Deadpool (Xbox 360) 100% guide

Open the audio options and drag the Dialog Volume slider to zero. Once the achievement pops, turn it back up. Deadpool's voice cast is half the game.

This unlocks automatically as the game opens and Deadpool gets moving.

This unlocks automatically during the opening, alongside The first one's free!. You cannot miss it. The toilet is still one of the apartment interactions for Makin’ a game!.

Interact with every piece of Deadpool's junk in the apartment. The commonly cited list is 14 items:

• the TV
• the neon guitar
• the couch (take a nap)
• the bookcase
• the phone
• the dog
• the stove
• the fridge (keep drinking until Deadpool yells)
• the pizza (keep eating, about four times, until he stops)
• the bathroom sink (wash the germs off)
• the toilet (the stink pickle)
• the pump in the bedroom
• the computer
• the gun wall

Prompt wording varies, so press the interact button on anything with a prompt, and repeat any prompt that keeps giving new lines. The achievement pops when the last item is done. If you leave the apartment without it, replay the chapter.

Interact with the kitchen stove to start the pancake gag. Deadpool churns out the thousand pancakes himself, and the achievement normally unlocks during that animation. There is no long grind. The stove also counts toward Makin’ a game!.

You need 15 kills from grenades you hold until they explode in your hand. Hold the throw button and do not let go. Stand next to a group so the blast catches several at once.

The sewer tutorial has enemies that do not attack, which makes this easy. Do it at full health in case the blast hurts Deadpool. The count is a running total, so you can finish it anywhere if you run short.

Tacos drop from enemies and turn up on the floor. They also refill momentum. You need 100 in total, and normal play usually gets you there by about the third chapter. Just grab every taco you see.

In the studio lobby fight, get a combo above 40 before the elevators lock down. The lockdown triggers when you walk toward the elevators, so stay in the lobby fighting area until the achievement pops. Going into the elevator room too early can also stop the second group of enemies from spawning and leave you stuck short of 40.

• Use light attacks with the starting blades to stretch the combo.
• Teleport out of attacks instead of eating them.
• The combo has to end naturally. If you take a hit after passing 40, it does not count, so stop attacking and let it expire safely.

If you fail before the lockdown, restart the checkpoint and try again. If the lockdown has already triggered, use Restart Chapter.

After the lockdown you restore power and ride a lift that stalls, then wall-jump up the shaft. The five-minute timer starts when you force the lift doors open at the top with your swords. You must get through the boardroom without dying within five minutes. Do not stop at the boardroom dialogue. Keep going onto the exterior ledge and the window-washer platforms until the achievement pops. Genetically Superior makes this easy. Skip optional pickups and keep moving.

If you die, do not restart the checkpoint, which is reported to void this one. Use Restart Chapter instead.

This is a story achievement for finishing Job One.

Beat Arclight without taking damage from her slam attacks. It is not certain exactly which attacks count, so avoid all of them:

• Keep your distance from her ground slams. Jump to avoid them rather than relying only on teleport, since the ground slam may block it.
• Never let her grab and throw you.
• Burn her down with momentum attacks as soon as they are charged. Ending the fight fast is the safest route.

If a slam connects, Deadpool turns orange and slows down. That means the run has failed, so pause and restart the checkpoint.

Right after Arclight, you reach a central room with two side paths. Inside 60 seconds you must use all three switches, kill both phasers, and chase after Vertigo. The timer starts after the short cutscene.

1. Go down one side path and hit its switch. Dropping two mines at the start helps with the phasers.
2. The two phasers spawn back in the central room. Kill them.
3. Go down the other side path and hit its switch.
4. Hit the central switch where you came in.
5. Cross the new platform into the corridor and the tube.

It pops when you reach the pipe in the middle of the tube. Decide before you jump over the hole inside the tube. If it has not popped by then, restart the checkpoint and try again. Once you jump the hole you reach a new checkpoint, and a miss then means restarting the chapter.

The chapter ends with Vertigo knocking you into the water and a waterslide. Get down it without taking any damage. The hazards are falling gates and grates, and each one always has an open lane. Watch for the gap ahead and steer into it early. If you get hit, pause and restart the checkpoint. That does not void this one.

This is a story achievement for finishing Taking a Chance.

From the start of Genosha until you reach the fan girl, use only the Hammers and the Pulse Rifle.

