How to unlock the Rival achievement in Warp - Definitive Guide

For gamers looking to boost this achievement:

Just like the solutions below state, you need to have a friend on the Challenge leaderboards with a gold time or better then you have to beat their time. Because I was impatient and didn't want to ask the slowest 50 people for a Friend Request, I have created a dummy account under the name GlancingDruid99 (XBL appropriated account handle) for this sole achievement which anyone can try to beat to pick this up.

Step 1: Complete the game on Adventure (or at least until you unlock the 3rd Challenge room, about 10-20min of the game in)
Step 2: Send a FR to GlancingDruid99 then PM me ('MugenKairo') on TA or XBL and i'll jump online and accept the request under the dummy account.
Step 3: Once you are on the friends list load up the 3rd challenge room 'Advanced WARP challenge room' and try to beat my time of 0:00:20.504. The gold time is 21.0000 seconds so if you can beat both times this achievement will be yours. I would suggest not even trying for Gold until you have a friend who already has Gold on the leaderboards.

The Gold rating for the challenges are very challenging but with patience and practice I found the 3rd challenge room to be the easiest to beat. Although I can't find a video on Youtube, once I have my Vid Capture set up I'll add my own Gold Challenge run into this solution. For everyone trying this, I took the left fork through the lasers, then veered right down the stairs past the canisters (which I didn't use) then through the soldiers to the end. With only a little practice it shouldn't be too hard to beat

EDIT: Saije7 managed to pop the achievement on 12 May 2012 which means that a gold account which has reverted back to Silver will still maintain its standing in the leaderboards, hooray!

EDIT X 2: Many gamers have said that they have popped the achievement while the FR is still pending. As this is not a one-off it is fair to say once you have sent the FR to the dummy account, go for Gold without waiting for a confirmation. This is a bonus for me as I no longer have to keep checking the dummy account :D

Best of luck to all!

I was able to pop it April 12 2023 without issues. Hopefully this is a temporary thing.

Great solution and thanks again for the assist MugenKairo. For those attempting this, it's pretty straightforward - I took the right hand paths at each fork and finished with a time of 0:00:19.959 after only 3 or 4 attempts. The achievement pops as soon as you reach the end, given you're under MugenKairo's time of course.

Followed the same path (left branch for lasers, avoided canisters, soldiers) and did it in 19.5 seconds. Perfect solution. Thanks again for the writeup!

MugenKairo doesn't even have to accept the invite with his dummy account. The FR was still pending, and I got the achievement :) But still +1

Sorry I didn't have a chance to accept it, the dummy accoount is ONLY used for this achievement, so I rarely check it. That is his sole purpose :D

This work by just having GlancingDruid99 s a "Friend Request Pending" and rebooting the game. He will appear in the leaderboard as a friend and work for the achievement.

@Ragnorak: Ill send you a TA PM later today about this as I am doing a collectibles guide for WARP but havent been on Live for a while. But what I would do is send a FR to the slowest Gold timer in any challenge you are most comfortable and HAVE NOT YET got a Gold time then beat their time before they can knock back your request. It will still count for the achievement.

Excellent tip regarding the Friend Request which doens't have to be accepted. I just pick someone from the leaderboards with a time of 20.998 seconds. Easy peasy!

Well, I've added someone with a low golden score, beated him, but the achievement didn't popped. Then I added another random guy with a low golden time, rebooted my console, and after beating his time the achievement popped. So, it's very important to restart your console (or at least go to the dashboard). Before going for the gold you can check the leaderboard and filter for your friends score. If you see the gamer you have to beat, then you can go for gold!

^ FYI, this is generally true of most/all leaderboard-based achievements using XBL leaderboards.

@Mugen - Thanks for use of your alt's time.

Adding the friend via xbox.com doesn't work though, needs to be added from the X360 console, but then it works a treat. Thanks man!

I currently have a silver account and it seems I'm being blocked from the leaderboards. So I'm pretty sure you must have an active Gold account in order to do this. Please let me know otherwise.

