Anillo de dolor – Multiclass Update Achievements Guide

On October 12th, 2023, they added 16 brand-new achievements in the «Multiclass Update.» This update is all about class items. I’m here to help you understand how to complete these 16 achievements so you can fully enjoy the game.

Introducción

This guide is split into four parts:

• Class-Based Runs Achievements
• Restriction-Based Runs Achievements
• Boss-Kill Achievements
• Logros varios

You have the flexibility to tackle several achievements in a single run. Por ejemplo, you can combine a restriction-based run with a class-based run. Sin embargo, it’s wise to focus on one achievement at a time because these runs are quite challenging.

You can complete these achievements on any difficulty level, but I recommend starting on Normal for a smoother experience. Además, I suggest aiming for the Dark Ending in all your runs because it’s generally considered easier and more reliable than the Light Ending.

Before embarking on these runs, it’s assumed that you’ve already accomplished most of the previous achievements and unlocked many of the game’s items. The guide references some items unlocked by prior achievements, so it’s a good idea to obtain those achievements before attempting these runs. Los ejemplos incluyen «Sadistic Will» (unlocked by the «Serpiente» logro), «Consumption» (unlocked by «Near Death Experience»), «Trascendencia» (unlocked by «Malas elecciones»), y «Toxinas» (unlocked by «Dig Your Own Grave»).

It’s also important to note that you should have completed at least five runs to unlock the Selective Stone, a new candle that’s crucial for many of these achievements.

Class-based Runs Achievements

When pursuing the class-based achievements, I strongly recommend using the new Selective Stone candle. This candle will eliminate all other item sets from the regular loot pool, making it much easier to locate items belonging to a specific set. It’s important to note that this won’t remove multiclass items or unique items like the «Bloodstone» (a Legendary Diviner Gem Item from the Shrine of Neglect path) o el «Gargantilla» (a Legendary Brute Neck Item from the Shrine of Sacrifice path). These unique items will still be counted for their respective classes, so exercise caution.

Para estos logros (excepto «Matching»), they only check what you have equipped at the end of the run. This means you can pick up and use multiclass items or items from other classes during the run itself. Just be sure to replace, usar (in the case of scrolls), or discard any incorrect class items before you finish the run.

Always pay close attention to the icon in the top left corner of each item you come across during these runs.

Matching
Wear items of the same set in the Head, Cuerpo, Piernas, and Feet slots

You’ll probably get this achievement while working on one of the class-specific runs. Make sure to check the icon in the top left corner of each item and equip items for the head, cuerpo, piernas, and feet that belong to the same class. The achievement will appear during your run, and you don’t need to complete the run with these items to unlock it.

Bruto
Complete a run with only Brute items equipped

When you’re aiming for a Brute build, it’s a good strategy to prioritize well-balanced stats. There are numerous Common Brute items with solid stats that can make the early to mid game smoother. si puedes, consider sacrificing these items to the Wishing Well (on the Wishful path).

As you progress towards the end-game, the Brute run becomes notably easier. You’ll encounter numerous legendary and epic items that are among the most powerful in the game. Some examples include Dual Wield, Mayal, Intimidate items, and items that deal splash damage. Accumulate souls to acquire these epic and legendary items, as they can significantly boost your effectiveness as a Brute.

Acosador
Complete a run with only Stalker items equipped

I think the hardest class out of the four is the one that relies on specific things. Poison setups are effective if you can stay alive for a long time, but it’s tough to succeed without certain items like Plague (Epic Spellbook), Toxinas (Legendary Off-hand), or Poison Sword (Epic Main-hand). I earned the achievement with the assistance of Toxins, Sadistic Will (Epic Stalker Mask), and Plague to create a lot of poison on enemies that then jumps between them. This strategy can also be used for other situations.

Not Touching You
Kill a boss without ever attacking them directly logro.

Another way to approach this is by using Putrid Incense (Rare Main-hand) along with Misting Vessel (Common Off-hand). This setup helps you accumulate poison by moving back and forth, but it can be tricky when dealing with creatures that attack multiple times or block your path. Just be cautious around explosive creatures because you could accidentally hurt yourself when applying poison to them. If you want to try this strategy, it’s a good idea to carry only a few items and restart your run until you find Misting Vessel early on. Entonces, you’ll want to hope for Putrid Incense in the first six floors or from an Ambush path. If you can also find a Plague spellbook and/or a Sadistic Will Mask during your run, it will make dealing with the Owl much easier.

