Introduction

 

This is a very easy game, especially for the 400 achievement points it gives you. First off, there is no difficulty to pick. You can adjust screen brightness to make things easier to see if you want. You must find collectibles in this game, which is where your actual attention will likely be. You have to complete the level for it to count in your stats for 100%. Each scene can be completed pretty quickly and are all replayable through the scene selection. There are a few miscellaneous achievements to be obtained which are detailed in the guide. There is only 1 online achievement and that is for having a friend who has played the game, and looking at their name in the leaderboards.

 

Storage Device Notification: Sometimes after completing a scene, you will get a warning saying something about your storage device not being found. I have seen many of these messages and I haven't really had any problems with lost information.

 

Step 1: Play through game grabbing all secrets, diary pages, and handhelds

 

Start the game and have a collectible guide or video handy. Follow it and grab everything. A lot of the achievements are story related or require you to gain the collectibles. You do need to remember to get a few miscellaneous ones done while you play, so check through the guide to find out which ones those are.You may play the handheld mini games as soon as you complete them to beat the easy scores, or play them later through the main menu. There is scene select, so if you missed any collectibles just replay the levels to obtain them.

Step 2: Play the handheld mini games

 

There are a total of 3 handheld mini games in the main menu. You must have collected them from each scene. Follow a collectible guide in order to gain them all. Play them and beat the high scores to get the associated achievements.

 

Step 3: Leaderboards/Spreading the Disease

 

Very easy. All you need is a friend who has the game. If you do not have one, go to the Achievement Trading Thread in the forum to find someone who also needs it, or is willing to help. Go into the leaderboards and as long as the friend is on it, you will gain the achievement.

 

Conclusion

 

If you missed anything, there is always scene selection. Just remember that for collectibles, the game is not perfect when saving information. Sometimes you get the saving icon after picking them up, other times you must move on until you see it (either from completing the checkpoint or the whole level). I just complete the whole level to be safe, because I have had to get a few collectibles multiple times. Others report no issues.

Tackle an enemy

 

To tackle an enemy, press and hold :rbbut: to sprint. At full sprint, you should automatically tackle an enemy. You will need enough running room to do this. A decent spot is in Act 1 Scene 2 (End of the Tunnel). Near the end of the tunnel is a door to exit. Before you exit, you can run back to the now approaching enemies and tackle one for the achievement.

In Act 1 Scene 6 (Checkpoint Charlie), you will come to a memory where you learn how to shoot a gun. Once you get told to shoot a can, don't.

If you don't do it fast enough, you can keep refilling your bullets with the ammo boxes to your right.

For this achievement, you must have someone on your friends list that has played this game. Go into the leaderboards from the main menu. As long as you see the name of the friend, you will be "infected". Now back out to gain your easy achievement.

Beat the high score in Madness Mansion

 

During the Act 3 Scene 2 (Fallen) you will find yourself in a collapsing building for the second time in the level. Once you leap, you will be holding on to a ladder.

You must beat the score of 30, which is a very low score.

 

How to Play:

 

Press :abut: to start the game. Move your character around with :ls:. There are ghosts trying to light candles to summon a monster. Press or hold :abut: to turn your flashlight on and destroy them. Once you get past 30 points, you may lose or exit and gain the achievement.

Beat the high score in Sport Daisy

 

During the Act 2 Scene 10 (Playoff) you will venture through a hockey arena mainly traveling through locker rooms. Once you are out of the locker room area, you will be outside again. You As you head left, you will jump onto an obstacle. Look back and you should see the stadium seating leading up from the hall you came out of. Jump up to it and there will be a shelf to move. Climb up it, and continue on the new path which has you climbing up. Shoot the lock when get to it and continue on. The handheld is at the end of the path (way above the man you must save). Play it there by pressing :xbut: when you collect it, or in the main menu in Randall's Memories, you go to handhelds and it is the first one. You must beat the score of 30, which is a very low score.

 

How to Play:

 

Press :abut: to start the game. You will be copying the moves of the instructor. To make it a little easier, press :start: to show the controls. You will be using the shoulder buttons and triggers to copy when Daisy lifts her legs or her arms. The three kids behind her represent your lives/chances. Keep going until you notice your score above 30. Then let yourself lose and back out to gain the achievement.

Beat the high score in Raven Thunder's Rock Legend

 

During the Act 1 Scene 2 (The End of the Tunnel) you will be going down a ladder and should see a pipe tunnel to your left. This is when the game is telling you how to slide down ladders.

Play it there by pressing :xbut: when you collect it, or in the main menu in Randall's Memories, you go to handhelds and it is the first one.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2217/5-9nlO4=.jpgWhat You Need 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Find the first health expander

 

There are a total of 3 of these in the game. They just give you another health block. You will only need to collect 1 of them. It does not have to be "the first one" in the game. Collecting any will get you the achievement.

Act: 1 Scene: 5 (A Chance Meeting)

 

As soon as the scene starts, go backwards (which is left). Knock down the boards with your axe then crawl under the opening. Run to the body and examine it for a health upgrade.

Push a zombie over a railing

 

This can be done in a few places, but the one that makes most sense is on Act 2 Scene 8 (Lydia). You will obtain a fire axe on this scene. Once you do, break the lock and kill the first enemy you see. Continue past the other ignoring it. Break the other door down and get the enemy over near the railing. Get on the left side of it and push it until it falls over the railing.

Kill an enemy with a single melee attack

 

After getting the axe in Act 1 Scene 4 (Outskirts) you will be able to obtain this. As you are fighting enemies during the game, you will likely get this by chance. Hitting an enemy during a swing (pressing :bbut:) that makes contact with it's head will result in a decapitation. This will gain you the achievement. Usually this is best done with groups of enemies and swinging randomly at them.

