Echtzeit Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) This is my first attempt at writing some sort of "guide". I certainly won't be able to complete this on my own, so please share your findings and maybe we can compile a complete list in due time. So far all that is written here is very much WORK IN PROGRESS. What are "crowns"? Crowns are ingame awards and specific to Perfect Dark on XBLA. They are unlocked by fullfiling certain criteria, which are not mentioned anywhere and have to be figured out by the players themselves. Where can I find these crowns? In the menus under "Help & Options" there is a point called "Awards". Here you have four rows with just the symbols and the name of the crown, no explanation is given, not even after unlocking it. The symbols themselves pose the only hint besides the name. How many crowns are there? There is a total of 26 crowns and 5 unlockables. How can they be obtained? Some of the crowns for the singleplayer missions are tied to a difficulty level, the minimum requirement is indicated. You will see a confirmation in the lower left corner and a text in the statistics screen when you beat the level. Once unlocked, they also show up beside your name in the leaderboards. Can crowns be earned in Co-Operative? So far it seems, not all of the crowns can be unlocked, only some. Guide (from left to right): If you need help finding hidden weapons, please refer to this guide. First row: 1. No Help Needed - [Perfect Agent] "1.1 dataDyne Central - Defection" Kill 15 enemies with auto aim disabled 2. Close Proximity - [Agent] "1.2 dataDyne Research - Investigation" Blow up three enemies at the same time with the hidden proximity mine 3. Good Enough For Clint - [Agent] "1.3 dataDyne Central - Extraction" Kill any eight enemies with headshots with the hidden DY357-Magnum 4. Way Of The Assassin - [Perfect Agent] "2 Carrington Villa - Hostage One" Pick up the sniper rifle in the bathroom and kill five enemies with it, you have to hit the head AND you can't zoom in 5. Quickly Does It - [Agent] "3.1 Chicago - Stealth" (The real unlocking criteria for single player are still unknown) [Co-Operative Workaround] Player one waits at the case, player two uses the BombSpy to blow up the four guards at the exit. P1 picks up the case, while P2 exits the level 6. Bow To The Audience - [Agent] "3.2 G5 Building - Reconnaissance" Shoot eight enemies with the hidden crossbows secondary firemode "instant kill" 7.

Player one talks to the president, as soon as the cinematic starts, let go of "R" on second controller and timely finish the level with P1 [Alternative] Complete objective three first and beat the level in under 1:30. 12.

Player one reactivates the turrets while player two starts to free the hostages on the top floor. Complete the first two objectives in under 1:30 min and finish the level. 16. Against All Odds... - [Perfect Agent] "8 Attack Ship - Covert Assault" You have to kill the skedar on the bridge with the double maulers (last room, the one in the middle) with the hidden slayer, time doesn't seem to matter too much but you have to use the secondary fire mode 17.

Invisibility Factor - [special Agent] "SA Mr. Blonde's Revenge" Finish the Level withouth using the cloak Third row: 19. Magnum Forced - [Perfect Agent] "SA Maian S.O.S."

Beat the level in less than 1:40 min and kill each of the three kings with a headshot from the charged up mauler [pending info] 21. Perfect Head - [Perfect Agent] "SA The Duel" Kill all three enemies with headshots, you can miss shots, but the killing blow HAS to be a headshot, must be done in under 25 seconds as well. 22.

Avatar Award 2 - Complete any Special Assignment on any difficulty 31. Perfect Dark Theme - Get a kill with every weapon that is available in single player without using cheats (the best way to do this is to play through all of the single player missions on Agent and use every single weapon you find, the hidden ones too) Edited August 30, 2010 by Echtzeit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bblcreator8790 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Sweet, these will make the game more interesting. I bet more of them have to do with getting "secret items" in the levels. Like how #2 is getting the proximity mine behind the isotope, and I bet #3 is getting the magnum for killing all the guards with headshots on the ground floor of the third level.

Untitled Agent Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 the guide looks good so far, nice job (i've linked it into my achievement guide, hope you don't mind). it looks like a bit of a strange list, there seems to be some crossover between this list and the achievements (bronze, silver and gold should be referring to either the firing range difficulties, or the mission difficulties). three kings sounds like it involves three people playing king of the hill, and the name's dark sounds very bondlike (so probably connected to the classic maps/weapons).

