There should be a ball swinging on a chain.
Here's a video, skip to 4:11 to see level 14. You can see the swinging ball and chain.

It is immediately after that, you see him jump up a few steps - on the first step, crouch and face the top step and attack it. A door should open up on the other side of the steps. (The guy in the video doesn't do this, but I thought it'd help recognise where it is).

I think the ball and chain can be destroyed, so the only thing I can think of as to why you missed it is if you jumped and fired a projectile that destroyed it before it came onscreen?

Hope this helps!

This guide has helped me immensely. I only have the Westside point accumulation challenge and completing Magic Sword in co-op. Thanks for the tips, everyone. Because of you guys, this has been the easiest arcade game to 100%. Well, aside from Dash of Destruction. :P

I would like to say that "Haggar-ed" is glitched, for me at least. I beat the entire game with Haggar, watched the credits and never switched characters between continues (I didn't even alter the character choice; I just kept hitting Start to get back to the game).

I just went through and beat the game with Guy and got his achievement.

Has anyone had an issue like this?

I experienced no issues with any of the achievements.

Great guide and good feedback from the gamers.

A trick that worked for me on the Final Fight time challenges is to join in with a second player when you are fighting the boss and then just have the second player get repeatedly killed by the boss. Every time the second player gets killed and respawns, it does damage to the boss, which helps beat them a bit quicker.

Note, that if you start the next stage with a dummy second player, waiting for him to get killed will cost you time, so maybe manually save you game (NOT autosave) and reload the stage you were just on as one player.

love your guide

Here's a tip for the time challenges.
If you're playing in co-op, have both players on each side of the boss, if you both start punch him at around the same time, you will get stuck in a infinite punching loop. Killing the boss without allowing him to get away. This saves a ton of time, since the boss can't run away.

It's not really that time consuming at all. If you follow the guide and plan ahead, you can do all the locksmith requirements within (if I remember rightly) 2 full playthroughs of Magic Sword, and 3 full playthroughs of Final Fight. A lot of the requirements just unlock for playing in general - times and scores for example aren't that hard to beat.

I really wouldn't let Locksmith put you off what is a great game, and to be honest, a really easy 200GS.

I had exactly same problem as you had. I was using Guy character from the start to finish and beat the game and it did not give me an achievement. No idea why. I never switch any characters except using Guy the whole time. I guess I will have to try it again.

Were you playing multiplayer? If you were, try doing it in single player to make sure it registers you playing from start to finish.

Yeah, I was. I was the host and my friend joined me right before the game started. It did not give me an achievement for a specific character achievement. Neither did he then I decided to play the same character, Guy on a single player myself. I went continue to beat him then as soon as level 2 started, achievement unlocked. Thanks, Wiggly.

Magic Sword

I have another question. Do you have to start level 1 to 50 while doing warps? Because I am working on get these secret levels and warps. It did not give me a tile unlock when I warped there and into a secret level but maybe I am not doing it right.

EDIT: You should note this in this guide of your. After you recieved your last warp of all secret doors, it will give you "Find secret warp set 1" and "Find and activate all warps" tiles. Don't want to put anyone confusing in this because it seems like that "Find secret warp set 1" tile will not unlock until you enter all warp doors.

Another note, it doesn't matter where you start on any levels as long as you beat Magic Sword first then after that, you can able to jump any levels to get secret warp doors.

I feel that it is necessary to let anyone know about this but it is entirely up to you as it is your own guide that you written. Btw, you have an excellent guide. It is doable to get all tiles in the vault as long as you learn through these 2 games and how to play these games. It's put the test in your patience especially Magic Sword because of 50 levels and a lot of dying. lol.

Can someone explain this a more precisely or provide a video to see "how to do it"?

Whatever I try to do it, no door is unlocked o_O

The description I put in the guide is this:
Floor 14 - After the first swinging ball on a chain, jump up one step and crouch and slash the top step. The door will appear on the other side of the steps. Warps to level 19.

I think that's fairly self-explanatory, but just incase you're still having trouble I've done a quick picture guide for you. You'll notice that the swniging ball on the chain is on the left of the screen - this is the first one you come to. Crouch right in the corner up against the top step and slash towards that step. The door should appear!

[davhuit]

Okay, found it, thanks a lot! (it was the only thing I was missing to get the last achievement).

I wasn't slashing at the good spot ^^;

Haha, no worries, glad I helped!

Nice guide, will put it to use when I get to Magic Sword.

I was wondering at first why I didnt get Locksmith after completing FF vault but upon further reading, derrr need both vaults.. Glad you included that part in the guide
