This Week In Ch33v0z, The Fallout Star Wars Fable Edtion (PT 1)

Ch33v0z, ch33v0z, ch33v0z! It's time for more cheevoz! That's right, this week has been a killer for me and my game schedule. Fable II, Dead Space, Star Wars: TFU, and Fallout 3! I'm buried under a ton of games, with Gears 2, COD5, and many others on the near horizon. This week was an avalanche of cheevos, so I opted to make a special Fable II cheevo post, click here to enjoy it's cheeviness.




Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Insurrection-Complete Level - TIE Factory, act 1-10G





Skilled-Earn 250,000 Force Points on a single level-5G





Invasion-Complete Level - Prologue-10G





Sith Lord Frenzy-Get a Frenzy x12 bonus-15G





Gripped-Defeat 100 enemies with Force Grip-5G





Bossk-Defeat 200 Wookiees on Kashyyyk Prologue-15G





Sith Frenzy-Get a Frenzy x8 bonus-10G





Frenzy-Get a Frenzy x4 bonus-5G





Worst Day-Shift Manager Ever-Kill 12 Stormtroopers as Vader during the Prologue-10G




Star Wars... who couldn't like that? This is the first time you can use your force powers in a way that makes you feel like a badass (and no, not like this guy). This is a pretty fun game with a really great Star Wars story. I'm digging it so far.

Worst Day-Shift Manager is one pesky secret cheevoz. Just kill 12 stormtroopers in the very first part of the game, when you play as Vader. It's easy, because they are everywhere.

Bossk is another one that's done in the prologue. It's easy, but it takes about 10 minutes. You'll arrive at a section with 3 bridges, forming a triangle. The wookies will endlessly spawn here. Just kill them as they fly towards you, you can also unlock other cheevoz by using specific force powers... for instance the Gripped cheevo.

Fallout 3

Escape!-Completed "Escape!"-20G





The G.O.A.T. Whisperer-Took the G.O.A.T.-10G





Vault 101 Citizenship Award-Got the Pip-Boy 3000-10G





A new game! Fallout 3! I'm getting deeper and deeper into the world of RPG games. This one is bigger and more violent than Fable, and so far I'm enjoying it. I would also add that I'm playing an evil bastard in this game, and I'm really liking that. Rob, steal, kill... my new motto.

So far all the cheevz I've unlocked are related to the story. In fact, most cheevoz are story related. Basically you'll unlock one for each of the larger story quests.


Fable II

Oh, right... there were WAY too many to post on this one! Check out the special Fable II post, here!

So that's it for this week! Look for more Fallout 3 cheevz, some progress on Star Wars, hopefully those last couple in Fable II and maybe a new game! Don't forget, Gears of War 2 in just 7 days! w00t!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Special Extended Fable 2 Edition

It's all about Fable II these days. So many cheevos were unlocked this week! I actually created a separate Week In Cheevz recap just for my Fable cheevos! Make to check out the regular week in ch33v0z on the normal post, here.



The ch33v0z for Fable 2 are interesting, in that many can be attained for two players at a time. That means that theoretically, you can just piggy back on someone else's cheevo! Interesting idea, does it work? Meh... kinda. The cheevo descriptions also change once unlocked, which is kind of cool. I would like to thank Mike53414 for the hook up on some sweet ass cheevz.


Fable II

The Duellist-You, or a friend, have mastered the chain attack. Lightning-quick strikes are almost unstoppable-10G




The Dollcatcher-You, or a friend, collected all the Hero dolls. Shame you can't auction them off now-10G




The Gargoyle-You uncovered the gargoyles' treasure. The cheeky rocks have mocked you for the last time-25G




The Ruler of Albion-There is no richer Hero in the whole of Albion!-100G





The Party Animal-You, or a friend, spread the joy (and pain) of intoxication to five people in under three minutes-10G




The Celebrity-You, or a friend, are the most famous person in Albion. Heroes deserve to be celebrities!-50G




