____________________________________________________________

The End of the War As We Know It
Finish War of the Human Tanks


You'll get this during the first time you complete the game.


War of the Human Tanks
For Those Who Saw It All


This achievement requires you to see all endings. These 4 endings are all tied to the Episode 13 achievements.

(New Game only) Achievements - 2

These achievements are supposed to be obtained on a fresh game (NOT New Game+).

The only truly problematic achievement here is Nice Kitty. I strongly suggest rushing through your first playthrough (disregard heavy farming) in order to beat the game once and unlock the BONUS maps. One of the bonus maps will allow you to farm the crates necessary to gear up against Mr. Cat (at 300-400k per win).

The following achievements CANNOT be obtained in Free Battle.


Sherlock
Win the Battle for Yumishirogahara Before 5 Minutes Elapse (New Game only)


In order to get this achievement, you need a Shock Tank equipped with a Daisy Bomb. Place the Shock Tank on the top-left cell (X10 Y12) and when it gets a turn, move it NW diagonally (X09 Y11) then detonate the Daisy Bomb.



Not the Brightest Pea in the Pod
Win the Battle for Matsumoto Railway Without Using Battery Tanks (New Game Only)


Once again you can use a Daisy Bomb for this achievement. The simplest way is to just detonate the bomb on as large of a portion that you can get to and then pick the rest off with Assault Tanks. You can actually take the entire train out if you detonate on the middle of the train (although it's a hassle to pull off).



** For the Nice Kitty achievement, see the Detour Achievements section.

Detour Achievements - 4

A Tankless Job
Defeat the... Tank?

Think Tank
Defeat the Tank-Model Tank

The 2 achievements above are rewarded for taking the first detour on Episode 10.

You will get A Tankless Job if you are following the Kurara path or Think Tank if you are following the Miou Path.

Nice Kitty
Defeat Mr. Cat (New Game Only)


No More Mr. Nice Cat
Defeat Mr. Cat


Mr. Cat's scenario is in the second detour at Episode 11.

In order to beat this on New Game (not NG+), you will have to invest around 4.1 million crates.

• 1m to develop Curry (200k to develop and assemble Cola to enable development of Curry)
  
• 300k to develop Radiotoxic Bomb (minor amount of crates to develop and assemble Daisy Bomb)
  
• 2m to assemble 2 Curry for your 2 Gonta (or the shock tank before it)
  
• 600k to assemble 2 Radiotoxic Bomb for your 2 Gonta

You will need to have 2 5-speed shock tanks equipped with Curry and a Radiotoxic Bomb each. Once ready, set up your shock tanks according to the screenshots below.


You need to take advantage of mid-battle saves (top right 'pause' button) in order to kill all Anti-tank Cats in 2 turns. Make sure to save before executing the turn.

Battle Achievements (Part 1) - 14

This segment of achievements cover everything related to battle (assembly, kills, etc).

A-Team
Win a Battle Without Losing a Single Unit


Self-explanatory. You get this naturally when playing by the book or farming wipeouts.

Fireworks
Kill Five Enemy Tanks in a Single Attack


Easy achievement. This becomes easier to achieve further into the story due to higher tier tanks' AoE (Area of Effect) capabilities. You can also get this quite early on by using the Daisy Bomb (see Sherlock achievement).

Blindfire
Destroy 25 Enemy Units Without Seeing Them First

Shut-In
Collect 1.000.000 Crates from Battles

Choko
Assemble 100 Tanks


Unstoppable Force
Achieve a Massive Victory

Liselotte
Win 25 Massive Victories

Shoutaro
Fight 50 Battles


Terminator
Destroy 500 Enemy Tanks

Blitzkrieg
Achieve Ten Speed Bonuses

Scorched Earth
Achieve Three Wipeouts

All of these achievements are gained over time.

• Crates - the amount you can farm gets much larger as you get further along the story.
  
• Massive Victories - earned for having a large advantage over your enemy (number-wise)
  
• Wipeouts - earned for completely destroying the other team (farmable; see All for One for easiest method)
  
• Speed Bonuses - earned for winning fast (see Sherlock for easiest and earliest method)

Purple Heart
Ensure a Safe Return for at Least 12 Wounded Units


A unit is considered wounded if one of its cells is damaged. Just keep winning while keeping multi-cell tanks alive after they have been hit in order to add to this achievement.

