Audiosurf 2 – Puzzle Master Achievement Guide

The absolute easiest way to get the Puzzle Master achievement for Audiosurf 2. I personally found this achievement to be pretty daunting, so here is a quick work-around without having to ‘get good’.

序章

This guide will not require you to be an Audiosurf2 GOD. しかし, we will be editing the game files to reach our common goal, PUZZLE MASTER! I assure you this is very easy and earning this achievement should take ~5mins or less to complete.

The text in itself is a bit misleading… to earn the achievement you need one burst of points at or greater than 150,000.

In this guide we will be editing the POINTMAN puzzle mode. If you’ve never played the pointman puzzle mode, the simplest explanation is that you collect like-colors in groups and you get points for it.

**Non-color WHITE blocks will instantly give you points if you collect them on your grid in a column that is completely empty.**

Understanding this is crucial to what we will be doing here. 通常, collecting white blocks on an empty column grants you +1500 ポイント. We will be changing the value for this in the game files to achieve the 150000 point burst required.

ゲームファイルの編集

Locate Audiosurf2 in your steam library. Right-click to open the drop menu and select properties. In the newly opened window click on Local files and then on Browse. This will open the location of the Audiosurf2 game files.

From there you will want to open the folder ‘mods’ and then the folder ‘pointman’. Your path should look like the following.

Once you’ve gotten to this point, there is a ‘.LUA’ file named pointman. It may be visualized as ‘pointman.lua’. It is the only LUA file in the folder so don’t worry if you think you may have the wrong one. Right click the pointman lua file and open it with notepad or similar editor and you should see the following.

The line we will be editing is ‘defaultPointsPerWhite = 1500’. As shown highlighted in the above picture, its located fairly close to the top of the editor.

Simply add two ’00’s at the end of this statement so that it now shows ‘defaultPointsPerWhite = 150000’. Once you’ve changed the value, ファイル -> 保存, before closing the window.

Earning the Achievement

Now all that’s left is getting the achievement!

Open the game and use any skin or song that you wish.

Make sure you are on the correct pointman mode under ‘Puzzle League Modes’ and not some workshop variation.

Play whatever song you’ve chose and try to dodge any color blocks, keeping an eye out for a white block. Collect a white block while your grid/column is empty and you will be given that sweet sweet +150,000 score pop and instantly awarded with the achievement, おめでとうございます!

There is no need to finish the song. I highly recommend to end the song after the achievement pops and before the song concludes so that your score is not uploaded to the song leaderboards.

Exit to main menu, exit the game and follow the guide again to revert the changes we made earlier back to its original value.
