This guide is designed to help players get the Frank the Pimp Achievement with as little frustration as possible. It is assumed that players who read this guide have at least a basic understanding of the game, such as weapons and items, locations, and escorting survivors. The Achievement can be accomplished at any level, but the higher the level of the player, the easier it will be. This guide will not be a walkthrough to help a player achieve the True Ending, nor will it help players attempt to save all survivors. This guide will not list methods to kill survivors or psychopaths; lord knows there are plenty of those on this site. For the easiest attempt at Frank the Pimp and some of the other achievements listed, it would be advised you do not attempt to go for the Saint or True Ending using this walkthrough. Other Achievements possible during this walkthrough include (but not limited to): Tour Guide Gourmet Clothes Horse Sharp Dresser Self Defense PP Collector Some of the achievements listed above are not directly tied to the Frank the Pimp Achievement, but due to the amount of time you will have on your hands for about an hour or so, they are easy to do while you wait. Make sure though that you have the items you need to do the walkthrough before you go about trying to do other achievements, which leads me to� [w2] 2 � Preparation: There are a few things you will want to carry on you at all times to make your life much easier: Food � There is Orange Juice in an infinite supply at the restaurant on the second floor of Paradise Plaza. The location is in the cooler near the cash register. Orange Juice is a good healing item giving 4 blocks of health back. There is a better item mentioned during the walkthrough, but OJ should always be stocked up on if you are in the area. Weapon � If you have already done Zombie Genocider or 5 Day Survivor Achievements, then the Real Megabuster (will be stated as RMB from now on) and Real Laser Sword (will be stated as RLS from now on)are the best weapons to take with you, but if you have not gotten them, use what ever you can. There is a Shotgun in the Entrance Plaza the first time you fight zombies if you are brave enough to pull it off a victim. A Sledgehammer can be found in the top area of the Warehouse, but you will want to avoid using this item once you start getting survivors. A sub-machinegun is found on the blue awning above the warehouse entrance in Paradise Plaza. You get it by jumping up to the Blue Awning from the stairs a couple shops down. There is also a katana near the OJ listed above by jumping out the window by the cooler and landing on the awning outside the restaurant. For the most part though, Martial Arts is your primary weapon, use the Double Lariat to save ammo or durability on weapons. Make sure you don't have a weapon equipped or you will have to go fetch it though. Finally, try to keep a couple queens on you if at all possible. They save you a lot of heartache and are needed for at least one of your female survivors. Survivors � You will be killing all survivors other than the following: Leah, Pamela, Heather, Kay, Lilly, Kelly, Janet, and Jennifer. Seven of the survivors listed will be achieved within 10 minutes time; Leah is the only survivor you will have to escort for about an hour. If you had to Escort any female survivor, Leah is the best one to do though. Leah can be carried, and while you carry her, most Zombies will not be able to grab a hold of you. This makes traveling very easy with minimal fighting. Using a waypoint you can park Leah in safe areas around the mall and go about Frank's business as long as you remember to pick her up again before you leave. This enables you to pass the time with minimal escorting. Some other FAQs list other girls to be saved, however I find that this way gives you a minimal amount of tedious (and sometimes frustrating) escorting. So let's get to the meat of this FAQ� [w3] 3 � Walkthrough [w3a] Event Resolution Checklist: [] Natalie and Jeff on the Roof (escort, kill, or leave them) [] Backup for Brad (kill Brad or do not complete 1-4) [] Cut from the Same Cloth (Kill Ken) [] Barricade Pair A & B (Kill Burt and Aaron) [] A Mother's Lament (Save Leah) [] Convicts and Sophie in Leisure Park (leave the park after cut scene) Start a new 72 hour mode and skip through photography and cut scenes by pressing start if you want. When you finish with Carlito, enter the Security room, grab the RMB and RLS if you have them and make your way to the Entrance Plaza. Get through the next cut scene and initiate the next cut scene by heading to the pile of benches and garbage in the back area of the bottom floor. After the cut scene, fight your way to the stairs. Heading towards the stairways, there is a shotgun on the corpse surrounded by Zombies to the right if you