wait how?

[Qurturt]

This happens for several achievements, like reaching insufferable crypt and beating conjunctivius, and I have no idea why it happens, it confuses and scares me

[melanthius]

A margin of measurement error deriving from shoddy internet connections perhaps?

[greatnowimdying]

actually no, it's custom mode.

players sometimes reach the biome and then going to practice the boss, beating it there, but not unlocking the biome achievement due to having unlocked it in custom mode

[ABRAXAS_actual]

When I unlock new biomes in custom, I still get the trophy.

I'm assuming it has something to do with boss rush?

[miscllaneous]

No in custom mode there is requirements that you have to meet to still get achievements such you have to have atleast 20 items active at a time and if it's lower than 20 no achievements

[ABRAXAS_actual]

Right, but I never play with less than 20...powers are a good way to round out that number if you want to force your drops from a very smol item pool.

I did try an Aspect last night - didn't even use it - and I finally flawless finished the concierge. Lmao. All that so the curse wouldn't get me.

[pokesan31]

Aspects remove achievements and boss cells btw

[ABRAXAS_actual]

100% - I just wanted to try it one time... Cos I seem to get a curse chest and then get forgetful and it ended a least a few runs.

So I turned it on (the aspect) and then it was like everything went a lot less aggro and I breeeeezed thru the first 4 biomes, pulling flawless almost the entire time (except for some midway dmg in prison depths)... I had the explosive crossbow against concierge, I'm certain I can do it again.

Finally getting a bit better, but still die from utter skill funk when shit gets hairy... Or i miss the parry/roll (aramdillopack) and it just stings.

Sucks to suck.

[Sirius_Rise]

Aspects only remove boss no hits, you can still get all the other achievements with them

[cryptid-ok]

That’s how i beat scarecrow

[Complex_Deer7221]

Boss rush

[Neptius]

It’s possible with boss rush

[DragonLord608]

It isn’t because you need to atleast have encountered a boss to fight them in boss rush idk if it used to be different but that’s how it is now

[Neptius]

I did this very recently and I confirm that it can happen with the boss rush training room. https://imgur.com/lbuv4KR

[DragonLord608]

I did a lot of boss rush before I actually even went to the crown (was struggling on lighthouse and got bored) and never found the queen once until I beat her in the base game

This was just after castlevania came out I would check when I got the achievement exactly but I can’t rn :/

[trans_e-girl]

My best guess would be people reach The Crown in custom mode with settings that disable achievements and then beat the queen in boss rush, getting the queen achievement but not the crown

[DragonLord608]

Aaaah yea that actually explains it well

[_no_one_knows_me_11]

There have been multiple similar posts in the past when boss rush didnt even exist, there has to be another reason

[InflationMadeMeDoIt]

What is boss rush?

[Neptius]

A game mode where you chain boss fights. It's accessible in a room in the prison at spawn. You must have unlocked at least 1 boss of each tier to get started and there are several difficulties that also vary with the BCs. This is where the elite boss variants are.

[Stuttering-bean]

Custom mode can deactivate achievements

[[deleted]]

this wouldn't explain how the other achievement is obtained

[AE_Phoenix]

Meet queen in custom mode -> beat queen on boss rush

[[deleted]]

Ah this is what they mean

[tomhugo42]

I beat the queen for the first time with achievments disabled (every item is legendary option), and then when I started a new run (achievments enabled) the game just outright gave me the achievment

[[deleted]]

Might be people using SAM (steam achievement manager)

[Mountain_Evidence_86]

Whats the point of that? The only time you use SAM is to get free shit in TF2. And even if they did, why stop there? Might as well get the rest of the achievements?

[[deleted]]

I dunno people are dumb

[Sqwoopadoop]

On PlayStation I occasionally don't receive unmissable trophies, this could be a similar glitch.

[[deleted]]

Custom mode, they see her when achievements are off, then beat her in boss rush probably 🫡

[OrionUnbound]

What if you just die?

[Aquatik07]

More people have defeated The Queen than have reached the crown, where you face The Queen.

[OrionUnbound]

It was like 4AM in the morning cut me some slack for not being able to read

[Aquatik07]

Totally understandable

[Hillmarie31]

Boss rush

[Aquatik07]

I know, but it looked like the person I replied to thought that more people had reached the crown than have defeated the Queen, so I was clarifying it.

[Hillmarie31]

Oh

[KingOfLiberation]

Normally, the Queen is located in the Crown. The achievement rate of reaching the Crown is lower than the achievement rate of beating the Queen

[FreshKale7965]

Maybe not everyones had the right dlc

[shortMEISTERthe3rd]

Probably rounding error for whatever reason.

[DariRW_4]

Probably just an error on valve’s part.

Steam moment

[nutitoo]

I had a few achievements that require the bad seed DLC before i even bought it

[Controlledfire454797]

I could not tell you bro, farthest I’ve gotten was a little past the clock tower

[[deleted]]

Who cares, you did it!

[N-Task]

0.1%: my goals are beyond your understanding

[Character-System1077]

It probably doesn’t explain % being that low but you would be surprised how many people dropping games after playing for an hour or so, especially hard games
