    How to unlock Ultimo

    [Difficulty: Hard] Overview | Discussion

    This is the story mode trophy for the Iron Man table. In order to even begin the Ultimo fight, you will have to first meet all the requirements for the Tony Stark, Living Legend and The Invincible Iron Man trophies in the same game. When those are complete, the battle with Ultimo begins!

    Ultimo will appear in the center of the table, where the large blue circle is. The fight against him is a 4-ball multiball. To defeat Ultimo, you have to hit him 10 times with a flaming ball. To set a ball aflame, hit a ramp. When the ball comes back down, hit Ultimo with it. You have to do it fast, as the fire only lasts for about 10 seconds. To make things even worse, Ultimo will sometimes catch your balls and throw them back at you.

    StOrMtRoOpErMx19 has a number of tips and suggestions for this fight:

    • Master the Vortex Beam mission from The Invincible Iron Man trophy, as this will give you much needed practice for the Ultimo multiball

    • If you are comfortable with 4-ball multiballs, stick with it, but be aware that with Ultimo in the middle of the table, it will be very hard to keep balls in play as he will either deflect or catch them

    • If you aren't comfortable with 4-ball multiballs, let two drain after the ballsave ends and work only with 2 balls - they are easier to manage

    • Catch the balls and observe the cycle of flashing ramps/orbits as well as Ultimo's animations - the same patterns will repeat

    • Focus on hitting the left orbit, Stock Market ramp and Tower ramp - these are the easiest shots to make during the battle

    The only way to fail the fight is to be reduced to one ball or lose your ball entirely. If you fail, everything on the table resets. That's right. You'll have to do all the Tony Stark, Whiplash and Mandarin missions once again to get Ultimo to appear again.

    Overall, don't expect to beat Ultimo the first time you reach him. You'll need a lot of practice and patience to merely reach him.

  • Very difficult trophy. The hardest one to achieve on Marvel Pinball.
  • I agree. I have had this game since day 1 and almost 2 years later I finally did it. Best adive I can give is press both flipper buttons at same time and be quite close to the screen. Dont look at anything else but were the flippers are. Eventually you'll do it but a but of luck is also needed.