want it. Once you get to the top of the stairs, get another cut scene and start the actual game. Talk to Otis to get your map and walkie talkie, and then exit the air duct. You will meet your first two survivors here, Natalie and Jeff. You can escort them, kill them, or leave them (make sure you have visually seen both of them). After you finish with them, head through the warehouse and get yet another cut scene and a handgun. Depending how long it has taken you to get through the cut scenes at this point, you may or may not have "Cut from the Same Cloth" Scoop, but you can ignore it for now. Grab some weapons and head out towards the Leisure Park area and move to the food court for "Backup for Brad." After the cut scene, you can either try to kill Carlito, or just kill Brad and never have to worry about Cases for the rest of the walkthrough. If you kill Brad, the path between Entrance Plaza and Paradise Plaza will not open up, but you will not need to use it for the purposes of this walkthrough either, so it is up to you. If you haven't dealt with "Cut from the Same Cloth," you can do so now by heading back to Paradise Plaza. When you get to Kent, go ahead and kill him. He is a weakling, use the Katana or something. Now start heading back to the Food Court and to your eventual destination, Al Fresca Plaza. You should definitely have gotten "Barricade Pair A & B" by now and more than likely "A Mother's Lament" as well. If you haven't gotten "A Mother's Lament" yet, go ahead and screw around in Leisure Park or Food Court for now. Once you have both scoops head to Al Fresca Plaza and head to the barricade duo of Burt and Aaron. There is a convenient hardware store near them which will make killing them easy (Sledgehammer for the win). Next head over to the Jewelry store and take care of Leah, you should have about 4 conversations with her before she joins you. Get her to crawl herself over the counter then use the B to Carry her. You will be piggy-backing this girl around a lot for the next hour or so real time, but that isn't a bad thing. When you carry a survivor, zombies have difficulty grabbing a hold of you. This makes travel through the mall quite convenient. Leah will with you most of the time so you should not have to do much fighting for a little while, unless you want to. You can take Leah with you to finish up the Entrance Plaza part of Case 1 if you helped Brad or go about other business if you killed him (See the section labeled "Other things to do" for ways to pass time). Make sure you grab some wine in the Food Court and use it or OJ to heal Leah or yourself whenever you need to. Wine is better than OJ, but you have to leave and come back to get more than 5. After 6pm make sure you take a step into the Leisure Park area and get another cut scene. Afterwards, just go back into the mall; Sophie will die a couple minutes later. Some guides say you should get Sophie as one of your girls for the Pimp Achievement, but I found that the scoops were much more difficult to get rid of while trying to escort Sophie and Leah around the mall. [w3b] Event Resolution Checklist: [] Outta Control (Kill the clown, open the shortcut) [] Kill Greg (In Paradise Plaza) [] Take a moment to see cut scene in Warehouse (get a queen) [] Japanese Tourists (Kill them) [] Shadow in North Plaza (kill David) [] Lover's A & B (Kill them) Waste a little time in Entrance Plaza, Food Court, or North Plaza while waiting on Outta Control to come up. It should be about 8pm when you get the call, so you should not have to wait too long. When you get the call head to Wonderland Plaza and drop Leah off in the Bathroom. Set a waypoint there so she doesn't leave. Go up to the Space Rider and start the fight with Adam by examining the Console. After the fight, examine the console again to free Greg. Escort him to the bathroom, which Leah is slowly limping away from. You should get back there in time to make sure Leah is ok (give her some OJ or wine if needed). Once Greg shows you the way to Paradise Plaza, use it and then kill him once on the other side. Grab Leah and go to the Warehouse for another cut scene. Kill the zombie by the elevator for a queen and keep it tucked away in your inventory for now. You should have gotten "Japanese Tourists" scoop by now so carry Leah back to the bathroom and warp back to Wonderland. Keep Leah way-pointed in the bathroom and head up to the bookstore. Kill the tourists and then waste a little more time until you get "Shadow in the North Plaza" scoop. Go back to the Bathroom, grab Leah and head to the North Plaza. Head to the under construction store close to the Crislip's side of the mall. David will be inside, so head in with Leah and kill him. Grab Leah and run around the Mall some more until around 7am for the "Lover's A & B" scoop. I recommend