Introduction

 

The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is a fantastic arcade game; you can really tell this game has had a heap of love poured into it. You'll find this little gem is also full of lots of gaming culture references. This coupled with great gameplay, unique storyline which carries on from the first game and multitude of game modes and difficulty makes for one of the best arcade releases in years. This is a must buy if you consider yourself a gamer.

Playthrough 1

 

Play on the lowest difficulty setting to begin with as Samurai is locked until you beat the game at least once. Take note that although Co-op is possible at this point, some beads and most notably the Bleep bloop! achievement are not possible to attain in Co-op. You will have the choice two characters after you beat the prologue. It is advised you pick The Dishwasher as it will allow you unlock Bleep bloop! achievement and will save you a boss fight on the Samurai Difficulty.

 

Pay attention to the I Did Not Use A FAQ achievement, it requires you to find collectibles. I have included a text guide to the location of all 30 Ghost Beads. It will help to get the collectibles on the first playthrough as they carry over to Samurai and effect various attributes of your character.

 

You'll need to pay attention to the Bleep bloop! achievement as well. A very unique set of tasks are involved. The majority of the other achievements will come through natural progression

 

Playthrough 2

 

You should have unlocked the Samurai difficulty by now and should have all of the Ghost Beads. This playthrough is all about the Samurai difficulty. Enemies will have more health and do more damage but if you have a handle on the mechanics of the game you shouldn't find this too hard. This cannot be done in Co-op.

 

Playthrough 3

 

This will be the playthrough for the arcade mode. Arcade isn’t that challenging but will take some time. There are 50 levels in Arcade. Remember to keep trying new strategies. You can do this in Co-op.

This step will also be clean up time if there any achievements you may have missed.

 

Conclusion

 

Although at first this game can be quite challenging once you get to know the characters move set and the mechanics involved, coupled with this guide it is very possible unlock the full 200 gamerscore in under 10 hours gameplay.

Beat the game on Samurai difficulty as The Dishwasher or Yuki.

 

To unlock Samurai Difficulty you need to beat the game on any other difficulty at least once. You will then need to beat the game as either The Dishwasher or Yuki on Samurai difficulty. There are 13 levels to go through, and there are a lot of bosses in the last 5. This is not as difficult as the first game, but still do not underestimate it.

 

It is currently NOT possible to play the game on Samurai or Pretty Princess on Co-op, local or online.

 

Here are some tips for playing on Samurai;

  • Choosing who you play as is important. On one hand Yuki's combos are more built for taking out bosses quickly and on another The Dishwasher is built for dealing with the masses. That doesn't mean that can't do both how ever.

  • Remember that upgrades purchased on a lower difficulty do stay when you start Samurai so it is advisable to upgrade your characters weapon/skull/health.
  • Warping is a THE best way of dodging, the only time you should stop warping is to walk through doorways.
  • It is recommended you have all the beads before starting, this will make a huge difference. Having the beads set up to maximize your health regeneration is the preferred set up. There are three beads which boost this; The Flower Bead(Slow health regeneration whilst in combat), The Heart Bead(Enemies drop more hearts) and The Bat Bead(With every hit you steal health from enemies). The fourth slot is up to you but The Eye Bead(Less chance the enemy will block against your attack) goes nicely with this set up.

  • If you've stunned or weakened an enemy to near death and the finishing move pops up, take advantage of it.

Beat all Arcade levels.

The Arcade levels are an assortment of challenge levels. You are given a preset load out of weapons and magic. There are 50 levels comprised of;

  • Bosses
  • Time limits
  • Air-combo only
  • Vampire levels (Slow health drain, kill for health.)
  • Slo-mo (More combo = More Slow-mo)
  • Instakill (Enemies take large amounts of damage, but so do you. Guns work best.)
  • Hot Potato (Hold the same weapon for too long and you are forced to swap.)
  • And a few levels with special requirements.

You play as either Yuki or The Dishwasher, it varies level to level. There isn't one singular method to beating all 50 levels, it is recommended that you experiment with each level. The last 4 levels are probably going to give you the most trouble, keep at it there is a lot of luck involved some times. Co-op IS possible.

Get all achievables. Open presents, jump jump, squirtgun fight, kill squid, watch credits.

 

To unlock this achievement you first of all need to obtain the Achievable Bead. The bead is found on the level ‘Aqua Marina’. In the first room you run into enemies in, grab an enemy by pressing the :bbut: button and then knock him higher by pressing :xbut: and Down. A cat will suddenly pop onto the screen, as fast as possible hit the :start: button and you’ll be transported to a room with 3 bosses. Defeat the bosses and a present with the bead inside will appear. Equip the bead to start earning achievables. You will need to be playing as The Dishwasher to unlock this achievement.