• Required: buy both before the chapter (see Sewer Tutorial: DP and Grenade Farming).
• Required: equip only those two, and do not use the blades, the pistols, the sais or any other weapon.
• Safest route: skip grenades, traps and other equipment too.

The fan girl comes mid-chapter, before the Tower Plaza and the Wheel of Insanity, so the restriction does not affect the other Genosha achievements. If you slip, do not restart the checkpoint. Quit and Continue if the slip came after your last checkpoint, otherwise use Restart Chapter or replay Genosha later with chapter select.

When Deadpool gets the chance to slap Wolverine, keep slapping until the achievement pops. It takes a lot of slaps, so keep pressing the prompt.

When Cable drops into the arena, pick the WTF is Cable option and let the bit play.

Right after the fan girl, kill four enemies in the Tower Plaza with stealth kills, starting with the guard in front of you. Sneak up behind each one and use the stealth prompt. Gunfire breaks stealth. If one spots you, restart the checkpoint and skip the cutscene.

After the fight with Cable and the Weathermen, the Wheel of Insanity shows up on two floors of the tower. Shoot every target on both, with any weapon:

• first wheel, at the base of the tower: all the balloons
• second wheel, on the first floating-platform stage: all the balloons and the cow

The third wheel at the top has no targets. Look around carefully at each wheel before moving on.

This is a story achievement for finishing Genosha.

Finish Landed in Prison without countering a single attack.

• Teleport and counter share the B button. Teleporting is allowed, but pressing B near an enemy can trigger a counter instead. The safest route is to not press B at all in this chapter. If you do teleport, only do it with no enemy close by. Shoot and use grenades instead.
• Bring plenty of flashbangs and grenades for the Blockbuster fight.

You get an audible POW! when you counter. If you counter by accident, go straight to the Xbox dashboard, relaunch, and choose Continue, all before the next autosave can lock it in. Do not rely on Restart Checkpoint or a main-menu quit for this one. If you are not sure whether an autosave happened, use Restart Chapter, which always works. This chapter also has Fish out of water, so do both on the same careful run.

Early in the chapter, Deadpool dreams up a party room. There are eight groups of ladies, and you must talk to all of them before Rogue at the back, because Rogue ends the scene. Starting from the entrance:

1. Straight ahead, by the pool.
2. To the right, between two girls.
3. To the left of those two, by the girl on the wall.
4. Two girls past that, by the pool.
5. The corner group past those. Then head back toward the entrance.
6. The girl in the left corner.
7. The girls on the couch along the left wall.
8. Dance in the music area.

Numbers 5, 7 and 8 are the usual misses.

Cross the Toxic River without falling in, touching the water or taking damage from it. The section is a long chain of platforms and double jumps, so take each jump slowly. A chest along the way gives you the long teleport. The achievement pops after you clear a room once you have it.

Required habit: if you touch the water, do not restart the checkpoint, because the failure survives it. Quit to the main menu or the dashboard and choose Continue. If you have already used Restart Checkpoint after a failure, replay the chapter.

Stealth-kill the guards in the lair without being spotted, using each of the game's three melee weapons at least once: the Blades, the Sais and the Hammers. Switch weapons between kills.

• The first guard is easy, near the start.
• The second patrols the entryway. Kill him at an edge, since a leaping stealth kill is more likely to be seen.
• Two more cross paths further in. Wait in a far corner for them to split up.

If you are detected, quit and Continue.

The last guard keeps walking back and forth to Sinister's throne. Hide in the alcove under the stairs, kill him, then go up behind the throne and stealth-kill Sinister with the sword. Swords must be equipped when you use the prompt.

After Sinister falls, Deadpool thinks he has won, the fake credits roll, and he ends up on Twitter. When he teleports himself to the arena, this achievement pops automatically. You cannot miss it.

Beat Blockbuster with flashbangs, grenades and guns, and do not counter. So you've got some free time? pops when the chapter ends, provided you never countered.

This is a story achievement for finishing Landed in Prison.

The hat you end up wearing depends on which statue you return last. Do Speak No Evil (the orange statue, which leads to the Carnival) last, and you get the pirate hat. Then finish the chapter in it. Do the other two in either order first.

The green statue's path starts with a series of combat rooms. The DP chests and nooks in those rooms are optional and do not count, so grab them before you move on, since you may not be able to come back. Once the last wave is dead, Death appears and leads you into a dark corridor. That is where the 11 chests are.

