• Combo King – Get a high combo in any chapter (will likely unlock naturally).

• No special tricks required — just finish the game.

• Nigel the Bat – Found in Chapter 1: No Talk. (Top-left room after first area.)

• Ted the Dog – Complete a level using only melee weapons. (Chapter 2 or 5 is easiest.)

• Carl the Grasshopper – Score a high combo on a level. (Chapter 8 is ideal.)

• Earl the Walrus – Clear a level without firing guns. (Use melee only, Chapter 4 is easy.)

• Gunman – Use only firearms for an entire level. (Chapter 3 or 6 works well.)

• Pitcher – Kill enemies by throwing weapons 30 times. (Throw melee weapons constantly until it unlocks.)

• Combo Master – Perform a combo of 8 or more. (Easily done in Chapters 4 or 8.)

• Knife for Pros – Use only knives for an entire level. (Chapter 2 recommended — restart if you accidentally pick another weapon.)

• A+ Rank All Chapters – The toughest part of 100%.

• Focus on speed, combo, and variety for high scores.

• Use fast masks (like Tony or Dennis) to chain kills.

• Learn enemy spawns to avoid slowing down.

• High Score – Reach 250,000 total points. (Will unlock naturally if you go for A+ ranks.)

• Zoo Keeper – Find all masks. (Some are tied to gameplay requirements, others hidden in rooms.)

• Plain Luck – Kill an enemy with a door. (Just slam a door on someone repeatedly until they die.)

• Combo Beginner – First time you chain 4 kills. (Automatic early on.)

• Batman – Kill 50 enemies with bats. (Farm this in Chapter 2 or 3.)

• Sharpshooter – Use firearms only to clear a level, with no misses. (Small levels like Chapter 1 or 2 are easiest.)

1. First Playthrough:

• Play normally to enjoy the story.

• Pick up any obvious masks you see.

• Don’t worry about score or A+ yet.

• Replay levels to collect all masks.

• Work on weapon-specific achievements (melee only, gun only, knife only).

• Clean up any hidden ones like “Plain Luck.”

• Focus on A+ ranks. Learn level layouts and enemy spawns to maintain speed and combos.

• Finish grinding weapon kills (bat, thrown weapons).

• Check your total points to unlock “High Score.”

• Masks that help for high score: Tony (lethal punches), Dennis (chainsaw), Carl (faster movement).

• Play aggressive, not cautious — long delays break your combo and hurt score.

• Don’t stress early deaths — restarting is instant and part of the game’s design.

• Use Chapter Select — nothing is permanently missable.
