Having 100%’d the achievements, I felt like I was pretty done with the game, but one little thing kept bugging me: the last of the three statues, which don’t have an achievement other than the feeling!

I’d managed the 24 Fear Overworld run component while playing through, but the 32 Fear Underworld was pretty darn Hard. After a bit of time off from the game I found myself doing a single 32 Fear Underworld run every few nights, noticing what was making it hard and what I felt like I could deal with, and then tonight after switching weapons and adjusting a crucial component of the Fear, voilà!!

I think the Fear is the bit that most needs “solving” to make this completeable (and to a much, much lesser extent, Arcana), so I’m linking them instead. Arcana and Fear — don’t look (or keep reading) if you wanna figure out what works for you on your own!

ROT-13 discussion of what I found key:
