How to unlock the Festival Masters achievement in Earthlock: Festival of Magic - Definitive Guide
To obtain a gold medal you must group all enemies together on each round and fight them all in 1 big battle. Whenever possible wait for the enemies to walk close to each other before engaging them and be careful when you have to pull one group to another as it's easy for some enemies to fall behind and mess your whole run up. Slowly zigzagging is a good way to keep agro as it seems enemies can block each other's line of sight if you run straight.
The Zabel tournament is easily done when you first have to do it however the Suvia tournament is much harder and will require close to a level 20 team.
There currently appears to be a bug that counts a single fight as multiple fights, it seems to be random when it occurs but quitting out of the game may fix it temporarily. On the plus side it seems that the final round doesn't count as a battle, I've managed to earn gold with 4 wins.
First part as guide D4rkTrooper90 (group up all enemies each round to kill them in one go)
Setup party
Level close tot 20
Use the Perk: ' and back again' on your party of 4 (you will unlock the perk "And back again" after defeating the train-like boss on your way to Nadir)
Use PAT with his explosive skill (you will get the explosive skill after defeating one of the story bosses) I don t know which one for sure)
Paired PAT up with Amon, as one of their bonds is 'Big bang (Increases exploding attacks by 20%)' You dont need it i think.
After grouping and in the battle use the explosive skill. Everybody goes down including your team. Because you have the Perk ' and back again' your team revives and you win the round. Do this for all 5 rounds to win the gold. I did it in 5 min. very easy.
This trophy is for completing all Tournaments with Gold Ranking. There are only two Tournaments in the game, however, you cannot enter them until you progressed further in the storyline. Once PAT joins the party which is the trophy for unlocking Ancient Sentient Support , all Tournaments will be opened. The first Tournament is in Zaber and the second Tournament is in Suvia. Zaber obviously needs to be completed first before you can do the one in Suvia. This means you need to get Gold Ranking in Zaber and finally earn the Gold Ranking in Suvia which would, in turn, unlock the trophy.
Tournaments come with rules though since you need to complete them in the fewest amount of battles possible. There are 5 rounds that you must complete in order to get the Gold Ranking. If you go over the 5 rounds, you'll lose the Gold Ranking and will fall into the Silver Ranking. To avoid this, you need to gather the enemies in the Tournament arena around you then proceed to fight them all at once. Once you've defeated all enemies in a round, interact with the center to go into the next round. Repeat the gathering of all enemies again until you complete all 5 rounds like this.
Zaber's Tournament should be the easiest one for you to do, but it's recommended that your levels 14-16 at least. Suvia can be tricky as an enemy might not be in the battle once you won, making you waste a round. Sadly, there's no way to leave these Tournaments once they're started as the only way out is to win. While you're doing these, it's recommended that you farm some levels and max out all Bonds between characters.
Below are some tips on how getting Gold Ranking:
- Gather large groups of enemies at once for one huge battle against them all. Be sure to press in order to gain the First Strike in combat. This enables your party the first turn in the battle queue regardless of character's Speed Stats.
- Save your Special Bond abilities for the later rounds or the larger group of enemies.
- Use these Tournaments to fully level up all Bonds between all characters and get XP while doing it.
The tournaments in the game are available shortly after unlocking the "Sentient Support" achievement, as part of the story. There are only two of them, one in Zaber and one in Suvia. You will need to complete the one in Zaber first, as this rewards you with a token that allows you to participate in Suvia. To get a Gold ranking you will need to complete the tournament in the fewest amount of battles possible. There are five rounds to get through, and a Gold requires that you only fight five battles. So you'll need to round up every enemy that spawns and take them on at once.
The Zaber tournament is no problem. I was Level 14 at this time and got Gold on my first attempt. Suvia is another matter entirely. I'm not sure why, but the enemies in the second half of the game are much tougher than the first half. You can complete the tournament with any ranking to move the story (don't group the enemies all together), then simply return later when you've leveled up a bit to try again for Gold.
Make sure your super abilities are charged and you switch stances between battles depending on what types of enemies you're facing. Once you get Gnart's whirlwind super ability, you can wipe out the first wave in one shot and it should be charged back up by the fourth wave to do the same to them.
