Welcome to the Blood bath! Matt Hazard makes his XBLA debut in Blood bath and Beyond. This game is great for the side scroller lovers of yester-year like Contra and Metal Slug. Straight up run and gun at it's finest!

 

While this is a simple game, many of the achievements will not come naturally and you'll have to put in some effort for them. So let's get to the Road map!

 

Playthrough 1:

Have a go at this on 'wussy' difficulty. You need to unlock all of the maps by completing one playthrough in order to be able to use mission select which will be your best friend in getting most of the achievements. In this playthrough, just concentrate on getting all of the game boxes using THIS guide and finishing the game. This will give you 3 achievements for 65 gs.

 

Playthrough 2:

Now try and run though the game killing EVERYTHING very slowly to make sure you get all of the pachinko coins and getting your score up past 500k, which is a job in itself. Remember that using continues costs you 5k each so be careful and try not to die too often. Also, even though you have all game box pieces, pick them up any way for the extra points. The coin guide can be found HERE. Doing both of these things will get you another 2 achievements for 55 gs.

 

Mission select:

Now it's time to do all of the mission specific achievements you may have not got during your other playthroughs (if any). Refer to the achievements in the guide for any help you need. This will net you another 5 achievements for 60 gs. Be warned, some of these are REALLY hard and frustrating. They will take a lot of practice so be patient.

 

Co-op:

Yes, I know...No co-op over XBL. That does suck but this is still a fun game with a friend. All you need to do for your last achievement is complete the game on co-op. This can be done this with a second controller and killed the 2nd player off so it goes to the "steal a life" option and then just not touched it after that, so you're basically playing by yourself. It does work, but if you die and continue your partner will be back and I'm told you only have a limited number of playthroughs for this option. Either way, one more go through the story mode and you'll 100% complete this game.

 

Conclusion:

All in all, not a SUPER hard 200, but definitely requires some time to go through, by no means a quick game. The story can be done in about 1hr 30 mins or so but is worth it. Lots of things you loved about Eat Lead return in this game. It's a shame the voice acting is limited, but it's still great.

 

For any other questions on this game, check the forums or shoot me a PM. Thanks for looking and congrats on getting 100% on the blood bath!

 

ACHIEVEMENT GUIDE

Steal a life from a buddy, he doesn't need it.

 

Start a game in co-op mode with a second controller. Once you loose all of your lives you be given the option to steal a life from your partner by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png+http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/x.png. Do this and the achievement will unlock right away.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/fZ/aS/1YCLiGJhbC81FQUXXFJRFkM5L2FjaC8wL0EAAAAA5+fn+r2WZg==.jpg Stick That In Your Archive 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Complete the game in single player mode.

 

Complete all 8 missions on any difficulty and this will unlock. I'd recommend 'Wussy' difficulty if you are trying to get this as quick as possible. The missions are:

 

- The Hate Boat

- Booty Call

- Oh. Canada.

- Dismember the Alamo

- Well FU, Too

- Whose Mine is it Anyway?

- Zoom, Pow...

- ...to the Moon!

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/sm/8L/1YCLiGJhbC9CFQUXXFJRFkM5L2FjaC8wLzYAAAAA5+fn+iRvqQ==.jpg Master Collector 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Collect all the Matt Hazard Game Boxes throughout the game.

 

There are 3 game pieces you collect in each mission making up the box art work of each Matt Hazard game. Look for a small game cartridge and grab it. If you miss any you can use level select to go back to get them. Once you've found them, quit out after the save icon finishes and it will still count. For a complete guide, look here.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/IZ/fr/1ICLiGJhbC9DFQUXXFJRFkM5L2FjaC8wLzcAAAAA5+fn+8SXOg==.jpg My Buddy and Me 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Complete the game in Co-op mode.

 

Grab a Buddy and go through the game. Since there is no co-op over XBL, this needs to be done with 2 controllers. Your playthrough should be a lot easier with a team mate as well.

 

If you don't have someone else to play with you can do this with 2 controllers by yourself. Just kill of the 2nd player until the "steal a life" option comes up and then just put the controller down. The only way the other player will come back is if you hit the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png+http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/x.png combo or you lose all your lives and need to continue. So just run through the game and the achievement will unlock after the last pachinko game.

Complete half the game.

