Iron Bladder

[RPDfire]

I think i might have found a way to defeat the system. U know if ur playing local Rock Band 1 and u bring up the dash it kinda freezes the game (but does not bring up a pause menu. U could probably do that and if u need 2 take a break so if ur going for iron bladder u could do it that way. But well have 2 wait and see. I would like to test this wen the game comes out and i will give you guys the results.

EDIT: Now thats over with we can post our Endless Setlist and Steel Bladder story's here

I can say with 99.9% certainty that you will be wasting your time. When your controller comes unplugged, you get a message from RB saying to reconnect the controller. Pause has been called it just doesn't show the menu. Same thing with the pressing the Guide button. That menu that displays is a separate function from pausing. Harmonix did not get where they are by being stupid.

[Taker447]

If only that did work. But it does pause the game. There is no "cheating" for this cheev. it really is going to take an iron bladder. :p

or just keep a bucket handy. :eek:

seriously though...isn't it harmful to go too long without peeing?

When I used to go to high school I pissed before I went to school and went a half hour after I came home, so that's around... 8 hours? It can be done. ;)

yep it can be done. all depends on how much you drink. so pee before you play and don't drink or just drink a little. issue solved.

[APX]

Oh man, I drank GALLONS of water/gaterade/milk during school, so I know I can pass this, IF I had some hand/feet cordination on the drums. lol

[Lucent Beam]

I've just got to find someone to swap out with me.
This achievement so far doesn't say "on Expert", right? Which means it might be easier than it seems...

[brak4222]

I'm just gonna do this single player and switch on and off with my wife...

[Lucent Beam]

Previously, you couldn't do BWT single player, so I don't know if it'll let you do the Endless Setlist in single player this time... unless you mean "play guitar/bass and vocals alone at the same time".

[APX]

Well it doesn't say Expert, but any RB expert should know that it will most likely be on expert. Even if it was on any other difficulty it would still be the same length.

[RINGO]

I've just got to find someone to swap out with me.

Thats what I was thinking all along.... and hoping...

if this turns out to be on expert, I will hurt something!!!..... why... because of the other little part of the achievement that requires no failing at all.

I totally agree with the switching thing....however, this means that your going to have to do it twice for that one person who is the extra guy because that would mean he/she isn't logged in.

not that that would stop you...considering you've done the original endless setlist four or five times already.

[good ol boy366]

well, it'll probably have achievements for doing it on medium, hard, and expert like it was in rb.

[Blue Radium]

Well you had might as well go for the inevitable "do the endless setlist on expert" achievement while doing this one right? I have a feeling that the songs in this one are going to be a lot harder, having more than one song (GGaHT in 1) to make you break a small sweat.

[Lucent Beam]

Well it doesn't say Expert, but any RB expert should know that it will most likely be on expert. Even if it was on any other difficulty it would still be the same length.

You say that as if I didn't get a 1000/1000 in it.

And there may not be room for Medium, Hard, Expert endless setlist achievements.. looked like only a limited number of secret achievements. And if this is one of them and doesn't explicitly mention Expert, then I'd assume it's not expert given all other RB achievements explicitly mention difficulty in their wording.

We'll see in a week!

I'm really hoping its not on expert...

Bronze Bladder, Iron Bladder, Steel Bladder?

[good ol boy366]

Bronze Bladder, Iron Bladder, Steel Bladder?

LOL! i love it! that'd be perfect! :)

Nice one Lucent...hehe

I also think its not required to play on expert because of the reasons you stated.... and plus....it would just be lame!!!

I still think its dumb because of things like accidentally hitting the wrong button using Overdrive or having batteries run out or the cable accidentally unplugged....which would pause the game and ruin your achievement....STUPID.

[Skull Kid]

Why does this achievement exist in the first place????? What were they thinking?

Really though, I guess it wouldn't be that bad, but the fact that they made it a secret achievement and only worth 25 points. You don't really get to show it off. I would feel ripped off if I went through all of that.

Doing endless setlist on expert was one thing, but I guess they just had to up the ante.

[Ed Boon]

I'm just gonna do this single player and switch on and off with my wife...

I'll do the same thing but with my imaginary wife

Make sure u have new batteries, dont hit select for overdrive, and dont press the guide button when a friend sends u a message

[gonzo 303]

hey this may be retarded but why cant you hit the overdrive button? what would that do to the achievement?

