How to unlock the Oh Shut Up! achievement in Escape Dead Island - Definitive Guide

First of all I can confirm that the Shadow Zombie kills do count towards this and all other kill Achievements. I know this because it's how got the achievement for killing a Bouncer in Mid Air.

After my second play through and into my third I got extremely annoyed with "Oh Shut Up!" as I am sure many others have as well. I had killed the first Screamer on the Tennis Courts (while it was screaming) after about 50 or so times. For me the unpredictability of the screamer really ticked me off. For instance it kept running at the balcony and then screaming when I was out of sight. Or it sometimes ran up the opposite side of the building as if it was trying to escape. After all that I was not looking forward to going through the Labs again for a third time in order to try and kill the Screamers on the way to the Marina again. So I desperately tried in vain to get the Tennis court screamer to respawn. I tried leaving the area and coming back. Nothing worked so I gave up. I played on through to the point where Devan runs off to the Marina and Cliff says his Keycard to the Labs says Devan is wrong. Made my way down the Mountain and into the area with the bodies. I didn't go towards the Labs and thus never saw the flash of lightning and screamer spawn at the broken fence like you normally would. Instead I headed back towards the helipad entrance. I noticed a screamer on the Ledge with the GeoPharm File. The one you can not reach without a grapple hook, which I didn't have at that time. Opened fire and killed it as it screamed. I was so pumped by yet another kill that I desperately wanted to SAVE my game so I wouldn't die and lose that kill. So I headed right back up the mountain to the top. It didn't save. Disappointing... but this is where it gets good. I went back down and low and behold the screamer had RESPAWNED! So I killed it again while it was screaming. I was so pumped by this I accidentally activated the Flash and the other screamer that spawns near the broken fence. Killed it while screaming... barely. And my Achievement popped! In order to test the RESPAWNING SCREAMER I went through the area towards the Labs and then turned around and came back. There he was again sitting pretty on the ledge. So... In short there is one screamer that Respawns over and over and over again. Use it to get this annoying Achievement!!

I just confirmed this method in New Game+, although I had to go back up the mountain until the "loading" icon appeared in the corner before it would respawn.

Dump 2-3 bullets into the resting siren, wait for it to scream again, and then mash the trigger till he drops.

Worked like a charm! My game capture is acting all weird now, but once it works again; I'll record it so you can add it to this solution. Still have a savefile with the checkpoint, so expect it between now and within 2 weeks smile

The game wont save at the same checkpoint location twice in a row, so you can alternate heading up the mountain and heading towards the labs to hit their respective loading sections if you want to save between kills.

This also makes a good spot to get the Walloper kills, though I wouldn't recommend going for both achievements at the same time and be careful of Zombies and Spitters coming up the hill.

does this method take place during the main story or during the DLC? I just started playing and don't want to miss out on it.

Easy to get in underwater labs, it has at least 5-7 sirens, I think I got 4 alone in the labs before this popped

I think it is worth noting that the Screamer described above only appears in New Game+.
I was looking for him for quite a while in my first run through, but couldn't find him. In NG+ I found him immediately (even though I didn't need him anymore, as I got the achievement in the DLC).

You can also use that Siren on the ledge for the 10 kills with the Walloper achievement. It doesn't move much so you can kill it from a long distance with ease

Finally on my third playthrough getting 13 perfectly timed kills I got it. Haha it unlocked on my first Siren in your spot mentioned so I am unable to say that he could of respawned on mine also since after this achievement I dashboarded and never touched it again laugh thank you anyways. Big thumbs up from me!

Thank you so much. If you are short on ammo like I was when I got to the start of chapter 7 I would recommend going through the DLC and getting the assault rifle. Along with that I had 70+ in pistol ammo which meant I didn't have to worry about spamming to make sure I killed the siren's when they were yelling.

I can confirm that kills for this achievement carry over to your second playthrough. I killed two Sirens during my first run of the game, then killed three more when making a return trip to the Marina (after grabbing the gas mask).

Regardless, you should do your best to kill the first Siren you encounter while it is screaming. You have enough time to kill it before other zombies swarm you, and Sirens only seem to scream while there are enemies to summon. As such, this achievement does require some timing.

The easiest section for finishing off this achievement is found on your way to the Marina. The route is just past the caves that require some crouch-walking, after you go through a hole in a wooden fence. For further reference, the area contains a bunker with a locked door, the entrance to the Geopharm Labs, and a gas-filled tunnel that leads you to the Marina. Also, getting this achievement early requires the silenced pistol, which you can find in the Geopharm Labs. Using your shotgun will draw another Siren's attention, who may exhaust its screams while you are dealing with other fodder. Make sure to search every nook for more pistol ammo.

Anyway, you will come across two Sirens up on a hill after coming out of the caves, before you get to the Geopharm Labs entrance. Hide behind the first knee-high rock and put a couple silent headshots into the first Siren. Although it will scream, it will not draw additional enemies because it cannot see you. Once the Siren's health is low enough, wait for it to scream again, then spam pistol bullets until it drops dead. Repeat the process with the next Siren on the hill. The route will then split, where the left path leads to a bunker, the middle leads to the Geopharm Labs, and the right leads to a gas-filled tunnel. The final Siren in the area is guarding the right path.

Note: If you do alert the Sirens and get killed, you should spawn back at the cave exit where you enter the area. However, due to the long respawn animation, you will spawn out in the open in plain view of the first Siren. If this happens, quit the game and continue. You will spawn back at the cave exit, but you will have time to get behind the rock in front of you before alerting the Siren to your presence.

