Ultimo is Dead!!!!!

Recommended Posts

After an epic battle with Ultimo tonight, I was finally able to defeat him. During the 4 ball multiball, I got no hits on him so i was thinking it was going to end the way it always does. But after holding the two remaining balls and waiting on my shot, i was able to ignite both balls and before i knew it, i had 5 hits on him and was then able to catch the balls again, this time with one on each flipper. I'm more comfortable that way. Then after waiting for what seemed like forever, the Party ramp started flashing and i was able to backhand a shot from the right flipper up it and ignite another ball. With that ball, i managed to get three more hits on him, now standing at 8 total. Luckily i was able to catch a ball on each flipper again, then backhand a shot up the Stark Tower ramp with the left flipper once it started flashing. With that ball, the final two hits took down Ultimo!! :D

 

And yes, after trying many, many times, I jumped up and did a happy dance!:dance: I'm officially done with the Ironman table for a long time.

I'm finally at 100% on Marvel Pinball.

Thanks everyone. :o I was starting to wonder if it was ever going to happen. Ultimo is definitely the hardest trophy on Marvel Pinball. I think the main problem i was having was the view. I usually play on view 5 but the Ultimo battle forces you to view 6. The changing of my view during the fight was messing up my shots. I started playing the entire game on view 6 several days ago. Once I got used to view 6, Ultimo was defeated in the matter of a few days.

 

Keep trying Oskari. You were able to get 8 hits before, 10 hits isn't far behind.

After about 10 tries, I haven't even reached him today. If this keeps to happen, I'll quit. That's right. I hate lighting everything up. I hate this table! What's wrong with me? Every time I'm having a good game, I lose it! :mad: How did you survived? did you reached him in every game?

 

I'm so frustrated with this stupid table!!! :wall:

 

Its my least favorite table too. It was the last table I put any time into and the only reason i did it was to get the last trophy. I always hated having to constantly activate the kickbacks. It seems like as soon as i activated one, the ball would go right down it, and i'd have to activate it again...especially the right kickback.

If i didn't complete at least two missions on my first ball, I'd start over. But i could usually do that. The Vortex and Flame Blast were the hardest for me. Also , when i first started a game, i'd go for the skill shot. One time, I managed to get the multiplier up to 8x at the start of the game. It's not the easier thing to do, but a nudge of the table when you hit an orbit and the ball is near the bumpers will send the ball into the bumpers and hopefully get the multiplier up. I didn't always go for an extra ball. It just depended on how the game is progressing. The electro-blast mission is a way to increase the multiplier. During this mission, hitting the ball up the left orbit always send it into the center lane between the bumpers.

 

I understand your frustration. I went through the same thing. When i got to my breaking point, I'd not play that table for awhile. During one of my breaks from the Ultimo trophy hunt, I got my highest score on the Blade table and also the Wolverine table. As much as I dislike the Ironman table, it made me a better player.

 

To answer your question, I didn't reach him in every game. But in some games, I'd reach him twice in the same game. Some games seem to go flawlessly, while others seems like you loose a ball no matter what you do. When I got a string of bad games, I'd quit and take a break, or play a different table.

 

This trophy gave me lots of trouble. I lost track of how many times i fought Ultimo but it had to be close to 30 times. It took probably the first 15 tries to get a good strategy and to calm down and relax during the fight. I found that a backhand shot up the Party ramp or the Stark Tower ramp worked best for me. I could usually hit that shot and it also directs the ball back down over a letter to activate a kickback. If possible, I'd catch the balls during Ultimo when 3 balls were still on the table.

 

I wish i could be more help. Patience is very important during Ultimo. Wait for a shot you know you can hit. Dont rush it. And whenever possbile, catch the balls with the flipper and regroup and wait on another shot you know you can hit.

Whoa congratulations! All of you here are so good at this game. I havent got any Iron Man trophies, and on other tables I have one (B) per table (except Spidey and Blade I have 2)

 

My record in this is only 8 million, and I never seem to learn it..

 

Thanks!

The most important tip i can give for this table is to always keep the kickbacks activated. As soon as one is used, activate it again, dont wait. The ball tends to be drawn to the outer lanes of the table and kickbacks must be activated. The Stock Market ramp is the easiest one to hit to activate kickbacks.

Exactly,the most important tool against -Ultimo- are the kickbacks.

I know some guy who thinks that you are lucky if the kickbacks saves your ball :whistle: :p;):D:confused: :p But the preparation before the fight,activating the kickbacks its not an easy task,you know what Im talking about,its when pressure and stress start their -wonderful- work.And during the fight,its twice...Oh my god!!!.

 

Congrats again man!!Now its Oskari14 turn :applause: You can do it man!!!

6 hits... http://www.vpforums.org/style_emoticons/default/vava.gifhttp://www.vpforums.org/style_emoticons/default/mega_shok.gif http://www.vpforums.org/style_emoticons/default/tapping.gif

 

He's a tough one!!

I went back to Zen Pinball and downloaded a bunch of tables. I never really played it much before. Its hard getting used to the ball movement on Zen after playing Marvel for so long. The tables on Zen are so much faster and the ball spin is just crazy. So far, I think I'm a bigger fan of Marvel Pinball.

Oskari14 you really deserve this,you never gave up, you always tried,you never said -I wont make it never- instead you were saying -One day I will have this trophy- and this day finally came.Props to you and your effort!!!

 

Now If Zen wants to -fix- this trophy,who cares? you already have it.

Thanks guys! :)

 

I can't describe the happiness when the trophy popped up. First I was like: Did I... Then I shouted like a maniac and I watched my TV screen again. Iron Man shot Ultimo down...

 

How to join 100% club? :D

 

Discoking. You can get it with a lot of practice and PATIENCE.

I'll give you tips that helped me to reach and destroy him:

 

1. Hit the right orbit when you have ball save.

2. Hit the right and left target with left flipper.

3. Restart the game If you are not able to complete at leat 2 missions on your first ball.

4. Hit the party ramp with right flipper and Tower ramp with left flipper.

5. In Ultimo fight, catch the 2 remainig balls and start to juggle.

6. If you fail it, don't play the table anymore in that day.

 

Just remember to take breaks. Even an entire day if you get mad with it. If you were able to destroy dracula, you can make this too. Your turn next. http://www.vpforums.org/style_emoticons/default/tup.gif

thanx for the tips

 

i actually do all those things

 

the one new thing i added to my list of tricks is getting extra balls

 

i shoot the right orbit (easier but can be done on left orbit too)

then shake the joystick when ball is above the bumpers

it increases my multiplier and i've been able to get 1 or 2 extra balls

 

only problem with that is that ultimo is still only 1 try

doesn't matter if you're on ball one or ball 3
