Fastest/easiest way for the Artful Gambit Achievement! 3hrs
Post Body

Explanation: For the hardest trophy in this game you’ll need to beat 10 bosses with the “artful gambit” relic on. This means your HP will be reduced to a minimum, but every time you do a perfectly timed defend you will only get 1 damage. So in theory this is pretty hard. In practice – not. The reason? NG ! If you beat the game you can start over but you keep all your stats and even equipment. Furthermore, the enemies DO NOT SCALE! They are the same as they were in you first playthrough, making this a joke, you’ll one-shot pretty much everything. The first bosses die in 2-3 turns. But wait, there’s more!

  • Start a NG after you have obtained every other trophy
  • Skip through all dialogue with R1 X (super-fast)
  • As soon as you can equip stuff, put on your best weapons, armors and rings. Also, activate all “good” relics (damage reduction, hp etc.)
  • Before every boss fight, save and turn the artful gambit on. After that you can deactivate again (or just leave it on… the fights in the beginning are way too easy anyways)
  • Beat the following bosses this way:
    • Boss Slug
    • Elder Mist
    • Malkomud Salamander
    • Chromatic Apparition
    • Romaya
  • Now save your game and save again on a different slot (“copy” your save)
  • Quit and go to the main menu. Start a NG again and use your newly copied slot to do so.
  • All 5 bosses will still count as defeated with artful gambit, so all you have to do is defeat them again!
  • This way is faster than killing the next 5 bosses (which include two dwellers), easier and you’ll get a nice platinum video with the chromatic apparition in it. (I wanted to have Malkomud though because he tells me I’m strong lol)

Of course, if you want the challenge, you can even start fighting with artful gambit in the first playthrough. This is just the easiest way to do it!