All for One
Kill All Enemies by Using the Same Unit


This achievement is easy to get in Yumishirogahara by using any highly modded aoe unit (Cat/Heshiko/etc).

One for All
Kill at Least One Enemy Tank Using Each of Your Tanks in a Battle


You can combine this with Superior Intel.

İlk olarak Asdfplaya tarafından gönderildi:

All for One, One for All and Superior Intel can all be done simultaniously by only using heshiko in the first battle

Battle Achievements (Part 2) - 5

Lord of Flies
Successfully Intercept 10 Attacks


The best map to get this achievement is 'Carpet'. Keep in mind that Interceptors only prevent Barrage attacks. (thanks everyone for clearing this up)

Big Bang
Achieve a Wipeout Using Only Shock Tank Attacks


There are several ways to do this. One of them is by playing the bomb map with 2 5-speed shock tanks (one of them equipped with a Daisy Bomb). The idea is to use mid-battle saves to make sure you get the most 'bang for your bomb'. Use 1 shock tank to detonate the bomb on the closest enemies. Use the other shock tank to force a Hachi to detonate near its teammates.

Check out YdenMkII's video on this method:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzSfeorTFqo

Superior Intel
Win a Battle Using Only Heshiko


This is an easy achievement to get if you use +Target Area and +Shooting Range on Heshiko (or any op module really). Just shoot at the general location of the commander in Yumishirogahara (the easiest free battle map) and you'll get the achievement.

Scout's Honor
Kill Five Enemy Units with a Scout Tank in a Single Battle


I recommend doing this achievement with Koharu due to her superior stats.

Sword of the Samurai
Win a Battle Using Only Melee Attacks


Another easy achievement. Just equip +Target Area modules on Sekigahara and lay waste to Yumishirogahara.

Research Achievements - 9

These achievements simply require crate farming to obtain.

** It's impossible to develop Koharu or finish the Assault research line before fighting Mr. Cat on new game (not new game+) since you need Sekigahara to get them. **

Easy Crate Farming:

These 2 maps are unlocked on NG+

Free Battle Map - Colosseum #26 - Killing off your commander nets you 300k each loss.

İlk olarak Asdfplaya tarafından gönderildi:

level 26 300k even if you lose
and you even have the bonus level if you start a new game after finishing the game(100%/all 4 endings)

Free Battle Map - Carpet #25 - Killing off your commander nets you 200k each loss.

İlk olarak h4 tarafından gönderildi:

use carpet (#25) imho. place heshiko in front of the enemy melee so she dies quickly. or if you have a high speed unit, use it to execute heshiko and end the battle faster. minimum 200k for doing nothing.

To farm crates for 'New Game only', you'll want to finish the game once first to unlock the Bomb map. See Big Bang achievement for YdenMkII's video on farming this map.


Girl Scout
Complete Scout Research Line


Supreme Commander
Complete Command Research Line


Shock And Awe
Complete Shock Research Line


Steady Does It
Complete Barrage Research Line


Killjoy

A Slight Advantage
Develop 30 Modules

Free Battle Achievements - 4

This next set of achievements are gained from beating certain Free Battle Maps.

The Cat Came Back
Defeat a Horde of Cats


This is a harder version of the detour scenario with Mr. Cat. You will be rewarded with 'Cat Ears' upon winning the battle (it allows your unit to mimic the Cat's parameters).

The best advice I have heard so far (and that I personally tried as well), is to try 3 Gontas with the Radiotoxic Bomb+Curry and have a back-up line of Line-mons/cats/etc.

I detonated the leftmost Gonta to wipe out the immedate threats and then moved my 2 remaining shock tanks 1-2 cells forward (remember to save in case you miss or get killed randomly). Once the cats have finished hitting air, I proceed to detonate the last 2 Gonta to cut down the enemy's numbers further.

With all your Gontas gone, you just need to pick off the remaining cats using your back line. Having Tank GPS (+3 sight) x2 on your Commander helps a ton.

See screenshots below for a few examples on what I just mentioned.



