Introduction:
Chicken Invaders 5 has 15 achievements. All achievements are very easy to unlock, with the exception of this achievement:

Greatest Chicken Hunter of All Time Award
Awarded for completing an entire mission without dying once.

In this guide, I'll try to help you earn this achievement by teaching you different strategies and secrets you can use to pass all 120 levels without dying once. Keep in mind that even if you are a professional gamer, this achievement can be luck-based, so don't give up if you fail to get it in the first few tries. Firstly, I will present some basic tips you need to know, and then I will show you all the hard levels that could lead to failure and how to successfully complete them.
Tips and tricks:
• Before starting this challenge, make sure you're playing on Rookie difficulty because it's the easiest difficulty and you will be able to kill the enemies much faster, decreasing your chances to die.
• Be very careful and take your time. If you rush into the enemies or you hurry, the chances of dying will highly increase.
• Don't risk your life for collecting power ups, keys, food or coins. Remember your goal. You're trying to get the achievement, not to get a high score. Of course, you can collect all these things when you're not putting yourself in a danger situation.
• Be careful when you're using your missiles and IBCM satellite. They will reduce your vision in the moment they explode, therefore they will make your screen to shake a little bit exposing you to danger. Remember that even if all the enemies will be killed, you can be destroyed by different things such as the fallen UFOs or by the new enemies that will spawn.
• Some levels can be easily completed by using missiles while other levels will lead to failure if you're using missiles, so be very careful! Always avoid to use missiles when there are UFO chickens nearby because the falling UFOs can destroy you very easily.
• Try to save atleast 5 missiles during a chapter. They can be very helpful in an emergency and you don't want to run out of them. The levels that have '5' in their numbers (the ones where satellites will spawn) can be easily completed by using a single missile. It will kill all enemies and will help you to destroy the crate faster (levels like 5, 15, 25, 95, 115, etc).
• Try to use only one of these weapons: Utensil Poker (the gray gift), Laser Cannon (the orange giftbox) or Neutron Gun (the green giftbox). The first weapon can be purchased from the shop using keys and it deals a very high damage to the enemies aided by a very large range that can protect you from threats coming from different directions. The other two weapons also deal a very high damage to enemies which will help you to kill the bosses faster and will come in handy in almost all levels. If I don't have my hands on the Utensil Poker, I personally use Neutron Gun more often because it's a little bit better than Laser Cannon (it deals more damage and it doesn't have a limited range).

Utensil Poker, Laser Cannon & Neutron Gun giftboxes:




• Unfortunately, if you die you can either play the entire mission, setting new objectives (like unlocking another achievement) or you can restart the entire mission. Remember that if you die a single time in all of these 120 levels, you won't unlock the achievement.
Chapters / Waves:
There are 120 levels in Chicken Invaders 5 (12 chapters, each one having exactly 10 waves, also known as levels). At the end of each chapter you will have to fight against a boss. Each boss is unique and have its own weaknesses. Now, I'll show you how to complete the most difficult levels at each chapter, where players usually die and fail to unlock this achievement, without dying.

Take note that I played on Veteran difficulty and I died 4 times during the mission (which it's a failure). My goal was to screenshot each difficult level and that's why I died: I was too slow because I took the right screenshots and after the each screenshot, I alt - tabbed my game to save the picture and 2 times I died after I came back to the game, I don't know why. So never take screenshots when you're trying to get this achievement and don't play on Veteran difficulty if it's your first try (the enemies are much stronger).
Chapter I - A Shot in the Dark:
• This is the first chapter of the game and it's very easy not to die here. The first six waves can be easily completed, just be careful to chickens and dodge the eggs. The wave 7 is the first difficult level in our list:
Kill these "caged" chickens and be very careful because the cage itself is a big structure and can kill you very easy if you're under one when it rotates. Keep the right distance from them and you will be safe.

The wave 8 brings the portals. The chickens will go through these portals and it can be a little tricky to kill them. This level is difficult because the portals will lower very much exposing you to danger: chickens and eggs. Be very careful when the portals get low!

