This video tells me that I ain't getting that achievement. I would have never imagined there were so many levels. Not even Abigail can beat the first stage and that girl is capable of eating the quartz I gave her.
I literally just thought the exact same thing. I thought it was like, 3, maybe 4 levels, but there's so many levels?? And there's BOSSES? Like oh my god, screw this achievement, I do not care lmao.
I beat the first chapter after painfully building up a strategy and genuine to god thought it'd be the end of the minigame..... Imagine my reaction when I realized there was more to it.
Also don't forget about the secret achievement of completing this mini game without dying once. On Xbox, 0.02% of gamers have this. It is next to impossible.
I finally managed to get that trophy a few minutes ago. It is actually not that hard, just need a little bit of getting used to the game. The worst part is that this trophy is mostly luck. In my "succeeding try" I ended up with 15 (!) coins after the very first leven and had I think 26 or something after the second. It is all about Coin drops early on. And later, especially in 2-4(river) and 3-3(lots of fly guys) it is also a bit about having luck with the spawns of the mobs and the drops. Again, in my succeeding try I had a sherrif star drop in each of the just mentioned levels PLUS i ended up with a machine gun for the final boss which basically kills him within seconds if you have damage upgrade 3. In short, the trophy isnt that much about skill, its more about patience and luck.
A very important tip for this minigame that many people don't mention, even though they use it to win, is to try to move diagonally from enemies, and shoot diagonally when possible.Apart from flying monsters, the normal mobs either move linearly up down left right, or sometimes move diagonally but way slower.If you only try to shoot vertically and horizontally , and not diagonally, you're shooting yourself in the foot.
The tip of sleeping on it and taking your time really helped me. I was doing so bad when I kept playing it in the same sitting but now I play it once a day and I'm only on my third day and I get very close to completing it, I was on the last stage before.
Its unfortunate you're not more popular, this was extremely informative and the last clip was humble. Also theres an achievement on xbox (assuming its on steam too) where 0.03% of the people who played stardew valley beat Journey of the Prarie King without dying once...
If you beat the game, it lets you play it through a second time on harder difficulty but you get to keep your upgrades. I beat it a second time. Then I played the third playthrough and got to the graveyard before running out of lives. Even so, I still struggled with Fector's Challenge. Took me another few weeks to actually beat the entire game without dieing once! Finally... got every achievement in this game.
Another tip, which most people should start noticing relatively quickly, is that land monsters move slowly when they walk diagonally to chase you, which gives you more time to shoot them in return. Always shoot diagonally when it makes sense instead of wasting time valuable time aligning yourself to land vertical/horizontal shots.
@@htsandy3136 I've forgotten the controls, but I imagine it's just pressing a horizontal and vertical shooting key at the same time (on PC). Just be aware, if you move at the same time as shooting diagonal, you might get locked into only moving horizontal or vertical. So no moving and shooting diagonal at the same time.
i finished the first level w/o dying thanks to your tips! but i died in the second one because i still couldn't believe i didn't die once in the first one and i felt the pressure to not die again so i panicked and used all my lives lol i'll try again some other day to finish this game. thanks again for this!
Little tip: The reason the tombstone makes enemies run away is because you kill them when you touch them. So there’s really no danger in picking up the items near the entrances. Really good video, never thought this mini game was this long lol
jej, i beat it and had 8 lifes left :D Luck does really help, and dmg and attack speed upgrades are very important. As for the bosses you dont have to dodge bullets, just stay behind the obstacle and shoot whenever the pattern allows it. It takes longer but is 100% safe But you wont do it on ur first try.
Same, I don't have enough talent and patience to do it. I tried maybe 30 times and the farest I went is stage 2 level one, but most often i just get killed on stege 1 level 3, so yeah. It's impossible for me, personally...
I know this is an old video, but the tombstone power makes you invincible and you don't need to hide between cover to avoid damage. Just ran onto them and they will die instantly
I noticed that when you used the tombstone you didn't use it for what it's actually used for, being that you can run into enemies to instantly kill them