Pesticide
Clear Fruit Bat Bonus Maps


The 2 Fruit Bat bonus maps are 'Fruitbat Outbreak' and 'Fruitbat Invaders'.

The first map requires you to kill all enemy commanders using only 1 commander. I suggest doing Kurara's route combined with Satou's lessons (see Episode Achievements) because it unlocks an upgraded Heshiko later into the story.

If you also managed to complete The Cat Came Back, you can equip Cat Ears to make your Heshiko even more powerful and therefore make the first map easier. Just use a +sight module and play safe while going through the left side and killing everything you see. Never rush in too deep and make full use of your sight to pick off enemies that can't reach you.

As far as the second map goes, 'Fruitbat Invaders' just throws a bunch of Gontas at you that can catch you off-guard if you proceed without caution. It's not too hard but you have to take into account that there are a massive number of them. Just make sure to deploy all your units and go with Line-mons/cats because you'll need fast-moving units to counter Gonta Invaders.

(Map 1)



(Map 2)





Meat Grinder
Overcome Megumi's Counterattack


One of the Colosseum maps will be described as Megumi's counterattack. Beat it and you'll get the achievement. Watch out for cats!

Optional: Wiping out one side of the map of a Gonta will make this battle go quicker but it's not really necessary to win. Just stick to using Cats gained from the detour scenario and Line-mons.

Check out Equitas Invictus' video on this battle:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=218195833


Alter Ready
Receive a Special Token


This achievement is obtained for beating all Colosseum maps in order (top to bottom). You'll be notified with 'Special Save Data Created!' if you get it.

All maps are essentiall the same. Expect cats. The only difference is a slight change in layout each time and slightly harder difficulty.

Miscellaneous Achievements - 1

A Royal Treat
Equip a Command Tank with Curry and Cola


It costs 2.2 million crates to get this achievement.

• 200k to research and assemble Cola
  
• 2m to research and assemble Curry

[James Logan 87]

Hi Jedo, I just got all of the chievements thanks to your awesome guide. congratulations on a job well done, if I may add to the people following it be sure to keep track of the endigs you have already played otherwise yo'll need to replay them, in order to fast forward the text use the CTRL key. regards!

[Todd the Godd]

Thank you, thank you so much. I finally managed to get all achievements. Even survived the Cat-astrophes.

[Knto]

As said, you don't need Curry, Cola is enough (possible even not needed if you're sure you can survive the first attcks) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG18X_CVRQU

@S.A.W. That's hardcore .-.

[M1L4_1707]

Annihilated cats with 14 gontas equipped with daisy bomb, so... if you love pain in the ass, you'll love this tactic

[Knto]

You do not need Curry for the Detour achievement of Mr. Cat, I managed to kill it with Cola and the Radiotoxic Bomb, it's way cheaper, of course, it's still bound to trial and error, I recommend saving beforing sortying since the cats seem to be and attack in different places all the time.

[Chen]

Hello there, just thought I should throw this in here for a moment.
I'm having a lot of trouble defeating Mr. Cat on NewGame+. I set up my shock tanks exactly as the pictures specify, both of which have curry and a radioactive bomb (after a lot of grinding) And yet whenever I send them out and detonate them, they don't kill all of the cats.
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not. If I try to add more units, they always end of dying before I have a chance to send them out.
I'd appreciate it if someone could lend me some advice with this.

[The Festive Potato]

I got alter ready just by beating map 28, I did not beat any of the other collosum maps, as far as im concerned. It even says you will get something special for beating it, im pretty sure you just have to beat map 28.

[DoryIII]

For "Not the Brightest Pea in the Pod", a cheaper way is to field just Aoba's, since they're cheap (with maybe 1-2 Tsubasa if you have money). I did that with first try and no grinding. It's really cheaper than trying to get daisy bombs.

[ZenTori]

For the Nice Kitty achievement, because the cats can spawn in two different sets of locations, you need to move the left Gonta three spots to the right to make sure the radiotoxic bomb can hit them all if the cats don't spawn in the locations in your screenshots.

http://puu.sh/gEouL/3449072918.bmp

The right Gonta can still hit three of them, so that doesn't need to be changed.

[Tsu]

Mr Cat Returns becomes rather easy if you go through the game 9 times to get 9 cats and use them in the battle.
