With Our Powers Combined achievement in Evolve

18 1 10

Edit: I was personally able to win a Defense in solo in custom. Evac should be even easier with the 'pity bonus'. See comments for details. If it works for others I'll add it to the guide.

Evacuation is the mode where you play 5 matches in a row.
This achievement requires you to win the final round (Defend) as a Hunter.

The first round is always Hunt.
Rounds 2-4 are up for vote, with 2 choices each.
The choices are always 2 of these 3 game modes - Hunt, Nest, or Rescue.

In defend, you have to make sure the monster doesn't destroy the generator for the ship.
There are 2 other generators the monster has to destroy before he can reach the ship.
The monster gets mini-goliath helpers every so often as well.
The timer starts at 6 minutes, with the monster getting 4 more minutes for each generator it destroys.
The monster starts at level 3.

Here was my strategy:
Make all game settings favor humans.
Difficulty - Favor Hunters
Wildlife Population - Low (makes the monster take longer to regain armor)
Reinforcement Time - 15 (if someone dies they'll only take 15 seconds to spawn)
Strikes - Infinite (revives won't lower your HP)
Perks - On
Mastery - On
Elite Wildlife - Probably doesn't matter. Off to be safe so monster can't buff I guess

I was Hyde - Perk was 10% Damage Boost
Allies were Hank, Caira, and Abe.
Monster was Behemoth. Probably wasn't the best choice but it worked.

They killed my first Generator pretty fast. Kill the first batch of minions then focus on the monster. When it tries to run, switch to Abe and Dome it. When it ran away again (back to the first area), I camped the doorway so I could kill the minions. Whenever the monster would show up again, I'd dome it. I was able to win at the second generator.

This was on New Calico, but I don't know if you can pick the map for Evacuation. The general strat should work anywhere though.

Things of note -
Losing previous rounds in Evacuation causes your team to get a slight bonus, it may honestly be advantageous to lose all four previous rounds just to get an edge in the final battle.
Winning the 4th round will cause your turrets to get stronger, though it doesn't seem to help much. Conversely, if the monster wins round 4, its mini-goliaths get armor.

Hank's missile attack is good for hitting the mini-goliaths and the monster at the same time.
Mines and other AOE are your friend.

just a note - winning round 4 (and all previous rounds) rewarded turrets that do more damage, not more armor for turrets. Not sure if it varies or if just a slight oversight. Regardless, +1 obviously. Just a small note.

Yeah sorry. I forgot the cutscene shows them getting armor but it's really just more damage.

I don't know if the game has been updated or whatever;

But this absolutely cannot be done solo. Everything is such a bullet sponge that it becomes impossible. The minions destroy everything before you can even put a dent in them.

I've tried every combination, including dying all 4 times for the handicap, and I just can't get past this one. Any help?

Same here Cashin. The damn minions do most of the damage & continually come attack 2 at a time.

Does playing in Custom work? You can make the settings laughably in favor of the hunters.

Achievements are still progressing in Custom mode, but it isn't any easier at all. Everything is a bullet sponge, the AI is still dumb as a box of rocks, and your turrets are 100% useless even upgraded.

I got pretty close with Blitz Makarov with a combination of tesla mines and his arc gun, lay the mines in the path, and all 3 will nearly kill both minions.

But then the fucking monster will charge through on a minion wave and then you'll just be standing there unloading your bullets as fast you can reload, doing 10% damage in exchange for 80% generator damage.

Broken game, cannot be done Solo, I hope they cry when they shut down the servers.

Well I just loaded up a Custom Defense and was able to do it solo on my first try. I'd have to imagine in Evacuation with the 'pity bonuses' it'd be even easier.

Here's my setup. If it works for you let me know and I'll add it to the solution.

Make all game settings favor humans.
Difficulty - Favor Hunters
Wildlife Population - Low (makes the monster take longer to regain armor)
Reinforcement Time - 15 (if someone dies they'll only take 15 seconds to spawn)
Strikes - Infinite (revives won't lower your HP)
Perks - On
Mastery - On
Elite Wildlife - Probably doesn't matter. Off to be safe so monster can't buff I guess

Holy shit it worked.

Team comp was good. I followed the guide pretty closely and fought the Kraken. Killed the first and second set of minions and then let the third run wild and just concentrated on downing the monster.

Worked well, I would recommend that strategy.

Add it to the guide! I’m having a much deserved beer.
