How to unlock the No Escape achievement in Bloons TD 5 - Definitive Guide
On this map, the bloons come in to a circular road, and do not exit. However, after a set amount of time, you begin to lose lives if you do not destroy the bloons. There is 13 waves in total.
Here is the video of my playthrough
With the 2x money perk, you do have some freedom on how to go about this. You do want to build a monkey village before wave 7, upgrade the right side and get the radar, and pair it with a super monkey, or you will have little chance of surviving. You can see in the video that I max out the super monkeys left skill tree and wipe the floor with it at the end.
If you are having trouble following how I go about my upgrades, feel free to watch this guide where I breakdown my preferred tower upgrades.
Thanks and good luck!
When doing this in the video, I did have double money, but you may be able to tweak this strategy to make it work without.
Timing of tower placements, upgrades and tower positioning don't need to be exact.
This Special Mission is tricky since nothing seems to have enough popping power to deal with all the bloons in time. My approach is distribute 8 0/3 Dart Monkeys equally on the clock. Before upgrading the second past 0/1 you should get a Mortar Tower and aim it at the entrance. Upgrade it to 1/2 as soon as possible. Once you've got 8 0/3 Dart Monkeys it's time to get a Heli Pilot and upgrade it to 2/4. Then use its ability as often as possible, every second ability use will give you about 70 additional lives! For the MOAB class bloons I've added 2/3 Bomb Towers inbetween the Dart Monkeys and when I had enough money just in case I added a second 2/4 Heli Pilot for twice the live income.
This is a demonstration of how to win this mission without any Monkey Lab upgrades:
