You gonna need a lvl3 Cleric.
Equip a pocket cleric on a lvl3 cleric.

The Truth

Feed it.
Feed 300 heroes to the Maw.

Who is a Good Boy?

Pat the pettable ones.
Right click a Berserker, Ranger, Sharkmancer, Druid (Wolf), Wukong, or Biomancer in the shop (including pre-game selection) or team.

Miscellaneous Achievements
Only Cleric Run

Defeat the boss only buying Clerics and items.
Buying heroes other than clerics will void the run. I went for a team comp with 2 clerics with healing/haste items and the king with damage/armor items. Wrath Crown (from Tyrant Ruler achievement) can help with this.

The Toy Maker

Get a MvP with Cleric lvl3.
Allow your lvl 3 cleric to do most of the damage in a fight.

Karghlas' Rampage

Cause 666+ damage in a single hit.
Imp is a good hero to use for this alongside damage and haste items. The team composition I used was 2 Imps and 2 Clerics on the zone 3 boss.

Tyrant Ruler

Show off your power!
Kill 200 enemies with the King.

Pacifist?

Win a combat without dealing damage with heroes, the King or items.
In simple words: use Deep or Yokai synergy

Father of Kaiju

Grow every kind of Krasis to its maximum potential
With Biomancer, have every Krasis from each Zone and their mutations at max size. The Biomancer shouts text once the mutation reaches full potential. You can check your in-game challenges to view which Krasis you have left, Z1 = Zone 1, etc.
This WILL take at least 4 runs, each with three Lv 3 Biomancers, and one non Lv 3 Biomancer.

  • Default
  • Poison (HP/INT)
  • Broodmother (HP/Haste)
  • Devourer (HP/Armor)

I think they might have changed the condition for the achievement in one of the newer updates, only poped with 4 clerics.
Adept Faust [天究星]  [author] 18 Jul @ 11:37am 
No u can have any number of clerics as long as u start with cleric and dont buy other heroes
Ziranoss 18 Jul @ 11:34am 
i have an issue with the cleric only run, I have completed zone 1 and 2 with 2 level 3 clerics and still no achievement pop ? any ideas ? Do i need 4 Clerics ? ( side note i never bought heros besides clerics)

finding "Father of Kaiju" quite obnoxious to complete

@luku756 I don't know if you're still having trouble but 7 trophies isn't a lot, try getting to a higher number by avoiding ? marks and treasures, just get into fights, you can definitely go higher than 7
