This is frustrating.
All variant achievements done. Got a Mint on this week’s One-Shot. Got the special form. Nothing.
Checked the character select screen. I can’t even see a locked variant for Completionist Guise. Which I assume means I have to wait another week before I even have the chance to go for the unlock again.
EDIT: Ugh, the update didn’t work properly. That’s why. Cool, guess I have to wait another week anyway. Fun!
REMOVED MY COMMENT.
Misread that the two peices can be done in any order
If you don't see a lock icon for the variant, you need to update your game.
I know. Said that in the edit. Somehow the update got interrupted.
I have all the promos, I updated my game a week or two ago, minted this week's one shot, then got Santa Guise's special form. No unlock yet. I do have the lock icon for the variant (though I did not double check until after my attempt). Any idea what might have gone wrong?
You might want to double check your achievements to make sure you have all of the variants via their story challenges, instead of with the cheat button. If you do have them all with the achievements, are you able to check your registry, by any chance? If so, you're looking for two entries - CuriouslyStrong and YouFoolThisIsntEven. If you're missing one or both, then you need to get the Mint and special form, for the respective entries. If you're not able to do so, you might want to retry both now that you've checked for the lock icon. You can get the Mint online and it will still count, so if you've not done that one yet, you still have a chance on this One-Shot.
If there's still an issue and none of those work, then I'm not sure.
I also have everything at this point (got all variants via story challenge, with the Steam achievements to confirm it, then got Santa Guise's form followed by an online mint, and the corresponding pair of registry keys to confirm those), and didn't get the unlock.
Oh, online mint. Start a game offline, or a game with Guise online.
Yep, that did it (just starting an offline game, with Guise involved). Thanks!
so I'm going back through the varians I initially unlocked with the button in order to get completionist guise, and I ran in to trouble with mad bomber blade. Can you not use the Haka trick to destroy blood sweat and tears with savage mana? Or is there more to the requirement than just beat blade, then destroy blood sweat and tears in one round? For some reason it didn't work for me with savage mana, and I'd like to know for sure before trying to do it without, which seems like a massive hassle.
Oh. Of course "all other variants" includes villain variants. I guess I'll go work on those guys. I do have fun with Skinwalker Gloomweaver and Heroic Infinitor
I think the "Haka trick" as you put it won't work because, while they're under Savage Mana, they don't have any card text. So you're destroying three villain cards, but they're not Citizens Blood, Sweat and Tears.
The Haka trick did work at one point but I don’t think it was intended to.
Interesting observation: When you get the Mint may not matter. I have unlocked all the variants, got Guise's special form, he unlocked as soon as I minted this week's weekly one shot. Maybe the condition is something along the lines of:
First, unlock all hero and villian variants. Then, you must win a game while Guise is in his special form, as well as obtain a Mint on any weekly one-shot (in either order).
The condition was already discovered and announced in this thread.
Huh. I must have missed it when I Iooked at the first page. My bad.
Is this ever coming the ... well, the cheap way?
I really don't want to have to unlock everyone via story mode (I did all the earlier characters on my ipad, then when I got the game on steam and my pixel REALLY didn't want to go through it all again, so have been "cheating").
Yes but unclear when
Still can't unlock him. I'm confident that I have all variants (hero and villians), unlocked through gameplay rather than the quick button. I got a mint on this week's one-shot (using somebody's playthrough). I'm confident that I did Santa Guise's hidden form sometime after the update (but before the mint), so I was expecting the unlock. Nothing. So I tried another game to get the hidden form. Still no unlock. Hmmmm....
I'm playing on an ipad. Incidentally, the Achievements button does nothing for me. And when I try to sync it through Options, it just freezes forever...
Yeah that’s a rough one to check if you can’t get to achievements to validate.
