Achievement Guide

[Sajaa]

Andor Genesis
Destroy Andor Genesis!

Andor Genesis is a big ship that appears at the end of stage four. Start at stage four and progress to the end of the stage. When you get to the first river Andor Genesis will appear. To defeat it you need to drop a bomb on to the dark circle in the middle of it. As soon as it appears head to the right side of the screen and try to get close to it while dodging the shots. When you're in range drop the bomb to defeat it. Just keep selecting stage four in stage select and you'll get it eventually.

Blaster Master 100
Destroy 100 air-based enemies!

Easiest achievement in the game. Simply shoot down 100 air based enemies. You'll probably get this without even trying.

Blaster Master 500
Destroy 500 air-based enemies!

This achievement took me a while. What i did is i started on stage one then progressed through the level until right before you see water for the first time then killed myself. The point of this is you can get between 100-150 kills per life, i killed myself right before the first river because right after the first river is the first checkpoint and between the start of stage one and the first checkpoint there is a lot of air based enemies that won't give you much trouble. Just keep doing that until you're down to one life then just progress through the game. After doing this i made it to stage five then lost my last life and got the achievement. Note: This achievement doesn't stack and must be done in one game.

Bomber 30
Destroy 30 ground-based enemies!

See "Bomber 100"

Bomber 100
Destroy 100 ground-based enemies!

Ground based enemies are the enemies that you destroy with a bomb (to use a bomb press B). You can take out two enemies with one bomb by aiming right in between them if they're next to each other. Not much help i can offer on this one. Try to stay alive as long as possible and keep bombing. Note: This achievement doesn't stack and must be done in one game.

Special Flag
Reveal a Special Flag!

To reveal a special flag you have to hit a certain area with a bomb. For the location of the flags go here.
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homep...in/XEVIOUS.htm

Now scroll down to the hidden flag section. The first picture shows a flag in water that's in the first level. To get this flag start on stage one and progress through the level and after you pass the part with enemies that look like tanks you'll get to the river that's shown in the picture. The flag won't always be in the same spot every time, it can be to the left or right of the location shown in the picture. Just get to the river and start bombing left and right across the river and it will appear. You don't have to pick up the flag for this achievement you just have to reveal it.

Sol Citadel Destroyer
Destroy a Sol Citadel!

Sol citadel's are little domes that are hidden from plain sight. To reveal them you need to bomb the area that they're in. For the location of the citadels go here. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homep...in/XEVIOUS.htm
Scroll down to where it shows the picture of four citadels. These citadels are located at the beginning of stage nine. Just bomb the area that's shown in the picture then bomb the citadel once it's revealed.

Sol Citadel Revealer
Reveal a Sol Citadel!

See "Sol Citadel Diviner Master"

Sol Citadel Diviner
Reveal 3 Sol Citadels!

See "Sol Citadel Diviner Master"

Sol Citadel Diviner Master
Reveal 5 Sol Citadels!

Sol citadel's are little domes that are hidden from plain sight. To reveal them you need to bomb the area that they're in. For the location of the citadels go here. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homep...in/XEVIOUS.htm
Scroll down to where it shows the picture of four citadels. These citadels are located at the beginning of stage nine. Just bomb the area that's shown in the picture and try to reveal as many as you can. After the screen passes them kill yourself. You will then start at the beginning of stage nine. Just keep repeating this until you have a total of five citadels revealed.

40,000 Points
Score 40,000 points.

See "100,000 Points"

100,000 Points
Score 100,000 points.

This achievement can be a little challenging. For more lives go to the main menu then help & options, then settings, then change the extend setting to "1st 10,000pts to Every 40,000pts". Try get as many special flags as possible and try to reveal as many sol citadels as possible. You get 2000 per sol citadel revealed and another 2000 for destroying it. That's the best advice i can give you. Just keep practicing and you'll get it eventually.

Hope this helps. This game's been out forever i'm surprised nobody made a guide.

Hey your strat for getting the 500 air based kills worked like a charm, that was the only one I was missing for the longest time, I was gonna write a guide since no else had but I didn't know what to say about that, overall good guide mang, make sure you submit it for the main page. And I'm sure no one will ever read this because no one plays this game except for you and me lol.

[Scotian Bred]

Why didn't you link to the maps i already provided .. it would have been alot easier and the maps are for full levels .. i didn't make the thread for nothing i didn't have the 200 GS but i had the links to the maps way to long ago.

[slatanica]

Finally there is a fuckin' guide. thanks man

[GrossTaintStink]

Thank god there is someone who knows how to get Blaster Master 500. I got everything else in the first few games, but that ONE is taking forever. Thanks for the guide

What's the furthest lvl anyone has got on Xevious? I think mine is 15 or 16 on 2 lives.

The links to compuserve are gone

[jackanape]

The links are gone, but if you google 'Xevious guide' then one of the first few links is a wiki one (or similar) that has pictures of where the secret things are at. That's what I used when I was playing this game last week, hope it helps you out.
