Hmmph. I'm stumped on getting gold on level 4. Even if I don't miss any bombs, the car explodes at 1:06, while gold timing is 1:02. Any ideas, folks? (Could use help on the last 2 secret medals too)

After finding the run button, I didn't find it too difficult to get under 1 minute on that stage. The strategy I used was to stay somewhat in the center of the field, going diagonally up and down, and then ran towards him after the 3rd dodge to get in position for kicking the ball at him. Hope that helps.

Never mind this. I didn't have it at the time. I thought I did. After replaying the level a couple of times I finally manage to get it. I guess what you have to do is treat it as bullfighting, staying close to Bibere, so he doesn't drive very far, which is the trick. The less he drives the faster you can kick the ball at him. Try staying in the circle, not moving very far from it. On the last ball, move above him and pounce down after the car explodes. I did it in 1:01. Gold is given in 1:02.28

Ah well. I mistakenly assumed that driving time was equal regardless of the distance. I tried to stay in the circle, and got it in 0:59.

Anyone knows about the last 2 secret medals?

Nijsse got all the medals when I checked his profile. Evidently he was too hasty for gold during the tank level (this is the 50 point one), and he tried to cheat for the dance level xD

The other two aren't so obvious I'm afraid =/ The other medal you're asking about involves more failing.

It's always a smart move to check the Programmer's profile while looking for secret medals. It would've been very hard to find the secret medal in the dance stage without that little info. =)

Fortunately I don't have to do this. Maybe it's a version of your firefox?
Half of the medals from the ninja game didn't sent for me, so I was lucky for it to keep my save file :D.

Happy for it to be solved now.

The order of the medals suggested that you actually tried cheating the dance stage. Thought it was worth reiterating xD

About Urban Wars... is the fastest way to complete that game just to spam a single super soldier every time?

Hehe yeah I figured that was the main reason you mentioned it, so I had to clarify I earned the medal because of fortunacus. :P

About Urban Wars... is the fastest way to complete that game just to spam a single super soldier every time?

Hm, you have a bunch of medals in that game, so I figure you know about the rock-paper-scissor thing? (little girl beats huge dude, huge dude beats small dude, small dude beats little girl) The method that worked the fastest for me, was to balance your upgrades, because every person is equally strong. Start of with the recharge, then life, then power. Rinse and repeat. Ignore upgrading the super kick. Upgrade the human resources fairly early, and maybe upgrade the life a bit, but only if you suck at the game. =)

Because your recharge is fast and the CPU sucks, you can counter the CPU movements really fast and spam some more people. This way you can beat every level easily, sometimes even within 30 seconds. It kind of depends how much the opponent spams his super kick. If you play it this way you should be able to beat the game with a gang in <1 hour.

When checking your Urban Wars progress, I noticed you just earned a certain medal. Very nice work mr Holmes, very nice work. I guess you're going to keep that little secret to yourself a bit, huh =)

Thanks for the tips, I shall try out what you suggested.

I suppose I should get this mystery medal business out of the way, since at least three people have noticed it by now.

--Yes, it IS a secret button you're looking for.
--No, it does not let you know when you've found it, except for the typical "medal get" notification.
--Yes, it is hard. In the interest of documentation, I tried to duplicate the results, but I have been unsuccessful o.O You too will probably need multiple attempts, even knowing what it is you're looking for.
--No, skill is not involved, unless you count AC fingers as a skill.
--Last but not least, yes, this medal is unbelievably evil. Not so much for the difficulty, but for the sheer amount of secrecy protecting it.

I believe Ugo' hinted that you can get it on either level 2 or 3. What level do you think is the easiest to get it on?

From purely my perspective, level 3 is the most probable, simply because it's 1.5x longer. In fact, I got it on level 3.

The fact that tab breaks on level 2 (as well as level 3 from tests on one of my computers) hints that t3h secret button does exist in that level. It doesn't hurt to try if you have time to waste and aren't multitasking.

Woot, I'm finally back to earning medals! I hadn't updated my spreadsheet since April 9, but now I'm all caught up and playing the games I missed. My gains this weekend are already split up by this morning's update, but I'll probably have gotten around 5000 points by the time I go back to school for finals. Then back home again and time for a lot more medals.

My comments might be somewhat anachronistic since I read over 20 pages of this thread today, but I had a couple questions. I think I read that Picos Quest had medals with points, but they don't appear on the game page. Is that bug still going on or are there not medals for this?

Also, have the Crazy Over Goo medals been fixed yet? I enjoyed the game regardless, but it would be nice to be able to get them.

Also a random comment and question. I wish I was skilled enough to be able to make a walkthrough that would actually help people like a lot of others have. There are probably only a couple games that I'm exceptionally good at. But meh. But on that topic, what do you guys use to record videos? I think that would be a good thing to have just in case.

