How to unlock the Earn A-ranking in all missions achievement in Ninety-Nine Nights - Definitive Guide
Not that tough to do really as long your character is level 7 or over. The main factors seem to be number of people killed vs time taken vs combo count.
The three toughest levels seem to be the ue-war forest for Inphhy, varrgard castle for Asphar and the phylota flatlands for Dwingvaart and all three are quite achieveable at A grade if you can hit a 1,500 + combo.
For Inphhy, just after you have warped to take on the Pwuck king, equip your level 1 blade and wear the cursed choker (-50% attack power). This is about the only part of the level that there are enough baddies to rack up a monster combo.
For Asphar, the same principle applies but head out to the top of the map through the narrow passage, when you get nearly half-way along there are some powerful baddies which should allow you to get to a 1,500 combo.
For Dwingvaart, concentrate of retaining as much health as possible until the end of the level. When Asphar and Inphhy appear they bring a massive army with them, equip the level 1 blade and the cursed choker a 2,000+ combo is easily achieved.
Just remember to switch back to your power weapons and items once you've reached your combo!

Well said. I always thought the combos were the key!

Watch out! If you clear the cache of the xbox all A-rankings will be deleted.

I'd recommend to equip yourself with the level 1 weapon + Cursed Choker item (-50% att.). Try to train your characters around level 7. You'll achieve an easier combo, especially with Aspharr on the Varrvazzarr Castle level which might be the hardest mission of them all. I'll explain this mission in a little guide :)
Aspharr - Castle of Varrvazzarr
- Turn around and walk all the way to the north (best is to leave your army by pressing LB + RB).
- Don't attack the enemy, just lure them all the way to the north.
- When you gathered them all, start button mashing the Y-button. If you have equiped yourself with the level 1 staff + cursed chocker you'll get a nice combo. Try to aim for a 4,000 combo (at least).
- Then just finish the level normally, easy A-rank I'd say.
Also don't forget that Aspharr has 6 missions, not 5. At the Eaurvarria Mountains you have to decide where you're headed. You can pick either Fort Wyandeek or Castle of Varrvazzarr. Both have to be A (or S) for the achievement.
Good luck :)

For all I know it does. Check if you got 6 A+ rankings with Aspharr. If you do, check if you finished Imphy's special mission with A+. Good luck :)
(noticed AkkonShinigami got the achievement, solution for other people dealing with this problem)

Any idea why I still get no Achievement? I got all Missions on A or S and this thing still doesn`t pop up.

Inphyy - Ywa-Ue-Uar Forest
(From the attached video for those, like myself, who hate videos.)
Kill everyone until you can use your Orb Spark attack. In the final section when you can fight Dwakfarrio, gather all the enemies in that section into one place and unleash the awesome!
It pushed me up to an A rank after multiple attempts at the 1500 Combo with the Pwuks (They kept interrupting my combo). I did get a combo of 1086 there though..
My Statistics for the record:
Time: 14:50
Kills: 1166
Standard Attack: 736
Orb Spark: 430

Max Combo: 1086

This is a tip to help get and A rank on that 1 annoying Aspharr mission, Castle of Varrvazzar.
I had Aspharr at level 8 when i did this. I think the fact that i got some kills with my orb spark attack(blue gauge) helped my score.
my equipment was
item clover 2
giant bracelet 2
dark gloves
ageis charm 2
life globe 2
so when u start pick either the heavy infantary or archers.
1. leave your guard once the mission starts.
2. kill enemies until you have a the blue orb gauge filled.
3. go back to the start of mission and walk, (dont dash, some of the enemies wont follow you) down to the end of the thin path.
4. when all enemies have built up, equip cursed choker, remove all attack equipment you have on and put his default weapon on.
5. now try to get a 1,500 hit combo(i got 1,505 lol) use his Y attacks.
6. when you have a combo, use the blue orb attack you have been saving. there will be enough enemies to get a decent amount of kills with it.
7. now just beat the level as normal killing the bosses and others and hopefully you will get the A rank.
i had a low guard survival rate i think it was 43% and it took me 22 or so minutes to beat the mission.

Was having trouble with Vigk Vagk, and so i searched and found this. All credit goes to author as listed at the end.
"I heard some people having trouble with getting A ranks with Vigk Vagk. For those who haven't got them already, here's a tip:
If you're facing the enemy, just keep rushing (Right Trigger) into the enemy. Your combo will increase, however the enemy units won't die. You can go on as long as you like :)
After you've finished your rush-combo, you can easily kill them with X (mostly one hit kills).
I hope you'll find it useful, and good luck :)
Grtz, DarkDutch"
it really helped me. got a 3000 combo and got A's on both easily
Also, I would like to say, that combo's ARE NOT the most important thing, at least that is not what I found. Collecting Orbs gives you a much better score, ESPECIALLY ORBs that are collected when you use the BLUE flashing bar. I had many situations where 300 Blue orb kills, got me over 10000 orbs collected with only around 300 combo.
Use the collection method, luring enemies into big groups with a flashing red bar, one red bar can get you a blue bar, and then do the same thing with the blue bar, lure enemies together (you can use the dash RT to get them together or run spiral). One solid pack of enemies can get you a high combo and lots of orb kills and tons of orbs collected.
Combos alone with basic weapon i found to be a waste of time. (I used the RT combo builder with Vigk Vagk when farming, got over 3600 combo and still only got a B on one of his missions (didnt use blue orbs that time).
Good luck!

Basically, all you have to do is get an “A” ranking or “S” ranking on every mission of all 7 characters. It’s quite easy and should take you no time at all. This is the specific amount of points you need for each mission to get an “A” ranking and there is a specific way how these point are attained. Follow these xbox360achievement.org forum board links to know how these work (special thanks to TheMollyWhopper):
If you’re having any trouble at all attaining an “A” ranking add me to your friends list and message me (gamertag: Perpetualheaven) or refer to the xbox360achievements.org ninety nine nights forum board.