The Cliff Diver-You, or a friend, plunged an incredible 500 feet off a cliff. Heights hold no fears for Heroes-5G




The Sacrifice-The Needs of the Many' has sacrificed loved ones so that many more will live-25G




The Egomaniac-The Needs of the One' has condemned thousands to death for nothing but gold-25G




The Family-The Needs of The Few' has condemned thousands to death so that loved ones might live-25G




The Hero of Skill-You were there when the Hero of Skill was recruited-100G





The Black Knight-You have turned hollow man-killing into an artform. Turns out it wasn't a flesh wound-10G




The Paragon-You, or a friend, have taken morality to its utmost extreme. Neutral Heroes are so boring-15G




The Hero of Will-You were there when the Hero of Will was recruited-100G






The Extremist-You, or a friend, have taken purity or corruption to its utmost extreme-15G




The Illustrated Hero-Tattoos are forever. Just like this achievement-5G





The Menace To Society-You, or a friend, committed an act of public indecency. Oh, the shame of it-5G




The Artisan-You, or a friend, showed what it takes to be a model employee-10G





The Goth-Everybody knows black is the coolest colour-5G





The Muse-The whole of Albion has heard the songs you've commissioned about yourself. Show-off-5G




The Bigamist-Marriage is so great, one might as well do it twice!-10G





The Romantic-You, or a friend, organised the perfect date. Let's hope it was worth the trouble-10G




The Swinger-You went to bed with more than one person and... Well, why do you think we blacked out the screen?-5G




The Teaser-Bandits deserve having their minds messed with, and it's also jolly good fun!-5G




The Sharpshooter-You, or a friend, hit three targets with one shot. Reaver himself would be envious-10G




The Hunter-So, proud of yourself? Big brave hunter killed an innocent rabbit? How do you sleep at night?-5G




The Archmage-Five human enemies were killed with one magnificent spell-10G




Ok, so it's a bunch of cheevos. There are a couple of spoilers in there, so I'll leave them to last. This is one of the best games I've played in a long time, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. That being said, here is how I hooked up some of the more elusive cheevz.

The Dollcatcher is one of the more difficult cheevoz. It requires you to collect 6 different dolls to unlock it. The catch is that each gamertag can only unlock one of the dolls, requiring you to trade with other people via XBOX live. Tricky, since you have to put your trust in some people. Buy, borrow, or trade your way to this cheevo. You can win your own doll by getting a score of 150 at the shooting range in Westcliff.

The Hunter is stupid and I don't understand why they put it in the game. Basically, you just have to kill a rabbit. Not hard. However, they don't explain that you have to turn the "safety" off in your game. To disable the safeguard, push down on the d-pad and blast that little hopping bastard.

The Black Knight is a reference to a Monty Python movie. You'll find yourself a hollowman, shoot his hands off and then pop him in the head. Just make sure you have your "skill level" high enough to enable the precision shooting, otherwise you can't even attempt this one.

*SPOILER SECTION*

The Sacrifice, The Family, and The Egomaniac can all be scored at once... kind of. These cheevos deal directly with the end of the story. You'll be given three choices, each has it's own cheevo. Just quit to the dashboard after the cheevo unlocks, and reload the section. Bring a friend along for the ride and double up on the fun!

The Cliff Diver can only be achieved in one place(that I know of). This will be done on the pirate/treasure quest that you can get in the bar in Bloodstone. Just follow the bread crumb trail.


So that's Fable cheevoz for this week. I only have 4 left, and unfortunately they may stay that way. Currently Fable 2 is under some scrutiny by the community for requiring you buy the Fable Pub Games to unlock one of the cheevos. I'm not going to spend $10 on a game I'll never play for a measly 50 points. Drama aside, the real reason I won't be getting to them is because I'm buried under content. Dead Space, Star Wars, and Fallout 3 are currently filling my plate, so time for games is getting slim. Not only that, but next week is the release of the much anticipated Gears of War 2!

