Fucking gold medals.

[IC3 L3G3ND]

I have now done all gold medals in albion and have not done any dark yet except the credits.

I found personally that having +1 multiplier and the gold coming to me automatically is by fast the best combination, anything else is just a bonus and is not necessary. Having invis or not losing multiplier will help if you do get hit but if you use garth you prob wont get touched.

Also def go for the boss route every time as your not guaranteed to win the races and only get 5000 gold max not sure if thats more on dark albion

[DROGTURIST]

Minigames are 10,000 in Dark Albion and on some levels, the boss doesn't give shit for gold. I can't get gold on Hobbe Caves right now because the boss yields like 1000 coins.

But there's a new problem. I just scored 150,000 on the dark The Cloud, which is 60,000 above the requirement, and I'm looking at a shiny, stupid, shitty silver medal. Fuck this game.

I've come across the same problem. I'm not impressed.

[DROGTURIST]

I have it on every dark level I've completed.

It better be because the gold texture they used is pretty faint and the darkness is obscuring it. Otherwise I'm going to burn this game onto a disc just so I can snap it in half.

[Hexahedronaut]

yep im done with this game just finished the cloud gold requirement- my last gold needed - and nothing no jeev for me

edit. nevermind figured it out

[xhunterrrr]

Either they completely messed up the coloring in Dark Albion or the medals are botched. I just got 178k on The Credits in Dark Albion. The medal looks silver, but my score was over 100k more than needed for gold.

[tripleb2k]

I'm pretty sure the colours are botched because I have 175889 on the dark credits and its showing 'silver.'
Browse through the leaderboards (RT and LT) to see your scores on levels and go from that. I haven't unlocked Gold so I'm not confirming anything. Just an assumption and a way to tell which level is complete.

[xhunterrrr]

All I have left for all gold medals are The Cloud, Dark Mistpeak, The Dark Cloud, Dark Hobbe Caves, and Dark Aurora. I haven't gotten around to the three that are available, but they should be just as simple as the rest. Can't wait for The Cloud/The Dark Cloud to unlock again.

EDIT: Just The Cloud and The Dark Cloud remain!

all my dark albion medals look silver to me but still i've got the achievement

[DROGTURIST]

I found a very sweet little tip for this achievement... Not sure if it's obvious and everyone already knows about it, but what I found out was that if you restart or quit level, you keep your Inner Board perks. They only go away when you finish a level and see your characters standing on the prize podium thing.

This means you can do some nice little things:
- Start over on the same level if you were just a few hundred coins short of the gold.
- Leave and play another level if you find that the level you're playing is too easy with the perks you have (so you can use the perks on a level tha tactually needs them).
- "Scout" levels to see how hard they are with various perks from Inner Board, without wasting the time. If you don't gold the level you're "scouting," just quit and do one you think you can do with the perks you have.

Good to know that they just fucked up the colors!

[tripleb2k]

Did it! God gold on all levels and all 400G! Thank christ.
Cheers to everyone for their input and tips on how to get Gold! It works!

I think maybe that the game might have like hidden platinum medals or something. I got 98k on one of the Dark Albion levels (not sure which, but the requirement for gold was 70k), and the medal is silver in colour, but when I look at a level I got silver in, the actual silver medal looks tattered whereas the other looks in pristine condition.

Just a thought..

I highly doubt it. I only have gold on all the non-dark levels despite being waaaaaaay over the gold requirement.

[pasnake]

for the medals in gold, is the cloud in gold necessary? I do not LIVE

Thank you

Is there anyway to reset individual characters? Most of mine are upgraded and too powerful to do co op with, they just destroy stuff too fast :/

[Nozza x360a]

I've working on the best route to take on the Cloud Light level for maximum points and I feel this is it below. It'll take you down the routes which will either have loads of tiny enemies for quick kills or normal sized but strong, so you can keep that multiplier up and get the bonus more as they take more hits.

Also make sure you have the necessary perks. I'll work on the Dark version soon.

Start > Left > Left > Right > Right > Right > Right > Centre

Here's what you'll encounter and what else you can do;

Start: 3 Gold Flowers
Left: Fences, 2 Gold Flowers, Chest, 2x Tiny Balverines Waves and Barrels
Left: 2x Hollow Hobbes Waves, Barrels and Chest
Right: 2x Hobbes Waves, Presents and Chest
Right: Chest, 2x Tiny Guardians Waves and Barrels
Right: Gold Flower., Chest, 2x Tiny Mechs Waves, 1x Mech Wave, 1x Large Mech Wave and Crates
Right: 1x Guardians Wave, Vases Chest and Gold Flower
Centre: Gold Flower, Infinite Chests and Final Fight.

You can only reset all characters. Word of warning, resetting characters causes unlocked characters to lock again.

Honestly, the gold flowers aren't worth it.

Also, I went right the entire way and made it with plenty of gold.

It's definitely worth it if your AI partners are powered up a bit and you don't have the x6 perk. I was just getting 5K over without it and that was with me grabbing all the little things along the ways.

So it's well worth taking those routes to gain maximum bonus and coins and not having to start over again. Some people maybe luck with another route but the one I feel I've put up above is pretty solid.

Finally all gold medals!

I feel like anything besides enemies is worth ignoring. I rarely smashed barrells and never opened chests (in case they gave me a Hobbe disguise or some shit) when I got my golds.

[Nozza x360a]

The only reason I mentioned them was because they keep your multiplier up. The problem I faced on the Cloud when not smashing the barrels was that when I went to the teleporter, my AI partners would hold back to destroy them and do it at a very slow pace.

So with them doing that, I was just waiting there for them while my x5/6 multiplier was doing down by the second while they took their time breaking the barrels.

So grabbing the gold flowers or destroying the fences, barrels or presents etc is really helpful in keeping you multiplier up while you make your way to the next section of enemies.

I really thought I read the method on this board somewhere, but I couldn't find it to come praise it, so I'll just state it here, but this is an ironclad way to hit all gold medals on single player.

*Reset your characters. Not your levels, just your characters.
*Suffer through the Dark Credits once to unlock Jack of Spades.
*Do not unlock any abilities for anyone on the game board that isn't Jack of Spades. Have Hammer unlock her secret character when possible. (Can't remember his name), then run with that guy, Garth, and Reaver.

Once you have all the outer tiles done for Jack, you can just crush the gold numbers for each level, and since the other people aren't leveled, they don't get in the way too much, and they're all ranged, so they don't get mired in your coins.

I had no problem whatsoever with any of the levels, and 2/3 of them I didn't have the magnet nor extra multiplier. Of course, when I did, super easy.

[mrj3d]

Hmm that's interesting. I really haven't tried getting the golds yet but that sounds like a great strategy.

Got me my final gold...thanks! Good strategy

It's hard to tell the diff between gold, silver, etc medals in dark Albion. I've seen some people say to write down what levels you got gold on but you could just check your leaderboard to see your highest gold score on each level. I'm sure most of you already knew that, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

Also, I think the Cloud level is a pain in the arse. Has anyone confirmed if always taking the right hand cullisgate is the best method (seen a lot of other posts on that too)?
