How to unlock the Head Trauma achievement in Dead Rising 2 - Definitive Guide
I used this video and it worked perfectly. Video credit goes to YouTube channel: Viorel Nicolae
newspaper box and Blngo ball cage. in fact i remember that i used them both in the first attempt. but it didn't count for some reason. in the end i have 2 notes
first,use the 3 moves with each thing
the moves(Hold X,Press X,Throw by(LT+RT).second it is recomended to do it in one walkthrough or in one save slot.Thank you for the guide,helped me a lot
there is no "note" or warning in the actual video, but you actually NEED to progress in the story and even do some side quests for certain weapons to be available.
Fast forward toward the end of the video at the, melee item number 136 at the 6:40s mark.
a specific list of the items needed thru progression are,
Giant Pink Chainsaw - Side quest "Here Comes the Groom"
Katana Sword - Case 4-1
Military Case - Case 5-2
Comedy Trophy - Side Quest " Two Companies" ( go hit a zombie with it BEFORE giving it to either comedian to take them to the safe house.)
Magician Sword - Side Quest "World's Most Dangerous Trick"
reading the comments on youtube, this achievement might be cumulative thru multiple playthroughs, though i would suggest trying it in one.

It is not required to kill them, hitting them will suffice.
As all other multi-playthrough achievements, there have been reports of it not unlocking when it should. Again, try to contain the requirements in one playthrough, to be on the safe side.
Take note of the following items and ensure you find these while doing the relevant missions/cases.
Unique items:
- Giant Pink Chainsaw - 'Here Comes The Groom' side mission
- Katana - Case 4-1
- Magician's sword - 'The World's Most Dangerous Trick' side mission
- Military Case - Starting from Case 5, hard to miss boxes though.
- Trophy - 'Two for Company' side mission.
You can find a detailed walkthrough here. You can also check out the video below for some help.

Use the Weapons Checklist below to keep track of the melee weapons you've used. Note that you don't have to kill the zombie, just hit them. Note that Military Case is only available after Case 6, and the Comedy Trophy in "Two's Company", the Magician's Sword from "World's Deadliest Trick", and the Katana Sword from Case 4-1 are mission specific, making this a missable trophy. Apparently hits on gas zombies do not count for the weapons trophies, so make sure to hit a normal zombie.
