How to unlock the Death on the Trail achievement in The Flame in the Flood - Definitive Guide

This can be gotten within a few minutes of a new game. Start a game on Survivalist and keep filling your jar with water from the dock and drinking until you have dysentery + a couple other afflictions. Then get on the raft (your health bars won't start ticking down on the island) and paddle outta there. You should die from dehydration just as you reach the first island.

The same technique works if you want to get it later in the game as well, and by then you can also save some Salt to dehydrate even faster.

Notes:
- Dysentery is just one of four afflictions you can gain from polluted water, the other three being Parasites, Listeria and Giardia.
- While sleeping dehydrates, it also cures dysentery. So sleeping to speed up the process won't work.
- You can also use alcohol to dehydrate but it's more finicky since you also have to deal with the "Drunk" affliction which can kill you from exhaustion instead.
- Sashamorning notes that you don't actually have to die to get the achievement, just getting the "dehydrated" affliction is enough. You can cure yourself afterwards if you want

NB: I got the achievement as soon as I was dehydrated. The description is off...I could have saved myself afterwards, but I didn't.

I received the "Dehydrated" affliction 30 secs- 1 min before I died and the achievement popped almost exactly as I died. Not sure if there was a delay with the achievement popping (which does happen for me sometimes), but I felt it was important to note for anyone else that you may not be able to cure yourself and still receive the achievement.

Dysentary has a chance of being contracted by drinking Polluted Water. Dehydration occurs when your thirst meter runs out. Keep drinking Polluted Water until you contract Dysentary, and then just wait until you die of thirst to unlock this achievement.

You can get dysentery by drinking dirty water. All that was left was to die from lack of water. To speed up the process, you can eat salt.
