Road-Map

Babel rising is a great little tower-defence style game where you are a God trying to stop the Babylonians from building a tower up to the heavens. It also happens to have achievements you can pick up relatively easily! There are 3 game modes; Survival, Campaign and Multiplayer. 10 of the achievements are obtained in Survival/Campaign, and there are 2 set aside for Multiplayer.

Single-Player

There are a total of 15 missions in the campaign, 5 for each tower. See the 'Babel Falling' achievement for more detail on the campaign. As you go through it, you will find yourself getting quite a few of the other achievements out of the way. I only had three other achievements to get after finishing the campaign, and they are quite easy to get out of the way with the clean-up mode, Survival!

 

This mode is basically used to finish off the last achievements you missed, which will probably include 'Full House' and 'Survivor'. The first you'll get without much effort, Surivor can actually be a bit of a pain to do. See the guide if you want some help!

 

Multiplayer

The 2 achievements here are quite easy. They can only be done in local split-screen play. 'Break the Ice' is quite easily done by yourself, but with 'Cruel God' make sure you do it in a single session by hittign restart at the end of the game, as leaving to the menus will reset the tally! These can be over and done with in 20 minutes

 

Conclusion

This game will only take you around 4-5 hours to gain all the achievements, and is actually quite a fun little game to play.

 

Achievement Guide

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/-suEMw==.jpgFalling Stone - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Crushed 20 workers with one giant boulder (Campaign/Survival).

 

This is the Earth Ultimate Power. In order to use ultimate powers, you first need to gather enough fury by hitting the workers with your therespective power. When the Ultimate Power is activated bypulling either the left or right trigger, you can boost its power further by spamming the trigger that you used to trigger it. Easiest done on the first tower, just wait until there are quite a few workers on the path and unleash this power at the top!

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/-yt8oA==.jpgGreat Balls of Fire - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroyed a section of the tower with a meteor shower (Campaign/Survival).

 

This is the Fire Ultimate Power (See 'Falling Stone' for power guide). Once you have charged this power, find the part of the tower they are working on and aim for the scaffolding around it. The better charged the skill is, the more devastating it will be!

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/-Axorg==.jpgHoly Wave - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Use a tidal wave that spares cursed jar bearers (Campaign/Survival).

 

This is the Water Ultimate Power (See 'Falling Stone' for power guide). This one has a little bit of luck to do with it. You need to first let the workers build the tower up a few levels. Upon doing so, continue to play like normal until you have a few Cursed Jars on the tower and a fully charged Tidal wave. Let them get up past where the Tidal wave ability gets, then use it (Without charging it up, otherwise it will rise!). Hopefuly doing so will not kill any other Jars that either just spawned or you just didn't know about!

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/-eyQPQ==.jpgBlown Away - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Send a worker flying 50 meters away in a sand storm (Campaign/Survival).

 

This is the Air Ultimate Power (See 'Falling Stone' for power guide). Once you have a charged Sandstorm, aim for a higher part of the tower. When you then use it, make sure you charge it as much as possible (Closer to 100% the better) and the achievement should pop straight away.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/-lJ9-A==.jpgFull House - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Kill a total of 10000 workers (Campaign/Survival).

 

After finishing the campaign, and finishing off the rest of the achievements, you will probably already have this achievement. Many players actually get this before even finishing the campaign. If you don't, then just load up the Survival scenario you'll enjoy and play away! The achievement pops the instant you kill your 10,000th worker.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/+-CWBQ==.jpgApocalypse - 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Master the combo system (Campaign/Survival).

 

You will get this achievement playing through the campaign. To increase your combo, alternate the way you kill the workers with your powers. As you keep volleying it up, you will net yourself this one!

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/-HN0SQ==.jpgDeity - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Kill 50 workers in a single game (Campaign/Survival).

 

As the first mission requires you to kill 75 workers, simply complete it to net yourself this.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/-ZOM2g==.jpgBabel Falling - 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Defeat Nabu's ambition (Campaign).

 

If you have had experience with tower-defence style games, then this campaign will probably be no problem for you. If this is your first, then don't worry if you struggle at times, as the game is very good at overwhelming you!

 

All of the challenges given pretty much just require you to play the game like normal. If you were to never read them and play, you will easily pass them all. The only challenge I will give advice for are the Points challenges. Make sure when you're doing them that you focus on getting high multiplyers by swapping attacks over and over. I managed to get a 25 multiplyer at one point, it is a huge help towards your goal!