[TwistedFate]

hey this may be retarded but why cant you hit the overdrive button? what would that do to the achievement?

Who said you can't hit the OD button? You just have to be careful that you don't hit the wrong one.

[HybridPK]

I liek this achievement. It'll be a challenge (and fun) to unlock. I just hope the peopel I play with don't get stupid about it.

Now, my only question is: if you're playing with a group of people and one person fails but gets brought back through Overdrive....does that count as a failure? Or does it only count the whole band failing from a song?

[XVx KILL SWITCH]

What if you hit the guide button with your drum sticks on drums? I've done that before, what if you hit the start button on your guitar on accident, what if you aren't thinking and hit the guide button when you get a message? What if you drop your wireless guitar or hit it too hard and the batteries go out, what if the cord comes unplugged from any of the insruments? and it's 84 songS?!? I'm not gonna consider trying this

[HybridPK]

Yeah, so to avoid using the guide button, I'd suggest not playing the drums. Or modify your drumset so that the guide and start button are blocked off from the drums sticks. As for message pop-ups: just block notifications. You won't see any friends pop online, message pop-ups, or chat and game invites. I'd also suggest never using a wireless instrument.
But that's just me.

[surge1]

look at the secret achievements, there's multiple ones for the endless setlist

if you really don't want to accidentally hit the guide button, you can tape a plastic bottle cap over it

[Skull Kid]

But then you'll have to hope no one walks in front of you and accidently unplugs the instrument.

[HybridPK]

But then you'll have to hope no one walks in front of you and accidently unplugs the instrument.

That's why no one will be walking in front of me for any reason what-so-ever.

This achievement is serious business.

[Skull Kid]

I'm still gonna try this, but I might have to check into an insane institute afterward, because anyone that's willing to do this is insane. D:

[artvandel4y]

This endless setlist is what, 30 songs longer than the last? This could take 6 or 7 hours. I'm more concerned about carpal tunnel syndrome than pissing myself. Pee comes out in the wash, carpal tunnel doesn't.

[XZYOE]

But then you'll have to hope no one walks in front of you and accidently unplugs the instrument.

Or on purpose.

I, personally hate this achivement. I doubt I'll ever get it, since it'll take a few times if I fail some expert songs.

Plus, Unlike RB1's 58 songlist, RB2 has 80 songs.

Bucket it, or adult diapers.

[Chilidog Chaos]

Or have a litter box near you in between songs...

[Lucent Beam]

Me and my boyfriend are going to use Easy Vocals / Hard Bass as a last result. That way sometimes we can be each doing one, and then when we need breaks, we can let one person dual wield while the other rests. I don't know anyone else that would feel like doing this with us so it's probably the only option unless pressing the guide between songs when the game doesn't let you pause doesn't kill the achievement.

[TwistedFate]

Unless you are trying to get all 4 Endless achieves at one time there is no need to do it on Expert. Get the X Endless achieve pausing all you want. Then do it again on Easy for this one. Easy may bore you to tears, but it will give some cushion without failing if you need to make a dash.

You can always attempt it on Expert and if you fail then just complete it for the Expert Achieve.

The easiest way to do it is to play Vox. Most songs have empty sections where you don't sing so that gives you dash time as well. Plus Vox usually ends before the other instruments and begins after the others, so you have extra time between songs.

[drdreminem]

I hope it is on expert so of y'all will keep complaining:woop:
Lol jk I wouldn't care either way.

[RPDfire]

6.5 hours it takes did it with at my friends house.

Im pretty sure if you are capable of doing it on expert that hard would suffice.

[TwistedFate]

Im pretty sure if you are capable of doing it on expert that hard would suffice.

Yes but if you have to make a dash you can miss more phrases under easy and still be okay than you can under hard. Why do this at the absolute limit of your capability if you don't have too? Cushion room is not a bad thing. I'd rather play easier than I need to and guarantee that I get it first try then push my luck and have something happen causing me to do it again.

If you have to be somewhere that take 30 minutes to drive to in optimal conditions, do you leave exactly 30 minutes before you have to be there? No, you leave a few minutes early in case traffic is heavy or something happens. Same thing here. 6.5 hours is a long time, and anything can happen. Why not assume something will happen and plan to have some cushion.

