Introduction

LocoCycle is an action game by Twisted Pixel where you play as a motorcycle who is dragging her mechanic behind her. IRIS (the motorcycle) wants to go to the Freedom Rally, but Big Arms, the company that payed to manufacture her is trying to get her back or destroy her.

 

Upgrade Note

I would upgrade in this order:

  1. Melee
  2. Turbo
  3. Health
  4. Weapons

Don't be afraid to use all your points after every level, doing so will allow you to do better in later levels, which will allow you to earn more points per level.

 

The reason I recommend upgrading in this order is because you will be able to fully upgrade your melee ability before reaching level 5-2 and will be able to get "Champion Streaker" without having to replay the level and not having your weapons upgraded doesn't seem to affect your ranking.

 

Step 1 Story

Just play through all the levels. You don't have to worry about getting A Ranks on the levels. It is not required for any of the achievements and I'm not sure that it is even possible on a few of them until IRIS is upgraded. However, the better you do the more points you will have for upgrades and extras and the less replay you will have to do. This will get you most of the achievements in the game.

 

Step 2 Garage

Now from the main menu go to the garage. You should have enough points to purchase everything here so do that now. This will get you "Big Movie Watchings", "All Game Secrets Revealed", and "Behind the Scenes Bonus DVD". If you don't have enough points to purchase everything go back to a level you did poorly on the first time through and with IRIS fully upgraded you should be able to do much better. The reason you want to replay a level you did poorly in is because of the way points work. When you replay a level you get the points you earned minus the points you earned previously so if you play a level you did well on you will get very little out of it.

 

Step 3 Mop-Up

Finish off any of the random achievements you have left. Most of these can be done on level 1-1. "Pablo Thanks You"can be easily done on level 1-3. "Champion Streaker"will need to be done on level 5-2.

 

Conclusion

LocoCycle is an interesting and decently fun game. You will have another 1000 before you know it!

New Enemies:

 

  • Black Sedans - The easiest way to take these out is to shoot them with :bbut:.

Boss Fight:

 

  • Avoid his wheel attack and keep shooting him with :bbut: until his health bar is depleted. You will then be able to counter his wheel attack and then melee him with :xbut: and :ybut:.
  • This brings you into a quick time event.
  • After the quick time event melee him again.
  • Then you have another quick time event.
  • Then you will have to melee him with Pablo.
  • Next he will start dropping mines and doing wheel attacks. Avoid these while shooting him and when you deplete his health you will be able to counter his wheel attack. There is no health bar this time, but you will know when to counter because he will stop dropping mines and the reticule will appear over the wheel.
  • Melee him one more time and you will have defeated him and earned this achievement.

Quick Time Event VS Truck:

At the end of Level 2-2 Iris will break down as a large truck is barreling down towards them and Pablo will have to fix her before the truck reaches them. The following can be done in any order, except for the fifth one which will always be last.

 

  • Push :ls: to the right and press :abut:. In this part you will press :rtbut: to activate the torch and use :ls: to follow three patterns that will show up on the screen.
  • Push the :ls: forward and press :abut:. Pablo will need to pound out a section of IRIS with a hammer. There will be a little bar with a vertical line going back and forth when it is in the center press :abut:. Keep doing this until the section is pounded flat.
  • Push :ls: to the right and press :abut:. Press :abut: to have Pablo grab the wires then use :ls: for the left wire and :rs: for the right wire and start to bring them together.

  • Push :ls: to the left and press :abut:. Spin the :ls: to screw the first two screws in then spin :ls: and :rs: together for the third screw.
  • After you have fixed all of IRIS' problems keep pressing :abut: to have Pablo kick start IRIS.

Any that you miss will then crash into IRIS doing damage.
  • Big Science Balls - Avoid them with turbo and by moving left and right while they roll around you in patterns and then melee them with :xbut: and :ybut: to defeat them.
  • Armored Trucks - These will pull in front of you the back will open and there will be a large Agent in that back. He will throw out shorter agents with bombs strapped to them that will stick to IRIS. You must use your turbo to catch up to the trucks and attach them to the truck. Once you get three attached the doors will close and the van will explode. In later levels you will have to attach two sets before the truck will explode.