How the dark works:

• Death's light protects and heals you. The dark hurts you steadily, but you can survive a short dash.
• Each chest has a red outline in the dark.
• Dash out for one or two chests at a time, teleport back into the light, heal, and repeat. Do not hang around in the dark.
• Death moves at her own pace, so grab chests as she passes them.

The achievement is reported to show a progress counter as you open each chest, but do not rely on seeing it. Keep your own tally as well: you should have 5 chests before the wallman ambush and 6 after it. The achievement pops as soon as you open the 11th chest.

Before the wallman (5 chests). Run slightly ahead of Death at the start.

1. On the right, just as Death tells you to stay in her light.
2. In the group ahead and to the left: the semi-hidden one, found by going right past the obvious chest.
3. The obvious right-hand chest of that group. Turn back for it straight after chest 2.
4. Off to the left, before you follow Death onward.
5. Along Death's path after the group.

Checkpoint tally: you should have 5. Next a wallman ambushes you. Kill it quickly, and Death speeds up afterward.

After the wallman (6 chests).

1. At the top of the first staircase.
2. At the top of the next staircase.
3. Just through the next doorway, immediately on your right.
4. Just through that doorway, on your left.
5. Further on, far left.
6. At the end of the corridor, beside the spot where Death stops.

If you are short, look up as well as around, since one chest may sit overhead. Use your tally against the numbered list to work out which group you missed.

Do not step forward from Death's stopping point until the achievement pops, because that drops you into the side-scrolling section with no way back. If you are short and cannot find the last chest, restart from the last checkpoint. It is untested whether chests you opened before a reload still count, so plan to get all 11 in one pass and assume you may have to open them again. If you leave the Tombs short, replay Death, Baby from chapter select. That replay can double as an ARRR-Rated run if you still return the orange statue last.

HISTORICALLY REPORTED BUG: a chest sometimes refuses to open, usually one that needs a teleport to reach or sits overhead. None of these fixes is confirmed, but they cost nothing to try near the edge of Death's light:

• throw a grenade at the same moment you press open
• jump straight up and press open as you land
• hold the open button for about a second
• tap forward while pressing open

When you reach the ticket line, pick the patience option every single time and never cut. The impatient options start fights and forfeit it. Keep going until you reach the front.

Beating the high score in any one of the three Carnival shooting games counts. The score is shown in the top-right corner, and the first game is the easiest to aim for. Shoot tickets, clowns and targets nonstop, and do not shoot the women, since hitting them costs you points. If you miss it, finish the chapter anyway for the other achievements and replay it later.

This is a story achievement for finishing Death, Baby.

Early in the chapter, in the subway and rubble stealth area, there is a small bathroom on the left. Pick up every DP coin (there are three) and every bit of ammo inside. Ammo will not pick up when you are full, so shoot your pistols on the nearby enemies until you have room first, then grab it all.

You need a 300-hit combo, and you have to bank it. Banking means the combo ends without you taking a hit, either by killing everything or by letting it time out. This bathroom is the best spot in the game:

1. Stealth-kill the first two guards.
2. Lure the big chaingun brute into the bathroom while the shield enemy is still inside. The brute gets stuck and cannot shoot you.
3. Kill everything else, then get out of the bathroom and use the pillars for cover.
4. Only now start the combo. Keep hitting the stuck brute and the shield enemy with upgraded shotguns and uzis, and avoid headshots so the brute does not die early.
5. Once the counter passes 300, finish them off without taking a hit.

Upgraded weapons and the Absorb Damage upgrade, which soaks the first combo-breaking hit, make this much easier. If the first run is too hard, come back during the Ultra-Violence! run. Higher enemy health on that difficulty makes the combo easier to stretch out.

After the objective "A gaggle of chumps. Let's waste 'em." appears, you reach the offices. The area can be done with stealth, so the fight is optional. Go to the very back of the office building and shoot the copier in the last cubicle against the wall until the achievement pops.

During the slow-motion Breach you only have your pistols and grenades. Within 10 seconds of the slow motion starting, kill everyone in the room and the shielded squad that bursts in. Upgraded pistols help.

