Got it with the glitch and without, but definitely glitch first. If anyone has questions on how to glitch the game it's fairly simple, just PM me.

If you look above your post you'll see 3 huge chunks of text from me, that's the best advice I can give without actually replaying the level or making a video walkthrough. Honestly, that level just takes patience, just like most of the levels on Hard. Although, if you're a level 47 it should be fairly easy.. Save for the fact that you can't get all the best gear, but neither could anyone else at that stage.. Just run to the bottom left at the beginning and go from there. Skeletons are pussies and the giants really aren't that bad. For scorpions just make sure they're only shooting in your direction and not at you and the rest of your party. If you really need help just buy some food and heal yourself while the scorpion attacks you but you should be able to take on a scorpion 1-1 even with other guys around you with your Regen being maxed and some Health Steal stats on your weapons..

Seriously, it's all about patience.

Somehow I missed responding to this before, but it's not just how much EXPERIENCE you get each level, but also how much TIME you take each level to get that experience, and from my observations Shrum runs seem to be the most efficient for that, taking far less time than anything else and giving you almost the most experience per level. Thus, making it the most efficient for experience farming on Hard at a high level.

Or you do what's been said in this thread many times before, just play a few times without closing the game, and it starts to glitch. NO tricks needed.

Wouldn't you know the very next time I attempted the level I cleared out the bottom left corner and beat it? Post Legend for the win.

Hey congrats! Haha told you guys the bottom left corner is the best place to start by just running there and clearing everyone out.

Well, I'm glad I backed up my game data on Dragon Boy, because I've had the game open for 12 hours now and my Merlin's Apprentice medal didn't register. So now I get to come back at it another day starting at the bottom of level 48, which is fine because let's face it, it doesn't take that long to get a level when you're running Training Grounds Level 2. I've found that at level 48 the Shroom runs really don't get me anything, so Training Grounds it is.

And that's me for the night.

so i beat hard before i got merlins apprentice, now everytime i close the game i lose any exp and gold i have. My way around this is to make sure i level before closing the game, then i just start with no exp towards whatever the next level is. now the issue is, everytime i try to grind, at some point one monster on the screen just stops moving and i can't hit it or beat the level. any suggestions?

Your lost of exp and gold happens at any point in the game when you close out, kind of lame...

As far as having one of the enemies freeze out, that's just a bug of the game, you should change level to level up on. It happened to me in one of the cemetary levels, I had the same shrum always do that to me.

You always lose all experience and gold you have, just need to make sure you level before closing, like you said. Even at level 3 that's the case.

As for monsters getting stuck, I've only had that happen once, and I solved it by moving. You move out of the way and its AI resets or something, and you can go at it again.

I searched the forums and couldn't find anything.

I know Lastman is an older game
and I also know that secret medals aren't supposed to be revealed here.

But I beat the game (finally...) and I know how to achieve the secret medal, but I can neven begin the trail back towards home without dying before I leave the boss area.

Can someone please pm me and help me out?

Wednesday came and past. Game of the week was a lie!!!!!

P.S. Wylo, do you have revenue sharing enabled on your alt account, and if so are you making bank? You definitely deserve to with all the work you put into compiling those guides anyways.

If he is, he made some money off me haha. For the first few months of medal hunting, i had his site bookmarked. Clicked it probably 10 times a day for a month or two to get links to games i didn't have all the medals for and guides.

Will never get to level 6 because I don't want a black hand as my avatar. Is that racist?

Yea but then he should also split the revenues between everyone that contributed a guide lol. Or maybe we should turn on our revenue share and get that money for when people use our guides.

Or you could realize how much impressions generate, and how much clicks generate, and how much of those combined take to generate the requisite fifty dollars.
And it will be quite a while before that point is reached. a few thousand impressions plus 1 or 2 thousand clicks don't even give you one dollar, as I remember with my award-winning flash. I studied those numbers closely. :)
The cpm ratio is insane, so... yeah.

I've accumulated a few dollars over the months. And I mean only a few. So far looking at my average eCPM is at $0.05. It'll prolly take at least a few years to accumulate enough to cash out $50. Most likely, by that time NG'll have an internal donation system up and we are able to purchase NG Gear with it.

But ya, everyone should enable revenue sharing, there's no harm in having it.

I actually have been talking to Tom Fulp about it via PM's (I know he responded.. crazy right?) because I haven't gotten any updates since September and I guess it's because I made no revenue.. even though my Ad Impressions keep going up (and faster than before I might add).. So ya I've only accumulated close to 2 dollars over 2 months. Haha I need to come up with some epic flashes to get some real money generated eh?

What a piece of shit that game is. I'll point out some of the major flaws.

When you restart after dying, you go all the way back to the title screen and have to skip the intro again.
Sometimes you start and theres no first cloud to hit (Fail error trap)
When you beat the game and you get your score, there is no restart button and the NG logo which has a link on it doesn't work. So you have to refresh your game to play again.

Also medals are not showing up below the game for me (As they usually do, nothing to do with the layout stuff because i'm on chrome)

Will never get to level 6 because I don't want a black hand as my avatar. Is that racist?

Well i mean medals exist, I got them both.

I'm nearly 100% sure that there are only two medals for that game. I tried everything possible.

Clicking/tabbing everywhere for secrets
not getting hit by a missle
getting to the rocket and then missing it and falling from 12000 ft
hitting every missle

I got one for OVER 9000 and one for winning. I like the game. First you have to collect, then you have to avoid; I haven't seen the two put together in the same game before. If only there was a button to play again once you won.
