Williams Pinball Universal Monsters™ Pack on October 29!

[DorkmasterFlek]

Okay I'm trying to get these modes started before starting the Frankenstein multiball now. That feature of stopping the timers during multiball is very useful! These seems to be giving me more progress towards actually getting Monsters of Rock, I got half the instruments easily on my first attempt last night.

So the other thing I'm wondering about is backhanding the Creature shot with the left flipper. I should point out I play mostly in standard single player (Zen physics mode) cause I like the powerups and it's more forgiving. I've seen people do this in videos/streams by nudging the table to get the ball towards the center of the left flipper after catching it, but I haven't been able to replicate that yet. I'm not sure if this is possible with the Zen physics?

It's impossible to backhand Creature just from a trap, but it's possible backhanding from the tip in its up position.

It's impossible to backhand Creature just from a trap, but it's possible backhanding from the tip in its up position.

I've been able on Classic Arcade to consistently backhand both Creature on MB and KISS on CftBL. The easiest way to do it is to hard nudge diagonally to the left like I do in the two examples - CftBL at 8min58s and MB at 29s, but I have also been able to do it from a trap just by softly triggering the flipper so that the ball get enough momentum to move far enough out on the flipper so that you can do the backhand (will upload an example when I'm back home). At various times, the ball also through normal play roll high enough up the flipper so that I can attempt a backhand (CftBL at 30s).

I haven't been able to do it so consistently on any of the other Volumes or packs so it is great!

Yay! Well done! It is an awesome achievement to get as it also automatically mean once you reach Monsters of Rock that you get a big score boost from the wizard mode.

Here is another tip for Monster Bash - Frankenstein multiball can be much more lucrative if you have other modes started at the same time because once you complete a mode (get the instrument) on its own or during a multiball, there is a reward period where you can get big points i.e. the lanes are lit up. The one that seems to be worth the most is The Bride of Frankenstein because you get something like 3 times the value up the ramp during the reward period than what you got for a shot up the ramp during the mode. So, as long as you keep the multiball going, that will end up giving you big points! That is why in the end I defaulted to starting at least The Bride before starting Frankenstein and most of the times I also start Wolfman, but only if he was close already by the time I have the bride ready and Frankenstein open. Dracula also gets in the way of the ramp or the loop, so I don't like to have him activated at the same time as Bride and Wolfman.

Thanks! Yeah, that was obviously a personal best for me getting that for the first time lol. I think my final score was 530 million and change iirc.

I find CftBL just brutal in arcade mode. Similarly, Whitewater in any mode & Gone Fishing too have me wishing for an operators mode, ball draining madness. I'm usually ranking in in the 200's on Zen games.

Monster Bash has taken me right back to when I first fell in love with it via Pinball Arcade; now it's the first table I couldn't resist buying on PFX3 and I'm head over heels all over again--and it's such a lovely version! Whew! Fantastic work by Zen on this one, and the tournament table set-up option makes its "one more quarter" compulsion all that much greater. ^_^

 

[HighFive]

Really loving those tips for Monster Bash. Really love it, but suck at it!

 

[HighFive]

Ok. I really need to practice this one, best i can do is 180 millions, using rewinds *cough*. One note, jesus the Zen effect for Monster Bash are amazing! Best table to date!

No, idea why you can't see my scores because I can see other Switch players that I know. I just managed to increase my score again so my strategy is definitely working. Unfortunately it does not work for Single Player because you can't live catch the ball on the right flipper.

In this tips & strategy video for Pinball FX3, Creature from the Black Lagoon, I explain the strategy I used for my 6.4 billion Classic Arcade game. I further show alternative strategies, and the differences, of which one is major, that makes Classic Single Player more difficult.

I'm firmly of the opinion, like with White Water, that Classic Single Player is actually harder than Classic Arcade because you can't control the balls as well during multiball. What is your experience with this?

Please let me know what you think of my strategy and the video and if you have any suggestions and I'll gladly see what I can do for my next video.
