Oh god. I'm tryin to plan out when I can attempt this, but franco's post just made me very very afraid. How shitty would it be to block out 14 hours of your life, do everything right, then screw up after 13 hours 50 minutes.

I think i'm goin to have nightmares tonights

[invincible rob]

well done franco.
Im deffinatly going for the thousand but if dead rising keeps pissing me off the way it has been it'll require a few spare disks, 360's and a load more controllers.

[nurse]

zebatov: That wouldn't work.

Well anyway to anyone that is interested, I ran back through 72hr mode, this time keeping the main caseline going and not letting it timeout at "The Last Resort"

I played on, completed the bomb collecting mission. The final call in the main case-line you get from Otis is at the same time as no. 36 in the guide (21st/5pm) I waited in the warehouse lift for this call, you will receive a call from Otis saying Jessie is worried about you and you should go see her, then you will receive "Paul's present" request transmission.

I went and spoke to Jessie and then spoke to Paul, then ran back out and entered the warehouse again and sat there, received calls no.37 and 38. As soon as the call ended from Call 38 (cheryl's request) I got the achievement.

Hope this helps some people.

Q: Does the '1 Play' tag on many achievements (ie Zombie Genocider) mean it has to be completed in 1 sitting?

[xfrancox]

Q: Does the '1 Play' tag on many achievements (ie Zombie Genocider) mean it has to be completed in 1 sitting?


Well, not one sitting but one game. You have to do it all in one 72 hour game but that doesnt mean you cant save and stop along the way unlke survive 5 days for example.

[D1SC0NNECTED]

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking this genocide thing was goin to be a late nighter. Congratz on yer 1000 btw Franco.

[xfrancox]

Thanks a lot, and Im glad I could help.

[arun]

fuck you capcom...you suck!!!

Not everybody has HDTv you idiot!!!

can't read text and i am struggling...because of you(Nickki from Big brother:woop: )

fuck you!

[zebatov]

Yeah... Well. Does it mean ALL the calls you can get, or all calls that come up? Because unless anyone has tried this and is 100% positive of it... I think i'll try what my friend did. Because he sure as hell didn't follow the guide on this site, or ANY guide for that matter. That'd be a good stroke of luck.

[zebatov]

There are a total of 13 psycho's listed in the Brady guide. Punisher, and Psycho Collector should be gotten at the same time. You didn't specify which you need, but if whatever guide you're using is made properly, you should receive both at once.

The mighty people of the forum made the guide, so it's amazing ;)

Oh and we only have 12 Psycho's down, are you sure about the 13?

[MATTUMUZ]

Well, there are 12 in 72 hour mode that are counted by the game as proper psychos. But does Brock in overtime mode count as the 13th maybe?

On that note, I just beat overtime mode:woop: !

Thx
MATTUMUZ

[RiddlingCat]

Ya, I only saw 12 on the guide:

Name: Cletus the angry gun shop owner
Location: Huntin' Shack
Call Time: Towards the beginning of the game

Name: Adam the clown
Location: wonderland Plaza
Call Time: 9:00 p.m. September 19th

Name: Cliff the Vietnam Vet
Location: North Plaza
Call Time: 8:00 a.m. September 20th

Name: Kent
Call time: after you beat his side missions

Name: Jo the cop
Location: Wonderland Plaza
Call Time: 1:00 p.m. September 20th

Name: The Halls (3 snipers)
Location: Entrance plaza
Call Time: 4:00 p.m. September 20th

Name: Sean the cult leader
Location: Movie land
Call Time: 12:00 p.m. September 21st

Name: Paul Carson, the Arson
Location: Wonderland plaza
Call Time: 6:00 a.m. September 21st

Name: Steven Grocery store Owner
Location: Grocery Store, North Plaza
Call Time: Case 2-3

Name: Larry the Butcher
Location: Butcher shop in maintenance tunnels
Call Time: Case 8-4

Either way, you shouldn't have a problem killing and photographing 10 psychopaths. The Halls are a quick way for the achievements, since you're taking pictures and killing 3 of them at the same time :p

[nurse]

You have to answer all calls, not just the ones available to you.

If you stood in bill's room (entrance plaza where you encounter the professor who has locked himself in the bookstore during case 1 after defeating Carlito in the food hall) you wouldnt get the calls from otis for "mark of the sniper" and the 2 other associated calls with it because you are in the area where those encounters take place.

[D1SC0NNECTED]

Soooooo just did the genocider, i got like 37 hours game time left, could i just go sit on the roof for 2 hours and then go to the helicopter? Or do i actually have to do some case files?

[RiddlingCat]

No, there's no need to do the case files now, just go on the roof to get the Outdoor achievement and there you go :p

[Panacea73]

Just finished the true ending. Now going for +50.000 kills to get the multiblaster.
Missed Joe the cop, Sean the cult leader, Paul Carson my first run through.

[aPerfektFIaw]

im not sure of this... but Carlito MAY be a psycho in the tunnels... ill look into this and add it to the guide if it turns out true...

ive seen arguements about this before elsewhere, ill just go see how they ended

[MATTUMUZ]

You don't/can't kill carlito, the only other boss you kill is Brock, so is he the 13th!?!?!

Thx
MATTUMUZ

[RiddlingCat]

No, I'm pretty sure that Carlito and Brock are not going to count to the psycho list.

[DaVoR 73]

The gun is great, lots of ammo never really run out.

[D1SC0NNECTED]

Beautiful. Thanks for the help. I can bust out like 3 episodes of the shield while I finish that up.

[Sebastian55]

I got this achievement using this strategy as well! Good guide! :woop:

[arun]

where can i get machine gun(excluding special forces!!!)?

[Tracker4502]

Get it from the survivor holed up in the Huntin' Shack at Early Morning of the Third Day. I forget his name, but the three survivors have a pistol, a shotgun, and a machine gun. Take the machine gun (give him something else and he will drop it), then when you have free time go to the meat processing plant (Enter the matinence tunnels, make a left and continue to the end, the doors are on the right). Clear about helf the room, then take careful aim and unload into a hanging meat. Bingo, you're done.

[Carl Showalter]

So how many people have completed this game. Cant be too many you must be one of the first people to have completed it.

[Webb]

201 to be precise at this present time of posting ;)

[aseddon130]

before attempting this get the genocider achievement and unlock the mega buster gun, makes the bosses a bit easier to kill. I've only just started to attempt this and it's pretty hard without it.

just as i've typed and posted that i've just killed Carlito with the mega buster gun with one shot ... i hope that goes for the other bosses (on a side note, it took 4 shots to kill paul and to kill Otis with this gun)

[aseddon130]

can a well done steak turn into a rotten steak?

EDIT: just tried it, it doesn't rot when it's well done :)

[Tommy Gun 81]

I have the following problem with those achievements. I'm always dying in Leisure Park, those nerds in the car kill me all the time or they kill one of the women!

It takes hours 'til you can do the Jo psychopath thing...i can't get them to survive all the time...this is impossible to me!!!

[Carl Showalter]

Where can you find that out?

[oVo Pandora oVo]

I just wanted to add because I didn't see this anywhere thought it may help anyone who is trying to get this achievement. You can find everything you need to make all the drinks at the restaurant by the movie theater and the snacks are at the movie theater that way you can go back and forth between those 2 places to make your drinks just thought some would want to know makes it alot easier and faster :)

[xfrancox]

I think Im the 3rd on the site to get 1000.

[Webb]

Where can you find that out?

MGC ;)

Just look at what place comes after number one.

[aPerfektFIaw]

Congrats Franco! I also have 1000 GP for Dead Rising. I couldn't have done that with out the help of you, Graf1k, aperfectfIaw, ki23lla, and BlazeDragon 132. All i have to say is thanks for allowing me to finish the game 100%. Im sure I could have used that time to study but meh, college is a time for slacking anyways..... right?

wow thanks... always good to get a shout out --- cuz im still a nobody at this site... but i will continue contributing until im a celebrity :woop:

[DieHard[NL]]

does the achievement have to be done in a single game, or is it possible to do them in multiple games? thanks for this guide

[xfrancox]

Single game.

[Marusame00]

So, if you get the megabuster and finish the game, it will be in the room right? or did that person just get then load a saved game beforehand?, oh well im sure itll be there after you beat the game. Im at the Bomb thing now, still got about 7 hours till the mission, im lvl 29, i should be fine. hell if i do it right i could just do it by quickstep lol. One of these days im going to get a couple of katanas, that crazy cult leaders sword, some skill books, and health. Then ill purposesly stall the car in the middle of it, then get on top and wait. with the katana lol. yeah and fight my way out. Im going to have a blast.

whatever floats your boat

[Tommy Gun 81]

Great great guide, i did it in under 30 minutes...thx a lot!!!

