Army Corps of Hell Trophy Guide

Army Corps of Hell is a tricky game. While it starts off easy, it quickly becomes an extremely tactical game. This can make some trophies extremely difficult. However, this guide will give you the tools to beat most stages. Additionally, I strongly suggest reading the How to Play section below for basic tactics and information.

How to Play

The first thing you must learn to be successful, are formations (Left trigger). Spearmen in formation will swarm enemies and destroy them in seconds. Soldiers will send two warriors in formation, but you can’t move with the warrior. Finally Magi will change magic at a slower rate, though they’re easier to control. Additionally formation is a great way to get all your troops back to you. I strongly suggest doing this to get past tricky traps.

As you progress, the first thing you’re bound to notice, are the icons under the stage name. These will give you a general idea of what to expect. Some of them like Dragon or Lightning are far less worrisome, than others like bugs. You can find a complete listing below.

You MUST use these to come up with basic tactics. The keys to success, is knowing what works best for a given sign. The first thing you must learn is that fire is far more deadly than lightning. This is because lightning monsters lose their charge after a lightning attack. If you force them to use this magic, then you’re free to swarm on them. However, flame monsters are always on fire. These monsters can be attacked if you have fire armor on, but you won’t get this till later on in the game.

Personally I have been using the following method to handle every stage. For beast stages, I strongly suggest using spearmen. These will quickly down bosses and they’re the biggest problem for these stage. Dragon bosses are a complete joke for spearmen. If you constantly send your warriors to fight, then you will most likely beat the dragon in around 40 seconds. You honestly won’t need a tactic, as the spearmen will disable the boss. Bugs are tricky to call. Some stages use Spidread / Pyrosaura bosses, which are easier with spearmen or soldiers. Other bug stages have Beelzeboon, who is going to drive you insane without a magi army. I strongly suggest trying bug stages with magi and if you fail without encountering Beelzeboon, then use the spearmen.

One of the most important tactics, is knowing where to strike bosses. You see, bosses are special because they can get stunned. This is important because there is a critical place to strike and a “useful” place to strike. The “useful” place will break off the boss, which allows you to harvest for materials. These materials can be used to make bigger / better weapons, so it’s strongly advised to always attack these spots first.

Locations:

Gigadon, Magiflare, Thundoom = Tail.

Glutia = The things with mouths.

Empyraptor, Beatrix, Bluebolt = Wings, Tail.

Sqidread, Pyrosaura = Head.

Grangelea, Daarkus = Wings.

Beelzeboon, Boonbairn = Midsection, though they need a lot of life.
