Well I was just scrolling trough the achievements in Spore and I came across this one,
"Epic Killer.
Kill an epic in creature stage"
Has anyone managed to achieve this one and how did you go about it?

I've killed an epic in the tribe, civ and space stages, but creature? I didn't even think you could do damage to them in creature stage.

I've killed one but it didn't give me the achievement...what I did was lure it to my nest, then use spit level 5 on it continuously. The other 3 creatures in my pack attacked it with bite 5 or something and it didn't even kill one of us.
anyway, thats how I did it, i know its possible to kill one.

I gave one a 'good fight'. My pack consisted of me and three Rogue creatures I had befriended for some good firepower to try to take one down (all pretty much max level).

I got it down from about 1000 hp to, oh, 700 or so. It was by far the best I've ever done, but it wasn't even close. All epics seem to have a special 'stomp' attack that causes instant death when they use it, regardless of your HP.

I haven't tried it myself, but it is mentioned in the Prima strategy guide (yeah, I went out and bought it - gives me something to read between classes ). They suggest using a spitter weapon to keep hitting it from a distance. Also be sure to have a full pack, and try to include a Rogue creature in your pack as well, as they are more powerful than normal allies. These are the ones seen occasionally running about alone. Like I said, I haven't done it, so I'd love to hear if anyone has succeeded in this and if the "official" strategy works.

Oh i see, I had tried level 5 spit on it too, but not at my nest only with my pack.
Maybe I'll try your way, how long did it take the epic to die?

This is the usual way, yes. Unfortunately, you won't get the achievement if another creature lands the killing blow.

There seems to be a bug where if you're on your nest, you don't get hurt by them. Chances are you also don't get an achievement if you do it that way. You might try luring it near allied creatures and see if they'll help attack it once you get it attacking you. I know I've seen creatures I've tried to kill run over to an ally's nest and suddenly they all charged out at me.

What you do is, wait for it to get to about 50 health, then lure it away. If you shoot it, it'll turn to attack you, and once you get a certain distance from your nest, the others will leave it alone. You'll have to play tag with it for a while to finish it off, but as long as you use objects like big trees or rocks to block its path, you should be okay.

Maxed-Spit, stealth (any level), and herbivore/omnivore. Optional: maxed-speed and sprint.

Strategy: spit, run backwards, stealth when they're near (they CAN't detect stealth). Get distance, eat up, continue. Try to get some obstacles between you and the epic. Try to fight non-jumping epics.

I lured one to my nest full of Lvl 5 spitters one time - where it proceeded to stomp them all to death in a matter of seconds.

I ran around spitting at it for a long time after that, but was in danger of starving to death looong before his HP got low. They heal really fast too.

Yeah..I can't imagine trying to do it without being at least an omnivore. The only reason I lasted long enough to kill it was that I could stop for fruit every once in a while.

I tried a stand-up fight with three rogues in my pack, and it still didn't work. (700-800 hp left, usually)
I noticed that this particular epic at least would occasionally go over to a nearby nest and pick up a creature. While holding the creature, it won't attack. So I and my pack waited for it to pick something up, then charged in. We got it to about 500 before it threw what it was holding and 1 or 2 shot my rogue buddies.

So yes, spitting with a herbivore/omnivore is about the only reliable way to take one down. It is also possible to use level 5 jump/glide to get above it and start attacking then get away repeatedly (sneak helps) but as it's possible for epics to one-shot you while you're about 15 feet above them, this is fail-prone.

For Spode's sake, doesn't anyone check more than 1 page back? Yes, a lot of people, [url=http://www.spore.com/view/achievements/Erzengel]including me[/url], have killed epics. I killed my first by drawing it to another epic (or more accurately, I ran like a bat out of the location with much fire and brimstone, and ended up near another epic, where I went "OH ^&*#!"), and the two of them got into a fight over which got to eat me, which resulted in the Brekin being killed by the Veloceraptor, and the Veloceraptor having only 100 health. I then proceeded to Spit 5 it to death.

It's easier to rely on sneak than the jump-glide (just sneak whenever they're somewhat close, don't take risks). Sprinting backwards is also faster than an epic on foot, though I think jumping/gliding epics may be fast enough to catch a sprinting backwards creature. Because epics never seem to ever detect stealth, you can safely feast on bushes near them if you can't find any nearby... so long as there aren't any other meddlesome busybody creatures. (there's a big lumbering epic, and you want to reveal who's that guy distracting it?)

as long as you keep a mouth of both plant eating and meat eating on your creature from the cell stage, it doesnt really matter what you are, you will always be able to eat both plants and meat

i.e. you finish cell stage as a carnivore and can only get new carnivore mouths in creature, but leave your super early herbivore mouth on your creature somewhere random

"Pull" the epic creature to your nest or a conquered/allied nest.

I killed 3 Epic creatures, one of them I would have soloed if my hunger bar could stay intact. Keep in mind some epic creatures suck at dealing damage, but have a ton of HP. Those are the easy ones. You dont want to fight a creature that will kill you in one blow (like some epics out there). Use the lookup feature to find out how much attack points the creature has.

I also killed an epic creature in tribal stage.. but it took out 7 or 8 of my units before it went down. They provide your tribe with a TON of food.

In creature stage you can use the same tactic for those crazy scorpion-like creatures that are going on rampages all over the place. The almost-epic ones.

It's doable. Many of the strats have already been posted. Here are the key ones I've seen:

1. Use the healing power of your nest and the firepower of your nest-mates (if they have good attacks) to gang up on it. Make sure your own avatar does not get killed, though.

2. Kite with a fast flier/sprinter/spitter.

3. Use terrain as a blocker while you have ranged damage.

Easy to kill them - just get them trapped behind some trees (what I did), and spit. No need to eat anything in the battle (when you have more than 100 HP total), because you will never get close to dying.

