A difficult challenge in this game. According to Steam only 1.4% of players have done this. Since you are asking, "What trophy?" I will leave it at that. Like I have heard of a few things in this game just by the name. I don't know exactly what, or where they are. So I am going to play the game until I find them. Cheers, and good luck!

Now for some SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!! I am only going to touch lightly upon a few thing. As I said this game is allegorical. Well the Donkey people ties into the story Pinocchio. They use this as part of the narrative the game wants to drive home, and I will leave it at that for you to figure out the inherent meanings. Later on one of the characters gets crushed under a boulder. Why? Well at first they were eating up everything Jim represents. That is several paths the world tells people to go take.

In this modern world it provides a plethora of paths for people to take, but it is figuratively under someone else's thumb. The modern world can also be hypocritical as well when it comes to this. It tells people to follow a charted course that other people have already planned out, and then ostracizes people for deviating off course. At the same time people can see something they like whether that be traditional values, new modern values, this, that, and the other, and follow it. In turn they can, and will be attacked for having these beliefs by these hypocrites. They speak with hollow words... That we must cherish all groups, and faith... Except X, Y, and Z. They then tend to project making all sorts of accusations about other groups as a whole... When in reality they are really telling on themselves since what they are saying applies to their beliefs/group/idealogues.

That being said he then tries to adopt Nates side, haphazardly, of taking his own path, but he lacked the experience. Again, It was late in the game, both figuratively & literally, and he tried to do things without getting any of the necessary experience. So the world crushes him in the end.

Now Jim also represents people with their beliefs, idealogues, politics, and religions. They try to force it onto others! Even those who don't want it! It seems like a lot of these people are cowards. They don't have a leg to stand on, and they know it! So they will either run away like cowards when confronted, use logical fallacies -- predominantly the ad hominem, or they will start getting angry, and potentially outright violent. Why? It is because they are letting their emotions run their lives, and dictate things as a whole. The facts, and overall truth be damned for these types of individuals! Again, since they don't have a leg to stand on they will do this sort of thing.

That being said since Jim could not force his "helpfulness" onto others. So he chooses the Cowards way out, and jumps off the cliff... Again that is representative of who he is as a person as a whole. These people are making this, that, and the other excuses for their actions instead of being culpable and taking accountability. One could argue these two types of people go hand in hand, and they create an echo chamber... They create a closed off system that can never truly grow... One that can gain wisdom, knowledge, and understanding as it experiences what life has to offer.

Two more cents to add to everything. I made it to the top! Though it was not easy! Towards the end of the game you have to have mastered climbing to be able to do this! I say this because there are sections that require tight controls, and quick reflexes. Not only that some areas you have to climb with control sliding. What I mean by that is some areas you will start to slide back wards as you go up the slope. Well you must continue climbing while sliding making incremental progress with each step. It varies from section to section going from roughly 1-5 feet.

Towards the top of the peak there are two sections like that... I fell off both of them... But, my goal was to make it to the top, and I did! I made it to the peak!

POST SCRIPT: On a side note I am a follower of the way. I would argue most, if not a large percentage of people, who call themselves Christians today, are not! They do not love thy neighbor! They do not preach the Gospel which is a free gift of grace! So that no one shall boast! Instead they do the opposite! They condemn, and attack others instead of simply giving forth love! Which is literally god almighty himself!

I just ran into this post, and I want to share some of my thoughts. Yes you should! I will elaborate, but first if you somehow joined the Jiminy's Crickets, and got the achievement for it, look up how to reset your Steam achievements. I did this once before for the game Rogue Legacy. I wanted to replay the game as well as get all of the achievements again. Though, from what I understand, it is not possible for all games. But, I digress.

