How to unlock the Zen 4 achievement

    For the "Zen 4" achievement, you need to make it four minutes in the endurance mode. Basically, this boils down to "don't let the balls all over the table" which is similar to what people say to me about going to fancy restaurants.

    I can't give you a cheat or an indefinite solution, the best I can give you is my advice. If I got this achievement then I'm pretty sure everyone will manage it because when it comes to gaming I'm about as useful as a tranquillised walrus that had it's flippers replaced with bananas.

    - If you're close to a pocket and there's a ball in front of it, it may not be worth the risk. Potting the white ball is never good, you'll lose time while it fishes the ball out of the pocket so if you do hit the white ball into the hole then you may just want to restart.

    - The balls over time begin to change colour, this doesn't mean anything (or at least I don't think it does), other than that they're just changing colours. You can use this as a good indicator to where you are and how far you are in.

    - If you can't pot any of the balls from where you are, try hitting a group of balls that are clustered together, every shot counts and that should separate them.

    - Play with the original table and balls. I found that playing with my own balls (heh) and table decals put me off, due to playing on a table that had a duck on it and the balls being very sore on the eyes after a while. Sticking to the plain old boring decals will make it much easier.

    - Make sure your aiming is on, this can help you see how fast/which way the shot is going to go and can help you make some split second decisions as to where you want to hit the balls and into which pockets.

    Other than that there isn't really much else to say, it's a fairly easy achievement, it's one of the few wherein "practice makes perfect", best of luck!

    From the main menu, select Endurance and make sure that you turn aiming aids off. It doesn't matter what difficulty you play on, you can still unlock this, and the other endurance achievements. So go for Easy, which mainly only affects the speed of which balls drop on your table.

    The aim of endurance mode is to pot balls quicker than new ones appear on your table. You want to only really go for balls that are either near pockets or lined up straight with the cue ball and the pocket. If there is nothing on, try setting up your next pot, rather than going for long hopeful shots that hardly ever come off.

    Every so often you will get a 'Ball Stop Dropper' to use. This will appear on the bottom right of the screen saying push cn_B to use. As indicated, this stops balls appearing on your screen for 15 seconds. You can elect to save this for when your getting close to your limit of 24 on the table, however please note that you don't build up your next ball stopper until you have used your current one.

    If you reach 20 minutes at the Endurance table you will also unlock all the following achievements:
