I can't get the perfect achievement and i'm not having any luck just wandering around hoping it will happen. I know some people are finding it easy, but some are finding it reeeeally hard, so I want to make a pattern that will do it 100% guaranteed.

 

Here is part 1, a simple pattern which will guarantee you all four ghosts from the top right pill on level 10 and doesn't even need your cornering to be that good. The points marked on the pattern are:

http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/584/pac1nt4.jpg

• A - Start
• B - When you come through the tunnel, go just far enough to grab a single dot then turn back
• C - Wait when you get to this point. All the ghosts will be coming toward you. When the red ghost is just about to get you, go up, get the power pill, then follow the green line to eat all the ghosts.

 

As I figure out the other three pills in reliable ways i'll post patterns, unless everyone thinks this is really sad, in which case i'll not bother :) If anyone has any ideas for follow ups i'm happy to make the images.

 

Damn it. Got it slightly wrong. Here is the correct part 1!

Just to throw something else in, in this post http://forums.xbox.com/5979054/ShowPost.aspx a guy called Rileymesh describes a pattern that you can use on level 1 to get all four ghosts on the bottom left power pill.

 

It works really well. I've made a graphic for it, kind of easier than reading it and trying to figure it out. Start at point A, get the pill at point B:

The only problem is that once you eat the ghosts there seems to be no set pattern that works in getting the second pill. Sometimes when you eat the costs you can get them all within a couple of seconds, then other times they scatter really badly and it takes several seconds. This obviously effects the distance between the ghosts when they regenerate and therefore changes their pattern making it next to impossible to predict the next part. Looks to me as though from here on out you're going to have to rely on skills and a heavy dose of luck.

 

I say luck because those ghosts can sometimes stick together when you get the pill and sometimes they scatter so wildily it's impossible to get them all.

 

The most effective tactic I've found is to head directly upwards once I've eaten the ghosts, up along the left hand side. Most of the ghosts will follow if you stay stationary at the very top within their line of sight, then move over to the right handside to get the top right pill. Doesn't work all the time, but more often than not it does.

Well if you find a pattern that works for each pill the first time you can do the pattern, die do the next pattern, die and so on four times. 

Not enough lives unfortunately.

Geo Wars Survivor

you do have enough lives thou
you can start with 5 lives and get achievements and even with 3 i think it is possible seeing as after you eat 12 ghosts you get a free life for having 10000 points

Good point. Didn't think of that. As a last resort I might use five lives. I know it's not cheating to use them but still...

I've gotten this achievment for a friend and myself. Just simply stick around the right tunnel until all ghosts are out and follow the orange ghost to the closest corner and when the time is right pick up a coin when the ghost are closest to you. If there not close, just let them kill you and don't take a chance with the coin.

Right gang, I've done it. Started off with the second pattern FieldEffect posted on level one. After the first pill I deliberately died. Next life I went left until I hit a wall (sorry guys but I can't be bothered to draw a diagram!), then up, then left to go through the tunnel and appear on the other side. All turns have to be sharp by the way otherwise it either won't work or you'll have a hard time eating all the ghosts. After appearing through the other tunnel, carry on until you hit the wall, then head down until you again hit a wall. Go right, then first down, then first leftm first down, first left, first down, first left, first up, first left, first up, first right, first up, first left, first up and continue until you hit the wall to the left of the ghosts' entrance. Race right across the face of the entrance until you hit the wall, then head down until you hit another wall. From here head right until you hit the wall, which should be right above the lower right hand dot. Wait here until the last possible second and get the dot, then chase.

 

Sorry it's long-winded but if you get a pen and paper you should jot it down easily.

 

After you've got the ghosts which shouldn't be too hard unless you're extremely unlucky and they head in impossibly different directions, then just die. You should have one more life.

