Unlock rules
- All runs of a mountain are unlocked as soon as you have achieved one challenge (5 snowmen, 3 gaps, 3 tricks and/or the first score or first media score challenge).
- Sponsor challenges are unlocked by completing the previous sponsor challenges and the corresponding score challenge. Example: In order to unlock Sponsor 2 of a mountain, you need to have completed the second (or third) score challenge and Sponsor 1.
- Photoshot challenges are unlocked by completing the previous photoshot challenges and the corresponding media score challenge. Example: In order to unlock Photoshot 2 of a mountain, you need to have completed the second (or third) media score challenge and Photoshot 1.
- Pro challenges are unlocked by completing the corresponding event, the previous pro challenges and the corresponding sponsor and photoshot challenges. Example: In order to unlock Pro 2 of a mountain, you need to have completed Event 2, the second (or third) sponsor and photoshot challenges and Pro 1.
- The levels have the following unlock requirements:
- - Millicent 1 -
- - Breckenrr. 245
- - Event 1 240
- - Bear Mtn. 1 235 (+ Event 1 completed)
- - Mt. Hood 225 (+ Event 1 completed)
- - Laax 1 215 (+ Event 1 completed)
- - Event 2 205 (+ Event 1 completed)
- - Mt. Buller 180 (+ Event 2 completed)
- - New Zealand 160 (+ Event 2 completed)
- - Millicent 135 (+ Event 2 completed)
- - Event 3 110 (+ Event 2 completed)
- - Bear Mtn. 75 (+ Event 3 completed)
- - Laax 45 (+ Event 3 completed)
- - Event 4 8 (+ Event 3 completed)
- Legend challenges are unlocked by finishing 1st in Event 4.
There is an odd exception to the above rules. Breckenridge Pro 1 doesn't require Sponsor 1 to be completed. There is no apparent reason for this and looks like a programming oversight.
Score and Own the Mountain challenges (otm)
Several of these maps have been taken from http://www.ign.com/wikis/amped-2/Guide_part_5 or are modifications thereof (when the same mountain is used for 2 levels). The other maps have been generated from the "Mountain preview" in-game option and are therefore of varying quality. For all of the maps, the following apply:
- Red dots - Snowmen
- Green lines - Gaps
- Colored lines (other than green) - Same-colored lines indicate non-combinable otm content.
Millicent 1
Note that you can achieve all goals in one run on this level.
3rd score requirement: 50.000
3rd media score requirement: 30.000
Otm tricks:
- 540 spin
- 2 trick combo
- Back flip
- Boardslide
- Nose grab
There are plenty of opportunities throughout the level to do these tricks.
Backward off-axis flips also count for the flip trick.
Breckenridge
The gap at the beginning of "Four o'clock" is not possible until the jump stats have been upgraded a bit (the more, the easier it becomes). On the other hand, the three gaps to the right (when looking at the map) are easy to overshoot and soon become harder and harder to land as you gain more jump stats.
3rd score requirement: 75.000
3rd media score requirement: 40.000
Otm tricks:
- 10.000 point trick
- Front Flip with 1.000 Style points
- 5.000 point combo
- 300 point butter
- 2.500 point Railslide
There are plenty of opportunities throughout the level to do these tricks.
Forward off-axis flips also count for the flip trick. There should be no difference between "railslide" and "boardslide" (as it's referred to on Millicent 1. They both mean grinding on a grindable structure.
Bear Mtn. 1
3rd score requirement: 90.000
3rd media score requirement: 45.000
Otm tricks:
- Rodeo 360
- 7.500 point Railslide
- 15.000 point combo
- 10.000 Style points
- Double Front Flip
The double front flip needs to be planned in the route since you need a fairly big jump to achieve two rotations when you first arrive at this level. It's also a surprisingly precise trick as it's easy to get off-axis.
Mt. Hood
Note that the Cauldron Drop isn't unlocked when you first arrive here.
