  • How to unlock Jason Schmason

    One of the best ways to get a S-Rank in any Survival Arena is liberal use of Splatter Slash or Splatter Smash on large groups of enemies (+ & +), and when against an Aegis make sure to ram them (+) and then Splatter Slash them for an easy quick kill. Sometimes using Ram on a monster can be difficult, but I find that with Splatter Smash fully upgraded it does great immediate area damage as well as having a very long ranged damage attack, you can hit enemies that tend to run away without worry that they might disappear. 

    Also, against smaller enemies that back away from you, I've found that Ram is excellent, though using Ram while holding a weapon is even more effective as it's nearly guaranteed to hit and kill them. The real key though is to finish the Survival Arena as quickly as possible. Don't worry about Secret Missions, taking the time to get them will negatively impact your overall score.

  • Thanks dude.
  • u r the man only person who i have seen that has broken down the times
  • A useful tip: PAUSE YOUR GAME BETWEEN WAVES. It will save you about 3 minutes as the waves loads up.
  • Ok, it won't save you 3 mins, but it will save some time. The arenas were not a pleasant experience for me, but I got my 1000G. I repeated "Shadow of the Wickerman" 5 times. Not to mention the several times the game froze of me, and I was doing well when it froze. Good luck everyone.
  • Do you have to S rank all 6, or is it just 6 total? Also do the DLC maps count toward this?
  • You have to get S rank on all six arenas. From what I hear, the DLC arenas don't count.
  • i beat 2nd and 3rd in way below 25 mins and only got an A.....does the mask i choose matter?
  • Mask doesn't matter. Wish I'd known to pause it while loading, I'm pretty sure I just got 25:34 on survival arena 5. :(
  • 5th arena was easy for me. The only thing I have trouble with is the game freezing in the 3rd arena on the 16th wave
  • Has it been confirmed? Do you have to S-rank each map? I died on Wave 16 of Wickerman (the wave with all the blue glowing things that hack your arm off). I'd rather not have to replay these Survival maps over and over. They aren't any fun at all.
  • It's so easy
  • This sucks
  • Knowing the time limits and the pause trick makes this easier. I found grabbing (B) followed by the giant swing (X) on the waves of weaker enemies is a good way to build meter and keep your time down. Two of the worst enemies imo.... Blue guys, do a ton of damage and can take an arm off which annoyingly stops your roll working if this happens just pop bezerker mode or re-grow the limb using one of your supers (LT+X or LT+Y). The little jumpy guys who like to dodge, I used the ram (RT+Y) with a weapon for an instant kill. Save your chainsaws and shotguns for the larger enemies when your low on meter. If you used the achievement guide and have finished the game on hardest these arenas shouldnt pose much of a problem.
  • i did stage 3 in 23:24 buit got an A!?!
  • I think using the dash move is a good way to kill alot of the smaller enemies.
  • Screw it. I went back to this game tonight after close to two years and lost mission 3 on wave 19 at 25 min. Who ever decided it would be a good idea to make a ranking system based upon 25 minutes of solid gameplay, in a mode that really isn't that fun to begin with, needs to be slapped...hard. Getting 6 S-rankings is the last achievement I needed too. Too bad it isn't fun at all otherwise I'd actually go back and try it again.
  • this sucks, froze on wave 16 and i had more than 12 minutes left for the time limit, plus 1 of the pics got stuck in the air and i couldnt get it.
  • Post #1 is wrong with the times: West Mansion Lobby - 12 mins Slaughterhouse - 16 mins West Observation Room - 23 mins The Death Coaster - 25 mins Shadow of the Wickerman - 26 mins West Manor Chapel - 20 mins
  • @10 & 18 - Did you have the unlockable mask on, the Xbox exclusive? My game was freezing as well on wave 16 but was fine when I played through with the standard mask.
  • these arnt even that hard only ones im slightly having problems on is shadow and slaughterhouse did the rest with no problems at all
  • im stuck on the last 2...was 15 seconds over which sucked i find using RT +Y is helpfull and using a weapon and hitting Y fills ur meter faster i find but it still sucks :p
  • The last one would be a hell of a lot easier if the frame rate wasn't so bad. It's just about bearable until the last wave, too many massive guys on the screen for you to effectively take care of the Aegis.
  • The games a pile of pish
  • Shadow of the wickerman was a leap above the rest in difficulty, I found it easier to save the blades/machetes for the blue and orange guys and lining up multiple large enemies before using RT+Y. With the rest of the tips on here I managed it after 6 goes. Also for me the load time between waves increased as the wave number increased.
  • If anyone is still interested the doc arenas do count toward this. It's any 6 s ranks.
  • Wanna watch this game quickly turn from hard to easy? The answer to all your problems in this game is SPLATTER SMASH, SPLATTER SMASH, and SPLATTER SMASH! Max out Splatter Smash with your skill points ASAP (before anything else) and REMEMBER- HOLDING THE “Y” BUTTON DOWN CHARGES SPLATTER SMASH AND DEALS OUT SERIES DAMAGE TO LARGER ENEMIES. It also can be pointed in the direction of a specific enemy while it is charging with “Y”. The Survival Arenas are easy after this.
  • Also, this achievement counts with ANY 6 S-Rank Survival Arenas- That includes those in-game and DLC. BUT- THE 6 IN-GAME SURVIVIAL ARENAS MUST BE THE ONE’S THAT ARE S-RANKED IN ORDER TO GET THE “House that West Built” Achievement.
