Achievement Solutions

Self explanatory achievements have been omitted from this list, unless the circumstances of receiving them are more difficult than usual

SHENZI, BANZAI & ED
- Hyenas get scared when they run past soldier units. Avoid placing Barracks, Reinforcements or non-flying Heroes in their path.

BRAVE LITTLE TAILOR
- Keep your Hero away from the Ettins, or come back to the level when your Hero is at a higher level.

GEORGE FALL
- In the top right of the screen a thin vine is draped across the corner. Tap it a few times for George to swing into the tree (ouch).

SCISSORFINGER
- There are three hedges in the garden portraying gaming characters. Tap on them until they all appear as a T-Rex. On the Steam version, the bushes are random. The mutual type changes each time the level is started, therefore the player has to experiment a bit.

FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT
- White Rabbits can be found in The High Cross, Waterfalls Trail, and Gryphon Point. Tap them a few times until they burrow underground.

PEEKABOO
- The row of houses in the bottom right corner of Grimmsburg is home to three fairytale friends. The Big Bad Wolf, Red Riding Hood and a Little Pig. When they appear, tap them. You need all three in one play of the level.

CANDY RUSH
- Tap the candy house in Grimmsburg an a witch will come out. Tap the witch repeatedly to kill her. If she goes back inside, just tap to bring her out again. When she disintegrates, Hans and Ethel will be free.

FEE-FI-FO-FUM!
- In the top left corner of Grimmsburg is a small plant in an open space. Tap it a few times to grow it up and off the top of the screen. A chest for 150 gold will fall down as an extra reward.

GARGAMEL
- Minding their own business around the edges of Neverwonder are tiny purple gnomes. Tap them to make them vanish. If you run out before the achievement is awarded, don't worry, as they will come back after a short time.

SHROOM SAYS
- Play the Shroom Game 9 times in a row without losing. You can only play after the first wave has been called. Come back to this level after you have a high level hero and lots of Upgrades so you can build a sufficient defense, allowing you to play the game without being distracted.

I LIKE TO MOVE IT
- In the space between the ruins at the bottom of the map, a number of vines stretch across the sky. Every so often a funny lemur will wander across. Tap him once for him to stand up and dance away.

CALL ME MR. PIG
- Use Teleport Scrolls to shift a Razorboar back behind other enemies. Place Reinforcements just ahead of it to encourage it to run through the enemies. This may take several tries. The Ascent is the best place, as the Razorboar often spawns alongside Sword Spiders

SORCERER'S APPRENTICE
- Three artifacts can be found in the Arcane Quarters. A blue wizards hat, a mop and a magic book. Tap all three to make them vanish.

KINGSFOIL LEAVES
- Group two or more Forest Keepers together and give them all the first stage of Circle of Life. Keep a Hero near them so it is always in range of their healing, and don't let the hero die.

VALAR MORGHULIS
- Play Mactans' Retreat on Veteran. Defend your exists with high level Barracks, and fill every other spot with a Golden Longbows. Upgrade each with level 2 Hunters Mark. Call waves early, and avoid using Thunderbolt. Do not worry about leaking enemies, unless you are at risk of losing the level before it is up. This may take several tries as it relies on luck, and being near the final waves.

HEAVYWEIGHT CLASS
- Use Teleport Scrolls to shift groups of enemies back along the path so there are several clumped together. The Iron Challenge of The Unseelie Court is also a great place to get the achievement.

MITCHELL-HEDGES
- Three crystal skulls are lying around in Galadrian's Wall, Blood Quarry and Beheader's Seat. Tap them all across the three levels.

MALIK UNCHAINED
- From the start of wave 2 in Blood Quarry, the enslaved Malik will emerge from the north-east cave alongside two Gnoll Gnawers. Aim a Thunderbolt over them, to allow Malik to break free of his chains, pick up a neat hammer that falls from the skies, and join you in battle.
