Rambo Style, No Pain No Gain.

[Deso.]

Any ideas how do those two?

[Spirit]

Rambo style just go to the Stage with a Lake, build a tower at the top left corner and upgrade it to the max, you get 12 gloomies in wave 2, once you kill them just restart and repeat (sometimes you hit gloomies and might not get it counted) but at least you dont have to wait 6+ waves to get to them.

No pain no gain just go to the last stage and build only druid towers. Call waves early so there is big blobs of enemies. And use reinforcements to slow down the enemy so they can get hit by the curse. Last stage is the best since you get a lot of strong enemies, the best is when you curse them, because if you curse a spider it will probably die fast to projectiles, but you have no control over that, jusrt RNG.

Both achievements will take some grinding, rambo style counting is weird, so you might go for hundreads of flying enemies before you get it, and no pain no gain needs 100k damage, so yeah.

I still don't have the Rambo Style achievement. I've been doing the level with the clickable gryphons and only build archers and maximize the Arcane Burst arrows. There's so many flying enemies, but I still haven't unlocked it.

I tried to do various stages with Gloomies, but I think when they multiply the extras don't count, only the original. I've killed over 50 Gloomies in one level (The one with the beanstalk) but I still didn't get it.

When you are on Windows go to user --> AppData (it's a hidden folder per default, you can google for guides to make them visible) --> Roaming --> Kingdom_Rush_Origins_>slot1.lua

It's the first counter, where you can see how far you are, I have the achievement with over 50:
["ARCANE_BURST"] = 52;

I'm on 32. Thanks, atleast I now know it's not bugged. I'll keep playing the gryphon level every now and then :)

Clone don't count.

Mutiple arcane tower may take disadvantages. The target of burst arrow may be killed by other tower and the arrow will explode in the place where target died instead of home another target.

Try this:
Start like this

Build second arcane before wave 7

Don't build any other tower excpet 5 holders near to the life point. You may get avg 4 count in whole mission. And you can use the 5 holders to complete other archivements likes IT'S A KIND OF MAGIC, COUNTER MASTER, 1 2 3 PLANT, KINGSFOIL LEAVES, NO PAIN NO GAIN

You can check for yourself but I also played the stage with the gryphon and my counter went only up by 3 I believe.
It was 4-10 by the first level with the Gloomies where there is the wolf, pig and snow white.
I got the feeling the counter triggers only in 20% of the cases, like I saw my burst arrows killing probably 10 individual birds but then I only got a higher counter by 3 or how many Gloomies I killed and then got 4 and another time 10.
It was bizarre to me.

Do you have upgrade of Bloodletting Shot. The target may be killed by other tower or bleeding. The arrow will still explode in the place where target died if the target get killed first. And it is almost impossible to kill more than one fiying enemie in one shot. The real position of flying enemie is its place of shadow. Perythons are not so close than they looked like. Clone gloomies don't count.

[Gear D4C3]

Bloodletting Shot was active that may interfere with the counting although the burst arrow is an instant kill.
But I played several times with only 1-3 towers, each not crossing enemies at their range.
I really focussed only on the occasion that the burst arrow would kill one enemy without further kills from the AOE.

I may try it again on the second save slot and look at the counter.

I just finished the Gryphon stage again and I only got +1 kill while my entire map was covered in those acher towers. Going to try the Gloomies stage again.

I suppose I can also verify that the "Rambo Style" achievement doesn't count Gloomy clones. I still don't know if it counts kills from the Arcane Arrow explosions, but I know that after killing maybe 300+ Gloomies in the Grimmsburg map, the achievement finally unlocked for me here:

Maybe give that setup a try, if you're still having problems?
