The Strategy

Complete the Jake and Neytiri center targets and lock two balls at lit green orbits; make the third mode shot, then collect the third lock to start Battle of the Hallelujah Mountains during the mode. After each lit award shot, press the Action Button to refill arrows and maintain playfield X. When switch hits start Eclipse automatically, shoot the right ramp before Eclipse ends to collect its built Jackpot.
The goal
