AltruismIsDead Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Ever since reading about this coming out for Xbox Live I had been helly excited... anyways, I don't know if I did something wrong or if one of the achievements are glitched: No Swimming Pass the bridge in mission 3 without falling in the water. I did this without falling in the water, or falling off any ledges what so ever on that stage. Although I did die and use continues. Anyone else get this achievement, and if so did you die/ use continues at all? Also, to mention the 3rd Base achievement.... "Finish Mission 3 holding a baseball bat". After you beat the 2 Bolos (while holding the bat) you drop it and move on. Then the rest of the stage there are no more enemies with bats... so I am guessing that you might have to jump off the ledge with the bat so when you complete the 2 Bolos the bat is already on the ground? Edit: I read in the Hints and Tips "The weapon you are carrying can sometimes be taken into the next level if you are standing in the correct position when your character discards it." Um...k.... I am just trying to figure out how that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltruismIsDead Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 I just got it after doing it a second time... I put the settings on Custom, Difficulty - Easy, 4 lives and an extra life at 20,000. So I see you can get achievements on the easy difficulty. Now as far as the Third Base achievement goes, I am guessing you need to drop your bat at the top of the screen when you fight the 2 Bolos so it drops down on the platform below you. Then pick it up once you drop down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltruismIsDead Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Also figured out some good strategies so far for the achievements: First make sure that you set it on easy difficulty, turn on extra lives for 30,000 & 60,000 (since you only get 1 life for 20,000). Untouchable: Use the A + B elbow smash move on the enemies, it should only take 2 to 3 hits per enemy. Advance slowly so you only get 1 to 2 enemies on screen at most. Third Base: When you fight the 2 Bolos on the cliff, go to the upper right corner of the screen and get hit so the bat gets knocked out of your hands and lands as close to the right side of the screen as far as possible. After you beat the 2 Bolos your character will walk over to the ledge of the cliff, but don't drop down, turn around and grab the bat from up top where you dropped it. Sneaky: The lucky way I did this was by moving forwards and backwards quickly at the bottom of the screen until one of the bricks moved out. After it moved back in I quickly ran to the next pillar. Keep doing this and run underneath the 1st spear and this achievement should unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches4711 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 thanks for the good advice I was wondering how to get these achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltruismIsDead Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 A couple more strategies for some of the achievements: Get the Girl: You can play a local co-op game for this. Just start on the second controller and kill off your partner right away. Get to the end boss battle and then continue with him. Beat the boss with both of you characters alive and you will then have to battle your partner. Once you beat him and get the girl the achievement should unlock shortly. Hero: Just set the game to easy difficulty - 4 lives, and extra lives at 30,000 & 60,000 just proceed through the game slow enough so you only battle 1 - 2 enemies at a time. Use A+B for the elbow smash move and move away from them after they get knocked down so they can't hit you when they get up right away. No Mercy After multiple plays, you shouldn't have to worry about conserving lives or continues. Make sure you kill all the enemies at boss battles before you defeat the bosses. You can also knock people off ledges and they can kill themselves with their own dynomite as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron T Beagle Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 i got the no swimming one first time didnt change anything and i had used conttinues and stuff dont think i died on that level before i got across the bridge though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clear31 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 i found an easy way to get the dynamite 2 enemies achievement. On the last level right before you fight the 2 big guys who pop out of the wall there will be 3 enemies before after passing the blocks out of the walls. Lead the three guys to the 2 big dudes and youll have a nice small area to work with to toss the dynamite at them. Keeps them in a closer area bunched together since its a skinny ledge going straight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyger7 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 For the Get the Girl achievement you simply press start with the second controller before you kill the last boss. You don't have to start the game with the second controller at all, I have done this. The dynamite one wasn't too bad. You don't actually have to be the one throwing the dynamite. I got mine where there are two guys and a dynamite thrower. I think it was the 2nd level, you jump up on top of the next sublevel (or whatever those big crate things are) and for some reason he wont jump up, he will continue to throw dynamite. The other two henchmen are on that box with you, but don't have far to run since they are on that box with you. They will both die when a stick explodes by all three of you. Do custom setting allow achievements to unlock? I really think this is kind of a hard game even on easy to beat the game without continues. Or even beating the first level without getting hit! Seems impossible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clear31 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I really think this is kind of a hard game even on easy to beat the game without continues. Or even beating the first level without getting hit! Seems impossible! yeah it is a hard game. its really i think simply because alot of us are so used to the easy nes version. The arcade version actually was similar though im not sure if it was as hard. I just beat the level without being hit and it was annoying but you just have to take the level slow and the elbow move helps alot. Does bare hands matter if you dont use the weapon but simply pick one up by accident? nevermind i got the bare hands and i almost had the game beat without a continue i got to the damn spears on mission 4 after the wall with 3 lives but ket dying right there to stupid mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashaka1 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 The easiest way to get the achievements in this game is with the elbow attack, you can kill any mob in the game without taking hits very easily, if you time it you can hit them as they are standing up and they never even get the chance to hurt you. I've already aquired all but the traps stage 4 and the coop achievements for this game and I haven't played it in many years. One thing that will help with the elbow, esp on the harder mobs, they get up fast when they have more life and the more you knock them down, the slower they get up. So you have to change the speed of your attack and make it slower as you do more damage to them. I did no continues and no hits on first stage in the same round on my first try. Just get used to the elbow attack, it's the ultimate weapon in this game. =-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches4711 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Yes I agree the elbow attack works the best I almost got the untouchable it is a little annoying but doable for sure. On the get the girl achievement do you have to have a 2nd profile logged in on the other controller. also for no weapon achievement if you accidently pick it up but do not use it do you get the achievmet.