I did it totally by accident the other day. There was a big flying blue one that had been terrorizing my nest since I started creature. His path passed our nest at least 2 times in his rounds. On one of the passes, for some reason, none of my guys died while we were fighting him. So after I spawned again, I ran in behind him, and started in with everything I had. Took about 3-4 minutes (I think). I would imagine if you had access to a full pack of ally or random critters in your pack, and a nest full of NPC's you could do it significantly faster.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Sredni — GMT

I killed 2 epics before I got the achievement, both just by luring them to a home nest and having my nestlings go nuts while I was also attacking. He turned and killed me every once in a while but I was always able to hatch out of a new egg in time to continue the attack before he ran off.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Freezdried — GMT

You actually don't even need terrain to block the epic if you decide to take it down with a spitting attack. All you have to do is:

1. Go solo! (your posse will just rile the big lug up and get killed, and then it will come after you!)

2. Approach from a distance, and spit. You will automatically start spitting at the maximum distance.

3. Make sure you are an omnivore or herbivore, and make sure there is a food plant nearby (but farther from the Epic than you are). When you get hungry, just turn around and take a nibble.

4. Keep doing this for like a half-hour or so, and the Epic will fall.

If you keep spitting from max distance, the Epic will not chase you. He'll just stand there and take the beating. He won't run away either, as long as you keep spitting at him.

BTW, people have said that you should have the ability to fly in order to take down an Epic. While not exactly true, it is hilarious to see an epic snatch you out of the air and toss you around! (you don't automatically die, the way you do if the Epic stomps on you)

I did exactly that to get the achievement. Luckily the epic (an odd looking human thing) was near a rock formation so i simply used Level 5 Spit on it to lure it towards the rocks, and holed up in there spitting at is as it couldn't reach me in the formation.

Took long enough, but was easy when I found the right strategy.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

BoogieMan1980 — GMT

All but 1 of the epics I've ran across could one-shot Rogue creatures. The other was a herbavore, and it took 2 or 3 tops hits to kill a Rogue, if I recall.

Seems to me overall, either you kill a deliberately weak epic critter, or exploited some kind of pathing/stuck issue - essentially didn't really kill it so much as exploit something. How could you otherwise kill something that seems to not even really have to hit you, just kinda twitch in your general direction. I've pounded on one with a powerful group while it was attacking another nest and it was still no contest.. Standing out of reach and using spit for an hour doesn't seem like it's a worthy way to win either.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

pminion — GMT

My Sligamede were specifically engineered to take down an epic, and succeeded.

Key stats for this:

Spit 5 - Spit may not look like it hits for much, but it's a DoT attack. Those little ticks of health really add up, as long as the epic doesn't get to feed
Stealth 5 - So you've been backed into a wall, the Epic is furious at you, and wants to tear your scrawny neck off? Just tap the Z key and run for it. Stealth 5 is ONLY available from feet. As such, the Sligamede has been given 5 legs, 2 of them paired. The hind feet provide this level of stealth.
Jump 5 and Glide 5 - Jump 5 comes from the most advanced of the frog feet, so I added a lone leg just for this ability. Combined with Glide 5, you can remain aloft for very long stretches of time. At the same time, you can spit at the epic from flight, avoiding any sort of reprisal the epic may have in mind
Speed 5 - Sometimes you just have to make a lot of distance between yourself and the epic, With speed 5, you can back off continuously, so long as you don't run into a wall
Herbivore (or Omnivore) - Fight in an area abundant with fruit. When you get hungry, hit stealth and grab a quick meal, but don't take too long or the epic will go find something to munch on and heal as well!

Pick your epic victim WISELY! Flying epics are a royal pain to actually take down, because they'll often resort to their incredible flight abilities to run off if they're stuck in a losing battle. Stick with a grounded epic if you can help it. While you may be able to run through the entire creature stage without seeing even a single epic, I've found there are often several on your continent if you take the time to go looking for them.

Fighting unfair: Maybe it was just luck for me, but the epic I took down was incredibly lazy. So lazy, in fact, that it didn't feel like trying to claw over some tiny little foothills to fight back. I ended up trapping him behind a tree on a sharp peninsula at around 300 HP left. It was then just a matter of spitting my little heart out until he finally fell over.

Too bad I was an herbivore, though. Bananagrinz may have "banana" in his name, but a fruit he is not! *vomits*

Glory5641 — GMT

I killed one.

I used a carnivore with Spit Level 5, and Health Level 5 (I had 104 HP). I attacked it then had it follow me until it got stuck behind a rock. Then I kept attacking while safely behind the rock. Took me about an hour, and guess what...It didn't register the achievement.

Iradest — GMT

I killed an epic after many attempts... Mine was glitchy and I actually was awarded the achievement YAY!! Anyway my tactic was easy. Although flukey. I just added level five spit. Then ran backwards over a little bump in the ground, then the epic stopped. Right in front of me too, so I just stood there and spat at him. And where I was there were three or four fruit trees. Never moved the whole time. Except to eat. Only took me 15 minutes.

If you don't care about dying and have the "flock" power (blue I seem to remember from cell) lure an epic to your nest, attack die, flock attack, die, repeat. This will soon kill an epic.

very good combat states, level 4 or 5 speed, a wing will help. be an omnivore, use the extra pack members giltch, try to get as much rouges as possble. then use your superpower to get the little creatures with you, and lure the epic to your nest. attack the epic

"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Jackuul — GMT

I've killed about four or five now. I usually do it without causalities by luring it to the home nest. Everyone attacks it, and it gets confused. Thus, it never strikes back, and ends up dying fairly quickly.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

demonbuddy — GMT

I've pretty much killed at least one epic in creature stage with every creature that I've played. I've killed 5 of them in one creature stage! Most strageties listed here work. Leading it to your home nest is the best chance (and the fastest). If you see an epic, and there is a nearby nest of your pack, go make that nearby nest your home nest (if you hold the cursor over the nest, you'll see the icon turn to a little house, and then click on it to change your home nest). Then drag the creature to your home nest (spitting from distance is the best way, but you CAN just get near enough to him that he sees you, and then run). The other pack mates at your nest can act as a moving wall, and if you die, just pound the out of the escape key so you respawn before the epic runs off (or worse yet, heals). If you are an omnivore and can summon flock, use this repeatedly (it'll recharge every time you die). BUT, if you lead the creature to your home nest, make sure to save often during the battle, and especially when the epic is low on hit points (zoom out to see his health bar). If you don't get credit because a nest member killed him, reload.

Getting the epic trapped on stuff and killing him with spit is the surest way to get credit. Even with a level 5 spit, it can take thirty minutes. Most of your maps will have monoliths (like Stonehenge) where you can get inside and he can't ever get in.