With everybody going out of their way to get most of these achievements with the least effort possible. Why do people insist on doing what is perhaps the hardest achievement in the game due to time constraints at the absolutely hardest difficulty they can?

So you arent REALLY REALLY bored for 6-7 hours? Seems like a good reason to me, have some fun while doing this. Also, how is not pissing for 6-7 hours such a huge deal?

Because while i may play rock band religiously setting apart 7 hours to work on an achievement is a lot of time. Im going to do the endless setlist solo on expert vocals do it one time and then i never wanna hear about it again lol. i mean 7 hours thats practically a full day at work

[OldWIKI TIK]

I know all too well now, after about 3 hours in today, I dropped my controller. When I reached to grab it I hit the guide button by accident while loading the score screen. Thought that since it did not actually PAUSE the game maybe I was ok. No, after 3 hours and 20 minutes more no iron bladder and now I will probably never get it either. That is way to long to sit and play with no breaks. My throat hurts too.

[IMAMEX]

I see a lot of good tragic stories coming out of this achievement. I'm going to go buy some adult diapers now...

If your voice can still be that good after 6 hours of constant singing, more power to ya. Mine can't, so I'm planning on doing it twice. That way I won't throw the controller when I fail song 83.

[D RaK Fereal]

I can't imagine doin it twice, so I tried my luck and did expert bass and it took me about 6 1/2 hours. It wasn't so bad. Just runnin around the house gettin drinks, food, and cups (for I had no bladder of steel), between songs was the hardest part. And Visions, I almost failed that one. But that was the hardest song and its way easier than guitar, and vocals in my opinion, cause I wouldve never made it past Guns n Roses.

[xYx VeNoM xYx]

To hell with the Bladder, I can pee myself, or out of a window for all curious neighbors to see... but my wrists and fingers would be the sufferees in this achievement. In my band I play guitar... So 7 hrs of nonstop button pushing... I guess honestly I'm going to have to use my wrist guard from bowling and maybe some of those rubber blue things ppl use to keep a burn on there finger cool...

But that was the hardest song and its way easier than guitar, and vocals in my opinion, cause I wouldve never made it past Guns n Roses.
really i found panic attack easy i had a hell of a time with visions though and i dont no why cause i could usaully pass it but i think my arm was just to tired and now the next day it fells like i got punched liked twenty times in the shoulder

simple answer.

DON'T do it when its near dinner time...

Anyway i myself will be doing this twice. once Expert then second time i'll go for iron bladder on medium.

My bad, I got the 2 confused. Maybe I was a lil delirious after finishing. I definitely meant Visions I almost failed, Panic wasn't near as hard you're right.

[androsmere]

Wear a camelbak full of water to keep hydrated, and stand in a giant bucket while you are playing.

[Taintsaw]

Just go to the bathroom during parts where you NO you have no chance of playing like AC/DC let there be rock

[D RaK Fereal]

Lol I dont think the part is THAT long, less your bathroom is right next to your playin room

[littlejay]

psst: don't drink lots of tea. i make you go tinkle way more.
and stay away from chili. maybe eat lots of cheese to stop you up ;)

[Dr. twinkletits]

just get a friend to play for you when you need to do something... have someone take over or something. Anyway i heard you can do this on the easiest difficulty. If thats true im gonna try it on mic and then taping it to my speakers. Even thought its not perfect everytime for me it still gets a decent amount to not fail. I'll just do it on the easiest, leave my t.v on and see how it goes.

[Matrarch]

I enlisted my brother to help me whenever I decide to give it a try if need be. He probably knows about 5 or 6 of the songs on vocal well enough to feel comfortable singing on expert so I can use those opportunities to take a quick break.

Thankfully on vox, there are some songs that have long tambourine sections at the end (lazy eye, for example... I think), so the breaks are kinda built in. Well, at least long enough breaks for you to get a good bit of water into you. :)

[wazz1]

Just go to the bathroom during parts where you NO you have no chance of playing like AC/DC let there be rock

each interlude in LTBR is about 40 seconds, so it would have to be a quick trip

[branDONEson]

im just going to wake up like at 6 in the morning one day and get it done. lol.

[JMills109]

I'm going for this as well as the rest of the endless setlist stuff starting in a little while. Passing everything on XGtr won't be a problem at all unless I "forget" how to play stuff due to fatigue or whatever.

I may test between the first and second songs to see if super quick restroom trips are possible...

