Introduction

I allways like 100% guides for one simple reason.
I like to know what i need to look out for, to avoid missing missable achievements, before i get to the point of no return.
This is also the reason i decided to write my second guide, because every game deserves to have at least one 100% guide and there is none for Tower of Time at the moment.

I suggest saving at least at every Tower level start and keeping them until you are finished with the game.
By doing this, most missable achievements can be done with minimal effort if you missed them.

However i highly recommend you read the requirements for Min-Max early on. This achievement is highly missable and you cant get back on track to be able to get it if you allready proceded to far in the game. Reading it wont spoil you anything storyrelated.

I have kept every achievement that is hidden under a spoiler flag.
For Story related and unmissable ones this includes even the achievement name.
For every other hidden achievement the name can be read so you will be able to search for it.

If you look for missable achievements i have marked all of them with
#missable
there is also
#missable in theory
they are technically missable but even if you are in a situation that you are not able to get them anymore chances are high that you can recover by just playing further.

Epic difficulty

Each of this achievements require that you play them in one save. You can not do it by reloading a saved game and do the same fight over and over. You can however change the difficulty in between. So you do not need to play the whole game on Epic difficulty. I suggest you count using the battles on the map when you decide to skip fights on epic difficulty. The reason is some ambushes count but not all of them.

Some Tips.

• The Champion closest to a new enemy gets the initial aggro.
  
• Use aggro as advantage and kite enemys around the map whenever you feel overpowered or overrun.
  
• Kane and Rakhem both can be awesome tanks.
  
• Status effects will be applied to area attacks as well! (Maeves exploding shots).
  
• You can get enough gold to level every champion to Level 15 by the end of the game, so do not wait to allways level up your favorite champions.
  
• Some skills can be set to autocast with the circular arrow symbol in the top right of the skill. Helpfull for the Buffs skills you want to have allways active.

For me it worked with
Kane:
Might + Life / I gave him almost every buff from scrolls and fountains. At the end he had Might, Life and Speed at max and some mastery to increase his heal.
He gives you tools to manage the aggro on the field and can block line of sight so you have time to heal. You will even be able to tank and spank with him later on.

Maeve:
Might + Speed
Her explosive shot combined with a weapon that inflicts status effects can make entire groups of enemies unable to attack.

Rakhem:
Mastery + Life + Might
His Self Buff improves his abilitie to soak up hits by a large margin, his hammers can heal him up quite fast, combined with runes and fireball which can make entire enemie groups unable to do anything makes him awesome.

Aerik:
Mastery
He Buffs everyone, can support with taking away aggro with his Ent in the beginning. Buffs for additional Resistance as well as healing and later be able to ressurect and reduce the earth resistance of every enemy on the map makes him not powerfull on his own but a great supporter.

In the bottom part of the Level you will receive a side quest to defeat the orc leader.

By now you should know that aggro management can bring you a long way in beating difficult encounters. Your Armor Rating and Elemental Resistances are useless for this Encounter however you can get one of your champions +10% void resistance in the area befor the fight, and there is also a ring which adds another +20%

#Missable
Comrade in Arms: Win battle with mech alive
As part of the main story you will activate Mech. Mech will act like every other summoned creature in battle and you will not have control over him. For this achievement Mech must stay alive through the whole fight. If you have trouble use Khane for Croud Control to keep the attention away from Mech and Aeric for healing. At the end of the Level you can decide if you keep him or not, if you keep him he will be with you until the middle of Level 7.

Miscellaneous

All of this achievements are cumulative.

Resources are limited make sure you got all of them before you burn all your resources

#Missable in theory
Master Crafter: Craft 30 items
self explanatory


#Missable in theory
Master Enchanter: Apply 10 enchantments
self explanatory


#Missable in theory
Master Forger: Apply 30 upgrades to items
self explanatory


#Missable in theory
Master Transmuter: Transmute gems 30 times
self explanatory

Equipment

#Missable in theory
Ready For Adventure: Equip all items for a hero
Have all slots filled for one of your heroes. Do not bother with it if it does not come naturally you will get it alongside Purple is the new Black.

#Missable in theory
Purple is the new Black: Equip all Relics on one character
Have all slots filled with only purple items for one of your heroes.
Crafting can help you get this one fast, just reload after you got it to not waste resources on items you did not need.

Champion Progress

Becoming a Master: Increase a single skill to a maximum.
At Level 9 you can increase the third skill for each champion to its maximum. Only the main path of the skill is needed. It only unlocks while you are inside the tower!

