jesus this one was hard for me. so for future reference: dont fire ANY weapon or use melee the entire time you're in the base, even if it doesnt kill anything. that invalidates the achievement, which i didnt understand bc i didnt know that you dont have to kill the fighter ship that blasts rockets at you. you have to just go straight past it. because of this part in particular, i recommend grinding for the ultra nanotech, you'll definitely need the extra hit points

Maybe change the description to say "...and without using weapons..." I thought it meant I could use weapons.

does Taunter count as a weapon or not?

Kysli 13 Sep 2023 16:41

yo guys you cant even use taunter

Ok, I literally don't get how to do this achievement I've looked at all the comments here and I seriously don't get how you're supposed to do this,if anyone could lend help, it would be much appreciated thank you...

Here's how it I got it: go through the level on a revisit, and when you see those guys that shoot beams along the floor, make sure you bait them into taking out all the little robots that they can reach. I found that you can use the taunter without invalidating the achievement, but it's not actually that useful since it makes those guys come up and try to hit you, rather than using their guns.

Proradii is right that you need to dash past the fighter ship, and you will probably take a few hits from that, so the ultra nanotech is indeed useful to have. And if you have the blarg enemies take out a lot of the little robots on the way, then when you get to the big room full of enemies, that should finish the achievement for you pretty quickly!

I actually found it very easy for the following:

On Revisit absolutely way easier.

First go directly to the Hangar with the first AirShip and take that out with Devastator. Don't worry if those soldiers kill some creatures cause there's really plenty, i got in excess of 20 aswell. Remember that you can use the jetpack boost to destroy Health boxes without using weapons. Now Equip the swingshot gadget and don't use the wrench.

Now go back to the first green soldier, and take out the red creatures with his attack, remember also the creatures past the first soldier can be killed by him if you bring them close to the platform and then you go up and make him shoot that way.

Then after this section skip the next two green soldiers on the left down part, you won't get much kills with them. Go past the hangar where you killed the airship.

Now use the green soldier in here to destroy as many creatures then move on. Pass towards the 3 green soldiers in the same room that you find when you move on, you can kill one but no point in doing this, you might get more hit than it's worth.

The next green soldier has one green barrel behind him, go on the top left corner, he will shoot that barrel and suicide. As soon as you see the explosion jump to avoid his attack.

After the Turrets section, use the 2 green soldiers to kill as many creatures and then move on.

Once you reach the last room where you use the magnet boots and then get upside down. You have an entire room where you can farm even 15 creatures and also some soldiers. Even if the creatures spawn infinitely, you won't get a count for all them. So just make sure you arrive at this room with 12-15 creatures and it's done.

just got this. the Taunter IS allowed and you can use it to break open nanotech boxes. but strangely, you cannot swing your wrench at all, not even on crates.

I can’t seem to get this one working. I’ve managed to kill the 6 first “space birds” that surrounds the first green soldier. Even the 10 birds that comes next (using the first green soldier again). I then lured 3 birds down to the two soldiers in that small low area to the left. And before arriving to the last big room I must have killed at least 7-10 more enemies. I haven’t used the wrench and I haven’t fired or equipped any other weapon than the Taunter while being on the whole planet. I have stayed alive the whole time and destroyed boxes only with thruster pack. What have I missed or what am I doing wrong?

@RipperRoo

Do you have the Rich Presence counter to show you exactly which enemy counts?

That i remember, the last room is not really accurate, not every enemy there counts as they would spawn almost infinitely.

If you have the counter from Rich Presence active, you will surely know which enemy killed counted and which not.

An advice, don't worry about the lower area on the bottom left, it's messy and doesn't give many counts, you can just move along for better areas, there's plenty you will make.

I left some tips in my comment above, if you reach the last area with 12-15 creatures, you should be golden.

RipperRoo 28 Jul 2024 08:49

Thanks for responding @CarloAndrea97 !
I have the Rich Presence setting active in Aethersx2, but no counter.

CarloAndrea97 28 Jul 2024 13:13

Mh strange, I m sure on pcsx2 it worked, if it is not available on aethersx2 or not working is very strange.

I would still advice you to count 15 creatures kill before the last room with all the spawns, and there keep going until it pops.

Otherwise maybe if you can transfer the saves from it to pcsx2 and using the counter, it would help a lot your challenge.

The only thing that comes to my mind is that if you only killed 10 in the last room it must not be enough usually.

I d say do it again but keep going in the last room until it pops, the little creatures do not count properly, but also try making the green ones kill eachothers.

Good luck and let us know.

RipperRoo 28 Jul 2024 16:44

And now everything worked just fine! Very strange. I did everything the same way as before. Maybe it helped that I restarted the game. Thank you anyways for the help!

Easily the worst achievement of the whole set, didn't enjoy doing this at all

Adamontheweb 30 Sep 2024 15:28

My tips: use the visibomb to take out ship in hanger that shoots missiles at you right as you land. After that just run up to the flame floor shooting guys and play jump rope with their shots killing the red dragons. Ez pz

using the swingshot resets the achievement

Blue03 11 Jan 2025 00:25

Isn't stated, but Power Slams cancel out this achievement.
