Five Easy Achievements: The Darkness 2

G'day folks!

After replaying the campaign now for the third time, I decided to write this directly after the review, hopefully still making it fresh for you folks to get a decent boost to your Gamerscore!
So in order to help along, here's some achievements that are simple, yet effective, to achieve!

***WARNING: The Darkness 2's Achievement List mostly contains hidden achievements, so to those who have not played the game yet, spoilers may be lurking ahead!***

1: One Man Army
10 Gamerscore
This achievement is simple enough, to those with a steady trigger finger. While being dragged through the restaurant, this achievement requires you to kill 25 enemies without dying or restarting the checkpoint. This means you have one shot to get this, but many make this harder than what it is.
Simply start a new game + in order to save all your unlocked powers and set the difficulty to Thug (Easy). As soon as you have a pistol, enemies will mostly appear to your left and right. Keep a steady shot and aim mostly for the chest and head while with the one pistol. Eventually you will take control with two pistol. Simply keep to a burst limit of three to kill an enemy and move on to the next one.

2: The Bird Is The Word

Okay, so this one isn't a real huge one, but its hilarious. Eventually when you're heading home and battling in your garage, a car will charge at you and try to run over. If possible, duel wield two pistols or even Micro's and let loose! If you do enough damage, the car will burn, explode and flip over you, to which Jackie will flip the bird to the people inside as they hang in mid air!

3: Karma's A Bitch
10 Gamerscore
Just after the moment in the Garage, you will meet a new type of enemy who holds a Darkness Riot Shield. This achievement requires you to yank this shield from its user and kill him with it. To do this, shoot the shield until it looses its Darkness qualities. Then perform the yank with your Darkness and wait for him to recover from his stagger. Shoot until he then looses his body armour and wait for the stagger again, then throw it!

4: Versatile Killer
20 Gamerscore
This achievement requires you to kill any set of enemies in 5 different ways in under 30 seconds. Now this seems a little challenging, but once you upgrade a little, it can be quite easy. This achievement counts different weaponry, so don't forget about gun variety. This is how I did it; kill one enemy with a Cobra, switch to a Sawed Off Shotgun and kill another. Take a throw-able item and kill another, slash an enemy with your Darkness Snakes and to finish, grab a staggering enemy and throw him!
There are many ways to unlock this achievement so find your style. Remember, variety is the spice of life...and gaming!

5: 2 Guys 1 Pole
25 Gamerscore
Now, its not like what you're thinking it is; this achievement askes you to kill two enemies with a pole. Any old pole will do, but what I used was a pool table cue. Eventually during the campaign, you will be chasing down a traitor in your organisation, chasing him to a poker game. There will be many pool table cues lying around and there are four enemies; two being the bar and two more near the stairs. Simply choose your targets, take a cue (geddit?) and aim.

and another one that's pretty easy.

6: The Kid's Got Talent
50 Gamerscore
This one is pretty simple, upgrade one "tree" of your Darkness powers to its full. This can be done approximately halfway through the campaign. To unlock more powers, you must collect Darkness Essence and spend it. Most lower powers cost 600-800 Essence, while the larger ones cost 1000-1250. The way I unlocked it is pick one tree and unlock everything on it first. The Gun Specialist tree is most likely the easiest, many of its unlocks sitting at 600 or less.

Hopefully this gets you a bit of a boost but there are many more achievements in this game so get cracking and get ready to spit a man from the tip of his spine to his bum and watch his organs hang!
As always folks, have fun and game on!
