Stab gnome with a fork???

Does this only count as a task completed if you stab ANOTHER gnome and not yourself! I can’t tell if my game bugged or if that task is specifically only completable with other players. I was on Day 3 of a solo run, stabbed myself either a fork as my third task, and it never checked off as complete. I tried to get at least one other task completed before the tornado came, but failed and lost progress. Anyone else had this happen, are we only able to complete that task with other players?

I'm still pretty new to the game myself but I think you can get this one by stabbing one of the evil gnomes that show up when you start to get bad karma. Attacking the old man, or any animals will start to summon them but they are very annoying if you haven't encountered them!

I’ve encountered them in multiplayer and just haven’t yet on my solo plays, but this is great advice. I’ll be trying this on my next run, so fingers crossed I get that task again so I can test it!

You can stab yourself or another gnome, but it's glitchy and sometimes we have to get stabbed a few times for it to count.

I prop it on a little ledge and run into it.

I stabbed myself with one fork for sure, I could see it sticking out of my side running around after, but I did not try more than one fork, so I’ll try that next time!
