Now They Begin to Understand

Now They Begin to Understand

Completed all 12 waves of Beast on all Fenix Rising maps.

How to unlock the Now They Begin to Understand achievement in Gears of War 3 - Definitive Guide

Start a Private Beast lobby - you can do this alone, or with friends which will make it easier - and simply complete waves 1 to 12 on the Fenix Rising DLC maps, which are:
Academy
Anvil
Depths
Escalation
The Slab

There is a counter in the Stats and Awards - Achievements tab which will tell you how many waves on each map you have completed.

It is also possible to get this in Public Beast matches but since there is no guarantee what maps will be selected for the vote, you may be trying a while before you've gotten all five.

Completed this one with the gf last night. Escalation was a tricky one when spawning at the bottom and blocked by lasers going uphill. Mauler blocking and smashing for a boomer worked well for us. If we got stuck on a wave with a bad spawn (bottom), we would pick tickers and let the time run out and hopefully get the top spawn next. Thumbs up!

Another thing, the counter in stats and awards tells you how many waves out of the 12 you have done, but doesn't it doesn't tell you which waves they are. For example you could have done waves 1,2,3, and 10 but it will say 4/12. Just to clear up any confusion.

Thanks for your comment Maliicious, but since you can't choose which wave you want to start on - even in a Private lobby - you may as well just use the Stat counter to see which maps you haven't done all 12 waves on, and pick those.

How the hell do you do this private by yourself? The spawns are bullshit. Cogs on one side of the map, you spawn on the other and have 1 min to kill everyone. You can not do this solo!

@TXG You can just keep repeating waves building up your cash till you have opened up the tougher Locusts but I wouldn't recommend doing it on your own. If you end up stuck on wave 12 (like I have) with way too many too kill, even with a Berseker or Armoured Kantus in the time limit, you're going to be really annoyed about the time you've wasted getting to that wave for nothing as you need to start from the beginning with help. :'(

@TXG It is very not impossible to complete these by yourself, specially on casual. I have don't all 12 waves in as little as 15 minutes by myself with a second controller idle. learn what locust to use on what wave and in what situation. it is not that hard

@ kbkM347W4D does having a second idle controller change anything? Cuz wave 12 is pretty much impossible solo (Berserkers are fucking useless on that wave)
