Anyone know how to get the spiral knight achievement ._O?

I don't know what to press / do / go to. Also it crashes after 1-5 seconds after it has loaded .

It's really easy. Just go into the Lockdown mode in the game. It is a capture and hold type game. Just grab some snowballs and hit someone with it. I forget if you start the game with currency. You need 200 currency to enter lock down mode.

The only problem is I unlocked the Spiral Knights chieve, yet I didn't get a gift. I think it might be borked at the moment.

 

[Coop]

How long will it take to get the Psychonauts achievements?

I think you need to get to level ten in order to get pyro. Not sure an hour or two?

I used a save file from the steam forums since I was near the end of the game. Birds apparently only come out during the day. The other one is easy since you can just buy something cheap at the store. Just change your clock. Can get that in thirty minutes. Depends on how long it takes you to beat the tutorial

Thanks anyway mate but I had to uninstall it... I finally snapped back to consciousness after the 9th crash and asked myself " wtf are you doing? "

You have to do a Lockdown PvP match. Just click the crossed swords button at the top right of the screen and enter yourself into a Lockdown queue. Then just find a snowball and throw it at an opponent once the match starts.

Keep in mind, Steam is bugged with the achievement at the moment and you may not get credit for it.

Thanks, I got Atom Zombie Smasher stuff!

Wait, what Atom Zombie stuff? I don't see anything about that? Is it for some future day?

 

[Derrick01]

Yeah spiral knights seems to be bugged. Me and a friend just got the achievement and it hasn't unlocked yet.

 

[Shanadeus]

Same here.

 

[Gamejunky]

Different Problem with the spirial knights achieve, it isn't popping at all after hitting multiple people with snowballs, any idea what could be the problem?

 

[Mrbob]

I don't think it is only Spiral Knights related. Looking up on the DoD chieve and people are complaining a gift isn't unlocking for that game either. Guessing it is a Steam problem.

Might be lag and you aren't hitting them. They turn into a giant snowman once you hit them.

I dont think its the game, i got the dredmore achievement and it hasnt unlocked either.

 

[Digishine]

Same here.

[Scythian]

Huh, the Dungeons of Dredmore one hasn't been recognized by The Great Gift Pile.

 

[Nymerio]

Is the Dungeons of Dreadmor achievement bugged? I have the achievement but didn't actually get a gift

They were definitely turning into a snowman

 

[Nabs]

Check the Gift Pile page again. My stuff showed up.

 

[Stumpokapow]

If you have your achievement, you will get the gift. The problem is clearly with the Gift Pile / inventory pages, not the game. The important thing is that you have the achievement unlocked.

 

[Mrbob]

My gift for Spiral Knights unlocked. Another piece of coal woo!

 

[Starwolf_UK]

RUSH just updated. Could that mean the achievement...

The AI war one is bloody insane. Even veterans of the game don't see a quick way to do it. Maybe cheese it with a save.

Wait, what Atom Zombie stuff? I don't see anything about that? Is it for some future day?

He means the achievement for a future day.

 

[Syril]

Do you need to play Spiral Knights with your Steam account for that achievement or just run it through Steam?

 

[Nabs]

Steam account. You can link your old SK accounts with it.

 

[Tempy]

Spiral Knights achievement isn't popping up despite turning several people into snowmen.

 

[Baha]

For those of you having trouble unlocking the Spiral Knights achievement, make sure you are on the US servers when you attempt this. It doesn't unlock outside of the US servers.

 

[Chris R]

What is an easy way to get crowns in Spiral Knights? Looks like you need 200 to enter a match for the achievement?

 

[Mrbob]

Go down the elevator and do some missions in the game, you'll get crowns and items you can sell for more.

There is an easy way to do the Pyschonauts chieve.

First, grab the save file here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?73rlq7b1h57ub8b

Next, unzip the save file here:

Steam\steamapps\common\psychonauts\Profiles


You will have have to start a new game of pyschonauts to create the Profiles folder. After the profiles folder is created, delete the Profile 1 folder you created with the downloaded profile 1 folder. Then load up the game and continue.

