Ways to achieve "Hat Trick"?

The Hat Trick achievement requires you to gather three Gold Plorts from a single Gold Slime. A Gold Plort is obtained when hitting a Gold Slime with any kind of food or plort, but if the slime then hits a wall, it seems to instantly vanish.

I've never been able to get more than one plort from a single Gold Slime, so what are some tricks to get three?


Reading up on the achievement many people suggest getting a considerable distance away from the golden slime and hitting it with food so it is less likely to notice you being there. They also suggest try being a higher elevation than the slime.

If that way doesn't work there is another way that I read about on the steam forums for the game.

Instead, do you know where the second Rock Gordo is? After it pops, it'll spawn 3 gold slimes, and then you'd have to shoot at them and hope for the best. If you want to do it the normal way, after a gold slime spawns, shoot at it when it's against a wall, so it hits the wall and it's unable to run away. Do the same thing two times then.

So if the first way doesn't work the second option may be your best bet.

Good luck those gold slimes are very crafty.