[Spartan]

This guide is great! It helped me get the achievement in no time!

[Tommy Gun 81]

Census Taker somehow won't unlock...i'm pretty sure i photographed enough people for the achievement because i'm at the end of my second 72-hours mode and i just missed Tad so far, he is the one hostaged by Kent.

I photographed every other survivor and no achievement yet :(

[ruff]

Iono why I keep ignoring 5 and 7 day survivor achievements.. iono if I'm scared of it or not :(

I'm pretty close to finishing the game.. Saint is killing me forreals.. I missed Kindell an I needed just him to finish :( but other than that, I can get the 1000 by the end of this weekend

Took about a month off and on to get this far (780 points) i think :)

[VisitorQ]

Is it possible to get this in overtime mode?


I tried taking a few pictures during the 72 hour mode, but somehow they didn't show up as PP stickers when they were rated afterwards.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

But the main question is: Can I get it in overtime mode?

Regards

[D1SC0NNECTED]

This is kinda weird, i started a new game to bring in karate champ, have 1,135 kills on my counter, all by hand, and the achievement hasn't unlocked. I did kill a bunch of zombies in the first part of the game with all of the survivors that die...i'm wonderin if that has anything to do with it. anyone else have this problem?

*Nevermind, I just got it. I had to get to 1303 though. Weird.

[dadaveke]

No it is not possible in overtime mode .. because you can`t go into the room where those guy`s in yellow jackets are..these 2 :
- (Requires you getting abducted by the cult) On the red tarp
- (Requires you getting abducted by the cult) On the fox cutout

i did it today in 72 hour mode but i didnt got my achievement. i think that i missed one by misstake.. Sorry for my terrible english . i`am from netherlands.

grtz dave

[VisitorQ]

Well perfect or not, I understood all of it :)

Thanks. I'll go through it in 72 hour mode then.
Will I need to unlock something by following te story a bit? Or can I do it even without doing backup for Brad?

[Kif]

Any kill which isn't a direct result of you isn't counted (i.e. a zombie thrown into another zombie). I at this minute just got this achievement with about 1,061 kills. It's a stupid rule if you ask me, but that's how the game counts it.

[Krazie]

I did this after i got my 53,000 kills (i got some during when i had full health between levels), so i just kept on going til i got it with no idea when it would pop up, so just keep doing it until it pops up for those that are having problems with it

[Tracker4502]

Well perfect or not, I understood all of it :)

Thanks. I'll go through it in 72 hour mode then.
Will I need to unlock something by following te story a bit? Or can I do it even without doing backup for Brad?

You need to do Backup for Brad because he unlocks the Entrance Plaza during Case 1-3. You also need to finish Case 2-1 so all the shutters in entrance Plaza are open. It IS possible to get the PP stickers without opening the shutters, but it is a real big pain.

[ruff]

Tho 8 hours into it, I can tell this is gonna be easy, it's just all about waiting..

I'm in the MovieLand bathroom killing time waiting for my rations to run out an I'll go kill again.

I'd advise being at level 50 and having the Mega buster before even thinking about doing this

And I'd also advise doing this on a weekend, starting early in the morning :chair

[killerharu45]

on day 1 i went into paradise plaza and in one of the stores I found sum lady named dana. Ive never heard of her cuz shes not in the notebook. But she gave me some food and that always helps! :woop:

[zebatov]

hey where do u have to stand to get the - Statue of a chef behind Chris' Fine Foods (F103)? cause i cant get it thanks!

It took me a while to find it too. If you go to the entrance to the kitchen, and turn right around (180 degrees), you should see it up in the wall behind you. It's not really behind Chris' Fine Foods, more to the right side when facing it from the front.

And thanks for making your post unnecessarily long :) Next time, try to quote the text a little before and after what you're quoting so it makes it easier for people to see that you're quoting one specific thing. Just some friendly advice.

Also, I'd like to add that there's a mistake (or two, but I can't remember which one now) in the directions to where one of the PP stickers are. An easy fix, but I thought I'd point it out.

"Wonderland Plaza - 15"
"- West side of the yellow house in the south play area"

It's not on the west side of the house. It's on the east side facing that log bridge. The west side is tight against the railing as we are in the "south play area". You would have to be standing outside the railings on the walkway, but there is nothing on that side anyways. Hope this helps.

[zebatov]

Well you need him as well, dude. At the end of the game, I can't quite recall, but I think there were 51 survivors (including Frank). Then it goes back down to 49 at the rank screen, because Frank "dies" (along with the helicopter pilot), then back to 50 when you beat overtime mode, because Frank counts as one.

[zebatov]

I have the Perfect Gunner achievement, but I didn't get the ammo belt. I probably started a new game and didn't finish the other one to actually unlock it. Is it still possible to get the ammo belt?

[Tracker4502]

Yep. As long as you saved after you got the perfect gunner, you're fine. All you have to do is get any ending (A-F) on your next playthrough, and it will reward you with the item after the credits.

[dadaveke]

i found and used this guide for Frank the Pimp and the Tour Achievement.. It was a lot easyer this way... the credits goes to the person who wrote this guide ( i don`t now any name) i only copy and paste...

Frank the Pimp
TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Simultaneously escort 8 female survivors.
This is how I did it and i found this way extremely easy.

1. Ignore everything until 9pm the first day
2. kill Adam the clown in wonderland, let the guy open the shortcut, then kill him
3. wait in the bathroom til the coward scoop at 9am 2nd day and head to North Plaza
4. Kill the coward, then head over to kill the hatchetman
5. kill everyone locked in the room next to where you killed the hatchetman
6. go to wonderland plaza for the lovers and kill them

Notice at this point you have no survivors... theres a reason for this. You would have to lug these people around while doing these tasks, taking the risk of killing them. But here's where you start your rescues, and you only have to go between Paradise Plaza and Wonderland via the shortcut.

7. by this time it should be nearly 11am... grab pam and heather from paradise plaza (by the toy store first floor)
8. if its after 11am go kill ron in the sandwich shop, if not head back to wonderland plaza and wait til 11am then back to paradise plaza to kill ron
9. wait in paradise bathroom til 12pm then go do "above the law" scoop in wonderland plaza
10. head back to paradise plaza bathroom until 3pm
11. go back to wonderland plaza for the 2 people hanging off the bunny (kill the guy, save the girl)
12. head back to paradise plaza for the cult scene, and save the girl from the crate

please note that it is very important to do steps 8-12 in order

grtz dave

[zebatov]

Well that's what I'm saying. I don't think I did. I got the achievement, but I don't think I saved the game after, or something happened. Because I checked all the bags in the security room, and not one of them gave it to me. I did this with another achievement as well, which I got on the same play through as the Perfect Gunner (which is why I believe I just started a new game). All I did to unlock it was redo the achievement. Obviously, it didn't say achievement unlocked, but the blue little... media thing in the bottom came up saying I got it. I beat the game and I found whatever item it was in the security room. I tried that with Perfect Gunner and the blue media thing never came up :(

By the way, this was ages ago when the game first came out. I'm just posting about it now because I keep forgetting about it.

[zebatov]

In this guide it says Carlito does not count as a psychopath. In the BradyGames guide it has him listed under psychopaths, as well as the fact that I got the Psycho Photo achievement after taking his picture. Thought I'd throw that in there.

aPerfektFIaw (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/member.php?u=2413) - Is the Frank the Pimp guide that's posted above the "new" guide? Or is this found elsewhere?

I also thought I'd add for anyone wanting to do some math, or anyone who's just curious, that in "Infinite Mode", it takes roughly (very close to) 1 minute and 40 seconds for one square of health to drop.

I'm also just curious if it's possible to blend up an untouchable drink, so your health doesn't decrease over time for a short period?

[zebatov]

Whats with not being able to check your watch during Infinite mode? That is pointless and lame.

Well said. I don't like risking a freeze up going through a door anymore than I have to. I actually turned the BGM off while I'm doing this right now.

[zebatov]

Im attempting this right now and this guide sure is helping. Any idea when during day 1 the Clown shows up? Cause he is nowhere to be found and I need his damn chainsaw.

Also in Wonderland Plaza on top of the cosmetics place next to the Jewels store there is a Grapefruit.

You've obviously done this one by now, but I'm having the same problem you were this time through, because last time, that's the bastard that killed me. He kinda just snuck up on me and by the time I heard the chainsaws he had already swiped and I was low on food not having found this guide yet.

aPerfektFIaw (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/member.php?u=2413) - I thought I'd help you out by making your guide a bit easier to read. I don't know about anyone else, but I had troubles reading the "psychos/survivors" section. I'll post here what I changed it to in a notepad for when I did these achievements (which is right now).