Okay but can I point out, your comment about muscle memory actually convinced me not to just give up. I can now consistently beat the first desert level, which is literally nothing but still leagues better than I ever thought I'd be.
Luck does not affect the gold outcome, it is totally random, on a lucky day I tried it around 25 times and sometimes I only got 2 golds after the first level, and sometimes 11 golds... same thing happened on a unlucky day... people can think what they want, but most people saying luck affect it, probly only played the game on lucky days... It just make people more selfconfident on lucky days, that's it.
Thanks for the video! Really helpful. I was having issues and I actually didnt think "stonger bullets = less hits". it seems like common sense but man im stupid hahaha. Also didnt realize lucky days effected the arcade games. Thanks a lot, finally got those achivements!
theres a way easier way to kill the first 2 bosses just stand infront of the bosses shields, walk right/left before he starts his patterns and if he does the one where he moves from middle to the left and then right side just stay put and aim diagonally at him... he usually is dead once he gets exhausted and stands in the open and if not all it takes are a few more prefires before he repeats his patterns and for the final boss.. if you can just save a star buff and wait for him to do the pattern where he summos minons its an easy kill even if you didnt upgrade your bulletdmg
not sure if you were aware of it or not, or just dodging stuff out of habit but while you have the tombstone power up and are in zombie form you will steamroll/ eat anything you touch. so you can take the few seconds to do a couple rounds of mowing down mobs, pack man pellet style, and perhaps find a better position before it wears off. (without warning) kinda have to be careful about the blood thirst for that reason. great video though, thanks. (i know this is a bit late but i just started playing again)
Bad tips: use abilities as soon as you receive them. If you get a bad one and dont use it, then the next one you pick up is automatically used. You can also combine power ups. Shotgun and wheel has even bigger radius.
I just recently beat the entire game with only one death. I died in the stage right before the final boss and I even beat her without dying (I used the star) for anyone attempting this just keep trying. I beat the game the first time after the second time I made it past the first boss and after that it had become easy to beat. I have been playing this for weeks trying to get the fectors challenge achievement
Actually, the tombstone power-up can be useful because if you run into monsters they also die, however, i haven't tested this with the stronger monsters that take multiple hits or stronger bullets to defeat.
TL;DR Get luck food for placebo effect Shoot diagonally when possible Gold > Powerups Play as safe as you can Dont go to a corner when flying enemies can just appear when you are standing Boots are pretty useless in the early game, so just buy it once or save money. Get sleep in real life, dont just sit there playing your 45th time trying to beat it. I think thats all
+diviewolves and another game i reach the normal last stage with 6 life left.... look promising but then i get swarm by the fuckin red flying thingy because i cant upgrade the bullet damage (1 gold short when i shop came final time) fuck this shit man
+diviewolves Yaa, took me a ton of tries before I beat it, but once u do it just gets easier n easier, u get used to the patterns/enemies. Hang in there bro u will beat it.
Oh hey i love this game! Kinda weird that you had to buy Stardew Valley in order to play it, but meh, whatever :3 Ive spend so many hours in this game(in the game within the game...), totally love it!
sometimes when you are staying near the spawn place of the monsters, the monsters will spawn 2 or 1 more fucking tile/s then where they should spawn xD
I’m trying to do it on iPhone, it’s quite literally THE hardest thing to control, play and pay attention to anything I highly doubt I will ever beat it
I don't know if this is considered cheating, but the first levels can be beat very easily by just standing in the corner and shooting diagonally and to the sides.
Is it just me, or sometimes when shooting and moving at the same time, my character doesn't move at all? It has fucked me up multiple times and it's fucking bullshit.
Yeah if you press too many keys at once its like wtf and you freeze, but if you are quick with releasing the last button before pressing the next you'll get the movement down. I've gotten to the final boss a few times but still haven't beaten it.
Managed to get to the final boss, because I was so stressed, I got her to half hp and then died in the stupidest way ever.. 2 secs after I’m revived I killer her :( I’m so saaaad
I like this game and will finish it at some point but the no dead trophy thats impossible for me not even gonna bother going for it I know myself and I aint getting that in a trillion years junimo card is bullcrap though not even gonna try that anymore after hours I stil cant even beat the first level

