Problems with an achievement guide? Let us know here.

[Marx0r]

In the same vein as every other thread in this forum, if you see a small typo or error in an achievement guide, let us know here.

- If you have a guide you want to post or a lengthy correction that won't fit in one post, please use the Submit forum. (click (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=125))
- Make sure the problem is with the mainpage guide (click (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/guides.php)), NOT the stickied thread. We will eventually fix all of the forum guides to match the mainpage ones, but that's not going to be for a while.
- For information on how to write a guide, see this thread (click (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61662))

If you give us a method, link, or whatever that we didn't know about, you will be credited in the guide.

If you submitted a guide in the Submit forum, we have it. There's a massive backload at the moment, and we may not get it up or even get to looking at it for a few weeks, especially if it's an old game. If you're truly concerned with the fate of your guide, feel free to pm me. Please note that I'm not a mod outside of the Guide Team board (which you can't see), I can't sticky your guide or anything like that.

If you made a guide in a board that isn't dead, we probably know about it and are prepared to sticky it when we feel it's ready. If it's in a board that is dead, feel free to notify us of it here, but we still won't sticky it unless we think it's ready to be.

Thanks!

EDIT: This is not where you tell us you're working on a guide or if a guide is lacking. This is for typos/inaccuracies and corrections only. Anything else, post here (click) (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61662).

I think the Super Puzzle Fighter 2 HD Remix Guide needs to be enhanced a little bit. I mean, look at the description for one of the hardest achievements in the game, Chain of Jewels..., which requires you to get a chain of 7 in X or X' mode:


In X mode for 5 to 7 chains you need those circle gems.


No tips on how to get it or anything. This is the same description for the Chain, Chain, Chain, achievement, which is a chain of 5.

I'm not sure if this is a "problem", but I do feel that this guide needs to be enhanced with more tips on how to actually get the achievements.

Mr. Driller Online - Brainy Quest Genius

The explanation in the guide (on the front page) is wrong, but the explanation in the guide (in the forum) is right. The following is the correct explanation taken from http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=65046:

In the single player game mode, select any character and you will be at the level select screen. Press up or down and the levels will switch to the "Quest" stages. During a Quest stage you will be asked to perform certain objectives, like Break X Blocks or Get to the Bottom Using Y Air Capsules. You have to perform 10 of these objectives consecutively to get credit for the achievement. This is only possible on a Quest stage of 1000m or higher. This must be done in a single round.

Clear All Missions in Son of Sparda Mode

This mode is unlocked after beating the game on Devil Hunter. Starting on Son of Sparda, the enemies begin to do much more damage to you, and become much more aggressive. In several areas, the enemy placement is much different, so as to include more difficult demons in more areas. Be careful, and don't be afraid to use an item if you have to.

The description for these achievements are off. If it would be possible to change the descriptions to See "Easier Said Than Done", it would be great. :p

Cloning Clyde issue, you don't unlock mutant clyde until you get the dupliclone dash achievement. The guide up thinks you can use the mutant powers to do the dupliclone dash achievement which is incorrect

Viva Pinata guide:
Get 2 different species of Piñatas to evolve into a new species. Evolutions include:

Candary: Have your Sparrowmint eat a buttercup flower and it will change into a Candary.
Juicy Goose: Have your Quackberry eat a Gooseberry and it will evolve into a Juicy Goose.
Lackatoad: Direct your Lickatoad to eat a Nightshade fruit and then quickly equip your shovel and tap it on the head. It will become a Lackatoad. You want to do this before it becomes poisoned.
Pigxie: You have to cross romance a Swanana and a Rashberry. You will need both of them to have hearts above their head, and have purchased and built the Mystery House.
Redhott: Select a Taffly and direct it to a torch. Once it flies through and catches fire equip your Water Can and wait for it to land. As soon as the Taffly lands pour water on it to put the fire out. The Taffly will then become a Redhott.
Salamango: Have your Newtgat eat a Chili and it will change into a Salamango.
Zumbug: Direct your Horstachio to eat both a Blackberry and a Daisy flower and it will become a Zumbug.
Twingersnap: Romance two Syrupants. Watch the egg that follows and right before it hatches, you will see it make three large bounces. On the third bounce, hit it with your shovel. A twingersnap will hatch. Don't confuse the hop-hop-hop with the normal bouncing of the egg.
Fourheads: Same as above but you have to romance two Twingersnaps.
Pigxie doesn't count as an evolution, as I have all of the listed (8/9) except for the Fourheads and I still don't have the Master Evolver achievement which requires 8 evolutions. Pigxie is just a cross-breeding pinata, not a valid evolution.


