How to unlock the Flawless Victory achievement in Rock of Ages - Definitive Guide

The easiest way to get this is on level 5, "Wallachia" against Vlad.

It's quite common for his rock to be unable to pass the little staircase made up of three ridges. If you place a large amount of cows and towers just before these then it should slow him down enough to the point that he never makes it over them even with his first ball. After every trip with your own ball, simply reinforce your own path just in case - cows and the stronger tower variant seem to work very well against him. I'm not sure if this is a glitch or just that his AI is so poor...

It can require a bit of patience to get to work but then it should seeing as it would be incredibly difficult to get any other way. This is also a good way to get the achievement for earning 7000 gold seeing as you "should" have all the time in the world to destroy everything.

I haven't been able to check if this would be boostable online or in split-screen multiplayer - if so then it would be very easy to set up as long as the second player doesn't play properly. If someone tries this by boosting and can let me know if that would work I'd be very grateful and provide full credit if they wish.


Edit: Marie Antoinette is also not very bright though she is much further into the game. A few War Elephants at the tight spots with the strongest towers you can afford and she falls off every few seconds lol

Edit 2: Can confirm that this, and every other situational achievement, can be unlocked through boosting. Just set up an online War game and wait for your partner to join. Very few people play this online so a partner is fairly necessary. The original method is still usable by people who want it legitimately or don't have Live access or a partner at least.
I also imagine you could get this through split-screen play, if that helps

It works split-screen. I did this and "Cocky" in a single split-screen game.

I just got this in the second tutorial level lol
I saw on the enemy boulder-cam that his boulder got stuck somehow in the flat area just outside my gate and just rocked back and forth in place for the rest of the level. Lucky me!

You can score both this and the "cocky" achievement by playing online with a boosting partner (or in a local split-screen match - Thanks CyberellaD Nile). Just have them do nothing (no building units, and no rolling). Just hurl three boulders at their gates and both achievements should pop.

I got on to post this solution, but you have already! One of the easiest achievements in the game if you've got a spare controller.

Now here's a trophy that sounds harder then it really is. There are 2 maps you can do this on, Vienna and Witches Sabbath. Both involve the use of the Giant Cannon, you basically have to build around the thing. What you do is, on either level, place a ton of catapults or crossbows or elephants or whatever, near the cannon, as you'll need something to keep the enemy boulder back long enough for you to finish the level. Then place some towers to make sure he really has to work to get out. For Vienna, place defenses near the hill where the other boulder rolls up toward the cannon area, try to keep knocking him off or you can completely block the way and let the cannon handle him for you. On Witches Sabbath build a armada of crossbows in the lighted tile area to the right of the cannon. Build a few towers in the lighted tile area in the top left area of the cannon. For both of these areas you have to build, then quickly make it to his gate, doing this will give you the money needed to build.

Use the highest levels of the catapult and try to destroy the boulder when you can. After that, build more towers and defenses to make sure he can never get by. It really depends on the A.I, I actually got the trophy at the beginning of the game because the A.I just stopped in place and sat there while I squished poor Leonardo. It happened again when I was going after Plato and Aristotle but this time the boulder started rolling back and forth as if it was wondering if this was a question or if that was a answer.
