Easy “Late Night Gamer!” achievement
Druids are the faceless enemies in red robes that appear in Hypno Tower at Mermaid Cliffs. After its Boss is defeated, a druid can also be found in Mayor Scuttlebutt’s abandoned seaside retreat, which is faster to reach because of the nearby warp squid. Kill a druid between 00:00 (midnight) and 01:00 to get the “Late Night Gamer!” achievement.
Save the game just before the room with a first druid. Exit the game, and set the system time to midnight. Open the game, and load the saved game file. Kill the druid to get the “Late Night Gamer!” achievement.
Easy “Pikeball Power!” achievement
The Pike Ball is one of the three basic magic forms available at the item shop. Unlike the other two forms, it and its advanced versions remain active upon use and drain magic continuously. Refills are required to maintain the same Pike Ball for two minutes. Magic Potions cannot be used because using one will terminate an active Pike Ball. To get the “Pikeball Power!” achievement, play “Battle Tower”, which has a large number of enemies that can drop magic refills, as well as jars that always contain refills. Changing rooms with a Pike Ball active will not cancel it. The tower can be completed with the same Pike Ball. If available, also use the Magic Mode costume to reduce the rate at which the Pike Ball drains magic.
Easy “Play Dead!” achievement
Early on, the zombie Rottytops will give you a puppy that you will then give to the chef. After getting the Tasty Meal from the chef, attack her puppy to get the “Play Dead!” achievement.