EDIT: And since this is being fixed anyway, it'd be much more helpful to throw in how to get a Chewnicorn resident for the Chewnicorn Healing achievement.

How about changing it from this:
Find a sick Piñata. Now direct Chewnicorn to the sick Piñata and the Chewnicorn will heal it.

to this:
In order to gain a Chewnicorn resident, the following must be done:
Appear Requirements
Has gotten the Horstachio Master Romancer award
Visit Requirements
Have a gem tree in the garden
Resident Requirements
Has eaten 15 gems
Have a fully grown gem tree in the garden
(courtesy of PinataIsland.info)

Once you have a Chewnicorn as a resident, find a sick Piñata. Now direct Chewnicorn to the sick Piñata and the Chewnicorn will heal it.

small typo in the marvel ultimate alliance guide, for the achievement mutant love, it takes place in act 2 not in act 3 as it says on the guide.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/197/UPgE9iQ=.jpgBarrel SSC Challenger25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpgDestroy 500 barrels in ranked SSC Challenge matchesThis takes the longest out of the 4 DLC achievements simply as you only get a few barrels a stage. The fastest way to do this is to boost it with 3 others on the Warehouse 2 level. There are about 15 barrels right at the end of it that continuous respawn after about 20 seconds. If all four of you run to the end and then take it in turns to blow up the barrels (It only takes one shot as they are so close together) then you should have this in about 15-20 minutes.

This is what is in the guide and the numbers are wrong. I counted and there are 12 barrels at the end, I know it says about but thought you would want precise number, and they respawn every 40 seconds not 20. In one round 1 person can destroy 132 barrels which would take almost 4 rounds per person at 15 minutes a round. So boosting would take 1 hour per person or 4 hours of play.

I also want to write a detailed guide on this with an even faster method but I am not completely sure if it would be worth it as this method is ok i guess.

sorry about that. didnt realize i could make one and post it. Also no prob about what was said. I still dont fulliuly know how to navigate this site. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

[AlphaXGamerXDad]

Very minor. The guide for the Starfish Bubbles achieve says there is a bonus starfish level at level 9. It's actually Stage 8: Jelly Jam.

[Otisbum]

Two things:

1. The Texas Hold'em guide says the Luck Of The Draw achievement is glitched, is it still this way? It's not on the Unachievable Achievements list and I know a few people who have it.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/texas-hold-em/guide/

2. Outpost Kaloki has the last two achievements on the list down as "(Unable to achieve)", yet we have people with 200 in the game on the leaderboards. If the guide says that because the guide writer himself hasn't yet achieved them, we need someone who does have them to write something for the guide.

[lordvader178]

Didn't know where to post this. There is an error in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 achievment guide. The same description for "Soother" is used for "My Friend". Just thought you guys may want to know.

EDIT: I just realised that the UMK3 guide is full of fail. Read it. The descriptions are all mixed up. Seriously, i think you guys are just slacking off :P.

[Barrthnine]

To add to what was just said above, something went wrong with the UMK3 guide I submitted.
- The description for Soother has been copied to My Friend.
- The description for My Friend is gone.
- The description for Combo Number 5 was copied into Double Time.
- The description for Double Time is under Century
- The description for Century is gone.

I also noticed two small typos with the Gears of War guide.
- The description for It's A Massacre: Do no chainsaw downed enemies or they will count as an execution kill. (Obviously, should be "not").
- The description for The Money Shot: Headshots are when the head of the enemy blows up and the rest of the body remains attack. (I think it means "intact").