 

The achievables are as follows;

  • Open any one present.
  • Double Jump by pressing :abut:,:abut:.
  • Spray any enemy with The Dishwasher's Dekkentozter by pressing the :ybut: button.
  • Defeat the squid boss on the level ‘Aqua Marina’.
  • Watch the credits at the end of game, these will roll after you beat the final boss for good.

Included is a video detailing exactly what to do;

This is identical to ‘In The End I Am Free’ except you need to beat the game as the other playable character; The Dishwasher. After the prologue ‘Iffenhaus Space Prison’ you’ll be asked who you’d like to continue the game as. To unlock the achievement choose The Dishwasher.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1368/+al-6A==.jpg Game Reviewers Shall Be Pleased - 5 :gsicon:

Unlock Pretty Princess Difficulty.

This difficulty is unlocked when you die on the same spot four times in a row. Simply put the game on Samurai difficulty and stand still in an area full of enemies, wait until you are dead. Rinse and repeat. Pretty Princess is incredibly easy, enemies die in a few hits and you’ll take barely any damage.

Violently separate 100 enemies.

A violent separation is when you perform a finishing move on an enemy. Depending what weapon you have equipped the :xbut:, :ybut: or :bbut: button will pop up on the screen when an enemy is near death or stunned. Kill an enemy this way 100 times to unlock the achievement.

Spray three expensive paintings with their owners' blood.

This is unlocked when you spray blood on the painting's in each of the three targets offices. To guarantee that the blood is sprayed on the painting perform a finishing move on the target in front of the painting. If you're playing as The Dishwasher you only need to do this on the last target. The levels the targets are on are;

  • Ömödö Execution
  • Grim Tower
  • Justice Summit

Collect all Ghost Beads.

Win 3 chainsaw duels.

This very easy but can still be missed. To unlock this you need to be playing as Yuki. The enemy which has a pumpkin on its head and a chainsaw for an arm is the only enemy you can do this on. Stun him or beat him to near death and the finisher moves will pop up. Press the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png button and you’ll go into a button mash sequence, win the duel and repeat twice more.

Great job on the guide!

 

I've seen some confusion by people around the web for some of them and it may be worth nothing that you cannot unlock They Totally Chopped My Arm Off and The Disease is Dead by playing co-op (at least online co-op). I also was unable to trigger the event to get a friend the Achievables Bead in online co-op after a few tries, but all other achievements and beads except for the Bell Bead are obtainable in online co-op (and I assume local).

Any suggestion on which character to use for the Samurai difficulty? Dishwasher dishes out tons more damage (pun intended) but Yuki is exceptionally faster, and always has the arial dodge. I'm going to max both out before attempting because I'm a paranoid coward, I was just curious as to who people used.

(It'll probably be Yuki for me with the Painkiller, honestly, but we'll have to see).

Thanks yet again, you've been a massive help. I'll be sure to implement these into the guide later tonight when I update it.

Well I'm currently using Yuki but I'd rather be using The Dishwasher. So far I've had no trouble what-so-ever. I have died a bit but that's to be expected. They can both dodge exceptionally well and the thing that tips the scales for me is The Dishwashers cleavers, that combo is just fantastic.

Great guide so far, keep it up!

 

I should have already asked you (sorry!), but do you mind if I repost the bead section of your guide to another site? I did put it up in the forums to help others out finding the beads, and prefaced it by saying I wasn't the creator of the list... I mentioned you, this site, and Laorik and Todd Schlickbernd as your sources. I posted it before thinking to ask your permission, and I will gladly delete it if you want... I figured as long as I credited you, it wasn't a problem.

I would suggest Yuki because conviction's chainsaw combos are killer, especially her XY combo against most bosses. That being said the Dishwasher's shift blade XXXY combo is quite powerful and I have seen some impressive boss killing with the violence hammer. All in all i think it is largely a play style choice, I personally like the faster Yuki over the slower more powerful Dishwasher.

It's no problem as long as you credit the right people. This list took hours to construct into a coherent and logical manner. And I'm still not happy with a few of the descriptions, I'd only consider the guide about 60% done. Major overhaul coming once I get some sleep.

I am having trouble getting the Bone Bead. It is my last one and I got 100%on the amp that is mentioned in this guide, but no present appears. I dont know what else to do. Anybody else having this problem?

 

I'd suggest trying a different difficulty and using the other character. If not you might need to start a new save.:mad:
