Introduction:

Welcome fellow Executioners to the Killer is Dead Guide! You are Mondo Zappa, a newly hired assassin who works for a pair named Bryan and Vivienne who are contracted out by the government to kill criminals. The story only gets weirder from their and i am not sure how to explain it. Expect a good 20-30 hours before you complete this, as it involves a ton of grinding for money, AAA every mission, and multiple playthroughs on multiple difficulties.

 

Abbreviated Walkthrough:

I will break this up into 4 parts

 

1. Main story and sub missions and finding Scarlet

Initially you want to just play the game normally, not worrying about rank and just enjoying the story. It is best to also play the sub missions that will pop up as you progress through the story. It is recommended that you play on normal, difficulty achievements do not stack, so for the full 1000 3 full playthroughs are necessary. Adding in a 4th "easy" playthrough will just add unneeded time to your completion. The game is fairly easy even on normal so it should not be difficult. While playing the story it would be best to go visit the girls when they appear as they give valuble upgrades, see the Grinding money and getting hunnies part of the roadmap for more information.

 

2. Grinding money and getting hunnies

This is probably the most awkward part of the game as it involves staring at ladies in their underwear with them not noticing you are in order for you to sleep with them. As you stare you will slowly build up a meter on the left (and if you get caught the meter on the right will go down, and if it empties you will fail the mission and lose any gifts you have given) once the meter on the left hits 1000, you will be prompted to give her a gift. Make sure its something she likes, which can be checked by looking at the picture that pops up in gigalo mode. The picture will only pop up afdter you have recived a pair of gigalo glasses, which is a gift from scarlet. After you fill the heart meter on the bottom, you will then sleep with her.

 

It will benefit you immensely to do this early on in the game. As wooing each girl will unlock upgrades for your weapons in the form of new attachments like a drill for your mechanical arm. When you start to receive Moon Crystals from the beauties you know that you have exhausted all of the upgrades she gives and can ignore doing their "mission" until you are ready to grind giving and receiving gifts from them.

 

Gifts will cost money, and initially you will be able to unlock Passionate girl and Geisha Girl for Natalia and Koharu respectively. After you have completed the first 5 main missions, and the sub missions that pop up, you will have more then enough money from the mission rewards to get enough gifts. To unlock Gift Collector and Happiest man on earth you will need a little more cash. Its best to go for Cash enough for love before you go for these. Use the strategy in the achievement description for the best ways to earn money quickly.

 

While Scarlet is another women you need to sleep with for Lucky Girl she is a bit more involved then simply buying gifts. You need to complete the challenge missions (preferably getting AAA rank on them) and rack up 1000 points and another "challenge" will pop up and it will let you sleep with her, again you need to do this 3 times for the achievement to unlock.

 

Additionally their are costumes for some of the women in the game (including this in this part of the road-map solely because it involves women) getting a AAA rank on

 

A Damsel in Distress

Time Cursed

Weight limit

Gift of the Moon

 

Will unlock these, they are fairly pricey so by the time you have Cash enough for love you will be set in buying each one.

 

Combat challenges

 

These are unlocked by finding Scarlet in each of the main missions. User Quantum Binman has created this GUIDE for her locations. Finding all of her will unlock Scarlet Approved Stalker and the other achievements for finding her 6 and 12 times respectively. Clearing them (not AAAing them just clearing them) will unlock Gigalo Mastership and for clearing 6 and 12 missions respectively. It is best to do these after you have unlocked all of them by finding every scarlet, and after you have beaten the game and have gotten most if not all of the upgrades and either the Ulti-Mondo or the Dark booster costume.

 

For help in getting a AAA rank in each mission user Spain Hard Two Gamers has put together this POST of his youtube videos for each challenge mission. You will need to get a AAA rank on each of them to ultimately get The Mass Murderer is Dead

 

Everything Else

 

While the previous 3 sections covers most of the game this is for everything that does not fit.

 

After playing on normal, and grinding enough money to get all of the gifts you need, grind some more (assuming you need to) and purchase either the Ulti-mondo or the Dark Booster costumes (you will need to purchase Ulti-mondo for the Passport to Infinity achievement so it might be best to buy this first), i mention these a lot because they are that important. The Ulti-mondo costume doubles the damage of your Katana, and the Dark Booster costume gives you unlimited blood (which translates to unlimited use of your various weapons of your mechanic arm.) Using either will make your game so much easier on harder difficulties, as well as not affecting your rank so it makes getting AAA infinitely easier.

 

After you have picked your costume its time to jump into hard and very hard difficulties. Difficulties do not stack so another 2 full playthroughs are required. At some point during these two, you will fully upgrade your health and blood meters unlocking Ultimate Physical Beauty and Sexy Man Whose Blood is Dripping respectively. Also depending on how many executions you made in your normal playthrough, Left hand man and Right hand man will unlock as you earn and spend moon crystals to upgrade your weapons and purchase skills.