Polymath: Learn all 8 skills on a single hero.
At Level 9 you unlock all skills for a champion


#Missable in theory
Professional: Increase any attribute to 30 points
Item boni do count. As long as you keep enough purple crystals (4 at highest level) for 1 respec you can get it without item boni around level 9.

New Heights: Reach level 6 with any hero
Should come naturally by playing the game. Collect the Blueprints for upgrading the buildings so you will be able to level up your champions to higher levels.

#Missable
Ultimate Power: Increase any attribute to max points.
The natural maximum for any attribute is 30 you can´t skill them higher.
The total maximum for any attribute is 50.
Scrolls and other sources that will increase a attribute directly will increase it over 30.
In case you respec after you got any attribute over 30 by this, you will be bound to the natural max of 30 again.
Most likely you have to rely on crafting to get the rest.
A level IV Item you craft will give you a minimum of 4 attribute points if it has the relevant attribute suffix.
The cheapest way is to craft items for Boron:
1. Head Armor: 5 crystals any colour as long as they are the same coulour
2. Hand Armor: 5 crystals any colour as long as they are the same coulour
3. Feet Armor: 5 crystals any colour as long as they are the same coulour
4. Shield: 5 crystals any colour as long as they are the same coulour
5. Upgrade each item one time 4x 1 green crystal
6: Respec 4 crystals purple
So as long as you keep the above mentioned resources at minimum you are able to get it.
However you propably need to reload often until you get the desired item with just the bare minimum resources.
Make sure you keep every item with at least +4 attribute points on it to make it easier for you to get this achivement.

#Missable
Min-Max: Achieve 50 points on two attributes
You can focus on giving one of your champions all the attribute points from quests, scrolls etc. to make getting this achievement as easy as possible. By doing so you will be able to have two attributes at 30. If you wait to get the scrolls etc. that give specific attributes you will come even closer to the 50
Basically everything i said for the Ultimate Power achievement is also true for this one, except that the requirements are doubled.
Depending on your chosen champion the minimum required resources can be different and also the colours you will need. I will give you only a rough number so you will be on the safe side regardless which champion you have choosen to focus on.
Keep at least 120 crystals from any colour and at least 1/3 of every other colour. So 120 blue, 40 green, 40 purple for example. Keeping this amount and having one champion with at least 30 attribute points through skill points on two attributes will let you get this achievement.

Combat - Part 1

All of the combat achievements cane be done in the challenges.
Every one that just needs a certain amount of activations or damage can be done in a training dummie challenge.
The ones that requires a certain amount of kills or applying status effects needs to be done in challenges which have enough enemies to do so.
Turning the difficulty down to story mode makes most of them very easy to get.

By a Thread: Win combat with health and mana of every champion under 10%
Can be done the easy way on Story difficulty setting, just use one hero (Kane) kill everything expect the last enemy (preferable a ranged one so you can just stand there and get hit without accidantly killing him) and wait until your health is under 10% and make sure you use your mana so it is under 10% as well when you are ready to deliver the final blow.

Life Sentence: Win battle with a caged hero
In a battle where one of your Champions got trapped in a cage at the beginning of it you need to win the battle without freeing him. The Risen challenge 4 provides you with such an fight.

Perfection: Finish battle with full hp of whole party
You can do this in a training dummy challenge. You need to be at least hit once from the golem and need to heal back to full health afterwards otherwise you wont get it.

Rise from death: Heal hero which has less than 5 HP
Can be any heal even the HOT ticks from the healing totem.


Spartan: Win battle with just one champion
You do not need to win a battle with just one champion.
You can get it with just 1 Hero alive at the end of a combat encounter.
You can get it in your first battle by letting Kane or Maeve die before you finish the fight.

To look death in the eyes: Win battle when whole party has less than 10 HP
Can be done the easy way on Story difficulty setting, just use one hero (Kane) kill everything expect the last enemy (preferable a ranged one so you do not have to bother with killing him on accidant) and wait until your health is under 10 before you deliver the final blow.

Combat - Part 2

Aeric

Healer: Heal 1000 damage in one fight with Healing Totem
You can do it in a training dummy challenge. Simple use Aerics Heal Totem. You do not need to heal damage, you only need the green numbers to add up to a total of thousand.

Summoning: Deal 1000 damage with Ent in one combat
You can do it in a training dummy challenge. Simple use Aerics summon Ent skill and let it fight the dummy.

Boron

Permanent Rage: Use Blind Rage 2 times in one combat
Boron needs to be Level 9. You can do it in a training dummy challenge. Just use Borons Blind Rage 2 times in it.

Kaela

My Personal Army: Summon Mech 4 times in one combat
You can do it in a training dummy challenge. Just use Kaelas summon mech skill 4 times in it.

