypse which wasn't that fun lol)
So to fix the glitch if you're stuck is to play it on your win10 device; I've got a laptop; (it ran it but I had to put the settings to fastest and there was still some lag/ delay lol) oh well and yes you NEED 2 CONTROLLERS. The drop out method works great because controlling 2 controllers is annoying asf.

You will need a co-op partner to complete this. On the second day of any month, you need to complete two Ancient hunts and two Daily Trials. The Daily Trials change each day, so hopefully you'll get some easy ones to complete. The Ancient Hunts can be very difficult so make sure you bring your best gear and enchantments.
 
Note: As this game is play anywhere with Game Pass, you can play this on your PC and change your date/time to the second of any month instead of waiting for the real world calendar.

The essence of the achievement:
1) be in a co-op game
2) complete two daily missions (missions open when completing the story, marked with a green icon on the map)
3) go through two ancient hunts (the entrance is located at the bottom of the base, to activate the passage you need to donate unnecessary equipment for the portal: armor, weapons, artifacts. The donation must gain strength of 100 points. Each item has a different number of points, you can only find out in the menu donations)
4) do all this on the second day of the month (02.month.year)

OR

Set the console date to the second number and do it with the second gamepad.)