Boss Fight:

As the Achievement says in this fight you are up against a helicopter with an unusual pilot. This boss has several phases:

 

  1. The boss will fire a missile at the traffic. Avoid the flaming cars that come at you. When the last car comes at you line up with it and you will be able to perform a counter on it to hit the helicopter. You will have to successfully hit the boss three times before you move on to phase 2.
  2. The boss is following you and shooting at you and enemies on motorcycles come to attack you. Use :xbut: and :ybut: to defeat them while avoiding the bosses attacks and knock a driver onto the helicopters windshield. One will stick to the windshield per group of enemies. You will have to get four stuck to the windshield before this phase ends.
  3. In this phase the Boss will try to physically attack you, when it does counter it. You will have to successfully counter three times.
  4. Attack the boss with :xbut: and :ybut:.
  5. The boss will drop mines, avoid these. After each section of mines the boss will drop a large bomb. Pick this up with :abut: and throw it back at him with :abut:. You will have to do this three times.
  6. Now the boss will try to physically attack you again. Counter him four times.
  7. Attack the boss with :xbut: and :ybut:.
  8. The boss will fire a missile at the traffic. Avoid the flaming cars that come at you. When the last car comes at you line up with it and you will be able to perform a counter on it to hit the helicopter. You will have to successfully hit the boss three times before you move on to the next phase.
  9. The boss will try to physically attack you again, just counter whenever he does.
  10. Attack the boss with :xbut: and :ybut:.

New Enemies:

  • Level 2 Boss - Enemies that look like the boss of level two will start showing up in Level 4-1. They will shoot at you and then throw their bladed shield at you. Avoid their shots, use :abut: to counter the shield back at them then use turbo to catch up to them and melee them with :xbut: and :ybut: to defeat them.

Boss Fight:

For this fight you are controlling Pablo instead of IRIS. You will use :ls: to aim and :bbut: to fire. This fight is just one long shoot fest. Red Reticules will appear over different areas of the boss. Shoot within these areas when they appear. Occasionally the boss will fire missiles These will also be marked with red reticules. Take these out when you see them. Enemies on motorcycles will show up a couple times take these out when you can, but prioritize firing on the boss.

Boss Fight:

Once again your fighting your old buddy Spike. This fight is a Street Fighteresque battle, including controls. I'm not actually sure it is possible to lose this battle, because whenever Spike knocks IRIS down Pablo gives her a pep talk and gives her energy bar back.

 

Here is a video showing this battle:

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2842/01.jpgStreaky Goodness 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

String together a monster combo streak.

 

You must reach a combo streak of 250. You will first be able to earn this around level 4-2. Just make sure to keep attacking the enemies and countering or throwing Pablo if you have the upgrade that causes a Pablo attack to interrupt an enemies attack to avoid an enemy attack breaking your combo streak.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2842/01.jpgWhy So Hostile? 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get a bunch of innocents off the road and out of the way.

 

Once you've upgraded IRIS' weapons to the point where she shoots missiles as well as the normal ammo just keep shooting at oncoming traffic and you will have this before long.

 

Alternate method by Cilisien:

In Level 4-2 you can get this during the part where you have to control the truck. Just keep ramming into oncoming traffic.

 

Here is a video showing method one:

Find that guns aren’t the only way to wreck a car.

 

You must beat a car to death with X or Y. If you shoot or ram them at all it will not count for the achievement. This is easily done on level 1-1 once IRIS is fully upgraded.

Keep the guns going while a man attacks you from above.

 

You must destroy one of the cars with the guy that jumps on IRIS before the guy jumps off the car. This is easily done on Level 1-1 after IRIS is fully upgraded. Just keep your fire focused on the Leaper Agent's car as soon as it appears on screen.

Waste no time ‘sploding the black gold hauler.

 

This is the hardest achievement in the game. You must destroy the three tankers in Level 1-1 in under one minute. You will need to have IRIS' weapons and turbo fully upgraded. You need to keep turbo on except when it is recharging and avoid the hitting the cars protecting the tankers. Attacking them will just slow you down.

You must beat a level without taking any damage. This is easily done on Level 1-3 after IRIS is fully upgraded.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2842/01.jpgAll Tricked Out 40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Turn I.R.I.S. into the ultimate weapon of destruction.

 

After each level you can spend the points on upgrades for IRIS. You will get this achievement once IRIS is fully upgraded. You should get this when you upgrade after level 5-2.

 

I would recommend upgrading in this order:

 

  1. Melee
  2. Turbo
  3. Health
  4. Weapons

Don't be afraid to use all your points after every level, doing so will allow you to do better in later levels, which will allow you to earn more points per level.

