Elementalist Achievement???

by mikeleus » Wed Oct 19, 2011 8:32 pm

*Summon 5 rock elementals in any one stage*
I'm playing on the last stage - The Dark Tower. Had two Sorcerer's Mage towers, fully upgraded, with Elementals coming out of them all the time. I think I've summoned not 5, but at least 20 of them, and I still don't get the achievement. Does anyone know what's happening?

They don't get re-summoned, they reform. You have to build 5 towers and buy the upgrade for each one.

I suggest try on sun temple. You may get more money on later levels, but you start out with mages and you can sell unneeded mages in one of the challenges. It only takes about three waves max. to get enough money total. If you have premium, you need less. Unrelated, but if I watch a walkthrough, at a certain point, I always seem to have more money than the walkthrough, even if they spawned levels early and I didn't. Its actually kinda creepy.

Hey Julian, last night I read most of your comments, and I see that you are I guess the best KR player around :)
Especially the custom achievement - Holy Grail, you just killed me with that :)
So I wanted to ask you for some tips, advices, I don't know... like a trategy guide, but not a video one, but some general tips for some specific situation, etc.. Would it be possible? :)

Hi there ^^
Great to hear that, thanks!
I sure can give my ideas about what would be best in a specific situation... like for how to complete the Holy Grail challenge. Tips about how to be good at Kingdom Rush in general would be a bit harder to give, but I can try if you like me to :>

i surely like too :D
i've completed the campaign on easy, now i started to do it again on the challenges - heroic and iron.. and it seems to be pretty complicated, for example lvl 3 heroic can't beat... i'mn stuck there, the huge orks at the last wave just pass through, despites all the powers i use...

The Holy Grail challenge is actually sort of misleading; it sounds like only with paladins, but its actually only barracks.

Well I re-completed it, this time simply by first building an archer tower on every spot and upgrading them one by one afterwards.

General tips
- Start building on the spots which cover the biggest part of the path
- Same goes for upgrading, when doing so, start with the towers which cover the biggest part of the path
- Get the right mixture of towers. This is a trial-and-error process. On this specific level there are 5 different kinds of enemies: wulves, goblins, orcs, shamans and ogres. Archers work well against wulves, goblins and shamans. Mages work well against orcs and ogres. If you play the level and an ogre manages to pass through, you apparently need more mage towers and less archer towers. Still I used only archer towers. This is because of the shamans... it is really important to kill them as fast as possible so they won't be able to heal other enemies
- Always try to use reinforcements and rain of fire as soon and as strategic as possible
- Always call the next wave as soon as you think you can handle it, the extra money and especially the lowered cooldowns are very handy
(I tend to spawn reinforcements, call the next wave and immediately spawn reinforcements on the very same place alot)
- Building many level 1 towers vs Building a few upgraded towers is a hard one. It depends on the situation and for me this is also a trial-and-error process. In this case building as many towers as possible before upgrading them worked better

Hope that helps! If you have any specific questions feel free to ask ^^

p.s.
True epic :-) It's actually impossible without the use of barbarians as you need to kill some flying enemies

It would sorta make sense with paladins and magi using people only, but their religious institution would probably call wizards/mages/etc "pagan" or "unholy".

You can't beat Sarelgz's lair campaign? If so, go to the sarelgaz's lair topic and find kotobukimedia's second try. Watch it. Or you can search it on YouTube.