Also note: Those three Sirens may only spawn during New Game+, but I have already done the best I can to wipe this game from my memory. In addition, I do not know if the shadow Sirens count toward the achievement, but at least eight or nine normal ones will spawn throughout the New Game+ campaign, so there is still room for error here.

Edit: After reading several comments, it seems several people have run into zombies after the first Siren screams, even though I encountered none (since the Siren's alert meter did not fill all the way) while repeatedly trying to kill all three Sirens in one run. I am not above ruling this method as a glitch, but just know this is the best location I found for knocking out the achievement quickly.

The parameters of this achievement are impossible for me. I wish I could find the spot with 3 Sirens you mention in this guide but I never could. When heading to the Marina after getting the silenced pistol, I saw several Butchers but not a single Siren. I've only ever come across them one at a time and it is far between each time I see one.

I have yet to come across a single Siren that doesn't immediately know where I am even shooting long distance with the silenced pistol, only screams when I can't hit it and stops screaming whenever I get into a position where I might actually be able to kill one. Its screams seem to damage me and make my character flinch no matter how far away I am from them, too.

I didn't kill a single Screamer while it was screaming in my 1st playthrough and I think I may have only seen 6-7 total including 2 phantom ones.

It sucks because I think this'll be the only achievement I can't get. :/

I'm not giving you a thumbs down or anything since it's clearly my fault that I just can't seem to get the game to set this up for me.

I really wish I had to only kill 1 while it was screaming and had to kill 5 Bouncers while they were airborne. That would still be difficult, but it could be pulled off. I'll likely give up trying to get this one. Oh well...

I've updated the location the three Sirens spawn in. Hopefully, my new description makes the area more apparent before you visit the Marina a second time.

Holy crap, I got it! All 5 in New Game+ as well. :)

Y'now that spot in the Jungle right at the bottom of the Mountaintop with the two piles of corpses? I was going back through there, I think to get to the Villa and there was a Siren spawned in the broken fence right there by the piles. Another one is high on a perch on your right just down the path a little from the corpse piles. It's the one you have to use the grappling hook to get up to. This is before you go to the Labs, so I didn't have the silenced pistol.

But this time when I went back to the Marina, the Sirens were there, just like you said. When I came through on my first playthrough, those were only Spitters. The only Siren was high above the Lab entrance.

Anyway, thumbs up, thanks for the tips. This'll be a piece o' cake to complete, now.

The location in the solution doesn't work for me at all. The know where I am right after I shot the siren even if I hide immediately.

I've tried about 25 times in a row with constantly rebooting the game. Its not working for me. When I run back into the cave zombies die without killing them. Seems to be a glitched area.

Unfortunately Sirens always rush to me in my playthough :(
They just scream for 2, may be 3 seconds, then they immediately rush to my position even if I use stealth mode. So I'm forced to use melee weapons against them and They don't scream anymore.

note: I'm sorry for my English. I'm an Italian user ;)

If ANYONE can make a video of how to EXACTLY get this achievement would be greatly appreciated. I've respawned in the jungle area en route to the Marina for the Devan mission too many times to get screwed over.

Shooting from a distance doesn't work because after it screams, a zombie (that you can't see after emerging to the area) spawns and attacks you, causing the others to follow suit, including the Siren and a Spitter.

The acheivement should be called: "Don't Scream" - Kill 5 Sirens BEFORE they scream..

Can't wait to finish this and sell it back to GameStop (if they even decide to give me squat for this P.O.S.)

Well I dunno if it was a glitch or not but the shadow sirens DID count for me. In the kitchen of the Villa there is Siren that I killed a couple of times but died before the game saves the progress. but the most surprising thing is it did counted those time that i killed it and died.
I killed 3 Sirens by the method above and 2 more by the glitch I told and got the achievement

This is beyond ridiculous. I'm at the point of paying a user, who got this already, to help get me this achievement. It's not worth running through a whole New Game, plus New Game+, to get it. I'll get the other 48 but I'll be selling this POS back, with a biohazard label

So do kills carryover for the third playthrough? I just got the one on the Tennis Court. Will try to keep an eye out for a rough count.

Confirmation that counts do continue over to the third-achievement popped after the third Siren kill on third play through. 1) Tennis Court 2) After Flashback on way to Lab 3) Jungle Hill Siren-so I had not even had the chance to have found five at this point.

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out where these locations are at.

The locations I *think* they might be talking about.

Pile of bodies with a fence that has a hole in it.
Down the mountain from there.
Through the fence and cave to the little pathway in the canyon, with the flipped over car on the way to the labs.
At the labs, the big cement structure on the left.

This achievement sucks balls, as soon as you go near to a siren you get stunned by the scream then if you try to shoot it the other zombies destroy you, for me this was just on the easier playthrough too, I am now on the case with new game+ but am not overly confident.

I am now on my third playthrough and if I don't get it before the shadows then I'm gonna fucking kick off on a massive scale. This achievement is a complete joke. I've killed 12 whilst screaming. Timed and killed exactly the right time. Bullshit!!! shock

You will be introduced to Sirens on the tennis court at the villa. You must kill the siren whilst it is screaming for help. Each siren will only scream 2 or 3 times before it charges after you.
It is easier to attack them from range as when close the scream will force Cliff to cover his ears so you cannot shoot.
Sirens are uncommon but kills will carry over playthroughs so don't panic if you don't get it first time around.
If you die, kills since the last save point will reset, but you can use this to your advantage by getting yourself killed by a siren to try again.
This trophy is significantly easier since the underwater labs DLC as you obtain the assault rifle which can kill a siren in 4 shots. Sirens are more common in the labs so you can shoot one quickly 3 times wait for the scream then quickly kill it.

Choose a pistol, the first shot must be made in the head and the rest in the body, but not right away because you can kill the siren before she screams.