Day 1
Otis - Rooftop
Snipers - Leisure Park
Carlito - Food Court
Isabela - Al Fresca Plaza
Paul - Entrance Plaza
Adam - Wonderland Plaza

(Seeing as how you have to get the books anyways, you could hit the Entrance Plaza first by going through the door opposite the vent, get the book, kill Paul, and then go back through to kill Otis)

Day 2
Rich - Food Court (Showed up at 1 Day 10 Hours)
Convicts - Leisure Park
Carlito - Maintenance Tunnel
Cletus - North Plaza
Cliff - Crislips
Sean - Wonderland Plaza
Carlito - Entrance Plaza
Greg - Security Room
Jo - Rooftop

Day 4
Stephen - Food Court

I tried to organize the days into something that you could just run through in a straight line (or circle) from where you start in the security room (based on the understanding that they appear right from the get-go rather than spawning at a certain time and date). You can go from the Entrance Plaza to Paradise Plaza, and take the washroom shortcut over to Wonderland Plaza to kill Adam on the first day. So far I've spent most of my time camping out in the Food Court. I would suggest that on Day 2, you do Crislips first. Unless Cletus is in plain sight from when you enter.

Rooftop
1. Cabbage in plain site after exiting the vent near where the baseball bat is located.

Leisure Park
1. 3 Cookies and 1 Snack under the wooden structures near the flower beds.

Wonderland Plaza
1. Grapefruit - Near the north-most bunny there are two make-up kiosks. On top of the southern-most kiosk is where you will find it (as xfrancox previously stated).

Warehouse
1. Squash on a box in a corner near the elevator.
2. A floating box with some food in it. After exiting the elevator, follow the S shaped shelving. You can't miss it.

[killerharu45]

in crislips on day 1 i found Bill. it was about 12-13 hours in. More Food for me.:)

[Tommy Gun 81]

I can't find the last one in Colombian Roastmasters...where the hell is this green sign!? There are some sort of green signs and i took a pic of all of them but nothing happened!? HELP

[Tommy Gun 81]

No i have a serious problem, i found them all and took a pic of everything, it just won't give me the achievement :(

[zebatov]

Then you must not have found them all. The green sign in the coffee shop is hanging off of the outer wall, nearest to the north set of stairs leading down to near the guitar shop. You have to take it from inside the coffee shop from an angle.

[Tommy Gun 81]

*bump*

Any updates here? Can you start it from the opening screen or is it a must to play through the whole game again!?

[Tommy Gun 81]

A strange thing happened to me, i was waiting in the PP plaza to get the Frank the pimp achievement and suddenly i died out of nowhere. As i loaded the game again it said 'Outdoorsman' accomplished. I never put a single foot out the bathroom for over a day at this time...well, i took it anyway :)

[zam]

I just can't seem to get a shot of the northwest part of the tower, I'm standing in the garden but just can't seem to get it :confused::(

Sorry i havent added much more - its my first post and ive been playing the game for the last 30 odd hours so icould start infinity mode dressed tottally as megaman - times are reasonably accurate as i walked back and forth between places to check

[aPerfektFIaw]

Sorry guys I've had a busy weekend (and a minor run in with the police over my expired car inspection sticker, which I didnt even realize).

I have a lot to do here too! But I'll get on it ASAP... thanks for the work you put into this zebatov and jah nix! :p

[Kif]

The easiest way to do this is to just start 72 hour mode and then hang out inside/outside depending on what achievement you are going for. Just ignore all calls and concentrate on the achievement.

[Tracker4502]

My first play through I got the A-ending, then purposely died in overtime mode because I was curious as to what would happen. I started 72 hour mode again, finished it with C, then started Overtime mode (again). At the end I still got "Unbreakable".

PS: Try to get through the entire tunnel on two bars of health, no healing items. I did it, go me.:woop:

[DayWalkerCB]

hallo. this is my first post in this very nice forum.
at first i have one question to the "Gourmet" achievement.

what is "Squash" at the supermarket? Iám from German and i don´t no what that it?

can me anyone help what Squash is in GERMAN?:confused:

thanks.

[xfrancox]

Im glad the guide has been helping people. And to answer your question Squash is a type of fruit, and you can find it in the produce section of the grocery. Not sure if this is right but I through Squash in to a translator and got this, Kürbis.

[zam]

Sorry 'bout the bump but this is the only PP sticker I have left to take and I just can't seem to get it.. Anyone have any pointers on where to stand, what to aim for (exactly what to aim for, not just the tower in general) and how much to zoom?

[C Kecheran]

for the indoorsman achievement can you just stand in the security room for 24 hours to get the achievement. and for the outdoorsman achievement can you just stand on the helipad to get that achievement. if these dont work could you please tell me why and if there are any other easier ways to do this. thanks a bunch.

[Crash]

Yes, you can unlock them that way.

[C Kecheran]

thanks a lot mate thats a lot of help;)

I thought id add - your life drops a box at 100secs and 5 secs = 1minute game time so you have roughly 10-12 minutes between health topups
300 secs = 1 hour game time = 5 minutes real time so 65 minutes real time is equal to an hour in the game
whew if that makes sense then finding the times will be easier (cause you can look at your own watch and know what time it is in infinity mode!)

[madhead4000]

Your health goes down 1 bar every 100 seconds. Also on your frank the pimp guide it doesnt get 8 female survivers does it?

[zebatov]

I thought id add - your life drops a box at 100secs and 5 secs = 1minute game time so you have roughly 10-12 minutes between health topups

whew if that makes sense then finding the times will be easier (cause you can look at your own watch and know what time it is in infinity mode!)

I wouldn't suggest "topping up" your health at 10 to 12 minutes. If I have an OJ or the caffeine, pizza or steak, I wait until the very end of the last bar of health, as it maxes the bar, plus all 12 squares.

It takes 20 minutes for Frank to die from full health.

aPerfektFIaw (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/member.php?u=2413) - No worries, man. I'm finding more as I play along. Hopefully the third times a charm. My cousin came over over the weekend so Frank had to have a run-in with the zombies :(

[RiddlingCat]

But, make sure that you controller doesn't turn off, or else it'll pause the game and it won't count towards the achievement, so make sure that doesn't happen.

[zebatov]

I got it in Infinite Mode finally! Yay!

If you have a play and charge kit...plug it in your controller and it won't turn off.

[spire1]

hey i tried to do the pimp acheivment like you said at the top of the page but got to step 10 ,went to Paradise plaza and got the cult scene... so i reloaded and instead went to northplaza and went back to wonderland and the bunny people wernt there, i did the same in the foodcourt. i killed everyone like you said and only have the kent photo thing left (it still has like 10 hours on it)... Where did i go wrong? has this happened to anyone else?

Id say its pretty obvious you'd top up at the last box - You got about 12 minutes grace to be away from your 360 is what my point is... and also how to tell the time in infinity

I usually set the alarm on my cell phone and close my eyes for 18 minute periods, getting up to refill health. I've gone to cook food and showered in between too. I think it's the most fucking rediculous thing that you can't save. At least like 5 times would be good. I've also noticed you can climb things in this mode that you can't climb in 72 hour mode.

Here's a big one. Look for clocks around the mall. They tell the time so you don't have to load rooms or do any math. I was in Al Fresca Plaza and there's a clock behind the counter. Good thing I saw that.

[Tracker4502]

Ok, I found a way to do "Frank the Pimp" that combines multiple strategies I found. Here it is.

1. Do Cases 1-1 through 1-4.

2. Rescue Greg from Adam the Clown.

3. Do Case 2-1.

4. Kill all other survivors BEFORE 10:30 AM of the second day.

5. Pick up Pamela and Heather in Paradise Plaza at 11 AM (There is no call for these two).

6. Kill Ron in Paradise Plaza at 11 AM (After you get his call).

7. Wait in the Girl's Bathroom in Paradise Plaza until Noon, then get the "Above the Law" scoop.

8. Go to Wonderland Plaza through the shortcut, and bring your girls with you to the "Above the Law" Scoop.

9. Kill Jo QUICKLY, then free her captives.

10. Take your 6 girls to the Girls' Bathroom in Wonderland Plaza.

11. Go through the Shortcut back to Paradise Plaza.

12. Free the girl in the crate after the cutscene QUICKLY. You will spawn next to the movie theatre, but your girls will spawn in the bathroom. So you have about 2 minutes tops before they start dieing.

