Hey Dungeoneers,
The next Shattered Pixel Dungeon update is going to have a variety of smaller changes, including four new badges to earn! These badges range from fairly easy to quite difficult, and are all about specific challenges. Here are some hints:
- Defeat enemies with the help of terrain (traps, plans, chasms)
- Have lots of buffs or debuffs at once
- Survive the ascent with the amulet's curse peacefully
- Beat the game using a very, very high level pickaxe
(Image Description: An image showing the four new badge being added in the next Shattered Pixel Dungeon update. The first one is golden (medium difficulty), then one is platinum (high difficulty), and the last two are diamond (extreme difficulty).)
I think the badge requires a reasonable amoutn of luck given that you can easily fish for more rare enchants using stones or scrolls of enchantment. I definitely don't plan to add too many of these badges (it could get tedious very fast) but I wouldn't mind a few more over time.
But even if you burn all 15 scrolls of upgrade for stones, you have a 35% chance of not getting it, and you would have had to play the game without any upgrades to even get to that point. The only way to get it consistently is to find some way to farm weapons or enchantment stones, and that can take ages in a random run.
Yeah, and most players do not need to worry about getting that badge in a specific run, which is why I think it's fine. Too many of those badges though and the player will definitely be unlucky on some of them and end up having to send runs specifically for those badges though, which would suck.