Perform a headshot

 

Once you obtain the pistol in Act 1 Scene 6 (Checkpoint Charlie) you will be able to shoot enemies as long as you have bullets. Aim by using :rs: and angle it to their head/face. Now shoot with :rtbut:. You should get a lot of these since it is the most effective way to dispose of them.

Execute an enemy

 

The first chance you can get this achievement is in Act 1 Scene 4 (Outskirts). You will obtain the axe. When you come to the first set of enemies in the area, the game will explain how to execute. Knock an enemy over by pressing :bbut: to swing your axe. Now get near it and hold :bbut: and you will swing your axe down and kill it.

Perform a combo on an enemy

 

The first chance you will have is in Act 1 Scene 4 (Outskirts). After obtaining the axe, you will fight off enemies in this level at times. Press :bbut: twice in a row and you should perform a combo. Your character will swing the axe and then push the enemy with the handle.

Survive a close encounter

 

This is one of those achievements where you would have obtained it without needing any help. When enemies start grabbing you, the game shows to press :bbut: repeatedly to escape. Do this once for the achievement. It can be obtained in the very first level with the enemies.

Roll to avoid lethal fall damage

This achievement means to avoid damage, not death. That means if you are too high up, you will not fall into a roll and will die. The first spot to obtain this is listed below. As you are falling, you must hold :ltbut: to roll once you hit the ground. It is very easy, you just need to find a spot to do it.

 

This can be obtained in the first level. There will be a point when you find yourself outside and have to climb up ladders. Once at the top, you will have to make your way down the other side. There is a ladder that leads down. Instead of going down the ladder, press :abut: on the railing to hang on it. Press :bbut: to let yourself drop. Hold the :ltbut: to roll and gain the achievement.

 

You will later be taught how to do this, and likely get the achievement there if you had not gotten it yet.

Get 100% of Deadlight

 

In order to get 100% in Deadlight, you must complete all Acts at 100%. There are only 3 of them. You must find all all 3 handhelds, all 10 diary pages, and all 60 secrets (which are also what the IDs count as). The achievement will unlock after beating the game if you got them all up to that point. If not, you can revisit scenes in chapter select.

If you missed anything, there is always scene selection. Just remember that for collectibles, you must complete the scene before quitting out in order for it to count.

every collectible you pick up is automatically saved. watch the lower right corner of your screen and you can see it happening.

Incorrect. I had to go back for a collectible in the tunnels level. After collecting it, I quit out of the game and it was not saved. I had to go back and advance to the next checkpoint in order for it to save.

Strange. I was missing collectibles on about 4 different stages and each time I quit out as soon as I got the collectible and they saved. What's going on here? :o

 

Nice guide, I definitely prefer this one although I've got my 400 already.

Yeah it saved for me when I went back for my missing collectibles.

Loaded up a section, grabbed collectible, saw it save on screen, pressed back button and noted I had all for that level, pause, quit game

Worked everytime for me and worked for two of my friends doing the same thing.

 

Not sure why some of you are finding this different :(

i had the not saving collectibles problem on a couple of secrets that i went for on clean up. I can remember specifically that it happened on 2-3 i think in the rat mans den where you have to slide down and jump all the spikes. There is only 1 collectible and i tried twice before i had to complete the scene for it to save.

I guess I'll have to test the collectibles. But an example is the health expander. I grabbed it and went to next checkpoint. I then scene selected to Act 2 where I was. It still showed me at 3 health bars. I went back and grabbed it again, then finished the scene. Back to Act 2 and it showed saving and that my "stats have been updated" and I had 4 health.

 

I've also missed a collectible and restarted the level and had to recollect the ones I had obtained already as the stats in game said I had 0 secrets. I don't know why mine is acting different.

very odd.

the secrets i went in for saved. i never tested it with health boosters or stamina boosters as i never missed those during my initial play through.

 

as you test it Tyger please take note of the saving symbol (the two cassette reels) in the lower right corner of your screen. mine saved everytime i grabbed a pickup item.

I just tried again on a different account to see what was up, and the collectible saved right away after picking it up. I guess it's just buggy or something.

Beat the high score in Sport Daisy

 

During Act II Chapter 10: Playoff, you will make your way through a stadium full of shadow. Once you make your way around to the right side of the stadium, you will notice a set of stairs leading into the bleachers above you. Jump up to the ledge and make your way up. When you reach the top, you will have to make your way up and to the left using ladders and catwalks(you will need at least one bullet to drop one of the ladders that is chained up). Follow the catwalks to the left, and you will find the handheld in a box.

 

How To Play:

This is a very simply copy-cat game. Each of the shoulder buttons represents a limb(:lbbut: is for the left hand, :rbbut: is for the right hand, :ltbut: is for the left foot, and:rtbut: is for the right foot). To begin the game, press :abut:. The on-screen instructor will move one or multiple limbs. When she does this, simply press the corresponding shoulder buttons to mimic the instructor. Your score should be over 30 in less than a minute.

Beat the high score in Madness Mansion

 

During Act III Chapter 2: Fallen, you will encounter a collapsing building at the end of the chapter that you must run through. You will then begin sliding down an incline. Jump from the incline to the ladder, then drop to the tiny crawlspace below. Inside this crawlspace is the handheld.

 

How To Play:

This game can be a little tricky but is still very easy. You will play a ghost buster type guy with a flashlight. Simply use the :ls: to maneuver the little guy around the screen(use the stairs in the middle of the top and bottom screens to get from one to the other) and zap the ghosts with your flashlight using :abut: before they can light the 4 candles(2 on the top and 2 on the bottom). You will have over 30 points in less than a minute if you don't miss any of the ghosts.

For me this didn't work but instead of playing through to the next chapter i found if i killed myself after i picked up the collectible, then exited, it was saved.