Oh, if you have used any cheats prior to this point, you probably won't get the badge. You big cheater.

Beating an epic is much like playing I Wanna Be The Guy, it seems impossible but it's more a matter of extreme patience and hoping the AI fails utterly and snags on something.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

MrLuso — GMT

Here is me and my Mavinko killing an epic (BTW Mavinko is not yet in Sporepedia). You just need a spiting creature and find a way to make the epic don't approach you, you can do this by fleeing to the wierd shaped stones (you know, those who are not normal stones) and the epic can't come close enough to kill you. I heard some people did this with trees too, so it may work that way. It is incredible that you only get 100 dna points for killing it.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46AvF9P8KqU[/youtube]

When the image freezes I was saving, as I didn't know if my creature would die by starving before I kill it. After that the sound becomes delayed...

Edit: Actually this is not the final Mavinko I will upload to Sporepedia

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

demonbuddy — GMT

LOL, i like that "AI fails utterly", but that's not quite true. In creature stage, you don't have enough options to form a solid stragety to beat the epic. In tribal stage, you can use mixed units to kill an epic with few losses. Run in your chief and other melee troops to attack the epic, while ranged (throwing spear) troops pepper him with attacks. When the epic goes after the melee troops, back them away with covering fire from the ranged troops. If the epic goes after the ranged troops, charge him with the melee troops. The combined tactics make a simple, yet tactful and believable, stragety to fighting a much stronger foe.

On creature stage, the only strageties are using unpassable terrain with spit attacks (a believable, yet cumbersome and time-consuming stragety) or taking advantage of infinite respawns at your home nest (a more obvious use of programmed dynamics). More options (like charming the epic and leading him to another epic, a nest of aggressive creatures, or into deep water where he drowns) would allow more stragety, but those options aren't available. So, you have to cheat the system, because the system has limited dynamics.

I managed to kill an epic all alone by crawling into a rock forest and spitting. It was something I created but I don't know what I was thinking making it. It was this thing that I made with 2 bodies and the asymmetry hack. It was pretty creepy in epic form. If only they had a non-playable creature button.

Humanimal1 — GMT

I had this Epic Dodo hassling me at one stage,right near the nest it was hanging around and I noticed that if i stood right on the nest it wouldnt attack,just stand there squawking,I had only spit level 2 at the time and started spitting at it for fun and the pack joined in,and I'm like "woah look at how much damage this thing is taking" So i rush in quickly and mate replacing a charm level 5 bit with the highest spit level i had at the time. Ally my pack and went for a bit of a walk,attack the Dodo and lead him back to the nest. Man it was so fast! Im standing back a little and the pack are tearing at his heels. Was awesome watching him fall. Was on hard setting too

After that first one i managed to get 3 more on same night. I got pics,how do I post em?

I think the easiest way to achieve this is leverage home-nest advantage. I killed one at level = hard. I lured it to my home nest, where everyone started attacking. Every time the epic tries to leave one of my nestmates would attack and the epic would return and try to fight again. I ended up just sat next to a fruit tree nearby and watch. When the epic's health went below 100 I started spitting at him from where I was. 2 spits (level 5) and he was gone.

My brother killed an epic. He had max spit, all rogue allies, had the call thing where you summon a pack of allies to aid you and the epic was attacking near his home nest so he had the aid of the rest of his species.

The easiest way to kill an epic(which I will have to do AGAIN to re-earn my acheivment :evil is to max out on Rogues and get all your attacks(Spit, Strike, Charge lvl5) and just go for it, retreat when you can and eat quickly. I did this, died twice but I had lured the epic to my nest so when I finally died(Rogues too, of course) my nest-mates continued the fight and eventually the thing died, although it took two of my lives with it .

The only way to kill one is buy get him stuck in a florest or between some rocks then you just need to use your spit abilitie (lvl 5 is recommended) and you better have a good healt because you can lose up to 50 hp by starving during the fight

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Muoteck — GMT

I killed him with level 3 spit - I lured it to my nest, the only creatures left after his initial wipe were ones that wanted to mate with me which didn't attack, just ran after me. Epic ignored all other creatures except me and was effectively blocked by them. Adding members to your pack helps, but then it automatically stops ignoring them and they die. Fast.

It took me LONG time to get that epic down.

Put in LOTS of them, and set the theme to this Sporecast at the beggining of your game, then follow the usual 'spit, back up, spit, back up' strategy, lure it to your nest, use sneak if you must eat, and be sure to lure it away from your nest so you get the final hit.

[quote=Emmande]Well I was just scrolling trough the achievements in Spore and I came across this one,
"Epic Killer.
Kill an epic in creature stage"
Has anyone managed to achieve this one and how did you go about it?

I've killed an epic in the tribe, civ and space stages, but creature? I didn't even think you could do damage to them in creature stage.

I lead it to my nest, and kept using level 5 spit and running around after i revived. killed it. we feeasted. my alpha got killed. our family spiraled into depression. lost all achievments for suicidal creatures. we drank stagnant water... and realized we couldnt drink

I have a question now: can an epic spit? I think even if he does have a spiting part it will not spit... It would be deadly as it would kill you in one shot... wait, that would be awsome, pure epic fear! Epic, ruuuunnnn!!!

If you're ready to advance to tribe, you can kill one without eating anything. You starve down quite a lot of health though.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Sungolden — GMT

I managed to get one down to almost 200 health points by spitting, but went to eat and lost track of it. When I found it again, it had completely healed. There seems to be a glitch that enables you in certain areas to spit and hit it, but it can't move away from the spot and you can hit it over and over. But the minute you leave your spot to eat, it releases and comes after you. I quit trying after that last frustrating episode.

It is indeed possible! (but no-one said it was easy)
Here's my proof...

http://users.qldnet.com.au/~bloodlust/upload/Spore_2008-09-27_22-13-49.jpg

It wandered near my nest.. everyone went crazy and started hitting it hard with me leading the way. It did take a LONG time and I lost 3 of my herd in the process (so we WERE taking damage), but when it toppled, thats where it landed. By the look of it, I think it's got quite low attack stats, which also helps explain why we weren't just slaughtered as usually happens. I have a strong feeling it's also because it was right next to my nest that we were able to do it, but I can't really confirm that. As I said, I lost 3 herd members in the attack, so we weren't invincible and bugging, but perhaps the nest auto-heal had something to do with it?

