  • How to unlock Zoo Keeper

    Wardens show up for a number of reasons. One being that you completed a hotspot. Once you complete one, you have a chance of a warden showing up. They also show up if you get you notoriety to the 6th bar; as soon as it reaches this point a single warden will show up. Also doing flashpoints can possibly spawn a warden. They also show up as a part of the story to give you new powers, but those are limited and not enough to get what you need for this achievement or the corresponding challenge for killing 30 of them. So you will need to grind this out by increasing you notoriety to max several times. Something important to note is that if you kill a warden while in some else's game it will NOT count towards your achievement or your challenge; it should be noted that in some cases warden kills do count in another players game as long as you're the one to finish it off. Personally I had to do all my kills in my own game.

    To fight/finish off a warden use your blast or stomp abilities to break his shield and then unload on him with your gun of choice. What I found most effective was the fully upgraded damage on the heavy smgs and then on top of that purchasing the acidic bullets upgrade as well. You should only need to knock his shield off twice if that with this setup. Once his health is drained you will be prompted to press to enter his body to absorb him. This will start a short quick time event. If you can't handle the quick time because its going too fast; let him win. This will kick you out and you will have to down his shields again; but he will go down super easy when you re-enter his body.

  • As a Hint to those that beat the game before completing, you can go to the military island and get wardens to pop out really fast their.
  • The wardens are very annoying..lol
  • Do the numbers carry over if you start another game? For this and other numerical achievements?
  • I have killed probably 40 wardens already. But no achievement. Then I noticed something. I would kill a warden (alone or in coop) and it would not count when I looked at my stats. It appears that you must kill the warden the first time you are prompted to hit the RT. If you fail and have to try a second time, it does not appear to count as a warden kill. Has anyone else noticed this yet?
  • OK. So I did some more testing. And my previous "theory" was incorrect (it was only a theory after all). I killed the next warden on the first try and it didn't count for some reason. I have 3 followers with me, so I dismissed them, moved to another area, caused chaos and then killed another warden on the 2nd attempt. It counted this time. So it appears that the followers can somehow cause the kill not to be counted. And I had the same issue playing coop. If you are having problems here, try the following: 1. Dismiss all followers (don't worry about random chance Saints that are in the area, just don't recruit them) 2. Move to a new area (not proven effective, but what the heck) 3. Don't grind this Achievement in coop. Let me know if this helped.
  • There's an island that's restricted territory, which makes notoriety rise faster. The Inflato Ray for some reason increases your notoriety like crazy as well, just get some kills with that, Warden spawns. Use your fire buff with whatever weapon you upgraded, kill it, repeat.

  • This Achievement was easy for me, I just used the Black Hole gun (Upgraded to the max)to suck up vehicles, pedestrians, ETC. By doing that it proceeded to build my notoriety faster and in no time a Warden pops up. Just repeat repeat
  • i used black hole gun to get my notoriety up. i used the freeze ray/bounce gun on those rolling enemies and on the warden i used freeze buff and the machine gun(maxed out) to kill him quick. took less than 5 mins per warden.
  • The best (and most fun) way to raise notoriety is to go crazy with the Dubstep Gun in a busy part of the city. To kill the warden, use your Fire Buff power and a shotgun. 2-3 hit kill with a fully upgraded gun.
