    How to unlock The Invincible Iron Man

    [Difficulty: Medium] Overview | Discussion

    There are six Whiplash and Mandarin missions on this table. You must complete them all in a single game for the trophy to pop. They will be enabled randomly when you start a mission.

    START A MISSION
    The first step for each mission is to start it. In the center of the table, between the Tower and Party ramps, are three drop targets. Hit all three to gain access to the Mission Hole behind them. Hit the Mission Hole to start a mission – an incomplete mission will be randomly assigned to you. The missions are listed at the bottom center of the table, just above the flippers.

    COMPLETE EACH MISSION
    Each mission has different requirements, which are detailed below. If you lose the ball while any of the missions are active, the mission will automatically fail. Once you complete a mission, its name will light up on the table.

    Thanks to 75thDeadMan, DiscoKing, Mammouth, Oskari14 and StOrMtRoOpErMx19 for details and tips on these missions.

    • Mandarin Flame Blast
      You'll just need to hit the same three drop targets in front of the Mission Hole, just as if you're starting a mission. You only have 20 seconds to hit one, though. Once you hit one, the counter resets to 20 seconds. When all three have dropped, hit the Mission Hole within 20 seconds. At this point holes will appear at the base of both orbits and all ramps except for the Science ramp – five in total. Two cannons will appear from just above the bottom flippers – use a flipper button to shoot the currently lit hole with the cannon. Use the left flipper for the left cannon, right for right. If you hit it you'll get 100K points, the cannon will reload and a different hole will be lit. If you miss or hit an unlit hole, the ball will return to the field of play and you'll need to use the normal flippers to hit the lit hole. Once all five lit holes have been hit, the mission will be complete.

    • Mandarin Impact Beam
      In this one you just need to shoot each ramp and orbit once. All six will be flashing when the mission starts and when you hit one it will stop flashing. You have about 90 seconds between successful flashing ramp hits before the mission automatically fails. Once you hit all six, the drop targets in front of the Mission Hole will drop and the hole will flash. Hit the hole to end the mission.

    • Whiplash Attack
      Here you need to shoot the flashing lanes to attack Whiplash. You need to hit a total of six. There will be three lanes flashing at any one time, and you'll need to hit one of the three within 10 seconds. When the 10 seconds are up, three different lanes will be flashing and the counter resets. This mission will not end unless you complete the mission or lose you ball – there is no overall time limit. So the easiest way to pass the mission is to hold the ball and wait until a lane you can easily hit is lit, then go for it.

    • Mandarin Vortex Beam
      This is probably the toughest one to complete. It's a 4-ball multiball and your task is to hit every ramp and orbit, similar to Mandarin Impact Beam. Balls will be relaunched for about 30 seconds, and then once you lose one, it's gone for good. The hardest ramp to hit here is the Science ramp, as you need to hit it from the upper left flipper after hitting either the right orbit or the Tower ramp. Doing this while trying to keep another ball in play can be tough.

      Tip: There is an easy way to hit the Science ramp right at the beginning. Since ballsave is enabled for the beginning of the mission, just let all the balls drain when the multiball starts. They will all relaunch around the orbit and go right by the upper left flipper - shoot the Science ramp immediately from there, then continue with the multiball and the rest of the ramps/orbits (thanks DiscoKing for the tip).

      Once you've hit all ramps and orbits, the Mission Hole will open. You'll need to lock your remaining balls in this hole to complete the mission. It's not that easy, though - Mandarin will start a twister/vortex in the middle of the table, which can alter your ball's trajectory. So be careful and time your shots to the Hole carefully.

      If you are reduced to one ball during any part of the mission, you will fail the mission.

    • Mandarin Electro-blast
      This one starts with 3 flashing ramps: left orbit, Tower ramp and Science ramp. Once you hit all three, you'll have 60 seconds to increase your energy level. You do this by hitting either orbit and hitting the bumpers in the upper left of the table (under the Tower ramp). This can be a little tricky because you'll go right past the bumpers if you hit the ball into the orbit too hard – you'll need to hit it lighter. The more you hit the bumpers the higher your level goes, as soon on the dotmatrix. Once the gauge is completely full, the mission will be complete.

    • Whiplash and Mandarin
      First thing you need to do is hit three flashing lanes to activate the cannon. The flashing lanes will always be the two orbits and the Science ramp. Once you hit them, holes will open up in the Stock Market and Party ramps. Hit one of them to load the cannon. Once loaded, the perspective will change to that of the cannon and you'll need to hit Whiplash. Press a flipper button to release the ball when the top of the cannon is right at the center of the target – only the top half of the target should be showing (thanks 75thDeadMan for the tip).

      To complete the mission you need to hit Whiplash three times with the cannon. After each successful hit a ball is relaunched from the left orbit and you just need to follow the same process as above. There is no time limit during any part of this mission - the only way to fail it is to lose your ball.
