Trophies === Rainbow Team === --- Description: Perfect Clear the specified stage --- Trophy Type: Gold --- Difficulty: Hard --- Guide: This is one of the hardest trophies to get in this game, as it wants You to perfect clear one of the hardest levels in the game, the best advice i can give is to do the following: Start by building cannons on the top row to take out the first lot of enemies and then build an Arrow Tower on the tree closest to the base and dance on this tower to upgrade it to yellow for increased range. By round 4 or 5 you are going to need to buy the Laser towers, so make sure you save up those gems, build this laser tower at the start of the 5th wave and dance on it to red level, build another and dance on it to upgrade to red, and one more upgraded to yellow. Build firetowers at the start of wave 11/12 and get them to purple level as soon as possible, place on at each entrance. Next work on getting all laser towers to purple level if they are already not. This part is vital. After doing so, save up and build more and more firetowers, each time getting them to purple level. Place more on the left than on the right side. Before the boss comes at wave 20, replace every arrow tower with either cannons or firetowers and upgrade them as much as possible. === 4 Tree Rainbow === --- Description: Perfect clear the specified stage --- Trophy Type: Silver --- Difficulty: Average --- Guide: To perfect clear this stage, simply follow the list below this, and you'll have this in no time. From left to right, each word represents one of the 4 trees. WAVE 1 - Blank - Cannon - Cannon - Arrow WAVE 2 - Arrow - Arrow - Arrow - Arrow WAVE 3 - Cannon - Cannon - Cannon - Arrow WAVE 4 - Air Gun - Air Gun - Cannon - Arrow WAVE 5 - Cannon - Cannon - Cannon - Arrow WAVE 6 - Arrow - Arrow - Arrow - Arrow WAVE 7 - Cannon - Cannon - Cannon - Arrow WAVE 8 (Buy Firetower here) - Air Gun - Air Gun - Air Gun - Arrow WAVE 9 - Fire Tower (Dance to Yellow Flag) - FireTower - FireTower - Arrow WAVE 10 - FireTower - FireTower (Dance to Yellow Flag) - Fire Tower - Arrow WAVE 11 (buy mortar tower) - Firetower - Firetower - Fire Tower - Mortar WAVE 12 - Air Gun - Air Gun - Air Gun - Mortar (Upgrade as much as you can) WAVE 13 - Mortar (Upgrade as much as you can) - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar WAVE 14 (Buy Laser tower here) - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar WAVE 15 - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar WAVE 16 - Mortar - Laser - Laser - Mortar WAVE 17 - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar WAVE 18 - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar WAVE 19 - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar WAVE 20 - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar - Mortar === Get Medievil === --- Description: Clear the specified stage, using only Arrows and Cannons --- Trophy Type: Silver --- Difficulty: Average/Hard --- Guide: This level is moderately hard, since you can only use Arrows and Cannons. You can also use Mines, however, it may not say so, but you can. Simply play this level as any other and when the time comes for a mine, use it. One place where you will need a mine: Wave 19, enemies here all have shields, and so are strong against Arrows/Cannons. So make sure here you use a Mine. === Tower Collector === --- Description: Clear the specified stage building every tower. --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Easy --- Guide: You will not need to much help on this level, simply play it like any other, however do not use any of your precious gems to have quick-upgrades, instead save them all up and unlock each tower slowly. You will know when a certain tower will be needed to be built, as you can see which enemies are on their way next. I suggest starting with building Cannons and Arrows at the first entrance, as well as an Ice Tower, its got to be built, so stick it somewhere where it will see some action! === No Crossing === --- Description: Clear the specified stage without crossing the bridge --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Average --- Guide: Start off like any level, build your Arrows and Cannons at the main entrance, this being by the bridge, and save up for more towers. Save your gems for Laser towers. Seriously. Only build a few anti-air guns when necessary, i would say about 3 at the maximum, as you are going to be building Laser towers very soon. As soon as possible, unlock the Laser towers and build one in the cluster of trees by the bridge, and 2 on the very top row of trees, near your base. From here, start saving gems for the firetowers. Upgrade the top 2 to red level, and the lower to a minimum of yellow. These will now be enough to take on the first Bee-onslaught. After the first wave of bees, quickly build 2 more laser towers. One by the bridge and another near the base. These, with the combined power of the weaker, yet still useful, Anti-Air guns, will be able to take on the next lot of bees. When you can, also build 2 firetowers next to the Bridge entrance-way. These, when upgraded to red-level, two combined will lower the enemies health A LOT. === Green Flag === --- Description: Clear the specified stage without a tower upgrading --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Average --- Guide: When a tower kills an enemy, your tower gains experience points, and gets closer to leveling up. So constantly keep a look at your towers XP Bar. If it gets over halfway, replace it. Keep doing this. To keep doing this, your going to need more money, so check all the trees as you would for the extra bits