Skipping the First Troll
On Legendary, the first troll is very hard and consumes alot of minions. There's an easy way to completely skip him (Make sure you have 10 minions):
Head straight to the troll, and you'll get the cutscene of him getting ready to face you. After that, send all of your minions to open the gate where the crane is, and rush there (the troll will probably kill a few of your minions as they open the gate, but that's better than wasting 20 - 40 minions trying to kill him and also, if the troll is blocking the path, simple lead him away and head through the gate).
Once done, go to the crane and an autosave will occur. This is where the trick comes in - That autosave assumes you defeated the troll as you went further than you were suppose to, therefore, simply leave the area and come back, you'll find the troll has vanished as the game thinks he has been defeated.
Easter Egg - Head of Will Wright (Creature Creator)
Click on "View galaxy", then spin the galaxy by clicking, draging, and letting go. If spun fast enough Will Wright's head will show up... spooky!
View Developers
Press [Left] or [Right] at the Galaxy menu to spin the galaxy. After a few seconds pictures of the game's developer will spin out of the galaxy.
Easy Impressing During Creature Phase
During the Creature phase (fresh out of the tidal pool), you can get additional parts for your creature by impressing the alpha versions of the fellow inhabitants of your world. When you first approach them, sometimes others of their species will join in the game. The more of them there are, the more difficulty it can become. Push the alpha away from the nest and try to solo it out so that you only have to deal with him dancing, singing, etc. against your crew of followers.
Start Tribal Phase With Domesticated Animals
Have members of other tribes in your pack before completing the Creature phase. Advance to the Tribal phase and they will be transformed into domesticated animals in your tribe's pen.
Easy "Epic Killer" achievement
The only sure way to this is to lure an Epic into another Epic. Note: Save your game before you get the battle with the Epics. An Epic creature is much bigger than the usual species. It can one-shot almost anything even though its attack range of 3-7 is not very powerful to you. Epic creatures have 1,000 health. First, get a Spit weapon with at least 4+ Spit. Spit will lure the Epic towards you but do not die. Next, have two or three Pack members (Rogue recommended). Rogues are more powerful than a normal creature, but weaker than an Epic. Rogues have 250 health and do massive damage. Spit at an Epic creature and make it follow you. Stay at a distance and lure it to another. Find the two you want to battle. Once they start, find the one that will probably win. Start attacking the one that is about to win. This will increase your chances of getting the achievement. Once the Epic battle is over, the Epic that won and the one you attacked should be about down to 200 health or less. If not, quit to the main menu and restart. Constantly Spit until it is down to less than 10 health. Charge it, then Strike or Bite and you will win and get the "Epic Killer" achievement.
