<Selknam Defense> 100% Achievement Guide

A brief clarification and a bit of direction on how to obtain all the achievements in this game

Achievements

Campaign Playthrough (72/72 Stars)

Big Secret
You found a crude reality.
During the ending credits, after the boss, type on your keyboard (use the arrow direction keys):
UP - UP - DOWN - DOWN - LEFT - RIGHT - LEFT - RIGHT - B - A - ENTER
and you will be taken to the secret ending level. As the level starts the achievement should pop. I had to spam the code a few times before it worked.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Approach
Complete the three first levels on campaign mode, obtaining nine stars.

Selknam Authority
Raise a complete class of Selknams to level 3 (archers, bowlers, warriors or mages).

A new challenge
Unlock the survival mode.

Selknam Mastery
Raise all units to level 3.

What happened?
Discover the genuine evil.

Epic finale
You defeated the evil boss.


All of these achievements will be unlocked as you play through the campaign getting 3 stars on each and every level. Use the stars to upgrade and unlock your units. You will need all 72 stars to earn the Selknam Mastery achievement.

To earn 3 stars in each level you will need to beat each one without losing a life. (You CAN lose lives on the boss fight, but you CAN'T lose lives on level 24). There are probably many viable methods to doing this. The general strategic method I used was:

• Mostly basic archers. Mix in some of the stunner bowlers with the basic archers. This is your core army make up. You'll probably want to find a highground area in each map where you can place your army so they can rain down attacks and kill the enemies before they have a chance to attack. Either that or set them back off the path by a few tiles, and the enemies will ignore them. This will prevent you from really needing to buy healers on most levels, but you may need some on later levels (and will definitely need them for the boss).
  
• You'll want to throw in a few poison archers near the enemy entry points for maximum effect. You only need 1 or 2 poisoners for most levels, as the effect doesn't stack. On some of the bigger, later levels you may need to place more poisoners to reinstate the effect on enemies because it will wear off eventually. Set your poisoners back a few tiles from the main path and the enemies should mostly ignore them (except for suicide convicts). Don't worry if a "Suicider" kills them every now and then, simply replace them.
  
• You'll also want to use speed mages to buff your basic archers / stunner bowlers. You will want to take note of the area of effect of the speed mages' buff and fully utilize as many tiles as you can per mage... this will prevent you from needing to buy that many mages, while still buffing several units.
  
• Effectively micromanaging can help a lot too. Swap a damaged unit with a full health unit to keep units alive without having to spend money on a healer. Selling dying units can make the game much easier. If some of your units are badly poisoned or will otherwise definitely die, try to quickly sell them and then just replace them.

Miscellaneous Achievements

Good Strategy
Switch position between two units.
Pretty basic explanation for this one. Just swap one unit with another.


Honorable Tank
Resist a suicide explosion with your Selknam tank preventing your allies death.
I didn't really use Tanks in real play. But to get this achievement I just quickly spawned a tank in front of one of my units as a suicide convict approached. The tank, since it was brand new, survived the explosion and the achievement popped.


It's about money
Sell a unit that is almost dead.
Another straightforward achievement. The unit will need to be very close to death.


OverBuffed
Reach at least eight buffed Selknams at the same time.
One fully utilized buffer mage (either speed or power) will provide you with 8 buffed Selknams. Another easy achievement.


Invincible
Pass one of the levels from second world and above, on triple speed.
I beat all the second world levels on triple speed, as they require very little micromanaging. Pick one where you are confident in your strategy. Make sure you turn the speed up right away at the start of the first round before the first unit spawns, and keep it on 3x until the level ends.


Super poisoner
Kill five enemies using only poison.
This one is probably easiest to get by just loading a level with the intention of getting it done. Build some poison archers on an early level and wait for it to pop.


Debuffer
Confuse, stun and catch with a network the same enemy.
This one is probably easiest to get by just loading a level with the intention of getting it done. Build one of each bowler unit on an early level and wait for it to pop.


It's about time
Beat the 7 minutes and 29 seconds on survival mode.
Not very hard at all, if you just stay on top of rebuilding units that die you can get there. You will start to have so much money, just remember to keep building / replacing dead units and don't find yourself sitting there watching.

"Super poisoner" is not working for me.
Any suggestion?

Thanks Man!

For "Big Secret":
I tried the Konami Code (Key Combination ;) ) only once, and then I tried to beat the Level. Got no Achievement. You get it when you go Main Menu->Play->Continue Campain. Achievement will pop up in Level Selection.