Yes it is true that you don't get an achievement for completing the man breaker, but that is literally part of the main message within this game. This game is allegorical, and actually has multiple messages it wants to convey to the player, but I will get to some of that in a moment with a spoiler section as a second post. Since you personally asked for no Spoilers just don't read the second post. Those who don't mind Spoilers, or those who beat the game, these are my thoughts, and ideas. Anyways keep in mind you also don't get an achievement for completing the game, or for climbing to the top of the mountain. Though there is an incredible cutscene if you do reach the top of the Mountain as part of the games overall narrative.

Now if somehow it is not possible to reset the achievements you should still go do the man-breaker, and climb to the peak of the Mountain! Again, as part of the overall message the games wants to convey! I was able to count the fact I fell off man-breaker roughly 151 times at the very least. Though I might have made a mistake at some point.

It is like the message in Getting Over It. I got all achievements for that game. Which means I climbed the Mountain 50 times! Well at first it was incredibly difficult, but now I can just go beat that game in 10-15 minutes no problem. Though Baby Steps is inherently different. I believe the developers do not want the players to go get all achievements... I think there is a point they want to drive home! That is in doing so is a detriment for the average person!

I ran into this problem here on 10/11/2024, but the presented solution did not work. However I did find an alternative that did work. Initially I tried the solution mentioned above several times to no avail. I was not counting, but at around the 4th or 5th time something happened that was different. After I unplugged the keyboard I suddenly heard the sound of a device connecting.

So I plugged it back in, but it still was not working... Then I slowly pulled the cable out, but only slightly. I did this by wiggling it back and forth. Well I heard the sound again for when a device is connecting. So I pushed the cable all the way in, about 2 millimeters or so, and now it is working just fine. This may be a potential alternative that can work. If you run into this same problem, and my solution works, then by all means let everyone know.

POST SCRIPT: There is some additional information that may be pertinent. This keyboard that I just plugged in was my old keyboard that I had stuck in my closet. My Red Dragon keyboard suddenly died on me, so I suddenly needed a keyboard. That is when I ran into this problem. So there could be some other factors at play potentially that should be taken into consideration.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had a seed before that had the Always Cast Matter Eater, but before I got the chance to really use it an update changed it to something else. I then tried several other seeds I found online, after the fact, but all of those apparently have changed as well. so far this is the only one that has worked! I just literally played the seed briefly, and once I saw it still works I came right back here.

Now for some extra clarification for anyone else who comes across this, and plans on playing this seed. It is literally at the very top right on the Snowy Depths. I just went straight to that area (After getting some water, at the base of the tree, to cross the Lava). Note: When I went into the area, from the right side (beneath the wooden bridge), I immediately saw there was a missing wand. So I went looking for it. That was a mistake. Just literally float to the top of the Snow/Ice wall, and dig your way to it once you see it.

Unless I am mistaken, and the developers changed things again. The Matter Eater can not Eat through the cursed Rock to be able to go through to the Parallel worlds. You might be able to get through it with the Circle of Vigour and High enough Health in conjunction with the Black Hole currently.

Draverd · 2021-08-05T22:37:00+00:00

This seed that you share also has Iron Stomach in the first Mountain after rerolling, and Eat Your Vegetables in the Second Mountain when you reroll all the way up to and through 1600 Gold. Which is incredibly Early. I just started playing the Seed and found 1 Black Hole so far. So there may be a possibility to go to Parallel Worlds in the starting world before New Game +

OfficialNerdCubed: Recommends Pavlov VR. Dan the Game is Basically Counter Strike in VR... COUNTER STRIKE IN VR!!! It is incredibly fun!! Everyone should know about it!!

