On the quest to get all achievements on Steam...

[vegetaman]

Just tonight I got all Valor Armor worn and the Full Plate one, bringing me to 38 out of 40 achievements unlocked. My last two to go are the hardest ones though...

-Old School Mode
-Hard Mode

So I was thinking I would try and tackle both of these at the same time on a new playthrough.

Just how crazy of an idea would this be? How much will this drive me nuts?

Since you clearly are quite experienced with the game already, I'd say go for it! It'll be a fun challenge!

Oh? Some people don't play on the hardest difficulty from the start? :p

Are you someone that enjoys challenges and frustration? If so I say go for it!

Okay, after literally a year of not doing this... I'm doing it. Currently on the third floor. Debating on fighting the slimes or just continuing on without... Hard + Old School mode has been fairly brutal so far. My team is a minotaur fist fighter, a lizardman rogue (dodge), a lizardman rogue (assassin), and an insectoid firemage.

My first session in the game used ironman/single use crystals; and it was quite an experience.
(But I still haven't beaten the Trickster. )

And I did it, yes! That was absolutely brutal. Dismantler Vault and Fighter Challenge about wrecked me completely, as did any triple Gormorog fight. But I did it!

Trickster in Grimrock 1?

I think you missed the Forum you are in

True enough ; I must have forgotten that there was a hard mode in LoG, and just assumed.
