The Official "I need help with A+ Rank" Thread

Alright, Ive done I think 4 levels for the A+ rank.. Ill post how to do them, and if anyone knows how to get the others let me know.

Firstborn Level.

Very simple, you need to get your titan bonus to about 20-30 percent. There are only a few guys who spawn, I think only 4, so you have to be sure to get the titan bonus on the boss or them. You need 8 dismemberments, and finish before 3 minutes.

Equip the Battle sword (If you dont have it, run thru fiend's pet level a few times and you'll get it.. it nets you around 600k per run thru) that kills everything in one hit. Hit the boss, knock him into the tower twice. Enemies appear. Kill them (hopefully getting a titan bonus), then kill the boss. Run to the top of the level and break open the six total chests, three on each side. You should end up with roughly 1000 tribute. Finish the level, and view your great A+ acheivement + Beat the level with the Battle blade.

Secondborn Level.

Even easier, as the boss has more skeletons to help you build up your titan meter. You need it at around 100 percent to get the tribute bonus, and finish before 3 minutes again. Break open all the chests once the boss is dead, and you should get around 30k I think (I have to check to make sure, but I'm fairly certain that was what I got and got it) and both A+ and beat the level with Battle Blade achievement will unlock.

Queen's Level (The Boss Fight)

Fairly Simple. Rush forwards and hit her once with the battle blade. Use the golden axe on both sides, and when she steps down again, hit her again. THIS TIME kill the ghouls that spawn, as THEY CAN COME FROM BEHIND YOU AND KILL YOU IN ONE HIT! Never EVER let them get the chance to shoot you ever. After the third time, the queen comes down once more, hit her again, end of level. Run around and get the chests. I had a titan bonus of no more than 20 percent, and still managed the A+ rank on my first try. It has to be finished in under 3:30 I think, and  you must have a few dismemberments. Doing this nets you the A+ rank + Beat the queen with the battle blade.


Fiend's Pet Level

VERY EASY. You have roughly 6 minutes to do it in though, so you can't waste too much time. Roar at the first beast, eat him. Tail the next three enemies, BUT WAIT TO EAT THEM UNTIL YOU GET TO THE DOOR, then eat them. The next section has four demons, tail them all, then tail the gnomes that appear. Get to the door, eat them. In the third area, you need to be quick and also tactful. Rush towards the enemies (Your bar should still be full) and tail them and then devour them (A + X). Turn around and you will see two giant claw creatures, two beasts, and some other random enemies. immediately roar and eat one of the beasts. Then impale BOTH the big huge creatures, then roar again and eat the beast to fill up the bar and head towards the door. RUSH THROUGH THIS, and when you get to the bridge, ROAR. Eat the beasts, as odds are your bar is near depleted. But don't eat them all, save one. Spine the enemies and eat them, then eat the final beast. Rush forwards to the gnomes, and roar THREE TIMES. They should all be dead, then the new enemies will appear. I think its like 3 beasts and 3 riders or demons. Roar again, and eat the beasts and spine the enemies. Do it fast as odds are your bar is near depleted again. The level ends after the last enemy is devoured or spiked. This will net you "DONT FALL OFF OF MEG" + A+ rank + Battle Blade Level achievement (even though you never actually damage anything).

These take time guys, it took me a few tries, but they were very easy afterwards.

DEATH ADDER

Be sure to select the battlers blade as well as brutal mode (it can be done on expert, but the X2 multiplier makes sure) but don't worry, you won't ever get hit when you need to use it. When walking to Death Adder, COUNT how many guys you kill.. it should be 11. Walk, dont run, and count them all, if you kill ten, restart. Otherwise YOU CANT GET THE A+ .. trust me I know.. I got an A and missed two dismemberments -_-V

Anyways. Start off the battle normally, block him and counter. THE FIRST TIME YOU GET +25 or +50 percent TITAN bonus, immediately go to the chests around the arena and break them all open. Don't worry, he can't hit you, hes too slow. You should get around 11k. Finish this part, and once you have the battlers blade equipped again, RUSH UP TO HIM AND SWING AND SWING. two swings will knock him to the vacuum. Repeat two more times. If you do not rush him I almost guarantee that he will swing and hit you.

The final battle is even easier.. just counter and swing.. DO NOT USE HEAVY ATTACKS USE QUICK ATTACKS.. they deal less damage but if you use heavy attacks its almost impossible to dodge his green attack where he stomps the ground twice.. you need to time it out. If he turns and raises his tail its evade, if he jumps and swings its evade. The four hit combo he does will take roughly 2/3 of your life.. don't get hit by it twice otherwise you may as well restart if he connects twice in a row. Also, be sure to knock out two snakes at a time. To do this, you need to quickly roll to one by pressing attack a little before you reach it, and you will fling into it.. to reach the second one in time, do the same thing. It takes a few tries, but if you take out two at once he recharges a heck of a lot slower and hes much easier to kill off. Other than that, its just luck and countering his attacks.

My stats

Tribute 11170

Time : 6:01:27

Dismemberments : 22 (22)

Difficulty : Brutal x 2

Total - 97,760 tribute

The Last Titan (The level where you fight BOTH First and Second born)

This level blows. I'll be completely honest, it took nearly 30 retries to get it perfect, and its a 3 minute long stage.. so yeah. Anyways.

Rush forwards so you are dead center in the area you start in, and turn around once the enemies spawn, they should be right in front of you (teleporting there) and do quick attacks until they are all dead. You may die here a few times, but keep retrying. You should end up with roughly 1800 in loot if done properly.

