How to unlock the Glitch of Death achievement in South Park: The Fractured But Whole - Definitive Guide
The best and easiest place to do this is during your first visit to the restaurant during Night 1. As you walk into the kitchen you will see an open flame which you then just need to throw a fart at to cause an explosion which will leave one of the chefs burning. Simply use Coon Lunge on the chefs on Cartman's row and you will get the tutorial for the Glitch combat fart which if you use, will unlock this achievement easily.
Here is a video:
I didn’t want to beat the game and have there be no more enemies to fight or something dumb, so I saved my story and kept getting into battles to bang this one out. First you need the Time Fart Glitch (the first one) and a Damage over Time ability, or an ally with one. I personally used The Coon but Mosquito and SuperCraig also have these skills. Again, before i’m corrected by all the experts, i’m about mid-way through the story and my options were limited. Basically they’re bleeding, grossed out, infuriated/enraged, confused, etc. It’ll tell you in the description of the ability.
Unlike all the other experts, I’m not going to act like this is skill-based, it’s actually more luck-based, and if I can do it anyone can. I say luck-based due to how much health the enemy you designate has left, how powerful your DoT initial strike is, how powerful the DoT effect is, etc. Have one enemy in a group left and when they’re near death, hit them with the DoT skill and the enemy will take the initial hit but you need to glitch their turn when the DoT affects them, which happens at the end of the *next* enemy turn. As soon as it’s about to be the enemy’s next turn, use the glitch, if it works the enemy will just drop dead. If they’re still standing, the DoT wasn’t powerful enough or they had too much health, and the enemy is probably now down to about 3 health.
You can’t spam the Time Farts because of the cool down, and because of artifacts and leveling, it’s hard to gauge how powerful attacks will be. Just repeat as needed until it all lines up for you. It took me three tries, but you will get it. Game smart, not hard.
If you would like a video guide for this I will leave mine below.
This skill is unlocked as part of the story at the end of Day 1. To unlock the achievement, try to stack status effects such as shock, burning, and bleeding on an enemy, then when that enemy goes to attack, hold + and press both thumbsticks to the left (). This will rewind time and skip the enemy's turn, but they will still take the status effect damage. If the damage kills them directly after using TimeFart Glitch, the achievement will unlock.
When he dies from the status effects, the trophy will pop. If not, leave the playground and immediately come back and try again.
The easiest play to get this, is right after you obtain the TimeFart Glitch you will fight some cooks in the kitchen. Use Cartman's claw attack to one of them to cause them to get Bleed status. Now keep battling and try to get him down to very low health without killing him. When his turn comes up and he has barely any health left, hold down and and then press both analogue sticks to the left ( + ) to use the TimeFart Glitch to cancel out his turn but still cause the bleeding status damage to him finishing him off. If you don't get it here, use the same strategy type where you use a status effect on an enemy then get their health down to nothing before cancelling out their next attack with the TimeFart Glitch so they die from the status effect damage. Once you kill a status-effect enemy with the TimeFart Glitch, the trophy will pop.
1. We blow up the cook near the tile with a fart and immediately hit the nearest one in order to enter into battle.
2. Along the top line we use the Raccoon’s ability, with which he rushes through enemies.
3. When the game prompts you to use the “Fart Glitch” in order to interrupt the attack of the burning cook, hold down + , but we don’t use the ability, we just release the buttons, the prompt will disappear.
4. We wait for the next move of the burning cook and only then use the “Fart Glitch”. The cook dies and we get the achievement.
