** Getting the high score in the arrow-shooting game is extremely tedious.

to:

** Getting the high score in the arrow-shooting game is extremely tedious.tedious, and it also lands on ThatOneAchievement. Its concept is that it's a minigame designed around hitting Prinnies, which explode and cause chains that give increasing amounts of points, but the chains reset if you fire another arrow during the chain. Its problem is that it's incredibly frantic, the higher scoring chain starter Prinnies are hard to hit, and it encourages mashing X. Breaking the 20k score needed to complete the sidequest will likely end up being a slow, tedious mashing experience rather than firing smart, calculated shots you're meant to be.