In the wave 10, you'll fight the first boss and in the same time, the final boss, of this game: The Henterprise. However, this giant thing is very easy to defeat at this point of the game. Avoid the lasers, chickens and eggs and you'll finish this wave without any problems.
Chapter II - Mad Madam Madámme:
• The first difficult level in this chapter is the wave 17:
The chickens form a chain of lasers and they are protected by shields. It's very easy to complete this level on Rookie difficulty as long as you clear your path. Though, this level can get difficult when you're playing on higher difficulties because the shields will break much harder and the chickens could overwhelm you.

Moving on, the wave 18 it is difficult because the size of the corns that will rotate around you. Make sure you're shooting the corn when it spawns, keeping it near the sun beans so it can get destroyed. Tip: The popcorn won't harm you and you can eat it to get some extra missiles.

The wave 19 it's a pulsating grid. That means you will be surrounded by a lot of chickens and you can easily get destroyed by them. Use a missile when the chickens spawn and they'll all gonna die finishing the level very easily.

In the wave 20, you will fight against the second boss: The Military Chicken. This chicken will throw grenades at you, followed by two knives that are targeting you. To successfully defeat this boss, you must dodge the grenades, dodge the knives, deal damage to the boss until he'll be throwing another grenades and repeat this process until The Military Chicken dies.
Chapter III - The Blade of Revolution:
• This is an easy chapter with only 3 difficult levels. The first one it's wave 22:
You must kill a Chick Gatling Gun that will shoot 8 eggs at you among with some extra chickens. Make sure you're dodging all eggs by moving from a side to another side while you're taking down this dangerous chick. If you have a strong weapon such as Laser Cannon or Neutron Gun, you will destroy the Chick Gatling Gun very fast and without any problem.

The wave 28 is not a very difficult level, but it will train you for a more dangerous future level based on the same idea. Chickens will throw football balls at you and you must dodge the balls. A great strategy for this level is to stay on the left side and quickly kill the chickens above you and take cover there until the balls are gone. Afterwards, you can safely kill the chickens until other will spawn.

The Party Chicken is the third boss of this game. It's very easy to kill him. Just dodge its attacks and shoot him until he's down.

Chapter IV - Epsilon Thalassus: Artifact Recovery Mission:
• This is a special chapter because it takes place on Epsilon Thalassus planet and not in outer space. Also, this is first hard chapter where everything is starting to get harder. Never hit the borders or you will die! The first difficult wave in this chapter it's the wave 33:
You must kill the Submarine chickens that are shooting you. These things has a lot of HP and you must be fast enough to kill them and then to dodge their attack.

If you have already noticed, there are giant octopus tentacles which will block your path and you must shoot them (tip: you can actually destroy them if you deal them enough damage). In the wave 36 you must dodge 4 tentacles, clear your path and kill some extra chickens. Be very careful with the tentacles!

In the wave 38, the Submarine chickens are back! This level is even more difficult because the available space is very tight, being harder to destroy and dodge the enemies.

The wave 39 is the hardest wave of this chapter. You must clear your path through a lot of tentacles that will quickly come back and if that weren't enough, you must defend yourself from some chickens afterwards.

The Jellyfish King is the fourth boss of this game. All you have to do is to dodge his attacks and the boss himself because he will move towards you. Also, you must kill some extra jellyfishes while doing this. However, this is not a dangerous boss.
Chapter V - The Source of Power:
• You're back in the outer space. Fortunately, this chapter is easier than the previous one. The first difficult level of this chapter is the wave 42:
You have to fight four Chickenauts that are protected by some chickens. This level can be difficult because the Chickenauts will shoot with laser beans in all direction. Destroy them fast before they will destroy you. Leave the small chickens for last.

In the wave 47 you must destroy two Chick Gatling Guns that are protected by a lot of shields. You must be very careful here and dodge with attention all the eggs which are shooted towards you. Destroy as many shields as you can to make some space for dodging and then destroy the enemies.

The corn is back at the wave 48. Once again, this level can be difficult because the size of the corns is large and can crush you very easily. Shoot or dodge the corn careful and you will be safe.

In the wave 50, you'll will fight against The Henperor's Apprentice. Stay in one of the corners when this Chicken comes because it will spawn a circular laser which can destroy you. When it summons more laser beans, stay away from the lasers' lines and focus not to get destroyed. It's not very hard to kill this boss, but you must be very careful.
Chapter VI - Gamma Chthon: Artifact Recovery Mission:
• This is the second special chapter in this game. You'll venture into the caves of Gamma Chthon planet in order to find another artifact. Once again, never hit the borders or you will get destroyed.
Even though this chapter seems hard, it's actually very easy to complete as long as you are careful and dodge all the chickens' attacks. The first difficult wave of this chapter is the wave 58:
Don't touch those purple flowers! They will destroy you. Instead, shoot them and avoid them at all costs (tip: you can actually collect the purple points after you destroy one flower for extra score, but it doesn't worth considering we're trying to get an achievement).

