Introduction (skippable, but comedic sort of)
"So how did it feel like to finish 100%ing boneworks in the last few hours...?"

Me: Well umm....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


AHHHHHHHHHHH!


AHHHHHH!


HELP! HELP! HELP!


♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥, $#IT!


RELOAD DAMN IT!


I KEEP TAKING ACCIDENTAL SCREENSHOTS!


OH $#IT! OH $#IT! OH $#IT!


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


F***ING RELOAD!


I HATE THIS SO MUCH! I HATE THIS SO MUCH!


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ♥♥♥♥! ♥♥♥♥! ♥♥♥♥!


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH STOP!!!


and ecetera, ecetera...

Me finally coming back to reality: It was well... ummm... scary as ♥♥♥♥... but I figured out a way to calm myself while doing this after a while...

*scoffs* Stress Level Zero? More like Stress Level 80 million. ♥♥♥♥ these achievements!

"and how did you do that?"

Well, keep reading...
Pre-Requisite
You need to have Fantasy Land unlocked. I completed this a long time ago and won't be demonstrating how to do this here. So once you unlock Fantasy Land and unlock the playable arena mode, then you can come back to this guide...
Headset King
Okay, so the goal of this achievement is simple. Just rack up a total of 100 crablet kills without being killed. This can be completed at any given time and does not have to be done all in one sitting. It also does not have to be completed strictly in the brawl mode and just has to be 100 kills racked up across all modes in the Fantasy Land Arena...

So you can do the brawl mode and set it so that only crablets spawn, with each gate having 20 of them at most, with the most amount fighting you at once being set to 3 at the lowest possible number due to our fear... Completing this fight twice will net you 120 crablet kills since there are three gates and 20 crablets each meaning 60 kills x 2 is 120 kills.

OR

You can just try to go for the other Fantasy Land requirements and you might rack up those 100 kills...

So now you're thinking, "Great 100 scary kills full of torture" and you're right... but the secret to how I dealt with it goes like this and it involves a game mechanic I did not use very much while playing through the Boneworks campaign, which I forgor was built in...

The time slow mechanic

Now I know, I know, I know what you're thinking, "REALLY?! THAT'S IT! THAT DOESN'T SOLVE MY PROBLEM!".

Well hear me out! To be honest, if it weren't for this game mechanic and how it is completely unlimited (and does not speed back up without you telling it to), I think I would've just used SAM or I would've never 100%ed this game. This mechanic however did the trick for me...

When time was slowed down a lot, I really felt like I was in more control of the enemies and especially the crablets. I felt like I had more time to shoot them and thus less time was spent panicking and failing to kill them, because they were moving so slow that I could easily aim to shoot and kill them with the golden 1911 with three shots and then they die.

BEAR IN MIND - This method of completing this achievement will make getting this achievement significantly slower, but it's very ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worth it, if you're afraid of these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like I am. It's much better feeling calm rather than freaking the ♥♥♥♥ out the entire time...

As the addage goes: "Slow and steady wins the race"

So yeah for this achievement, just rack up 100 crablet kills over time.
Fantasy Land Requirements
For this one all you have to do is the following:

- Survive to Round 10 in survival mode (and I even completed round 10 just to be sure)
(By the way, one round is 4 waves of enemies, so you'll have to complete 40 waves of enemies)

- Complete all challenges on Hard Difficulty

- Complete all trials on Hard Difficulty

Once you complete those, the achievement will unlock and if "Headset King" did not unlock for you already for some reason, like how it did not for me, then getting the "Fantasy Land" achievement should unlock "Headset King", assuming that you have murdered 100 crablets without dying.

Again, whenever you see those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crablets and feel scared, just slow down time, be calm, breathe, aim and shoot!

(The binding to slow down time varies depending on your VR headset, but for Wiindows Mixed Reality, I press the left d-pad twice (although I am not using the default settings (I think) as I think I am using a community made control scheme for WMR).

SO YEAH TL;DR:

SLOWING DOWN TIME CAN REALLY CALM YOU DOWN TO COMPLETE THESE REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE THE SPEED AT WHICH THE CRABLETS MOVE IS A LOT SLOWER, MEANING THAT YOU CAN AIM YOUR SHOTS MORE CAREFULLY TO KILL THE CRABLETS FASTER IF YOU BREATHE AND KEEP CALM WHILE TIME IS SLOWED.

ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU SHOOT ENEMIES (THAT STAND ON TWO LEGS) IN THE HEAD, YOU WILL CONSERVE MORE BULLETS TO HAVE MORE CHANCES TO CAREFULLY AIM AND SHOOT THE CRABLETS DEAD.

Thank-you for the info, but I am also too scared to even touch them. So shooting them keeps them as far away from me as possible. lol

Admittedly, if there are 3 or so other crablets charging at you while your blades are balls deep inside a crablet, you're in trouble, but at least you're most likely going to survive :thXD:

Alternatively, use the mega strat of holding two light melee weapons and charging with both at the same time.

One kit kills most enemies, doesn't require reloading. I completed all challenges and trials first try, and went to level gazillion in deathmatch, only stopping myself when I got bored.

Crablets usually don't die immediately, but you can poke into one and keep stabbing it with the other weapon until it dies.