Not sure if this is an issue with the leaderboards, the game is quite old, I’m not sure if the leaderboards are still on servers. Can anyone confirm who had a Gold account confirm leaderboards are still active?

Confirmed the achievement is still obtainable and the leaderboards are still up, but you need Xbox Live Gold to unlock it as of June 2020. Since this is an EA associated title anyone who still wants the achievement should go unlock it asap as servers for these kind of games can go down anytime without notice.

As of 11/3/20 leaderboards are unbelievably still up and running. As said above, get this one sooner rather than later.

I really enjoyed this game, and was considering replaying it on my PS3. It seems the Rival trophy has been unobtainable since 2014. The leaderboards on Xbox are safe for now, but they could be shut off any day.

Finally got it. I really hate online achievements in an otherwise single player game. The challenge rooms also kind of suck IMO.

Hi. I just did it with the pending FR. But I was afraid because I beat you, but no achievement. I retried, I re-beat you, and then it popped properly. That was a scary thing, but all goes well in the end. Thanks for this dummy account.

No problem at all. My first gold run I got just over the 20.504. Then I beat it and it didn’t unlock. Once I dashboarded and redid the challenge it unlocked.

+1 to the ever-so-kind OP. I somehow didn't have Challenge 3 unlocked, so I looked at the leaderboard on the challenges I did have unlocked and sent FR's people who were JUST under the gold time. Restarted my whole game, then proceeded to try for a gold time until I got it. Achievement Unlocked.

Discontinued would be the correct flag. Unobtainable is only for achievements that have never been earned by anyone since the game’s release

For anyone doing it now, set a time yourself and then beat your friends. I just beat their time first and it didnt pop, but I did it again, beating their gold times, but i didn't beat my time and it popped

Thanks! As noted, all you have to do is send the friend request to MugenKairo's alt account and beat the time. He doesn't have to accept so it makes this easy on you and him. Thanks again for posting and allowing us to "use" that account.

Hi MugenKairo! Sorry to bother, I messaged you on XBOX, but you didn't answer. I'm having a problem with this, since I already got a pretty good time on the 3rd challenge before I even knew about the achievement. Now I'm in search for someone who has an easy to beat time on, preferably the 2nd room or any one abobe the 4th.
I've been messaging people on the leaderboard but no one answers... Starting to feel like an annoying kid that keeps nagging people :/ Any suggestions?

As of April 19th, 2023, this is still working, BUT if you're like me and added GlancingDruid99 while in-game, if you beat the time this WILL NOT unlock. You have to dashboard first before achieving the gold time.

As a side note, once you score a time, I would actually recommend scrolling through the leaderboards and sending a request to the worst gold time available as that will make things easier in case you're having trouble beating the 20.504 time.

You need to beat a friends gold time on a challenge.

Here is my youtube video of me beating this on challenge 3.

Thanks to MugenKairo for being my friend so i can earn it.

What I did was go to the leaderboard for a challenge I hadn't completed yet and sent a friend request to the gamertag with the slowest time that was still Gold. If they accept it should be easy to beat their time - but you have to quit to dashboard and reboot the game with the player already on your friends list first, or else the game won't register the achievement

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

This is probably the trickiest trophy. For this you will have to have a friend who has gold on one of the challenges, and then beat their time. Head over to the Trophy Boosting Thread to find a partner to help you with this.

Some people have also reported being able to do this by creating a second account, barely getting gold on a level (the first one is easiest), then adding their sub account to beat it on their main account.

This achievement requires a bit of effort on your part. You must have someone on your friends list who has a gold medal. You then must beat their time to get the achievement. This can be a difficult achievement, because some of the golds are difficult and to beat someone else that already has it, can be even more difficult. You can use the Challenge Trading thread to try your best to set this up, as many of your friends probably aren't playing this game. If it is inactive and no one is posting, just go to the leaderboards. Find the people who just barely made a gold medal. Now try adding them and if all goes well, you should have a few random people to play against if they accept.

To find people, use this thread HERE.

In any one challenge you need not just to get gold, but to improve the result of a friend who received gold.
