Absolutely! It was a massive team effort to get these all up and running.

Damn Youtube ate my Zella Adv guide...after someone rated it too! Odd...oh well uploading again...disappointing as that was one of the last ones some needed.

ApochWeiss · 03-21-2009, 08:05 AM

Hey, just wanted to say thank you very much for your help with W2 and W3. I JUST completed all the runs and got 200/200. I really appreciate the help from you and EVERYONE who contributed.

Also, OUTINTHEDARK, I JUST used the Zella advanced guide. You must have just loaded it again when I went there for it haha. That or it's not gone and you overlooked it or something.

Were you the one who rated it? It was viewed some 40 times with 1 rating and then blam Youtube eats it...!

Outinthedark · 03-21-2009, 08:46 AM

Ok Zella Adv video now working. Had to re-record it and re-upload it thanks to Youtube just eating it for no apparent reason!

Going to add the text/map guide links.

I hope this is much easier to read and follow. Uploading 10 videos is a pain with only a 1GB memory card!

Outinthedark · 03-21-2009, 05:19 PM

Ok I think I have everything set correctly. If anyone or anything was overlooked please pm me!

TwistedEuclid · 03-21-2009, 10:14 PM

Fantastic guide - thanks so much!

sweenish182 · 03-22-2009, 07:00 AM

great job

i've figured a few out myself (got to get the enjoyment out of it), but this will definitely come in handy when i'm trying to maximize my scores

T0b3 · 03-22-2009, 06:34 PM

REQUESTING STICKY

Thanks again for all the videos. Much appreciated!

Darkgorgos · 03-22-2009, 11:06 PM

To the people who made this guide possible, I bow at your feet in gratitude. This game is so much fun, but can some times be so damn confusing. >_<

sweenish182 · 03-23-2009, 09:48 AM

these videos probably make this the easiest 200.

i appreciate the slight pause before moving to the next wave, it helped double check my units before actually starting the waves.

w-3 was crazy. i loathe wave 28, those flying, magic resistant, health regenerating douchebags.

I took your crit from my first 3 videos and it seemed to work out better for everyone. Still doesn't help when I did that occasional mid wave upgrade blah...wish I had a list of all of them so I would play that wave out!

Wave 28 was a bitch...so hard figuring out what I needed to do to pass successfully.

sweenish182 · 03-23-2009, 10:02 PM

i know zelea advanced has one. you do it during the quick moving wolves near the beginning where you level the thief to 2. but that upgrade can be done at the beginning of the wave instead of during.

LanceX · 03-23-2009, 11:59 PM

on your kthili sands ADV I was able to have 800 more gold at the end(by accident) by putting your first archer TWO bumps up from where you landed and made the top most Yellow crystal a Large Later. No Idea how that worked but i ended with 12803 score and 3900~ gold

All of these runs are not my leaderboard runs. You can easily change things around and end up scoring tons more.

Someone mentioned in one of the videos if you didn't upgrade a few things you could have saved 1500+ gil and end up scoring about 3k more than my initial run.

Chaosflare · 03-25-2009, 06:51 PM

I don't think the words "I love you" would suffice, so I will leave you with a small nod of appreciation.

Sakura4600 · 03-26-2009, 07:27 PM

thank you soooo much for the videos!! just got the last 2 achievements tht i needed!! =D

Greg0fTheDead · 03-26-2009, 11:52 PM

this is incredible work, major props to all those that contributed

Ted de Braak · 03-27-2009, 03:56 PM

A big thank you for W3 - Ruins of Delgantua Adv. That one was driving me nuts.

Charlie121 · 03-28-2009, 12:44 AM

Wow you guys made a great guide! My 360 got the E 74 error and is being repaired so I will get to these maps as soon as I get it back.

SideDish120 · 03-28-2009, 04:01 PM

Great stuff. Will really help out.

BigApple3AM · 03-28-2009, 06:42 PM

excellent guide!

Omega Supreme · 03-29-2009, 10:29 AM

How do the strategist achievements work? Do you have to score like 50k in W1 or is everything counted? I've already scored more then 100k of W1-W3 but still no achievement. Or does it only count the highscores?

Each level's highest score counts towards the achievement Omega. So you have to get 10,000 points on 10 levels. If you are following the video guides you will most likely get this in W2 either level 9 or 10 depending on your final scores.

Omega Supreme · 03-29-2009, 01:10 PM

I wasnt using the guide yet. But you must be correct.

AlmightyBronco · 03-30-2009, 03:38 AM

ive done the first few maps with the help of the videos n theyare great. i just wana emphasise how helpful the pauses between waves were, i found it hard to keep up with the w2 vids. thanks again fellas

Wrath669 · 03-30-2009, 07:41 AM

I cannot keep up with the W2 vids. And when I download the files they are txt files and all screwed up when I open them.

Anyone wanna post wave by wave details for the last 2 W2 maps?

Outinthedark · 03-30-2009, 01:26 PM

What are you using to open the text files. All of them work as I used them personally.

Use NotePad and turn off the word wrap. I did not have any problems.
