Ben 10 Alien Force is a kids game so naturally it is easier than most games. You can easily get about 620 points by the end of the first level. The only reason I am giving it a two is because there are a couple of puzzles that would really stump you unless you know the solution. If you ever get stuck, there is great video guide here by ASHfire06. They are for the PSP but the puzzles are the same.

The bosses are easy to work out and there's even a trick to defeating the last few bosses without button bashing. Once you unlock Echo Echo, use in him in most fights and especially on last level as there are four bosses. Pushing RT will release a clone(s) and all you have to do is run around avoiding the bosses attacks while your clones attack the boss from behind. I was able to  finish most fights in three minutes using this method including the last boss, Vilgax.

There are only thirty collectables in the whole game. Unfortunately one of them is glitched and also the worst kind of glitch. The one where some people get it while others are fine. The collectible can get stuck in a wall and the only probable solution is to delete your save and replay the whole six levels again. Which I did and thankfully worked. What I did was to pick up the badge BEFORE the auto-save triggers. As soon as you climb the ramp, it triggers, so stay at the bottom and do your Sonic Scream from there. Not too sure if this why it worked, but worth a shot.

 

 

ACHIEVEMENT GUIDE

 

 

Repo Man - 30 points

Destroy 15 cars in Bellwood

 

You could probably get this quite easily if it wasn't slightly glitched. I ended up smashing around 25 cars before it popped. Just go around smashing cars in the first level using Humongousaur as there are more than fifteen cars in the level. If you are still short in the end, there are three cars you can keep smashing while going for the character kills. See Brain Power achievement below.

 

 

Brain Power - 50 points

Destroy 150 enemies with Brainstorm

 

There are eleven characters including Ben and you get 50 points each (60 for Ben)for destroying 150 enemies with each character. You can get them all in the first level as you actually have all ten characters available.

This can all be done at the end boss fight. The boss fight comes after use Spidermonkey to climb three pipes to reach a rooftop.  When you reach the top, do not destroy the power box yet as the enemies keep respawning. Just go through each character and you should be done in about an hour. It doesn't matter if you die as the game will still count your kills.

If those rockets are annoying, just hold your ground on the top right as they cannot reach you there and the enemies will come to you.

If you are still short of cars for the Repo Man achievement, just die after every character and you will end up at the bottom again. There are about three cars Humongousaur can destroy in this area. Then go back to the rooftop.

Protector of Earth - 30 points

Complete Bellwood

 

You will get this once you have defeated the last boss on this level. To easily defeat the last boss Mr.Smoothy (big slurpee) use Echo Echo and clone yourself a couple of times. All you have to do is now just avoid his attacks while your clones attack him. Should be over in less than two minutes.

 

Trash Compactor - 30 points

Complete Vulpin

 

Some people I know have trouble with the two-headed snake boss in this level. Just shoot them with Swampfire fireballs when they open their mouths. This achievement will pop once you defeat the Vreedle Brothers at the end. An easy way is to make sure their attacks are turned to each other. This will daze them and give you plenty of time to punch in a few whacks.

Charmed - 30 points

Complete Terradino

 

You fight Charmcaster here at the end and she has a very set pattern. Knock down the pillars with Humongousaur by pulling the rings and then smack her a couple of times to get her health down.

 

 

Power Outage - 30 points

Complete Encephalonus IV

 

Here is the solution to  the first 11110000 puzzle should you get stuck.

 

 

 

Do it in this order.

Select A - Board clears

Select B, B, B, B (each B) - Board clears.

Now Select A, B, B, B, B. - Boards clears.

And the second one.

 

 

B, B, B, B, C, C - Board clears

B, D, B, B, D, B - Board clears

E, E, E, E - Board clears.

You fight Darkstar at the end. Bit tricky but just spam a lot Flaming Fists when you are near him and it will take a good chunk of his health.

 

 

Freaked Out! - 30 points

Complete Anur Phaetos

 

Use Gloop for the boss fight and bash when are near those light emitters. As soon as you bash them, attack Ghostface. Takes a good amount of his health while you are near the emitters.

 

 

Chili Fries!!! - 30 points

Complete MorOtesi

 

Boss fight : You fight Albedo Ben and very, very easy if you use Echo Echo. Just run around avoiding his attacks while your clones attack him from behind and it will be over in three minutes.

 

Check this video below. It is for the PSP but same strategy. Credit goes to ASHfire06 for the video.

