"That Just Happened" achievement

A) Have low enough DPS to actually tank enough enemies for skeletons to FIIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLYYYY appear and just hope to whatever deity is listening that there's an exploding skeleton at some point... B) But ALSO have DPS high enough to actually achieve kills enough to get Goblin out of his cave in the first place... C) But AAAALLLLSSOOOO not high enough that it insta-kills everything the moment he pops out... D) But AAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO still high enough to actually kill an exploding skeleton when he IS out... E) But AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO find some way to make his projectile ACTUALLY hit and kill that exploding skeleton amongst the huge number of enemies that have collected at that point... F) BUT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO have DPS middling enough to kill that exploding skeleton without risking killing all other skeletons before his projectile actually targets the exploding one. G) BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO have DPS high enough so that if ALL of the above conditions are somehow met, the explosion from the exploding skeleton ACTUALLY takes out two other skeletons instead of just lightly scuffing their health bar. This seems impossible. If not impossible, then a level of luck-based that sprints into a longjump over the line of sheer absurdity.

It specifically says that Goblin's projectile has to be the thing that kills the exploding skeleton, and then that exploding skeleton has to in-turn kill two other skeletons summoned by Skeletom. If I click to kill any of the skeletons, it won't give the achievement.

Assuming ofc that you didn't buy the talent that splashes click damage, in which case you're screwed... I think I'm just not gonna bother with that achievement in the first place, the bonus is completely negligible and it's too much work to get it.

Think i may have had a chance if i'd tried it on Gaming the System, but had already finished all the new objectives before i heard that that was the case. (Maybe if i beg they'll reset that objective for me - but otherwise, i'm done trying this achievement, having wasted too much time on it already [unless a new trick comes to light]). edit: i see that Teschio got in there before me with the same points. And he's ultimately right - the reward for the achievement is absolutely negligible; the only reason i'd like to get it is for the personal satisfaction of maintaining 100% (other than mission impossible of course).
781 Posts	Link to post - Posted June 18th 2018 at 6:08 PM Animenut Even if my clicking damage is enough to thin the herd of monsters, the issue remains that the projectile damage is based on formation DPS, and issues D, E, and G are still a thing. Even if I can get Goblin out of his cave and take care of other monsters to make him more likely to shoot a skeleton, MY DPS still needs to be high enough to kill the exploding skeleton with only his shot, but NOT high enough to auto-kill other skeletons before he can kill the exploding one, while ALSO high enough to make that 50% damage from the explosion kill the other skeletons. Clicking to reduce monster clutter only removes issues A, B, and C, while, at most, simply reducing but not eliminating F. I'm neurotic. Seeing that incomplete achievement is going to mess with my head.

781 Posts	Link to post - Posted June 22nd 2018 at 10:37 PM Animenut Has anyone been able to do this yet? I tried the above method. Tank, steady kills, idled for like 3 hours, never got even close. Either my damage is high enough to kill an enemy in under an hour, but kills skeletons before they can stack (seriously, the exploding ones almost NEVER appear), or my damage is low enough to let them stack up but the explosion isn't strong enough to kill other skeletons. If 50% of my DPS can kill skeletons, then 100% of my DPS being auto-dealt to enemies will kill them too quickly for them to stack in the first place. Skeletom only has his rare gear, which I'm sure isn't helping. Trying to farm for jeweled chests to get his epic gear, at least, but that's luck-based, sooo...Maybe having a higher skele-spawn chance would mitigate some kind of issue, but I won't know until it actually drops for me. I still can't fully wrap my mind around my damage being high enough for the explosion to deal fatal damage while ALSO being low enough to not kill monsters too quickly. I believe Erika did it, but I just still don't understand how.

I think Omniclicking can even help to reduce the HP of the skeletons.
