How to unlock the Human Superiority achievement in Hexic 2 - Definitive Guide
One helpful tip is to save green power (the one where you steal some space from your enemy). Then, once you use it, explode as fast as you can every special piece it has. This way, you can steal lots of points that can give you the victory.
Just try to be as faster as possible, if you keep making combos and launching attacks to your enemy, you should achieve this after a few tries, not that hard after all...
There are three things you really need to bear in mind whilst attempting this;
1) Combos, combos and A LOT MORE COMBOS as fast as you possibly can (even before the gap from the last combo has been refilled).
2) Keep activating your powers (I honestly just kept spamming "Y" the whole time). The whole "save the green" method to explode the other players pieces never worked for me as the pieces wouldn't give me enough points in time. So I'd recommend using your green power whenever the opportunity arises.
3) Now this is the KEY to succession... DEFUSE EVERY BOMB! If you let more than one bomb detonate then there is little to no chance of you getting the win because of the amount of points the AI will gain. However, if three or so bombs detonate on the AI then there is a good chance you will win as long as you keep the combos coming whilst waiting for the bomb to come back your way. The game I beat the AI on I had detonated probably 4 bombs in a row on them, after getting one detonated on me, but still giving me a 3 bar lead!
Now this achievement may well take you 100+ attempts (like me and a few others) but if you keep at it then it should be yours in no time.
Hope this helps.
There is no easy way around this one. One of the more difficult achievements on the list, as the Expert computer moves quickly and rarely makes a move that doesn’t result in a combo. Some tips to win are listed below.
1. Pause the game and try to study what you can see on the screen. Do this so you can try and map out your moves before you just go in blindly trying to create. You won’t get the greatest view because the pause menu blocks most of your view, but if you pause-resume and repeat somewhat in succession, you will be able to see. Sounds crazy, but it does help.
2. Create Starflowers and Emeralds as often as you can. These give you more then just normal combinations, and can be used if you get into a situation where the computer has locked part of your board.
3. Although I don’t recommend blowing up all of your emeralds and Starflowers, create chains to blow up, this will give you more boost on your meter as well. DO NOT Blow all of them, as you may not be able to create one when you need it to remove the locks on your board.
4. Use your attacks wisely. I DO NOT recommend using bombs as the computer will defuse them quickly, which will result in the bomb moving over to your board. Use the collapse only when you really need it. The best attacks are moving the board to create more space for you and less for the computer, and locking the computers pieces. The more of those two attacks you use, the more likely you are to win.
5. Practice, Practice, Practice. Unless you are a master Hexic player, it is unlikely that you will get this achievement on the first run through. Start at the lowest level and work your way up.
This is the hardest achievement in this game, it requires lots of luck and skill as the Expert computer rarely ever makes a move that doesn't result in a combo. Some tips on this difficulty are:
1. You are able to pause the game which can help you study the screen to find crazy combos you can create, although the pause menu screen may be in the way, it is a very useful method. You can even unpause and pause to take a quick look.
2. Create as many starflowers and emeralds as these are better than normal combinations and are able to be used in a situation where the Expert computer has locked a part of your board.
3. If you are behind a lot, you are able to create chains that give more than normal combos and they boost up your meter, although do not use all of your starflowers and emeralds as these are essential when a part of your board is locked up
4. Use attacks smartly, do not use bombs as the Expert computer will defuse them quite quickly and which will result in the bomb moving over to your board. Use the collapse only when you really need it. The best attacks are moving the board to create more space for you and less for the Expert computer and locking the Expert computer's pieces. The more of those two attacks you use, the more likely you are to win the game
5. Don't give up and keep trying as it is tough and unless you are a master at Hexic, you will not do it first try, it will take you a lot of tries, but as you try and try you will get better and better until you can overcome the Expert computer.
