Just a heads up my numbers are a little different from yours. Knife kill is 13 and brazen bull is 9.

I also slid under the blade trap on the danu bridge with success. My final challenge was 20 kills without leaving the challenge podium. A right bitch at round 26...

Sorry if this is a stupid question but do all 9 have to be done in one game? or is it cumulative?

Took me until round 26 to get this. Think you could do it a lot sooner though because many of mine were challenges requiring the big gladiators, tigers and blight fathers, the latter two being not so common. I did the entire thing just running in circles around the starting area and using the gun you get for three challenges completed.

I DID NOT have to do the "Blight Father Tounge" challenge during my play through for the cheev, so I advise keep retrying until you get the same final challenge I did if you are having trouble with the Blight Father Tounge kill.

As far as KILLING A BLIGHT FATHER WHILE BEING TOUNGED Challenge:
- Try to keep one Gladiator or zombie alive to give you less distractions while trying this
- Start by shooting the Puss Pack off the back of the Blight Father
- Then when he tounges you up make sure to fire all you got at his head with your strongest weapon
(I used a fully PaP'd Hades LMG)
- If you shoot off his jaw before hand then he wont be able to shoot his tounge at you and will just follow you around shooting its blasts

Here is a video showing how to Kill a Blight Father While Getting Tounged for the challenge in IX ZOMBIES, as well as showing the 9 challenges I completed for this achievement.

Here are the links to the videos to help with the Brazen Bull & Death Of Orion:

BRAZEN BULL

DEATH OF ORION

My 9 challenges were as follows:

1 - Knife Kill 13 Zombies

2 - Get 6 Equipment Kills

3 - Slide Under A Blade Trap w/o Taking Damage

4 - Get 9 Kills w/ The "Brazen Bull"

5 - Survive A Whole Round Inside The Temple

6 - Break Off 9 Pieces of Gladiator Armor

7 - Hit 9 Zombies w/ A Single Charged Shot From The "Death Of Orion"

8 - Kill 9 Gladiators

9 - Get 20 Kills w/o Leaving The Challenge Podium

Surely if you shoot off his jaw and he cant spit his tongue at you, are you being "tongued" if he is just spitting at you? just asking not being a dick or anything.

To activate a Challenge Banner, knife the rope holding any of them on the wall of the arena. You'll then have to complete 9 challenges one at a time and you'll be rewarded for each completion at the center of the arena. You must claim or reject the reward to move on to the next challenge. The possible challenges are below:

Challenge 1/2:
  • 13 melee kills, 5 consecutive headshots or 6 equipment kills - All fairly simple and self explanatory
Challenge 3:
  • Get 10 kills with your special weapon - Self explanatory.
  • Slide underneath a spike log trap without taking damage - Easy, one location for this is in the Pit.
Challenge 4/5/6:
  • Kill 5 zombie tigers - You will get 4 from one of the gongs, a bunch on round 9 and they'll be randomly scattered throughout the waves.
  • Stop 3 catalyst transformations - Occasionally zombies will change into one of four catalyst zombies, you need to shoot them while they are changing. Partly luck based, you may want to train zombies and wait for them to transform to speed this up.
  • Get 9 kills with the Brazen Bull - To build the Brazen Bull you need 3 parts, one can be found in each of the Odin, Zeus and Ra towers, see the Map Guide. Once you've collected all 3, you can craft it on the buildable table in the Pit. Hold it with lb.png then kill 9 zombies with it.
  • Survive a full round in the Temple - End a round in the Temple, then spend the entirety of the next round without leaving it.
  • Break off 9 pieces of Gladiator Armour - Gladiators are the large armoured guys, as you shoot at them parts of their armour will fly off, to make this quicker shoot in various places instead of just the head to break off multiple pieces per gladiator.
Challenge 7/8:
  • Kill 9 gladiators - Easy, but will take a few rounds to get enough
  • Maintain max crowd affinity for 2 minutes - Fairly easy, especially if you are already maxed, just take extra care not to run into fire and you should be fine for this one.
  • Hit 9 zombies with a charged shot of the Death of Orion - Main issue with this one is obtaining the weapon, either keep hitting the box until you get it or check Gift of Serket for instructions on earning it via a quest.
Challenge 9:
  • Kill a blightfather - The strongest enemy in the map, he first appears on round 15 and appears every few rounds after that. Shoot him, preferably at the large yellow thing on his back, until he dies.
  • Get 20 kills without leaving the Challenge Podium - Fairly simple if you use your Specialist weapon, kite zombies around for a bit in the arena, then lead them onto the podium and activate the weapon to slaughter them.
  • Kill a blightfather while being grappled by his tongue - See below for a quote from Jerry Appleby:
    • Blightfathers have 3 weak spots; 2 sacs on their back + 1 on the face (tongue).
    • Best way to do it is to shoot off the 2 sacs on its back first, otherwise when you shoot it while being grabbed, you might accidentally destroy the tongue. If you destroy that part first, it's impossible to get the challenge done until you spawn another Blightfather later.