I think that's all I wanted to say. And of course, thank you all for all the help you provide in this topic, with both tracking new games and giving tips.


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.

The author hasn't put medals in that game, it's just some april fools joke. It gives them in-game, but nobody is able to get them on their profiles.

They worked for me, but not for everyone. I guess you should just try it.

I didn't read anything on this, or at least I don't remember o.O

Other than asking people for this info, the next best way to find the answer to this question is to look up the medal pages of the top 5 users and look up the medals for the game you have inquiries for (I'm a rather poor choice though, since I almost never play non-point medal games in their entirety).

Also, have the Crazy Over Goo medals been fixed yet? I enjoyed the game regardless, but it would be nice to be able to get them.

I wasn't one of the users that was affected by this, so I can't say whether it's been fixed or not. Perhaps an ad hoc solution you could use is to play on public computers and see if it works on any of those machines. As with all public outlets, they might be infected, so it's up to you if you want to risk your NG info or not.

HyperCam 2. Apparently there are watermarked free versions, and the totally free versions with no handicaps attached. You'll want to be aware of that.

There are a couple issues with screencapture software for the desktop. First, what you're trying to record may not record smoothly. In experience, I can record League of Legends at 30 fps almost all the time (with Fraps), but some "intense" flash games can only be recorded at 10 fps for some reason. Second, sound may prove difficult to get. The normal way of getting this is either with the What U Hear or stereo mix audio device (it may be disabled and hidden). But if you don't have either, the next best thing you can do is either camp a mic in front of your speakers, which destroys the sound quality obviously, or you get a loopback adapter, which will consume your sound output and mic input, but is guaranteed to get you the audio.

An alternative is Fraps, which will get you uncompressed video files (read: LARGE!!!) and sound, while being less intensive on your computer, but this will only work if the flash you're working with can be viewed in full screen like the youtube videos.

Video editing software is a whole different beast. The good ones are really expensive, ugh >.<

I think that's all I wanted to say. And of course, thank you all for all the help you provide in this topic, with both tracking new games and giving tips.

Heh. I was going to do a guide for Spike - A Love Story, but for some reason I'm much better at the game on my crappy lappy than on my newer desktop. So I can't get the material I want for the survival challenge =( I'm wondering if I should just go with what I've got atm....

Thanks, tried it and it works perfectly. From now on, I can actually record stuff in stead of doing a horrible job explaning how to get certain medals. ;) If you guys have a request on a game/medal, just let me know.

Also, thanks for the hints on how to get the Keeper of Secrets medal. Unfortunately, I've spent so much time looking for the Sailor Moon medal that I can't stand that game anymore. I don't even know if I can get the medal on this computer, because I might have accidently pressed the tab button while throwing my keyboard around the house, looking for Sailor Moon, and I can't find the .sol file anywhere. I would love to scratch Pico's Musical experience off my list though, so I'm going to have to go back to that game eventually..

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-05-30 10:01:27


Ok guys, I did a last update in my game (Always in version 1.0.2) and I removed the code that if you press TAB you can not receive the medal, now even if you press TAB you can get the medal called the keeper of secrets, I am sorry, in this my game I was really evil with the medals, the medals in my next game will be easier!

I have a problem with Castaway 2. I seem to have died because of an enemy attack and I wanted to go to town with the feather (you know, before they got the chance to kill me). But I clicked it after I died and since my autosafe was on, I try to restart the game from the last scene and I appeared in Astreas Bastion, but with the health on 0! Can someone please tell me how to fix this? I have spend more than 5 hours playing this game and I only needed 2 more bosses to complete the game. I don't want to start again from the beginning! I tried to get my health up with some items but it didn't work, only the mana.

My save file got wiped out entirely, so I can't check whether or not the city has an inn.

Moral of the story: have backup saves. Good habit to get into. I've had one too many complicated 3D files corrupt and waste countless hours of work, so I went ahead and made multiple backups.

You can't sell stuff? And If I remember right, you character regens automatically. Also, you can have your pet raised from the statue next to the hatchery.

It doesn't work that way. Since my character is "dead" it won't regenerate any health and I can't move to any direction so I'm stuck. Here's a picture if you guys still don't understand me:

Aw fuck! According to likwidgames:

"Hi there. Unfortunately due to the autosave, your game may be stuck. I'm hoping that you have taken the time to save at the inn periodically as you have been playing. Sorry."

Last time I saved periodically was after I beat like 2 bosses only. So yeah, I'm not going to play it again just to get a 50 pointer medal. I did have fun while it lasted, though.

I've also been unable to get Crazy Over Goo medals to work. It's neither a cache nor .sol problem. I'm speculating that an unannounced update by the author broke the medals, so I'm curious to see if anyone who hasn't gotten them yet can get them.

Or somebody who already has them, and has some free time, could create an alt account to see if you can get the medals.