3rd score requirement: 130.000
3rd media score requirement: 65.000
Otm tricks:
- 3.000 point Hand Plant
- 7.500 point Noseslide
- 10.000 point 180 spin
- 5 trick combo
- Stomp 2 landings in a run
These tricks require that you go a bit more out of the way. The 10.000 point 180 spin can of course be done as a standalong trick, but can also be achieved if a 180 is included in a grinding combo (possibly any combo?). The stomped landings requirements (there are more in later levels) can be hard to deal with. There are several different ways of getting stomped landings and it depends on several parameters (for example the general steepness of the slope and the board stats). A good way is to look for small bumps, where you can perform one flip rotation. It's possible to get stomped landings both with straight flips and normal spins, but with the score decay setting in, the game will quickly block that possibility. Off-axis rotations are a better choice since they aren't subject to score decay. It's also possible to get stomped landings from pure grabs or from multiple rotations, but the success rate just appear to be lower for them.
Laax 1
There is sadly no way to get a view of the lower part of the mountain from this perspective.
3rd score requirement: 175.000
3rd media score requirement: 90.000
Otm tricks:
- 15.000 point Method Grab
- Late 360 Spin
- 15.000 point Corkscrew 360
- 1080 Spin
- 30.000 points without crashing
You need to complete Pro 1 on Bear 1 to unlock the Method Grab technique. "Late" tricks are done by combining different types of rotations. So if you start with a flip (straight or off-axis) and the proceed with a spin, you'll get a "late spin". Same principle applies to "late flips". Grabs are unfortunately not triggering tricks to be "late". Unless you return to this mountain with a board boosted from the later mountains, the only realistic place to achieve a 1080 is around the cliff drop half-way down. The late 360 spin can also be hard to fit in and needs to be taken into account when upgrading the board stats before coming here.
Mt. Buller
The "Mountain preview" is really terrible for this mountain, which makes it difficult to make a proper map. The information is all there though.
3rd score requirement:
3rd media score requirement:
Otm tricks:
- 5.000 Style points on a rail
- 50.000 points without crashing
- Late Flip
- 5.000 point Impossible
- 15.000 point Railslide
Impossible is a snowskate only trick (X+down).
New Zealand
3rd score requirement:
3rd media score requirement:
Otm tricks:
- 30.000 point 360 Spin
- 40.000 point combo
- 10.000 point Railslide
- 60.000 points without crashing
- Triple Back Flip
The triple back flip is problematic. Both because it requires a really high drop to allow for three rotations, but also because it's a very precise trick (easy to go a bit off-axis).
Millicent
3rd score requirement: 250.000
3rd media score requirement: 125.000
Otm tricks:
- Double Flip + Late 180 Spin
- Stomp 3 landings in a run
- 25.000 Style points
- 10.000 point Railslide
- 50.000 point combo
The double flip + late 180 requires both a big jump and some pretty boosted jump and/or spin stats for the board.
Bear Mtn.
3rd score requirement:
3rd media score requirement:
Otm tricks:
- 6.000 point Lip Trick
- 6 trick combo
- 30.000 point Railslide
- 1.000 point Butter
- 30.000 point Rodeo 360
If you start a butter and immediately interrupt it by switching stance, you will receive the butter points plus 1000 points for the "180" (this is subject to score decay, so it only works at the very start), which will guarantee the achievement of the butter trick requirement.
Laax
Together with Millicent 1, this is the only level (with present knowledge) that can be completed in a single run.
3rd score requirement: 450.000
3rd media score requirement: 225.000
Otm tricks:
- 120.000 points without crashing
- 40.000 point Flip
- 75.000 point combo
- Late 540 Spin
- Stomp 5 landings in a run
Since this is the last level, it has also some of the hardest trick requirements. The late 540 can be hard to fit in along a route. A tip is to start spinning (in a spot that allows you to do a 900), but almost immediately after starting to spin, push the stick down (or up). This will take you off-axis. Then move the stick back to horizontal and continue spinning. If done correctly, the result will be a 360 off-axis rotation and a late 540 spin.