Purchase all upgrades for IRIS and everything in the Garage.

 

You should have plenty of points after one playthrough to purchase everything. If you don't have enough points go back and play levels that you did poorly on and with IRIS upgraded you should be able to do a lot better and earn more points. The way the points for replaying levels work is that you get the points you earned minus the points you earned for previous playthroughs so you have to do better than the first time to get any more points out of a level.

Yes, it has a lot of quick time events, but you can fail them and still move on. It will just give you an F for that sequence in the post level scoring.

I bought it last night. Really enjoying it so far. But the fucker takes so LONG to download. I had a problem on the part where you are stuck in the road and you have to do 4 quick time events. I couldn't get the last one to pop up. Seems you have to lean all the way to the front. Other wise I can handle these types of QTE. Thanks for all you input. Another 1000k here I come!

Thanks for the guide! Working my way through this now, was going to complete lego marvel first but I think this will be a quick enough filler game to 1k :D

 

Edit: I just unlocked the "Why so Hostile?" achievement on mission 4-2 where you have to control the truck and can just smash into any of the oncoming cars, just another option if anyones having trouble

Dude I had nowhere near the points left to buy all the stuff in the stores on my first playtru. Now I'm replaying levels and what's sucks is you only get credit for when you do better than the last time. Say you earned 80k first run and 90k second time you only get 10k!!? Really regretting buying this now. Did I miss something???

Decent guide, could use a little more detail however. Also I just 100%'d it in 6 1/2 hours. I know estimated times are always on the high side but I think 10 may be excessively high.

Replay a level you died on with a fully upgraded character. Replayed 3-1 (which I died multiple times) and got 29,000 credits. You'll still need about 50k total at the end of the game but if you die, your total score gets lowered tremendously. It also appears that the credits earned are however many you improved your previous score by. Say you got 80,000 your first run and 90,000 on the next you'll get 10,000 credits.

Sorry about that. I forgot about those two events.

I'm not sure why there would be such a big discrepancy in our experiences here. But, the only thing I can tell you is to replay a level you did poorly on with IRIS fully upgraded. This will get you the most points for your time.

Thank you for your feedback. I will take it under advisement.

I'm not sure why there would be such a big discrepancy in our experiences here. But, the only thing I can tell you is to replay a level you did poorly on with IRIS fully upgraded. This will get you the most points for your time.

 

Thank you for your feedback. I will take it under advisement.

 

I completed it this weekend. For some reason I finished the game, bought all upgrades and still needed money to buy all the film stuff and most of the game unlocks. Replayed about 6 levels and had enough to complete everything. I really ended up hating this game when I was done. Easy completion, fun for a few levels, but overall very disappointed. Thanks for the guide. Everything was spot on. I really hate the way on the replay levels you only get a pay out greater than what you did on the previous replay. The cut scenes were IMO so fucking boring and stupid. I think the reviews of this game were honest. If you are a Gamerscore whore this is the game for you on the one. Otherwise save your 20 bucks and pick it up when it is one sale.

Great guide... This game is very straight forward. I just got 1k on it.

 

For Big Oil Never Had a Chance, the key is to carefullly aim the rockets that come out of your car when fully upgraded. Those do huge damage and will take out stuff much quicker than your guns can (but obviously use your guns and boosts also).

 

and 5-2 is the best to get the 1k combo... I mucked up the first time and stopped at 850 combo. I replayed the level and got 1895 so it's not very difficult. The way I melee is by bashing X as normal, then throw in odd Y attacks which send pablo spinning around to hit the other enemies. What this pablo throw does apart from increasing your combo is he stops a lot of guys coming up with the orange target, saving you from losing your combo. I also hit A every now and again in case there's a guy that needs to be countered off the screen. Not only will A counter, but it also jumps from one guy to another, so it gives you a hit if there's nothing to counter.

 

Fun (and strange) game... I think it's worth the money, but yeah.. don't expect an AA title. It's a couple of hours long, is kinda fun, and isn't difficult... Plus the story is a bit crazy (with horrible acting).

Thanks for doing a great job on the guide. Just wanted to add that getting no damage on 1-3 can be helped by just spamming A when you need to counter Spike's missiles back. You'll always be successful this way when you need to counter.

 

I think the difficulty and time you listed are accurate. I enjoyed this game. The sense of humor it has will either hit you just right or fall very flat. Not a AAA game by any means but I think it's worth $20 and a lazy afternoon or two.