 

Here are the missions, in order;

 

Tower - Great Ziggurat

I - Foundations - Kill 75 Workers

II - Fire And Brimstone - Withstand 20 Waves of Workers

III - False Prophets - Defeat 40 Priests

IV - Deluge - Resist for 8 Minutes

V - Wind of Change - Kill 450 Workers

 

Tower - Tower of Babel

VI - A New Beginning - Fight Off The Workers for 9 Minutes

VII - Cursed Path - Spare 25 Cursed Jars

VIII - Rosary of Souls - Score 100,000 Points

IX - Sea Legs - Destroy 72 Ships

X - Under Siege - Destroy 30 Construction Towers

 

Tower - Hanging Gardens

XI - Divine Gardens - Kill 450 Workers

XII - Accursed Priests - Withstand 42 Waves of Workers

XIII - Babel Towers - Destroy 5 Construction Towers, Then 25 Priests

XIV - Soul Collector - Score 500,000 Points

XV - Last Stand - Resist for 20 Minutes

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/+DFnIw==.jpgCruel God - 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Pressure your opponent in a multiplayer versus match (Multiplayer).

To obtain this achievement you need to send 10 maximum difficulty waves to your opponent in a versus match. As the only multiplayer available is local splitscreen, you will have to either do it by yourself with two contollers (Which will simply require you to play a few games) or convince your sibling/spouse/neighbour to help you out to do it in one.

 

First, I will detail a little bit what "difficulty waves" are. To send waves to your partner, you need to perform combos. The higher the combo, the more difficult the wave you will send. After you have finished your combo, you will see a symbol of a worker move over to your partners side of the screen with a multiplyer number next to it. If it says 'x24' next to it, you have sent a maximum wave. The combo you will need to send changes as the game goes on, so there is no set number I can give you. For the powers, use Earth and avoid Water. You can use your own preference for Wind and Fire as they are similar.

 

Now load up the first temple in a competitive match. If you are going up against someone else, you will most likely both naturally get the achievement just by trying to get combos. If you are going up against yourself (Meaning the controller sitting alone next to you), then you will have to do a few games. Don't worry though as it typically only takes 3 matches to complete at a few minutes each.

 

NOTE: If you are doing this with an idle controller, make sure you restart at the end of the game. Do not leave the 'game session' by going back to the menus as it will wipe your current tally. Thank sirbradenwalker for figuring this out!

 

Achievement unlocks as soon as you send the last wave :)

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/+dGfsA==.jpgBreak the Ice - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Finish what your partner begins in a coop game (Multiplayer).

 

In a co-operative game, each player gets 2 elemental skills each to make up the entire 4. The player with Water, needs to then use their Ice ability (The trail one for water) on enemies. The other player then needs to quickly take them all out before they explode. As you only need to do 30 this doesn't take very long, and both players net the achievement.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/5-+Gaec=.jpgCursed - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Show no fear when destroying the cursed jars (Campaign/Survival).

 

You will need to destroy 15 jars in a single game to net this achievement. I personally did it, sadly unintentionally, on the first campaign mission that sends them at you. If you are however better than me at missing them, simply start up a survival game and hit them all as they come. Note that they only come once the temple is built up a little bit.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2167/5-5mkXQ=.jpgSurvivor - 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Stop the construction of the tower when everything seems lost (Campaign/Survival).

 

Survive 5 minutes when the tower is almost complete.

 

Depending on your skill in tower-defence style games, this achievement is actually quite easy. The problem, is stopping at "Almost complete".

 

Load up the first tower on easy difficulty in Survivor. Pick your 2 elements you are the best with, personally I always used Earth and Wind, just make sure you can handle a large amount of humans with whatever technique you use!

 

Now you are ment to let the humans build the tower all the way to the top. There is a little temple that they build on top and from the point that they plant the foundations for the temple, they only need 3 more humans to win! Let them plant the first bit into the temple (It will have 4 little pillars) then from here, simply hold off for 5 minutes! I suggest going for this after finishing the Campaign, or atleast after a bit of experience, as that way you'll know how to best use your skills (Ie, not get run over by cursed jars and priests), and know to watch for their construction building that spawns them half-way (Which should always be quickly dealt with).

