Build the run around Adventure and active research
Start with Adventure Classic while an available G-Force Lab project is active, then work through Survival, Destruction and targeted Custom Battle tasks. Unlock fighters as you go, watch for gallery tokens throughout the run, and prepare a preferred monster for Adventure Challenge.
Follow a mode order that combines progress
- Select an available project in the G-Force Lab before starting your matches. Only 1 project can be active at a time, and your earned points contribute to that selection.
- Clear Adventure Classic with each newly unlocked fighter. Adventure Complete? requires clears with all 12 original characters, and a crown beside Adventure Classic marks a completed character.
- Prepare a preferred fighter for Adventure Challenge. The mode requires level 7, and completing it on any difficulty earns The Adventure Continues….
- Finish 5 Survival games for I Can Survive while progressing active research. A run ending in defeat still counts, including a loss in the opening round; Survival does not award monster experience.
- Play Destruction for Total Rampaging Destruction, targeting at least 10,000 points. Building throws and Vehicle Destruction can also be tackled here, letting you combine city-based objectives.
- Use Custom Battles for controlled character-action attempts. A local partner or another controller can simplify specific tasks, and completing a match against a human satisfies Better With Friends without requiring a win.
- Finish the remaining Lab and gallery goals after checking your collection. Continue research toward character and location unlocks, and concentrate building destruction on finding any gallery tokens you still need.
Separate research, collection and match actions
| Achievement or category | What advances it |
|---|---|
| A Good Head for Research | Complete 5 Research Projects in the G-Force Lab. |
| Lunar Research | Spend 384,400 Research Points through research progress. |
| Character and location research | Research all 12 original characters and 20 original locations for their associated trophies. |
| Hidden Treasure | Locate a hidden gallery token. |
| Pipeworks Connoisseur and Pipeworks Superfan | Collect 20 gallery items for Connoisseur and 40 for Superfan. |
| Combat actions and human matches | RAAAAGE!!!, Big Air, Surprise! and Grab 'N Go require combat actions; Better With Friends requires a completed human-opponent match. |
Research Points automatically go into your active Research Project as you earn them. Gallery goals revolve around collected items and tokens, so check Sightings as well as project progress. For combat-action trophies, focus on the required move or match outcome once the needed fighter is available.
Complete the Beyond the Boundary Rumor
- Win 5 Custom Melee matches on Seattle Complete, with at least 3 monsters participating in each match. This completes the Seattle portion of the reported route.
- Win 5 Custom Melee matches on San Francisco Complete, again with at least 3 monsters participating. This completes the other portion of the reported route.
Time Big Air against a flying opponent
Big Air requires an airborne knockdown with the Cross Attack Beam Uppercut. Use Showa Mechagodzilla against Rodan in a Custom match. The attack has a delay, so timing the beam matters more than simply hitting the input while Rodan is nearby.
- Set up the Custom match as Mechagodzilla against Rodan. This gives you the fighter and airborne target used for the attempt.
- Wait for a full energy bar before attempting the uppercut. Start the attempt with the energy available for the attack.
- Press up on the left stick and Circle on PlayStation while Rodan is flying. Begin the input before he approaches so the delayed chest beam can knock him down in the air.
Collect gallery items throughout the run
Pipeworks Connoisseur requires 20 gallery items, and Pipeworks Superfan requires 40. View your collection through G-Force Lab → Sightings. Adventure and Research Projects unlock some items, while hidden gallery tokens can drop randomly from destroyed buildings.
- Watch destroyed buildings for red gallery coins during your other objectives. Collecting a hidden gallery token also satisfies Hidden Treasure.
- Set up a Custom match with 3 monsters when you want a dedicated search. Moving away from the other combatants lets you focus on destroying buildings while they fight.
- Check Sightings after collection sessions to see which gallery goals remain. Random token drops make it sensible to search during other tasks instead of leaving every gallery item until the end.
Use Destruction for overlapping city objectives
Urban Renewal asks for 10 building throws in a single match, while Tank Smasher asks for at least 1,000 points from Vehicle Destruction. Throw buildings and destroy city structures during Destruction, then inspect the score breakdown. Weapon attacks and Rage can destroy groups of buildings, helping with the overall Destruction score target.
Protect the Mothership barrier during Adventure
Self-Restraint requires finishing an Adventure Mode fight on the Mothership without destroying the inner barrier. Keep the battle near the center and avoid throwing the opponent into the surrounding buildings. Be careful with missed weapon shots, and draw the opponent back inward if the fight drifts toward the ring.
Resolve the Adventure+ menu mismatch
- What does the Adventure+ achievement mean when my menu only shows Classic, Gauntlet, and Challenge?
- Complete Adventure Challenge for The Adventure Continues…. The achievement’s Adventure+ wording refers to Challenge, which requires the selected fighter to reach level 7. Any difficulty can be used for the clear.
