How to unlock the Shadow Survivalist achievement in Killer Instinct - Definitive Guide

I can confirm that this does NOT need to be done in 1 go.

I rarely beat more than 3 in a row, but I was keeping track and it popped immediately after my 25th total victory! :)

Probably because you didn't include any strategies on beating AI with vastly varying traits and behaviours. Some people don't understand that some things simply cannot be spelled out for them with a foolproof method. It was probably someone looking for a strategy on how to beat the shadows as opposed to how to get the achievement. Either that, or someone misclicked. I know i've done it before. Anyways, upvote from me mate.

Do you have to 'save shadow info' after the win for it to count or can you just accept the next opponent and it still count?.

Does anybody know, if I didn't keep track myself, where can I find a stat in the game to see how many wins I have so far?

An absolutely awful guide. Made me and I reckon quite a few waste their time.

Shadow Survival can be accessed via 2 methods, one by simply going to Survival and then selecting Shadow Survival and the other is to go to Shadow Lab select your Shadow and choose Shadow Survival. You have to use the second method for the achievement I believe.

Not sure why Exe the Hero didn't bother to explain, guess he's a novice.

Same here. I did over 30 from both places (accessing from Shadow Lab and main menu) and never got it. What a waste of time.

Has anyone unlocked the achievement without it showing wins for your shadow? I just won 20 shadow survival matches in a row and it showed no wins

I just unlocked this today. I played thru the shadow lab. I did not save my shadow data at all. I played till I lost then started again. Unlocked at exactly 25 wins (they were not in one sitting either).

I was playing this at first by accessing the shadow survival through the Fight-Survival-Shadow Survival method and honestly wasn't keeping track of my wins but I feel like I had to have been over 25 so I saw this thread accessed Survival through the Shadow Labs and bam one match win and it unlocked so could be coincidence or what have you but definitely wanna go and play it though the Shadow Labs

Other guide missed multiple important clarifications, so let me try, 5 years late :)

Most important is to choose the right Shadow Survival. There are two ways to do it, but one is glitched and will NOT unlock achievement.

CORRECT: Single Player > Fight > Shadow Lab> Select your shadow > Shadow Survival
INCORRECT - DO NOT USE: Single Player > Fight > Survival > Shadow Survival

- You must defeat 25 shadows total. Thankfully, these do not have to be consecutive, or in the same session
- Your shadow will not record any wins or loses, so don't worry about this
- If you get a download shadow error, say yes once and no the second time seems to fix it most times, YMMV
- Whether you save your recording or not is irrelevant for this achievement. If you save, you can stack with 'higher learning', or can skip saving if you want to keep your shadow as is, or save a few clicks

To do this, you need to select "Single player" -> "Combat" -> "Shadow Laboratory" -> "Survival among the shadows." We play until we reach 25 victories.
