Introduction

Welcome to Charlie Murder, Ska Software's 2013 title for Summer of Arcade. This is a fun, music-centric arcade game is a brawler similar to Scott Pilgrim. It'll take quite a while to get all of the achievements (mostly thanks to I'm Thorough), but luckily it isn't too difficult.

Step 1: Playthrough One: Bad Ending

For your first playthrough, choose any character. Simply play through until the end without equipping all of the parts of Smockula's body at the end and you'll earn the achievement for the bad ending (I Can Destroy the World). You will also earn several achievements along the way for tattoos, bosses, and other miscellaneous tasks.

 

Step 2: Character Skill Achievements

For each character, there is an achievement related to their abilities. You'll have to play through a good portion of the game for some of them, but for others the achievement will be available within a few level-ups. This is good, however, because it lets you play with all of the characters and helps you figure out which you're best with.

 

The achievements are: I Demolished You With The 80's for Rex, I'll Give Birth to a King for Kelly, I'm a Knife-Wielding Lunatic for Charlie, I Made a Garden of Skulls for Tommy, and I Steal Your Soul for Lester. Refer to the guide below for more information on those.

 

Step 3: Playthroughs Two and Three

Once you've gotten to know the characters through step two, decide which one you like best. This is important, because the game gets harder on repeated playthroughs and it's crucial to use a character you're good with. Once you do, play through the game two more times on Chaos and Total Anarchy settings and get the good endings for I'm The King of Rock and Roll and I'm All Sorts of Famous, respectively. You'll also get I Collected a Being and I Can Save The World by doing this if you haven't already gotten them.

 

Step 4: Wrap-Up

At this point, you shouldstill need I'm Thorough and possibly a handful of miscellaneous achievements. Use the guide below to wrap up the game.

 

Conclusion:

Congratulations on saving the world and getting a well-earned 400:gsicon: along the way!

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/+Tx8mw==.jpg I Can Save The World - 20

Get the good ending.

 

To do this, you need to beat the game while having all of Smockula's body parts equipped as relics. This can be obtained on any difficulty with any character. For more information on Smockula's body parts, refer to I Collected a Being.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/+x11Lg==.jpg I Can Destroy The World - 15

Get the bad ending.

 

To get this, beat the game without all of Smockula's body parts equipped. You can have them all in your inventory, just make sure at least one isn't equipped. This can be obtained on any difficulty with any character.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-yP9GE=.jpg I'm The King of Rock and Roll - 20

Get the good ending (Chaos playthrough)

 

Refer to I'm All Sorts of Famous.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-1vDPI=.jpg I'm All Sorts of Famous - 20

Get the good ending (Total Anarchy playthrough)

 

After beating the game with a character on normal difficulty, you unlock Chaos difficulty. Beat it again and you unlock Total Anarchy difficulty. Each is progressively harder and youmust get the good endings for the corresponding achievements. For information on the good endings, refer to I Can Save The World.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/+v2NvQ==.jpg I Fixed Your Heart - 15

Resuscitate a downed bandmate.

 

When playing in multiplayer, if your bandmate goes down (which is very likely to happen at one point or another), just go over to them and hit :bbut:.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/-19mRA==.jpg I'm a Serious Musician - 20

Get 100% on any music minigame part

 

Music minigame parts take place throughout the story. Some of them (such as the ones with Rex) are fairly difficult, but Kelly's parts are all very easy. Simply play through the game with her until the first music part and this should be a breeze.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/-r+e1w==.jpg I'm a Knife-Wielding Lunatic - 10

Sever all limbs while dual-wielding machetes

 

This is Charlie's character-specific achievement. In order to get it, unlock Dual-Wielding as an ability, then find two machetes. This can be slightly difficult because machetes are relatively rare, they break fairly easily, and limbs can take a while to pop off.

 

In order to minimize your difficulty with this, be at a decent level and play on a low difficulty at the Gor'Castle Parks Entrance with the Mithiril Cog relic. Take the ferry across, and in this area run back and forth, using the machetes to hack at everything. Machetes are common here, and there are plenty of enemies to hack at. Additionally, if you have the Cyclone skill available, you can use that to hit enemies - it won't damage your items and will inflict significant damage.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/-J6XYg==.jpg I Made a Garden of Skulls - 10

Make a cluster of 5 healing totems.

 

This is Tommy's character-specific achievement. In order to unlock it, unlock Healing Totems as an ability. From there, you can make a healing totem by picking up a severed head and pressing :ybut:.