13. Take your 7 girls to the Entrance Plaza for the "Mark of the Sniper" Call.

14. Leave your girls in the entrance to the Entrance Plaza, equiping at LEAST one of them with an SMG.

15. Kill the snipers, then kill the survivor for the Scoop.

16. Exit the Entrance Plaza, and get the call about "The Antique Lover".

17. Re-enter Entrance Plaza and kill the Antique Man.

18. Exit once again, but this time you MUST save. This is because you have to kill one of your girls (if one hasn't died already). I say save because the girls sometimes defect when they see another girl die, and that would stink if you lost 3 girls instead of one.

19. Once you kill one, get "The Girl Who Didn't Make It" scoop.

19. Drop your girls off again, go chase down the last two girls, and you'll finally have 8. Good job!:woop:

[C Kecheran]

thanks for all your help

[aPerfektFIaw]

think i found the reason why the Frank the Pimp wasnt working for some of you... so i made a few minor adjustments to it in the achievement guide, check it out and let me know how that one works out

[C Kecheran]

i am trying to get the zombie ride achievement but i dont know what to do. i hav seen other posts sayin that if u goto the leisure park and outside the food court there are lots of zombies. what to i hav to do to use the zombie ride manouver or what ever u do to get it. thanks to anyone who replys

[C Kecheran]

jeeze i dont even know wot its called "zombie road" everyone ;)

[eggnog]

OK, first, please don't double post. That's what we have the EDIT button for.

Once you unlock the Zombie Ride ability (check in your abilities in the menu, if you see it, you can use it, if not, keep leveling up until you get it) go to Leisure park or wherever there are large groups of zombies together (Maintenence tunnels work well also) and run up infront of a zombie and press "A" to jump onto his head, and then move around his head with the analog stick. Small circle patterns work well, just keep going until you unlock it.

Good luck, send me a FR on xbox live if you still need help.

[C Kecheran]

ok didnt know about the edit thing but thanks.

[spire1]

thats exctly what i did and it worked fine (except one my girls died on the way their anyway). thanks

[brabbijt]

i exactly followed your instructions, but the frank the pimp achievement didn't work for me, because the 2 people hanging off the bunny statue don't trigger. here's how i did it:

1. waited until 9pm (defeated carlito in the food court in the mean time, but then just waited in the court, brad is still alive)
2. killed adam, let guy open shortcut and killed him
3. waited till 9am
4. went to al fresca plaza and killed coward
5. went to north plaza and killed cliff with the machete
6. killed cliffs three prisoners
7. waited till 11am anf went to paradise plaza to first kill ron in the sandwich store and then save the two girls in the toy store
8. waited till 12pm and did the fat cop scoop, rescued 4 girls and went back to paradise plaza bathroom with a total of 6 girls
9. waited till 4pm, and went back to wonderland plaza, but the guys hanging from the bunny statue didn't trigger :eek::confused:
10. if i go back, the cult scene starts and i rescue jennifer, but i only have seven girls then...



can anyone tell me what i did wrong? can it have something to do with the main storyline, e.g. that brad is still alive at this time oder that i defeated carlito at the beginning? do i have to find the strange professor in the book store?

[spire1]

for the phsyco photo acheivment do the snipers count as one together? can you take a photo of just one of them. because i photographed all the other psychos but when i went to take a photo of the snipers one of there heads was in the wall and it wouldnt recognise him

[xfrancox]

Each of them count as their own picture.

[DONK]

Real noob question but im going for the survivor achievements..

You must stop the mutiny by Kindell and Ron or the survivors won’t count in the end.

What do you mean by that? and how do I make sure i stop it.

[xfrancox]

You should receive a call from Otis about the Mutiny that Kindell is planning. It will become a new case, all you have to do is go back and talk to him.

[DONK]

ooo simple then, thanks :)

[xfrancox]

No problem mang. Welcome to the site.

[LoadedCannon]

i think i recall getting a call from otis after picking up the tunnel key in the room where brad gets scoffed.

can anybody confirm this? may just be my imagination.

[wrog]

Just your imagination.

I'm having difficulty getting the PP Stickers on the clocktower out in Leisure Park... Any idea of where it's best to stand in order to get them?


Edit: Ok, I've gotten two of them... I was up to close trying to take the photos. I'm still lacking one of them and have tried standing in different plaes to see if the PP Sticker would pop up, but it hasn't.

does anyone think they can upload a clip of the zombie ride because i still cant figure it out, it might just be me or my character but i am confused

[invincible rob]

You Do not need the two in the meat processing facility, ive just got the achievement and becuase I was doing the bombs level and photographing at the same time I didnt go into the meat processing place.

[Monsterbox]

This was such a huge help. If I did everything right, I should be able to get this, Saint and clothes horse on the same save this afternoon. Just need the kids to stop playing Lego Star Wars long enough for me to do it. :p lol

[Tracker4502]

Look, here's how you do it.

Go from any Plaza (except the Food Court) and enter Leisure Park. Go over to the food court entrance, and walk up to a zombie that is not currently trying to eat you (just walking around). Don't attack it, just press "A". You should climb on top of it. Once the zombie are swarming around you, start walking in little circles. It will take about 10 seconds for you to get the achievement.

If you just can't seem to do his, find a lone zombie. Hope on top of it about 50 times or more, and you will get the achievement. This works because it's total time walked on zombies, not one walk.

How about you click on the link I posted earlier in this thread, then scroll to the last picture in the album. Question answered.:cool:

[Tracker4502]

Ok, I'll just re-iterate this so the questions may stop.

About two weeks ago I got the "Transmissionary" Achievement. I followed this guide to the point, getting all the calls listed on the Guide, and stopping the plot before the Car-Bomb Case (forgot the number). I got no extra calls not listed on the guide, and once I finished the game, I got "Transmissionary" and "Saint".

So yes, the guide is absolutely complete. All other calls are made by JESSIE. Since the Achievement says "Answer all calls from OTIS", the calls by Jessie are not needed. This should leave all questions about the accuracy of this guide to rest.;)

[Tommy Gun 81]

This is great, worked perfect. As soon as Otis calls you at 8 PM on the last day the achievement comes up.

Great work!!!

[brabbijt]

in finally got frank the pimp, but i still found an easier and faster way ;)

1.) after you kill the hatchetman and his hostages in north plaza, leave to leisure park right trough the exit near crislip's
2.) in leisure park, pick up sophie, who's running away from the jeep
3.) in paradise plaza, kill ron and pick up pam and heather. at that point you have 3 girls with you
4.) wait in the bathroom till the fat cop scoop and save the girls (7 girls at that point)
5.) return to paradise plaza and save the girl from the cult (bingo, 8 girls)

[captainjy]

I left the 360 on for a period of 2 hours trying to get the Outdoorsman achievement, but noticed the menu would keep popping up about every 15-20 minutes. Any way to get around that? Why does it keep popping up?

I have pretty much come to realize that I will never get all of the achievements. I have been playing DR for nearly 2 weeks and though I like the game a lot, it's very annoying. Wondering about a few achievements before I give up-

Right now I am stuck on the Bomber mission and if I just sit around, the game will end, but can I restart and just sit on the helipad to get the 3 day survivor achievement?

I nearly max level of 50 and am sure I can get this one.

Any other way to get Perfect Gunner without going to the meat shop?

Any help appreciated!

[SaiSpag]

Dunno about the menu popping up, might be to prevent you from just leaving the game alone and letting time tick up to the end, I left it on Frank's watch for 1 in-game hour and it didn't pause, that's the longest I have tried.

The 3-day survivor has to be done in Unlimited mode, doing it in 72-Hour mode won't count.

Maintenance Tunnels and just try not to miss? Or maybe the bodies that are hanging from the ceiling when you fight Machette Cletus?

[Webb]

That's not entirely true. The 3 day survivor can be done in 72 hour mode ;) Yes you can sit at the helicopter pad for that long as well. But you may as well do some other things instead of waiting there. If you don't wanna come up against the bomb case, just don't do the story.

[Crash]

I left the 360 on for a period of 2 hours trying to get the Outdoorsman achievement, but noticed the menu would keep popping up about every 15-20 minutes. Any way to get around that? Why does it keep popping up?
Are you using a wireless controller. The game will pause when the controller turns itself off after 10-15 minutes. If you have a charge kit to plug it in to the system or a wired controller, that should fix your problem.

Actually the 3-day can be done in 72 hour mode. Only the 5 day and 7 day are in unlimited mode. And yes you should be able to get it if you just want to sit at the helipad all three days, but where's the fun in that?


Maintenance Tunnels and just try not to miss?
Maintenance tunnels are a good place. Lots of zombies, hard to miss them.

