How to get The Dash Eternal achievement in Hyper Light Drifter 😉
 
 

STEP 1: Find the correct location

The first step to getting The Dash Eternal achievement is to find the correct place. Its location is in the north of the central town. It’s the one with the two arrow things above the door
 
 

 
 
 

STEP 2: Buy the proper upgrade

This achievement requires an upgrade. Go up to the person in the building you just entered, hold the interact button, then buy the default chosen upgrade with 3 of the coins you found by picking up the little yellow dots around the world. What? You didn’t pick up little yellow dots around the world? Then go get some you f‎u‎c‎k‎i‎n‎g idiot.
 
 

 
 
 

STEP 3: Look up a tutorial

My best recommendation on getting good at chain dashes is to look up a tutorial. If you don’t, you’ll generally just flounder around, maybe get like 6 dashes in a row if you’re lucky. This achievement requires 800 in a row. Good luck without that tutorial.
 

 
 
 

STEP 4: Get a new high score, yay!

After a little bit of time, you’ll be able to chain dash consistently, and you’ll even be able to get over 100! you’ll be so proud of yourself you’ll take a break to actually play this game after hours of just sitting in this same room making no progress. You know what? You deserve it! Take a break, maybe go find a few more little yellow dots or something.
 
 

 
 
 

STEP 5: look up a better guide

After a few days of not being able to crack the 400 mark, maybe you’ll realize that this guide is garbage. Then you’ll go into the community and see the several other guides that teach the exact same thing, and look to them for help. That’s probably a better idea than whatever the f‎u‎c‎k this is supposed to be anyways.
 
 

 
 
 

STEP 6: Have a life changing revelation

Looking at the other guides will enlighten you to the strategy of using keyboard and mouse to repeatedly dash across the refill panels, eliminating the risk of running out of dash juice or bonking into the wall. You’ll feel pretty stupid for not figuring it out yourself, and you’re right, you’re a g‎o‎d damned idiot.

STEP 7: Get depressed

You know when you’ve been trying to achieve something for weeks, and you’ve put a lot of time into doing it right, and you get a really good attempt at it? Then you choke when you’re literally within fingertips of finally completing it?
 
 

 
I WAS TWO DASHES OFF
 
 
 

STEP 8: Cool off over the course of a few ̶w̶e̶e̶k̶s̶ months

Take a nap
 
Read a book
 
Clean your house
 
Play a different game
 
Do whatever you need to get over it
 
You can come back later when you want
 
Just know that you won’t feel up to it for a while.
 
 
 

STEP 9: Finally succeed

You did it!
 
You finally broke through the barrier of 800
 
You feel really good
 
You feel like you could go on forever
 
Let’s see how high you can get…
 
 

 
 
 

STEP 10: End up in a spiral that sends you deeper and deeper into depression and self loathing until it’s far too late

The power cuts out at the most inopportune time
 
You had broken through and even managed to snag a few extra hundred dashes
 
You boot up the game as soon as the light returns
 
You check your high score
 
It didn’t save
 
All that effort
 
All your work
 
It was all for nothing
 
You’re back at square 1
 
(well actually it’s more like step 7 but that doesn’t matter)
 
You start panicking
 
Will you be able to do this again?
 
Your hands are shaking
 
The rhythm is off
 
You can’t do it
 
You begin to hyperventilate
 
There’s nothing left
 
No purpose in going on
 
In a moment of clarity, you decide to go to bed
 
It’s really late, you’ll probably feel better in the morning
 
You have a hard time falling asleep, but when you do, it’s deep and dreamless
 
When you wake up, you feel a lot calmer
 
Too calm
 
You feel nothing
 
Numbness envelopes your body
 
You are a shell
 
You just sit there
 
Minutes turn into hours
 
When you finally move, you have resigned yourself to nothingness
 
You cannot do anything
 
You go through the motions, but eventually you cannot even do those
 
Like a malfunctioning robot, you pause in the middle of a common task
 
Those hours of nothing, turn into days
 
Those days, into weeks
 
You ignore your responsibilities
 
You are fired from your job, but that doesn’t matter, it doesn’t change what your life has been for months now
 
Your bank account is slowly drained, as bills and debt pile up
 
Your house is repossessed
 
Your belongings, sold
 
All you have eventually is your car, a decrepit, decade old sedan
 
You live in it for months, maybe years, using pocket change and dropped cash to pay for gas and food
 
But eventually
 
You can’t scrape up enough money to feed you even for a single meal
 
You have no choice but to sell your car
 
You get a few hundred dollars off of a lucky deal
 
You are on the streets
 
Begging for money
 
An empty husk of a human being
 
Barely able to keep yourself alive
 
All because you couldn’t get over a F‎U‎C‎K‎I‎N‎G VIDEO GAME
 
I MEAN SERIOUSLY SOME OF YOU ARE F‎U‎C‎K‎I‎N‎G OBSESSED
 
GO TOUCH SOME GRASS FOR ONCE IN YOUR GOD FORSAKEN LIFE