In the wave 59 you will fight against some UFO chickens and then against two Chick Gatling Guns. Make sure you're dodging the eggs and you're killing the enemies as fast as you can.

In the wave 60, you'll be fighting against the sixth boss of this game: The Heart of Darkness. This is the easiest boss to defeat. It has weak attacks which can be dodged very easily and it can be destroyed very fast with a strong weapon.
Chapter VII - The Thingamajig of Vagueness:
• If you managed to get to this chapter without dying, then congratulations! You just.. well, completed half of the game (60/120 levels). Fortunately, this chapter is very easy to complete without dying. The first difficult wave it's the 63th one:
Three Chick Gatling Guns will spawn here among with some extra chickens. You have enough space to dodge the eggs and to destroy the enemies. Be careful and in the same time, quick. Destroy the enemies one by one and leave the chicks for last.

The wave 68 can be difficult because the chickens are protected by bubbles until others that are protecting their bubbles are destroyed. You can launch a missile to complete this level very easy but be careful because there are UFO chickens and the UFO falling might destroy you if you're not careful.

The wave 69 comes with another pulsating grid. It's not hard at all if you do the right strategy: launch a missile and the wave will be cleared extremely easy.

In the wave 70, you'll fight against The Henterprise. This is your second attempt to destroy this big thing. However, The Henterprise is much stronger this time and it will take you more time to destroy it. Use the same strategy that you used in the level 10.
Chapter VIII - Eta Astropelecae: Artifact Recovery Mission:
• This is the third special chapter in the game. It takes place on the planet Eta Aastropelecae. Unfortunately, this is one of the most difficult chapters of the game. I died many times during this chapter, including the time when I took these screenshots! Be extremely careful once you started. The first difficult wave of this chapter is the wave 72:
Egg Ship Chickens are trying to destroy you with their lasers (I died here because I waited for them too long to spawn in order to take a good screenshot, but I died and I didn't manage to take a properly screenshot). Destroy them very quickly and dodge their attacks and then the second part of this wave will start: the lightning bolts. Dodge them with carefulness and you will be alright.

In the wave 76, you will fight against some Egg Ship Chickens and some aggressive UFO chicks. Dodge their attacks with carefulness and you will be fine.

In the wave 80, you'll fight the eighth boss of this game: The Ice Golem. This level is very difficult because you'll get attacked by a lot of things: lightning bolts, frozen chicks and frozen comets. The boss can be destroyed very easily once you have dodged the attacks. If you manage to finish this level, your chances to get this achievement are getting bigger!
Chapter IX - Our Darkest Hour:
• This is another easy chapter. There are only 3 difficult levels here. The first one is the wave 84:
There are multiple Egg Barriers which create chains of lasers with some UFO chickens. This level can get difficult if you get cornered. To avoid this problem, quickly destroy the Egg Barriers if you can go under them or destrory the UFO chickens if you have the possibility and the Egg Barriers will vanish one by one.

This is the wave 86. Do you remember the first difficulty level (wave 7)? It's back! Destroy the "caged" chickens and use the same strategy that you used in the wave 7 (keep the distance from the cages to avoid being hit by theirs big hitboxes).

In the wave 90, you'll fight against two bosses that you have already defeated: The Military Chicken and The Party Chicken. This time you have to kill them at the same time. It's actually easy to complete (use the same strategy you used to defeat these two bosses).
Tip: Destroy The Military Chicken first because he's more dangerous than his brother.
Chapter X - Light at the End of the Tunnel:
• Another easy chapter to finish with only three difficulty levels. The first difficult level it's the wave 96:
The wave 96 it's kinda a difficult level thanks to its pulsating grid style. A lot of chickens will surround you and you can get destroyed by them. Hopefully, I think this is the most satisfying level of the game if you do it correctly. There are three mini-waves of chickens that will spawn so launch a missile everytime a wave is coming. It will cost you 3 missiles but then you can collect all the food that dropped and you'll get rewarded with more missilies that you've used.