Thunderhawk51 Yeah, me too, I pass. This mini game is too hard to be fun.
I thought the same thing, but when you get lucky and play it more and more it gets easier.
Which should not be a good design mantra. If it takes luck to succeed in the game, it is half-assed design, period.
Thunderhawk51 lmao
I literally just thought the exact same thing. I thought it was like, 3, maybe 4 levels, but there's so many levels?? And there's BOSSES? Like oh my god, screw this achievement, I do not care lmao.
Dying in the first level club where you at, meanwhile thinking that 3 "levels" was all you had to do, not 3 *stages*
I beat the first chapter after painfully building up a strategy and genuine to god thought it'd be the end of the minigame..... Imagine my reaction when I realized there was more to it.
GhostHunter I had the same reaction today. Was so hyped only for it to quickly end and see there's more to play.
It took me forever to beat the first stage, and then when i realized there were more I decided to give up on the platinum
Same then I looked on the wiki and saw there’s three worlds/chapters/levels/whatever you want to call them.
That was me today :'(
Also don't forget about the secret achievement of completing this mini game without dying once. On Xbox, 0.02% of gamers have this. It is next to impossible.

0.45 now

1 out of 160 ppl is hardly next to impossible 👍

i do this and still suck ass, i'd actually rather suck a homeless person's ass than play this game ever again.

15* ㅠㅠ

@@Devilsnightforlife thank you very much! I wasn't expecting a response and couldn't find info about it anywhere.
@@htsandy3136 No problem. It's been a few years since i last played but you can experiment around with the controls.
Someone had a look at the code, and luck doesn't affect journey of the prairie king.
This is is the BANE of my existence
Raul Rojas yeah, this stupid mini game is the bane of my existence right now.
you think thats hard, try the god damn junimo kart game... ZERO mercy
How do you unlock peripheral vision? Do you get it from Pierre?
meu02136 not sure it it's a joke or not
meu02136 you are most likely joking but just in case yeah a real life thing
it sometimes appears at the traveling cart, at least that's where i got it.
*sigh * You just look to their bullets
I got mine from Pierre on a Wednesday night at his shop.
Star+Wheel = Where did everyone go?
Burnt Taco Conspiracy Basic: Star, Nuke, Lightning, Wheel, machine gun, Triple Shot: Why is no one spawning?
Wheel + Triple Shot + Star + Machine Gun = The Bullet Hell
Oh my gosh thankyou so much! I'm rubbish at this minigame and I was stumped at how to beat it. This was extremely helpful, thanks! :3
i finished the first level w/o dying thanks to your tips! but i died in the second one because i still couldn't believe i didn't die once in the first one and i felt the pressure to not die again so i panicked and used all my lives lol i'll try again some other day to finish this game. thanks again for this!
saving a powerup for the final battle could also help out. Like a star.
I used all the tips and still fucking lost. I really, REALLY hate this type of minigame. I also suck at it so...
Neil Divins its sooo fucking frustrating i know
ditto. bullshit achievement is bullshit :(
Little tip: The reason the tombstone makes enemies run away is because you kill them when you touch them. So there’s really no danger in picking up the items near the entrances. Really good video, never thought this mini game was this long lol
The tombstone power up allows you to kill enemies on contact. Meaning you can temporarily kill enemies by simply touching them.
jej, i beat it and had 8 lifes left :D
Luck does really help, and dmg and attack speed upgrades are very important.
As for the bosses you dont have to dodge bullets, just stay behind the obstacle and shoot whenever the pattern allows it. It takes longer but is 100% safe
But you wont do it on ur first try.
Thank you so much for the tips, it helped me a lot! Finally managed to get Fector's Challenge and get all the achievements.
I can never do this in a million years

