Die to the dragon for the first time.

Now Hiring is a task in ForgeTax with one objective: die to the dragon for the first time. It marks your first death to that enemy, rather than a victory or contract completion.

How to Complete

1. Reach the dragon through normal play. The available official description does not explain how to reach the dragon, so a specific route or set of prerequisites cannot be verified from this source.
2. Die to the dragon. The stated requirement is a death to the dragon specifically. A death from another cause does not match the listed objective.
3. Check whether Now Hiring is unlocked. Your first death to the dragon is the listed completion condition; the description does not require repeated deaths or a particular number of attempts.

There is no verified equipment setup, weapon upgrade level, or combat technique attached to this objective. The source also does not specify a particular dragon attack that must cause the death. Avoid treating any such detail as a confirmed requirement.

Death Versus Victory

You do not need to defeat the dragon for Now Hiring. The official achievement list separates this objective from Clocking Out, which requires defeating the dragon and completing your contract. These are different milestones: Now Hiring records your first death to the dragon, while Clocking Out records a successful outcome. [src-9a24f3ac8e]

If your immediate goal is Now Hiring, focus on its exact wording rather than the requirements of the neighboring achievements. The same official list includes tribute payments, sword upgrades, and merchant purchases as objectives for other achievements, but it does not attach those conditions to Now Hiring. [src-9a24f3ac8e]

Completion Checklist

Use this checklist to distinguish the confirmed objective from unverified assumptions:

• Required: Die to the dragon.
• First-time condition: This must be your first death to the dragon.
• Not the stated objective: Defeat the dragon or complete your contract.
• Not specified: A required weapon, upgrade level, tribute payment, or particular attack.

The provided source does not document unlock timing, troubleshooting steps, or additional in-game rewards. The verified goal is the Now Hiring achievement itself, listed on the official Steam achievements page. [src-9a24f3ac8e]
