How to unlock the Mythical Creature achievement in Gems of War - Definitive Guide
White > Green >Blue >Purple >Orange > Light Blue.
or:
Common > Rare > Ultra Rare > Epic > Legendary > Mythic
The first rarity upgrade costs 5 duplicates. The second rarity upgrade costs 10 duplicates. The third is 25 duplicates. The fourth is 50 duplicates. The final upgrade is 100 duplicates.
So to upgrade a troop that is normally a Legendary to Mythic will take 5 duplicates of that Legendary. If you want to upgrade a troop that is normally an Epic it will take 5 duplicate troops to upgrade it to Legendary and then 10 more duplicate troops to upgrade it from Legendary to Mythic. If you wish to upgrade a troop that is normally an Ultra Rare it will take 5 duplicate troops to upgrade it to Epic, then 10 duplicates to upgrade it to Legendary, and finally 25 more duplicates to upgrade it to Mythic.
One thing that you can do if you have a lot of glory saved up is to go into the story and purchase the Bone Dragon package for 500 Glory. This will give you 1 Bone Dragon, 2 Event keys, as well as some gold, souls, and and trait stones. You can then use the 2 event keys that you just got to open a couple of Event Chests. These chests have a chance to grant you another copy of the Bone Dragon. After you have done that you can purchase another Bone Dragon package for another 500 glory. Then use the keys to open a couple of more event chests. Keep repeating this until you have gotten a total of 6 Bone Dragons. Once you have all 6 Bone Dragons, go to the troop tab, select the Bone Dragon, hit the to enter the crafiting menu. One in the Crafting menu hit the and go to the Ascenion Tab. With the change the number of Sacrifices to 5 and select Sacrifice and your Bone Dragon will change from Legendary to Mythic and your achievement will pop.
One thing to note, the event will change in a few days and the Bone Dragon will no longer be available for purchase. It will be replaced with another Troop that may or may not be a Legendary. If it is another Legendary then you can do the same thing just using whatever the new troop is that has been released.
The other way to do this is just keep purchasing chests with either gold, glory, or gems. Keep building up the duplicate troops and sacrifice them as you get them. Eventually one of your troops will make it up to Mythic and the achievement will pop.
I hope this guide helped. If you have any questions, or any suggestions to improve this suggestion please do not hesitate to leave me a comment or to send me a PM and I will be happy to help.
edit:
Rufus Gufus brought up another good point. For those who don't mind spending real money there is a deal in the shop, under bundles, that will give you 16 copies of an epic troop. Which is how many you would need to level that troop to Mythic rarity. It has the added bonus of giving you enough trait stones to unlock all 3 of its traits. As well as giving you a bunch of points to help raise your VIP level. This is by no means necessary as you can get a troop Mythic without spending any real money, but it is an option, so I thought I would add it for anyone who might be interested.
This method is dependent on playing either Dungeons or being in a Guild long enough to have obtained Orbs as guild rewards.
On the Troop Upgrade tab, tab over to "Orbs" tab; some orbs will instantly allow you to upgrade Epic or Legendary troops to Mythic.
In my case, an "Orb of Ascension" allowed me to level up one rarity, and bring my Legendary straight to Mythic, without any need to ascend in the regular fashion!
Side note - I was then able to unlock Level 20 for 1,000 souls, unlocking immediately.
Hope this helps someone, let me know any questions!
Upon opening it randomly becomes one of the 6 orbs you see on the 2nd tab of a character. You can also craft these in the Soulforge.
I packed a mythic on my second day playing (lucky I know) and merely ascended a common to rare and the achievement popped. If you're lucky enough to be in the same boat then this achievement will be a piece of cake
I am now farming souls towards Xathenos and ascended a Banshee from rare to ultra rare to farm souls slightly faster and BING, achievement unlocked.
As you may know, each week the "glory rewards" change so perhaps it is a bad week and you are only be able to purchase some packs with common or rare or ultra-rare cards.
