Kickback, Multipliers, Ball Savers and Extra Balls

[Cloda]

Socerer's Lair

Kickbacks: Light the GHOST letters. Once for the left trap door, repeat for the right.
Multipliers: Light the GOO Letters
Ball Save: Method 1: Ball Save is activated by hitting the Upper Left Playfield Ramp using the Small upper left flipper 4 times. Method 2: You also activate Ball Save the first two times that you lock a ball for either of the two main multiballs (the third time starts the multiball).
Extra Balls: Method 1: Complete a 6-way combo. Method 2: Random Award from Whisper's hideout (Hit Whisper's hole 4 times). Method 3: 10x bonus multiplier. Method 4: 10 combo shots for Elusion Mastery (left orbit and then ghost ramp with top right flipper). Extra ball is collected by shooting the ramp on the upper left playfield when lit. Each extra ball can be achieved more than once during a game but only once per original ball.

Thanks, guys. Cloda, I almost beat your score on Socerer's Lair earlier tonight. Drained my last ball with one mission to go to Midnight Madness and all Obsidian stones lit. I think I must have managed 6 or 7 goes at Midnight Madness. That was one long game. Damn.

I haven't had much chance to play this table since its release due to work commitments. Can anyone help to fill Paranormal's required info? Cheers

Thanks, buddy. Your name has been added to all the people who have contributed to this thread.

If I have missed anyone else please let me know.

Bump in the hope some of you wizards will help with the new tables. I've got to work a 16 hour shift on the day of these tables being released. Gutted!

Thor

Kickbacks: Light FROST for Left and GIANT for Right (In/Out Lane rollovers).
Multipliers: 2x increment for every 10 GOLDEN APPLES you collect.
Ball Save: Hit the three SIF letters.
Extra Balls: Method 1: Random award from ODIN'S GIFT (behind URU). Method 2: increment Multiplier past 10x by collecting a total of 60 GOLDEN APPLES.

Thanks FIREBALL. I missed this reply. Will update it now.

Just updated X-Men after a rather good game:

Kickbacks: Activate Nightcrawler for 3x left kickbacks. Jean Grey for 3x right kickbacks. These can be reactived but only after collecting all the X-Men. X-Men are collected by lighting all of the letters of Unite Ramp or using Xavier's Gift (this gives you a longer time to hit the required target).
Multipliers: Light the HANK letters to advance multiplier
Ball Save: Method 1: Complete a 5 way Combo. Method 2: Gather Wolverine by lighting the UNITE left ramp or Xavier's Gift - in either case you have a set amount of time to hit the left orbit.
Extra Balls: Method 1: Complete Cyclops mult-ball and get both balls into Magneto hole within 4 seconds of each other. Method 2: Collect Xavier's Gift but don't shoot the UNITE ramp, keep going for Xavier's Gift. Instead of lighting the letters it gives you a certain % towards an extra ball. Repeat as necessary. Method 3: Defeat Magneto in the Final Clash. Method 4: Complete one of the levels of Bioscan (I forget which one). NB All extra balls are collected from the Final Clash hidden sinkhole.

Feel free to point out any errors i may have made. Could do with some help with Moonknight and Ghost Rider ;-)

That's not the only way.

During a mission (for M and N) hit the three bullseye targets (two near the bumpers and one near the left drain). This will light one of the kick backs. Do it a second time to light the other kick back.

Wow I will bookmark to this thread now! It's just what I need! Nice to see some of the new Marvel tables being included as well. I have been having trouble figuring this stuff out for them.

This guide is included in the stickied thread 'Pinball FX2 Strategy guides' ;-) No need to bookmark.

Does anyone know how to get an extra ball on Agents?

The only way I know how to get an extra ball is to get the random Special reward when launching a new ball/hitting a random target, getting the Light Special random reward, and letting the ball drain in the outlanes to get the special/extra ball.

I know there is some other way to light special, as I have done it during normal play. The problem is I have no idea how I did it. This is one of the hardest tables to get an extra ball on other than Earth Defense. At least I know that I have to hit all 3 drop targets to activate the Extra Ball/left outlane on Earth Defense.
