How to unlock the Crystalor, not Chris Taylor achievement in Knight Squad - Definitive Guide
This achievement is earned by finishing the fourth challenge. This challenge is a little tricky, you must break open all the crystals and kill the monsters by using the drill and sword. After you kill all the monsters the middle part of it will move around and shoot. You must collect the bow and arrow and kill it. Here is a video with tips for completing this challenge.
I've come up with a solution that takes advantage of the creature's attack patterns to keep you safe from all his shots. The basics of the battle are:
- Grab the drill.
- Drill a head until the crystal is gone.
- Return to the items and grab the sword.
- Hit the uncovered head three times and the head dies.
The hard part is to avoid the attacks - and it seems mostly random, but I assure you there's a definite pattern you can use to make his attacking pretty easy to deal with.
Basically before the "bullet-hell" bit, take up position on the top or bottom of the level half way between the creature and the items. From there, when it starts shooting, move left and then towards the items and you should be able to dodge all of the shots. Using this method I survived for five minutes without killing a single head (just to see if it was as safe as I thought).
You can also start from the centre next to the items and work your way up/down and forward.
When the 8 heads are destroyed, grab the bow and sit in the bottom-right corner taking shots at him. You should only have to dodge two or three energy bolts this way and depending on your accuracy you'll be done in less than a minute after killing the final head.
For those wanting more details, watch this video I put together (it's definitely easier to show than explain):
Happy hunting!
Everytime the Enemy is using his circling attack you can Smash your pause button to stop and continue the round. This gives you the oppertunity to doge the Bullets in slow-motion, which makes this very easy. I've included the Video where u can see how to do it.
I am using the method a couple seconds after one Minute.
Good luck
Eventhough you won't Need it
Just don´t attack before his blue shot.
Dodging the Bullethell-Phase is easier when you just concentrate on one Shot-pattern.I personally preferred the upper ones to guide me through it.Just stay more on the downside at the moment it begins and move upwards.
There will be fish engulfed in crystals surrounding a flower in the middle. As soon as the match begins pick up the drill and drill the crystals off of the first two fish closest to you, and then immediately run back towards the sword. At this point the circle will spin and shoot out a bunch of petals that you’ll have to dodge. Pausing and unpausing is extremely useful since it gives you more time to react and dodge the petals. Once that stops, run to the exposed fish and kill them with three swipes of the sword. Each time you’ll have to also dodge a laser from the flower in the middle, which is easy to anticipate since it lights up.
Now run back to the drill and dodge petals again. Rinse and repeat until all the fish are exposed and slaughtered. As you get to the fish near the back I recommend drilling one at a time instead of two so it gives you more time to get back to the sword in time. Patience is key.
Once all the fish are slaughtered, the flower in the middle will begin to move around the map shooting lasers from all directions. It will also expose a bow that you will need to pick up. Shoot it 3 times with the bow while avoiding the lasers and it will die.
