In this guide I'll highlight the easiest & most time effect way of achieving 46/46 achievements in Gauntlet.

To start of Gauntlet is a fleshed out RPG & Dungeon Crawler. Having only a limited number of moves and spells to choose from, you rely mostly on skill (proper herding of hordes, knowing when to run & when to fight).

Each character on average has a total of 4 weapons, 3 Talismans, & 10 Relics. The choice of weapon will determine your special attack (or spells for the wizard). Talismans will change the effect when you use potions and the relic slot will give you an additional ability with a cool-down (e.g. freeze enemies, invisibility etc.)

When working towards 100%. Things should be completed in this order:

• Campaign (Hard)
  
• Endless Mode
  
• Mop Up i.e The Grind

To start of you're going to want to set the difficulty to "Hard". Not only do you get an achievement for completing all the crypt, cave, and lava levels on hard, you also receive the largest amount of money and will be presented with the largest quantity of hordes which works towards various slayer/mastery achievements.

After you have played the first few levels and have gotten a feel for how each of the characters play, it is suggested that you pick one character and stick with it. Playing with one character throughout story will help towards your 50,000 kills with one hero (Slayer - Gold Achievement) and will work to build money with this character. More money = more high end weapons, talisman, & relics. This'll be highly beneficial when it comes time to fight the final boss (Morak Defeated) and getting to floor 50 in endless mode (We need to go Deeper - Gold).

The Undeath of Khamun

Besting the Beast of Orox

Apart from the Endless Mode achievements you should have either completed or be close to completing most of the achievements in this section.

We need to go Deeper - Gold
Survive until Floor 50 in Endless Mode

• Suggestion: When given the opportunity to run or fight. Always run if possible.

The only way to reach Floor 50 is either through skill or finding someone helpful in the forum. Once you reach Floor 19 & 37 there are portals to those floors so you don't have to start all over again if you die.