The second area go towards the stones and stay back and to the left. The two teleporters will come over to you, quick attack them, then the knight will come, attack him. A little gnome will spawn, IMMEDIATELY bat him away and avoid the potion. By this time the dogs will come, stay behind the stones until one comes, attack, then go kill the other one. IF THE DOGS ARE RUNNING OR JUMP BACK IMMEDIATELY EVADE.. they will kill you.. its a pain.

Alright, this next part is terrible. It's a matter of luck and getting it done VERY QUICKLY. RUSH TO THE LEFT wizard and kill him. Carefully rush towards the right wizard, a scene will play. now you can damage the two ogres.

I went for secondborn first, hes the one with more armor. Whichever you want first, attack BOTH of them until they are down (one hit), then push one of them into the tower, wait til he gets up, repeat. After one is down, go for the other. I lucked out three different times and firstborn didn't do his stupid earth move where he sends shockwaves into the ground.. if he does run. The secondborn does a stomp that sends rocks up above you (youll notice a white circle appear if he does) and it is way more annoying. After four hits, secondborn will die, and leave you with firstborn who is incredibly easy by himself. Hit him into the tower, repeat 3 more times.

By the way.. avoid the fire. As soon as you hit one of them into the tower, RUN. The fire CAN kill you.. I died twice on the last hit of firstborn because the fire leaped out farther than it should have. *Shakes fist madly* You will have way more than enough tribute to get the A+.. you should end with around 7,000-8,500

STATS

LOOT 8200
Time Played :  02:06 (5:30)
Damage Taken 0%
Dismemberments 38 (7) (38 is the most you can get, as that's all the enemies there are..)

Wow Ice, you are good.  Thanks for the guide.  I tried your advice, but apparently I am not very good.  It is a pipe dream for me to take absolutely no damage anywhere.... *sob*

Have you unlocked all the weapons by now?  With the way you are going, I am sure you are close.

The abilities are terrible.. the next one deals more damage as your titan bonus increases, the next one heals you as time passes by.. i forget the next one.. I only have a few more to unlock.

I wish the hp regen on the LBS was higher.  As it stands, it's only use is to cheese your way through Arena matches.  You're looking at around 30 minutes per Arena that way; not very efficient.

I unlocked the Death=Adder sword yesterday and the sword stinks. Can't even kill the weakest enemies. I think it must be a joke.

Next will be the 100,000,000 Golden Axe.

I beat the arenas with the base sword.. didn't need any of the others and managed B's and it took me 6-7 minutes for each..

 

if you're spending 30 minutes on it then you are doing something horribly wrong

That was actually my point.  There's no real use for this sword.

Island of Axir A+

Skill Level on Brutal

 

Really I was just messing about with the swords. The 1st (training) level was the one I was really after having done the others A+.

On the 1st (training) level I used the Wraithsbane sword. Playing for Titain Bonus in mind as the sword runs by it I also killed the guys that stand still and do nothing waiting for you to parry or evade, each in turn of doing the parry or evade I killed powering the sword to get added titain bonus. This helped boost the Titain Bonus overall while still trying to do the stage as quick as possible. Final Tribute unknown as I've beat all levels with the Battler's on Axir. Had loads of time to spare tho when I got A+...

 

 

Level 2 and beyond till the end.

Tho the stages can be done with most swords with an A+ you can do the whole lot with the Battler's Blade, die using a statue to continue and still get A+ as I did on the last level. Big Smile [:D]

 

The whole of Axir your really looking at keeping your Beast alive almost till the last bad guy just before the stage exit and allowing it to do all the work getting your kills and titain bonus. So if using the Battler's Blade you dont have much work to do other than keeping your beast alive.

Dont forget that while on a Beast you can run into enemies pushing them over or along to place them in a better spot for the kill/s. This comes in handy with the axe guards that need to be hit more than once before they die.

 

 

Level 2:

Your beast does all the killing. Do not use any magic other than lighting the last torch to open the gate. There is no need to re-fill you magic at all which will save a little time.

Final Tribute: 50400

 

Level 3

At the very start you need to get off your Beast so you can parry the bad guy's 1st lightning bolt while walking towards him and 1 slash with the Battlers. Get back on Beast. Once you get over the bridge put 1 foot on the other bridge just to tease the dogs in play... After this turn towards the chest and go around the left side to the right picking it up so to use the pillars as a shield, by the time you come out from the chest the dogs will be off the bridge. Just use the pillars again as a shield from the lightning bolt guy and use your beast to do all the work.

 

Work on up to the Magic thing you stand on. As soon as your on the Blue Magic thing stay there and wait for the Lighting Bolt guys to pop up - 2 taps on the Magic button to kill them. Remain on Blue thing so you have 4 out of the 6 magic left, your pick the other 2 up to get max at the start of level 4.

The last 2 enemies of this level being Lightning bolt guys its best to keep out of view, get off your beast and parry kill them. 

Final Tribute: 76160

 

Level 4

At the start your find your 2 extra Magic's to pick up to make the max 6.

Go down steps while on beast and go up as far as you can to the lightning bolt guys will allow without them firing, almost to the point of teasing them to fire and hit your magic button 3 times to cast the max 6 spell. This will wipe the whole lot of um out.

 

Pick up statue.

 

Go left first of all using beast to get the kills.

 

Head on over to other side but get off your beast while in a blind spot before you kill the last 3, 2 being the Lightning bolt guys. It was here infact I was killed by the bolts and finished the level with an A+!!

 

Head towards the last bridge but get off your beast before you front the last bad guy! One slash with the Battler's Blade and your home and dry.

Final Tribute: 25680 (like I said I died on this level towards the end and lost my titan bonus...)

 

 

Any ways, I'm sure there are many ways to play the Island of Axir getting A+, I did on some levels without the Battlers. The above is just one of those ways.

Good Luck.
