Introduction
This is a very short guide to "help" you die 1000 times in order to get the achievement "Don't Give Up" with minimum player interaction.

It's very unlikely that someone would unlock this over the course of 2 or 3 playthroughs even while aiming for the hardest achievements! So if you're not planning on playing this game for 400 hours and still want to get every achievements, follow along this guide!

My guide is very easy, you'll have to travel to a room where you'll be attacked by Dirks after dying and respawning.

Walkthrough
First, teleport to East area then go north to this door


After the tunnel, go west and through the 8-modules gate


Continue until the elevator and lose all you health point except one in this room


In the next room, the two Dirks will attack you as soon as you enter, making it a perfect loop of dying and respawning


You can leave the game running, do something much more interesting with your life and even hit windows+tab, you'll continue dying in the background.
Conclusion
I haven't timed it but it isat the very least 3 hours of idling to get the achievement.

Pros:
  • You can do something else
  • It doesn't matter if you're too good at this game if you have time to idle it in the background

Cons:
  • You'll need 8 modules
  • It's quite long

Surely there are other rooms where enemies attacks you when respawning but I stumbled into this one and went with it.

Screenshots by me, they are so good looking <3

Someone said like three years ago that it wasn't working anymore but I never went back to check :/

It's too bad that I'm so good at this game that I can't even die AFK. Oh, how I suffer.

theres a spot in south zone somewhere where if you head to a boss down some stairs and go back up after the fight, theres enemies right next to you

You can make it even faster by dashing into the fire thingy to the right of the door each time you respawn, you have to make inputs though, macros are a thing, but the game will need to stay in focus for that.

Another option is the area right before the large frog tent camp in the lake city(not before the boss, the one near the teleport pad). Go to 1 HP, enter the area from below and just tape down your up arrow and go do other stuff.
