How to unlock the Apprentice Rising achievement in Dead Rising 2 - Definitive Guide
*Start the game like normal.
*Dress as the ninja for stealth and not getting grabbed all of the time. (Rarely do zombies grab you, but it's 99% less than normal)
*Wear the Viking helmet of the fan outfit for walking a bit faster than normal.
So: There we go hauling in those loads of PP (Beavis and Butthead laugh)
*Each time you give Katey a toy (see the Father of the Year and Father of the Month achievement guides for those which toys are wanted and where to find them) you get a ton of PP. It ranges from 5000 to 15.000 PP . For this moment we focus on all the toys you can get inside of the Royal Flush Plaza. Most stuffed animals are found there, just like the stick pony, the ball and a bag of marbles. Every time you have enough items, go to the Safe Room and give it to Katey. (Damaging the stuffed animals means Katey does not want them by the way!)
*You can earn a total of 9000PP in the sports shop in Royal Flush plaza. When walking in the plaza, you can pick a sledge hammer. Walk into the sport shop, press on the strongman game so you make a striking move, which is 5000PP. After that, pick up either the MMA or the boxing gloves and punch the dummies until they break for 1000PP each. It does not work with anything other than the gloves.
*You can also earn PP in the Flaming Craps pen. Get rid of the three cops in the pen, and very simple: Throw a 7. (it already lays there a 2 times 6. So, take a dice and throw it right in front of you. Most of the time you throw a 1 and earn 10.000 PP)
*Next we can go to the sport shop opposite of the pen. Inside is a mini game which involves golfing and some timing. You give some money, press at the right time and earn up to 32.000PP if you win all three games. (First round is 1000$, second 2000$ and the third 10.000$. You easily rack that amount of money when playing Terror is Reality at the start of the game.
*Save Denyce, kill the looters. Bring Denyce to the Safe Room, talk to Sulivan who will give you the key to the maintenance rooms. But: Time to safe your first "real" survivors. They are there once you walk through the doors. Bring them to safety (you cannot do anything wrong as they are near the Safe Room and the AI of survivors is better than the first game!). In later playthroughs talking to Sulivan is not needed as the maintenance key gets in your inventory by default.
*After the first two survivors are in and you got the PP for both, restart the story. It allows you to keep the level and PP you already got. Press so you skip Terror is Reality and the escape from the arena with Katey. You end up in the Safe House. Rinse and repeat from here to level 25. Not hitting results in the intro being played and do Terror is Reality all over again, and escaping the arena. Which only costs time.
If you give a negative thumb, tell me why so I can edit the solution.

Maybe save at 24 to reload if it doesn’t pop on 25, glitched mine and going to 26 didn’t help either. Will have to make a fresh save to do it all over agaib
