Moonlighter – Savage! Achievement (Easy Grind)

The easiest and fastest way to grind enemy kills for the Savage! Achievement (including an AHK script).

Introduction

Please note: all credit goes to Parallel Platypus!

With a total of two playthroughs (normal and NG+) and less than 20 hours of ingame time, I managed to kill a total of roughly 3,500 monsters. While grinding for the ‘Kill 1,000 (Insert the biome type) monsters’ achievements, I ended with almost 4,500 monster kills.

The Location

Hopefuly, there is perfect spot to grind for the rest of the amount required in order to pop your most likely last achievement. This room may appear in the Tech Dungeon in any floor and it comes in different variations (one or more doors, locked/unlocked doors by default).

The lightbulb enemy will indeed generate another slime each time you kill the previous one! So, put yourself in a good position and press the attack button repeatedly.

With this method, it take around one minute to kill 30 enemies. So let’s say you have already killed one thousand enemies in each of the first three dungeons. You will need a little less than 4 hours of boring and alienating button pressing.

The Script

So, it’s a good reason to use a script and let the game idling!

If you don’t already own it, download AutoHotKey and then create a new file (> AutoHotKey Script), let’s say on your Desktop. 

Edit it and paste the following code:

f2::
Loop
{
    Send, j
    Sleep 300
}
return

f3::Pause

Right-click on it and choose ‘Run Script’. In game, just press F2 and F3 if you desire to pause/unpause it. Voila!

  1. Alternatively, you could have just used a grounded familiar, any of the 3 Puddle Rings (DLC), activated Spore Sword (also DLC) to handle the slime while you go full AFK.
    As of self-healing, the Bard Puppet familiar heals per enemy kill, while the Vampire Ring heals per damage dealt (except for Spore Sword).

    Note that the amount of HP recovered from Vampire Ring depends on your weapon strength, so make to equip your strongest weapon and highest DEFENCE armor for this.

    Just make sure you don’t kill the Recharger, or leave the room while the Tech Baby Slime has yet to respawn, otherwise you might need to reset the enemies with the Catalyst (teleportation door).

  2. This is great but the script doesn’t work. It gives an error when trying to run. Sad, this was so promising.