 

Just a note for wasting a little bit of time;

When playing Survivor, there are boat waves like in the Campaign (Once you get that far). When a boat wave is up next, the humans stop spawning. Once you have eliminated the final one, the "Press LB" option comes up. Try to pick up on the humans not spawning, as that way, you can let the last one take the minute journey all the way up before you cruelly end his hopeless life. I then let the option to press LB wait 5 seconds before I pressed it (As hey, 5 seconds could be the difference between winning and loosing if you get overrun!). This will grant you a bit of extra time to breath.

 

The achievement pops the instant you hit the 5 minute mark :) Thank Zetenge for finding the best point for stopping the construction!

Great Guide! Excellent work. I'm having trouble getting past mission 12 - survive 42 waves. Any tips?

 

Only able to use Wind and Fire, from memory this one brought me closest to failure than any other.

 

The biggest help in this is using the Ultimate powers, at 100% (In case you don't know how to charge them, spam the trigger you used to cast it immediatly after casting). I would try to primarily focus on one side with the local powers, and the other with the trail ones (That way you could 'focus' on one side, and the other side almost just deals with itself with your occasional input of tornados and fire walls). This way I also used both powers a lot, causing the ultimates to charge up quite evenly.

 

Then when I had ultimate powers, I would cast Wind on one side and forget about it for as long as it lasted. The breather always lets you catch back up, and the Meteor strike (if casted on scaffolding) does a brilliant job of bringing them back a few steps. Most importantly, is never waste an ability on a worker or two up ahead by themselves. Always better to let some through here and there then to cause yourself strife later when a wizard comes through with a whole bunch and you have no powers!

Excellent suggestions. I was able to pass the level with your help. Resist 20 minutes is giving me a headache! I am using Wind and Water. The idea being to slow the enemies down with water and winds super power has the longest duration. What tactic did you use for the final mission, MyPetWorm?

My two favourites were Earth and Wind. I love earths ability to pick out people in the crowd (To avoid cursed jars, and single out priests), and Winds trail and ultimate abilities make it a breeze (Pun not intended xD) to take control again when you start to get over run. Earths boulder ability is also great at taking control of a side, whilst destroying a bit of their path.

 

The problem I found with using water, was when priests for the other ability come along. You only have one deathly ability, and its your slowest recharging one, to take care of them.

the cruel god achievment is just not unlocking for me at all. am i right in saying you jsut need to get a combo to a point where when the person moves to other screen it says x24? or does the combo have to be x24?

 

The former is right. You just need to send "x24" waves to the other side, not x24 combos. How many do you think you have sent? And what mode are you using? (Timed or infinite)

just on vs mode, so who ever survives longest wins. ive definately sent more than 10, prob sent about 30 total . definately doesnt have to be in 1 match?

 

A couple of people told me it didn't have to be in one match, either they didn't notice that they sent 10 in a single match later, or they were lucky/you're unlucky. Do you have someone you could play with to try get it in one match? When I played against my friend we both got it in a match without actually trying, so against a non-gamer you could get it aslong as they have enough controller ability to defend for a couple of minutes :p

I've got the same problem while trying to unlock Cruel God. Tried both the infinite and timed vs mode. In both I got more then 20 maximum waves in total, split over multiple matches (always around 4 per match)

 

I'm seriously thinking this has to be done in one sitting. Hopefully someone will drop by and give the magic tip!

Use a tidal wave that spares cursed jar bearers (Campaign/Survival).

 

It's not good enough if a cursed jar is being carried while your wave is going.

The jar must be already planted while the wave goes by.

 

Also, listen out for the jar carrier's wicked laugh when they spawn at the bottom.

xhunterrrr,

 

The purpose of sparing 25 jars, is to allow them to pass. Don't destroy them. Carefully aim around them.

Jar carriers don't hurt you, other than making you take careful aim. They eventually disappear.

The jars temporarily dismantle whatever power was used to break them.

Kill a total of 10000 workers (Campaign/Survival).

 

Is there a counter for this anywhere in the game?

I don't see one.

 

UPDATE: Counter is not really needed.

I did levels 1-12 and the first survival area for an hour and this unlocked.

Doesn't take very long to accomplish.

Finish what your partner begins in a coop game (Multiplayer).

 

How many do you think we need to kill for this?

It seems to have taken about 25-50 before it unlocked.

Are you sure of this? I haven't had anyone else not get the achievement with simply avoiding Jars being carried.

It is exactly 30.

 

I have updated the guide with little bits of info that I have learnt to better the guide. Also, do you have to post so many posts E vee dub? xD