 

An easy way to get five of these close together is to use a powerful character with a bladed weapon. Doing so will frequently decapitate enemies in one hit. Once there are five heads in an area, create the healing totems in close proximity to one another and this will pop.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/-X5v8Q==.jpg I Demolished You With The 80's - 10

Crush an enemy beneath an arcade machine.

 

This is Rex's character-specific achievement. In order to unlock it, you need to unlock heavy lifting as a skill.

 

Once you do so, find an arcade machine - there are severalthe game. Pick one of these up with :xbut: and then throw it with either :xbut: or :ybut:. The throw must kill an enemy and knock them down for the achievement to unlock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/-ll7-w==.jpg I Steal Your Soul - 10

Rob 7 enemies of their souls.

 

This is Lester's character-specific achievement. In order to unlock it, unlock Soul Sucker as a skill. Once you do so, you will be able to steal souls from downed enemies by pressing :ybut:. Do so seven times for the achievement.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/-7mDbA==.jpg I Got a Tattoo - 10

Get your first tattoo! You look great.

 

This is story-related and can't be missed. Shortly after the I Brought Down a Giant achievement, you'll enter a building. After a few obstacles you'll see a tattoo chair where you will get this.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/-JbcwA==.jpg I'm All Inked Up - 20

Get ALL tattoos. Now you're a mage.

 

Simply buy all tattoos for any one character. You buy them inside tattoo parlors throughout the world. The parlor locations are:

 

  1. By O'Flanagan's Alley (Ink of Rage)
  2. By the Gor'Castle Gift Shop (Gor'Castle Ink 4 Kidz)
  3. By Piratenbase (Murder You Tattoo)
  4. In Hermits Refuge Cave (Kermie's Creations Tattoo)
  5. Direblade Plaza (The Forbidden Quill)
  6. In Mallrus Shopping World (7th Level Magic User Tattoo)

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/-rfVdQ==.jpg I'm a Uniter - 10

Host a team attack, join a team attack.

 

This requires two people or a second controller. In order to use it, you must first unlock your character's team attack. Luckily, these are available at level two for every character. The team attacks are called Mosh Pit, Stygian Beast, Gerudo Mech, and Free Ride Combo. Which one is available to you will depend on your character.

 

Once your team attack is unlocked, you must reach a 20 hit combo to make it available to use (if you're having problems with this, you CAN hit your co-op partner to boost this number).

 

Finally, once this is done, hit :ltbut: and :rtbut: simultaneously to prompt your co-op buddy to do the same. When they do, you'll perform a team attack and unlock this achievement.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/-1ct5g==.jpg I Melt Your Face a Thousand Ways - 15

Poison, burn, melt, shock, explode, and shatter your foes.

 

As you defeat enemies and earn money, you'll also find new equipment and be able to buy even more. Different pieces of equipment can have different effects. Poisoning, burning, metling, shocking, and freezing (which leads to shattering) can all be gained through equipment. For explosion, simply throw one of the grenades from a crate at an enemy. Environmental items can also cause death through the other effects, so if you can't find a specific piece of equipment for something, check the environment around you as you play.

 

If you're struggling with this and don't know which you're missing, it's likely frost - there are fewer frost items than other elements in the game. In order to get frost easily, use Kelly's Evil Eye tattoo.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/+xU+jA==.jpg I Battled a Ghost - 20

Defeat Lord Mortimer's phantom

 

This is story-related and can't be missed.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/+vXGHw==.jpg I Gave Them a Show - 20

Defeat King Tepes.

 

This is story-related and can't be missed.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/+TQ3OQ==.jpg I Brought Down a Giant - 10

Defeat the Boss Monster.

 

This is story-related and can't be missed.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-6u-dQ=.jpg I'm a Brewmaster - 10

Craft a beer

 

To do this, you need yeast, malt, and barley. All three drop from enemies randomly. Once you have one of each, go to the brewery and mash the malt and barley together. This will give you a wort, which you can then ferment with a yeast. This will give you an achievement and a beer.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-9OBUc=.jpg I'm Thorough - 20

Find all relics

 

This will likely be your last achievement. There are 54* relics which you must collect to get this. Several are gained by taking pictures of specific people/things, others are gained by beating optional bosses, and still others are completely random bosses.

 

A full guide can be found here, with a handy Excel checklist. If you're struggling to find some specific relics, try checking here to trade for relics.