There are also some typos in the Assassin's Creed Guide.
- Defender of the People: Damascus: Just save every civilian in the poor, middle and rich districts of Dasmascus. (Should be Damascus).
- In the notes at the end of the guide: When killing Robert de Sable, watch out for a glitch by the two acrhers that may cause you to fall into the floor. If youve fallen foul to this you will need to take you HDD to a mates houe and complete it there. Or it has been suggested to use a Lens cleaning Device.

There are also some typos in the Marathon: Durandal Guide
- Seven: this must be done in the campaign. (Should be capitalized).

[BringTheRain112]

In the NFS: ProStreet Guide there it states there are no tips for the "Clutch" acheivement. My tip would be to make sure you release the gas before you hit the clutch button (RB by default) otherwise you will overshoot the shift.

Also there is an error for the "Drift Master," "Drag Master," "Grip Master," and "Speed Master" acheivements. You must beat enough track recods for that event to unlock these. You can actually win/dominate every Race Day but not unlock these (however very unlikely). You must beat 10 track records within the Race Days.

Just for an example, to unlock the Speed Master acheivement, you must unlock Nitrocide Org. This is done by beating 10 track recods in the Speed Category (Speed Challenges and Top Speed Runs).

[SengIV]

The Viking Guide is stretched where it is unreadable. I guess the pictures need to be moved.

[DevorianDevil]

the "a source of unspeakable power" achievement in the lego indiana jones guide has the wrong info on it, its "how dare you kiss me" that was put by mistake.

[Squab2]

The achievement "Hot Potato" needs to be reworded.

(Original) -Pick up and return 5 live grenades.
This must be done during one level, not over the course of the game. There is a balcony in the top floor of a house where you end up on the first level of the game, and you are charged with holding the position with your comrades. Stand at the balcony and enemy grenades will be thrown at you. Simply throw them away and you will recieve this achievement.

(New) -Pick up and return 5 live grenades.
This achievement must be done during one level in the game, not over the course of the game. The easiest way to achieve this is to start up a level and throw a grenade at a wall and pick it back up and throw it away. Simply do this 5 times and you will get this achievement.

Guide: GTA: IV

Achievement: One hundred and eighty.

Battlefiled:Bad Company guide has an error. It says that Welcome to Bad Company is the first mission of the game even though it is that's not my point. It also says that Ghost Town is the first mission even though its the last one.

[Mtld]

In my totemball guide in the forums, the first part of the post that explains how to use the flash hand simulator should be added to the guide on the site. Also, some great additions were made by Blackjaw x and should be added as well.

On another game, Sonic 2, the guide states that its easier to do the Bonus stage to get the 10 VS XBOX LIVE Wins achievement. However, here is another suggestion :

Choose the first level, and let your friend hit monsters and/or traps until he gets a game over. This grants you a win. Repeat 10 times to get the achievement. Don't forget to return the favor :)

[Blue Radium]

For the Crackdown Tag Teamer achievement, I noticed that the guide didn't tell you how to do the achievement if you don't have a friend to boost with. I figured that this would be a good thing to have in the guide, as I had to do this to get the achievement for myself, and it isn't in the guide.

Here is my suggestion on what should be added:

If you don't have a friend to do the achievement all of the way through with you, it is still possible to get the achievement with random players. To begin, refresh all gang members, and start a new game. Look for balls of concentrated frustration, confiscate some cars, something to occupy yourself. Then when someone wants to play with you, allow them to join. Remember, you want to be the host within the same play through at all times. Try to get them to help you out. If they don't want to go after bosses, Squeeze a few boss kills out asap until they leave. Immediately stop killing bosses and wait for someone else to join in the same game. Repeat until you have killed every boss with someone else in your game. As long as every boss is killed while you are playing with a guest, you will get the achievement. It does not have to be the same person for all of the bosses, and the 2nd person does not have to assist you in any way besides being in the game with you.

The Bionic Commando Rearmed (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/bionic-commando-rearmed/achievements/) page lists achievements from 2 games.

