I've also pinged Hippolyta's creator about the updates, and let him know about some achievement bugs, namely that the speed achievements in hardcore mode are broken past level 1. Speaking of which, I think I have the fastest legitimate time on Hardcore right now. Wooo!

Well, okay, since I'm going to post anyway, here's the deal:
How long is the last level supposed to last?
Because it took me 10 minutes and maybe even more at a normal speed...I died because I heard her warning me about arrows from behind, so I waited a second, then ducked only to find a horseman charging at me >:
Anyway, at least now the armor medal is fixed...what's strange is that I got it as soon as I unlocked all single-player modes...bah.

Depends how much you're slowing time down by. I'm playing at about half speed and it takes about 9 minutes, so if you're playing at a quarter speed it should take about 18. It does end though. One of the in-game achievements is to finish the level in 4:28, so that should give you an idea of how long it will take.

To find out how much you're slowing time down by, play in pursuit or survival mode and compare game time to real time.

I did that, and time seems to be 75% of normal time, roughly..and come on, what the hell, that level is really too fucking long...it definitely isn't 5 minutes, that's for sure..
I'm pretty pissed off because now minor bugs can be literally lethal, for example Hippolyta not crouching right after the shield, or the spear not penetrating farmers sometimes..luckily I never died late in the level, but still.
I still believe that a mid-level checkpoint would make this game 1000% better...

So it looks like all the medals are working in Hippolyta, assuming dodging rider attacks is registering. I have work to do right now, so I can't play up to level 5 in regular story mode in order to find out. You dodge their attacks by pressing down when they raise their spear, so if anyone else wants to give it a go, it would be fantastic to find out if it works yet.

Dunno, I tried doing it in Pursiut and it didn't work..

None of the counters increase when you are doing Pursuit or Survival mode. I created a new game on a save, counted, and didn't get the reward at all. Then went to story mode. Counted, and got the achievement as if I never played Pursuit or Survival.

I'm still not having my dodges counted in-game. Maybe he's updated the file since I loaded it this morning?

Are the medals in the new madness game working yet?

Level 4 of Hardcore mode.
About to finish level 5.

I believe I'm the first to hit 40K Medal Points and I didn't get a picture.
Fuck my life.

I suck big time at Hippolyta, it's even possible that I'm the worst person ever at it. Even with the game running hilariously slow I can't get through level 5, and Hardcore mode is... well, completely unrealistic. No saving in the middle of story mode is also pretty meh.

Nope, it's still not registering rider dodges even with a freshly downloaded copy of the game. Still broken. Still, 490/500 ain't bad.

Also, the individual hardcore level timed achievements aren't working. I did pedal-to-the-metal sprint on levels 1, 2, and 3 and only got the time achievement on level 1. I really need a pause function for hardcore mode.

Single-level time achievements are broken for any level in which you don't die and have to restart. So the hardcore ones are obviously impossible at the moment.

Also, Hippolyta guide is up

Dunno, the game gets garder if it goes TOO slowly, and of course the same happens if it goes too fast..
Gonna try and get the rest of the medals today..
By the way, Chris, your guide is really good (although I bit too long-you don't really have to explain that you have to jump over ground obstacles :P)

Haha. I beat level 4 without dying the first time and was wondering how I didn't get the single-level time achievements (I always have "D" held down through the entire game). Now I can go back and get those points

What can I say, I like completeness. And thank you.

Wow, thanks to this small pause in the medals game production I've been able to at least try most games that I skipped in the last month...
Apart from the load of points, I also found a super-rare floating medal!
It stays on that part of the screen, no matter where I go..pretty weird :P

Too bad I didn't screen-shoot.....

About this game, I want to know if there was a trick to get the medals to complete the game without dying more than 30 and 10 times.

or perhaps we should really finish it without dying more than 30 and 10 times?

Just keep redoing the level (without completing it!) until you feel confident you can complete it, then reload the page and click continue you will have the same amount of deaths as when you started the level. Then just play through the level. Repeat. Makes it fairly easy, although time consuming, instead of one of the hardest medals.

I was wondering how so many people were getting the "beat the game under 10 deaths" medal. Very easy if you do it that way.

Double post.

Is the "make sure doug doesn't drink any of your ale after level 5" medal broken?

Author said he fixed it, saying doug can't drink for the first second (because you can never get there in time when he goes under the first time). However, my tank still goes down a bit that first time doug goes into the ale.

I managed to beat him before he could drink on level 14 or something, but I still didn't get the medal.
Also, the amount of damage he can take is just ridiculous...I remember hitting him so many times that the whole wall was covered in blood, and yet he somehow could still resist...

What he means is that if Doug pops up from a drum for less than a second than he won't lower the amount of ale in your barrel. It's to eliminate losing your booze when he's so fast it's impossible to hit him no matter how fast you click on him. You still need to be in the back room before he gets there if you want to be sure he wont steal anything.

Also, I know some people haven't been able to get the dodge achievements in Hippolyta and apparently you're not supposed to be able to get them in pursuit mode, but they worked perfectly fine for me. Makes it really damn easy to get 50 dodges.

i can confirm that the dodge ten riders medal does work now

Yup, I was waiting for him for the whole day, without pouring any ale to the customers because that would make me lose a lot of time..also, the barrel was the closest one to the entrance...he made it eventually..my ale was still at 100% when I was done with him, but no medal for me :(

It seems do depend on luck where the barrel is placed. If it's all the way at the back it seems inevitable that doug will take that first bit before you get there. However I managed to prevent any stealing at occasions where the barrels are right in front, but still no medal.

Has this medal worked at all for anyone?

Ugh. I'll put it down as broken for now. Does anybody have the final medal in Eon? Could use some help on paring a few levels.
