How to unlock the Full Medal Alchemist achievement in Gems of War - Definitive Guide

You get a medal after collecting 3 badges from 9 tokens (3 for each badge) of the same type and you can earn tokens from the boss chest after a mythic boss fight. All 3 badges get combined to a medal automically, even if one of the badges is in one of the slots, which suprised me a bit. Now you can use the medal to upgrade any already maxed out troop. This means your troop need Level 20, all traits and the highest ascension level.

Using a medal for a troop gives you a chance to upgrade it and you find this option + chances in the upgrade section under troops. The first medal you award to a troop is bronze and this will unlock your achievement. Attention: The rarity of the chosen troop will affect the success rate. If you just want to unlock the achievement as quickly as possible choose a more common troop and even the regular medals gives you a 100% upgrade chance. IF YOU FAIL THE UPGRADE YOU WON'T UNLOCK THE ACHIEVEMENT! - and you have to collect another medal for another chance.

To use a medal the most effictive way: Use a medal with a troop of the same rareness. I as example got an ultra-rare medal and used it to level up my ultra-rare Sunbird. Keep in mind you also need 10k souls ready to pay the upgrade costs.

The achievement description just says you have to award a medal to a troop. Are you saying that's incorrect, and you rather have to award a medal and have it successfully upgrade the troop?

The description is not incorrect, maybe a bit unclear. With the first medal they could mean the bronze medal, the first medal out of the three and maybe only a successful upgrade counts as awarding. I think it's not worth to risk a failed upgrade, especially because each medal have a 100% chance depending on the troop you choose.

Very sorry to hear this, i hope you recollect another medal without much trouble soon. I updated my guide to point this out even more. I know it don't give back your medal, but maybe your confirmation here helps people in the future to not make the same mistake. Don't be sad, okay? redface

Jesus on a Jalapeno... they could have been more descript with this achievement, came here to wonder why it didn't pop, and upgrade doesn't appear anywhere in the description, even though I awarded one. God I hate these people, now I have to grind even more.

Kudos to those of you who read before doing things, wish I was with you on this one. :-x

This may be bugged at the moment. I just unlocked this by equipping medal of seasons in an empty global spot and backing out the to main screen. Have not given any medals to troops yet.

The medal must be placed on an upgraded mythical army. Costs 10k souls.

Please note that a medal does not guarantee that it will “take root” with the army. As in the underworld, one medal gives a certain percentage of the guarantee, plus it also depends on the army. On some army, one medal can give a 100% guarantee that the army will receive a medal, while another army may have 1.5% of receiving it (with such a percentage, accordingly, you need a lot of luck - otherwise you will simply lose the medal and 10k souls)