 

Repeat the same pattern but instead of leaving the controls until Pac-man hits the wall above the lower right dot, just head up along the corridor the in the direction of the higher right dot. Take a right then wait just under the dot until the ghosts catch you up. Eating the dot and catching the chasing pack of ghosts should give you an extra life, so at this point die so you can redo the pattern once more.

 

Again, follow the same route, but somewhere towards the end when you're comfortable the ghosts are hot on your tail, break off and loop around to get the final dot in the upper left hand corner. Fingers crossed they should be close enough for you to get.

 

Happy hunting!!

Thanks Rileymesh and FieldEffect.  I followed the patterns and tips you put on this forum and got the perfect achievement pretty quickly. 

Glad to be of assistance.

it worked, but you have to be precise

any tips for all 4 times

Sweet! I did it using this plan....three lives level one, i followed instructions for the first second and third packs of ghost when i got an extra life I went to the middle and just kept circling the ghosts' spawn box and when all four came out I rushed up to the top left pill and waited then ate it and the four ghosts were right next to me. Hope that helps and have fun.

Well I decided to make a chart from the descriptions above cause it would help me and I thought I would go ahead and post them.  I added the olther and made a complete "walkthrough" set.

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4-"Follow the same route, but somewhere towards the end when you're comfortable the ghosts are hot on your tail, break off and loop around to get the final dot in the upper left hand corner."

Thanks to Fieldeffect, Rileymesh, and everyone else who contributed to the thread.  Hope the pics help a little more.

Glad it's working for you guys. Sorry I couldn't be bothered to make the diagrams myself, I was spent just working the achievement out! Cheers Hope For Chaos for sorting it out though.

---

Yeh I hope those charts are accurate to your description.  It took me a while to get the achievement but using these charts and improvising off of them is your best bet for getting all the ghosts.

I got it! It took me like an hour, but it was worth it. You guys are brilliant. Thanks for the strategy. Works really well.

that worked after like 30 min when i was able to do the patterns in my head and know where to go

I need help on Step 4.

After getting the 3rd one, I must die on purpose and start the 4th one afresh, right ? But the chart for the 4th one is exactly the same as Step 3. I do not quite understand the description ".... but somewhere towards the end when you're comfortable the ghosts are hot on your tail, break off and loop around to get the final dot in the upper left hand corner."

As a picture tells a thousand words, can anyone be kind enough to help draw a chart for this Step 4. ? I left this one last achievement to unlock.

Thanks a lot

RyanKhoo, there isn't a chart to draw really.  No one has figured out teh pattern as of yet and really the chart on step 4 will get you started but you're gonna ahve to improvise and make it work.  Follow the chart and they should be on your tail then try to lead them over to the top left pellet.  I also think it would be safe to say that after you do #1 you can go after another...preferably the top ones and if you die its ok just go on with #2 and so on.  These patterns work but sometimes the ghosts change patterns slightlya nd throw the whole thing off.  Just  keep tryin and eventually you can get it.  Plus these patterns get you goin in teh rigth direction and you aren't randomly runnign around trying to gather all the ghost.

Thanks mate for your response and encouragement.

But I need to know what I have to do after I eaten the 3rd set of  4 ghosts ? Do I die and start with a new life and go thru the chart afresh or I just continue ? I mean if I just continue without dying, by the time I eat the 4th pallets, will all the 4 ghosts be nearby me for me to eat all of them ?

I am on 11/12 now. This last achievement is killing me. Really envy you guys who did it.

Thanks

 

Easiest thing to do is die after you've eaten the third set of ghosts. You should then be on your last life. Go through the same pattern you've taken for the third pill, but when you'd turn right at the top to come at the third pill from underneath, turn left to head in the direction of the fourth pill. The ghost should still be on your tail, just like they were when you went for the third pill, so just lead them over to the fourth.

 

The ghosts are still a bit random, but the purpose of these patterns I worked out, the ghosts SHOULD be clumped together as best as possible, giving you a better chance of success. They are not guaranteed.

 

Good luck.
