How to unlock the Staying Power achievement in Just Cause 3 - Definitive Guide

First do the Boat Invaders challenge and try to get 5 gears on in order to fully upgrade the eDEN Spark.

As for the challenge, here are the scores:

- Transport Boat : 500
- Corvette : 1000
- Heavy Patrol Boat : 2000
- Light Patrol Boat : 3000
- Helicopter : 8000 (!) (as soon as they spawn, give priority to these)

I wasn't able to get the full 5 gears the first round.
But with a few gears obtained the first round and the MODs set to active, it became easier to get 5 gears on this challenge.

Sorry, this Game Clip has been removed

(Please note : the clips were recorded by Xbox One's Game DVR. Therefor, any eventual unlocking achievements appeared on my screen were not registered by the Game DVR)

EDIT: as pointed out by The SCHWARTZ 00, you don't need a fully upgraded eDEN Spark to get the achievement.
I personally felt it made things easier.

Then, I headed to Ponere to re-oppress the city as it was already liberated.
But in fact, any settlement where you can gather enough enemies together, will do.

You have to kill at least 10 enemies with a single eDEN Spark Strike (by holding cn_RT).
You can direct the spark strike with cn_RS, and still move around with cn_LS

I personally chose a police station since a couple of enemies come to the open area once a few things are blown up, and as soon as a few are killed, some more spawn through the door as shown in the vid I made.


(Please note : the clips were recorded by Xbox One's Game DVR. Therefor, any eventual unlocking achievements appeared on my screen were not registered by the Game DVR)

EDIT: another appearantly good spot to get this achievement on, brought by SiegfriedX, would be Guardia Val De Mar V.


Credits go to kornfan2007 for this vid on youtube.

Again, any settlement will do as long as you can have 10 enemies to kill within 12 seconds (duration of the Spark Strike)

Any suggestions to improve this guide are welcome.

Thanks for voting thumbs up if the guide was helpful.

Good luck!

Anyone got any alternatives to this? I just can't get it to go like it does in the video. They never spawn in the same way.

Siegfried thank you so much for posting that link, got it after my second attempt with that method.

I'd like to add you don't really need 5 Gears in the challenge to make this easier, I think 4 will do. I only had the fourth upgrade when I got the achievement. 100% completion, wooooo!

I imagine the gears make it easier, it can be done without touching the challenge if you pick a small enough town, such as Agro Nove which is on the southern tip of Prima.

I managed to get 5 gears pretty much by accident on the challenge.

Also, I only got 7 kills according to the challenge tracker that popped up at the corner of the screen and got this achievement anyway. It apparently unlocks early just like the DLC's other achievements.

The link in the comments worked great for me too! Easy, first try, with fully upgraded spark.

i got 4 gears the first try on the challenge, then with them on getting the 5th was a cakewalk. no real reason to not have a fully powered lightning gun if you have the option.

I got this at the Argo police station with the standard eDEN Spark. Just swept the base with the beam and it popped no problem.

@ChrisLemsPa Argo police station is very easy place to get it. I've landed on highest building and got 14 kills with my first beam (3 gears in challenge).

The second video in the solution (the one linked in the comments) worked perfect for me. Got it first try.

I didn't do it over one continuous shot either. I emptied the spark and killed 6 or 7 soldiers, waited for a recharge and killed 3 or 4 more. This seems to relate to killing soldiers in 10 seconds, not necessarily in one shot.

I was able to get this during the "Abandon Ship" mission, without upgrades. During the mission, three or four vehicles enter the cove, park close together and empty of passengers. With each vehicle having 3-4 passengers each, this put the necessary number of enemies in a nice, close grouping for the eDEN Spark strike.

This happens at least twice during the mission.

I noticed that mine was a little awkward to get. I first tried immediately after you got it. 4 boats come extremely close all containing 3 people. I blasted them but no pop. I ending up getting it later on during the battle for Medici. When you come to the open field with a platoon of troops they're basically all lined up neatly so you can call in a strike and just guide it along.

The EASIEST PLACE to do this is during the penultimate story mission The Shatterer of Worlds, Act 3 Mission 7. It's far easier than any town or base, so if you haven't yet done that mission, bring along your eDEN Spark.

During the second phase of the mission you are told to hack or destroy two SAMs which protect the air space above an open field that is absolutely littered with soldiers and armored vehicles. There are about 15 soldiers all lined up, not even counting the ones in vehicles. You can easily lay them all to waste in one go.

As for upgrading the eDEN Spark, of course it makes sense to upgrade it as far as you can, but this spot is so perfect even the vanilla weapon will do. What will help the most is reaching the 3rd gear in the Boat Invaders challenge to earn Power Up, which extends the spark duration to 12 seconds.

You get the weapon at the end of the second (and last) DLC story mission. You then unlock a challenge that you can use to fully upgrade the mods of the gun. This is needed I think.

What you have to do is kill 10 enemies in one firing of the weapon. So find a base with enemies grouped up and hold cn_R2 to fire at them. Do not let go of the fire button and aim around trying to get all enemies.

If you fail then you can liberate the base and try again. You have to have completed the story to liberate a base. If you haven't then you can try this during a mission or on any bases you have available. I would choose a small base as I tried on the bigger ones, but found the enemies spread too far apart. I used "Guardia Val De Mar V" on the third island to get this.

I made a video of the moment I got this:

In this case, it is advisable (but not necessary) to fully upgrade the Eden Spark. It is very easy to upgrade with just one test.
