    This will be a grind, folks. But there is one thing you can do to make it much easier.

    Post-update: With a new drone and a new super added, your total should be 844,000 when you get this achievement if you upgrade all 12 drones / supers). Geoms collected in Ultimate mode and Hardcore mode also count for this achievement.

    Play through Adventure Mode to at least level 10 (Ruby). Completing this level will give you a "collector" drone, which will fly around the level collecting geoms for you, in addition to ones you fly over yourself. For added effectiveness, do not spend any geoms on upgrades until you get this drone. Depending on skill, you might be able to upgrade it two or three times by the time you get it.

    though, don't even worry about grinding it out as you will get a large number of geoms just trying to pull that task off.

    As for the grind itself, that's going to depend on skill and player preference. Keep track in the Adventure mode of which stage you get the highest multiplier on (if you miss it before the game ends, just look at how many geoms you earned in your "bank".) If you've not progressed far through the campaign too far yet, Level 11 (Peanut Dreams) and Level 17 (Rock) are good choices. If you've gotten further along in the campaign, 35 (Endurance), Level 42 (Running in the Family), and Level 49 (Super Sequence) are better options. Again, this will depend on skill, so if you're getting more geoms consistently in another level, go with it.

    Note, despite being a secret achievement, this will show you your progress in the Achievements app. Only geoms collected in adventure mode count, and assuming you've upgraded everything, you should be able to get this achievement when your adventure mode count hits 870,000. (13,000 geoms to fully upgrade each drone / super, 10 drones and supers in total)

    (Thanks to K4rn4ge and Smallywood for suggestions)

    eNixi FiAnyone know if this actually shows up with a percentage complete in the achievement app?

    crashkursAnother fun stage to grind Geoms, in case you wanna change it up every now and then is Stage 13 of the Hardcore levels. You get multiple Super Stages after like 10 seconds if you are fast and I get like around 800 Geoms every minute before I die and restart. :)

    Hi guys,

    I made a video using the last level (49: super sequence) showing how to get a good amount of Geoms in a single run. Hopefully it helps you!

    I found a much easier way with the new update. Set up your Xbox One so that it will not turn off automatically after a period of inactivity. Upgrade the Sweep drone to the maximum and load up Level 49, Super Sequence. Keep the X button pressed using a penny and some tape before you head to bed or work and let this method grind it out for you. I got roughly 1100 geoms every round (always made it past the blues, which is kind of amazing if you watch it). It's very similar to LukaMeraki's method but without any rubber bands and a little bit faster. Make sure your controller is plugged in so it doesn't automatically shut off.

    I finally made a video so you can get a better idea of what I'm talking about:

    staR eXistenZBeautiful and by far the best solution for this grindfest! After 3-starring every level in adventure mode i was left with around 80% for this cheevo, ridiculous but now at least manageable! Thank you very much!