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Godzillaboy1993 — GMT

I would think to lure it to your nest so it can't hurt you and wait till it's hp is low enough and lure it away again and finish it off. make sure you have some extra health stuff like the jemite or bone parts and have some wings to get some distance between you and the Epic and have a lv.5 spit. I would have the spraypalm because it has both spit and health. Try and get in some thick trees or find some of those huge rocks. also it helps if you have some rouge allies with the same spit abilitie

I've never done this or ever will because it sounds like suicide. I tried once and I had a rouge and the epic killed me in one hit.

I did it the other night with my newest guys. I played on easy. But I didn't have any attack maxed I don't think...maybe one was 4. But did it at my nest. Too a while, died a lot , and my entire nest of guys were dead by the end but hey...it worked!

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

mpghappiness — GMT

I did it a VERY long but simple way.

Lead the Epic into a bunch of trees, and it will get stuck. Attack with Lvl 5 Spit continuously. Sometimes the Epic gets out of the stuck area, so make sure you have wings so you can quickly escape. Make sure you keep him in your sights though, for if you go to far, he will receive full life again. Anyway, just get him stuck again and use spit again and again.
NOTE: You will start starving while fighting him. Ignore the starvation, unless your life goes below 5. It is smart to complete the creature stage, then find an epic and kill it, because your life is 100+.

RaptorZefier — GMT

The whole method for killing Epics seems flawed to me, its more like you're killing it via a glitch rather then an actual strategy.

(Luring it to the nest or getting it caught in trees, both ways seem more like a glitch over being an actual strategy)

I wish they would have come up with a better method to killing epics.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Smookyolo — GMT

I have the "epic killer" achivement. it's not that hard really, it just takes some time and luck. i had a pack of three rouges, along with level 5 spit, glide, jump, and plenty of time to spare.

i got it stuck inbetween two rocks and spit at it. the epic failed to notice the rouges tearing it to pieces until it had 500 health left. i then spit... and spit... about 10 minutes later it was dead. got the achivement, and a save game where it has 5 health left, so i can kill the epic over and over when i feel like it...

random fact, the epic was MAXIS's "hornytoad"...

I managed to knock one over pretty quickly.

It looked like a giant rabbit - don't know how it became an epic cause it wasn't very scary or anything.

Just lured it back to the nest and sat behind all my nest-mates and spat at it. Must have been lucky enough to get the last blow in though

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

demonbuddy — GMT

The epic creatures are determined randomly, just like the other creatures. As with all creatures, the game will use your own creations and the creations of friends more often in the random pool. It seems to lean more towards omnivores for Rogue creatures, and more towards carnivores for Epic creatures (this might even be a rule, i don't know).

If an epic is being particularly um evil in your game, you could save, exit to main menu, go to your downloads, and delete the creature from your game. Then it will get replaced randomly. I had an epic tarantula outside one of my cities on Civilization mode that kept "spitting" all of my economic vehicles into dissolved puddles of goo. Their economic setting meant that they couldn't fight the epic, and the spit of the epic meant they couldn't even drive past it. Eventually, I purchased a religious city, and left it as religious so I could create religious vehicles to charm the spider and lead it to an opposing city. I really wanted to delete the spider cuz it was such a pain, but it was so well designed that I also didn't want it deleted, yanno?

wait until your creature can get 3 friends and has awesome fighting abilities

Then go and piss off an epic and let it chase you.

Let it chase you back to your nest

The epic cannot enter you nest nor can it attack

Fight it while sitting in your nest.

then just laugh as you used the game engine to get the achievement haha

I've done it twice. The first time the Epic had a speed of one, so I just spit, ran, spit, ran, and so on, stopping occasionally to grab some fruit to eat. Took awhile but it worked, and I did it with no members in my posse. I got the achievement for that.

The second time was in a nest, and like the others said it seems like a bug where you don't get hurt. Since I already had the achievement I don't know if I would have been awarded it for that or not.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

ParsimoniousKate — GMT

I've killed 6 Epic's to date (out of 17 creature phase games) - 3 of them were fairly close to my creature's home nest so weren't too tricky to entice back, the other 3 spawned right by the nest when I exited the Creature Creator. 2 showed up in the same game - it seems to be a matter of luck/randomness!

In general I'd say visit your home nest often and save just before you go into battle. If you kill it but don't get the badge you can always load up your save, repeat it and you *may* get it on the second try.

If your creatures have low attack abilities it can take quite a while, but they don't seem to starve to death if they're in their own nest. They do however get disorientated and complain about being hungry so the thing does take a lot longer. Even so it's in the ballpark of 2-10 minutes to take down a medium or small health Epic, it's not hugely difficult, more repetitive!
There's no way to guarantee that your creature gets the last swipe unless your pack members have wandered outside the nest's protective area and gotten themselves killed - seems a bit retarded that the posse kill doesn't count as *your* kill since it's your posse, but that seems to be the requirement. Your controlled creature must be the one that makes the kill.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

TheIrishMick — GMT

I got it by luring the epic creature and then running between two trees that were close to each other. It didn't fit through. I then used spit level 5. I had to run away and lure it back a few times to eat, but after about an hour or so I killed it.

I did it. Got me the Achievement for it too.

How, you ask? Blind. Friggin'. Luck.

The Epic thing found my nest and I decided to launch into a battle for the survival of my species or somesuch. Luckily for me, it started targeting my non-posse nestmates, which seemed to slow down it's trail of destruction. I was playing as a fairly aggressive species at the time, and had a decent amount of HP/DPS at my disposal, but the big trick was having it target creatures that weren't me.

