How to unlock the Duck and Cover achievement in Glacier Blast - Definitive Guide

Best way to try this is with a second account (second PC or boosting partner).

First start a feud game until you get three healer tiles (the one with a plus sign).

Now, whenever a round begins, the partner account should match the healer tile (unlocking it) and, immediately, you have to match it. I say immediately because there are 2 AI players who can match it before you.

Do this three times, each healer tile should give you a protected life, and providing neither AI remove the protection of the tiles, you will get the achievement either at the start of the next round (Thanks TSG Dwaggie for the info) or at the exact time you get the third healer tile (Thanks jkmyoung).

Yes, but I have only one W8 device and no boosting partner. So this is my method to not be annoyed by IA.

It is surely a good way to do it.

I actually lucked out getting this single player when I was trying for Went Better Than Expected
Glacier Blast (Windows)Went Better Than ExpectedThe Went Better Than Expected achievement in Glacier Blast (Windows) worth 34 pointsBreak a Mystery Power Tile and gain a Large Bonus Power Tile

Somehow got 2 from 2 ?'s and then it was easy to get a 3rd. Achievement popped as soon as I got the third, not at the end of the round.

Just as an addition you might wish to add.

If playing with four players, you must have three 'protected' tiles at the START of your turn. When you take your turn, whilst you have three protected tiles, the achievement will pop.

This achievement will not pop the moment you get the third protected tile.

This can also be done on the same PC/tablet with 3 dummy accounts.

It takes some time to create feud games and to handle invites with the other accounts, until you find a game with 3 healers (took me 8-10 games).

But as soon as you find the good game, it can be done in 3 rounds, with no risk that the IA take one healer or destroy one of your protected tiles.

Sure it can, although you will need to be switching accounts a lot.

Quite easy to do even with AI. Just wait to see if they break the ice over it. If they don't then simply do it yourself and you should have plenty of time to put your breaker over it in the next round. Achievement popped for me after a AI played their move in the round after getting the 3rd ice covered tile.

I did this on quick feud with 2 random players and 1 AI.

1. What I did was wait to be the last to play and break the ice cube with the + sign. If someone has broken the cube 1st, get it as fast as possible.

2. If you broke the cube last make sure your the first to get that cube. Then just repeat from step 1.

So if you break the cube last, make sure you get it 1st.
If someone broke the cube 1st be then next to get it.

Only took a few games to pop and I just made sure that there was 5 + cubes in case of errors that might happen.

Worked for me. I think mystery tiles can be useful, too.

This achievement requires that you encase three of your colored tiles in ice simultaneously. To protect your colored tiles with ice, you must destroy a Healer Power Tile (looks like a medical cross). When you do this, one of your colored tiles will get glazed over with ice, protecting it from a single enemy attack. This achievement is much easier if boosted with another player in Feud mode, but is possible offline against the AI as well.

Load up the match. Look at the board to first make sure it has at least three Healer Power Tiles. If it doesn't, you might as well restart as you cannot get this achievement in that game. Once you have a game with three tiles, have your boosting partner destroy the ice casing on the first Healer Power Tile. Then immediately play your turn to destroy the tile. Repeat this step two more times. You also need to be cautious that the other players are not destroying the ice as you are forming it. You must have three ice coatings on your colored tiles active AT THE SAME TIME at the BEGINNING OF A ROUND.
