How to unlock the Survivor achievement in Babel Rising - Definitive Guide

Survive 5 minutes when the tower is almost complete.

Depending on your skill in tower-defence style games, this achievement is actually quite easy. The problem, is determining what "Almost Complete" means by the games standard.

Load up the first tower on easy difficulty in Survivor. Pick your 2 elements you are the best with, personally I always used Earth and Wind, just make sure you can handle a large amount of humans with whatever technique you use!

Now you are ment to let the humans build the tower all the way to the top. There is a little temple that they build on top and from the point that they plant the foundations for the temple, they only need 3 more humans to win! Let them plant the first bit into the temple (It will have 4 little pillars) then from here, simply hold off for 5 minutes! I suggest going for this after finishing the Campaign, or atleast after a bit of experience, as that way you'll know how to best use your skills (Ie, not get run over by cursed jars and priests), and know to watch for their construction building that spawns them half-way (Which should always be quickly dealt with).

Just a note for wasting a little bit of time;
When playing Survivor, there are boat waves like in the Campaign (Once you get that far). When a boat wave is up next, the humans stop spawning. Once you have eliminated the final one, the "Press cn_LB" option comes up. Try to pick up on the humans not spawning, as that way, you can let the last one take the minute journey all the way up before you cruelly end his hopeless life. I then let the option to press cn_LB wait 5 seconds before I pressed it (As hey, 5 seconds could be the difference between winning and loosing if you get overrun!). This will grant you a bit of extra time to breath.

The achievement pops the instant you hit the 5 minute mark :) Thank Zetenge for finding the best point for stopping the construction!

Use the meteor shower to destroy as much of the top of the tower as possible once they have built up to the third piece of the temple to buy yourself plenty of extra time. Once the third piece is in place the 5 minute timer starts and keeps counting even though the temple portion will be destroyed. Just got the achievement easily this way.

Got it on my first attempt using fire and wind! Not too difficult because they only come from one direction on the first level. Much better than the other guide!

Okay i just unlocked it some seconds ago.

I think there just needs to be one part of the temple. It took really long that the 3. part was build. It was at 8:11 and the achievement unlocked at 11:10. So i assume that there just needs to be one of four required parts to build the little temple on top.

1. Part 4 Little pillars
2. Part 4 bigger pillars
3. Part "Half roof" with a hole in the middle
4. Part Full Roof and lose.

So i assume you just need the 1. Part where you can see 4 little pillars and need to survive 5 Minutes till then.

Just a note:

The last human will place the roof on that little temple, if that happens you lose. The Temple needs 4 Parts (including roof) to complete and they start to building it after they finished the path.

I just got this on my first play (I started on survival). Thanks for pointing out the moment the timer starts running! I let a few ones go to the top until I saw the temple base, then I smashed parts of the top in with a fireball storm.

With this method you can win the achievement while in the campaign, put on level XII play normally until the last wave, in the last wave kill all the workers, but leave one Construction Tower alive, just 5-6 workers will get out there each time, kill them and wait the next ones, hold for 5 minutes and the achievement its yours, the tower is almost complete after the workers who dont come from the tower go up 3 stairs and begin to build a small room on the last floor, dont let them finish the room or it will be game over.

There were no tower on the last wave! So because of this info I have to redo it. Perhaps you meant on wave 39 or so because i destroyed that one thinking there would be another tower at wave 42.

This achievement requires that you survive 5 minutes when a tower is almost complete and can be done in either Campaign or Survival. This is most easily obtained on the very first Survival level, Great Ziggurat Divinity. I would recommend bringing fully-upgraded Water and Wind as your powers, the fully-upgraded Element Spirit passive power, and a Slowing Scroll. Let the workers build the tower until it is "almost complete." This is the point when the bases of the four small pillars on top of the tower are visible. Take note of the time, as you are now working towards the five minutes. At this point, only 3 or 4 more workers will finish the tower, so stop everything at all costs. If you are not confident, start taking out workers before than final pillars are visible and then let small amounts of manageable workers build until the tower is almost complete. This is a very easy level, so you should have no trouble completely defending the top for 5 minutes. The achievement will pop immediately when 5 minutes is reached.

Go to Survival, select the first tower, difficulty is easy. We wait until the workers are almost finished (not everyone manages to earn this trophy the first time) and begin to wait and kill.

I want to add. Time begins to pass after the upper platform is built, where the last turret is placed.