1. Shoot the first soldier in the head.
2. Throw a grenade to the back of the room.
3. Shoot the group by the table on the left.
4. Throw one or two grenades at the shield squad as they come in, and finish them as slow motion ends.

If you fail, restarting from the last checkpoint is fine for this one.

This is a story achievement for finishing The Road to Victory.

Play the whole chapter, final bosses included, using only the DT 19815 pistols and the Beauroyre Blades. Dying is allowed for this one.

• Do not use the Hammers, any other weapon or any of their momentum attacks.
• Do not pick up enemy weapons such as a brute's chaingun.
• Grenades, bear traps and mines are reported not to count against it, but you do not need them, so leave them alone.

Play the whole chapter without dying, including the final fights against Arclight, Blockbuster and Vertigo and then the Sinister clones. A fall counts as a death. Restart Chapter is the safe fix after a death. Quitting and choosing Continue may also work, but that is disputed, so do not count on it.

The chapter opens on floating debris. Cross the whole floating crossing without falling, all the way to the large landmass where the fight up the stairs begins. Do not relax at the first solid ground you reach. The achievement popping is your only confirmation, and if you are fighting up the stairs with no pop, it has failed for this run.

Falling fails it, and so does the rescue teleport you use mid-fall. The normal teleport icons onto landmasses are part of the route. Take each jump slowly.

If you fall early in the crossing, quitting and choosing Continue puts you back at the chapter start. Otherwise use Restart Chapter. Restart Checkpoint does not recover it.

This unlocks at the end of the chapter, together with Suck it, Wolverine! and I am Deadpool. Do not quit before the credits start. After it, you have beaten the game, every challenge map is open, and so is chapter select for every chapter.

Score a combo of 75 or more on the floating stairs.

• Once the Bath Time autosave happens, restart the checkpoint straight away. You restart further along with more shooters waiting, which gives you more to hit.
• Use the Sais. Their small, fast hits rack up the count, and un-upgraded Sais give you even more hits per enemy. The SMG and shotgun are good backups.
• One platform does not have enough enemies, so clear it, start shooting the enemies on the next platform, and jump or teleport over. The combo carries across.
• Shooters on other platforms will try to hit you, and blocking enemies can break the combo, so switch targets quickly. Taking a hit before the combo starts does not matter.
• After you pass 75, stop taking risks and let the combo end on a safe platform before the citadel, in case it needs to be banked.

HISTORICALLY REPORTED BUG: it has sometimes failed to pop at 75. If that happens, reload the Bath Time checkpoint and go again.

Die 10 times in a row on the floating stairs, without moving forward between deaths. Nothing on screen counts them, so keep your own tally.

• Fastest route: make sure the Bath Time objective has appeared. Then jump to the final floating island, wait for the autosave there, and step off the edge. Falling respawns you at the autosave. Repeat until you have fallen 10 times. Falls should count. If the achievement has not appeared after 10 falls, let the enemies kill you instead.
• Do not walk forward into the citadel between deaths.
• If it has not popped by around the 12th death, check you are still before the citadel and keep going to about 15.

Ordinary deaths while you play do not add up to this, so the Ultra-Violence! run will not get it for you by accident.

Buy every Player Upgrade. It pops when you buy the last one.

Upgrade all seven weapons to their maximum: the Blades, the DT 19815 pistols, the Sais, the Hammers, the Pulse Rifle, the Shotguns and the Nuthals 220S. Each weapon has to be bought before its upgrades appear, and its upgrades also need enough kills with that weapon (see Maxing Everything). Use the upgrade menu to see what is still locked. Grenades and traps have no upgrade trees, so they are not part of this.

This unlocks once all eight chapters are cleared on Ultra-Violence!.

The Ultra-Violence! clear also unlocks this, since the difficulty achievements stack. If you would rather play Veteran instead, clearing all eight chapters on Veteran works too.

Earn Gold on five different challenge maps.

HISTORICALLY REPORTED BUG: one historical report, on another platform and not confirmed on Xbox 360, had this fail to pop after five Golds. If it does not unlock, earn Gold on a sixth map.

Clear a Silver or Gold challenge while countering at least 25 times. The counters add up across all three waves of a single attempt. Make a point of countering on every Gold rush attempt and this usually comes on its own.

On any Gold challenge, keep your combo going through an entire wave. Catacombs of Genosha is the easiest map for it. On Great White News HQ, hold the starting corner and keep shooting.
