Hail to the King. 7 achievements which had me cheating
Table of Contents

- Percentage of people who earned this achievement (on Steam): 5.0%
- Cheat method: Use an auto-clicker
Last, but not least, an achievement I've been trying to get for years. Almost twenty, to be exact! I told you that there will be one more achievement from the game and here it is – it's called "Hail to the King." It consists in... Making a thousand hops with a skipping rope. In about nine minutes. And not failing. Not a single one.
Unlike "Found in the Shuffle," which I wrote about above, I have always realized the existence of an additional challenge hidden behind this seemingly simple hopping mini-game. Bah! I even knew what prize awaited at the end: the title of King of Jump Rope. All in all, a useless key item – not even a piece of equipment – which I wrote off way back in the days of PS1. It was just beyond my physical capabilities.
And not much has changed since; I have never earned this item honestly. Unlike the achievement associated with it, however. How? I downloaded a program – the so-called auto-clicker – which clicked the exclamation mark as in the screenshot above – a thousand times. A moment of patience and it was over. And in case you are wondering – no, I don't feel guilty about this. I did it for myself, not to compete with others (I wonder how many Steam users have resorted to a similar method). I did it because I could.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I got into the serious achievement hunting while completing the Souls series, in which they were designed for people who had a thorough understanding of the game. Before that, I was basically oblivious to this virtual contest. Now, I treat them as a side activity that I can – but do not have to – complete if I want to spend more time with the selected game.
