it is worth focusing on getting the elves weapon upgrade from the ramp combos?

Interest info guys.. basically near enough just need the max multiplier info and il be able to bang out the Guide.

The rule sheets do say that maxing multipliers will give you an extra ball. I played only 1 game last night and got up to x24 by mostly focusing on the sink hole and angrir mission. The problem with the bumpers is that if exits to the right, it can drop sdtm so you have to be prepared to nudge.

I completed my Fear Itself Guide, but still don't know what the max multiplier is... btw the guide is just under 6,500 words

Are the multipliers displayed anywhere on the table?

Why don't you just use google docs for making these guides? It would be more efficient and easier to share and edit the guides.

I don't think so. Neither does Ghost Rider, right? I'm not 100% sure, because Ghost Rider has a huge X limit too. Whenever you increase it, just look at the dmd lol.

I'm looking into it, hopefully I can get an answer in the next day or two. The team is 9 hours ahead, so they're gone for the day by now.

Any tips on the Naakrod mission? It's the only mission I have trouble beating consistently. The neutral ball can be annoying when both balls are in play. I known how you're supposed to finish it but many times I lose the neutral ball in the outlanes. IMO this is the most difficult of the worthy missions. The other multiball mission is fairly easy. I just make sure I don't shoot the ball when he screams and the magnet activates to make the ball move towards the center.

High Score Methods

Seems like there are 2 ways to get a big score on this table.

1) Wizard mode
2) Raft Bonus x Multiplier.

Or a bit of both of course.

But theoretically a maximum multiplier of x250 combined with a raft score of say 4 million means an EOB of 1 billion!

Easier said than done of course. Raising the multiplier seems to be the main problem - most Ive got to is about x 50.

That is all.

Yeh over on ZP2 I ended up beating my PFX2 Score in getting just under 700 Million, I did so by keeping the Wizard Reward Mode Multiball alive for ages. This Table is an absolutely gem and I hope everyone who l loves Pinball experiences it one way or another.

I first played breakout on the atari 2600. Unfortunately, I missed the gaming greatness of the commodore 64. I had the bastard gaming system of that generation, the Vectrex. Never heard of the ZX spectrum.

I played VIC-20 games, and had to load them with a cassette deck peripheral. I still own an ATARI to this day and hook it up maybe once/year. I have a bunch of Classics like Pitfall, Pac-Man, Asteroids, Combat, Adventure, etc.

Yes I have to agree this is a great table. Got a similar score myself last night narrowly missing out on a second wizard mode.

My only minor complaints would be that the Skirth mission seems a bit spammable. As well as being one of the easiest missions its also the highest scoring.

Getting the multipliers up to x250 is a mighty task as well, especially as the only way to hold the multipliers is as a random award.

Overall though a pretty well balanced table with a couple of missions which are tough every time and some others that require a lot of care. Good bit of design that the stone ball cannot be magna-saved.

So overall very impressed with this one - as much as I would prefer less Marvel tables Zen do seem to make most effort with them. I would take this table over an original like Epic Quest any day.

End of Ball Bonus guide

Haven't done all that well at this table, so if I'm missing anything, let me know.

Multipliers are raised by highlighting the 3 rollovers above the bumpers, then you have 10+ seconds to hit either orbit. It apparently maxes at 250. An extra ball is earned at that point.

Bonus
10,000 points per ball
Default bonus awarded if you have no other bonuses

Worthy Bonus
10,000 points per Worthy defeated per game
I do not know if this resets upon completing the wizard mode

Adreneline Bonus
10,000 points per loop around the board per ball
I don't think the Nul Worthy mission counts.

Neutral Ball bonus
The points awarded seem to be based off how long you have a Neutral ball in play, per ball.

Raft Bonus
Points collected during Raft Madness mode, per ball

Summary - at 250x, the potential for some huge bonuses are there, though I have no idea how feasable that is (my best is a measly 7x). Aside from the extra ball, it looks only worthwhile if you have a large Neutral ball or Raft Madness bonus.
