| Gauntlet Achievements Guide

Please note that to get some of the achievements you must have Xbox Live.
In this guide, I have included tips to get all of the achievements, as well as basic guides to the characters'' pros and cons, a couple of things to keep in mind while playing co-op, and a glitch I have been graciously told by an awesome hardcore Gauntlet fan on Xbox Live.
Note: Try to get the "Master achievements" before you try to get an extremely high score, to make the time it takes to get them less.
Warrior Master - 5 points:
Get 1st place on in game score board with the Warrior using default settings.
For this one, just keep playing levels as the warrior using default settings until you get the achievement. Die as soon as you get it, to make the score that you have to get to for the other characters as low as possible.
Valkyrie Master - 5 points:
Get 1st place on in game score board with the Valkyrie using default settings.
For this one, just keep playing levels as the valkyrie using default settings until you get the achievement. Die as soon as you get it, to make the score that you have to get to for the other characters as low as possible.
Wizard Master - 5 points:
Get 1st place on in game score board with the Wizard using default settings.
For this one, just keep playing levels as the wizard using default settings until you get the achievement. Die as soon as you get it, to make the score that you have to get to for the other characters as low as possible.
Elf Master - 5 points:
Get 1st place on in game score board with the Elf using default settings.
For this one, just keep playing levels as the elf using until you get the achievement. You don''t need to die as soon as you get it if you have been doing these in order, because there are no other characters to get this achievement for.
Anti-Thief - 10 points:
Successfully kill a thief.
To get this achievement, you must successfully collect a potion. You must then get to a level with a thief on it and when the thief is onscreen, press the B button to use the magic and kill him. This is the only way to make thieves go away, besides letting them drain one hundred health. The first level with a thief on it is Level 7. Thieves are dressed in black robes, and are known as Death in other Gauntlet games.
Treasure - 15 points:
During a treasure level, successfully collect 11 treasures and exit.
This achievement may be challenging if you do not know the location of the exit in the first treasure level, which is the level between Level 10 and Level 11. The exit for this level is on the bottom wall of the level, slightly to the left of the middle. I suggest using the elf for this acheivement, as he is the fastest character.
Game Master - 60 points:
Finish level 100 using default settings
For this achievement, you have to get to Level 100 using the default settings. This is possibly the most time consuming achievement in the game. I suggest doing it on single player, as you can press the Y button to regain 700 health as many times as you want, making this achievement as easy as possible. Another suggestion would be to do it with four people, as you get 700 health at the start of every level when you are playing with 3 or 4 people, and it''s easier with four people.
High Score - 15 points:
Acquire an Xbox Live CO-OP score of 100,000 using default settings.
For this achievement, you must achieve a score of at least 100,000 on Xbox Live with other people. This may get tricky, because every time you die, your score resets itself back to 0. Try to stay behind, and ac*****ulate points slowly so you don''t die. Another tactic is to play with your friends on a level where there is a spot where you can sit in one place and keep killing people until you get to 100,000.
Bling - 15 points:
Collect 10 treasure chests on Xbox Live using default settings.
For this achievement, you just have to get 10 treasure chests while playing on Xbox Live. I suggest playing as the elf for this achievement so you can get ahead of everyone else and get the treasure until you have 10, because the elf is the fastest character in the game.
Max CO-OP - 10 points:
Play Xbox Live with 4 players.
For this achievement, all you have to do is start a game that has 4 people in it. You can quit immediately after the game starts if you want to, as long as the game starts. This is the easiest achievement in the game.
CO-OP - 15 points:
Finish level 10 on Xbox Live with another player using default settings.
For this achievement, you have to complete Level 10 on Xbox Live with another player using the default settings. This achievement is made a lot easier by playing with all 4 people. Before you attempt this achievement, make sure you are playing with at least 3 people. It is fairly easy up to Level 10. Then, just try to head straight for the exit and don''t stop for food, magic, etc... You can also use the glitch described below for this level.
CO-OP Master - 40 points:
Finish level 20 on Xbox Live with another player using default settings.
