How to unlock the Master of the Spires achievement in Marble Blast Ultra - Definitive Guide

To play on the Spires map you'll first need to download the Agoraphobia map pack which currently costs 200 MS points. Once you have the map, the easiest way to get this achievement is to host a player match with a 2 person limit and one private slot. This will allow you to play on the map by yourself without any competition and will still unlock you the achievement(thanks to Tallboy2005 for the tip). Also note, you need to collect 50 gems in ONE GAME. It's not cumulative.

As for getting the gems, that can be a bit tricky on this particular map. The easiest way I found was to use gyrocopters. Try bouncing off walls when using the gyrocopters if you need to gain more height. If you're still having trouble, try activating a gyrocopter and stay on the ground. Then roll over to a super jump and use it before your gyrocopter runs out. This will give you much more than enough height. Now you just need to land on the gems. Be sure you aren't spinning your marble too much when you land or you won't be able to stay on whatever platform you're landing on.

Actually, the way I got the achievement was I played the Spires map in a player match, and set it to 2 players, with 1 private slot. It reads it as 2 people playing but no one can get in. You will still unlock the achievement and with no one to bother you. And yes I recommend using the gyrocoptors on the walls as well, but not so much anything else.

The method as described in the comment made by Tallboy2005 works. I recommend altering the original solution!

Should edit the solution to indicate the DLC is no longer available on the marketplace, and as such if you don't already own it this achievement is unattainable.

The DLC being delisted is noted on site. Solutions need not indicate this!

I can confirm that you don't actually need 50 gems for this achievement; you only need 50 points. I can also confirm that this can be done alone as stated above. dance

You must collect 50 gems in the new map 'Spires'. This can't be done on any of the other maps released in this DLC pack. Also, you must collect 50 gems in one match, it doesn't count over multiple matches. This can be done by yourself if you want, just set it to maximum 2 players with one Private Slot and no one can join your match to steal your gems.

Notes:

  • Has to be done on the map Spires.
  • Can be done in Ranked or Unranked.
  • Can be done by yourself with no other players.
  • Gems don't accumulate, it has to be done in one match.
  • Achievement unlocks at the end of the match.

Note: To get access to this achievement you must first download the Agoraphobia Expansion Pack DLC pack.
