Xbox Danger in the Deep Achievement not unlocking

[johnnyjohnathan]

I am on Xbox Series X. Single player. Version 1.6.9. Using an old save file and everything else is working fine. New achievements are unlocking. I have completed the Danger in the Deep quest 3 times from Qi and cannot get the associated achievement to unlock. Yes, I made sure I did the correct quest. This is for all 120 floors of the original mine. I unlocked the shrine at the bottom to allow me to change it from "dangeorus" to normal and I have flipped back and forth numerous times. I have taken the elevator directly to the dangerous version of floor 120 but still no unlock. I have also avoided the elevator and went from floor 1 to 120 in one go and still nothing.

It seems I have that achivement after going to Ginger Island, instead. It's like mixed up, have you been to Ginger Island yet? If not go there and it will unlock the Danger in the Deep achivement instead.

I have already been to ginger island many times. My first visit there after the 1.6 update came out on consoles gave me the associated ginger island achievement. I've had no other issues with any of the other achievements I've unlocked so far besides Danger in the Deep (although I read on other forums that some people are experiencing other achievement issues since 1.6.9). From what people are saying, taking the elevator to floor 120 of the "dangerous" version should trigger the achievement if you already completed the quest. I've tried it several times on both the normal and dangerous versions, I've went fully from 1-120 without the elevator on both versions, and I've reaccepted and completed the Danger in Deep quest from Qi an additional 2 times but still can't get the achievement to trigger.

I’ve had more or less the exact same experience as you trying to unlock this. What I would like to find out is whether the achievement unlock is tied to reaching the level 120 floor, completing the Qi quest, or unlocking the Shrine of Challenge. If it’s the first two, then those can be repeated, however unlocking the shrine again would require a whole new playthrough.

I was also wondering that. It's pretty far into the game so I wasn't ready to do another playthrough yet. People on other forums are saying that they completed the quest before the 1.6 update was released on consoles, and then just taking the elevator to floor 120 would trigger the achievement to unlock retroactively. Either the trigger is wonky or there is something else going on. Other people seem to be having a lot of issues with some of the other new achievements too, which I've unlocked just fine. Hopefully if they release another patch they can fix this, or at least specify the intended way to force trigger any retroactive achievements you should have earned.

I, too, am having the same issue, on XBox Series X.

I wonder if this is related to a problem with the tracking of "Monster Slayer Hero" not reflecting correctly in the in-game 'Perfection' tracker? Since resetting the Mines in an attempt to (unsuccessfully) toggle the "Danger In The Deep" achievement tracker (much like the folks above me), "Monster Slayer Hero" no longer shows 'Yes' in that in-game 'Perfection' tracker.
