"The Tower of the Elder Gods" - The Challenge Tower Q&A + Tips/walkthrough thread

Nitpicking maybe but you should change the description of the prize link to the words “click here for spoiler” cuz you can’t miss it while scrolling through the thread.

Finished it today, last one is a bitch tho. Someone said you dont get anything but this is false.

Ah, of course. i wasn’t thinking. Might be a little late for it but I’ll change it now anyway.

Do Liu Kang’s enhanced bicycle kick. It will work.

Yeh i did jump 1, 1, 2, < 1 bic kick

what was said is that you don’t get anything extra for beating it without skipping

lol sorry about that. This game is forcing me not to read anything anymore.

Oh man…I seriously think it’s going to be a 1 in a million chance to do End Game without losing health (or using hacks/tools), the developers actually backed up their challenge on this one. And whoever does it will use probably use Ermac because it’s easy to beat End Game with him I find, just that Mileena is an annoying little squirrel who will hit you no matter what :mad:

Yes, beating Mileena flawlessly will be tough on top of beating the other 3 flawlessly.

btw, on mission 275 (Army of What? - the 3 Goro fight) so if all goes well tomorrow I’ll get back on updating the 1st posts to 200+ tomorrow, and get to 300 the day after. Reminder to everyone, if there’s any more effective strategies that you may have for any of the missions, or something extra I may have missed (like I almost missed that extra bit in mission 59), feel free to tell me and I will put it up there.

Challenge Tower irks my nerves man…AI is really gay, just reads your button inputs and reacts to it.

that’s why you gotta be cheap, for most of the challenges i just spammed one move that worked 80-90 % of the time…like mission 299 lol stomp stomp stomp

Anyone know if its true that if you lose enough times, the AI resets back to easy difficulty? If so, I have a gameplan lol. Turbo button on x then play after the 20th lost

That’s the first I’ve heard of that, don’t know how you could confirm that without looking into the code though.

I think im going to give up the challenge tower, I just dont have the nerves for it. I can take repeated beating by a human player but theres just something about playing a cheesy AI.

Oh well, if you must. After unlocking everything in the krypt (or just the alternates+fatalities+kombat Kodes) use the excess money to skip the challenges. If you skip #300 you still get the final reward I hear.

Don’t give up on it… You finally have a VS. game with something other then just repeatedly doing pointless combos and you are going to piss it away because the AI is somewhat lame!?? Haha it’s fun Just cheese through the annoying ones. Jumping punch + Uppercut beats over half of them trust me. Plus i gotta admit Challege 300 was hard as shit and fun :smiley: or atleast hard for me.

im also finding out that its no good to play challenges in long sets. like i can only do 10-15 in a row before i get annoyed

This. I might bang my head against a challenge for 20 minutes, but if I take a break I usually beat it first try afterwards.

And sorry OP, but I don’t think you reserved enough space :smiley: Good guide though, especially that unlimited koin bonus trick.

I think people should focus on learning AI patterns and conditioning to make this mode a ton more easier.

That is a great idea. As far as that goes, I know bosses can’t handle cross-over jumps well, so if you reach a challenge with a boss you should try using that often. Characters without anti-airs may fall for this as well, but not as often.

Yeah, don’t think the space is enough but I have a plan for that: After using up the first 3 posts I’ll just go down to the next post of mine and edit that with the next group of missions and keep doing that, at the end of each of those sections I’ll just throw a link to the next post with missions.
Also, Thanks!

my bad, was on my iphone so could reading the thread was a biatch.

If have the fourth post, If you aint got enough room you can pm me the part of the guide needed there and ill edit it and give you props, if you rather dont no worries.

edit; maybe the thirth poster can do the same thing?

If you can do that, that would be great, keep it from being disjointed and all that.

EDIT: PowerUp is starting soon so after that I’ll get on working on the next part. Should be done before the day ends as long as PowerUp doesn’t take too long.
