Achievement Guide & Road Map

I messed around with this a few times, and after a couple tries with the recommended track, I found that I didn't need to "just" beat my own score - I actually had to succeed at the challenge level above it. Or at least, that's when it unlocked for me.

 

I did Easy Bass and barely got the 20k score, but then I did Expert Bass and got the 30k score (or whatever the second one is), and then it unlocked.

 

:whs

 

I definitely agree, and not just towards getting the "Self Improver" achievement - for me, it also applied to the "Champion of Challenges" achievement.

 

As stated by muzykalscorpio: if you don't win "by a whole challenge level difference" over the target, then it looks as if these achievements won't pop.

 

---

Quick method for anyone having trouble with this:

 

For the 2112: Part 4 song that's been discussed, first play the star challenge for high individual score on easy bass --- and score just over 20,000 points. This gets you the first challenge level (gold) star.

 

Then, challenge yourself and score 30,000 points on a higher difficulty. This gets you the second challenge level (silver I guess?) star. "Self Improver" will pop.

 

Then, just play the song again. This time, challenge someone else who scored more than 20,000 but less than 30,000 points, and again score more than 30,000 points. "Champion of Challenges" is yours. :)

Diamond master. I don't really understand this one.

I have, on multiple occasions, completed Nickelback on expert bass. Not a very hard song so you can easily get the high-score and up-strum diamond medals.

I still don't have that achievement though!

 

It must be said that when I was actually awarded the medals, I first got up-strum and later, when I practised the song a bit, got the high-score. So I guess that the awarding of the medals is key to getting the achievement.

 

Which is VERY annoying, because it means you can't really practice songs. You run the risk of getting one medal before you get the second.

 

Anyone else find info on this one?

 

Hey Wulf,

 

I got 2 diamonds on "Linkin Park - Bleed it Out" yesterday - but no achievement either... hmm - it seems to be glitched - or maybe I'm missing something here... You still didn't get it, Wulf ?

Just as a note, I think "Seasoned Competitor" has to be in one go. I played all but Momentum+ yesterday online. Played it locally today, and didn't get the achievement. It was only until I went through the other 5 locally that the achievement unlocked.

 

EDIT: Also, I think it's required to do it locally. Because Momentum+ isn't listed in "Rockfest".

Play 100 notes in a single GHJam session

 

This is another easy achievement to gain. Simply go to create>GHTunes from the main menu and then select GHJam. From here select your instrument and when the highway is on screen strum or hit until the achievement unlocks.

 

I can't get this one. I've played a few different songs on bass and guitar in a GHJam session and can't fet this one to pop. I'm hitting at least 100 notes everytime. Any ideas?

 

EDIT: Ok, I got it now. I was selecting a pre made song instead of choosing to create a new song

Thanks for the great guide so far and the uploaded tunes. Helped me a lot.

As a Standard Band, earn Gold or higher on 2 Band Challenges in a single play of a song (QP+)

 

This one is very easy alone. Once again with 'No sleep till brooklyn' (GH:WT import). Please excuse if somebody already found a better way:

 

1: Expert vocals played by a fan (my foot on the green button to activate SP:))

2: I was playing medium guitar (FC). Maybe easy guitar works, too.

3: Simply activated SP at the band moments if possible. I think I've got the achievement for standard band score and 5x muliplier time. But I'm not 100% sure. I've already had better stars from previous runs.

As a single player, earn Gold or higher on three or more Challenges on a single play of a song (QP+)

 

I thought I'd post a solution to this since it's not currently on the guide.

I was on Quickplay+ on Medium just for a nice easy run before going out.

I chose to play Nickelbacks "How You Remind Me" since I'm a Nickel fan and if you down strum every note (not sure if this is needed for one of the challenges but it's how I play anyway) and hit every note too you will get this achievement.

 

This was as a guitarist not as a bassist by the way.

 

Hope this helps :)

Confused me too. I think guide the description should be changed to indicate you need to choose "Create New Song" from the GH Jam menu (it's at the top).

 

Otherwise, a great guide :)

Hit a cumulative total of 150,000 notes (Quest)

 

If in need of more notes after dominating all chapters I'd suggest 'Fury of the storm' on expert bass. For the most parts it's just alternate strumming like mad. Its hard NOT to hit roughly 2000 notes per run. I think with all the powers it should be possible to survive even for players that normally play on medium.

Another tip and IIRC; one phrase on Vocals equals 10 "regular" notes. Atleast according to the ingame Note tracker. I checked what I had before I started a song, then FC'd Self Esteem on Vocals Beginner which is 68 Phrases.

Then I got back to the tracker and I had 680 more notes.

That song is probably the fastest way if you wanna use the fan trick as Aqualong/lung (can't spell it), is like 8 minutes and other songs as well.

Nice to know about the vocals counting 10x the notes. But 'Self esteem' is 4.20 long. 'Fury...' takes 6.46. So roughly 1/3 longer for up to 3 times the notes.

 

On the other hand we won't have to play using the fan and might simply enjoy the music :)

Simple song for the 1 million point achievement is American Pie, if you've imported band hero. With SP nova and extended multiplier I got around 2 million on an expert fc, could probably be done on hard...there's a good amount of room for error for people who aren't great at playing expert.

I've already 1000 G'd this, but I've got a separate profile (Silver, no Gold Account).

The only Online Achievement seems to be the:

 

"Tracker of Deeds 10G"

 

You aren't really playing do get that one, but will it work with a Silver Account?

 

I've only got a Silver account, and I did get this achievement. So yes, it will work.

I think there's an easier way to get the Mythical Millionaire than what you have listed. I'm not very good at hard.. and horrible at Expert.. but I kept trying Mercyful fate by Metallica someone said they got it on Medium.. I could only get 964,000 or so... but I got to thinking.. the Powers you choose make a difference.. instead Of SP Nova and Extender.. use Nova and AMPLIFIER.. What good is 36x in only short bursts when you can have 24x a lot more often. I got over 1.4 mil on Mercyful Fate after switching the powers from what was suggested. ALthough I used a Metallica Song thats an import it should still work on any song thats long with a lot of notes.

 

Maybe you should change the Powers that you suggest in the guide to these two instead of SP Nova and Multiplier Extender

 

(I had to edit this because I realize I had the Power name wrong.. It's Nova and Amplifer)

I will look into the changing of the powers used but I will not (underlined and bolded because people keep doing this) include paid for DLC or Imports as these are not available to everyone. I only try to include on disc songs and will include free DLC if needs be.
