    Sever 100 limbs.

      
  • How to unlock Tis but a flesh wound!

    Your best chance to sever a limb comes from edged weapons, or modified weapons with saw blades attached, such as the sickle from an early quest reward or the Ripper pre-order incentive from Gamestop. Aim for the shoulders in a downward strike for arms or a horizontal strike just above the knees for legs.

  • let's call it a draw then
  • lol I love achievement names like this.
  • could be dead space inspired. who knows. title definitely isn't though
  • This is from Mighty Python and the Holy Grail, not dead space heres the clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKhEw7nD9C4
  • @3, dead space reference ? -_- Comeon, watch some classic tv once in awhile
  • Dismembering existed long before Dead Space came around. =/
  • Apart from the epic fail from IGun BunnyI, there's a little misquote here. First he says "tis but a scratch", then it comes "just a flesh wound". So the exact achievement quote ain't in the movie. Maybe copyright stuff? But that's the ultra awesome inspiration, no doubt.
  • yes, this is a Monty Python reference, from the black knight, as long as the zombies don't try to chew on my ankles when I am done it should be alright
  • None Shall Pass!!!!!
  • if none of u get this as ur first achievement i bloody laugh my head off hehe
  • this has got to be the funniest sounding achievement I have ever heard
  • What does sever means ? Is that like cutting of limbs ?
  • @12 Yes, sever means to dismember a limb. I would imagine this acheivement should come rather quick, that is if you can dismember multiple limbs off the same dead zombie.
  • Come back ya pansy!
  • This will be easy, as I got the "Sever 2,500 Limbs" achievement in Dead Space 2 quite easily...
  • Haha Monty Python.
  • You're a looney.
  • you've got no arms you silly b******.
  • lol i dont even like that movie and i know its not from dead space
  • this is for gay bunny it not a fucking copy of dead space :3
  • I know I'll be shouting " I have no quarrel with you Sir Zombie " when I play the game.
  • Another Pythonesque achievemen Like the one from Borderlands "There are some who call me...Tim". I love it!!!
  • Not as crazy as severing 2,500 limbs in Dead Space but worth the g's
  • Best. Vacation. Ever!
  • can't wait
  • This game is gonna be awesome
  • I'm glad I got the ripper from gamestop. If anyone wants one I have to share with you on live during my game. If anyone else has a ripper, sharing is caring lol
  • I'll bite your legs off!
  • Zombie! DIE! (Swings Ripper)
  • Little info: It only counts when the zombie is "alive" and you cut of a rm or something else. If he is "dead" and you cut off all limbs DOES NOT COUNT!
  • This is very easy to do with a larger blade like a sickle, cleaver, or machete. If you fully upgrade them you can slice off heads and arms in one go. Very fun haha.
  • Kids don't try this at home :)
  • I found dismembering zombies not too difficult with the right weapons, a cleaver or machete is the best way to go IMO
  • This game is great and this achievement is sinch and if u dont get this as ur first achievement u are a noob no offence but i will be laughing my head off :-)
  • There should also be a reference achievement to Shaun of the Dead called, "Ahh, he's got an arm off" cut off 100 zombie arms lol
  • HAHA love this acheivement name
  • Wow, so many faggots arguing over the reference instead of the achievement itself. Anyway, just to specify: severing only counts if the target is still alive (err, unalive?) before death. You can sever up to two arms before the zombie dies, as well as the head/one leg, so aiming for the arms with a sharp weapon will speed up the progress twofold instead of decapitation. Machete or a cleaver would be god tier for this.
  • what is the ripper?
  • I got this with machette, kindly donated by someone who didn't use it to defend themselves :).
  • Good times!
  • every thread has an argument about the title lol
  • Hello!
  • Monty Python much?
  • Got this today - very enjoyable achievement. I used a Machete for the most part and just looked out for when the cross-hair turned red while hover over the zombie's arms and legs.
  • For whatever reason, I've found that most types of scythes seem to have a higher chance of severing limbs.
  • I still find it funny that you cannot sever there legs.
  • Step 1: get A sharp Weapon Step 2: handicap 50 zombies