Soul Kin
Complete a run with only Soul Kin items equipped

The simplest way to go about this is by using a low-item setup with Hermit’s Tiara (Common Head) and Spiritual (Common Mask). This combination makes the entire journey quite easy until you reach the boss. You should disregard any Attack boosts and instead focus on improving your survivability with Defense and HP, while maintaining a Speed stat of 15 o superior. Keep in mind that certain enemies and bosses cannot be frozen. When facing the Owl, all you need is to find a Soul Cannon (Legendary Spellbook) or maybe a Soul Hourglass, and you should be well-equipped to secure a victory. Just make sure to have fewer than four items, including the candle, Tiara, and the win condition item, for this strategy to work effectively.

Diviner
Complete a run with only Diviner items equipped

The Diviner character stays strong all the way through the game. If you find Vitality Robes or Chugging Mask early on, you can get really tough by increasing your max health a lot. If you also have items that heal you when you defeat enemies or hit them, you’re in a good position to win because you can stay alive for a long time.

Diviner gear doesn’t usually focus on attacking, so it’s a good idea to use items that boost your stats and items that work for different character classes if you need to be stronger and faster. Keep an eye out for special Diviner items like Ascension, Infierno, Crushing Concoction, or Screamer. These can give you the extra damage you need to beat Owl at the end of the game.

Multiclass
Complete a run with only Multiclass items equipped

The latest achievement I achieved was for a diversified game play where any type of candle could be used in the multiclass approach. Sin embargo, if you choose the Selection Stone (for any class), the variety of available loot decreases, potentially leading to a higher occurrence of multiclass items due to the reduced options. It’s worth noting that numerous shops often stock multiclass items, and various paths, such as Companions or Separation, can grant unique multiclass items. Además, the newly introduced legendary item, Multiclass Gambit, significantly amplifies the strength of your items. As for the overall strategy, it’s essential to aim for a balanced distribution of stats and make the best of the items you come across.

There’s a scarcity of Common multiclass items, so I suggest initially acquiring items from other classes that offer beneficial early stats or effects, por ejemplo, the Hermit’s Tiara, which you can subsequently replace or discard.

Please be cautious, as distinct from other class-based achievements, it appears that the specific conditions for the Multiclass achievement necessitate that you never pick up a class-specific item throughout the entire run. I attempted two separate runs that didn’t meet this requirement, presumably due to a potential bug. Notablemente, I completed a run where the initial Halberd I acquired was later swapped for a Rapier, yet this run did not count towards the achievement.

The Brute class has the fewest Common items available and is the simplest class to initiate a run with if you aim to steer clear of any non-multiclass items. To prevent accidental picks of class-specific items, it’s advisable to avoid the Grabby Hands power-up. En cambio, focus on obtaining Catalyst, which can provide substantial stat enhancements. Best of luck on your journey!

Restriction-based Runs Achievements

Who Needs Luck?
Complete a run with your Stealth, Crit and Dodge chance lower than 10%

To avoid having 10% Dodge and Stealth, you need to have less than 20 Velocidad. And to prevent having 10% Crit, you should have less than 15 Claridad.

I achieved this while building a Tiara freeze setup, which is explained more in the class-based runs under Soul Kin. My final items included Selective Stone (Vela), Hermit’s Tiara, Spiritual, and Soul Cannon.

Here are my stats: 24 Salud, -4 Fortaleza, 28 Defensa, 15 Velocidad, y -2 Claridad. With these stats, Yo tenía 0% Crit, 8% Esquivar, y 8% Sigilo. Spiritual is an optional choice but helps to clear levels faster.

All Natural
Complete a run without gaining any stats from Stat Boosts

This one is pretty simple but can be tough. I completed it by doing a standard Selection Stone Brute run, but I also collected multiclass items alongside Brute items. My main focus was on building up my stats, and by the time I reached the end game, the Brute legendaries were powerful enough to carry me through.

While it might be tempting to attempt this run alongside Scrounger Appreciation (explicado a continuación), I suggest keeping them separate. You’ll need the souls and healing items that the Scroungers drop for this run.

Explosives Expert
Complete a run without taking any explode damage

You can stay safe from big explosions during a regular game, especially if you’re trying to create a freeze-focused setup. Mira el «Who Needs Luck?» section or consider the «Soul Kin» for class-based runs, which provides a working Tiara build. It’s important to remember that simply using items like Heat Shield or Hungry Sun, which reduce, cancel, or replace explosive damage, won’t help you get this achievement. Curiosamente, I’m unsure if this is a mistake or something the game developers intended, but even if you’re hit by an explosion that doesn’t harm you, you won’t earn the achievement.

Scrounger Appreciation
Complete a run without killing a Scrounger

In the Owl bossfight, you’ll encounter Scroungers, and they don’t have any way to get away from danger. Entonces, any sort of splash damage or similar effects will probably end up killing them.