 

 

 

 

 

Voided D'Void - 30 points

Complete Null Void

 

 

D' Void is your boss here at the end. The cut scene just before the fight selects you to use Big Chill, as you need him to ice down his power modules. Do so, but then quickly change to Echo Echo as his clones can take a good wedge of health off D'Void making the fight much easier.

Protector of the Galaxy - 60 points

Complete all Levels

 

You will unlock this once you kill the last boss. You do not have to play those flying sequences to unlock this, so skip them if you want to.

The last level sees you back at Bellwood. There are actually four boss fights in this level but don't worry. If you want the level to finish in fifteen minutes or so, just use Echo Echo and these bosses are over in two minutes.

 

The end boss is also pretty simple enough. When Vilgax raises his yellow energy shield, let him ram into those pink red glowing chambers. This will damage him and lower his shield and you will also pick up health. Best to use Echo Echo again and make it easy for yourself.

 

Now, it's Hero Time! - 30 points

Fully Upgrade All 10 Alien Forms

 

When you kill enemies, you will earn upgrade points. This is kind of automated upgrading as once you clear certain areas, the game will inform you of an upgrade. Don't worry about it too much as you can't progress through the game until you clear the area of enemies anyway, so keep playing and during the second to last level (Null Void) you will get your final upgrade and the achievement will pop.

Primus Link Reestablished - 30 points

Unlock All 10 Alien Forms

 

Except for the first level where you begin with all 10 Alien Lifeforms, you will receive an new Alien Lifeform after a level. The last lifeform to unlock will be Jet Ray and you will unlock him during "Null Void", after selecting him to fly down to a rock platform. Can't really be missed.

 

DNAided - 40 points

Achieve Maximum Health by Collecting 15 Red Plumber Badges

 

There's only 15 RED BADGES in the whole game to find and they are not really that hard to find. Follow the collectible guide at the end and don't worry if you miss any as you can use level select and replay any levels where you might have missed any badges. Annoyingly the chapter select doesn't tell you which ones you missed though! Refer to Collectible Guide on bottom tab.

Note : The last two levels do not have any badges to collect.

 

Omni-tricked Out! - 40 points

Achieve Maximum Energy by Collecting 15 Green Plumber Badges

 

There's only 15 GREEN BADGES and they are also not too hard to find. Follow the collectible guide at the end and don't worry if you miss any as you can use level select and replay any levels where you might have missed any badges. Unfortunately one green badge is glitched.  I have a solution to the glitched badge but it involves deleting your save and re-playing the whole six levels. Replaying just the level doesn't seem to work.

Not too sure if this affected the badge but what I did was to pick up the badge BEFORE the auto-save triggers. As soon as you climb the ramp, it triggers, so stay at the bottom and do your Sonic Scream from there to be safe. Refer to the collectible guide on bottom tab.

BEN 10 COLLECTIBLE BADGE GUIDE

 

BELLWOOD

 

1. When you enter an area with Humongousaur you will get a message that you will need to find a way to cut the power. The first green badge is on top of a electrical box, across the street. Use Spidermonkey to jump the fence.
2. The first red is on a ledge next to the power box you need to smash. Use Spidermonkey to climb the drain pipe.
3. After you pass the crater in the road, you will see a blue force field on your right, a point of interest if you click your LT. You need to head through there to progress. Before doing so, head straight ahead defeat some enemies and turn left into an alleyway. There will be your second green upgrade. Use Spidermonkey again to grab it.
4. This next one is easily missed. After you enter the building with Humongosaur , you will defeat some enemies and enter a elevator. Don't go into the empty elevator yet! Instead use Humongousaur to force open the closed elevator door on your right. Use Spidermonkey to climb down the pipe and grab the second red upgrade.
5. After the second corridor with blue laser beams, you will enter a room down some stairs that needs a block pushed onto a pressure plate. Push the block then reach the red upgrade on the platform.

 

VULPIN

 

1. After you use Spidermonkey to shimmy across a pipe, you will defeat some enemies. Look to your left is power box you need to smash. The green upgrade is behind the box.
2. Once you kill the two head snake boss, there will be a red upgrade where the snake boss head was. Use Cannonbolt to jump the ramp to get to the tunnel to reach it. I used Big Chill to fly over the toxic slime afterwards, if you are having trouble.
3. After you use Swampfire's Fireball to destroy objects to make platforms to jump across the toxic slime, you will reach an area with a blue laser beam. Look right and you will see a green upgrade.
4. After using Cannonbolt to do a really big jump, you will get to an area with platforms in the center that open up. Jump across the platforms and look to your left you will see a red upgrade. You will have to jump over some toxic slime coming out of pipes to reach it.
5. You will eventually get to a room with a wave of enemies. Look right when you enter and you will see it. This is the room where you use Cannonbolt to spin and break the machines.

