The 1.100.000 bonus wizard goal

[Kaoru]

Is it possible that this particular goal is bugged? I got quite a few decent scores out of this table so far, and I feel as if I should have gotten it a couple of times, but I'm not quite sure since it's possible that I just don't quite "get" it.

The way I understand it I have to completely "fill" both bonus meters for this one. 55 plus all the other lamps. But when you do this all the lamps that aren't "55" go blank and they fill all over again. So I suppose I must fill them a few more times until I get the 1.100.000 bonus? But if that's the case how many more times do I have to do this? I'm le confused!

Usually when a goal is bugged on Pinball Arcade it ticks off after you achieved it on your third try (for whatever reason). But I achieved the "full fill" a dozen of times by now and still nothing's happening.

When each sides (blue and green) bonus reach 55,0000, the 55 light goes on and the others turn off, you have to light the 1-10 lights again 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10=55. Once both blue and green have gotten to 55 twice and you have x5 bonus on both sides, then the bonus maxes out to (55,000+55,000x5)+(55,000+55,000x5)=1,100,000

Hint: extra ball = bonus held. This was the only way I was able to get this goal. I would at least try to get to 55 on both sides with my first ball to lock that in since that does not require an extra ball. But with an extra ball, bonus is held on the 1-10 lights whether you've passed 55 or not.

This is exactly what I did plenty of times by now, as mentioned above. But the game just doesn't care.

This was the hardest wizard goal on the Fathom table. My general strategy was to start a 2 ball mulitball using the right lock since it was a much easier shot than the upper lock. When multiball was started I would try to shoot the drop targets and the upper rollovers to increase the bonus. Also, the bonus increases by 2 or 3 per hit if you have 2 or 3 multiball going respectively, so it's very beneficial to always keep multiball going.

The progression of the bonus itself seems to be a bit glitched. You'll notice at several points in the video that the bonus lights just shut off and then when you hit another target they come back on differently. I was never able to figure out what was going on, but eventually it stabilized and I was able to fill them all up.
