Herculean Task Achievement in Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

  • Herculean Task

     

    30

    Beat Arcade mode on the hardest difficulty.

  • How to unlock Herculean Task

    Turn your difficulty to Very Hard after you have picked your lineup and progress through the game. You get unlimited continues so don't worry if you die at any point.

    If you're struggling with beating any rounds, I would suggest picking Iron Man, Magneto and Morrigan and pick her Dark Harmonizer as an assist. Assist with her as much as possible to build up Iron Man's Hyper Combo Gauge and use his Proton Cannon ( + ) as soon as you can.

    Another method is to change your operation mode under options to "Simple" with the default controller settings. Start up the game and choose the following:

    • Team: Taskmaster, Dr. Doom and Iron Man along with their default assists.
    • Time: 30 seconds
    • Damage: Highest

    Now with Taskmaster, just spam  while calling in assists with  or  to help speed up the process. The whole goal is to just damage the CPU enough to win the match by decision. If they close in on you, press  to use your hyper combo and push them back. If they start shooting at you, jump their attack and shoot at them from mid-air. This will get you through the first 6 matches.

    Once you get to Galactus, the timer will automatically re-adjust to 99 seconds. You can just resume the same basic strategy above for the heralds and when Galactus comes in, activate X-Factor and start attacking him with everything you got.

  • Well as long as it doesn't mean beat the arcade mode on the hardest difficulty without using a continue...then this shouldn't be too hard. I'm still worried about the rest of the achievements though.
  • the most worrisome are the online achievements. it's a whole lot of time involved. oh and the completion achievement. that's just llaammee...
  • this achievement is really really really hard
  • I used Magneto, Iron Man & Ryu..took me 3 tries but I got it done!
  • Not hard at all, used Iron Man, Akuma, and Magneto, difficulty very hard, highest damage, 30 second time limit, cake. :)
  • I used Iron Man, Dormammu, and Akuma.. Hard as fuck died lots of times but I did it.. Hint* when you have 3 hyper combo bar use LT and you will do a shit load of damage with your team!! That's how I quickly killed Galactus..
  • OMFG, Galactus is sooo unbelievably cheap. GAAAAA!!
  • I made quite a easy way to achieve this , go give a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knQFKkChpTU
  • I found it easiest with Ryu , Akuma and Sentinel . Basically just use sentinel last to finish them off LOL
  • Galactus is really easy to beat on very hard is you use sentinel to beat the first two guys, then Chris to beat Galactus himself. As sentinel, spam the laser and if they get close just press A for the high kick. As Chris, just X-Factor and flamethrower the hell out of him. Make sure you block his attacks, other wise you'll die fast.
  • very easy im a pro so it does not matter towards me my rank is 1st lord! used Akuma,Ryu,Deadpool
  • I found this one to be easy and got it first time through!! I tried the above tactic with Taskmaster my main member and Hulk and Sentinel my partners. If you have your control set to simple just sit back and spam the Y button, I found the 30secs enough time to defeat all 3 of the opponets. Galactus's clones were also easy dispatched of using the same manner. When you fight Galactus just super jump with taskmaster and attack the head using any hyper combos you get. Then finish him off with Sentinel hyper!! It might not seem skillfull but it nets you the achievement!!
  • @11 my hero with all your muscles and such...not really helping here. im still working on the sentinel-spam...
  • Try using this order exactly: Wolverine, Chris, Akuma. You save all the hyper gauges you get until akuma comes in. But before that spam it up with Wolverine's beserker slash. Then if Chris comes in get to one of the corners and spam with his flamethrower. Even if they block it it still does major damage. And finally when it comes to Akuma. As soon as Akuma comes into play, or as soon as possible, have him enter into X-factor. After entering X-factor just spam up the hyper gauges until everyone is dead. By doing this I got all the way to the 5th round without having to continue. Good luck.
  • #8 thanks dude, used sentinal, felicia, and dormammu. galactis is a beast, but deff do-able!!! cheev done like dinner!
  • An easy way to do it is with deadpool and sentinel. Use deadpool Happy trigger M and keep asking for sentinel help. The other character is the one who you'll defeat galactus with =D
  • As the achievement description does not state without using a continue (thank you mortal kombat), i will assume that this can be obtained even if you die constantly. then again, we all know what happens when one assumes too much......