 

TERRADINO

 

1. After gliding down for the first time using Big Chill, look behind and you will see a red upgrade on a rock in the middle of the stream.
2. When you get to a door with vines blocking the way, use Swampfire to burn off the vines. Then use Big Chill to glide down to your left to pick up a red upgrade.
3. When you use Humongousaur to place a stone cube on a plate, you then use Swampfire to burn the vine again off a door. After you go through, stright in front of you is a pink flower with a green upgrade behind it.
4. After the room with a spinning stone dragon puzzle, you will fight some enemies then go down some stairs . In the next room use Cannonbolt to spin inside the circle to open the doors. Just beyond the door is another set of doors with a green upgrade you will see briefly. Go through the first doors then use Humongousaur to force open the second doors for the green upgrade.
5. The last red upgrade is in the room where you have to push the huge stone block on pressure plates to stop spikes from the ceiling crushing you. You  will see it on your right when you enter. Bit tricky but take your time and you'll be fine.

 

 

ENCEPHALONUS

 

1. Before you open the door with Brainstorm, glide down to the platform on your right using Big Chill to reach the a green upgrade. Then use Spider-monkey to sling web shot back to the platform.
2. After using Brainstorm to solve some puzzle, you will go outside and fight some enemies. Use Cannonbolt to spin the ramp around but spin all the way to the right. You should see a red upgrade on another platform.
3. This one is easily missed. In the room where you use Brainstorm to direct the laser beams, direct the beam first to left door. There is red upgrade behind the door.Tip from BigBEEEE12: If you open the wrong door you have to play the level over. So to clear up what to do I'd like to throw in what I did. When you first enter ther room you will see the a big movable cube on the right from the computer. After the beam is engaged push the block with humongosaur between the beams and relflect it off the mirrors to the door. The door you want is the left most locked door. After you reflect the beams over near the door use Brainstorm to reflect the final beam to open the door. It should open and viola!
4. Near the end of the very long pipe climb by Spidermonkey, there will be a platform where you can see a door slightly open. Use Humongousaur to force it open to find a green upgrade
5. After you defeat some enemies, you will come outside to a rocky area where you have use multiple Spidermonkey sling web shots. Use the left shots first that will take you to a rock ledge with a green upgrade. Also remember to sling shot back the way you came as you cannot sling shot from the rock ledge to the platform in front.

 

ANUR PHAETOS

 

1. After you take your first wind ride up, look behind you. There is a red upgrade in a green orb guarded by spikes.
2. After you make a rock bridge using three pressure pads, cross it to find a green upgrade inside an orb.
3. Once you get past some red whirlwinds, you have to glide past them, you'll land on a floating platform. Look and hop to your right for a red upgrade in a green orb.
4. There will be two tunnel runs with Cannonbolt. On your second tunnel there will be a fork in the tunnel and a red upgrade on the left tunnel. You can't really miss this as there is an arrow pointing to the left anyway.
5. After you exit the tunnel , you will reach some floating platforms. Jump all the way to the right for a green upgrade.

 

MOROTESI

 

1. When you reach an area, you will be instructed to use Echo Echo Sonic Scream. Do so and underneath one of the ice crystals is a red upgrade.
2. After you fight a group of enemies, you will use Chromastone to ride a lift down. When you reach the rock platform, look behind and you will see a green upgrade on a rock ledge. Jump to it and then use the lift to take you back up.
3. Now we come to the infamous glitched upgrade. After you enter underground you will eventually pass a drill bit drilling. Force open a door then fight some enemies. Go up the ramp and on your left is the green upgrade inside an ice  crystal. This badge glitched for me and countless others as the the badge gets stuck in the wall. I managed to get in the end on a second playthrough. Not sure if this affects it but I picked up the badge BEFORE the auto-save triggers. As soon as you climb the ramp, it triggers, so stay at the bottom and do your Sonic Scream from there. Not too sure if this why it worked, but worth a shot.
4. Eventually you will get to a part of the tunnel where you use Echo Echo to clone itself on a pressure pad so it can disable the force field. Disable it then look left. The green upgrade is inside an ice crystal and use sonic scream to break it.
5. After Humongousaur breaks down two barricades of rock, you will enter a large area with lots of enemies. The last red upgrade is at the back left of this area.
