How to unlock the Archpocalypse achievement in Monster Train - Definitive Guide
The game has been updated since this solution has been written. Keep in mind that step by step instructions might not be spot on anymore.
This is rather simple with a custom match but to streamline it even more I have created a custom challenge which you can use to replicate this. You can also find Talos during this run for the Ta-ta Talos achievement.

Great guide, the only one I am missing now is Fel.

Great guide, thank you! Just a heads up that there is a typo under "Battle with Archus, Turn 2." Should read "Use Frozen Lance and Sting" instead of "Use Frozen Lance and Spikes." Not a big deal but could potentially trip someone up.
