I'm unable to complete the Triple Hero Vanquish in One Rocket Ride challenge, because after I get 1/3 required vanquishes done, it resets to 0/3 within seconds, Because of this, I will never be able to 100% the character challenge completion to unlock the Kernel Corn hat.I'm on Xbox One.I already posted this in the Technical issues section.EDIT: Okay, never mind I finally got the challenge complete. If you still need it, easiest way--really the only way for me--was going to Neighborville area at night map, whatever it's called. There's an area sort of in the middle of town , it's like a 2 level area with 3 cactus' hanging around. I weakened them first, then got rid of most of the other enemies. I thought I would need to kill all 3 at once with one rocket blast attack, but I didn't. I did rocket blast 3 separate times, once for each cactus and it unlocked the challenge.

I did it pretty quick in wailing woods. Started the rose boss by the lake and just used it on the nightcaps and champion hypnoshrooms. They spawn after rose goes into enigma. Hit them as soon as they spawn and are grouped up.

I started fighting in Camp Near-a-lake near the entrance to Weirding Woods, until a dynamic battle was started and while battling there 3 Kernel Corns bunched up so I was able to take them out with the single Rocket Ride.Before that I'd tried resetting Zombie Prepared (started by Izzy at the start of the map) and followed it up until the 2nd cookie location. If you play during the mission there's multiple acorns and a sunflower there, so hopefully you can get the 3 vanquishes after clearing out the weeds and sunspot.

I ended up running the first battle chest in Weirding Woods. The acorns stack up on the Oaks a lot so it made it a lot easier. There are issues with challenges and the bulb XP in general though, resetting at annoying times.

@pink_moozipan I got it done via the first battle chest challenge in Weirding Woods. The acorns stack up on Oaks a lot so once you soften the oak up a bit, you can use rocket ride to get several rapid vanquishes. I ran it a couple of times to complete this particular challenge.

I had an issue with this too but i found a way to finish it. In Pressure pier pve zone you can find three cactus in uptown downtown area. Still difficult but figured I'd pass the info,it helped me soo good luck 😀✌

Weirding Woods in the back of the ztech factory has an oak with 2 acorns riding him. Just weaken the oak a bit and it's an easy triple.
