CICADAMATA JOYEUSELESS Achievement Guide - Core-Only EXFIL
Quick answer
JOYEUSELESS requires a Core-only score route: no enemy points, no health pickups and no accidental scoring before EXFIL.
JOYEUSELESS unlocks when you EXFIL after only earning points from CORES.
Quick Answer
Pick a short early level, collect only Cores, avoid every enemy score source and leave through EXFIL with no non-Core points on the run.
What Is Allowed?
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I kill enemies? | No |
| Can I take damage? | Avoid it |
| Can I pick up health? | No |
| Can I collect rings? | No |
| Can I pick up Cores? | Yes |
| Best level? | 1-1 or 1-3 |
Route Rules
- Do not fire at enemies unless you have already decided to reset.
- Do not stomp, dash-kill, spike-kill or void-kill any THREAT.
- Do not pick up Repair Kits or other score pickups.
- Grab required Cores and leave as cleanly as possible.
Why 1-1 And 1-3 Work Best
Early Emergence levels are shorter and easier to read, which lowers the chance of accidental combat scoring. Practice the route once normally, then restart for the Core-only attempt.
