How to unlock the Naturopath achievement in Risk of Rain 2 - Definitive Guide

This achievement is for completing the first 3 stages in a run without using any health gain/regen items. You can do this on the easy difficulty.

The Strategy: I highly recommend using the engineer as his sentry guns are extremely strong playing solo. Only pick up attack buff items ex. Armour Piercing Rounds, Glasses, etc. Picking up a single health regen item will likely void the achievement as you will probably take damage along the way. If you are unsure if an item is health related DO NOT PICK IT UP. Find the teleporters as quick as you can and finish the boss fights, ideally you will still be on the easy bar by time you fight the third boss.

Here is a video of a run I did to get the achievement.

I couldn't get this to pop until I turned off all my Artifacts.

I don't know if artifacts used to cause problems for achievements, but I managed to get this achievement with the Loader while using three artifacts: order, sacrifice, and swarm.

The description here is a little misleading. What it should say is, without using healing items or support, complete the third teleporter event.

To clarify, your health regen that happens automatically doesn't void this achievement, since there's no way to prevent that from triggering. What does void this achievement is anything external that heals you. Specifically:
 
  • No items that grant healing
  • No attacks or skills that cause you to heal
  • No healing drones repaired that'll heal you
Assuming you're using the Artifact of Command from the roadmap, the first point is easy enough to do, because you can just purposely pick items that aren't healing items. Ones that improve your existing health regen are okay (such as Cautious Slug, which makes you heal faster outside of combat), as are ones that improve your health (such as Topaz Brooch, Personal Shield Generator, and Bison Steak), but ones that add healing, such as Bustling Fungus, Medkit, Harvester's Scythe, etc., will all void this achievement. To be safe though, just avoid any items that mention healing. 

For the second point, this is in reference to certain playable characters that heal when using certain attacks or skills. For example, REX heals with his primary attack, so playing as him is out of the question. Just use a character with no healing abilities, such as Huntress or Engineer. 

For the last point, to be safe, just don't repair any drones on the run at all. 

Lastly, I'm not sure if this was a bug specific to me or what, but when this achievement unlocked for me, I had played the first stage without healing, activated a Newt Altar, went through the portal to the Bazaar Beyond Time, and when I exited into Stage 2, this achievement unlocked. It's definitely not an achievement bug, because all achievements are triggered by ingame challenges, and the challenge also completed. So, if you want to try that, it only required me to beat the first stage, rather than three.

Try not to pick up healing upgrades and don’t repair the healing drone, and if you accidentally pick them up, you can get rid of them using special equipment that makes garbage out of the upgrade.
