Zen Pinball

This is one of the easier trophies for the table. First you have to translate glyphs to find treasure. You translate glyphs by shooting the ball up the monument orbit. This is the orbit to the right of the idol with the little foot with 4 toes in front of it. There is also a yellow light below it that says “MONUMENT”. You can easily hit this ramp consistently by letting the ball roll just a little bit off the right flipper and then hitting it up there. I found the most effective way to catch the ball after I hit that orbit was to hold both flippers up in the air. Although this works most of the time, you have to beware because sometimes the ball will shoot straight down the middle and you have to be quick to prevent that (that’s also why I always have ball save enabled). Once you hit this orbit 4 times you’ll see the “EXCAVATION” light turn on at the entrance to the left excavation orbit. Do not go up the excavation orbit yet, you need to hit the monument orbit another 4 times to enable the “XTRABALL” light to turn on. After that red light turns on you can shoot the excavation orbit 3 times to dig up an extra ball! You can do this twice per “real” ball so you can essentially have 9 balls to play with.
