Win on the following maps under the Insane difficulty setting: "No Towers Allowed", "Unlikely Allies", "Warping Core", "Raining Goblins", "Wizardry", "Ogre Crush", "Zippy Terror", "Chicken", "Moving Core", "Assault", "Treasure Hunt", "Death From Above", and "Monster Fest".
To earn the "Skin of Your Teeth" award, you must end a wave with less than 100 Eternia Crystal Health Points, and also complete the entire level to save that status. You will not get the award if done on the first wave or the Easy difficulty setting. In levels with more than one crystal, only one of the crystals must go under the 100 Eternia Crystal Health Points. Under the Insane difficulty setting, the core does not heal. Each wave completed with the core damaged to 100 (after the first wave), will award "Skin of Your Teeth", even if the core took no damage in that same wave. It is possible to get both the Flawless Victory and Skin of Your Teeth awards because both of them begin on the second wave by having the core taken down to 100 on the first wave, with no further hits.
Earn the "Master Strategist" bonus for the first thirteen levels under the medium or higher difficulty setting. Additionally, you must only use tower damage for all waves. Pet damage is not allowed. Note: You can view all bonuses earned in your previous runs by checking the records in the crystal of your tavern.
You do not have to be the Summoner. Someone can carry you with their Summoner. Note: This does not include the fourth Eternia Shards map.
Cover the map with large proximity traps. Your tower damage needs to be high enough to kill the spiders with one hit and their stats should be at least in the mid 1000s.