It's easy. I did it by myself. I just spit it and got it stuck in some tall trees. While it was stuck I simply spat it to death. Having Spit 5 makes it go by faster and I suggest doing it with herbivore or omnivore so you don't have to run away to eat meat. If you run too far the Epic will walk away and get it's health back.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

demonbuddy — GMT

No no no... there is ANOTHER trick to the home nest that you guys are missing. Non-aggressive nest members (in other words, potential mates) act as a moving wall! If the epic can not fly and does not spit (most epics on creature stage seem to not use spit, or maybe I've just gotten the luck of the draw), you can get the epic *stuck* on your mate. When I fight the epic at my nest, I constantly hit the "mate" button. This spawns a non-aggressive nest member. This non-aggressive member will not attack the epic, so will not help in the battle... but the epic creature can not go through the mate. Sometimes, it even looks like the epic attacks the mate, but since the mate is non-aggressive, the epic does no damage (this could be a visual thing and not reality). But I have definitely killed an epic, without cheats (and i have never even downloaded a mod) in my home nest with zero or very few deaths. Nine times out of ten, the epic DOES figure out how to get around the "potential mate" wall and one-touch kill you. But it can get stuck on them!!!

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

demonbuddy — GMT

It's a fair question, because it's a game in development. "Bad Baby" is an achievement that is now gone from the game. Other achievements are just plain tricky. "Universe in a Box" requires you to use all creators, but there is a hidden creator: the spice harvester creation tool during the space stage. Even hint books don't answer all of the questions.

Sure, just assuming the achievement is impossible is pesimistic. A simple request for hints/advice without the claim that "it is impossible" should generate more responses... but look. Six pages of responses so far. Basically, most people (including me) are practically bragging about how they did the achievement. Because it was cool. This game doesn't *quite* capture the coolness feature of the first "Black & White", but it comes close. The first time that my tiger (an early epic???) pointed with wonder as my godly hand flung poo into the ocean, I slapped my forehead. Then, I laughed for twenty minutes.

Well. I tried all and every tip everybody gave, and I still can't kill the epic. I used the cheat for max DNA. I lvl 5-ed my spit.

I believe this achievement exists, but i don't believe in completing it.

smartacus — GMT

I killed an epic because it looked really dumb, haha. So basically they one shot you, or did me, so I eveolved a creature to have +5 speed +5 jump +5 glide +5 spit. then it was a matter of not getting hit and spitting alot. Mind your "hunger" meter, it's gonna take a while and you may starve to death (hard setting). Omnivorous creatures and herbavores have an easier time of staying fed while in battle thanks to fruit laying around. Any how my strategy consisted of spit and fly away, but not too far, I did this for about 30 minutes and got him to about 700 health at that time i was attacked by other creatures and was hungry so my health was down to 50. so i kept spitting on him and tried to snare him in some rock formations at which point i mashed the spit button for 20 more minutes and he finally died. I was super annoyed when I found an even dumber looking epic later on that day.

Bishop149 — GMT

Yay, I just managed it. No bugs or exploits!

http://www.spore.com/view/achievements/Bishop149

Wasn't lucky enough to have an epic spawn anywhere near my nest I was miles away before I found one. My creature has:

Level 5 Spit
Level 4 Stealth
Top level health.
Is an omnivore.

This is pretty much all you need to take down an epic but its pretty hard and takes a while.
When I first encountered the epic I had a full pack with me, I then also used the "Summon Flock" ability and sent them all to attack the epic whilst I hung back spitting. This knocked about 200-300 health off initially before they all died, not a bad start.

It was then pretty much run and spit, going into stealth when ever the epic got too close or I needed to feed (fruit).
When ever the "Summon Flock" ability had recharged I used it once again sent them to attack whilst spitting. This knocks about 80-100 off per go.
Rinse and repeat. . . . . I finished him off myself with spitting.

Tips:

I did it in an area that by chance I'd more or less cleansed of any other creatures, 5 extinct nests and only 2 live ones. This helps a lot as it minimises the epic's chances to feed (and restore health) and reduces interference form other creatures who might attack if you stray too close to their nest.

When the Epic's health drops below about 1/3 yellowy orange bubbles will appear above it head, from this point on it will try to get back to its nest to heal unless you keep it constantly occupied by attacking. DO NOT let it get back, if it does it will heal back to 1000 in a matter of seconds.

Once your pack/flock mates are dead try and lead the epic away from their bodies, if it looses interest in you when close to them it will eat and restore health.

When you need to feed lead the Epic towards a fruit bush and go into stealth. . . you can eat with the epic standing almost on top of you and remain undetected and unattacked

Edit: I got the achievement I found a herbivore right near some strategically placed rocks (lucky huh), got him to follow me into them and guess what, he just stood there. I blasted him for 10-15 minutes of spit and he fell. Weird thing was that I guess some fruit trees were behind me because food kept falling at my feet so I was never really at risk for starvation.

I'm not sure that the 'you cheated, you must be lying' approach to those who have succeeded this challenge and who are helpfully sharing their tips and experiences is called for. Why would someone lie about this - it's the work of moments to look up someone's profile online and see whether or not they've got the achievement listed!

On that point, if you cheat, you lose when it comes to achievements. The only plausible cheat that would make any difference AT ALL for this particular challenge would be the refill motives cheat because it would stop your creatures getting hungry BUT since an Epic can kill you with 1 single stomp/swipe/bite, it doesn't give you any attack or defense advantages. Since you can't enter the cheat after you are dead, it doesn't actually make killing the Epic any easier. There isn't (to my knowledge), a 'kill the Epic, but give me the achievement anyway' cheat.

demonbuddy — GMT

Oh, by the way, "I still can't kill the epic. I used the cheat for max DNA. " explains a few things. If you use cheats, you won't get credit. If you use cheats at *any* time during a stage, that race will never get achievements or work towards achievements. Even at later stages. The space stage is the only stage where it is obvious that you get a penalty for cheating because it awards the joker badge. But using cheats in the other stages has the penalty of dis-enabling any achievements for that race, for their current or future stages.

Seriously, stop using cheats. At all. Cuz it makes your games well, basically worthless. It turns the cheated races (or planets) into tutorials, where nothing matters. You *could* cheat one game, so you can find Earth (you won't get the achievement, but once you find it, you will know where it is) and to weaken the Grox empire for your other races.... but beyond these two goals, the cheated race/planet is fairly useless.