 

A few miscellaneous achievements are present, like getting 100 head shots Bryan-Approved Sniper, killing an enemy still in the air Feeling so High, performing dodge burst 100 times Float like a Gadfly, killing an enemy will burst rush Suck like a Leech,

Killing an enemy with another enemy's attack Have you got Clean Hands? and getting revived by your partner Mika 20 times Reliable Friends. See each of the achievement descriptions for more details.

 

Getting AAA rank on each mission is also a huge part, i have no advice for this except to look up YouTube videos for the specific mission you are having trouble with. Things like number of deaths, how fast you complete a mission and completing the bonus objectives all affect your overall rank. When you are playing on normal, you will most likely get a decent amount of AAA ranks. At the end of both your hard and very hard playthroughs you may end up with a few more. Drop down to easy and mop up and missions you dont have a AAA rank in. You will need to AAA rank the challenge and sub missions. Again I will reiterate, use either ulti-mondo or dark booster they will make your life much easier.

 

Mop-Up:

At the end of it all, the last achievements you may need will be related to AAAing every mission. Turn down the difficulty to easy, equip ulti-mondo or dark booster, boot up a YouTube video for the level and go to town.

 

Conclusion:

 

This is a fun, yet fairly short (story wise) game. If you have a free weekend and want something a little different and a little far out, i highly recommend this game. It offers a challenge to those who seek a full completion and it offers a good chunk of achievements for those who dont.

Achievement Guide:

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/+noTvg==.jpg Bryan-Approved Sniper 15:gsicon:

Killed 100 enemies using head shots.

Self explanatory, kill things with headshots. This should come over the course of the game.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/+FsaCw==.jpg Brilliant Shoulder Throw 15:gsicon:

Used "Just Guard" 100 times.

 

Right before an enemy hits you with an attack press B and you will dodge the attack and make a counter attack. This should come over the course of the game.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-mTadU=.jpg Float Like a Gadfly 15:gsicon:

Used "Dodge Burst" 100 times.

 

A dodge burst is performed when you are being attacked by an enemy right before the attack you move the left stick so you are starting to move out of the way from the attack and then press b.the in game tutorial explains it a bit better.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-hzkUY=.jpg Suck Like a Leech 15:gsicon:

Killed an enemy using the "Burst Rush."

A dodge burst is performed when you are being attacked by an enemy and right before the attack you move the left stick so you are starting to move out of the way from the attack and then press b, the in game tutorial explains it a bit better. After you perform the dodge, you will be prompted to press X and you will rush towards the enemy and attack it for a decent amount of time, kill an enemy to unlock this achievement. It is best to do this on one of the weaker wire creatures, but if you are upgraded enough and have a costume that upgrades damage, its possible to do this on one of the stronger creatures as well.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-pSmPM=.jpg Feeling So High 15:gsicon:

Sliced an enemy upward and finished it in the air.

 

This requires the purchase of the upper slash skill, simply perform the combo to get the enemy into the air, and then either keep attacking, or use your gun to kill it while it is still floating.

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-uyYGA=.jpg Have You Got Clean Hands? 15:gsicon:

Killed an enemy with an enemy attack.

 

I got this achievement a bit unexpectedly, but from what i can gather you need to have an enemy kill another enemy, the best (and possibly easiest) way is to start up episode 4 and work your way through the level until you start encountering eyeball creatures that explode, weaken other enemies around the eyeball and then attack the eyeball until it explodes, while the weakened creature is in the blast radius.

 

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-4Qi5k=.jpg Sexy Man Whose Blood is Dripping 15:gsicon:

Increased BLOOD to maximum upgrade level.

 

This will come over the course of playing through levels on each difficulty, it should unlock sometime during your Very hard playthrough. Blood is raised by collecting blood crystals that drop from enemies. Additional crystals can be bought from the store if needed.

 

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5--wcwo=.jpg Ultimate Physical Beauty 15:gsicon:

Increased HEALTH to maximum upgrade level.

This will come over the course of playing through levels on each difficulty, it should unlock sometime during your Very hard playthrough. Heath is increased from life crystals which drop from enemies, additional crystals can be bought from the store if needed.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-3Rer8=.jpg Cash Enough For Love 30:gsicon:

Have a total of $100 million in cash.

 

This means $100 million at one time. This will be a bit of a grind, but the best way to get money quickly is to play either the Very first mission(going for the bonus objective), or the side mission Weight Limit, on very hard with no costumes on. either mission is quick (for weight limit you need to learn how to use dodge burst and burst rush effectively) and will net you close to $1million each time. Make sure you do not use costumes, as using them cuts the amount you earn to around 100k.

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-wxgiw=.jpg Passport to Infinity 15:gsicon:

Changed costume to Ulti-Mondo.

 

Ulti-mondo is one of the costumes you can buy for mondo, it costs 10million$ and is only available once you complete the game on any difficulty.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-8WliI=.jpg Mondo's Girls Collection 30:gsicon:

Collected all female costumes.

