How to unlock the Abyss Veteran achievement in Neon Abyss - Definitive Guide

Using the quick restart option is the fastest way I've found to advance this. Takes about 11 seconds per visit.

Enter the abyss. As soon as you have control, enter the menu and navigate to "system." From there, choose "quick restart." So that's Menu, LB, D-pad down, A.

Repeatedly pressing the A button while choosing quick restart can result in the counter being incremented more than once. Thanks to SinFluxx for contributing. Thanks to ZZouZZ Ben and NuttySandman123 for confirming the bug.

I'm almost certain there's some bug where if you mash A a load when choosing Quick Restart it counts more than once for this.

Can confirm as of 6/6/2024, this still works. Took me about 15 minutes, give or take.

This is cumulative across all runs (successful or not) and all save files.

I mentioned up above that you wouldn't die anywhere near 99 times for Hi Death! (20G). so entering the Abyss 999 times isn't even in the realm of possibilities for this completion without a ton of grinding. Obviously take care of literally everything else first, since all other achievements require you to enter the Abyss. Once you're done with everything else and are ready to grind this out, jump into the Abyss (difficulty and character don't matter), pause the game, tab left to System, then choose Quick Restart. This counts as entering the abyss, and only takes a few seconds. However, there is a way to speed this up even more.

When you press button-a.png on Quick Start, you'll notice there is maybe half a second of the menu fading away as the screen turns black. Well it turns out that every time you press button-a.png while the menu words are still visible, it counts towards this achievement. What you therefore want to do is pause, tab left to System menu, down to Quick Restart, and then mash button-a.png when you select it. I found that the faster you pause and tab left after restarting, the more lag there was, giving me at least one or 1.5 seconds to mash button-a.png instead of half a second. It sounds miniscule, but it can be the difference between ten presses and two presses, which cuts down on the grind significantly.

A very useful trick .

We fall into the Abyss (we begin our approach). We land, press the OPTIONS button, then L1, then down and press the cross button. During loading (black screen), we continue to quickly press the cross button. I pressed until I landed. As a result, each press of the cross during loading counts you as the next entry into the Abyss. It turns out for one download from 5 to 10 entrances to the Abyss. In the end, I knocked out the trophy in about 30 minutes.
