I think they should remain secret, but here's a pro tip: They all involve fake walls, so just hug all the walls and you'll find them!

Indeed, that was all the push I needed. Mazeltov!

I was so happy when I got the 27th gem. It made the game so much easier to navigate. And I didn't find any of the secret areas either :(.

My, you're so polite. Stop being lazy and use the hint to find them. It took me all of 5 minutes to find all 3 after getting this hint, it's not like it's hard.

I've found a spot in the top left room which I can't get to because I cant jump high enough, and I've found a spot in the bottom centre room which I can't get to because there's no access to it. I haven't found anything at all along the right. I may have to wait for the walkthrough to get the hidden areas with this one.

That's not where one is. I lost a good 30 minutes trying that out.

Glad to help. Anyone who has gotten them knows that there's still a lot of the puzzle to be solved even with the information provided. Especially for the left side one.

These puzzles make me miss searching for the Sun Stones in Dragon Warrior. similar "off-the-map" tricks.

thanks nosesocks, you're the best!

unrelated: I'm going to be out of the country and after that flying all around the U.S. for the next month or so, so I expect to be toppled from the top soon - if not by this weekend.

I'm not sure if I'll care enough to try and reclimb the ladder, but you never know. It took Wylo half a year, but he's finally positioned to take back his throne after his trip to china or wherever it was he went.

In other words, I have that much more of a chance of breaking the top 10!
Seriously, enjoy your trips. Real life exploration blows away video games any day.

Yeah this one is near impossible.Ive tried the switches and everything and I havent figured it out.
I even took that little path in the corner.

It is a hard one indeed. Check the surrounding maps and you'll notice something that isn't quite right.

I don't see why we should hate him for helping out.
You gotta understand that anything that isn't clearly a secret medal (i.e. its description is vague or none at all) should be posted here.
This thread is about medal help, not riddles and vague answers :(

The fake wall is actually one box beneath that. Loved the game. The intro and the look of the game just looked so inspired by Metroid and the slow exploration, difficult puzzles and perfect level design just made the game one of my all time favorites. Sad that they should ruin the game once you got more gems, felt rather pointless too me when the game looked and sounded so beautiful


I tried really hard to come up with something funny. I failed.

I know, and it's one of the most genius things ever. But I wanted to see how long it took for people in here to go "wait a minute, wasn't that supposed to get medals?"

Another new medals game?!

This game is hard. Not just because it tests your reflexes, but because you need to remember what to do in each case, and at the beginning you actually need to figure it out. With the default controls, A to block arrows and duelists, S to duck arrows from behind, jump over hoplites with W, and SPACE to throw a spear into a farmer. And that's as far as I am so far.

Has anyone figured out what you're supposed to do with the riders in Hippolyta? Outrunning them is no good because you lose speed evading other obstacles, and hanging back to dodge is no good because the other attacks and obstacles that come at you will kill you.

I haven't figured out the riders yet. I will let you know if/when I do. I bought all the armor and did not get the "unlock all armor" medal. Anyone have a similar issue?

Is Story Mode progress saved? I'm afraid to go back to the menu because I don't want to have to play the first 4 levels again.

Hardcore mode should be "fun".
There should be a button prompt every time or something...at least they are pretty intuitive ('up; to jump, 'left' to block etc.)
Will try it out..I probably won't like it, but at least you get 1 AP every time you die...

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-03-11 16:21:28


Alright, so here's some news:

It doesn't preserve your progress through Story mode if you return to the main menu; you need to replay from level 1. Also it looks like Survival mode is level 4 on and on, and it looks like Pursuit mode is level 5 on and on.

Also, how do you purchase armor?

Sadly, from the main menu.I wanted to say that the controls are fine, but there should be more than one check point in every level.
Btw, what does the armor do?I mean, all encounters are win-or-die, how could armor help you?
Ah, and you have to block cavalry with your shield.

I unlocked all the game modes and didn't get the "Unlock All Game Modes" medal.

I didn't even notice the Armory tab on the left until you said that. I've contacted the game author to let him know that the two "unlock all" medals are broken, and I asked him for some clarification on just what exactly you're supposed to do with the riders since trying to outrun them doesn't get you anything, and letting them catch you and then pressing D to dodge doesn't get you anything.

You do have to outrun them. Keep the sprint button pressed, it takes a really long time to outrun them. And it's hard because sometimes you get multiple cues at once and have to react more quickly.

Really annoying that story mode progress isn't saved, I want to take a break and play another mode because it took me a lot of tries to finish level 4, it's really long. Working on level 5 now.


See my news post with medal hunting links and tools. I made a program NGMedals that finds your statistics and unearned medals.

There is also a browser script.

Ah, yes, I'm there now.
I tried beating the whole level while running, but it's too fucking hard.
The sad thing is that even if the author fixes those issues it I will lose all of my progress >:
