Untouched (No Damage Boss Fights)

Achieve Untouched status by defeating bosses without taking damage in 1384 Ex Voto. Learn effective strategies for each harrowing encounter.

The "Untouched" achievement in 1384 Ex Voto is one of the game's most challenging accolades, requiring players to defeat every boss without taking a single point of damage. This feat demands absolute mastery of Aeta's combat abilities, a deep understanding of boss attack patterns, and impeccable execution. The game features several formidable bosses, from the swift and deadly Plague Lord in the heart of the infected city to the colossal, armored Ironclad Sentinel guarding the ancient fortress. Each boss presents a unique set of mechanics and attack sequences that must be learned and countered perfectly. To achieve "Untouched," dedicate significant time to studying each boss's tells, learning the precise timing for dodges, parries, and counter-attacks. For example, against the Plague Lord, recognizing the wind-up for its devastating plague breath attack and executing a perfectly timed dodge roll is paramount. Similarly, against the Ironclad Sentinel, mastering the parry window for its heavy overhead slam is crucial for creating openings.

This achievement is not for the faint of heart and often requires numerous attempts. consider using any available buffs or consumables that enhance Aeta's defensive capabilities or offensive power, even though they cannot be hit. For instance, using a Knight's Draught before a boss fight can provide a temporary boost to Aeta's attack speed, allowing for quicker damage output and shorter engagement times. It is also highly recommended to have fully upgraded Aeta's primary weapon, the Silvered Blade, to maximize damage per hit. Players might find it beneficial to practice boss fights in a non-achievement-seeking capacity first, focusing solely on learning their movesets without the pressure of perfection. Identifying the safest windows for attack is key; for instance, after the Grave Warden finishes its multi-hit combo, there is a brief window where Aeta can safely land a few strikes. Some players may also find it helpful to experiment with different weapon types or combat stances to find what best suits their playstyle against specific bosses. The "Untouched" achievement is the ultimate test of skill, rewarding those who have truly mastered the intricate combat system of 1384 Ex Voto.
