How to unlock the Playing the Field achievement in Hexic 2 - Definitive Guide
For battle, I played on easy difficulty and beat the CPU to get the achievement for beating a CPU on any difficulty.
I played survival on the hardest difficulty and just try to make the worst matches. You'll probably be done by level 6-7 (which is much faster than doing easy and playing until level 50)
For Marathon, just keep playing until the first bomb appears and let it explode. ( I did intermediate difficulty though not sure if it's faster than easy)
For Timed, start a game on intermediate and let the time run out.
After your 4th game is done, the achievement will pop.
All you have to do is complete a game in each game mode, these game modes are:
• Marathon Mode
• Survival Mode
• Battle Mode
• Timed Mode
The description says it all. You do not have to win at any of these in order to unlock the achievement. However, for the achievement Battle Tested, you have to win a game of Battle mode on any level, so it is best to play on beginner and just win. Some tips for “easy” plays are listed below, however just playing the game does do the trick.
1. Marathon Mode: Play until you get a bomb, usually in level 3 or 4, then just rotate a section of pieces that will not make a combo until the bomb explodes. You can also win the game by creating 3 Black Pears and making a combo out of them.
2. Survival Mode: There is no easy way to lose really, but make as few combo’s as possible to lock as many pieces as you can on each level. This will take some time to do.
3. Battle Mode: If you just want to lose, don’t do anything and let the computer build up his meter. He will attack you in the process with bombs, moving the line and locking your pieces. If you want to lose faster play on Expert and just get hammered on. Also recommend that you just play on beginner and win as there is an achievement for that as well.
4. Timed Mode: Make a combination at the top of the board and let the time expire. The timer is set at 55 seconds.