 

You'll get this after the 'Dismember the Alamo' mission on any difficulty.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/L4/PM/14CLiGJhbC9MFQUXXFJRFkM5L2FjaC8wLzgAAAAA5+fn+OODNA==.jpg Score! 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Reach 500,000 points.

 

This is a though one. My first playthrough I got just over 400k. Just remember to keep you combos up by killing multiple enemies and remember to use you hazard shield (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png Button) when there are a lot of baddies on the screen to save your health and keep your combo going.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/-o/2I/0oCLiGJhbC9GFQUXXFJRFkM5L2FjaC8wLzIAAAAA5+fn-aeN5Q==.jpg Come On Down! 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Collect all the pachinko coins in the game.

 

You get these by killing certain enemies or destroying objects. There are 10 in each level to find. Go through the game as slow as possible and don't leave an area without killing ALL of the enemies. Most are in plain sight but there are a few that can be missed easily. Some people have said they get 11 in level one. If this is the case for you just follow the guide and the achievement will pop when you pick up number 9 in level 8. Click here for a complete guide.

Take no damage to the Landing Pod and land perfectly on the landing pad.

 

Another fairly tough achievement. You need to do this all in one run. If you go off of the screen for more then 10 seconds you'll end your life. Remember to not use too much gas (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png Button) at a time and just feather it as needed. Also watch out for the turrets on the ground as getting hit once will mess up your run as well. Obviously, wussy difficulty is recommend. Try to land dead centre of the circle on the landing pad and as level as possible. Your meters per second should be at zero when you land. This will definitely take a few tries.

Complete "Oh. Canada." in 12 minutes.

 

Just run through this mission as fast as you can. Without really trying, I was able to get to the last boss in just over 8 minutes. Once you get to the boss, just stand in front of him and throw all the grenades you have. Let the bot kill you, don't even try to dodge as every time you re-spawn you get 6 more grenades. And since you have infinite continues, this shouldn't be a problem.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/B2/Yq/14CLiGJhbC9BFQUXXFJRFkM5L2FjaC8wLzUAAAAA5+fn+AVmHA==.jpg Lights Out 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Defeat "Old Berney" without losing a life.

 

This one can be frustrating. Remember, if you die you need to start the whole level over again. Berney will throw an anchor on the deck of your ship. Attack it until he start shooting the missiles at you. Once the missiles are over your head shoot them to send them back at Berney. Repeat this until that lighthouse topples over. Also, watch out of the bad guys that come to you left and right each time Berney attacks. Remember to save your Hazard shield until you are almost dead. Wait for the last possible moment to use it.

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/vH/ss/1oCLiGJhbC9NFQUXXFJRFkM5L2FjaC8wLzkAAAAA5+fn+QN7pw==.jpg Smooth Sailing 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Complete "The Hate Boat" without using a continue.

 

The only real problem here is the boss. Try to make it through the level as fast as you can with as many lives as you can. More points equals more lives so KILL EVERYTHING! Use your grenades on the sub boss to make short work of him. Dodge his missiles that he shoots straight up crouching underneath the platforms. A few tries and you should have this. 'Wussy' difficulty recommended.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/yJ/+z/14CLiGJhbC82FQUXXFJRFkM5L2FjaC8wL0IAAAAA5+fn+Jyf0w==.jpg With Honor10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Melee 10 Samurai in "Well FU too"

 

Very easy, just get close to any of the Samurais and attack with the X button, you'll do an auto melee if you are close enough. Do this 10 times and the achievement will unlock.

For the collectibles you can go back to any level you didn't get them on get the 3 then quit and not finish the level and it will still count. I don't know if they are in the same place on every level or not but just smash all the boxes and kill everything. They are pretty easy to get. On the mario level there is one you have to work for it's inside a ? block and you have to break the bricks next to it in order to be able to jump in there. It'll make sense when you see it.

Thanks man! Added that bit to the guide. Still trying to find a few of them myself.

I wish I could figure out the deal with the coins. Most I have gotten on a level is 10 but I know on one level I got less. I wonder if I just replay that level and get 10 if it would count? I don't even know if 10 is the max though. Also, I wonder if that stupid space level can be done on the bonus stage? Although the bonus stage is much harder than the level.

Agreed. I know I have had a few levels with 10 or 9, but there is no counter anywhere to find out how many there should be. Very irritating.

 

I'm not sure about the bonus stage, I haven't even tried it yet.