I achieved this goal when I was doing a regular «Multiclass items only» correr. It’s important to remember that the Scroungers can’t die from explosions or other creatures, like getting consumed by a Wretched Amalgam, for you to succeed in this achievement.

Boss-kill Achievements

My suggestion is to attempt boss-related achievements during the Owl boss fight on the Dark Ending path. I can’t confirm if they work on the Light Ending path.

Not Touching You
Kill a boss without ever attacking them directly

I got the achievement with Toxins (Legendary Stalker Off-hand), Sadistic Will (Epic Stalker Mask), and Plague (Epic Stalker Spellbook). These helped me build up poison that jumps to Owl when something nearby dies from the poison.

I’m not sure if targeting the boss with a spellbook or scroll is considered a direct attack. If it’s not, you can also earn this achievement by using Soul Cannon (Legendary Spellbook) in any build.

Raw Power
Kill a boss without any items equipped

You can wear items during the run and boss fight, but not right at the moment you defeat the boss.

My suggestion is to do a regular run and grab a Transcendence Scroll as you go. Use the scroll right before you’re about to deliver the final blow to the boss.

Misceláneas

Nuclear
Kill all creatures in a core path dungeon on the first turn

Para obtener este logro, keep an eye out for the Soul Spill scroll. Collect a large number of souls and use it on the first turn of a standard core path dungeon (one of the numbered ones). If your total soul count is greater than the total health in the dungeon, you’ll wipe out everything and receive the achievement.

Ejemplo:

A Soul Kin run can be beneficial for this achievement since this class has access to various items that allow you to reveal all cards (Visionario, Neuron Sight, Sight Sphere) and includes many cards with high Clarity for easier soul gain. When all cards are revealed, you can simply calculate the total health of all the visible creatures and check if your current soul count can defeat them.

Just a reminder, make sure to attempt this on floors without creatures that split, like Viscid Twins, as they can complicate the situation.

What Doesn’t Kill You
Survive a total of 60+ damage in a single Nest or Swamp dungeon

This thing confused me a bit, pero «Nido» o «Pantano» means the background of the dungeon you’re in, not a special path. Básicamente, you can’t just go to a Shrine of Sacrifice and hurt yourself for 60+ damage to get the achievement; it has to happen in a real dungeon. Entonces, check out the background and make sure it’s a nest/straw background or a green swampy background.

La primera 6 floors are considered «Nido,» and floors 7-10 son «Swamp.» I’m not sure if any other paths apart from the main ones will work for this achievement.

I suggest making a Diviner build that’s tough to kill. You can use items like Chugging Mask, Vitality Robes, or Consumption (if you find a Rare Diviner Mask) to boost your max Health, which you’ll need a lot of for this achievement.

Alternativamente, stack up on Health and items that give you more potions or healing. The Heal scroll can basically double the amount of damage you can take in one dungeon, if you can find it. Since we want to take damage, having more Health is more important than Defense for this specific achievement. Clarity can also help you heal more from potions. Be careful not to pick up items that might accidentally kill creatures, like Crushing Concoction and items with Reflect.

The build I used (on floor 5, got Consumption early) looked like this:

Once you’ve got enough health or healing to survive 60+ daño, just walk back and forth in front of a creature until it hits you enough, and the achievement will show up.

Dominant Twin
Kill a creature with exactly the same stats as you

To nab this achievement, you have to match the stats of another critter and take ‘em down with a basic attack (no scrolls or spellbook trickery). Since creatures don’t have the Clarity stat, you can have as much Clarity as you like. The damage from piercing attacks is factored into your total Attack.

For this feat, I suggest trying to be like a Spineback, which you’ll mostly find on floors 5-7. Spinebacks start with these stats:

• 12 Salud
• 9 Ataque (7 normal + 2 perforación)
• 6 Defensa
• 6 Velocidad

My setup looked like this:

I used a Tigerstone, a Halberd, Wading Rags, and added 3 stat increases for Defense plus 1 stat boost for Attack. If you stumble upon a Helmet, solo necesitas 1 stat boost for Attack and none for Defense.

Feel free to use any scrolls you come across to assist you, as long as they don’t alter your stats or directly off the creature. I used a Stone scroll for a little extra oomph at the start. Make sure you’re at full health before you tangle with the Spineback and only hit it when it’s not all spiky.

Expensive Look
Spend more than 200 Souls rerolling a chest and then discard it

Get a bunch of Souls, preferably 300 or more to be safe, and spend them all to re-roll the loot you find. Después, just toss the loot away. This will amp up the difficulty of your run as you’re using up a ton of souls and ditching gear, so don’t attempt this while you’re aiming for a tough run.

You might stumble upon this achievement naturally while going for the Multiclass Achievement, as you’ll be re-rolling chests quite a bit.