Too many games, not enough time. Check the regular post for my weekly cheev haul! I've got two new games and a bunch of new cheevos!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Battlefield: Bad Geometry Wars

Cheevtastic isn't a word that's thrown around lightly... actually, it's not even a word, but I digress... This week was full of sweet cheevz, and something that I found surprising, a good game. That's right, in the middle of all this cheevo harvesting, it's easy to forget that some games are actually good. This brings me to my new game this week, Battlefield: Bad Company. I did manage to get in a couple of games of Geometry Wars 2, and that's about it. Get ready for your lesson in cheevz.



Geometry Wars 2

Phobia-Score 1,000 points in Waves without collecting any geoms-15G





Slalom-Chain together 5 gates in 5 seconds. Crossing at least one gate every second-15G




Geometry Wars 2, more modes than the last, twice as fun... and some great cheevoz. This week I managed to grab two sweet cheevz.

Slalom is done in Pacifism mode. The best way to get this one is to fly your ship around, avoiding enemies and gates, for about 20 seconds. When the gates start to pile up, try to hit a cluster and get 5 at once. Warning: avoid the yellow ends of the gates, they will kill you!

Phobia is actually pretty easy. This one is done in the Waves mode, and you just have to kill as many enemies as you can while avoiding the little geoms(the little yellow shapes that appear after destroying an enemy). Once you hit 1000 points, the cheev will unlock.

Battlefield: Bad Company

So Battlefield: Bad Company, what can I say? I played in the beta test, and I didn't like it. I thought it was boring and had some fundamental flaws. I chose to skip the purchase when it originally released. Luckily, with Gamefly, I'm able to give games a second chance. They have fixed some of the issues that I had originally, and of course it's still not perfect... but its' fun as hell. Get a group of friends together and form a squad, and fun will be had by all. The game doesn't take itself to seriously, and you get to kill people.

Most of the cheevos are pretty self explanatory. I have one HUGE problem with the ch33v0z in this game. Each level will reward you with a cheevo unlock, there is a cheevo for finishing the level on hard and also for normal. This is not uncommon in games, but what is uncommon is that the cheevos are not "stack-able". Which means you'll have to play the game once on hard and once on normal. NOT GOOD PROGRAMMING!

Be The Best is one that I'm proud of. In a ranked match, be the top player of the game... that's right, top score for both teams! No tips, just luck (or skill).

Catch The 'Bad' Moment is also very easy. Get into a multiplayer game, push up on the d-pad at anytime to get a screen shot. You'll see a message indicating that it's being uploaded. You'll have to wait a few seconds before it's ready to snap another shot. Do this 3 times to score the cheev.

With My Devil Dogs involves you inviting a friend to play a match. Once the round is completed, the cheevo will unlock.

One In a Million should be done in the last level. I'm sure there are other ways, but this seems the easiest. You can do it on easy difficulty if you want, I did it on Hard because I'm a bad ass. There is a chopper at the end of the mission, it will fly from point to point, stopping to shoot. Use your the laser designator at the end of the pier to paint the target. You should target the chopper while it's in motion, this should allow you a few seconds of time to get your bomb on target.

On Top of The World can be attained on the "Cash and Grab" level, A.K.A. "The Monastery Level". Get to the monastery, find your squad and after the cut-scene head up the stairs of the monastery. Here is a video.

Dog Owner is one of the more irritating cheevoz. Not because it's difficult, but because the knifing button layout and game mechanic are so screwed up. I'm not going to get into the issue I have, but if you've ever play COD4 you'll understand. Just knife five enemies to get their dog tags. Remember, it has to be 5 unique enemies (so no knifing your friends over and over!).

So that's about it for this week. I am still sitting on Kane and Lynch, and hopefully I can power through that this weekend. Look for some more Battlefield cheevoz. There is an open call for Kane and Lynch multiplayer cheevo boosting for the weekend, so if you have the game and are ready to get your cheev on, send the ol' ZN a message. Good luck, and let the cheevz be with you.