Bullet powerups can layer. For example, if you pick up a wheel and a machine gun, you can use both at the same time.
The way you speak reminds me of an airline pilot :)
:)
Okay but can I point out, your comment about muscle memory actually convinced me not to just give up.
I can now consistently beat the first desert level, which is literally nothing but still leagues better than I ever thought I'd be.
Wiki says luck has no effect on the RNG in the game.
But it is the wiki and the wiki was wrong with some parts
Sometimes going in with the placebo effect can improve ones motivation to the point of completing an otherwise impossible task.
KillTyrant, isn't it "nocebo" and not "placebo"? CGP Grey amiryt?
Luck does not affect the gold outcome, it is totally random, on a lucky day I tried it around 25 times and sometimes I only got 2 golds after the first level, and sometimes 11 golds... same thing happened on a unlucky day... people can think what they want, but most people saying luck affect it, probly only played the game on lucky days...
It just make people more selfconfident on lucky days, that's it.
This is true. The current source on the wiki is from a 2019 tweet by ConcernedApe (i.e. Eric Barone, the creator of the game).
Thanks for the video! Really helpful. I was having issues and I actually didnt think "stonger bullets = less hits". it seems like common sense but man im stupid hahaha. Also didnt realize lucky days effected the arcade games. Thanks a lot, finally got those achivements!
about 5 seconds into the video i just realized you can shoot diagonally. Thank you
the master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried
if you sit in a corner and shoot diagonally out of it then you cannot be touched. this works up until the flying thing levels
Just found out in some stages you just stay in the corner and shoot diagonally
Nice, thanks for the tips!
+OneClickEpic Welcome!!

I still can’t beat it I end up passing out every time
Really nice video explaining everything clearly. Sadly i don't think i'll ever be able to beat it since i'm not good at these types of mini games.
Very nice. Thanks for this.
+Katherine Hope u get the achievement!!
The tombstone makes you invincible for a few seconds
That's truly brilliant, thank you!
I've been trying to beat this minigame since the game released but nope. This was super helpful, though!
That feeling when your final boss is on last hit to death and you die... but I'm pro at that game now so I will try tomorrow. Wish me luck
not sure if you were aware of it or not, or just dodging stuff out of habit but while you have the tombstone power up and are in zombie form you will steamroll/ eat anything you touch. so you can take the few seconds to do a couple rounds of mowing down mobs, pack man pellet style, and perhaps find a better position before it wears off.

I broke my headphone trying to get past level 2, thanks
Another tip the skull bomb does some major damage to bosses so if possible keep one for the boss
Thanks for the tips!
I used to be pretty good at videogames back in the 80s but i don't think I'll ever be able to do this.
This is like watching someone in rainbow six siege solo vs five and win
Bad tips: use abilities as soon as you receive them. If you get a bad one and dont use it, then the next one you pick up is automatically used.

i liked the end^^
+IrgendeinMist Thx :)
Are you now able to do this in multiplayer or will you just run out of time?
man i gave it a good go but like damn. even the diggy goat mini game achievement in goat simulator wasn't this bad.
Got it thanks for the guides ❤️❤️
I didn't know luck had an effect on it...