 

*Note: This was glitched until June 2014 when a patch was applied to the game. The glitch involved a 55th relic that would never drop. As of June 2014, the achievement is patched to only include the 54 obtainable relics.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-ktH5g=.jpg I Have an Army - 10

Unlock an alternate band from the Sceneiverse

 

You'll first need to acquire a golden ticket. Very rarely these will drop from enemies, but they're available in many different stores, so that would be a better option. Once you have one, equip it as a relic, head to the Art Street theater. Fight the boss at the end and you'll earn this as well as the "alternative" band.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-xQLuA=.jpg I'm Cemetary Go Go Go - 10

Defeat Circe Bathory in St. Sanders Cemetary

 

This is story-related and can't be missed.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-2w1nM=.jpg I Removed a Stain - 10

Defeat the Lady in Tatters.

 

This is story-related and can't be missed.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-gSPYo=.jpg I Cut the Supply Chain - 10

Defeat the Infected Roadie.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-1Ufkw=.jpg I Earned an Organ - 10

Defeat the Gory Mound.

 

The Gory Mound is the first optional boss. To fight it, go out of the dead-end gate at the end of St. Sanders Cemetary to the Derelict Crypt. At the end of the level, the Gory Mound awaits. Defeat him to earn an achievement and one of the parts you need for I Collected a Being.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-91d-k=.jpg I Collected a Being - 10

Accumulate Smockula's Body.

 

This achievement is required for the good ending. In order to get it, you must collect all of Smockula's body parts. In order to do this, you'll have to go down several dead ends and fight optional bosses. The body part/boss locations are:

 

  • Smockula's Eye (obtained from Hermit Refuge Camp)
  • Smockula's Heart (obtained form St. Sander's Cemetery)
  • Smockula's Liver (obtained Camp Falconbats)
  • Smockula's Tooth (obtained the sewer near in Direblade Plaza)
  • Smockula's Brain (obtained from Brinelake Dock)

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-6Vj2o=.jpg I Like It Better This Way - 10

Dye some clothes. How does that look?

 

You can buy dye from several shops. Once you have it, open your inventory by hitting :back:. From there, select the dye, press :xbut:, pick the piece of clothing you want to dye and press :xbut: again.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1459/5-s3ZJM=.jpg I'll Give Birth to a King - 10

Eat a heart while in female form.

 

This is Kelly's character-specific achievement. In order to unlock it, you need to unlock the Heart Rip skill for Kelly. Once you have that, you can pick up a weakened enemy with :bbut: and then eat their heart by pressing :bbut: again.

* You get the good ending by collecting all the Smockula parts.

 

* For the dyed clothes achievement, you can simply buy any dye at one of the shop locations and apply it to an item in your inventory.

 

* The achievements for killing the Boss Monster, Lord Mortimer's phantom, King Tepes, Circe Bathory, the Lady in Tatters, the Infected Roadie, Beelzebaal, Vlad the Eternally Cold, and the Wretched Electronics are all story-related and unmissable.

 

* For the beer crafting achievement, you must have collected yeast and grains to make a wort, then combine the wort with an additional ingredient to make the beer. These permanently increase your stats.

 

* For I have an army, you'll need to buy a theatre ticket at one of the shops (they very, very occasionally drop from kills too), then equip it as a relic and enter the theatre in the first area (Flanagan's Alley, I think it's called). Defeat the monsters for the achievement.

 

* You unlock the Chaos playthrough after completing the game on the regular difficulty, and the Total Anarchy playthrough for completing the game on Chaos difficulty.

For '' I'm a Knife-Wielding Lunatic'' just load Hermit's Refuge Cave. There you can find 3+ guys with machete.

 

Straight forward list. Relics achievement can be time sink if you don't trade with other people though. I've got 48 so far and still haven't unlocked it. :/

Do you have to be a required level to wear 5 relics? I'm 26 and haven't even seen the skill to equip 5 at once.

 

i do think so...you can use the point you got(after certain level maybe, but i guess 26 is enough)to increase the number of relics that you can wear

Specifically for the heart eating as Kelly you'll need to buy the perk for it. Then when an enemy is weak grab him with B and press B again to rip out and eat his heart.

 

If the enemy is weak enough upon grabbing you'll have a prompt for pressing B. If he needs a lil weakening punch that fool a few times.

I can confirm that you only need to gather all the tattoos for one character, I don't know how many there are for everyone else, but there's about 8 for Charlie. Just keep visiting tattoo shops as you play the game, it usually says Ink outside when you're near a door for one, and you should have them all purchased by the you're in the Mallrus World Mall area. The tattoo joint there I believe is called 7th Level Magic User and should hold the final two tattoos for you.

That's sad news because you probably have to gather all the relics on a single character too.