[Nautius Maximus]

In the guide for Hardwood Backgammon, it indicates that a "Backgammon Baby" achievement is almost impossible because it means winning the game with an opponents pip still on the bar. That would be virtually impossible and is not what backgammon means, at least with respect to this virtual version. It means winning the game when some of the opponents pips are not inside the final quarter mark. Much easier to accomplish. :woop:

[fuzzy510]

In the achievement guide for Grand Theft Auto IV, the video provided for the achievement "King of QUB3D" has been removed from YouTube. This is the new video from the same person who uploaded the previous guide.

The achievement guide for Assassin's Creed has a forum link for the Conversationalist Achievement that goes nowhere. There is a sticky discussion in the forum, but the link in the guide is broken. I will also post this in the broken link thread to cover my bases - don't shoot me for double posting!

[splock]

the achievement "i promise to kill you last" the guide says to get a good friend both get ak-47's or pkm's but you can do this much easier by yourself if you use the mgl mk-x its much stronger and as said you dont need a friend to help you.
so instead write

Once the cutscene stops put your ally on agressive hold then shoot your bullets mgl at dalton and after practise youll time it good then he will be knocked down in about 10 seconds then take a few steps to the left, pull out your m107 light fifty and put 2 bullets in his head and he should die easier. though if you wanted to do it with a friend then you could knock him down in about 6 seconds and get 1 ehadshot each to kill him.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/439/UP5jawY=.jpgOne In a Million 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

I think this should be added to this guide "If you are going for the achievement on the Ghost Town level, you must destroy the Anti-Air Gun before hitting the legionnaire and to destroy it all you have to do is walk up to it. After it is blown up hit the legionnaire with the laser designator and the the achievement should unlock."

This would cut down on the number of the threads in the Battlefield: Bad Company forum. I've already seen two threads that deal with this achievement just today.

History Channel: Battle For The Pacific

Five Star General100 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpgBeat the game on the Hard difficulty setting.This achievement is slightly bugged and requires you to play the entire campaign in one sitting. You can not turn off your console and/or reload your game because of the bug it has, So because of this, make sure you play the entire campaign on Hard in one sitting to unlock this achievement. The game is very short and should only take between two and three hours to finish, even on Hard, so it is not that difficult.

This problem has been fixed with an update.
I had to quit playing the game because the game disk was dirty.
I took it to get it cleaned and then finished playing the game and i still got the achievement.

**You can check how many sodas you have drunk:**

There are two different ones for soda. The one listed in the guide is for how many have been drunk.

The following achievements on Pure can be done in a private player match online.

They are much easier to get and less frustrating.

Fresh Air - Create a freestyle private player match with a friend. Do approximately four fresh tricks (less if you want) and let your fuel meter drop until the race is over. Your friend can then do the same if he or she wants


No Pain No gain - Create a private player sprint match with a friend and crash ten times while your buddy hangs back. Then go on to win the event. Your friend can then do the same if he or she wants.

[fuzzy510]

For the NHL 07 achievement guide, the achievement "Earn 100 pts in a season" says that a record of 40 wins, 10 overtime losses, and 32 regulation losses. This is incorrect, as wins net 2 points, but an overtime loss nets 1 point. A better example would be 45 wins, 10 overtime losses, and 27 regulation losses.

[Evil Demon55]

The arcade game "Texas Hold 'em" has an incorrect achievement description. The achievement is called "Luck of the Draw". The description says it is glitched, but as you can see I have and many other people have it now. Here is a way to get it:

To get this achievement, you will have to have a rubberband and a controller that can be plugged into your xbox. Go to single player and make the buy in amount free, and play the game. Once the game is started, put a rubberband over your "A" button and just walk away. It will take multiple days to get a Royal Flush (10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace of the same suit) but this is the fastest way to get it. It takes about 10 hours for 1,000 hands and the average person gets this achievement after 50,000 hands. Just follow these simple steps and you will get this achievement over time.


That is a walkthrough for the "Luck of the Draw" achievement. I do not know how to get the button pictures up so sorry about that. I would appreciate if this was updated because it bugged me out when I read that while going for this achievement.