Can you explain how to do it without dying from the 2:00 am Death time?
50th sub thanks for the guide
FYI: Luck level does not affect drops in Prairie King
praire king is very hard trying my best to get through it without dying
Did you do it?
ConcernedApe once said luck does not affect this game
thanks for the tips :)
okay but how do I get past the first level
Try to save a sheriff star for the last boss. I killed it in 5 seconds by bursting the shit out of her with the sheriff star
That is assuming you're lucky enough to get a Sherriff's Star. The RNG is fucking stupid for the mini-game.
Actually, the tombstone power-up can be useful because if you run into monsters they also die, however, i haven't tested this with the stronger monsters that take multiple hits or stronger bullets to defeat.
Also, you can combine power-ups.
But other wise, this video helped quite a bit, thanks.
yeah, i wish it'd let you know how long till the thombstone wears off tho as it gets you killed if you relie on the onhit kills.
@@clashcrafter if you know how the music goes when you pick it up, then you can tell when it's about to end
Such a great game. Great video also.
Subbed :D
The last level is a nightmare
TL;DR
Get luck food for placebo effect
Shoot diagonally when possible
Gold > Powerups
Play as safe as you can
Dont go to a corner when flying enemies can just appear when you are standing
Boots are pretty useless in the early game, so just buy it once or save money.
Get sleep in real life, dont just sit there playing your 45th time trying to beat it.
I think thats all
This is the last achievement I need to get without dying ! oh gawd this is going be hard
*impossible
i just died the last stage..... man oh man this is so annoying
+diviewolves the witch boss battle i mean
+diviewolves and another game i reach the normal last stage with 6 life left.... look promising
but then i get swarm by the fuckin red flying thingy because i cant upgrade the bullet damage (1 gold short when i shop came final time)
fuck this shit man
+diviewolves Yaa, took me a ton of tries before I beat it, but once u do it just gets easier n easier, u get used to the patterns/enemies.
Hang in there bro u will beat it.
diviewolves Are you doing it because of the achievement?
G Charles yes i am... i gave up long time ago man... its too much for me
the best run i've ever done is 1 times dead at last boss
Oh hey i love this game! Kinda weird that you had to buy Stardew Valley in order to play it, but meh, whatever :3

Petition for Stardew Valley to add a bot in Journey of The Prairie King as a teammate
And ofc choose between solo or duo
what i got from this video is that im never getting those two achievements
thanks a lot. been trying it for a while, first time I got to the forest levels. won't go for the secret achievement tho, fuck that xD
Yikes, I´m struggling with the fortress in the first zone. Didn´t know there were so many levels.
The prairie king game is like impossible on mobile
I think my keyboard can't handle too much input, so shooting diagonally makes me unable to walk certain directions.
The wiki specifically states luck does not effect prairie king
ThNks you very much!
+LifeNoLOveCGames Welcome!!
Thank you! :)
+Blute :)
I set aside this Prairie King thingy for a while, Prairie King mini game is very very Hard
Legend!
I personally have made it too screen 4 with about 7 tries ^^
if you have a teleport, use it during the first boss it teleports you behind him where i doesn't shoot
*The first two bosses
Me playing for the first time: this is just an arcade mode that has no story right?
Game: *evil laughter*
If you get the zombie power up, you can literally go eat enemies.
I don't know if this is considered cheating, but the first levels can be beat very easily by just standing in the corner and shooting diagonally and to the sides.
Ezra Schneider I do that, it's really helpful for when you get in a pinch.
if only i had good peripheral vision...
Save a Nuke for the boss.It cuts his XP in half
Is it just me, or sometimes when shooting and moving at the same time, my character doesn't move at all? It has fucked me up multiple times and it's fucking bullshit.
Yeah if you press too many keys at once its like wtf and you freeze, but if you are quick with releasing the last button before pressing the next you'll get the movement down. I've gotten to the final boss a few times but still haven't beaten it.
THE LUCK DAY DOES NOT AFFECT THE GAME
Managed to get to the final boss, because I was so stressed, I got her to half hp and then died in the stupidest way ever.. 2 secs after I’m revived I killer her :( I’m so saaaad
Can you make a video for tips of Junimo Kart please ?
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't even get past the first stage so finishing it......
Was so good until the very end. What the hell was that?? 'Beeee'?!?
I like this game and will finish it at some point but the no dead trophy thats impossible for me not even gonna bother going for it I know myself and I aint getting that in a trillion years
junimo card is bullcrap though not even gonna try that anymore after hours I stil cant even beat the first level
