How to unlock the A Bridge Not Too Far achievement in Stormrise - Definitive Guide
First off, it isn't very hard to do, you just have to work quickly. The first time I did this mission, I took my sweet time taking all the bases and such. When I finally went to move my leader (Sable) across the bridge, she killed the Eclipse by accident and finished the mission. You just have to make sure you capture your bases fast so you don't catch the Eclipse. Your leaders can do this very efficiently, so just use them. Also, working fast ensures that heavy turrets can't be built on the enemy nodes.
As soon as the mission starts, capture the base directly ahead of your spawn area. Then proceed to select all of your leaders separately and send them to the far right bridge's node. (They move faster when separate).It has a green objective marker, so just make them go to that. When they're all gathered near it, kill the base and capture the node.
From there, select each leader individually and tell them to capture DIFFERENT bases. If you're worried they won't survive, equip a shield or other utensil when close to the base. I would suggest sending your spare leader (because 2 bases are left with 3 people) to the middle node with the other heading there because of heavier support. Whoever attacks the middle node should be sent around the front of the building next to your newly acquired base. The one attacking the left side should be sent along the backside of that building (along the paved street).
(You only have to have the most basic node in each of the 3 spots once captured to get the achievement, and it pops automatically upon having all 3 at once).
I hope this helps a few people out, and you can always message my Gamertag (ShadyZ93) with questions. Tell me what you think of my first guide!
The eclipse (the primary objective that ends the mission if accomplished) hovers over the rightmost bridge. Once it starts to take damage, it will move from right to left across all of the bridge control points. If it is destroyed or if it escapes, then the mission is over.
1) I recommend capturing all of the control nodes that are not objectives first.
2) Take the leftmost control node/bridge objective. (You can also take the control node behind that one to reduce the amount of troops the enemy creates)
3) Take the middle control node/bridge objective.
4) To make sure that you get the achievement, you can build an army of warriors, rage and spectres (all melee units) and take the rightmost node.
5) After that, make a lot of ranged units and take down the eclipse!!1 It helps to take down the eclipse if you use matriarchs and upgrade the turrets on your bridge control nodes
This solution is to beat it on hard:
Easy and won't be long at all, immediately build the maximum amount of infantry, put them all in groups with LB.
Send them to the first node (bridge) to the right with your hero's by clicking on the green icon with all your units, and let them run there. Make sure your hero's don't run ahead of the army as they can die.
Once you capture the bridge the Eclipse should spawn by now. Attack it with your full army when you see it comming towards you and mission complete.
You really only need to save 1 time, when your army is ready. Thats if your hero's die you can just restart from save. GL, have fun!
This trophy is actually easily missable compared to the other whatnot story-related trophies. In Mission 7, your main goal from the beginning is to capture 3 nodes located at the side of each of the 3 bridges, opposite from you (of course). There also is an Eclipse watching the battlefield silently. The thing is if you destroy the Eclipse, the mission ends and if you do so before capturing the bridges, you won't get the trophy. Another thing is that the Eclipse is right over one of the nodes, making the capture extremely difficult. The solution is to capture the two other bridges first, then damage the Eclipse a little so it starts moving (at least 25% damage, your teammates will keep you in touch of its damage level). It should move towards its main camp and come back where he were but considering its speed, it lets you plenty of time to capture the third node.