We're at the wave 99. Do you remember the portals from the first chapter? They are back, but they are now four instead of three and the chickens that go through them are much stronger. Though, it's still easy to finish this level if you are careful enough when the portals get low.

In the wave 100, you'll fight against the Giant Robotic Space Crab v2.0! Do you remember this robot from Chicken Invaders 4? He's back in Chicken Invaders 5, but he's very easy to defeat. Be careful to his first attack: a circular laser. Then you can shoot him and dodge the objects he's throwing towards you. After he stops throwing objects, get away from him because he will summon another circular laser attack. Repeat the process until he's destroyed.
Chapter XI - Atmospheric Reentry:
• This is the eleventh chapter of this game and unfortunately the hardest chapter of the game. If you manage to finish this chapter without dying, you're very good. The first difficult level of this chapter is the wave 103:
Never use a missile here because the falling UFOs might destroy you. Instead, kill the UFO chickens one by one and you will be safe.

In the wave 104, you will fight against a lot of Chickenauts and normal chickens. If you carefully dodge all the attacks from Chickenauts and destroy them one by one, you should be safe.

The wave 106 is not very difficult, but requires a lot of attention. Destroy the eggs one by one if you want to stay safe. If you destroy too many eggs you can end up getting destroyed by the chickens and never ever use missiles on this level.

In the wave 107, you'll have to destroy six Egg Ship Chickens among with a lot of normal chickens. Be extremely careful! The color of the laser beans which are shooted by the enemies look very similar to the color of the sky and you get destroyed easily if you're not paying attention to the details.

The wave 109 is very difficult. You must fight in the same time against a Chick Gatling Gun, two Chickenauts, four UFO chicks and some extra chicks. When I took this screenshot, I was waiting for the enemies to get on their positions, but this was a big mistake because I died afterwards, being hit by a laser bean.

And last and not least, the wave 110. In my opinion, this is the most difficult level in the entire game. This "boss", the Hen Barn will spawn a lot of chickens ready to destroy you, a lot of corn and a circular laser. If you are careful enough and dodge all the attacks, you can finish this level without dying. If you manage to do that, you almost got the achievement.
Chapter XII - Let There be Light:
• Finally, we're at the last chapter. We're back in the outer space and more dangerous waves are waiting for us. The first one is the wave 112:
One time I died here (failing my entire mission) because I got hit by a ball. Fortunately for you, I already taught you how to deal with this type of the level. Use the same strategy that you used on the wave 28 and you will be alright (stay in the left and only kill the chickens above you, then dodge the balls).

The wave 117 is not a very difficult level, it requires some attention and patience. I just wanted to tell you not to use a missile here due the high number of UFO chicks. You don't want to end up here getting destroyed by a falling UFO, don't you?

In the wave 118, you'll fight against four Chick Gatling Guns at the same time. If you have a strong weapon fully upgraded (Laser Cannon or Neutron Gun), this level will be very easy to complete. The chicks will only shoot a few eggs so you can easily dodge them.

Yep.. wave 119 is a difficult level. You only need to kill some chicks and shoot four satellite crates.. what could go wrong? Well, once time I died here.. after a lot of struggle I died here because a little chick dropped his waste onto my spaceship. Yep.. very nice from him. To avoid this type of problem, launch a missile when the chicks are coming and you will be fine.

And finally, we're at the wave 120: the last level of the game. It's the third time when you're fighting against The Henterprise and it's the final battle. Use the same strategy that you used on the levels 10 and 70. However, The Henterprise is very strong now and has a lot of HP. With a strong weapon and some satellites, you will easily destroy this final boss. You can use missiles to avoid laser beans, chickens and other dangerous objects. If you manage to finish this one last level, you did it. You got the "Greatest Chicken Hunter of All Time Award" achievement!
Conclusion:
It's extremely hard to obtain this achievement. Never give up if you failed and keep trying until you will get it. Use the strategies I showed to you and with some attention and practice, you would be able to finish this challenge. Thank you very much for reading my guide!

HOWEVER: There's one bug that can help you to get this achievement. If you died somewhere, you don't have to restart the whole mission. Leave the mission first, then rejoin the mission, play more until you reach last 120th wave. And with this bug, you got it!