To unlock the costumes you must get a AAA rank on each of the following missions

A damsel in distress

Time cursed

Weight limit

Gift of the moon

Make sure you pay attention to the optional objectives on each level. To make this easier, do this on easy and wait until you have completed the game at least once. You will need almost 90million$ to buy all of them.

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-72brE=.jpg Passionate Girl 30:gsicon:

Made Natalia your prisoner in body and soul.

 

This involves playing the gigalo mini game, which involves glancing at women in their underwear, while trying to avoid her noticing. During which you will be prompted to give her a gift, which will increase her affection, to do this quickly give gifts that the specific girl likes to raise the meter faster. You will be given a pair of gigalo glasses from scarlet which will reveal what kind of gift is wants at that specific time. You need to do this 3 times.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-3ZMR0=.jpg Geisha Girl 30:gsicon:

Made Koharu your prisoner in body and soul.

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-4YwDs=.jpg Right-Hand Man 30:gsicon:

Increased all Attack and Special skills.

 

*see Left Hand Man

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-u6K8I=.jpg Left-Hand Man 30:gsicon:

Increased all sub-weapons to maximum upgrade level.

 

Upgrades are bought with moon crystals, which are obtained from executions, dropped by enemies, given to you from the beauties during the gigalo mini game, or bought from the gift shop. In total you will need a little over 9500 moon crystals to fully upgrade Mondo

These are Scarletts challenges, which are combat challenges. More will unlock as you continue to find her in the levels. Use the guide from the scarlett approved stalker achievement to help you find her, its recommended that you wait until you complete the game at least once, so you have upgrades to help with some of the more difficult ones.

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-4jsoU=.jpg The Criminal is Dead 15:gsicon:

Ranked AAA executioner on 12 missions.

*See The Mass Murderer is Dead

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-0Epos=.jpg The Maniac is Dead 30:gsicon:

Ranked AAA executioner on 24 missions.

 

*See The Mass Murderer is Dead

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-zkXhg=.jpg The Mass Murderer is Dead 100:gsicon:

Ranked AAA executioner on 44 missions.

This includes both the main missions and the side missions and the Scarlett challenge missions.Some missions will have optional objectives that must be completed in order for the AAA rank. For all missions, things like mission time, times died, etc all count toward AAA rank. Costumes like the ulti mondo will greatly help you as they incur no penality for being used (you will lose out on money however). It is recommended that you complete this on easy, as it gives you a lot more leeway when it comes to the optional objectives, and it will of course mean you will die less, and able to get through each mission quicker.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5--LAbQ=.jpg Happiest Man on Earth 30:gsicon:

Received 20 rewards from the beauties.

This involves playing the gigalo mini game involving Mondo and his lady friends. Pass the mini game by not getting caught looking at certain parts of her, and by presenting her with gifts she likes. At the end of it she will invite you back to her place for some fun. After completing the "mission" she will give you a gift, in the beginning the gifts are upgrades for your weapons, which come in the form of new attachments for your mechanical arm such as a drill. After you have exhausted all upgrades, you will only receive moon crystals from them.

 

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-3qCAE=.jpg Killer at the Gate of Dawn 15:gsicon:

Cleared all episodes on Normal Mode.

* See Darksider of the Moon

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-wK8JI=.jpg Obscured by the Moonlight 30:gsicon:

Cleared all episodes on Hard Mode.

 

* See Darksider of the Moon

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-moG2s=.jpg Darksider of the Moon 30:gsicon:

Cleared all episodes on Very Hard Mode.

 

Unfortunately difficulty achievements do not stack, so you will need to do 3 playthroughs.

 

For the harder difficulties its recommended that you wait until you can buy either the Ulti-Mondo or the Dark Booster costumes, which makes Mondo deal more damage with his sword, and his gun respectively. Using costumes do not affect rank, but will drastically reduce the amount of money received for completing a mission.

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-hI4-g=.jpg Perfect Job 15:gsicon:

Cleared all missions.

This involves clearing both the main missions and all of the side missions. Difficultly as well as your ranking does not matter, it's just a matter of finishing them.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-pp6k0=.jpg Reliable Friends 15:gsicon:

Got revived by Mika 20 times.

Getting Revived by your partner Mika requires Mika tickets, which can be bought from the store. it is almost assured that this will come naturally over the course of your normal playthrough, let alone a hard and very hard playthrough.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2298/5-0OoD4=.jpg Gift Collector 15:gsicon:

Gave a present 50 times or more.

This involves playing the gigalo minigame involving Mondo and his lady friends. During your intial meeting while trying to get a quick glance at her underwear, you will be prompted to present a gift, any gift will do. Do this 50 times.

As for when you will get this is dependent on how you play the mini games, if you go for gifts that each specific girl likes, then you will have to do some grinding after you make each one fall in love with you. On the flip side, if you just give her any gifts you can, this can be done fairly quickly as non-specific gifts only increases her affection slightly. But that also means you will not make her fall in love with you as fast. Either way you approach this, it will take a significant amount of money in order to buy the gifts, use the methods from Cash enough for love to help with getting money quickly.