[Nukeshell]

The "Frozen Dreams" Sign in the Food Court won't give me a PP Sticker! I've been trying every place I could but it just doesn't see, to trigger.

PS: Is there anyway to see which you already got and which not?

[zam]

I know that it says that this achievement is 1 Play but after taking all but one sticker in one run, I unlocked the achievement in the next run when I took the missing achievement..

[Crash]

PS: Is there anyway to see which you already got and which not?

Some of them can be hard to get just the right angle to trigger it. Just look for the % in the bottom center of the screen. If it shows up then you will get it. If it doesn't show a grey circle around the sticker when you take the picture then it didn't count, or you already had it (if done right you can sometimes get two in one shot).

As far as knowing which ones you got already, the best thing to do is print the list and check them as you get them. The game doesn't tell you.

[fugitivetoby31]

For the break a 100 items, what exactly counts as an item?

I have broken every piece of glass a few times over plus smashed some cash registers (tills) and nothing.
Sorry for the dumb question its just doing my head in now.

[Crash]

For the break a 100 items, what exactly counts as an item?

I am pretty sure that it only counts items that are being used as weapons. So for example breaking a register with your bat wouldn't count the same as using the register and breaking it over a zombies head.

[SaiSpag]

It means when you use an item until it breaks. Any item you can pick up counts as they can all break eventually. Baseball Bats, 2"x4", Metal Pole, Guns, etc.

Also, if 4 are dead than you can no longer get the Saint achievement. There are 53 possible survivors in the mall. I think 1 of them has to die (Barnaby/Simone) so that brings it down to 52.

[diablofreak]

is this possible in the overtime mode? im in OT mode with a save with all the Queens except for one, with 12 hours left, before I give the final bee to Isabella I may go to the butcher shop with a machine gun to get this achievement.

[diablofreak]

many times the cardboard boxes in the warehouse (going to/from the security room) contains squash, cabbage, or frozen vegetable as well.

and yeah. great guide. i got my achievement thanks to this.

[diablofreak]

i would save the game before giving the final bee to isabella, then stock up on some food for the tunnel

[captainjy]

Thanks for the replies, guys. Yeah, we do have a wireless controller. We just have a battery charger and no on the fly charger while we play.

Let me ask this, there may still be hope, on the Bomb mission, I just don't have enough time. By the time I start it, I am already in the yellow. I managed to kill Carlito and find all 5 bombs, but after finding them, I ran into the meat plant and it blew up. What do I do after I get all 5 bombs?

[Webb]

You have to drive them out of the maintenance tunnels because of the gas in there. You should have enough time, just rethink your route...

Look here (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7873) for tips

Many thanks for the reply & SaiSpag, that makes sense. I will stop wasting my time on windows lol.

I assume all stats save over so it will be one of those achievements that just pops up after playing thru the game a few times.

Thanks again.

[Tracker4502]

Here's is how you can keep track:

A) Zoom in as much as you can on the PP sticker you think you have.

B) If there is a little red check or slash on the sticker, you have gotten it already.

C) If you have gotten the sticker already, you CAN NOT take a picture of it again. So if you're having trouble taking a picture of a PP sticker, it might be because you already have it.

[diablofreak]

067-069 appear after you defeat Clevis. You have to save them before Case 6.

Simone appears after you activate Santa Cabeza case (case 6 I think). She will be hurt and refuse to go until you tell her that you have Isabella in the Security room.

How do you get Sarah and Nate down from the stuffed bear? I beat all the zombies, which did nothing. Do I have to throw something at them?

i used a handgun and aimed at their hands :uzi:. they fall right off

[Crash]

B) If there is a little red check or slash on the sticker, you have gotten it already.

Haha I never noticed that. Shows how observant I can be sometimes :p

I already knew about the first thing.

And I'll just get the others, and hope that I've already taken a picture from it.

Sorry to sound like such a newb here, but the guide says Randomizer + Randomizer, but what exacly is Randomizer?

[xfrancox]

Randomizer is one of the drinks you can make.

Randomizer (Black) - Baguette + Cooking Oil -Random effects, has been know to cause stomach pains.

[captainjy]

Thanks man! Appreciate the help.

[Mr Arrow]

A BIG thanks to Franco and all who added help here, I just got this achievement today! :Bounce:

[Mr Arrow]

(In the words of Ali G) Big Up to everyone who added helpful information here. I just got this achievement today :Bounce:

Thanks.

[Reluctant Stool]

I think I may be a little retarded in asking this. Does "1 Play" mean I have to complete the achievement without saving, then returning later.
e.g. The Zombie Genocider one. Say I kill 20,000 then get bored so I save. Then return at a later time to continue. Even though the number killed tally in the bottom right will say 20,000 will I get the achivement if I carry on? Or do I have to slog through a few hours of it?

[xfrancox]

You can save as many times as you want, it just needs to be in one game.

[Reluctant Stool]

You can save as many times as you want, it just needs to be in one game.

Excellent, thank you. I assume that it's the same for all "1 Play requirements"? Such as PP collector then?

[xfrancox]

Yep, you got it.

[PaleGringo]

Just as a note on this area:

---

Indoorsman
TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Spend at least 24 hours indoors. 20 http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e27/RoutineX/xbimages/icon-gp.jpg
This must be 24 consecutive hours indoors. You can get this by starting a new game and going inside to the security room and just leaving your 360 on for a while. 24 in game hours should equal to about 43 minutes and 20 seconds real time.


Outdoorsman
TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Spend at least 24 hours outdoors. 20 http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e27/RoutineX/xbimages/icon-gp.jpg
This must be 24 consecutive hours outdoors. You can get this by starting a new game and staying right there on the roof once you get dropped off. Leave your 360 on for a while and check the time every now and then. 24 in game hours should equal to about 43 minutes and 20 seconds real time.

---

I clocked it and 12 game hours pass in 1 hour actual time. And that means I'll have Indoorsman in about 58 minutes. Just as a note.

[gamerfreak23]

Well I have read this forums to answer my questions be4 but couldn't find answer this time so decided to register:p

Anyway, in the PP collector achievement i can't find where to take the picture of the frosty dreams sign in the food court. I am POSSITIVE this is the only one I am missing, so let me know if u know where to take the picture of the PP sticker on the frozen dreams sign i been working on it for hours..... Thx.

[invincible rob]

Try on top of the Stand Thing, jump on it and the pp sticker icon should appear, worked for me and I've got all the pp stickers.

[Reluctant Stool]

Got outdoorsman in 2 hours real time. About to check if Indoorsman is the same for me.

[PaleGringo]

Got outdoorsman in 2 hours real time. About to check if Indoorsman is the same for me.

That's what I just said...

12 hours game time = 1 hour real time, so 24 hours game time = 2 hours real time.

I was testing my theory by:

A) Noting that the in-game clock is moving A LOT SLOWER than a day every 43'20". If that were the case, you'd have only 2 hours and 10 minutes to go through the entire game. It's actually 6 hours.

B) Once I got my Outdoorsman achievement, MORE than two hours (slightly) had passed - indicating it took me a bit longer to notice it.

C) Timing the next 12 hours using teh intarweb's free stopwatch thingees whilst I surf'd said intarweb.

D) Formed a hypothesis about getting my indoorsman in 58 minutes from when I posted, which was also true.

-----

Some more things I found out:

By doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for 6 hours, just standing on the helipad, Carlito DOES NOT MOVE all three days, standing there too. You will complete the game with Ending B.

Also, saving AFTER you beat the game does in fact erase your other save point, effectively nullifying your test save (I have my actual game on my HDD and my test/achievement save on my MU).

[gamerfreak23]

Got the achievement:woop: . Was accually missing one of the easiest PP stickers the one on the servebot in child's play in paradice plaza. Thx for your help though

[invincible rob]

Nice one, Welcome to the site by the way.

[Reluctant Stool]

Try on top of the Stand Thing, jump on it and the pp sticker icon should appear, worked for me and I've got all the pp stickers.

Sorry, but what's 'the stand thing'? The slanted roofs that divide the food stalls and the dining tables you mean? I couldn't get this one or the chef's head on the wall.

[Reluctant Stool]

That's what I just said...

12 hours game time = 1 hour real time, so 24 hours game time = 2 hours real time.



Sorry, I'm THAT bad at maths. Nice bit of testing though. Good work.

[Tarthos]

uhh.. If you hold Isabela's hand in the tunnels, you won't get hurt. THere are a couple seconds where you have to let go (open doors, get off platforms), but other than that, it's pretty easy to be untouched.

[Sakura]

I had one question: Does this archivements unlocks on the same way as the Saints Archivement?

