Overview
Tired of trying and failing these two achievements? I’ll give you a hand
A Real Mine Sweeper
“A Real Mine Sweeper” is obtained after hiting 50 mines (the orange chasing things that don’t let you shoot or use skills) and not losing a life in a track. For this achievement you’ll need to hit and get incapacitated by 50 mines and not losing a life in the song. The achievement will unlock after the song is completed.
First step: SCOUTING. Scout your collection for songs that feature enemies that drop mines, if you can get yourself a track that allows for 2 sections with lots of mine-dropping enemies then you are good. The second step is to find the difficulty in which the ammount of enemies onscreen wont kill you while you incapacitate yourself, it can be either Normal, Hardcore or Insane.
I recommend going for a song with 2 sections in Normal or Hardcore, Insane may get you killed by accident later on the song. This way you can take mines on the first pass, and make sure you get some more hits on the second part with mines.
Note: The miners drop a minimum of 5 mines per drop, if you let them unattended for a while you’ll get enough mines to get hit 50+ times if you don’t shoot them.
Don’t Panic
“Don’t Panic” requires you survive 60 second without shooting or using skills: bombs, micro misiles, ultra beam and shield. It can be hard if you don’t evade well.
First, try to look for a song that has a slow start, either by having rocks only or a small ammount of enemies for easier dodging. Aim for any dufficulty up to Hardcore. Insane and Suicidal are harder to do since more enemies spawn and if you have potato dodging skills you are practically dead.
Note:
Remember that you can’t use ANY SKILLS, you depend of your SPEED to get this achievement.