of money and gems. Once you get 7 gems, get interest from the base, and do the same at 8 gems etc. This allows more and more money to come into your possession after each round. Remember to keep checking those XP bars, and always get rid of a tower once its no longer needed. Such as removing all Anti-air guns after wave 7. === Picky Eater === --- Description: Clear the specified stage without using the fire tower --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Average --- Guide: Pretty simple. Do not use the Firetower. Instead, save gems for mines and use them when necessary. === Gem Hoarder === --- Description: Clear the specified stage with 25 or more gems --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Average --- Guide: Mmmkay... so.. you need 25 gems to finish the level... Simple... eh? Not so!! In this level there are only 23 gems, 22 on enemies, and 1 hidden in the trees. So, in order to get this, upgrade a tower to black level, or get 2 towers to purple. When you sell a purple tower, you get 1 gem, and when you sell a black tower, you get 2 gems. Make your choice here. And its best to try to perfect clear this stage, to guarantee you receive all the gems. === Scrooge === --- Description: Clear the specified level with 10000 gold. --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Easy --- Guide: Start off the level as you would any other, for example, a few at the entrance to the level, and a few by the base. Instead of building new towers, try to upgrade olders ones and only build when necessary. Save your gems to buy all 3 levels of interest, and sell towers when they are not needed, and you will have this in no time. === Bomb the Boss === --- Description: Clear the specified stage using only bombs to destroy the boss --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Easy --- Guide: Play this level as you would any other, but do not spend any gems. Simply do this, when the final wave comes, you should have roughly 20-22 gems. Sell ALL of your towers and set down a mine where the boss will walk. When hes there, Detonate. Rinse and repeat until he is dead. === Money Grubber === --- Description: Clear a stage without losing a single coin --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Easy --- Guide: This trophy wants you to not miss any coins in a level. So. Simple do Easy 3 (Prudence is key) ... there are no coins to miss, except for in the trees, so you will get this no problem. === Construction Expert === --- Description: Build 10 towers in less than 30 seconds upon entering a stage --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Very Easy --- Guide: Enter Easy 3 - Prudence is Key. You have 1000 gold, build 10 Arrow towers straight away. ... That is all. === Wave Goodbye === --- Description: Clear an entire wave of enemies with only a bomb --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Easy --- Guide This can be done on any level. But it is easier on the first non-tutorial level because there is a wave with only 2 golems. So unlock your mines, blow up this wave, et Voila! === Deep Impact === --- Description: Destroy 15 enemies at once with the mortar tower --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Average --- Guide: Simply do as this video shows you. Credits to Danboly for the Video. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kPjxK_3TPf8&fmt=18 === Encore: Black Flag === --- Description: Upgrade all towers to black, without selling any. --- Trophy Type: Silver --- Difficulty: Average --- Guide: Not too hard, i guess. Just to the right of the base are roughly 12 trees. Here you should build 4 cannons, 3 arrow towers and 2 anti-air towers. Upgrade all of the towers by dancing on them to red level and save your gems. When you build your first Anti-air tower, make sure to have 7 gems at the ready, as you will need to get this to black level as soon as possible, as this will quickly kill off the flying foes and yield a lot of money and gems. You will lose 1 or 2 of your herd, but at least you get your trophy :D If you are having trouble with this, try placing your towers in the positions that i have done in this picture below: http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m477/__Genesis/DSC00106.jpg I hope this helps you in this trophy expedition, and what not :D === Encore: Scrooge's Return === --- Description: Clear the specified stage with 12,000 coins or more --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Average --- Guide: For this guide, see "Scrooge" except at the end you WILL need to sell a few of your towers to get to 12000 gold coins. === Encore: Wishing Well === --- Description: Drop 100 coins into the water and clear the specified stage --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Average --- Guide: Build an Arrow tower next to the water, and instantly sell it. Most of the gold will go into the water. Rinse, Repeat, Voila! Trophy! === Encore: Zero Carat === --- Description: Clear the specified stage without using gems --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Very Easy --- Guide: Play this just like any normal level, except, just dont use ANY gems. This is by far one of the easiest trophies to get. Seriously. === Encore: Lucky Find === --- Description: Find an extra large stash of coins and gems --- Trophy Type: Bronze --- Difficulty: Very, Very Easy. --- Guide: Keep replaying the Treeless forest/4 tree rainbow. Eventually, one tree will yield about 15 coins and a gem. This is the large stash you are looking for. If you do not find it, restart the level and keep trying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.
