How to unlock the You Monster achievement in Defense Grid: The Awakening - Definitive Guide

Just do it like the guys in those youtube videos.

Somehow this achievement is bugged. If you get the gold medals in all story missions you will unlock the achievement "Best Friends Forever".
Maybe the descriptions are just swapped and you get this achievement for getting gold in all story challenge missions.

Edit: After getting gold in all story challenge missions the "Dead Potato"- Achievement popped up. Something is definitly messed up with these achievements.

Edit2: Hidden Path has released an update for the achievement bugs but there are still many users with problems.

Credit goes to Clockwork66, Kocorochan and hypercrate.

This achievement is no longer bugged. Just replay any mission in the You Monster campain and the achievement will pop up if you have gold on all missions.

Command Decision Story Challenge was not working for me with hypercrate's videos or one by Glassfarad that I found on Youtube. It seems my temporal towers were glitched and were speeding up the aliens before GlaDos actually mentions that, making it impossible to kill wave 4. I cleared the cache and then deleted and reinstalled the game and it was fixed; got gold on my first try after that. Thought I'd post in case the same thing is happening to others.

Armstrong you should make this a separate solution! After a lot of hair pulling, deleting the cache and dlc worked like a charm!

A lot of the videos are for PC and there's slight variations on the 360 version, there's also a lot of videos which are now unavailable.

Many of the PC options work fine with some slight modification in choices. Glassfarad on YouTube has some excellent 360 based videos for this DLC.

You can find them all on his channel, make sure to pay attention to the different versions for story and story challenge.

Here's his Level 5 video: https://youtu.be/LfObjCb_yno

Command Decision does not work. The guy is using the PC version which seems a lot easier. Wave 6 will not get killed by the Teslas to the extent he is getting it.

Im glad im not the only one stuck with Command Decision! All the others I managed to do no problem, but Command Decision just doesnt want to work!!

I have used some other videos on YouTube which are Xbox versions on story challenge and it still doesnt go anything like in the videos! Anyone got any ideas, or a video that does work for this level?!

If like me you keep getting the “Cannot Award Achievement...” error or it keeps freezing at the end of the level then I found a solution.

The best thing is to play the level normally right up until the last checkpoint (usually last couple waves), then before the level finishes you exit to the main menu. The game will save where you were, even if the message still pops up, So you can just resume the level where you left off and finish it. Most of the time this worked for me

Play thorugh the main campaign achieving gold medals on all eight levels. An excellent playlist of gold medals on all maps and modes can be found here. If you decide to try going alone, there are many different ways to complete each and every level in this game to a gold medal standard. Remember to always ensure that the aliens are taking the longest possible routes so you have more time to kill them. If you make a mistake, you can hit  to go to your last checkpoint; and hit it multiple times to go back further.
