How to unlock the Survivalist achievement in Hexic HD - Definitive Guide

This isn't very hard, but does take some patience as you have to play through 50 levels of Survival mode.

After each round in Survival mode, it "Locks" the pieces that you were unable to eliminate during that round. You are unable to manipulate those locked pieces directly and can only remove them by moving other pieces next to them.

My tip for this is to ALWAYS concentrate on getting rid of the locked pieces first. Letting the locked pieces build up is what will kill you. If you keep the locked pieces under control you will get this achievement pretty easily after lasting 50 rounds.

I got it on my first try, and I don't think I'm particularly good at this game

Thanks for the guide, it really helped. Basically my strategy was to put things in priorities (so if I couldn't find one, I would move on to the other): in order 6-piece Flowers/Star Flowers, Combos that break locked pieces, 3-star combos, Star/Regular/Regular combos, any combos.

I feel my above strategy works well because the 3-star combos ensure breathing space and a good clean section to work in. Good luck and remember to not get too stressed, this is a pretty simple achievement really.

Took a while, but got it first time.

Can you really die on this, surely it isn't possible? I'm terrible at this game, and it didn't take any effort or skill to get this achievement!

Probably important to note that you don't have to do all 50 in one go. There's a quick save option that allows you to come back to a game if you get too bored to finish in one sitting. ;>

Basically, the tiles do not replenish, and once you have made all possible moves the board locks and the next level begins, in which the board is filled again. The ones that remain are locked and can not be moved, but can still be used in a combination, or un-locked by geting a combo next to them. If the screen fills up with locked pieces and you have no moves, you lose. Your objective is to beat it.

This can be done in two ways:

Play through 50 levels:
Complete all 50 levels. Look for big combos;getting a star (surrounding a tile with tiles of the same colour) or linking three multiplier tiles of the same color together destroys tiles around them, so use this to your advantage. Obviously, geting the locked tiles out is essential, to prevent your board filling up. Remember, if you need a break and quit, it will save your progress.

Empty the board:
If you should use up every tile on the board, you win. Easy as pie. It is suggested that this is the easiest way to accomplish this achievment, because in the initial few levels the color variations are rather limited, and by linking together a few stars you can easily destroy all the tiles.

When I Played for this achievment I had to go to level 50 and complete the game. You win after you complete level 50 or clear all colors on the board. So do your best at limiting the amount of colors left when going to the next level. If you go for a star flower it clears all of the colors from the screen even locked ones. Star combos near locked peices also unlockes them. I hope these tips work. I got mine on the first try!!

This achievement took a few hours to complete of almost constant play, it is not difficult just time consuming.
The blocks do not fall and replace like in Marathon or Timed mode.
I would recommend just playing through the 50 levels as it is unlikely that you will be able to clear the entire board but if possible do so.
Whenever possible hit a flower combo to clear a lot of the board quicker.
Blocks "lock" themselves in place after each level if it was not possible for you to get them in the level before meaning they can not be moved although they can still be used in a combo and will not move until unlocked or destroyed.

Simple, time-consuming achievement.

If you keep playing eventually you will end up with a lot of locked pieces, that is actually good because you only need to be able to make one move to not fail, so the less moves you can make the better because you go to the next level once you have made all of your possible moves. So if you can only make three moves because of all of the locked pieces, than you will get to the next level in ten seconds.

Alright, So Survival You will need to complete 50 levels which is the easiest way, ORRRRRRRRR.. Clear The Whole Board! So yeah, good luck with trying to clear the board, survival takes an average 60 minutes to complete, also after each round the pieces you didn’t eliminate will lock on, which are when it’s impossible to eliminate the piece, once you’re on level 49 half of the board would be locked on, so uhh yeahh hope this helpslaugh

You can get this achievement by either clearing the board or playing and finishing level 50. Clearing the board is easiest on level one because of the small variety of colours. The best and easiest way to do it is by getting two star flowers (which will destroy most of that color) and being lucky enough to have the remaining colors work well and match up. Otherwise you are stuck with beating level 50 and that will test your patience. Just clear the pieces from the center and if possible the sides and listen to some music, combos work nice and they help make it a little faster. Don't forget you can always quit and come back to the game at a later time if you start to get annoyed or bored.