 

NOOOOOOOO! You beat me to the guide! lol :p I was planning to write one once I got home from work, but this is damn good man! Keep it up! ;)

 

LOL! Sorry mate. You are still more than welcome to make your own guide if you want...OR you can contribute to this one. I always give credit to people who try and improve my guides.

 

Cheers! Any input is welcome, good or bad - just be constructive.

Oh, absolutely! I was just clowning around, it's all good. I enjoy seeing a well put together guide. I also plan to contribute in any way I can, once I actually play the game for longer than 10 minutes of course, lol. :p

Do you think that the Score! achievement can be achieved through 2 playthroughs, because I finished my first with 375,000 points...

 

I'm on my second playthough now. My first was just under 400k and I'm at 253k right now (2nd playthrough) and no achievement. Looks like it needs to be done in one go.

 

Edit - WOW! just finished my 2nd playthough and ended up with 469562 after shooting EVERYTHING! That is fuckin' tough!

I don't think its to hard, i Player First with à friend on His Box for Coop achievement. Then i finished it by myself looking for the Game boxes (all 3 will give you an extra continue on mid and max hazard) and finished the Game with 486.000~ points (every continue costs you -5.000points on min hazard)

Yeah, that achievement is going to be a tough one, unless of course it can be easily obtained when playing co-op.

 

I finished my first play through with under 400k, given that I used a shit ton of continues, even on the easiest difficulty, lol :p

I got the "Come on Down!" achievement, (came on looking for the last collectable on stage 4) trying to remember what stages have what.

 

I know one of the stages had 11 Coins, and another had 9 Coins for me when I got the achievement.

 

Also on Stage 4 Dismember the Alamo, there is an area where you climb up a set of Mario steps, in the background (barely visible behind the steps by flag pole) there is a guy you shoot that gives you a coin.

 

Also for getting 500k, same thing, I'd suggest playing it on Wussy, going through it very slowly killing and milking the spawns as much as possible and try not to die/continue since it takes away 5000 points. Also while playing the Pachinko aim for at least 5000 on each stage to cover any continues you used. I lucked out and got up to 495K and played the last Pachinko game that set me over 500k.

 

Edit: I am running through co-op and I'll keep a note of how many Coins I collect on each stage. Also since I had gotten the achievement, I am not 100% these are accurate, trying to go off of memory along with the 2nd play through.

 

Stage 1: 11 Coins

Stage 2: 9 Coins

Stage 3: 10 Coins

Stage 4: 9 Coins

Stage 5: 10 Coins

Stage 6: 10 Coins

Stage 7: 10 Coins

Stage 8: 10 Coins

 

Hmmm, it seems like there mainly are 10 coins per stage, but like I mentioned before when I got my achievement I had different amounts of coins... thanks ShortyTHEone for mentioning Stage 1 had 11 (was trying to remember which stage, thought I was crazy)

 

Well, here is at least a template of the coins per stage, if anyone comes across any higher numbers just mention what stage you got them on, or if anyone knows if it's completely random just mention it.

Your co-op scores are separate, not combined s it will still be tough to get. Plus you are splitting the kills and points between 2 people. I don;t think co-op adds more enemies either.

Just figured I'd let everyone know for lights out you only have to beat the boss without dying not the whole lvl. I found it easiest to die right before the boss fight but also before the fight with the 5-7 guys that show up that way your hazard bar is a little bit full. If for some reason they mess you up you can just jump in the hole to the left and die again. Here's how I beat him and I managed to not get hit at all. Avoid the claw then spam grenades at the claw and it should be dead after two tries. Always make sure to kill the guys as soon as they come out there's always two from the right then two from the left and usually the one on the left is kneeling down. For the next part just make sure to hit the missiles back at it and save your Y power up for when he starts to shoot the bombs at you. To avoid the bombs I ran right until the first bomb on the left comes down then ran back left. Also while you have the Y make sure to shoot the light house as with the extra damage from the power up it does a lot of damage and you're invincible so you don't need to worry about the bomb at least once. Good luck!

btw, does the Achievement "Housten we have a perfection" mean the Story Lvl or the minigame which is available after completed the game?

I just got that one. I did it on the story lvl which is much easier. An A landing means dead lvl and very slow to the ground. I got it almost dead center at 0m/s.

 

Here's the pic http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/bX/Vo/04CLiGJhbC9HFQUXXFJRFkM5L2FjaC8wLzMAAAAA5+fn-Ed1dg==.jpg
