Medieval Madness tactics

[I Want Your Mom]

Since MM is my favorite table, I play it a lot. Still can't get 2 wizard goals: Win Battle for the Kingdom and win video mode. These are pretty hard to get. Anyway, if somebody else loves this table as much as I do and trying to learn it for now, here're some tactic tips, which can make your life easier.

1. ALWAYS start the ball with left flipper pushed, do a skillshot and Hurry Up award. 10 hurry ups will give you extra ball, and the faster you get 10, the better. Didn't get one? Start over.

2. Next aim to castle wall and get Castle Multiball as soon as possible. Shoot loops 5 times, collect Castle Jackpot and you have your 1st extra ball. If you're skillful enough, try collecting Super Jackpots and collect Caste Jackpot again - you'll get another extra ball. Lost Castle Multiball? Start over.

3. Assuming you got your 1st extra ball already, aim for the gates and try to destroy at least 2 castles (3 is better). This will give you the second extra ball and you'll be one third on the way to Castle Crusher. Didn't destroy at least 2 castles? Start over.

These 3 steps must be done with FIRST BALL. I really recommend splitting castle crashing into 3 steps, for this is extremely annoying and time consuming process.

4. Now try to lite Royal Maness (not hard actually) and win it (quite hard, since you have only one ball in play). Don't worry, if your Royal Madness started with 1-2 madnesses. The rest ones will give you Hurry Up award and extra ball at the end. I even prefer to launch 1st Royal Madness with lesser madnesses lit to get more Hurry Ups.

5. Now you may try to destroy another 2 castles for the sake of diversity. Or even better, lite another Castle Multiball and use it to destroy castles. Not much use of it anyway, when you get your extra balls.

From here you're free to do everything you want in any order. Hope, this tactic will help someone to get further, like it did to me.

Also it helps a lot if you save 2 troll bombs for Battle for the Kingdom. Normally the trolls stay up the whole time of the mode. IF you use the bombs though they go down, making the mode that much more easier. Thanks to Pezi_pink for the hint.

Damn! This is a MUST! I lost my Battle due to that stupid trolls, however I DID have some bombs for them. I just dinno, they can be killed that way.

I didn't even know troll bombs was a thing.

Learn something new everyday.

I assume using the plunger activates the bombs similar to the smart punch in Champion Pub?

Yep, exactly.

Thanks for sharing these tactics. I never liked MM before, but Pinball Arcade taught me the fun of it.

Using this tactics I've finaly managed to complete this table. Only stupid video mode is left. Looks pretty unbeatable to me.