going to the grocery store to work on Gourmet achievement or something, but stay out of Wonderland Plaza. Once you get the call for "Lovers" head to the Wonderland Plaza and then go kill Ross and Tanya. After you kill them you will have some more time on your hands (about 15 minutes or so). Use the time to get a couple more queens, weapons, or items. [w3c] Event Resolution Checklist: [] Hatchet Man (kill Cliff and the Prisoners) [] The Coward (kill Gordon) [] Save Pamela and Heather (non-scooped) [] Restaurant Man (kill Ronald) [] Above the Law (kill Jo, save the girls) [] Save Jennifer At around 9am, you should get a couple scoops. The first will likely be "Hatchet Man," so make sure you aren't in North Plaza. From this point until I tell you otherwise, stay out of Paradise Plaza. Get wine in the food court for healing if you need it. Carry Leah to Crislip's in North Plaza and kill Cliff inside. Do your best to keep Leah behind the counter if possible. After the fight take Leah back into the North Plaza and kill the three survivors in the locked room next to Crislip's. You will have gotten "The Coward" by now so head to Al Fresca Plaza. He is in the Hardware store, so use a Sledgehammer to make quick work of him. If you have been quick you should have no scoops or possibly just "Restaurant Man." Head to Wonderland Plaza and use the Bathroom to go to Paradise Plaza now, which you should have been avoiding. Carry Leah and head to the Toy Store where Pamela and Heather are. Use the Queen you should have and save Pamela. Then jump through the window and get Heather to join you. Escort the three girls to the bathroom and waypoint them there. If you have "Restaurant man," go kill Ronald, otherwise warp to Wonderland Plaza until you get it. Keep the 3 girls way-pointed to the bathroom at all times. After you kill Ronald stay in Paradise Plaza until you get the call for "Above the Law." Warp to Wonderland, save if you feel the need, and way-point the girls to stay in the bathroom. You will notice that Sally and Nick are not present. This is because you have 3 survivors already and the 4 from Jo will give you 7. You cannot have more than 8 in total, but don't worry the last girl is easier to get than Sally would be. Head to the store with Jo and the girls and kill Jo. Save the girls and then immediately jump off the top floor and run to the bathroom to re-way-point the group. Make sure you have all 7. If you have Queens use them on any girl that may have gotten surrounded by zombies. Give wine to any girl who got low on life during the return to the bathroom. This may be the most difficult part of the walkthrough, but keep your cool. Stay in Wonderland Plaza until 1pm, save again if you feel the need, and then warp back to Paradise Plaza. You will get a cut scene as soon as you warp. Quickly kill the Cultists and save Jennifer. As soon as you get her to join you will get your Frank the Pimp Achievement (and Tour Guide if you had not gotten that). For the purposes of this guide, you no longer have to keep playing. Congratulations on one of the more difficult Achievements to acquire. [w4] 4 � Other Things to Do: This part of the guide is just for time filler. You do not need to do any of these things to get Frank the Pimp, they are just for other achievements if you feel the need. I will not give a walkthrough for these achievements since you can find them on GameFAQs by other authors. Doing Frank the Pimp requires a specific type of run through the game, one most players aren't generally proud of. These extra things help you get things done in games you would not normally have time to do. Gourmet � Eat all the different foods in the mall. Seon's Food has almost everything you need, but bear in mind you need Pie from Al Fresca or Paradise Plaza. You also need Thawed veggies (hold frozen veggies for a while), Rotten Pizza and Rotten Meat (hold Uncooked and raw versions for a while), and Golden Brown Pizza and Well Done Steak (cook the uncooked pizza and raw meat in a microwave). The seven mixed drinks are also a part of this achievement. Use a Juice Mixing guide for more information on these items. PP Sticker � Photograph the little stickers around the mall (there are 100 in total). You will not be able to complete this until after you get your Frank the Pimp achievement from this guide. This is because you need to be captured by cultists get two stickers, and you will have gotten the achievement as soon as the cultists appear. Use a PP Sticker guide for assistance on this achievement. Clothes Horse (and Sharp Dresser) � Since you will have a lot of time on your hands, you may as well try a few things on. This achievement is the easiest to complete while doing Frank the Pimp. Use a Clothing guide for more info. [w5] Version 1.0 � The initial writing of this guide.
