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