Dastardly Duos secret achievement
Spotted by player Grayvves, Boot Hill Feat of Strength doesn’t give any achievement points, but it will forever mark your grave-loving efforts in your achievement log. Remember, Feats of Strength are only available during the event window and will be unobtainable once the event ends, so time is limited.
When you die in Dastardly Duos, a tombstone is left behind. Stack up 30 of these by dying over and over — but don’t forget: you must still complete and loot the event chest at the end for the achievement to trigger. Now with this basic information bit done, let’s get to the guide.
How to get it
Getting the Boot Hill achievement is equal parts strategy and self-sabotage. Here’s how to get it done efficiently:
Preparation
- Remove your gear: Make yourself as squishy as possible so dying is fast and easy.
- Solo: Be ready for a grind — and have a method to count deaths accurately.

- Follower NPCs don’t count: Clear trash mobs using followers, then dismiss them.
- Use bosses strategically: Pull the bosses near the respawn point to speed up dying and minimize running.
- Count your tombstones: You need 30 visible tombstones before finishing. Aim for 15 on each side of the room.
- Hit 31 deaths just to be safe: Once you’re at 31 deaths total (to ensure no miscounts), stop dying.
- Let bosses reset: After you hit the death count, wait for the bosses to walk back to their start positions.
- Re-equip your gear: Suit up, take down the bosses, and finish the event.
- Loot the final chest: The achievement will trigger upon looting.
Final tips
- Deaths after the event timer expires still count, so don’t panic if you’re running short on time.
- Only your own deaths count — not party wipes or pet/follower deaths.
- If you’re unsure whether you’re at 30, go for extra deaths to guarantee success.
Conclusion
The Boot Hill Dastardly Duos secret achievement feat is a uniquely chaotic challenge that rewards careful planning — and a lot of dying. While unconventional, it’s one of those rare, limited-time achievements that’s worth grabbing for the bragging rights alone.