I actually think it is clever and somewhat subtle how EA makes cheats have consequences. It's like the original "SimCity" money cheat, where the cash cheat (hmmm i forgot the actually code for that one but I remember SPAM SPAM SPAM) could randomly cause an earthquake. That earthquake could do more damage to your city than the extra cash would pay for... Genius.

alooper21 — GMT

this is hilarious.
how to kill an epic: get spit weapons, lure an epic close to big rocks formations, hide between those rocks, where he can't fit, and spit. higher spit levels shorten the time to kill him, wich is good because you don't starve to death. also make sure your food and health bars are almost (full). if you have the health maxed you can kill it even with a carnivore this way. and buddyes are not really required. oh, and some here said they didn't get the achievement. maybe they cheated the game.
epics kill you by stepping on you, that's why you get that "one shot" kill, because they're supposed to be heavy. if you don't actually see then stepping on you it is because of programming and the way 3d objects blemd, mix and collide in the game.
one single situation i ran into: the "p3n!s creature" epic, the blue one, wich is verry slow, grabbed me and threw me away. lost some hp, i think, but i didn't died and killed it after.
and a last note: i kiilled about 5 epics by now. i don't think i'll do it again, because is not such a big stuff. you get nothing instead of that achievement. [b][color=red]it would've been something if killing 3 epics made you rogue creature, and then killing five made you an epic[/color][/b]. or something like that. wich means achieving something in "real world", too, not just in stats.

[quote=demonbuddy]Oh, by the way, "I still can't kill the epic. I used the cheat for max DNA. " explains a few things. If you use cheats, you won't get credit. If you use cheats at *any* time during a stage, that race will never get achievements or work towards achievements. Even at later stages. The space stage is the only stage where it is obvious that you get a penalty for cheating because it awards the joker badge. But using cheats in the other stages has the penalty of dis-enabling any achievements for that race, for their current or future stages.

Seriously, stop using cheats. At all. Cuz it makes your games well, basically worthless. It turns the cheated races (or planets) into tutorials, where nothing matters. You *could* cheat one game, so you can find Earth (you won't get the achievement, but once you find it, you will know where it is) and to weaken the Grox empire for your other races.... but beyond these two goals, the cheated race/planet is fairly useless.

I actually think it is clever and somewhat subtle how EA makes cheats have consequences. It's like the original "SimCity" money cheat, where the cash cheat (hmmm i forgot the actually code for that one but I remember SPAM SPAM SPAM) could randomly cause an earthquake. That earthquake could do more damage to your city than the extra cash would pay for... Genius.

Actually, if you cheat with a creature on a planet and then create a new game on another planet with the same creature, will the second game be doomed too?

I killed an epic a few days ago with my [url=http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=sast-500168652010]spike[/url] The lure the epic to my nest and rejoin whenever i die didnt work for me, because if i died, when i respawned, its health would be back up to full. I defeated it by hiding in trees spitting at it, and eating random animals with a nearby nest that kept attacking me.

On my first attempt to kill an epic, i got it to 700 HP, then died from a second epic creature coming up behind me.

I killed an epic single-handed and away from my nest.
No, really, since then I have noticed there in every planet I played the epic killing spot is present.
I just had to lure the epic to a gigantic skull, hide in the middle of the bones, where the epic can't reach and keep spiting.
I even uploaded a video to youtube:

okay, the way I killed 1 was I got level 5 sit and kept attacking it.

of course, i used a sheat so i didn't get the acheivment...

I, no joke, killed 3 in the same creature game. Have level five spit, and bite and/or strike. Keep spitting at the epic tocall its attention and lead it to your nest, eventually, your buddies will attack the epic, sit in the back and spit. It will try to attack you, but your out of range, with their high level bites, your nestmates and you will take him down quick! And you'll get all the credit (the achievement and the DNA) not to mention, a feast at your nest.

you can lure two epics close together, then make yourself scarce. They will fight. Once, I was spitting at an epic, and whittled it down to 700 hp, when it suddenly died and fell over, I thought I got some glitch critical, thill I found behind the carcass, another epic had killed that one!

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Krayfishkarl — GMT

Yes, it is possible. I recommend being an omnivore so you can eat fruit when you are hungry. You ahould also have level 5 spit and 3 pack members. Keep spitting at it until the creature is dead.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

saihenjin — GMT

Have a high level of spit, and "kite" the thing around. No allies or packmates are necessary, though it makes it go faster. Hit it from a distance, then run away, turn around, hit it again. Rinse, repeat.

Omnivore is nice, because then you can take advantage of fruit (you WILL go hungry several times, it takes a long time to take them down)

You get 500 (i think) DNA points. It's been a while since I got my achievement, though.

On the other hand, wiping out as many Epics as you can in Creature Stage gives you a sense of invulnerability that I find lacking in later stages...

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Freezdried — GMT

I killed my first epic the sissy way (spitting at it from a distance for about an hour). But now I just kite it to my nest and have my pack-mates attack it with me. About 50% of the time, it won't kill me or any of my pals, but the other 50% of the time it smacks me down. I think when it doesn't kill me or my posse it's because I have so many creatures attacking it at once that it doesn't have time to initiate an attack of its own, but I'm not sure. Anyway, if you lure it to your nest, and if you have enough creatures attacking it at once, you can easily defeat it within a couple minutes.

It certainly helps. I've found that if you're attacking normal creatures and can cause enough damage fast enough, it actually blocks them from attacking back every so often. Probably the same thing with Epics, just on a much larger (well duh) scale.

Oh how this achievement eludes me with misfortune.

I've narrowly got it, I got one of my epic Patraffe's (a backwards facing epic is metal) and use my Patorian Ultimatum, which has level 5 all attack. It had the best wings too. So first I lured it towards my nest, then as my nest and pack fought it I kept spitting at it. When it killed the whole nest it became a game of cat and rat. I pretty much flew around it and kept spitting at it until 250 hp. Alas, I flew too close to the thing and fell out of the sky. Needless to say it stomped me back to cell stage food.

I got one today, in my pc game, and then a few hours later got another one in the same game. it was in the creature part. i got on a rock where the epic could't get me, and ate when needed. then the second time it was about the same only was in a crevise and it couldn't get me there. i had helpers but they got it right away. i used the highest spit i could and it took awhile, as the points only went down, for the first one only two at a time because i only had level 2 spit then the second one i had level 4 and it went down 4 at a time.
I DID IT TWICE IN THE SAME GAME

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Bruom — GMT

pretty easy once you've learnt how to do it. simply bring it to your nest and spit at it. then, when it has only like 50hp remaining, charge at it with all you have, and voila, the acievement.

you can also stay spitting and walking/flying backwards, but that's really boring and takes like 10-20 minutes.

i've also heard about the way where you stay just under it's legs, but never did it myself.

also, i've never had success in close combat. i think it's impossible, doesn't matter if you have a pack of rogues. experiments have proven that a sort of bug can make you invencible in your nest, but never got it to work for me.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

BEAR90 — GMT

doing this is easy lure the epic to your nest and fight it!