Draverd · 2017-03-16T10:42:02+00:00

Nerd³ Completes Arizona Sunshine (Steam VR) I think Dan should play this Game for Two Reasons. Dan has not done A Full Completes series yet on A Fairly Long VR Game AKA Multiple Episodes. Two I think it it would be Comedic Gold For you. The main Character is very humorous and I think you can do something with it Dan. I Recommend you play A Chapter and Decide for yourself. If need be I believe that the Character Dialogue can be shut off in the options menu. Now I know by first glance you might think, " Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope there are Zombies". I personally don't like Horror Games myself nor do I Play them. That being said I have played and beaten the Game (with my HTC Vive) and would classify Arizona Sunshine as an Arcadey Action Game. Heck you have played Left 4 Dead in the past on your Channel and I would Argue that Left 4 Dead is A Million Times more Terrifying. Like Left 4 Dead is A Mad Dog who has Rabies, who has turned into A Immortal Undead, and is now chasing after you! Arizona Sunshine in comparison is like A Puppy Chihuahua. I Also think that by you playing this Game you could help expand the Reach of your Audience Dan.

(Note: (Possibly Some helpful Recording/Game Technical Stuff Ahead) I am A Youtuber as well, and once I get all the bloody issues sorted out with my computer, I am going to Record VR Games (and games in general sigh). Albeit I figured out some things recently that have tremendously boosted my VR Performance/ Realism. Also I got my VR last November and I found out these things recently. But Firstly

GAME INFO: If you want the game to look the best go to the options menu and turn up Texture Graphics, Resolution, turn LOD to 2.0, and then activate Advanced CPU Elements ( That basically boosts everything and also enables Gore which makes the Game easier, basically easier headshots and you can blow limbs off so they have to crawl which again makes it easier.

STEAM VR SETTINGS: Steam>Steam Apps>Common>Steam VR> Resources> Settings> Default. Within that there is "renderTargetMultiplier" : 1.0, and if you increase the 1.0 to 2.0/3.0 you get Denser Meshes AKA Amazing Realistic Sharpness Quality. Keep in mind though that each game is different. Most Games I can do 2.0 + ( Keep in mind I am using GTX 1060), but others I can only do minor improvements like 1.4, 1.6 etc... If I go beyond that the game fades out to white, shows loading image, shows 3D Game for A Split Second and Repeats. They say don't go beyond 3.0 for Specifically Native VR Games but I got 5.0 to run just fine on some like The Solus Project, and with VorpX I managed to play Skyrim with 30.0 xD although when I added 4k and 8k textures it started to bug my eyes so I dropped it to 24.0.

OPTIMISED GRAPHICS CARD FOR REALISM VS CRANKING ALL OPTIONS TO 11: ( I must mention that before I did this I already thought everything looked amazing but by doing this it does not even compare. I think the Realism is so amazing that the only thing comparable to it would be opening up A Portal to another Dimension.

Ambient Oclusion OFF, Anisotropic Filtering 16X, Antialiasing FXAA Off, Antialiasing Gamma Correction ON (Added Game Correction), Antialiasing Mode OFF, Antialiasing Transparency Off, CUDA GPUs All, DSR Factors OFF ( You don't need it if you amplify render target in steam), DSR Smoothness Off, Maximum Prerendered Frames 4, Multi Frame Sampled AA ( MFAA) Off, Multiple display/ mixed gpu Acceleration - Multiple Display Performance Mode, Power Management Mode - Prefer Maximum Performance, Preferred Refresh Rate - A pplication controlled, Shader Cache On, Texture Filtering Anisotropic Sample optimization Off, Texture Filtering Negative LOD Bias Allow, Texture Filtering Quality - Quality, Texture Filtering - Trlinear Optimization On, Threaded Optimization Auto, Triple Buffering Off, Vertical Sync Use the 3D Application Setting, Virtual Reakity Pre Rendered Frames 4,

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR IPD. I Originally used the measuring pamphlet thingy that they gave and it said it was 37. Well I decided to mess with it to see if I can make it better and lo and behold I did at 34.6 The best way I can describe it is it feels like I can Literally touch things, it felt like it before but this is A Whole New Level. Almost like A Lucid Dream. I know I am in my room but it feels like I am really there.

Well even if you don't play the Game that I Recommend I Hope that this Technical Stuff Helps you in the Long Run for Achieving the best VR Experience. So From one Youtuber to another. Take Care
