How to unlock the Nearing perfection achievement in World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap - Definitive Guide
The traps you will need are portal glyphs, esscence traps, gun sentry and frost pillars. (as upgraded as you can especially the portal glyphs with the first 2 runes and the frost pillars). I also had archers for the summon slots. They help a lot depending on their upgrades.
It does not matter what character you are but the higher your level the easier this will be. I would not recommend trying this under level 50 but who knows maybe its possible.
So first try to setup a essence trap in the middle areas and begin setting up and upgrading portal glyphs and then adding the frost pillars. The glyphs when fully upgraded will kill most of the enemies and the frost pillars will freeze the rest especially the giants giving you time to finish them off.
I use gun sentries for extra damage since they are concentrated and hit the giants best, but i guess you can use any other mechanical trap. you can build them anytime but your main focus is the teleporters and the frost pillars.
Once you have that setup you will get rid of most of the enemies before they even come close to the portal. Just use your character to finish off any stragglers.
One last thing this achievement does not pop up until you start Wave 31. so if you dont have it at the end of wave 30 dont panic.
You can do this one any of the 13 story maps in Endless mode, with the first being the easiest. It is also much easier in co-op (and has a separate achievement tied to doing it in co-op, "Heroes of the storm"), but doable solo if you've already got near or to Level 100. The big thing in this is making sure you have good trap upgrades to slow enemies (whether it be Ice traps, slow bullet upgrade for the gun turret, or stasis ground traps), and keep moving around to take out groups as early as possible. If you kill a group right near their spawn, you can kill the next lane halfway down, then meet the third toward the choke point. If you simply wait for all three lanes to get to the choke point, you can get overwhelmed.
This sounds much harder than it is, though do not take the later waves lightly either - especially the bigger giant enemies. You'll want to have a mercenary use Bash on these to do huge amounts of damage. After doing all the levels in story mode, scenario mode, and a few tries of Endless, you'll have the hang of how to tackle this.