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

BrittlesSkittles — GMT

Alright here's my advice.
First of all, I'm a relatively new player, so if you're new to the game, don't let the thought of some achievements scare you.
Killing an Epic is kind of easy and difficult at the same time.
The most tricky part, by far, is luring it back to your home nest. I've found that this is the most effective method and one of the only possible methods...xD.
Anyways. It's best to have a high speed, and the sprint ability. Also a level 5 Spit is necessary.
Slowly lure the epic back to your nest. If you have any sort of pack, they are usually useless because they run at the epic and die...
Oh, and try to find an Epic without the spit ability-so it's easier to lure and you don't die as much.
So!
Step 1- Lure the epic back towards your nest. This is the hardest part, and might take a while, but it's worth it.
You will need spit, sprint, a high speed and also sneak and Fly are VERY useful. You can use sneak to get close and attack it with spit, and you can use sprint and fly to suddenly run or fly away in case the epic gets too close.
Try to spit at it every minute or so to get it's attention, or stay close enough that it keeps it's interest.
Step 2- Once you get back to your nest with the epic, you're golden. Your family members will keep the Epic distracted (for the most part) and respawn if they die! And you as well! I would suggest taking a few steps away from the nest, but from here on just use spit. If you die, you respawn right in the nest where the epic is, so you don't have to go looking for it.
It's also handy if you're an omnivore-so you can use the "summon flock" ability. It might help distract the epic, at least.
Step 3- Just use spit, and eventually his HP will drop...and BOOM, dead epic. You get a lovely achievement and a bit lovely pile of meat. :]
Hope this helped!

A good way to do it is to lure the epic to your creature's nest and make sure your species is between you and the epic. The mass of creatures confuses the epic's AI, making it just stand there and roar while you spit at it. Eventually it will fall. Took me a while, but I finally did it (and have the achievement to prove it)

I think I found a glitch where one epic was scared of me and running away, lol. It was actually one that my creature hunted to extinction before, (gasp) but apparently it came back to life in the form of an epic. So, out of chance I came across another epic and they engaged in battle! The new one ended up killing the scared one, and then after spitting at the winner for a while, he finally got the idea and spit at ME! With some sort of FIREBALL! Is that even possible in creature stage? (I'm using the regular spore game, not galactic adventures)
Ehh...so the fireball killed me instantly and I ended up back at my nest, without the epic killer achievement!

that's the best strategy. except you also need a little luck. sometimes when I lead it to my nest all I find are babies and a would-be mate. sometimes it could take 10 minutes before an egg hatches an adult. another strategy people can use is lure an epic into a forest. It could easily get stuck behind a tree, their bodies are huge, but their brains are tiny. all they'll do is stand and growl at you while you slowly-er...[i]really slowly[/i] kill it with spit attacks

After a while of toying with an epic, (not the same one that fireballed me) I found out that if it has the spit attack, it will only use it when it gets really, really POed. And if you want to tick off an epic, just dart in front of it several times, nimbly avoiding its attacks, it will soon get frustrated and have a temper tantrum. (complete with childlike foot stomping, arm flailing if it has arms, and agitated noises) And if it has any spit parts, it will use that as a last resort and waste you on the spot....lol.

iciclefish — GMT

If you actually watch the epics closely they don't always have 100% health. Where you get two of them with home patches close to one another they sometimes fight each other and occasionally one of them will get killed. At this point the victor will have very low health - probably a lot less than a rogue does. Then it's easy.

Other than that if you're going to use spit, trap the epic among some trees and rocks (it's not that difficult to get them stuck) and stand next to a fruit tree so you don't run the risk of starving to death.

I just beat an Epic creature in the Creature stage. I had spit level 5 and I ran backwards until I got into some woods. The creature got hung up and I kept shooting and eating until it died. It took a while as it only went down 4 HP at a time. Good Luck!!

Dude, it's easy, I killed one on my second generation of creature once. I've killed over a dozen epics across a few games.

I killed i with my 3 headed bronchyro creation, I just shot at it while my allies ran up and smacked it. Before then I lead it to my nest, the only reason I actually suceeded was because it got stuck in a tree and I killed it before I starved, there's like 30 bites on that thing. Anyway without those trees I would have been dead.

Like people have said before, spit on it run under some trees(with fruit so you dont starve) and just keep spiting
easiest way to kill it

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

infinitedawn — GMT

It's not impossible. The best way is to hit it so rapidly that it roars by default (when you hit it) and never has a chance to attack. The best way to do this is to actually lure an epic into your nest (hopefully it's well populated). Your nest mates will naturally defend themselves and 4-5 adults can kill an epic if you help them.

You can also try trapping the epic in the trees and attacking it with spit.

The reward is worth it!

Yeah they always seem to do that if you bring it to your nest, I'm not sure if it's intentional or not... The only problem there is if you or one of your "crew" aren't the one to land the killing blow you don't get the achievement.

I killed an epic. I was on hard, too, but there was no achievement for hard epic. I was working on the 'beat these stages on hard' achievements. I spit at the Epic and lured it back to my next. He got stuck on one of my creatures and they attacked it and it never once hit them. It took at least ten minutes but it eventually dropped dead.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

tourniquetwire — GMT

Iv gotten it easy, took like an hour or so. i got 3 rogue allies and then i attacked it and bounced back. then i flew over it numerous times while my rogues attacked, i did this until my rogues were dead and the epic had like 600 health, then i just jumped and spit and got him stuck on trees and such until he died. Then.. i got 100 dna and ate him

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

sjhorm — GMT

I also got the achievement. I started a game specifically for that achievement. I spit at it, and lured it back to the nest. All my species attacked the epic, and he could not move. I charged and killed it when it had around 50 health. It took me a while, but it was easy once I tried. Don't try it alone! Lure it to your nest!