I´m now at the 6 Day in Dead Rising and have not yet received the archivement for stay alive 5 Days.

[invincible rob]

Yeah the Meat Stand's you'll see that there in a semi-circle fomation go to the right end of them and theres some barrles climb on the then climb on the top of the stand then hop along other stands till you get a good shot, and as for the chef's head, do you mean the one at the front of 'chris's fine foods' or the back of chris's fine foods?

[Reluctant Stool]

I meant the head statue surrounded by smaller pictures on the wall. But it was no wonder I couldn't get the picture right. I looked closer and found that PP sticker crossed out. I never remembered taking a photo of it. In fact I had quite a few crossed out already. Very strange as I didn't even take photos until I started this achievement.

[Sgt Hobo]

you have to unlock 5 and 7 day survivor in infinite mode, which is unlocked after you beat overtime mode. In infinite mode your health is always draining, which makes it more difficult than any other mode. For 5 day survivor it's 10 hours in infinite mode, not including loading screens, and 14 hours for 7 day survivor, not including loading screens. Hope this helps.

[enXian]

Hey specified what bunny! i lost the guys hangin!!!!:mad:

I think he means he's on Day 6 in Infinite mode, and has not yet received the achievement for 5 Day Survivor.

[Ratgax]

I've been trying to get a photo of that sticker. I've tried angles from inside Roastmasters, but no way... I can't get the %.

Any advice about this one?

[Reluctant Stool]

I got it by standing next to the table in the window. Try checking that the PP sticker isn't crossed out like I found.

[Reluctant Stool]

Tried this 3 times now. The AI is just so ridiculously bad I can't complete it. Greg just stands there while I have to carry the limping woman around and I can't even give him anything to heal. I prefer to let the zombies have them because the undead seem to have more intelligence than this bunch.

[Sakura]

yes - i have played 14 hours in infinite mode - but didnt get the archivement - i just start again :mad:

[Mr Arrow]

I prefer to let the zombies have them because the undead seem to have more intelligence than this bunch.


ROFL....you have a good point. :woop:

[diablofreak]

you're right. i went to get food to prepare for the final boss fight not knowing that you have to fight without anything!!! argh

but i think you would be able to keep punching the boss till he dies (i was at level 50) when you do straight punches the boss would block but the energy drains very slowly. i did this for a good while, got tired, and used some other moves and he is practically one hit away from dying, he threw me off the tank twice, a zombie got on top of me and pressed the wrong button, now i have one block of health left, he come running at me and i do a jump kick. bam. game over. what a stupid ending it is...

back on topic, i did this at level 50 (leveling up by getting survivors in the 72 hour mode twice) and started overtime mode and never got captured by the special forces, and got this achievement.

[Bleed]

I just completed 72 hours mode, then overtime mode, without being knoked out(or killed) by special forces, neither the final boss, and still I can't get the achievement.
Dunno what to do :(

[Fartmaster UEO]

someone may have posted it before but if you go down in the meat processing center and empty a clip of the swat gun in the chunk of meat .. You will get the achievement

[Chris764]

thanks this helped a lot

[Goulishnakov]

damn i was at the gunshop and i had a photo of the vent 100% PP but i couldnt find a way to show them the pick...no talk option came up ...so i thought bugger it ill come back later. so next possible chance i went back and the bastards had disappeared....so im on 47 saved...........all that escorting effort down the drain arrrgh..

[Mr Arrow]

Thanks for the guide.

Do you know if the calls transfer to the next time you play or do you have to start again and get them all?

[Bleed]

Ok, I started over the overtime and got the achievemnt.

[Mr Arrow]

76: Tad - Green - Can be saved
Tad Hawthorne (31)
Was held captive by Kent.
You rescue him after defeating Kent in Psycho mode at noon on day 3.




OH CRAP - DO NOT BE LATE TO THIS ONE

I was going for the transmissionary calls at the same time as going for this one. On the trasmissionary guide it says to NOT be in Paradise plaza at noon to get a call from Otis.

34.21st/Noon Anywhere but Paradise Plaza -
"A Woman in Despair" scoop transmission.

I showed up after noon about 12:45, beat the snot out of Kent and went looking for Tad - guess what? He turns into an f*ing zombie if you're not on time at noon!!! No picture, no achievement - AAARRRGGGHHH :mad:

So I'll be playing this AGAIN - at least the notebook carries over so I'll be ready for this bitch next time - and after I take his picture I'm going to blow his f*ing head off!

[RiddlingCat]

I finally did it :p It was thanks giving (Canada) on monday, so from 9 in the morning to 12:30 at night it was all infinite mode :p Obviously not worth 40 gamer points, but I can show it off :woop: How did it feel to those who got it once you saw the 7 day survivor achievement pop up ?

[Volsky]

How did it feel to those who got it once you saw the 7 day survivor achievement pop up ?

I must honestly say i am still waiting, dead rising doesn't like me very much, so i am waiting for my guide book thing to arrive before i tackle it again.

[JustTrio]

It felt good until the clock just kept running, so I let myself get eaten at 7 days and 43 minutes. Later I took a look at the leaderboard where people have stayed alive 16+ days. I don't find Infinity mode enjoyable enough to dedicate 32 hours to it, especially with the glitches/hangs people have reported.

[RiddlingCat]

32 real hours is way too much ... Once I survived for 7 days, I just let myself get killed because a) my 360 wa s close to blowing up b) it was late and I had to go c) after 14 hours of playing DR and getting your achievements, you don't care to play any longer :p

[enXian]

hey guys my level is slowly go down!

and why appears in red saving in the suvivor mode overwrites the other game saves?

if i play in this mode and overwrite my past saves my status saves on the other games???

[Kif]

Your level is supposed to slowly go down. The point is to survive, so you need to stock up on food and consume it rationally.

And you can't save in Overtime mode. That would completely ruin the point of it.

[enXian]

thanks for that! i think i can make it

[Bleed]

I wanna crash this game :D
I took 8 bloody ladies to the security room.... such a pain in the ass.... in the end no achievement :<
Bug?

[Kif]

Just a suggestion for the guide, why not list safe spots to store food? I know that between the food in some areas and the psychos/survivors, there are sometimes too many pieces of food for you to carry. So I just store some in a safe place and then grab the rest.

Common places like top where Carlito fires from in the Food Court, the eating area rooftop in the Leisure Park, bookcases in the book stores, shelf area in Paradise Plaza.

Nice little guide on Infinite mode. It's not that hardest, just takes a bit of getting into really.

[Mr Arrow]

OK - I was able to answer my question. Going for it this weekend.

[aPerfektFIaw]

hey guys... i havent been on the dead rising forum in a long while, but to the people that said they followed the guide exactly, and not getting the achievement, you must be missing something...

not trying to bust or anything but more people are saying they got it by following this guide, than not...

though it can be something small, such as a tiny glitch? I wouldnt want to think so, but it may be possible...

You dont have to use this guide, by all means try to find something else online if you can... but i can assure you this is probably one of the best

[eggnog]

The guide is VERY accurate, I think the problem is that it requires careful planing, organization and concentration to get this achievement.

Anthing that requires you to do more than 'load and quit' or 'press a+b' to get an achievement maybe be "challenging" for some users.

Don't let the mouth-breathers get you down, you've done good work Perfekt.

[zam]

i found and used this guide for Frank the Pimp and the Tour Achievement.. It was a lot easyer this way... the credits goes to the person who wrote this guide ( i don`t now any name) i only copy and paste...

Frank the Pimp
TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Simultaneously escort 8 female survivors.
This is how I did it and i found this way extremely easy.

1. Ignore everything until 9pm the first day
2. kill Adam the clown in wonderland, let the guy open the shortcut, then kill him
3. wait in the bathroom til the coward scoop at 9am 2nd day and head to North Plaza
4. Kill the coward, then head over to kill the hatchetman
5. kill everyone locked in the room next to where you killed the hatchetman
6. go to wonderland plaza for the lovers and kill them

Notice at this point you have no survivors... theres a reason for this. You would have to lug these people around while doing these tasks, taking the risk of killing them. But here's where you start your rescues, and you only have to go between Paradise Plaza and Wonderland via the shortcut.

7. by this time it should be nearly 11am... grab pam and heather from paradise plaza (by the toy store first floor)
8. if its after 11am go kill ron in the sandwich shop, if not head back to wonderland plaza and wait til 11am then back to paradise plaza to kill ron
9. wait in paradise bathroom til 12pm then go do "above the law" scoop in wonderland plaza
10. head back to paradise plaza bathroom until 3pm
11. go back to wonderland plaza for the 2 people hanging off the bunny (kill the guy, save the girl)
12. head back to paradise plaza for the cult scene, and save the girl from the crate

please note that it is very important to do steps 8-12 in order

grtz dave

The problem with this way is that the cult scene happens before the people hanging off the bunny spawns, and yet I have to do steps 8-12 in order..

