I'm not sure why you'd be browsing FAQ's if you don't want spoilers, but I thought it fair to warn you in case you're like the people costing me Karma on the message board who enter topics that are clearly going to contain spoilers and then flagging every post in the thread for a TOS violation because they're too ignorant to deduce the contents of a thread based on it's title. =p So, here it is: WHOLE FAQ SPOILER WARNING, DANGER! Where will this walkthrough Get you? -- If you follow this walkthrough to the letter, you will save 53 of the 54 survivors, which is the most survivors possible. You can NEVER EVER save all 54. This was by far the most challenging of the achievements for this game. This walkthrough is not a basic newbie walkthrough. I am assuming you have at least some basic knowledge of the game, how to play, and the plot. This walkthrough is very very difficult in places. The behavior of the survivors while they're following you is going to make you want to break your TV and send your 360 sailing off a roof. This FAQ, if followed, will allow you to unlock several achievements which will be listed below. I realize there are probably dozens of ways to do all of this. This is simply the way I did it. Please do not email me suggesting alternate orders, because there would be so many optional routes the FAQ would no longer make any sense. Why Ending B? -- The reason for this, is that I was not sure how many you could save in one run, so I decided to save them all. I knew already that ending A kills Ed, Brad, and Jessie at the very least. 53 is the absolute maximum. Either Barnaby or Simone *MUST* die or be lost. You basically trade Barnaby for Simone if you want the Transmissionary achievement. With the knowledge that you can save 53 max, it seems logical to me that it could be possible to get Saint *and* ending A without much more difficulty than the rest of this FAQ causes you. I did not try this, and I likely will not try this any time soon because I'm not sure EXACTLY who counts as dead and when they count as dead. Should you decide to try for the A ending you will have to save almost everyone who can be saved. I have received many emails stating that you can get the Saint achievement as well as Ending A in the same playthrough. You must save all but two mall survivors, then finish Overtime mode. So basically Barnaby dies and you can miss one other. For any additions, corrections, or comments... email me at GeistCH@comcast.net [1.1] - Possible Achievements - The list of Acheivements attainable by following this walkthrough to the letter are: Saint Humanist Life Saver Transmissionary Psycho Photo Psycho Collector Peace Keeper Punisher Tour Guide Portraiture Census Taker There are plenty of others you could get during the course of the walkthrough, but they will not neccessarily be detailed. ==================== [2.0] - Survival Tips - The advice contained herein is purely subjective. None of the stuff in this section is hard fact, it is merely the way I prefer to do things. Some people might like things one way or another. These are just to help you out if you're having trouble with your survivors. [2.1] - Frank's Weapons - Frank has many many weapons at his disposal, and unfortunately most of them are just as lethal to your friends as your enemies. When escorting surivors you do not want to be using "Skull Crusher" weapons. These are weapons that score one-hit kills on zombies by popping their heads with a meaty splash. very often one of your idiot survivors will stick their head in the way of a bowling ball, sledge hammer, barbell, or dumbell. I'm sure there are more, but those are the weapons I crushed survivor skulls with myself. One head shot from one of these weapons will KILL a survivor outright. Weapons with a wide path of destruction are also very dangerous for your survivors. If you are NOT very good at keeping zombies away from your people you should stick to weapons that only hit one target. I suggest the lead pipe, as it only hits one of anything at any given time. Using any weapon that cuts a swath of enemies at a time such as the small chainsaws, swords, or machette, will cause massive collateral damage to your survivors if you are not extremely careful. I *HIGHLY* suggest keeping at least one Queen on you at all times. If by some chance (and to save Pamela) a survivor gets caught in a swarm of zombies you need a way to clear the zombies without hacking your survivor to bits, and the queen is really the only way. This walkthrough is very tight on time in some places. You do not have time to hit the Security Room after every survivor you pick up and you'll need them to stay alive a long time in some cases and neither will you have time to stop for food a lot. If you are good at using waypoints and keeping a path clear for your people it is obviously okay to use whatever weapons you prefer. I would suggest keeping a lead pipe and queen on you at all times for emergencies regardless. [2.2] - Arming your Survivors - Many of the survivors you escort can carry weapons. What you want them to wield is entirely up to you and your style. If as above you're good at using waypoints and clearing a path, I find the survivors are much better with guns. Some people on the boards say they far prefer their people to carry hunting knives or other melee weapons. In my opinion, your survivors are going to do a LOT more damage carrying shotguns and sMG's than they will with knives and pipes. You have to learn to stay out of their way, but when you use waypoints your survivors will defend that point much more effectively with guns. [2.3] - Moving with your Survivors - Moving survivors is probably the single most frustrating thing I've ever done on the XBOX 360. They AI is horrible, and the "quirks" of some of the characters are infuriating. When a character gets stuck or does something idiotic like crawl on the ground or stop and cry for 10 minutes, hit them. I use the jump kick or a lead pipe. Being struck tends to cause the AI to rethink their path and actions and/or break out of their dumb behavior. Survivors tend to get stuck on the potted plant outside Cam's Photo, and sometimes they'll get stuck inside the warehouse. Other than that, obvious things like doors, staircases, and corners will sometimes cause them to hang up. In this guide I avoid Al Fresca Plaza at all costs when escorting anyone. The survivors tend to get stuck on all kinds of trees and furniture, and the place is packed hip to hip with zombies at all hours of the day. Waypoints > Follow Me I waypoint my people almost everywhere. When they're following you they tend to jitter around and jostle for position, rarely getting to a point where they'll defend themselves. When you set waypoints, your people will head to that point and then defend it. Their defense is very effective when they have shotguns or SMGs. Waypoints also allow you to save stragglers. Basically, you clear a path to a waypoint, set the waypoint, go back and kill any zombies that are between your survivors and the new waypoint... and repeat. Never waypoint too far away from yourself. Outside a certain distance zombies will respawn. If you walk too far from your survivors they will suddenly be drowning in zombies, and often there will be little chance to save them. Be especially careful with the slow or timid survivors. ==================== [3.0] - The Walkthrough - I could not think of a better way to organize this walkthrough than as a chronology of my movements through the mall. It's not going to look pretty, but the information is all there. So let's dive right in. -Transmissions from Otis will be marked [OTX]->. Something to remember about Otis's calls is that you can not be in the area he wants you to go to when it's time for him to make a call. IE: Don't wait around in the security room waiting for a case. Wait somewhere else or Otis won't call. -Survivors will be marked when you save them --->. -If you are going for any of the photography achievements, it is important that you photograph absolutely everyone you meet, Psychos and survivors alike. If you miss any psychopath photos, you will not get the Psycho Collector if you stop the plot when I say stop.

You can wait on the chopper pad the whole time, or run around doing other achievements or just killing zombies for kicks. When noon hits you should be on the helipad. If you followed this guide, and you're there at noon, you will have 53 survivors. Over the course of this FAQ you could miss 3 survivors and still get Saint. If you find yourself struggling to meet certain time restrictions, skip one or two. Be very careful which you skip, if you skip any, as some are tied to other things. Should you decide to try for the A ending you will have to save almost everyone who can be saved. I have received many emails stating that you can get the Saint achievement as well as Ending A in the same playthrough. You must save all but two mall survivors, then finish Overtime mode. So basically Barnaby dies and you can miss one other. ================ [4.0] - The Survivor List - Simple list of those who can be Escorted out of the mall by you.
