How to unlock the The Piercing Light achievement in ARKANOID Live! - Definitive Guide

My strategy was going to Episode 2 with the settings Easy, Barrier 5, Enemies On (You can set to off, but I recommend enemies to beat level 10, so if you plan to keep going...).

Get to level 6. It should be a giant bubble-bobble guy. Try to start at the right 1/2 of the blocks looking for a laser. If you find a laser, continue to destroy the right 1/2 and left 1/4 of the board looking for the upgrade. If you don't get it, let the ball kill the barrier and continue.

Avoid mega balls, exit warps, vanish tiles, and division multi ball power ups. The secret is the fact that you can continue if you don't get the powerups.

Both sollutions listed will work, but after trying it on "1-1" for over 45 minutes, I gave "2-6" a try, and got it on the second try.

Got it just by playing through, not trying to avoid any blocks and just picking up two red bonuses, You're making it sound much harder than it actually is!

2-6 is MUCH easier. There are more suitable columns of bricks for blasting, more bricks total, and it's easy to toss the ball up the right side to break a lot of blocks right at the start.

negative vote
after reading your solution i still had no idea what to do.
you only tell us in which level you have to collect lasers, but you didn't tell us shooting 16 blocks is a requirement. i'll change my vote if you add this to your solution.

I would've thought that seeing as the achievement description says "Busted at least 16 blocks with a single Power Laser shot." that wasn't really necessary to be repeated in the solution... Then again, that's just my opinion.

Thanks for the tips akute :)

The description doesn't read 16 blocks, until after you get it. Thumbs down.l

Chapter 1, Level 2.

Take out a grey doublehit brick. Pick away at individual normal blocks and wait for an 'L' (laser) powerup. Continue until you get another and this will enable a Power Laser. Then head to the left and take out the largest column of bricks.

Obviously this requires a heap of luck but you can improve your odds slightly by going to 'Barrier' mode and making sure you let that barrier handle the ball if an 'L' comes down.

If you do break the normal brick on the right, this is okay as most of the time the ball will bounce back before it hits the left-side column.

I did mention this requires a heap of luck, right? ;)

After receiving the laser, you need to find an upgrade for it.