For this achievement, you have to complete Level 20 on Xbox Live with another player using the default settings. This achievement is made a lot easier by playing with all 4 people. Before you attempt this achievement, make sure you are playing with at least 3 people. This is a pretty hard achievement. Make sure that you use the glitch I will tell you below to beat any levels that are compatible with it.
Now, I will describe the characters for you, so you can choose which character you like the best.
Thor, the Warrior, is the slowest character in the game. He is also the strongest character in the game. His color is red, and he has a melee attack, meaning that he can defeat stronger enemies simply by running into them. Be careful when using this tactic, however, as you get hurt more by using it a lot. Pick this character if you like small levels where there is only one or two spaces in a hallway so you can get in front of everybody to get all of the kills.
Thyra, the Valkyrie, is the second fastest character in the game. Her strength is about medium. Her color is blue, and she has a melee attack, meaning that she can defeat stronger enemies simply by running into them. Be careful when using this tactic, however, as you get hurt more by using it a lot. The Valkyrie is basically a speedy, average character that you should pick if you want strength and speed, even if they are reduced slightly.
Merlin, the Wizard, is the third fastest character in the game. His strength is a little bit over average. This character does not have a melee attack, so try not to run into the middle of several enemies. Personally, I think that the Warrior is the worst character in the game, but you might want to choose him for his fairly high strength.
Questor, the Elf, is the fastest character in the game. He is also the weakest character in the game, even though his strength is just slightly below Thyra''s.
This character does not have a melee attack. You should pick the Elf if you like getting in front of everyone to take the food, magic, and treasure, or just if you like moving and shooting quickly.
If you want to play serious co-op, you should keep these things in mind:
-Always let the person who is lowest on health get the food.
-Always let the wizard get the magic.
-Be mindful of where you are shooting to avoid shooting food and magic.
-Don''t trigger switches or walk into teleporters if you don''t know what they do.
-If you don''t know what to do, and another player has advice for you, listen to it.
-Be careful not to shoot your partners in the later levels when shooting your partners stuns them.
Now, here is the world-famous Gauntlet glitch. Well, it''s more like a cheat, and there''s actually two of them here.
Glitch Number One: On Level 1, kill the ghosts and the generator and go to the bottom of the screen where the gate is. There will be a gate, a key, and an exit. This glitch is only helpful if you want to use the other exits in Level 1 to go to Level 4 or Level 8. All you need to do is wait by the gate, and it will eventually disappear, as well as the large one in the upper right corner of the level, saving you a key or possibly two. There is an invisible timer that starts counting down as soon as the level starts, and when it reaches about 32 seconds (I''ve timed it 3 times) the two gates should disappear. I think this cheat may be somewhat applicable with other levels, but I''m really not sure.
Glitch Number Two: This is the really helpful one. It works on any level as far as I know. However, you wouldn''t want to do it on any level. Before attempting this glitch, make sure you are on a level that has a spot where everyone in the game can get to a spot to stand still where no one can shoot them, preferably in the beginning of the level. Once everyone is in a spot where no enemies can hurt them, everyone must stand still for 200 seconds. Make sure everyone has at least 205 health before attempting this. After everyone has stayed still for 200 seconds, every wall in the level will turn into an exit. Everyone can shoot as much as they want to, as long as nobody moves the left control stick. Early, in the game, this is extremely helpful on Level 10, which is very hard to beat. It is also helpful on Level 14, which is essentially the same level as Level 10.
There is a very annoying glitch which hikes up the ingame high score to 6.7 million or more. It should be 8000. If you don''t know if this has happened to you, start a game and die. Then, wait to see the ingame scoreboard pop up. If it is a lot more than 8000, you should do the following:
1. Disconnect from Xbox Live.
2. Turn on you Xbox 360, go to the Xbox Guide, and press X to sign out of your profile.
3. Go to the Xbox Live arcade and start Gauntlet.
4. Once at the main menu of Gauntlet, turn on or plug in a second controller.
5. Select your main profile with the second controller and start a game with the second controller.
6. Now, you should start the game and die immidiately to see the ingame scoreboard as described before. It should no longer be the extremely high score that it was before.
Thanks to Kestler for this helpful hint!
Well, I think I''ve covered every aspect of the game pretty well, and I hope I helped you. If you have any questions or comments, you can e-mail me at [email protected].
