Crisol: Theater of Idols is packed with achievements, and Carnival Trickster is one of the earliest—and easiest—you can knock out. To unlock it, all you need to do is play and win all three carnival games located in the safe house.
You’ll want to tackle these games anyway, since they reward you with tickets that can be exchanged for collectibles, coins, upgrades, and gas—all useful resources that help you survive (and keep that knife sharp).
Where to play the carnival games in Crisol: Theater of Idols?
Once you reach the safe house, head past the carousel toward the Mermaid District. Before entering the district itself, turn left. You’ll hear a carnival barker calling out, inviting you to step right up. This area houses all three playable carnival games, and you can complete them in any order.
Salva a Tormenta
This is the first game you’ll encounter and arguably the most challenging of the trio. You’ll use a water spray gun to extinguish fires engulfing Tormenta.
Your goal is simple: put out all the fires in each round before the timer runs out. Just be careful not to let your gun overheat, and you shouldn’t have any trouble earning your tickets.
Pulporrazo
Easily the simplest game of the bunch. This is a straightforward timing challenge where you need to stop the moving light right at the top section. Nail the timing, and the tickets are yours.
Galopada en la Mar
This classic carnival race is pure button-mashing chaos. When prompted, mash the button as fast as you can to push your bull to victory. Bring the energy—your thumb is doing all the work here.
What to do after earning the tickets in Crisol: Theater of Idols?
Once you’ve beaten all three games, head back to the prize counter and spend those tickets. You can replay the carnival games later to earn more, so don’t stress about missing out.
One quick tip: Skip the collectibles at first. If you can afford it, buy the Holy Blood upgrade—it’s easily the most impactful early reward and will help you more than cosmetic pickups.
And that’s it! Beat all three carnival games, spend your tickets, and the Carnival Trickster achievement will unlock. Easy win, solid rewards, and a nice early accomplishment to check off your list.
