Grand Theft Auto V - The Wizard's Ruin - Coin Purse Award (Glitch Workaround)

This video demonstrates earning the Coin Purse award in GTA V. This award is known to be glitched and was only recently discovered to be possible. The thought is that you have to earn 950k+ in treasures while remaining total score under 1 million points (which seems to conflict with the Platinum Sword award for earning 1 million points). It took me about 10 tries to get this right and some people have earned this even after going slightly over 1 million in points so a lot is still not completely clear.

The basic strategy is to try to get as few points as possible from enemy kills and end of life bonuses (health and lives). This means you want to be nearly dead with 1 or 2 lives when killing each level boss (when I succeeded I had 1 life left on each boss but someone people have done it with 2). You need to be careful you know how much health a hit will deplete so you don't accidentally die (I did this a few times trying to get my health as low as possible... ).

Tips:
- Spawn spider treasures at the level 3 boss until your score is between 750k-780k (mine was 772,560), then kill the boss.
- Make sure your score before starting the level 4 (final) boss is between 992k-996k (mine was 995,810). This likely means not collecting all the treasure from the last group of enemies! I try to kill them in different areas of the screen to make the treasure drop spread apart to make it easier not to accidentally grab it all!
- Getting really good at fast (instant) drop kicks is essential and makes the game much easier. Drop kicking around the top and bottom of the screen to kite enemies in those stopping sections makes them cake! I made this easy using a macro controller (ref: Cronus Zen -https://www.cronusmax.com).
- Use magic on the fairies on level 1 otherwise you don't get any treasure from them! If you don't get treasure from most of the fairies on level 1 then it may be worth starting over because they are ideal low-point kills.
- Make sure your magic bar is full for the level 1 boss. The last boss has 3 damage thresholds that spawn enemies. Two of these are groups of fairies. Fairies kills score the lowest amount of points so they are very useful when trying to accumulate treasure and not too many points from kills. Make sure you kill them with magic to get treasure! Also, don't dropkick this boss because it may do too much damage and skip one of the fairy spawns!

Potential Super Tip!
- I have not verified this because I ended up getting the award before I tried it but I think this could be very useful! Many of the enemies on level 3 are worth a lot of points (which we don't want), but the spiders are worth the least at 90 points. Fortunately, you can just walk past most of the enemies right to the boss! There are a few times you are forced to kill but that's fine. In theory, this would allow you to skip the high point enemies and then farm more 90-pt spiders for treasure at the boss. I'm assuming that most of the time when people fail to get this it's because they were unable to get 950k in treasure while still trying to stay under 1 million points. Skipping these high point enemies should make this a lot easier! You could also apply this to levels 1,2, and even 4 possibly if you were able to earn enough treasure from the level 3 boss. If someone is able to verify this strategy please post in the comments. :)