Edit: looks like there's "sort of" enough time

Edit: 8 songs in an unexpected event occurred and I had to stop. Oh well. I may try again later tonight.

What about getting the water out of you?! I had a mic stand and a bucket if the need did arise, but come to find out it was all for nothing as I did not get it anyway. :mad::(:mad::(

[JMills109]

Definitely going to start again. Glad having to quit/pause happened 8 songs in.


Edit: Made it through without another interruption. I got REALLY bored about a third of the way through, but managed 3 new FC's so it turned out pretty well by the end.

[SaCkaveli20]

So I just competed this!!!

I was alittle nervous when 'Visions' and 'Painkiller' came up lol

Got through them though..
Might of been the most boring 6 1/2 hours of my life lmao

[wgpfly]

so can you can you do this on hard or med or even easy or does it have to be on expert?

[RPDfire]

i believe it is medium and +

[Dr. twinkletits]

so can you can you do this on hard or med or even easy or does it have to be on expert?
Well think its any difficulty available. Just do it on medium to be safe though

[eX I m p a L e]

I beat the endless setlist 2 on expert yesterday, I could have easily gotten the iron bladder achievement but i decided not to since its a secret achievement and you cant show it off. So i paused it on the 42nd song and went to Hooters, came home and beat the rest without a problem. :woop:

[Tenacious]

Just finished Steel Bladder Award on Expert WOOHOO! Most boring and painful 6 hours 22 minutes of my LIFE, but it's DONE

Hahaha same here died on Visions but didnt pee once. Took like 100000 Tries to beat Visions but i got it

[Phil709]

Wait a minute: the achievement isn't actually called Iron Bladder? I have been lied to and demand an apology.:mad:

[RPDfire]

this thread was made before the game was out and there no official name for it then, it was just known as "the Iron Bladder achievement" so I made a thread about trying to cheat it but I'm stupid lol. And Now we pretty much share our experiences in here. So heres your sorry "IM SORRY"

[Phil709]

So what you're saying is when you gave the achievement an affectionate nickname, you were actually pretty darn close to the actual name?

[SebastianSB]

So what you're saying is when you gave the achievement an affectionate nickname, you were actually pretty darn close to the actual name?

Nah, the achievement was originally announced as the "Bladder of Steel" achievement. I'm guessing that he just didn't quite remember it correctly when he made this topic.

[Smurfquake]

The hardest part about the ESL2 will proably be finding time to fit it into a day...I'm thinking my next holiday from school. Gonna beat it on expert first then do a medium runthrough on guitar to 5-star everything I missed (probably Visions/Panic Attack/Painkiller...). And, yes, I am a completionist.

[SebastianSB]

Why the hell would i waste my time making up things

This sounds fake to me. There has already been a report of someone whose mic came unplugged and it didn't give him the achievement when he lost it.

[INSANEKID13]

Why the hell would i waste my time making up things

is not that we don't believe you but people around here like to have someone else vouch for it that way we all don't wait our time b/c it might have glitched on you or something, this is not a good place to have a bunch of people pissed at you. you know?

[RPDfire]

I will be going for this achievement next day i have off. Wish me luck

[sharonoagain]

If I ever actually try to get this one, I'll probably do easy vox... but I really don't know when I'll have time to do it twice.

Just as a heads up, you can't do it on Easy Vox ... Medium or higher only. Or at least those were my only choices.

[xDetroitMetalx]

I'm still gaining stars... I really want to try this on expert drums or else I'll get too damn bored. I need to learn Visions first tho : (

Quick question, how many stars/fans do you need to unlock the Endless Setlist? I have 600K fans and 200 some stars.

you need 900 stars

[Chilidog Chaos]

[RPDfire]

Its kinda weird that they made it 900* and not 1000*

It's not going to take you 8 hours if you want the Bladder of Steel achievement. It will only take you a little more than 6 hours.

[RPDfire]

True. I guess its good to get 900 then 1000.

Above it takes 6hrs and 11min. Just wanted u 2 know the exact time. lol

I just picked up this achievement today. I sorta freaked out that I didn't since nothing popped up at the end.

Then I realized that I turned off notifications so I wouldn't get distracted by them. -_-

Definitely excited to get the full 420/420 stars! I think I'm gonna work on trying to earn every possible star in the BWT now. :D

Ha, I had the same freakout moment when I finished mine with notifications off.

