Faeton pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

In Faeton, each drop target scores 5,000 and advances Bonus. Complete the bank once for Double Bonus and the upper Extra Ball, then again for the lower Extra Ball and Special. While Double Bonus is lit, hit the red dynamite target to open Triple Bonus. Bonus pays up to 30,000 per step at Triple Bonus.

The goal

Keep returning to the drop bank because the first and second completions open every major award. Collect a lit Extra Ball before continuing the bank, and use the red dynamite target after Double Bonus lights so the accumulated Bonus can pay at Triple value.

  1. Knock down drop targets for 5,000 each and one Bonus advance.

  2. Complete the bank once to light Double Bonus and the upper Extra Ball.

  3. Collect the upper Extra Ball while it is lit; the lamp goes out after the collect.

  4. Complete the bank a second time to light Double Bonus, the lower Extra Ball, and Special.

  5. With Double Bonus lit, hit the red dynamite target to open Triple Bonus, then protect the built Bonus through the end of the ball.
