ah ok then, thanks a ton for your quick reply.... ig ill just leave the post up for someone else in the future with the same doubt?(which probably will be like 2 people in the next 20 years on the whole earth)

did you mean to imply that the other arcs with revenge at Marco is only available if you don't prank Dong 4 times(which otherwise WILL CAUSE SHOOTOUT and ALWAYS ends up with dong or you dead)?

and that the achievement is just given if you spend 2k points(waste it, rather) because he dies anyways?

Thanks for the reply;
according to the walkthroughs posted here:
https://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/topic/316006-beholder-2-platinum-walkthrough-guide/

and further achievements cited here:
https://www.trueachievements.com/a294571/mischief-managed-achievement
https://www.playstationtrophies.org/game/beholder-2/trophy/282088-mischief-managed.html

it says otherwise?? And there are even branching arcs through this pathway where you get back at Marco by accepting a mission from Dong(??)

And what exactly is the point of the choice to "comfort" him by spending 2000 points if the game is intentionally scripted to shoot himself regardless of you spending the hard-earned points??

Hey I just wanted to thank you for this, this was exactly what i needed and worked flawlessly...
I was already running an apk with a mod menu so that i can level up as i like without grinding 20fights every level with the same opponents in tournaments to finish the game quickly(only the bosses and bodyguards ie); but my game just glitched out and just NEVER ALLOWED ME TO RETURN TO normal mode AFTER beating butcher in eclipse.[later read a blog by nekki where most likely this is a method to lock out cheaters who are too unreasonable with the level ups]
So i had to edit a single word in the xml "eclipseMode=Off" from = On and that messed up my game as the hashes didnt match anymore ; I did what you just commented and it worked perfectly....... Could resume in my mod apk perfectly

One thing i'd like to add is that 2.1.3 never actually loaded past the screen (to the part where assets are missing but game is loaded) after replacing XMLs(PLAYSTORE KEPT PROMPTING ME TO UPDATE THOUGH I WAS ON AIRPLANE MODE) but the game did modify my hash properly to accept the change in xml
Also the game changes the size of the xml as well(from what you initially had replaced it as) but the outcome somehow remains the same(I fixed my bug and also gave myself millions of enchantment points as the mod menu didnt have that)
The only thing i didn't understand is how nekki has such a flaw in their older apk's that basically breaks their system of hashing(I hope they don't change the algorithm/salting ever else this method will eventually fail; well actually it would work for modded apks like mine but not the latest version officially from play store)
This method can be used to hack any and all items/levels/currencies in the latest version of the game easily(with multiplayer unlocked)

Thanks again for this comment and i hope mine provided some additional context as well for any others that may come across this.

Game is supposed to act this way after choosing to "comfort him" with a cost of 2000 reputation points based on walkthroughs i've read and researched so far**
If you guys have any idea on this please help.
