Playing with other people helps to ensure your whole team doesn't lose all of their lives. If you lose all of your lives, you will have to start the level over with zero score. ================================== Veteran (10) - Earn 100,000 points [*a2] ================================== Play with other people, making sure not to lose all of your lives. You can get this in Normal difficulty if you don't die all of your lives. ============================== Ace (20) - Earn 185,000 points [*a3] ============================== There are several ways to get this achievement. The first is by playing through Normal difficulty while trying to destroy as many things as possible. Power-ups give 50 score each, so make sure to get them. This is the least preferred way because if you do get the required points, you will barely do so. The second way is to play on Normal difficulty and get up to the spider boss that shoots lasers and creates meteorites. When the boss destroys the meteorites, power-ups will come out. Use the laser power-up to destroy the boss's meteorites to get 50 points each. This is a risky method because you can die pretty quickly if you mess up. The third (and hardest) way is to play through Insane difficulty without dying. Dying once means the chance for the achievement is lost. One way to help make this achievement easier is to have a second player (or just a second controller) and attach the second player to yourself. Have the second player get the defensive power-ups while you get the offensive ones. Make sure the second player doesn't attack or they will get your much-needed points. ============================================================= Teamwork (15) - Score 10,000 points while attached in a level [*a4] ============================================================= Get 10,000 points while ATTACHED TO SOMEONE ELSE in one level. This means that you have to press the button to attach to another player. If they are attached to you, it does not count. ================================================== Exterminator (15) - Destroy all enemies in a level [*a5] ================================================== This is best done on mission one of Normal difficulty. If you have four players, this achievement is rather easy to get. You can section players off to certain parts of the screen to make things more coordinated. Note that the enemies that spawn from bosses must be destroyed. If you don't have four players (or even two), you can do it solo, but it takes a good amount of skill. Offensive power-ups are a must, and the locations of enemy spawns are required to be known. ========================================================= Untouchable (15) - Complete a level without taking damage [*a6] ========================================================= This can be done easily on mission one of Normal difficulty. Either have other players do all the work, or you can just breeze through the level while holding onto defensive power-ups. =============================================================== Immortal (15) - Complete a level without dying or losing allies [*a7] =============================================================== Stick with defensive power-ups and make sure to watch out for kamikaze enemies. =============================================== Diplomat (15) - Complete a level without firing [*a8] =============================================== Other players are needed for this achievement. Have them do all the work while you stay back. The game counts running into other ships as firing, so make sure to avoid the enemies that try to run into you. ====================================================== Halfway Point (5) - Finish Mission 3 on any difficulty [*a9] ====================================================== Beat mission three on any difficulty. Having other players will help you get this faster. ======================================= Hero (25) - Complete the game on Normal [*aa] ======================================= This can be done on either single or multiplayer. Single-player might be more challenging, but can still be easily done. For multiplayer, you can just join a match that starts on mission six. Once you beat the level, you'll get the achievement. ========================================= Legend (50) - Complete the game on Insane [*ab] ========================================= This can be done on either single or multiplayer. Single-player is extremely challenging. You can die, but you'll have to start at the beginning of the level. For multiplayer, you can just join a match that starts on mission six. Once you beat the level, you'll get the achievement. ===================================================== Epic Warrior (10) - Form a four-ship (epic) formation ===================================================== Have all four players attach to each other. _______________________________________________________________________________ Quickest Approach [*B0] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The following are the quickest ways to get all of the achievements. Many achievements can be acquired at the same time. For example, you could get two achievements by destroying all enemies on a level while taking no damage. If you do not have access to single-player (even local), you are only able to get 160/200 gamerscore. Multiplayer is split into two categories - one for access to only local multiplayer, and one for access to online multiplayer. ================================ Single-player (160/200 possible) [*b1] ================================ Normal Difficulty ----------------- Destroy all enemies on mission one (Exterminator) 15 Take no damage on mission one (Untouchable) 15 Play through mission three (Halfway Point) 5 Play through the entire game (Hero) 25 -- 60/160 Insane ------ Don't die on mission one (Immortal) 15 Play through the entire game (Rookie) 5 (Veteran) 10 (Ace) 20 (Legend) 50 --- 100/160 Teamwork, Diplomat, Epic Warrior are impossible ==================================== Local Multiplayer (200/200 possible) [*b2] ==================================== Normal Difficulty ----------------- Have four players attach to each other (Epic Warrior) 10 Destroy all enemies on mission one (Exterminator) 15 Take no damage on mission one (Untouchable) 15 Stay attached to another player on mission one (Teamwork) 15 Don't shoot on mission two (have other players do it) (Diplomat) 15 Play through mission three (Halfway Point) 5 Play through the entire game (Hero) 25 --- 100/200 Insane ------ Don't die on mission one (Immortal) 15 Try to get the highest possible score (don't die at all) (Rookie) 5 (Veteran) 10 (Ace) 20 Play through the entire game (Legend) 50 --- 100/200 ===================================== Online Multiplayer (200/200 possible) [*b3] ===================================== Normal Difficulty ----------------- Have four players attach to each other (Epic Warrior) 10 Destroy all enemies on mission one (Exterminator) 15 Take no damage on mission one (Untouchable) 15 Stay attached to another player on mission one (Teamwork) 15 Don't shoot on mission two (have other players do it) (Diplomat) 15 Play through mission three (Halfway Point) 5 Play through mission six (Hero) 25 --- 100/200 Insane ------ Don't die (Immortal) 15 Get the highest possible score (Rookie) 5 (Veteran) 10 (Ace) 20 Play through mission six (Legend) 50 --- 100/200 _______________________________________________________________________________ Updates [*C] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 1.0 (11/21/08) - Started Achievement Guide 1.1 (09/19/09) - Cleaned up sentences, fixed some spelling 1.2 (12/19/09) - Reformatted guide 2.0 (05/07/12) - Reformatted guide, added Quickest Approach section _______________________________________________________________________________ Copyright [*D] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.
