How to unlock the Teacher's Pet achievement in Evolve - Definitive Guide
This achievement is earned by completing the Monsters tutorial in under 6 Minutes which will earn you a Gold Medal. The monster tutorial is the first thing you will be doing when you load up the game as it forces you to go through all the Goliath's mechanics. If you fail this, don't worry! Complete the hunters tutorial then;
- go to the main menu
- choose 'Solo'
- choose replay tutorial option at the bottom of selection menu.
Now you may very well not get this the first time if you didn't play the open beta, but if you did then I hope you remember it! Your objective is to reach the end in under 6 minutes and kill the hunters.
Your first task will be to simply run and climb so hold down in to run and to climb.
After you climb your first wall you'll have to jump using . If you haven't played the alpha or beta then when jumping you have to make sure you aim the reticle to the point that you want to jump to. Aiming it to low will result in a bad jump but aiming it to high will result in a faulty jump and will be a waste.
The next part you need to click in to use your smell ability, from there quickly kill the 3 creatures that are outlined in yellow and feast on all of them after they're all dead using .
Next walk into the next part and sneak using . You will have to use the smell ability here and want to get up behind a creature and use to pounce on the creature when it has a red circle under it stealth killing it. When it's dead I've found that trying to move gets you out of the animation quicker.
After you have to evolve! So follow the way point and use your slam and your fire breath to kill the creatures! (You only need 2!)
Next you'll want to slam off the cliff into the creatures below so quickly do this then run towards the bridge where you will get trapped in harpoons. Simply throw a punch to break the connection.
Next the soldiers you'll face require you to use your fire breath to damage them. You just need to use it once and then you can quickly kill them anyway you see fit.
Now keep going and you'll have to do that same as above but with the rock throw .
Now just like above you'll want to use the charge .
After all are dead turn around and you'll have to face a bigger creature and kill it. Use the fire breath followed up by a charge to kill it quickly then feast on it Untill the buff notification comes up.
Now run up onto the rock and face the hunters!
GO FOR VAL FIRST! Killing the medic is key to winning this fight quick as she can revive downed teammates with her gun so kill her then hank as he shields the team then makarov the heavy damage dealer then Maggie as her dome is really useful to prevent them escaping.
I hope this helped, if you would like a video guide then let me know and I'll upload one ASAP! :)
I replayed the tutorial and record the game footage in case anyone wants to see it.
You need to beat the tutorial in under six minutes, this may take several tries. On your first playthrough don’t wouldn't worry about hitting the gold time, just learn the controls and mechanics.
Here is a video thanks to PowerPyx which could help.
To earn a gold medal you must beat the Monster Tutorial in 6 minutes. You don’t have much time for this one so you will need to be near perfect to get this done in under 6 minutes.
General tips:
- When you evolve for the first time put 2 points in Leap Smash and 1 point in charge, as these are the most powerful moves.
- When going to climb up walls you should aim up high with the reticle and jump instead (this should turn the red bar yellow and you will climb faster). Also remember to save your jump as you only have 3 before you have to recharge so keep it for these vertical areas.
- When going for the animals you have to kill to evolve its easiest to Leap Smash them from the above cliff, also you only need to kill/eat 2 of these to fill the blue evolution bar.
- For the stealth section we found it easiest to go around the left side of the area as they are more spread out and less likely to spot you.
- When taking on the soldiers near the end that, make sure to do the required move on them first or more will spawn wasting time.
- When taking out the Hunters kill Hank, the Support, first as his ability can shield the other Hunters and reduce the damage you do, which will make things longer for you. Once Hank is down take out whoever is near them and if possible take out Val, the Medic next as she can heal the other. After that it should be easy to take the remaining two Hunters out.
- If you want to play it safe you can also attack Hank's body on the ground to make him die much quicker.
- We found quickest way to kill the Hunters using a Charge, then Leap Smash, then Rock Throw combo as it should take most of their health out.
Once you beat the tutorial in under 6 minutes the trophy should pop at the end
Note: There is a 30 second cutscene towards the end of the tutorial which introduces the Hunters that counts towards the timer and can’t be skipped.
Here is a video by PowerPyx showing how to beat the tutorial in under 6 minutes:
Great video to help.

The trophy is really difficult, so a couple of tips on tactics:
1. You have endless lives, so you don’t have to worry about them or your armor.
2. In the final battle, kill Val first, as she heals allies, then immediately Hank, as he puts up shields. The rest is how it will turn out.