Use psychokinesis to set a squirrel and bird on fire. Once they burn up they'll drop food. Just need to collect one of each for the chieve.

After waiting a while it seems like the achievement unlocked for me.

Argg, I got 100% earlier this year on Costume Quest and uninstalled it but now because of the christmas achievement it has dropped down to 95%. Now I feel compelled to reinstall it. And I have to remember to play it on Christmas day to get the achievement or suffer the lack forever. F O R E V E R

Thats evil that is

Or maybe a future Christmas day will work...

Anyone knows how to get the AI War achievement easily/fast?

You could just change your computer's date. Set it to December 25th and play it right now. It should work.

 

[SmithnCo]

The Dungeons of Dredmor achievement is pretty easy. You can play on easy mode and select alchemy as one of your perks, then just look around for the diggle egg and grog to craft diggle nog, along with an aqua vitae which you should already have. If you get lucky you can find vending machines with the grog and egg as well.

Use the Port-O-Still and scroll down to see the diggle nog recipe and to craft it.

Yeah. This one will only work if you have all three expansions, but if you do you can cheese with this save (found in this SPUF topic).

Make a profile called "C4SC4", activate it, load the save, and wait a few minutes, even well past 30,000 ships killed. Check "Military" under Stats for the death count, and you can speed the game up to +10 with the '+' key.

There's supposed to be a way to get the save recognized using the "manage players" option under the escape menu, too.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Anyone knows how to get the AI War achievement easily/fast?

Check over the steam message board. C4SC4 made a save. Download it; load it. Change player name to your profile (I think it has to be the same as your steam name; at least it wasn't recording for me until the cases were the same) and wait a little bit.

 

[C.T.]

OT but someone has problems with dungeon defenders? it crashes all the time after the latest update. I checked chache integrity and it found something and redownloaded but it still happens.

friend invite sent, lets do this.

Cave Story+ patch is live, looks like it makes the achievement active. Need to change your computer system date to dec 25th though. Will report back soon with results.

[EDIT] Yep! Just launch the game when your computer clock is set to Dec. 25th and it'll unlock.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Guess this thread is good for it. Presents: from my personal experience I would say it is:
25% game
50% junk coupon
25% coal

Of course I could be the lucky ~1% who got the coal a lot less than normally happens. Maybe if we pool stats we could see a bigger picture.

 

[spindoctor]

I don't think this will work. I tried playing the game with the system date set to both the 24th and 25th and I didn't get it.

 

[shintoki]

Quick Hint for the Atom Zombie Smasher.

-Don't slow down the game, Turn it up.
-Let a large amount of civilians die in round 1 and 2. Really let the zombies clear out 2/3 of it. You have the most time then to build up on KingleBombs too.

I think you have 75% chance to get coal or something like that. I had 100% coal from 4 achievements until today when I got my first coupon.

Tried that. Didn't work for me :/

It worked for me in Cave Story+, but not in Costume Quest. Weird.

 

[PuppetSlave]

lol, Double fine probably did not want anyone to cheat so they even made sure to ask the steam server for the date instead of simply checking the system clock. I can respect that.

The Steam global achievement stats for the game show that 0.1% of players have already obtained it, so it seems that it can be done. Which makes me wonder why it's not working for me.

 

[angular graphics]

Does anyone know how to do the Shogun 2 achievement? I don't have the time to learn how to properly play the game (I was gifted the game a while ago, didn't buy it).

I use the save from the wiki but I don't know what to actually do once I load it. I tried selecting "end turn" and then "auto-resolve" for the battle and I win.. but I don't get any achievement. Was I even supposed to select those two things? I have no clue!

If someone figures it out, please help me

Playing in offline mode?

 

[Meatpuppet]

Cant get mine to show up. Have tried the backpack thing too to no avail. Sadtimes :/

 

[spindoctor]

I don't think Steam achievements can be obtained in offline mode or when you aren't connected to the Steam network. I could be wrong though.