[HIGH PSI]

i cant get 3 of the pp stickers.

the 3 in question are the 3 of the clock tower in pleasure park,i know the sides are north south and east...but i dont know which angle to take them on,ive gone through sets of batteries trying to get the bastards.

somebody help me b4 i go berserko:uzi:

[invincible rob]

In the lesiure park there is a ring of benchs with flowers in the middle, go to the very middle of here and look at the top of the clock tower theres one.

Climb on top of the hut type thing that has barrels next to it, look straight at the clock tower theres another.

the third is a little difficult and I can't remember, but I'm sure if you go to the pond, jump out and walk towards the clock tower, it should appear some time then.
Watch out for zombies though.
Good luck.

[HIGH PSI]

thanx mate,yeah those three are perfect got em all first try with that advice. one thing though,when you've taken the 100 pp stickers does the achievement unlock straight away or do have to wait till the 72 hours are up?

[HIGH PSI]

I thought it would be a good idea to post the method that worked best for you killing psychopaths. Some of them are pretty tricky and I know I wouldnt mind the extra help.


Machete Guy (Cliff):
I brought an SMG and would stand on top of the shelves and just shoot him as he ran to his holes and as he was standing on the shelves. After I wore him down some and ran out of bullets I went in close with a katana and was able to beat him. Dont forget to take pictures as he jumps into his holes for lots of PP points. Also watch out for his flares and grenades.


Convicts in the park (Not considered psychopaths):
Many people have mentioned taking guns such as an SMG and some pistols, or a sniper rifle from the gun shop, and shooting them. Killing the gunner first seems to help and make sure to kill all 3. Someone had mentioned jumping on top of the roof a picnic area and shooting them from there as they run into the structure helps. If you want to get rid of them for good make sure to blow up the vehicle or else they will return after you leave. The sniper rifle is in the gun shop which is in the north side of the mall.


The Clown (Adam):
When the clown blows a balloon shoot it and he will start coughing. Once he is coughing either shoot him from a distance or go in close with a katana or your choice of close combat weapon.

Guy in the Gunshop (Cletus):
Bring a gun or two with you (handgun from cop or SMG). As soon as the cut scene is over leave the shop and stand outside. Kill any zombies around you so you dont have to worry about them. Stand outside the shop from a comfortable distance and just take shots at him as he walks back and forth. Every once in a while he'll shoot a few out the door but stay behind the door or wall and you should be ok. If you need more bullets or youre running low on health there should be cops (carrying handguns) around as well as jugs of milk around.

Cult leader in the theater (Sean):
Go to the sword shop and fill up on katanas (you can get one from food court if you just want one) and after the cutscene happens run outside and stand half way between the doors and movies. Let him come and swing, swipe at him run outside, repeat.. If you need health go to the other theaters and stock up on food. It takes awhile to get this but it was the safest/easiest way.

Overtime Boss (Brock):
The trick with this fight is keeping your distance until you need to attack. This will reduce your chances of getting grabbed. Two moves seem to work well against him, the jump kick, and the double lariat. Attack and then retreat, try not to give him a chance to get the upper hand. If you get knocked off try to Zombie Ride as soon as possible. Then make your way back to the tank.
the hall family,the three snipers in the entrance plaza

their dead easy,all you need is two bottles of oj and some katanas(you can even pick up fresh swords or axe's from Niks Nicknackery.
Gameplan,just ran at them,keep weaving to dodge their shots,their pretty newb snipers so you should only get shot around twice and it doesnt take anywhere near as much damage as when you take on Carlito when he's got a Barret. Once you get close enough the cowards just run,sniping is their only attack so when you get close they cant shoot,so just give chase hacking as you go.

[invincible rob]

You get it straight away, I think I only had to get 98, while I was in the maintenence tunnel, I got the achievement after I took the photo of the last bomb truck, I never went into the meat processing facility and deffinatly didn't get the two PP stickers in there.

[HIGH PSI]

The achievement states that you must take all pp stickers in 1 play. I have been pissed off trying to unlock this achievement more so dismornig when i finished 72 hour mode for the 3rd time and it said i only took 98 pp stickers even though i went through the list provived on the forums twice.

So once again started new game and started taking pp stickers and i only got up to around my 12th sticker when i unlocked the achievement.

I'm not the only one to have found this happening either,ive read numerous other post from members who have experienced the same thing.

Im just glad that shit's over with cause it was driving me nuts:eek:

[invincible rob]

My guess is: Delayed Achievement, like I said on the other thread, I only got too 98 and I got the achievement.

[HIGH PSI]

havent tried this achievement yet,not looking forward to it though

[deadliest flame]

Thnx all for helping me out i have the achievement

[CovertDog]

Right where you find the car is the enterence to the maintence tunnels. Clear out the zombies, then back up to the wall facing the enterence to the maintence tunnel. From there just gun it. As long as you make it through the enterence without hitting anything you should get it. I heard this works for the motorcycle one to, but I couldn't get it to work.

[invincible rob]

The way to get the Motorcycle one is to get the motorcylce in the North Plaza, It's only there after you beat Isabella because she leaves it there.
Get on the Motorcycle, Find one of the ramps that are scatterd around the north plaza and do the obvious.

[deadliest flame]

thnx for the guides i'll try one of them out for sure i'll reply if i completed it

[Tripl299]

how do you jump the gate at the beginning??

[HIGH PSI]

yeah i got the motor cycle 1 in north plaza aswell,best place i found for the stunt driver achieve was leisure park,get the red convertible from the parking lot drive to north plaza then turn and face the lake,gun it, once you drive into the lake you wont slow down in the water and when you hit the other side get massive air.

i rolled it doing this and got the achieve at the same time

[Tripl299]

How do you jump over the entrance plaza gate at the beginning??

[triggerchief]

I get to the part where u fight kent and it says that theres a bloke who he is holding hostage, but i can find him, can anyone lend a hand, cheers.

[triggerchief]

when i defeat kent i dont no where to find his hostage could, someone lend a hand

[triggerchief]

I get to the part where u fight kent gone physco and it says that theres a bloke who he is holding hostage, but i cant find him, can anyone lend a hand, cheers.

if you could get back to me as quickly as possible that would be great.

[LeiChat]

Doh! Just noticed that the achievement descriptions have a "TYPE:", either "1 Play REQ" or "Total REQ"

For the benefit of anyone else (like me) who missed it, here's a list of the achievements marked "Total REQ" which I'm presuming indicates they're cumulative:

Full Set - Collect all portraits in the NOTEBOOK.
Item Smasher - Break at least 100 items.
Marathon Runner - Cover a distance of 26.2 miles.
Sharp Dresser - Change into at least 20 different costumes.
Clothes Horse - Change into all costumes available in the mall.
Level Max - Reach Lv.50

Here's a few that you might have hoped were, but aren't: :(

Karate Champ - Defeat at least 1,000 zombies barehanded.
Zombie Hunter, Killer & Genocider - Defeat at least 1k, 10k, 53,594 zombies.
Peace Keeper, Punisher - 5 & 10 psychopaths.
Saint - 50 survivors out of the mall !!?
Gourmet - Eat all types of food available in the mall.
PP Collector - Photograph all PP Stickers.
Bullet Point - Fire at least 1,000 bullets

[Bleed]

The problem with this way is that the cult scene happens before the people hanging off the bunny spawns, and yet I have to do steps 8-12 in order..
You need to save the girl from the "above the law" scoop as fast as you can, and rush to paradise plaza then wait for 3pm.

[LeiChat]

I was having trouble figuring out how to get into the parking lot, in case anyone else is... it's via leisure park, north west wall.
Once I'd found my way in and done the Stunt Driver I thought I'd have a crack at the 53k zombies achievements.
Results here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtVVsD1OXpk

[LeiChat]

To capture the convict truck , shoot the driver and the passenger, then jump in, the achievement will unlock, then kill the final guy on the gun, end of story
The killing them was kind of obvious, may I ask how you shot them? If I get close enough to then try and aim with the right trigger I end up getting shot by the guy on the back. Is there a sniper rifle or similar somewhere ?

[Crash]

Just noticed that the achievement descriptions have a "TYPE:", either "1 Play REQ" or "Total REQ"

Yes, you are correct. The ones labled "Total REQ" are cumulative, while "1 Play" is just 1 time through.