This week from March 27th --> April 2 there is a glory pack that costs 350 glory with a Legendary class card: "The Silvermaiden"
So, basically you have to buy 11 packs to be able to craft and ascend the Legendary to Mythic (means the base card plus extra 10). So the count it will be 350x11 = 3850 glory
I was able to gain that amount of glory in three days with the following method, which has one great condition that perhaps will annoy or avoid to do: you will not care of your current guild, you will have to leave it and have to join and leave others multiple times. So, if you are confident with your current guild, leave them a message that you will come back later since you have to do this, and perhaps they will understand and invite you back when you are done.
So here is the quest for glory, and what you will need to gain glory? Gold.
First step:
- You will leave your current guild at the beginning of the week or asap. Search for a guild with just 1 or 2 members. There are plenty of them since they are new, or went abandoned for good since long time ago. Go to the guild task and you will see in the upper left the glory task, that will gain you 80 glory for 5000 gold. Since there is a bug in the game, it is pretty possible that if you go for all the 5000 or just the "complete" option, you won't end with the mail that you gained the 80 glory on the messages icon (it happened to me many times). So the idea is to put some money, like 1000 gold. Leave the guild menu. Do something else (like a PvP) and then complete. The chances that the option working will be higher than just going for the 5000 in a single step.
Second step:
- Since you gained already the 80 glory, you will have now the task for 120 glory with 10.000 gold. So go for it, using the same method as in first step, avoiding completion in a single contribution. This way you will have 200 glory just for joining a new guild and contributing with 15.000 gold.
Third step:
- you can rise and repeat the first and second step but, you will probably will eat your funds, so the solution is to go for PvP since at level 7 you will be gaining extra glory and also moving up ranks will benefit with you with more gold, that will be used for doing again steps one and two above. Benefits from PvP ranks:
Rank 15: 1 gold
Rank 14: 10 gold, 4 souls
Rank 13: 50 gold, 8 souls
Rank 12: 100 gold, 12 souls
Rank 11: 200 gold, 16 souls
Rank 10: 300 gold, 20 souls
Rank 09: 400 gold, 25 souls
Rank 08: 500 gold, 30 souls
Rank 07: 600 gold, 35 souls, 5 glories
Rank 06: 700 gold, 40 souls, 10 glories
Rank 05: 800 gold, 50 souls, 20 glories
Rank 04: 900 gold, 60 souls, 30 glories
Rank 03: 1000 gold, 80 souls, 40 glories
Rank 02: 1500 gold, 150 souls, 50 glories, 5 glory keys
Rank 01: 2000 gold, 300 souls, 100 glories, 10 glory keys
That means for going for rank 1 in PvP you will gain 255 glory and 9051 gold plus, the armor bonus you have as gear. And also when ranking up you will gain chest keys that will discover sometimes extra gold and glory, so everything will be feeding up what you need. Gold, and glory. You will be able to get that 3850 glory in almost no time
Using this method I was able to ascend "The Silvermaiden" card from Legendary to Mythic in three days, and also leveled up to 16 using gems won in the process.
The only downside I see on the method is the guild leave, search and join thing, if you are comfortable in one perhaps you will want to avoid doing that.
Final Note: Save glory, do not spend it on crappy packs. If you are unlucky the week you are trying to do this and there is no Legendary class card in the pack. Save it for later. At some point in the game it will be one, and you will be already ready with those 3850 precious glory.
To ascend a troop, you will need to have duplicate versions of it to sacrifice and power up your main card. You can read this FAQ on the process. You can also earn this achievement if you are lucky enough to find a Mythic troop in a chest. This is very rare though.
For the ascension method, for every five copies of a card you sacrifice (of the same rarity), your card will ascend. The next ascension will cost five more cards than the last. So if you're starting from a common card, you'll need a total of 190 copies. If you're starting from Ultra-Rare you'll need 40 copies, etc. It all depends on the "base" rarity of the card. If you're starting from Legendary, you'll simply need five extra Legendaries, but obviously that is easier said than done with how rare these cards are. The progression goes common (white), rare (green), ultra-rare (blue), epic (purple), legendary (orange), and mythic (teal).