EVERY star in BWT???? That's some serious dedication.... I haven't played anything but quickplay and multiplayer since finishing ESL2....

(And I still haven't 5*ed Visions Guitar)

Well, I figure since I don't have to redo ESL2 to get all the possible stars, the rest should fall into place over time. It's a long term goal, not somethig I'm looking to do tomorrow. :)

Glad I'm not the only one who forgot their notifications were turned off! ;)

[RPDfire]

good idea (above) wen i did ensl2 i had notifications on

[Th3 Apache Dog]

I was just set as 'Busy' so the only notifications that pop up are the achievement ones;)

[Sofa KingSavage]

I'm just gonna do this single player and switch on and off with my wife...

GT=Sofa KingSavage
*****Kings of the Sofa*****
FANS=BILLION
SCORE=100M+
DLC=120
*U 99%-FC MOST OF RB2? PLS SND XBL MSG - LETS ROCK!

[BLOMBOMB]

But then you'll have to hope no one walks in front of you and accidently unplugs the instrument.
like a danged dog and or cat might do... which happens quite frequently at my residence.

I have that problem with a 2 yr old. can't wait for the GHWT wireless kit

[Pandatron]

I am very... unhappy... with this achievement right now.
last night, a friend and I decided to do ES2 on expert guitar and switch off occasionally so we could each take breaks for food, bathroom, etc. Anyways, after song 42, while waiting and not touching any buttons, the guide pops up. Definitely not sure why this happened. It just did.
42 songs later, sure enough, I only unlock 3 for 100g instead of 4 for 125g, leaving me with only 975/1000 for rb2. ugh.

[zvblade]

I finally beat es2 on hard vox i didnt get the bladder of steel achievement cause i kept having to pause it and rest my throught so 7 hours later i now have no voice and 2 achievements ^_^ tip dont go for steel bladder on vox

[Matrarch]

Congrats on beating ESL2! :D

I dunno about recommending not doing Bladder of Steel on vox though. I got through it and my voice was totally fine after it was over. It was just a matter of not really belting out the tunes, I think. Vox gives you some pretty generous breaks versus other instruments, so I'd definitely recommend people consider it if they feel comfortable singing. ;)

[Arcanon]

I got the 900 stars, now I just need to find a good 6-hour window to do this on Expert Bass. I don't wanna risk failing Visions or Panic Attack, which are the only 2 songs I can barely pass on guitar. I just need to play a couple other bass tracks and be familiar with them, then I can attempt this and be done with it. Stupid Iron Bladder achievement...

[TommyBestia]

Yeah took too long to do, and I was ubber peeved when I got beat at Shacklers Revenge and Chop suey.. and Visions and Panic attack were no sweat >< ( I did it on bass) At least i got my legendary status.

Im going to tackle ES2 again but on Vox medium =]

Unless you have a friend to help you I wouldn't recommend doing it on Vox. 6+ hours of singing makes your throat dry and if you drink something to keep singing you'll likely have to pee before you're done.

[mailmanchris]

.. and Visions and Panic attack were no sweat >< ( I did it on bass)...

Good Job man. I don't have any problems on Bass with Chop Suey and I won't 5 star Shackler's but I can pass it. But Visions is a bitch and Panic attack is instant fail for me. My bro and I do Guitar/Bass and we still have not finished Panic on Xprt. I cause the bomb out. I think we finally made it to like 90%. I need to consistently be able to beat it before we attempt ES2... ( I don't really wanna have to do the 6:00 set twice)

yeah, but when the talky songs come up, you can put your mic by the tv and run off for a slash.

[The Weasel]

I did it on expert vocals with my brother on expert drums, but we failed
At visions. We passed it but I have to do it again on vocals medium. :(

Good point.

Please tell me you didn't just say you failed Visions as a vocalist...

[SebastianSB]

he said he was playing with his bro on expert drums. so quite possible. why his bro played expert when he was on medium is beyond me though, they would have only gotten Vinyl.

He was on expert...which just confuses me more about why he apparently has to try again on medium.

[sharonoagain]

Yeah, I did it on Hard vocals for BoS just in case I tripped up on Shackler's Revenge or some song that I hadn't sung in forever. I was going to do Medium but my daughter teased me that I was making it too easy on myself. I'm just glad my downstairs bathroom is, like, 10' from the TV. :p