RavenBlackthorn Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Patches, One thing that you may find helpful with this achievement is to not even use your hands to fight. I know that sounds retarded but what I mean is, Press X the entire time, not B. The problem with pressing B is that B punches, as well as picks up weapons, so it is very easy to accidentally pick one up. The requirements for Bare Hands is to "Complete a single player game without using any object." Meaning that you can use your kick attack. It is not limited exclusively to hands as the "Bare Hands" name might imply. Just keep hammering X the entire game and you'll get it no problem. -Raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaPrototype Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 The no swimming one isn't working for me. I didn't use a continue in this level. I may have lost a life before this though. I'll have to try again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuddleD Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Good advice and help with the achievements. I was wondering if this game is worth it? I Haven't d/led it yet but I was planning on doing it if it was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltruismIsDead Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Yeah, it's definitely worth a download and for $5 bucks you just can't beat it. Just try out the trial if you're unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to try again tonight. did you walk completely across the bridge and get past the big guy? It unlocked for me i think as i approached that rock directly across where the first guy is up in the tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegamustard Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 the dynamite achievement is easy, just hold a piece of dynamite and walk near two guys, let the dynamite explode killing both guys and hurting you, works that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenBlackthorn Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yeah, Altruism pretty much nailed it when he said move slowly and use the A+B combination. For some reason, if you face away from an enemy, (when using the A+B combo you basically face away and swing the elbow behind you, anyway) they don't attack you very often. They instead seem to go in for the grab almost every time. This tendency for the A.I. to grab, brings them well within Elbow Smash range and makes this achievement easier to achieve then one might imagine. The only real clinchers for this achievement are: 1) advancing too quickly I.E. running directly into an enemies fists as they approach, 2) getting cornered during the few instances that more than one enemy appear on the screen at once, and 3) getting hit with weapons. Advancing too quickly, thats an easy enough one to solve, and after a few runs, you'll know where the enemies appear from (upper, lower, middle, bust through wall, come from behind etc). Just take your time, it's a short level. No need to rush. Getting cornered can be tricky, but there a few times that this happens in this level. Once near the beginning, and possibly once near the end. Just try and knock one of the enemies down with the Elbow Smash, and circle around to try and keep both of them on one side of you. If you get your timing right, both enemies will sort of mirror each others movements and you can smash both of them at the same time. There is also a spot near the end where you'll face a chick with a whip, a dude with a bat, and an Abobo (potentially all at the same time if you move too quickly). You can however climb the ladder to try and split them up. The last clincher, getting hit with weapons is not too big of an issue if you get your timing right. The chick with the whip will occasionally hit you from behind as you are lining up your Elbow Smash. If she does, no biggee, just restart. If you can knock her down and get her whip from her, the guy with the bat is easily dealt with. Take out the chick (only two elbow smashes for the girls I think) grab the whip, head up the ladder, and whip the bat guy twice as hes coming up the ladder. Drop down (which will cause you to lose the whip, which BTW is a good thing) and elbow smash the Abobo. Advance forward very slowly here, watching out for the guy with the knife. If you stand straight across from him, he'll toss the knife at you every time. If you stand above or below him, you can easily elbow him and take him out. Advance slowly again (if you go fast, you'll fight several more enemies than you need to) and fight the remaining boss. I like to try and fight him where the first Abobo came crashing through the wall. Just smash, move above or below him, smash, rinse and repeat. (Just be sure to move every time so he doesn't grab and throw you). Once you take out the boss, any remaining enemies that you didn't trigger because you moved slowly will disappear. Again, short level, take Altruism's advice, move slowly and smash away. Also, my good buddy shftleft brought up a good point that may be causing this achievement not to trigger: Remember how I mentioned that the A.I. goes in for the grab almost every time if you face away from them? Well, getting grabbed counts as getting touched, so if they do manage to grab you before you get the Elbow off, go ahead and restart and try again. Just focus on the timing to make sure you hit them before they get close enough to grab. -Raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashaka1 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Lots of people are talking about the no swimming achievement, I got it on my first time through the game and I didn't really have any problems with it. I jumped the bridge and walked to the other side, it didn't give me the achievement until after I had killed the guys around the bridge and moved forward a little... I was starting to think I wasn't going to get it when it finally chimed in. =-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
