How to unlock the Tournament to Kill achievement in Deadliest Warrior - Definitive Guide

This one can be difficult for two reasons.

Reason #1 - Almost all people playing this game online are grade A jerks. Let me explain. When you play Tournament mode, you start of in First Round. If you win, your next game under Tournament mode will be Semi-Finals, and you will only be matched with people who also have just won a First Round game. Win the Semi-Finals, and your next game will be Finals with someone else who has also won a Semi-Finals round. Win 10 Finals to unlock this achievement. If you loose any game you will start off on a First Round match again. Sounds difficult right? Well it gets harder. This is because the dumb creators of this otherwise fun game mislooked one small but important concept of online gameplay. Fareness. It just so happens that when you leave a game before it ends, even if your losing, it does not count as a loss for you, nor does it count as a win for the other player. See the problem here? Most people just decide to leave before they lose, so they can keep their place in the tournament without having to restart to First Round. But when they do this, it does not count as a win for you, and you don't proceed. All i can say to help you is to please don't behave like this. Be greater than everyone else... be a man. There's truth to this saying: what comes around, goes around.

Reason #2 - 70%-90% of the time, people will use the Ninja. In my opinion he's way too overpowered. It thus becomes important to find a decent technique to fighting these Ninja lovers. I can usually win with the Centurion, but hey, that's just me. Another important phrase to remember here: fight fire with fire. Also works well for me.

Good luck with this one.

It does not matter how many rounds you set your match up for. If you decide to create a game, it's up to you to choose how many rounds you'd like to play. For example, you create a game and set the rounds to 3. This only means you have to win two of the three rounds, or two of three kills, to win the actual match with the person your playing with. If you win, you'll then be returned to the main menu and must find or create a new game to advance to Semi-Finals, and then Finals. Just keep an eye on the game info to the left when joining a game. It will tell you what the host has set for the rounds and for the game time. You don't want to go rushing in thinking there are 3 rounds when there's actually only 1, as some like to play.

Does this answer your question?

In addition to the quitting, one hit kills can derail your tourney very quickly. As a spear thrower one can be pressing B before the match starts and rattle off a few quick wins.

thanks for the tips bro, but seems no one is playing this. I can't get anyone to join my final tourney matches...

People are just probably playing all the new arcade games right now, like Monday Night Combat and that boat racing game. Just give it some time... Hopefully people aren't done with the game already.

Quiting does work anymore but the dashboard thing does.

FYI for everyone on rage-quitting.

If your in a Finals match and lose, you don't have to rage-quit to stay in the finals match if your that type of player. Wait until the screen appears where you would push "A" to continue, instead of pressing "A" back out to the dashboard. It still gives the win to the guy who won but you can go back to a finals match instead of having to win a couple of fights to get back to a Finals Match. It doesn't solve someone quitting on you but it does help that you don't have to do the same to someone else to stay in the finals match.

That's true, but it's not going to stop all the inconsiderate players from just backing out. Why go to the dashboard and take all that time when you can just return to the menu?

Say you win in a Finals match but the person leaves so you don't get the win. You have to refight that Finals match again to get a another win for it to count. Now when your refighting that Finals Match and say you end up losing the match, instead of rage-quitting so you can get directly back into the final round again, let the screen that tells you your battle rating and "press A to continue" appear so the player who beat you will get the win. Now, INSTEAD of pressing "A", back out to the dashboard from that screen and reload the your game. It does take a little bit of time but it's better than quitting on someone else because someone quit on you. If more people know about this method maybe they will start using this method to quit and there won't be so many people rage quitting.

im not contradicting but i had a couple of rage quitters and i found if they back out it counts as a loss because you can press start in fight and leave. This will bring a pop up and counts as a forfeight. I have had a few people rage quit on me and it still counts as a loss. What i find is the biggest problem is that noone plays tournement mode NO ONE PLAYS THE DAMNED THING D: i sit there for hours with noone wanting to play tournement mode :'( why does noone play this dark horse of a game :(

@TryDodgingThis

I believe they fixed this issue with an update... making my guide not so accurate anymore. But believe me, when this game first came out, this was a HUGE issue. This achievement was worth its weight in gold back then.

i still need help with this if anyone is still interested, i know another person with the game and i was thinking if we could set up a boosting session using B00ME's idea about going back to the Dash to avoid the loss but giving the other person the win, a couple of hours work and we could have a few people with 10 tourney wins.
if anyone is interested in this idea then contact me through XBOX. i would love to solve this issue, not just for myself, but for the people who also suffer with rage quitters.

Credit for this solution does to Large Coffee.

A team of 5 boosters will work the best.
First rank somebody to the top 3rd round and the 2nd round there only job is to host matches and letting the other boosters win.

Using the dashboard trick after a loss will keep them at the same level in the round. (After a loss instead of pushing "A" to continue you exit to the dashboard and when you reload the game you stay at the same level)

So 1 person host matches in each of the 3 rounds, the 2nd and 3rd level hosts use the trick ( first round using the dashboard trick is pointless)

The other 2 go up the ladder getting wins and then rotate with the hosts after they receive the acheivment.

Only 4 people will cause a lot of waiting in the lobby's for the hosts and more than 2 going for the acheivment will cause a lot of waiting for reloading

How long does this take? I'm very interested in setting up a session sometime this week and want to make sure I provide enough time for everyone to unlock the achievement.

It took 5 of us about 2.5 hours to get it with one of us having a slow connection

Maybe this will make more sense once my boosters and I dive into this. I'm assuming a tournament can start with an odd number? I'm trying to map out the brackets on some paper, but it's just not clicking with me.

That does help some more - thank you. I'll just have to get a visualization as well when the others boosters and I start this. And, I'm sure you already answered this, so forgive me for being redundant, but what's your best approach for this? If you had a team of 8 together, could two boosters technically go for the achievement? Also, once one booster wins the tournament, should they go ahead and win the next 9 or would you continuously swap out winners? I'm thinking it's best just to have one person win 10 tournaments and then cycle to the next booster in line.

(Hope all of that made sense)

everyone starts on 1st tier. 1 win moves you to 2nd tier win again for 3rd tier. so pair up 2 sets of 2 boosters. 1 in each set wins to move to 2nd tier then the two winners fight. the winner hosts the 3rd tier and the looser hosts the 2nd tier. then the other 3 players 1 hosts the 1st tier matches while the others move up the tiers for the acheivement. hope this helps

A team of any number will work you're just going to have a bunch of people waiting around while the hosts reload the game. To make it less confusing I'd recommend having people run through until they get the achievement. That way people aren't constantly changing the hosts also once someone gets their achievement then they take over hosting one of the tiers

Just to add, if you are doing this with more than 4 people, you should have the additional people continuously hosting the "Final" round. You will not have to have anyone wait if you have 2 or more people hosting the "Final" tier.

You need to win three tournament fights in a row to count as winning a tournament. This may take a while, as you can become a victim of circumstance and take the occasional spear to the face.

Although I don't like to encourage it, you can leave games before it ends to prevent a loss. If you do this, when the match ends go to the dashboard, your opponent will keep their deserved win, and you will keep your place in the tournament, everyone wins! (Thanks to iNf3Rn0 Lan for this tip).
