Uncomfortably Warm – Survive your first encounter with the Fire Wizard!
This is a story related achievement. You’ll come upon a level where you have to defend your standard castle while dodging attacks from the Fire Wizard. If you successfully complete this level you’ll unlock this achievement.
The Weakest Link – Defeat the Fire Wizard!

Grind Achievements
Goblin Beatdown – Defeat 500 enemies!
Slaughter the goblins!!! Should unlock fairly early.
Excessive Force – Defeat 2500 enemies!
Perform goblin genocide. You should unlock this achievement before completing the game.
Money Magnet – Collect 5000 coins!
Collect all of the coins you can and you should easily unlock this achievement before completing the game.
Better Than Coins – Collect 25 gems!
Gems can be collected by selling a level five tower. This is a great way to grind out the much needed gems. I recommend using the Arbalest Tower since it is the cheapest method.
Persistence – Complete 100 waves!
Don’t be frightened by this one. This is an overall completion achievement. You should pick this one up near the end of the game.
Duke Of Construction – Build 250 towers!
This one will take some extra rounds in order to complete. I completed the game before I unlocked this achievement.
Warriors Wardrobe – Unlock 5 heads!
You unlock heads by completing levels and talking to NPCs located in the hub worlds. You should receive this one fairly quickly.
Walk In Closet – Unlock 15 heads!
You unlock heads by completing levels and talking to NPCs located in the hub worlds. You’ll receive this one about halfway through the game if you remember to talk to all of the NPCs.
House of Heads – Unlock 30 heads!
This one requires you to complete all levels and talk to all of the NPCs in the hub worlds. As of writing this 4/14/2019, this is all of the heads in the game.
Duke of Heads – 100% complete the game!
This one requires you to unlock all towers and heads in the game by talking to all of the NPCs in the hub worlds. You must also complete ALL levels without losing a single life. You can tell if you’ve completed a level without losing a life by looking for golden shimmer on the teleport pad.
Miscellaneous Achievements
Finance Specialist – Collect 50 coins in a single streak!
This achievement should come naturally. I unlocked mine before killing 500 total enemies. If you’re struggling to pick this one up I recommend taking advantage of chokepoints and standing nearby for coin collection.
Fresh Kicks – Equip a head that isn’t the default!
Very simple achievement. After completing World 1-1 you’ll receive a head. Any time after that you can change your head by looking for the small stone structure with two knight heads above it (picture below). This is where you will change your characters head.
Rally The Troops – Gather your friends and prepare for a great battle!
