How to unlock the Only Determination achievement in Monster Train - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires winning a run without any artifacts. Since you are forced to choose gems for additional ember/space/cards, those don't count against you.

The easiest way to do this is by using Mutators. From the Standard Run menu:

- Start
- Choose clans & Champions (any will work)
- Set Covenant to level 1. Level 0 will work but you you will only have the crappy starting cards. Levels higher than 1 unnecessarily increases the difficulty.
- Add 3 beneficial mutators such as Mansion (+2 space on each floor), Burn Bright (+2 energy per turn), Cheap Trick (spells cost 1 less) or Fast Draw (friendly units get quick).

From there, play through as you normally would and win the run. Make sure you never take any artifact rewards (hit B to get 25 gold instead), don't accept any artifacts from Concealed Cavern events, and of course don't buy any.

For an easy option for this using the custom challenges, try CachedThesisZoning.
For your champion pick aggresive edible
The second ring has a merchant of steel, buy speedstone and strengthstone and apply to Dante
Place your champion to the left of Dante on the first floor of each fight, this combination should be enough to carry you through all the fights easily enough.
Remember not to pick up any relics

Give my setup a shot, I just did it twice in a row with random clans with those beneficial mutators. You can pick clans you are best with!

@commanderkeen11 I duplicated Dante after I gave him the quick and extra health and anything on the track there was a duplicate I kept doing that. I had 4 of them by then end. This challenge also gave me the A Cramped Train Achievement so thanks!

Got it first try using cachedthesiszoning. Literally beat every boss before its combat phase, got the cramped train achievement, and this achievement. I picked up a spell that let me nullify the next 2 sources of damage which was needed for the final boss

I did CachedThesisZoning as @barn0by advised. Make sure to give Dante quick and extra health ensuring he wont get one shotted by Seraph who hits for 25-30+. I didn't and had to stack morsels in front to squeak out a win. Got unnecessarily complicated, took a few retries.