The best way to do this is to wait until a weekly event has a high-level card to purchase (usually epic). These will cost Glory and may even give you event keys to possibly win another copy of the card. Save up your Glory (epic troops usually cost 350 each, so you'd need 5250 glory) and then splurge on these to get an easy path to a Mythic troop.
You'll need to be able to access the Underworld so you can go on some Delves and gather chaos shards to open Portals and get treasures, specifically the Sacred Treasure (the mythic coloured one) worth +500XP. I received one of these after spending 200 shards in the Fire Rift Portal and the trophy unlocked for me.

Mythical creatures are a new tier of cards, that cannot be gotten through any other means but ascending lower tier cards to higher tiers. Ascending is a new feature that lets you sacrifice multiples of the same card to get a card with better values. The higher tiered a creature is, the less cards you need to upgrade but these cards are much rarer. Low tier cards are quite common, but need a lot of copies.
Two examples:
- To upgrade a Legendary to Mythical you need 5 of the same Legendary plus the base card, that's a total of 6 cards.
- To upgrade a Common to Mythical, you will need the base card plus 5 to get a Rare, 10 more of the same to get an Ultra Rare, more 25 to get an Epic, 50 more for a Legendary and another 100 to finally get a Mythic. That's a total of 191 cards!
The good news is that any new card you get from a chest or as a reward will not only have the same level as the card(s) in your possession but will also be the same rarity. If your Goblin is Legendary then any new one you get will also be Legendary, thus you only need to ascend a creature once.
This will take some time. You might want to check the store to buy creature packs with glory or real money or try gambling with gems. Like the Treasure trophy, this one is luck based.
Below is an example of a Legendary ready to be ascended to Mythical:
White > Green > Blue > Purple > Orange > Light Blue.
Or according to the list:
Common > Rare > Ultra Rare > Epic > Legendary > Mythic (mythic, which is needed for the achievement)
The first card upgrade costs 5 duplicates, the second 10, the third 25, the fourth 50 and the last 100 duplicates.
The easiest way: spend money on a set that immediately contains 16 Epic character cards. The price is steep, but you don’t have to waste a lot of time.
Long fast way:
earn fame points
-- by playing PVP (you start at rank 15 and you need to get to the first. The first rank gives you 16 glory times a day). Also often, winning in pvp gives you 3 glory;
--income from the presence of kingdoms that give glory points (you need to look at the Tribute column for a kingdom and upgrade this kingdom by improving squad cards that belong to this kingdom);
--earn from completing tasks from 4 proposed (for example, the task of using 4 treasure hunter cards gives 100 glory), but in order for the list of tasks to be updated more often, you need to complete one of the proposed options;
--also glory points drop from the treasure hunt mini-game.
The Chest Store updates the Glory Chest once a week. They sell Epic and Ultra-Rare level characters there.
Accordingly, in order to level up an Epic character, you need to buy 16 such chests - 1 chest for the character and 15 of its duplicates for leveling up in Mythic. As a rule, the price there is 400 glory and, accordingly, you need to accumulate 6400 glory in order to immediately take armfuls of chests and level up this character.
An Ultra-Rare character costs 300 glory, but to level up in Mythic you need 40 chests*300 glory=12000 glory. It's easier to save up 6400 and wait for an Epic level character to sell.
- Recruit a lot of copies of one simple army and elevate it to myth
- Receive an Exaltation sphere in guild events or Profit - and use it on the Legendary army.
- Accumulate more Glory (in two weeks) - and go to the Store in Glory Rewards. We buy there for 400 Glory of the Army. Then we buy it as many more times as necessary to ascend to Myth. Purchases must be completed within 1 week, the next week the Glory Reward will change. This is the easiest way.
- Craft in the Forge of Souls. The most difficult way, since Diamonds are obtained very hard and slowly... 4000 diamonds are no joke!
For money :
- One myth can be bought for money instantly in the “Offers” tab. But only one.
- In the same “Offers” there is an opportunity for the same money to buy one myth per month (it is given only at the end of the subscription month), plus a bunch of master stones. It costs the same, but they really give you a lot of master stones, so if you decide to buy money, this is a better offer. Then you can repeat... if you really want to improve your VIP level (and with it the increase in gold/experience/souls also increases)