BTW, great job with the my360stats.com site.

[LeiChat]

Cheers Crash, I'm hoping to do some cross linking with x360a as it's my favourite site.

[Joey Jeckel]

^ There is a submachine gun on the Chris' sign in the food court. Kill the guy in the back first, then try to get the jeep to run into a tree. Go to the drivers side and hack him up with the katana, then his mate will take his place so kill him too.

[LeiChat]

Following the advice in this thread I unlocked the Zombie Genocider achievement last night.
I thought I'd capture the last thousand-ish on video to show the route I took in case it's of any help to others here.

[Ice Hunter]

I dont understand y i have so much trouble with the easy achivements but.. the indoor and outdoor ones arnt unlocking for me? Iv beat the game got ending A and started a new game in 72hr mode.. I have stood out side the seciruty room for 2 real hrs with no pause or nothing and no unlock. and about a hr real time inside it right at the start, so way more than 24hrs game time and no unlock? any ideas would be great. -thanks

[Ice Hunter]

well i got 1 after going into the mall and killing some zombies and waiting at least 3 real hrs so never mind I guess u had to go in the mall first? but any way it worked now.

[LeiChat]

excellent guide thank you all... I have 12 hours left in my latest 72 hour game and 19 survivors in the security room. :( I got my time wrong for Kindell thought I still had a chance to find him and the three in the gun shop wouldn't stop shooting me. don't think I had the photo. next time perhaps!

[LeiChat]

One of the three survivors in the Huntin Shack scoop (around midnight day 3 I think) has a machine gun which you can get by giving him something else making him drop the machine gun.
I kept that in my inventory until I'd completed Case 8-4 which left me in the meat room free of zombies.
Thought I'd post as some might find that easier than waiting for / killing a special forces dude.

[LeiChat]

...collect everything and fight boss...
If it's not too much of a spoiler, could you add the list of "everything" to the achievement guide for completing overtime mode please?
Alternatively, where do I find the list in game? I talk to Isabella and she tells me I have one but must get the others. (Presuming it was the first aid kit as I guessed that and it's not in my inventory now. I do have 3 queen wasps in my inventory when does she take those?)

Thanks for the hints JJ, I ended up unlocking the Real Mega Buster which you can take out the jeep gunner / driver from a safe distance with.

[UCSDpitcher]

You must be in paradise plaza when noon hits on that day, other wise his hostage will not appear, just wait around until the time Kent tells you to be there (noon I think) and fight him, then you can rescue him. If you're not there and he has to "find you" then Kent's hostage will not appear

[triggerchief]

cheers mate

[LeiChat]

For the second Kent meeting you only need an Erotica photo, if that's impressive enough he invites you back for another challenge 24 hours later.
On the 21st at noon as USCD said.

* spoiler *
I thought you had to take a picture of everyone for the "complete set" achievement but it unlocked as soon as I'd defeated Kent, before I released his hostage Tad.
If you haven't already got it, you might want to try for the escort 8 achievement while you wait the 24 hours for Kent, that's what I did.
Tad ended up being the 8th for me.

[Schloob]

Thanks OP, this made it nice and easy to get.

[LeiChat]

I missed one of the twins, think I have Heather and I've saved Jennifer already (the cult crate girl), both are in the Paradise Plaza toilets waiting for the Above the Law scoop. My plan is once I have those six to wait for the Long Haired Punk scoop. Are you sure it's max 8 survivors in the mall? Will me having 6 prevent the Long Haired Punk scoop triggering despite the fact I don't intend to save Adam ?

[LeiChat]

Apologies if I'm missing it, but is there a key to your colo(u)r coding please ?

[Joey Jeckel]

Thats right, long-haired punk will NOT trigger if you already have 6. Maybe save all but one from above the law (kill her) so you have 5 survivors, do long-haired punk, and kill paul to make 7. Then wait for til 12 o'clock for Simone to spawn in the cd store, if you've been following the main story.

[LeiChat]

I was doing the PP Collector so haven't been doing the cases, which I believe means Simone won't join :(
I'm screwed on this game I reckon, unless I get very lucky.
If I lost one prior to Long Haired Punk, I'd still have 7 after killing Adam, which I'm presuming would also prevent the two on the bunny. (or are they before Long Haired Punk anyway?)
How about the lady on the football in Wonderland?
I'm off to check the Transmisionary guide (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7981).
...
Hmmn, wonder if I have time and the skill to get my two and the four from "Above The Law" over to Entrance Plaza for The "Woman Who Didn't Make It" ?
Do "Antique Lover" and "Mark of the Sniper" and "Woman Who Didn't Make It" all trigger at the same time? If they do I'll never kill the the snipers and the two survivors quick enough.
I think I might give up and start a fresh game.

[LeiChat]

The problem with this way is that the cult scene happens before the people hanging off the bunny spawns, and yet I have to do steps 8-12 in order..

If you go via the shortcut does that trigger the cult scene ?
How long can you leave her in the box ?

[Schloob]

In the above method for no.2, can anyone clarify the part of let the "guy" open the shortcut then kill him. Are we talking about Brad and the gate between the entrance plaza and paradise or something completely different?
Thanks

[LeiChat]

Thanks
Yes. I'm sure that's the guy he's referring to.

[LeiChat]

Ok. I'm not suggesting this is the best way, I expect the methods mentioned above are more reliable but here's what happened to me:

Having finished the PP collector I found myself back in Paradise Plaza just in time to see Pam (the twin outside the toy shop) being swamped by Zombies.
I didn't make it over in time, so had to settle for Heather.
I took Heather back to the toilet with the shortcut to Wonderland and told her to stay there. (right trigger, aim and press Y)
I then headed upstairs to Columbian Roastmasters to brew some Untouchables (pie and orange) and Nectars (orange x2) and then ventured out to the park, turning round I came straight back into the Plaza.
This triggered the first Cultists cut scene, but first I needed to round up Heather who was no longer following my instructions.
After taking her back to the toilets again I came back to release Jennifer from the crate surrounded by yellow cultists.
I took Jennifer back to the toilets and saved.
At this point I was running low on Mega Buster ammo so decided to take them both back up to the roof, leaving them there while I dashed back to the security room.
I held Jennifer's hand and weaved around press Y to get Heather to follow.

When I got back to the toilets again for another save moments later I had the call from Otis for the "Above The Law" scoop, so took the shortcut to Wonderland Plaza.
Based upon the info in this thread I thought it best to take the two girls along with me rather than telling them to stay put in the toilets.

After the cut scene with Jo the cop, I didn't manage to tell Heather and Jennifer to stay in a corner and Jo killed Jennifer with one pulse of her stun gun.
Jo was easily dispatched with the Mega Buster and I released Janet, Kay, Kelly and Lilly.
So I now have 5. I did think about reverting to the save here but...
as we made our way down the stairs Nick and Sally were hanging from the Bunny (south end?) so I told the 5 girls I had to stand over near the wall (did they listen!?) and took a shot at Nick, amazingly he fell but didn't die.
Round the other side I dropped a queen bee to get rid of the zombie horde and threw a "hunk of meat" at Sally to make her fall to the ground.
Somehow despite the other girls now being attacked by zombies too I managed to get them all (well aside from poor Nick) away and back to the toilets.
Taking the shortcut back to Paradise Plaza, after a quick save Otis called through with the "Woman Who Didn't Make It" scoop so I dragged the 6 girls off towards Entrance Plaza, which as I hadn't done the Case files was still blocked by a shutter. Doh!
I let the zombies kill me so I could revert to the save file in the toilets.
I immediately took the shortcut back to Wonderland Plaza and headed off with the 6 girls, via Food Court and Al Fresca to Entrance Plaza.
Going that route, having not done the Case files, may have been better as Food Court and Entrance Plaza itself were both very empty of Zombies, only Al Fresca prooved a little tricky.
Once I'd grabbed Jolie downstairs it was a simple dash (and lots of pressing Y) to head upstairs for Rachel.

If you're not having any luck with the other methods described above, his another you can try.

[deadliest flame]

Tanxs all for the help i have the achievement now :D

[ll Nitemare ll]

lol i was confused about this achievement for awhile too. the best way to get it, is to go into the maintanance tunnels. if you run towards a zombie and press "A" right next to them, u will go ontop of their head (if u have unlocked the skill). to get zombie road, do this in a crowd of a lot of zombies, and when u move the control stick you will walk ontop of their heads.

to get the achievement all u have to do is walk back and forth ontop of their heads until it says you have unlocked the achievement.

[LeiChat]

don't recall where, but I read somewhere a hint about the Entrance Plaza right at the beginning of 72 hour mode when you'r
