So knights, what loadout you'd use to go from the surface to the core in just one trip? (provided you have all the gear in the game)

-----------------------
Baby mode: All gear you'll use have godly UVs
Normal mode: No UVs on all gear
Hard mode: No extra weapon or trinket slots
Very hard mode: No equipment switching during run+no extra slots.
Impossibru mode: You only use chaos set and swiftstrike buckler, still no extra slots nor equipment changing during run.
"Dante must die" mode:The entire run is done with just proto gear, but you HAVE to kill ALL the enemies you find.
-----------------------

Chaos Knight+swiftstrike buckler+dread venom striker+valiance honorable race here.

What about you?

Hard, maybe VH mode.

Depends on the strata. If there's freeze or beast in there, I'm going with Hard. If not, Very Hard.

I don't have these yet, but I will if I manage to get to 5* without leaving.
-Levi (If on Hard, may be switched out for Final Flourish for Dark City levels, or Glacius for FSC/Oiler levels if needed)
-Hail Driver (May be switched for Sentenza if on Hard)
-BTS (If on Hard anyway, will switch out for Swifty in T1)
-Skolver Cap
-Vog Cub Coat.

If I had Snarby gear, I'd switch that out for the Skolver Cap.

The only problem is, I have natural UVs on my Ash Tail Coat and on my Swift Flourish. Is Stun Med allowed? How about Beast Med and Construct Low?

UVs still don't count

But don't worry, you have the whole arsenal in the game in your hands, you just need to pick what you'd like to use for such run, even if you don't have it. It's just for fun and curiosity. :)

Trying

Build an all beast gate then easily beat it in whatever.

Been there. Did that.

I and two others banded together in order to get this achievement together. This was before Missions or Shadow Lairs, or those little spots at the beginning of each level where you could switch out your equipment. We could switch at the mid points & moorcroft/emberlight, but we didn't, as we each stuck to specific equipment regiment (we didn't have equipment loadouts either). We all went down in a mix of skolver & vog gear. I had the barbarous thorn shield, my colleagues both used the grey owlite shields. For weapons I went with two swords: barbarous thorn blade & leviathan blade, the other two went with a sword/gun combo, i recall one of them had a polaris, the other a volcanic pepperbox. I'm afraid i dont remember what swords they brought. We did not bother with trinket slots, as this was before Krogmo & the combat enhancement modules, and we were too cheap for weapon slot upgrades :P.

Sometimes a good crew is better for getting this achievement rather than your gear. The gate we went thru was full of variety, we chose the gate based on the possible maps we would be running. In the tier3 section, there were 4 out of the 8 levels as 'aurora isles' levels, which usually tends to be a bit easier due to all the foliage dropping hearts for us.

So we basically went thru this on the 'very hard' setting, partly out of necessity I guess. I'd say good luck to anyone who tries it, It's quite an accomplishment.

I accidentally got dauntless

I accidentally got dauntless delver in the following equipment:

Crown of the Fallen, no UVs.
Armor of the Fallen, no UVs.
Volcanic Plate Shield, fire med
Combuster, no UVs
Acheron, no UVs
Argent Peacemaker, no UVs
No Trinkets

It was about a year ago, so I don't remember exactly what I faced. I know stratum 6 was construct, and had an arena that was surprisingly easy. I actually came closer to dying in tier 2, where I fought the jelly king, back before he got nerfed.

Also, back then, I had no other equipment, so I couldn't have switch my gear if I wanted to xD
I killed all enemies because I was not going for dauntless. I was going for some extra crowns.
