Introduction:
Arkedo Series 02 - Swap! is a fun retro game where you play as King Kat. First, you need to help King Kat get back to his castle, then you complete challenges with him. The game is a bit like Bejewelled, you have to match 4 or more of the same coloured blocks up horizontally or vertically.
Step 1: Credits As soon as you load up the game you may as well earn a really easy ! Scroll through the credits and you will unlock Accredited Gamer
Step 2: Castle Mode Complete all 5 chapters of Castle Mode to earn Claim your castle!. This also unlocks Challenge Mode.
Step 3: Arcade Mode In Arcade Mode you need to get 40,000 points for Prince of my Castle, 60,000 points for King of my Castle, and 80,000 points for Emperor of my Castle.
Step 4: Challenge Mode To unlock Challenge Mode, you need to complete Castle Mode. There are 16 challenges in Challenge Mode. You need to complete them all to unlock Unchallenged. Also, during Challenge Mode you will have to make a X4 combo and blast 10 blocks at once, which each have a trophy of their own. Therefore, if you don't get them on Steps 2 or 3, don't spend time in Arcade Mode for them because you will just have to do them again in Challenge Mode.
Step 5: Clean Up Now, you will need to farm all the cumulative total trophies. Keep doing double deckers, blasting thunder blocks, freezing time, and collecting treasures (if you still need to).
[PS3T Would Like to Thank Gashead-64 for this Roadmap]
I recommend choosing easy difficulty for this one. Thunder blocks, time blocks, and combos are key to achieving this. Four time freeze blocks are not that useful, you need 5+ to make it worthwhile, and if you are near the top, thunder blocks are the best way to recover. Also, to get this quicker, do X4, X5, or even X6 combos.
From FDC1: "Fastest way is to choose easy mode and go for a x5 or x6 combo. You can get the 3 trophies in 1minute if you're good/lucky enough."
A double decker is when you stack 3 of the same colour on top of a different 3 of the same colour. Then swap 2 blocks around to make 2 sets of 4 blast at the same time. Refer to this video:
It’s a cumulative total, so just try to do as many as you can in all modes.
When you match up 4 or more of the blocks with clocks on them, it freezes time, for a second or 2. So this trophy is going to be a bit of a grind. All you can do is just freeze time as often as you can. Try to match up 5, 6, or even 7 time freeze blocks, as this will freeze time for a lot longer than 4 will. Matching 7 freeze blocks up will freeze time for around 20 seconds.
To match a 10 brick shape, you need to have a spare blue near the top. Now, align 3 blues then leave a space, then align another 3 blues. Under the space, you need to line up another 3 blues, this time vertically. Then just slip the spare blue at the top in to make a “T” shape, and net you this trophy. (Note: You can use any colour.)
