How to unlock the So Last Year achievement in Worms 2: Armageddon - Definitive Guide
RETRO 6
Difficulty: Medium
This level can be tricky, especially in getting your worms to higher ground. You need to get at least one of your worms to the top of the dinosaur to collect the crate (Bunker Buster,) which is vital for killing the enemy worm situated underneath the dinosaur. To get to the top, Ninja Rope as high as you can on the neck of the dinosaur on the left. Now you are attached, swing and extend your rope so your worm settles on the head of the dinosaur to the right. It is now just a simple Ninja Rope across to the top of the dinosaur on the left. Alternatively, you can place two Girders in between the dinosaurs to act as posts to attach your Ninja Rope to. The more worms you are able to get to the top of the dinosaur the better, as this makes it easier to hit the enemy worms below.
You’ll notice that the dinosaur has a few Mines on it which can be used against the enemy. Simply shoot at these with your Shotgun to make them drop down and explode on them. Once the worms on top have been disposed of, use the Bunker Buster you collected earlier to make a chute to the final worm underneath the dinosaur. Now, simply finish off this worm with whatever weapons you have remaining in order to complete the level.
RETRO 7
Difficulty: Easy
This mission is quite straightforward. The main difficulty will be placing the girders in suitable positions to reach the Utility Crate at the top (Blowtorch.) Please refer to the image below for a recommendation on how to place your Girders:

Once you have the Blowtorch, use it to dig through to the enemy worm and then use your Shotgun to finish him off.
RETRO 8
Difficulty: Easy
For the trophy An Apple a Day... you have to complete this mission without picking up a health crate. All of the worms are immediately reduced to 1 health, and the tide begins to rise after Sudden Death is instantly activated. With your first worm, take out the enemy nearest to you, who is located slightly above you to your right. The Shotgun is the best way to dispose of this worm, however any weapon will do as long as it hits him. The enemy’s next turn is most likely to kill your second worm, so you will need to rely on your third worm for your next turn. When it’s his turn, use the Homing Missile to kill the enemy worm on top of the tree. The enemy will then most likely take out your first worm, leaving you with only worm remaining.
The reason that we suggested you take out those two particular enemy worms first is that they were located on the highest ground on the map. You’ll notice that the two enemies who killed your second worm at the beginning have now drowned due to the rising tide, and that the enemy also has only one worm remaining. You can climb the palm tree to reach higher ground, which should be on a more elevated level than the enemy. You can now either Blowtorch your way up to the very top of the tree and take out the enemy, or you can continue to skip your turn until the rising tide finishes him off.
RETRO 9
Difficulty: Medium
For the trophy Worminator, you have to kill all the enemy worms before you kill their Vital Worm. To begin with, you will need to completely ignore this worm until all of the others have been disposed of. Please note that this trophy is glitched, and will only unlock if you kill the Vital Worm at the end on dry land and not by drowning him.
First, you need to make your way up to the statues above. You can do this by climbing the tree to your right and using either your Ninja Rope or two Girders. Once at the top, fire a Bazooka at the nearest enemy worm, which should knock him into the Mines behind. With your next turn, repeat this method and fire your Bazooka at the other worm at the top. Make sure not to damage the enemy’s Vital Worm sitting on top of the sign.
You now need to make your way over to the enemy worm located under the sign. Be wary of any Mines that may still be in front of you, and either use Girders to climb over them, or other weaponry to move them out of the way. The worm under the sign can be a bit tricky to kill but fire a Bazooka at the base of the sign to create a gap and the enemy worm should move into it making it an easy kill for you on the following turn.
Once you only have the Vital Worm left, use whatever weapons you have left to cause damage. You need to make sure you don’t hit him into the water so be cautious when using explosive weapons such as the Bazooka and Grenade. The Shotgun and Uzi may be safer options, as these are less likely to throw the worm into the water.
Once you have killed the Vital Worm on dry land, the mission is complete. The trophy should unlock shortly after.
RETRO 10
Difficulty: Medium
Ideally, the aim at first is to remove all three mines in the middle of the map. You can do this either by firing a Bazooka at an enemy worm and knocking him into the first Mine, or shooting the apple stalk and getting the Mine to fall down in amongst the enemies. If you do not detonate the Mine nearest to you on this turn, then you will need to restart.
On your next turn, you should target the worm on the leaf. Fire your Bazooka at him to knock him back; which should hopefully detonate the next two mines. If not you may wish to consider restarting the mission, or you can continue and try to get rid of any extra Mines later.
Over the next few turns you should try to kill the three worms in the middle whilst also clearing a path through to the banana. Once you have done this, Parachute down and walk to the banana. You will now need to dedicate a few turns to Blowtorching your way through this banana and up to the Vital Crate. Once this is done, you will have a direct route through to the Vital Crate, so walk over to it and pick it up.