Newton's Apple: Use Gravity Well 4 times in one combat
Kaela needs to be Level 7. You can do it in a training dummy challenge. Just use Kaelas Gravity Well skill 4 times in it.

Kane

Dash'em: Use Dash skill 10 times in one combat
You can do it in a training dummy challenge. Just use Kanes dash skill 10 times in it.
If you wait until Kane is Level 12 the cooldown for the skill is only 5 seconds.

I Am Strong, You Are Weak: Apply weakness to 20 enemies in one combat.
Kane needs to be at least Level 4. You need to weaken 20 different enemies in one combat. Kane can use his Taunt skill with the right upgrade path to do this. I suggest using just Kane in a fight to this, the last Risen challenge provides more then enough enemys for it. Use the buildings to lure the enemys in one place so you do not need to use the skill to often.

Justice Served: Kill 5 enemies in one combat with Blades of Justice
Kane needs to be at least Level 7. You need to kill 5 ememies, Start any Risen challenge just with Kane and lure them all in one spot on story difficulty using this skill is almost a guaranteed one hit. If you do not get it with your first use, wait the cooldown and repeat.

Maeve

Make It Rain: Deal 10000 damage in one combat with Rain of Arrows
Maeve needs to be at least Level 5. One fast way to get it is to do a fight in story mode with multiple enemies that have a lot of health. Luckely for us we can find one on Level 5. It is related to another hidden achievement The encounter you get while typing 0666 for the Number of the Beast achievements will spawn alot of enemys with around 2400 health each on story difficulty. The longer the fight goes the more will appear. Use Kane in his Tank role to get the attention of each enemy and use his two crowd control skills every time you start using Rain of arrows with Maeve to keep their attention. Do not forget to bring Maeves aggro reset skill as well. You can do this on an training dummy as well, but it will take some time because you have to wait for the cooldown so often

Master Sniper: Kill 3 enemies in one fight with Headshot
Maeve needs to be Level 9 but Level 10 is better because then you can skill colldown to zero if the headshot kills. Start the easiest non training dummy challenge on story difficulty and kill 3 enemies.

Rakhem

Deadeye: Blind 20 enemies in one combat
You need to blind 20 different enemies in one combat. Rakhem can use his blind skill and Maeve her arrow barrage or smoke screen skill. I suggest using just Rakhem in a fight to do this, the last Risen challenge provides more then enough enemys for it. Use the buildings to lure the enemys in one place so you do not need to use the skill to often.

It's a Fireball!: Cast Fireball 5 times in one combat
Rakhem needs to be Level 4. You can do it in a training dummy challenge. Just use Rakhems fireball skill 5 times in it.

It's a Trap!: Place Exploding Runes 5 times in one combat
You can do it in a training dummy challenge. Just use Rakhems fire rune skill 5 times in it.

Whisper

Beam me around Scotty: Use Teleport 5 times in one combat
You can do it in a training dummy challenge. Simple use Whispers Teleport skill 5 times in it.

Loving the Rainbow: Cast Elemental Barrage 25 times in one combat
You can do it in a training dummy challenge. Just use Whispers Elemantal Barrage skill 25 times in it. Do it without upgrades on the skill and on a high difficulty setting to make sure the dummy do not die before you are able to use the skill 25 times.

Last words

English is not my native language. However, I have decided to write this guide in english to help as much people as possible. If you find some major mistakes let me know and i will correct them.

Have fun playing the game and on your road to another 100% game!

This guide is considered completed.

[Double Dark]

Finally got 100% achievements. "By a Thread" counts summons as champions.

[Double Dark]

You're right. It's not that hard to get Min-Max with crafting before the final boss. There's a +15 stat fountain and +5 Speed fountain near the end which makes it easier along with plenty of legendaries with stats.

[Matwyn]

@Double Dark as long as you have 1 Char with at least two attributes at a minimum of 30 you can get it trough crafting. So keep in mind to keep the mentioned minimum resources for it. I can´t remember what the max level was but it does look that by the end of the game Maeve should qualify for it.

[Double Dark]

Hoping I can still get min-max... was splitting the attribute scrolls between my chars early on. Started stacking them on Maeve around level 4. She's 30 Might 21 Speed if I reset attributes as a Level 10.

[Matwyn]

@Solitudinarian. Yes that is possible as long as you do the required amount in differnt fights on the tower level. But as mentioned not all ambushes will count so keep that in mind.

[Solitudinarian]

If I finish the game from the beginning on normal, can I reload a save for each level and do it on epic for the achievements?

[Daven]