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

What you do is get spit, then spit at one. If your speed is low, use sprint. Lure it to your nest, then your nestmates will fight with you. It's health will slowly go down, and soon, BANG! it'sdeadand if you're a carnivore, CHOW TIME! And achievement.

You know those HUGE rock/crystral formations scattered around? Epics can't attack you if you hide in one and have your group blast away with Spit 5. You can take an epic down in around 10 minutes with this method. But one wrong step and you're dead.

I didn't know that. Where did you get that information.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Taegox — GMT

I've killed 2 or 3 epics...quite easily...as said before, use spit and fight at your nest. If you die you spawn at your nest and it is still there, still hurt, so you can really use. It also has about a 20% of glitching and not being able to get into your nest, so it'll sit outside and smile as you bit and strike it to death from the edge of your nest.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

MithranArkanere — GMT

I found two, and used spit to lure each other into a fight. It was quite fast.

There are posts and guides suggesting to befriend rogues.
That's uselsss, epics kill them in no time.

Spit-tactics are the way to go.
Either you spit all the time (they don't regenerate health if they don't eat) and kill them in quite some time, or lure one epic into another.
If you are lucky and both epics are carnivore, a fight is much more probable.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Gorath87 — GMT

I've actually heard from somewhere that if you managed to lure 2 epics together, they'd lower each other's health so much that once one wins you could kill it easily (epic fightnight, anyone? ). I'm not sure if it works cuz I've never had the balls to try it, but I think it's worth a shot!

edit: d'oh, i didn't pay attention to the other posts... guess it does work xD

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Scorpio314 — GMT

How I did it was the epic just got stuck on a rock and couldn't fight, so I just spat at it until it died.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Aegonian — GMT

Quite an easy achievement, actually. Make sure you have three healthy rogues in your clan. Attack the epic by using spit and the rogues will start attacking the epic. They'll get him to around 200 hitpoints, and from there on, spit, step back, spit, take another step back etc. Sure, it might take some minutes, but it does get you an awesome achievement!

I killed two epics in creature stage the key is to make a pack of three rogues (all having spit level five and flying level five) chose an epic without poison and with get close to the epic and spit poison and fly close to it but out of its reach. If you keep flying away from it you will be ok you will die four or five times.

Dread_Socks — GMT

I've taken up the mantle of Epic Hunter. It is my mission to exterminate EVERY epic in creature stage, and I can pulll it off. However, one does not simply rush up and attack. One has to plan the strike, trap the epic, lure it to the ambush site, and utilize a spit attack until he is positioned just so, then rush in with a charge, then strike, then bite.

Just in case, bring rogues, because they have higher firepower. If you're just starting your Epic Hunter career, try luring it to your nest.

While the 'Call Flock' ability is a great help, it confuses the epic and it may escape your trap and destroy you if used prematurely.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

Bahamut zero — GMT

Lure it to the nest? wow....and i'd usually lure it away for morality's sake.....but yea, i took down my first epic with the lure-and-snipe technique. Rocky areas work, trees, and my favorite, sheer cliffs. But be careful around cliffs. Sometimes the epic will smarten up and find a way up the cliff using a hill or something. My dream is to one day beat an epic in hand-to-hand combat. *cue Mortal Kombat theme*

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

fiploper — GMT

killing epics is easy! just use good spit parts, fast legs, then lure it to your nest. when it comes to the nest, your allies will attack it and the epic will stop moving and not attack.

"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

StoremasterSteak — GMT

I did it. It Stomped and clawed, and I got its health down to like 400. Then it said," I'm bored... Hey look, another epic!" It walked away, got defeated down to 16 health, and I went "WHAMMIE" to its face. It died.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

The way I did is was kind of a glitch. I ran to my nest, then it got stuck in it. I spit on it till it died. (that sounds funny)

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

MarioBabyLuigi — GMT

LOL, I killed an epic before. The Yoshi epic was just stuck in my nest and my creatures pummeled it to death. It didn't even do anything.

I got the achievement afterward.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

jukebox100 — GMT

just get one to your home base.
then attack it.
or just do it the long way by flying away and spitting at it, but thats like 2 hours of non-stop work.

Re:"Kill an epic in creature stage" your kidding right?

SooperWalrus — GMT

It is possible. I did it.

Once.

It took me, what?

A few hours?

A day or two?

I suggest you use a creature with 110 health, that way you can survive one stomp or fireball from the epic. I also suggest you play as an herbivore, or better, an omnivore (that way, you can spawn the swarm and distract the epic for a bit, as well as eating random fruit to heal and feed your self). I also suggest a spit level of 5, and a party full of rogues. Storm in at first, and then when the last rogue bites the dirt start backpedaling and spitting on the epic.

There is a great way to kill an Epic creature without luring them to your nest or any glitch. You lure the Epic to another Epic creature and let them fight each other. One of them will win and they would have at least half their health taken away. Then you can send your pack to kill them and whatever strategy you would want to use to kill them. Having a rogue creature in your pack definitely helps.

yes, you CAN kill epic creatures in creature stage. you could, like some examples listed, lure it to your nest and have your entire nest help kill it.you can also use rogues or another epic. but it is possible to kill it by yourself, but its not easy. i know because ive seen many videos on this and ive done it myself 3 times. i died, like, fifty times but i did manage to kill it. one i killed gave me the "deja-vu" achievement because it was my own tyrannosaurus creation O.o it was very fun fighting the epics

[list]Your mate should help you, or someone.[/list]
[list]The epic will get confused if thereis enough people attacking, he will not attack, just howl[/list]

What you do to get the achievement is to not cheat anytime before you do the achievement. If you cheat you won't get certain achievements like "epic killer." now how to kill an epic, what I did is just run around spitting at it and trying to get it stuck somewhere. It took me about 15 minutes to do it but I was killed 3 times before. Its also helpful to be an herbivore or omnivore so you dont starve to death while doing it. Good luck

Ya, once I figured out how to do it I have done it several times. It's pretty much like people say... you lure it to your nest and let your nest buddies help.

However, I have done it before with just Spit 5. It does take forever though, and like erexx12 said it's good to be a herbi or omni so you don't starve (I have starved to death more than once while trying to kill an epic).
