Trials Evolution

With your positive feedback on my original "Marathon" achievement guide for Trials HD, I figured I'd give it another shot with the "Flawless Victory" achievement for Trials Evolution to help you all out!

You need to complete the Scenic Route Tournament without any faults. First of all, this is a lot easier than Marathon. Instead of 20 tracks, you only have 6. If you've completed Marathon, this shouldn't be too terribly difficult. Here are the six tracks and their difficulty:

1. Cliff Jumper (Easy)
2. Tribal Trouble (Medium)
3. Falling Down (Medium)
4. Swamp Fever (Medium)
5. Around The Ranch (Hard)
6. The Ascent (Hard)

I just completed the achievement and here are my tips:

Practice the individual tracks in their respective bracket. Go for flawless gold runs when learning these tracks. If you are having problems on a specific track, go to it's specific leaderboard and you can you view replays of the top gold runs if you tab over to "Overall". This will show you techniques on how to get over obstacles, along with what buttons the rider was using at the time. The top guys are pros so you might not be able to replicate their runs, but tips and techniques can definitely be learned up from them. Once you are able to complete the 6 tracks separately without faults, give the Scenic Route Tournament a shot!

It's hard for me to do a track by track guide because each person rides differently and people may use different bikes which will change your technique, but I'll give a few tips I think are worth noting. For the record, I used the Phoenix Evo 250cc for this achievement but the Scorpion 450cc works great as well. This is a choice to make on your preference of the bikes. *EDIT* I tried it again and I think the Scorpion might actually make this easier! :P

Take your time on tracks where you don't need to speed through them to clear obstacles. Falling Down and Around The Ranch are killers if you try to fly through them. Of course, if speeding through them works for you, don't change that!

Falling Down always killed me because of stupid mistakes. Learn which jumps you should gingerly go over, which ones you can blast through, and take your time and you should be fine avoiding any stupid faults.

In my opinion, The Ranch is the toughest of the bunch. One great tip is that at the end you can actually fall down and use a ramp to jump across the finish line as opposed to trying to make the double jump before the finish line. But like I said, practice techniques that work for you.

A tip for The Ascent that I used and one that light447 pm'ed me as a suggestion is to go for the "Hard The Hard Way" achievement where you have to use the Rattler 125cc bike to get a faultless run on The Ascent. It's true! If you can beat this level with a crap bike, doing it in this tournament is a breeze! Thanks light447!

But the best tips I can give are to stay calm and practice! Keep at it and in no time your hard work will pay off and you'll have the "Flawless Victory" achievement!

If there is anything you feel that I can add to make this guide better, please let me know. Thanks for reading and feel free to comment!

Below is a great video walkthrough of this tournament from Maka91. It's with his permission that I post this video and all credit goes to him! Feel free to check out his youtube channel for more great Trials videos.

In comparison to "Marathon" in Trials HD, this achievement is much easier. The tracks aren't as bad, there's only 6 of them, and it's less than half the length. You still need to be quite good at the game though.

You must complete the Medium difficulty tournament named "Scenic Route" without faults. The tracks are as follows.

Cliff Jumper (Easy)
Tribal Trouble (Medium)
Falling Down (Medium)
Swamp Fever (Medium)
Around The Ranch (Hard)
The Ascent (Hard)

I recommend the Scorpion 450cc bike over the Phoenix 250cc for this tournament. I found it quite a lot easier myself this way, as the bike was more stable, and less likely to flip because of it's stats. I cut my faults down instantly by switching, however, both bikes can do the trick.

Tips:
Practice, Practice, Practice. Make sure to run through each track multiple times on it's own before going for this achievement, using the bike of your choice. You should also probably leave this achievement for last, as it is the hardest. Once you are able to get 2-3 perfect runs in a row on each track, you should start going for the achievement.

Cliff Jumper: If you can't do it, don't try for this achievement.
Tribal Trouble: Just take your time from checkpoint to checkpoint.
Falling Down: Find a path that suits your play style, and memorize the "dynamic" parts of the track as best as possible.
Swamp Fever: Slow and steady wins the race (and the tournament). This track is the least forgiving if you go too fast. Take your time through the obstacles.
Around the Ranch: The hardest track of all of them, in my opinion. Practice this one as much as possible, and make sure you are able to do the fire obstacle consistently.
The Ascent: This track is actually quite a lot easier with the Scorpion than the Phoenix. Take you time between obstacles, and don't reset your rider by accident if you start rolling backwards.

Everyone will probably find a personal route they are comfortable taking through each level. The trick is to find a route that suits you, and that you can perform consistently without faults. I recommend the ones I use in video as they work for me and others, but some people may have trouble with certain approaches of sections.

Thank the heavens this is the new marathon, it took me around 2 hours instead of the 20 from Trials HD.

6 tracks:
Cliff Jumper (easy)
Tribal Trouble (medium)
Falling Down (medium)
Swamp Fever (medium)
Around The Ranch (hard)
The Ascent (hard)

I used the phoenix for maximum control but I hear you can use the scorpion if you have trouble with the Phoenix. The first 3 shouldn't be a problem, just take your time and line up each jump, remember time is not a factor.

For Swamp Fever you have to make sure not to gun it too hard near the beginning so you don't hit the mine atop a structure, and also halfway into the track you must gun it to clear a wooden barricade that'll mess you up. besides those two I would go pretty slow to limit mistakes.

Around the Ranch is definitely the hardest here as there are a few tricky sections. For the fire dumpster i suggest front flipping once you hit the wooden barrier at the end as it proved to be more effective than trying to land normal. Once you reach the top of structure near the end I suggest going gingerly over the edges and avoid gassing through the jumps, just land on two wheels and this one is done.

The Ascent- After getting the Hard the Hard way achievement you should be pretty familiar with this track. Just take your time and line up the jumps, none of which should be any challenge with the phoenix.

The main thing for this achievement is patience. If you get too frustrated put the tourny down and do work on something else, or else you'll just waste time being sloppy.
