My ABE Guide to Complete the Chronicle Caves in Vanilla on iOS, AMA

I recently completed cave 26 🎉 and to celebrate I want to share the methods I used to get there, no hax, just some glitches to save a lot of time. I’m on the latest iOS version as I write this and got the game back from my previously downloaded apps section. I’ll be able to cover mainly the last few caves because they’re fresh in my mind and easily the most difficult.

Disclaimer: I did not get 3 stars on every level, especially the last few caves because even if you did them perfectly you still wouldn’t get 3 stars so it requires many mighty eagles or an insane amount of mastery grinding, neither of which I bothered to go for. So I seriously don’t recommend going for 100% completion, just check out ColdStone’s channel to see what I mean. So I only ever used the 3 free eagles given by the game to beat the game.

Glitches that I used:

(Keep in mind that a lot of these may not work as often because of how fast iOS runs so keep the phone on low power mode for these things, and a few reloads might be needed if it doesn’t work)

The infinite gold glitch (Infinite Snoutlings and Xp): This is a bit hard to explain so it’s best to just look it up but basically when viewing a level from a heart gate, tap both the add ally and helmet icons at the same time. If they both pop up then press X, Back arrow, News, X, Back Arrow, then scroll to click either Golden Fields 3 for gold or Hog Head Mountain for Snoutlings. Now it’s very important to always keep an unbeaten level open, because then you can scroll to click it and then battle. This way the game will think it’s the first run and give resources. After each completion just hit replay and it should repeat. So put something on in the background as you do this.

I only did this enough to get a few really good sets, the treasure hunters class, and Snoutlings for grinding potions or mastery. (You should get a lot of Xp naturally through each cave but this will help speed things up)

Important Note: Do not start using the gold to gamble on sets in masses until you reach Xp Lvl 100 or you get the upgraded version of the golden pig machine, to get the best and needed value.

Immediate Heart Gate Unlock Glitch: (This useful in case you run out of unbeaten levels for the gold glitch) Just click on the heart gate you want to open, close the game, reopen, as soon as the loading screen says loading levels either turn on airplane mode and then off, or close it again to change the date on your phone. As soon as

Free Legendary equipment upgrades: On the enchantment page of any legendary weapon or Sheild, Just put as much resources as it takes to upgrade to upgrade it to the max level, then subtract the resource once, click the anvil icon and then the shopping cart, then go back. Do this twice and you should be able to click the upgrade button with no cost.

Ally Glitch for Caves 24-26: Scroll to an earlier cave and pick any level. Then as you click the back arrow, scroll the control panel immediately afterwards. Then go back to a Cave 24+ level and you can recruit an ally. (This is a little more unpredictable so it may need a few tries, so I just used it for cave 26)

Best Classes:

Red: Samurai By Far
2nd best: Either Guardian or Paladin if you want to grind the gold

Chuck: Rainbird
2nd best: Not very comparable because of his vulnerability but lightning bird is good for the final boss

Matilda: Priestess
2nd best: Cleric, especially for pirates

Bomb: Cannoneer
2nd best: Either Capt’n or Sea dog if want to grind the gold

Blues: Tricksters
2nd best: Either Marksman for pigs with the ninja ability or the treasure hunters which is the only one I think is worth grinding for against some bosses.

Best Sets:

All sets can be used for different levels but these are the most useful and consistent from my experience. Plus you don’t need all of these, just having a few would be enough.

Red: Protector’s Aura
2nd best: Grand Slam

Chuck: Mana Shell
2nd best: Time Jump

Matilda: Lasting Song
2nd best: Honestly anything else can be just as good, Lasting song just saved me from a lot of potion grinding

Bomb: Finisher
2nd best: PickPocket (for grinding)

Blues: Shadow Steps
2nd best: Artillery Strike

Additional info:

I would say it’s worth to grind gold for the Treasure hunters, Golden Cauldron, and the Golden Chili in addition to gambling for some sets. Just save as much of it as you can for when you reach xp level 100 for maxed equipment.

Daily Dungeons are good for skipping the glitch grind on snoutlings especially to upgrade and buy the drink and chili potions or buy mastery from the dojo.

My class levels were between 40 to 50 by the end of my playthrough

I used my only mighty eagles for the Cave 23 boss, the last stage of Cave 24-6 and Cave 25 mini-boss on the first stage of 5.

For Alpha Pig I used Samurai, Rainbird (Mana Shell needed), Priestess, and Cannoneer.

Keep in mind that these stages are different for everyone, so good luck 🫡

I hope this at least saves someone from having to all the research I had to do to get here.

Any Tidbits for Vanilla Alpha Pig? Here is my current setup:

Edit: COMPLETED. Now on to cave 26 😥

Alternative sets I own: Sugar Bomb (Bomb) & RC Robot (Blues).

Just knowing what classes to use would be plenty

Btw since when could we not invite a friend’s bird in this cave? 😭