Untitled Agent Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 just a thought- i want to be sedated possibly refers to using the crossbow (with sedation shots) to take out a certain number of enemies on mission 5.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanditBanks Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) This needs a bump. I just managed to get all Golds in the firing range but I the 3 crowns called 'Bronze, Silver and Gold' haven't been unlocked. So maybe you have to do something else? EDIT: Ohhh, I'm thinking those are to do with numbers of medals won from deathmatches. I'm quite sure that the last 5 crowns are to do with multiplayer. 18-21 are most likely to do with the bonus missions. [18] Invisibility Factor - Could be doing something with the cloak, obviously lol. [19]Magnum Forced - Maybe blowing up the Maian UFO with the dual golden magnums? [20]Three Kings - More than likely finishing the last bonus mission on Perfect Agent. [21]Perfect Head - I'm gonna hazard a guess and say headshot the 3 enemies on Perfect Agent. EDIT 2: I played The Duel on each difficulty... Agent: 1 headshot 100% accuracy. No award. Special Agent: 2 headshots 100% accuracy. No award. Perfect Agent: 3 headshots 100% accuracy. No award.

Channel 8 News Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I unlocked Gamer Picture 1 when I won a combat simulator with all four medals. Does anyone want to confirm that's what it takes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaMeReVX Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 1. No Help Needed - [Perfect Agent] "1.1 dataDyne Central - Defection" Beat the level with auto aim disabled (unlocks at end of level)Doing it on Perfect Agent, I got this midway through the level. I would guess you only need a certain amount of enemies killed. (15?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceStormDragoon Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 13. Tick Tick...Boom - [Agent] "6.1 Pelagic II - Exploration", Kill one or more enemies with the N-Grenade (unlocks directly) How sure are you of this? I just killed at least two people with an impact det n-bomb on agent and I got nothing. Do I have to use all three of them or use proxy det? I'm just a little perplexed on how one person can have it, but no another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanva Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hmm, interesting, maybe someone could confirm this and count the kills? Confirmed. 15 kills without auto-aim on perfect agent and it unlocked in the middle of the level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess you only need a certain amount of enemies killed. (15?)Also, if you want to make this a bit easier, use the Secondary function of the CMP150 (Follow Lock-on). Target your enemy with and it will act as an auto-aim for that target. Thanks for confirming the 15 as well as I just finished as I saw more results.

scoot338 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Confirmed. 15 kills without auto-aim on perfect agent and it unlocked in the middle of the level. also confirmed, and after i'd failed one of the main objectives no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echtzeit Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Thanks guys, updated. So far there are no crowns left that don't unlock immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramel Cardinal Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 for 10. I Want To Be Sedated - airbase espionage on special agent, take out the drug spy straight away and quickly sedate the guards and the air stewardess with it (think it may only have to be the air hostess as thats when i got it but best to just drug everyone to be sure ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilmo X Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) I unlocked Gamer Picture 1 when I won a combat simulator with all four medals. Does anyone want to confirm that's what it takes? I can confirm this is correct, just tested it now! Do you think The Name's Dark...Perfect Dark. is for reaching Rank 1: Perfect Dark?

Do you think The Name's Dark...Perfect Dark. is for reaching Rank 1: Perfect Dark? That's what I thought... Someone on the leaderboards already has that crown though, which is technically impossible because you need to accumulate 12 days play time in the combat simulator to go to Rank1. That's only one of the requirements as well. EDIT: I just unlocked the theme, which is actually pretty damn awesome. It unlocked just as I got my 'Carrington Institute Specialist', which for me, was the last of the three specialist achievements. Could that be the key to unlocking it? Confirmation anybody?

I'm just a little perplexed on how one person can have it, but no another. I did it on Agent by throwing exactly ONE N-Grenade in the primary fire mode, but I'm not sure how many guys it killed or if it has to be a specific kind of enemy.

Untitled Agent Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Some guys have the game since last week for review purposes, so maybe it's one of them? only if they've reduced the time requirement- it literally required 12 full days of play time in the combat simulator before.

Wilmo X Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 27. Gamer Picture 1 - Earn four medals in a combat simulator challenge Just a heads up, that might be a little misleading because in combat simulator challenges you get 1 - 4 medals depending on the number of players. I would word it: "Earn all 4 player awards in a single combat simulator/multiplayer match" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
