How to unlock the Strike a Pose! achievement in Fairytale Fights - Definitive Guide

**If you are going to vote negative on any solution, at least describe why you didnt like it. I'll adjust it, and you can still keep your negative vote if you want...it just helps nobody if you found something wrong with the solution and just leave a negative vote without commenting on it.

It looks like there are three methods you can use to get this:

1. Hit an enemy or coop partner in campaign
2. Hit yourself with one against a wall
3. Use a 2nd controller in Arena Mode


Added Note (Looking for Confimation):
When your hit streak (yellow flashing meter) is full you can hit the right trigger to use your "special" with whatever weapon/potion you have in your hand. If you have a love potion, you can "affect" every enemy on the screen with the potion and the phrase "Bye Honey" does appear after doing this. Now, I did not confirm this because I already had the achievement, but I don't know if it just counts as 1 towards the 50 OR if it counts every enemy that is on the screen towards your 50. It would be nice if someone could confirm this, but "Bye Honey" does appear when using the special with a love potion.

Ill put it in the solution with credit if anyone can confirm it. Thanks.


Whatever method you use, it has to say "Bye Honey" by your characters health meter to count towards the 50.

I tried all methods and found it fastest to do it in the Arena. "Hitting yourself" by being close to a wall is not very consistent and in the co-op campaign, you fight against your partner(s) to get to the potions that come from the treasure chests. Then, after you get one your like, "Hey, stand still while I hit you with this." It just doesn't make the campaign flow well and it slows you down.

I found it much easier, and quicker, to do it in the arena with a second controller; here, you control everything.

Level: Appendix 1: Behind the Glass
Time: No Limit
Kill: 5 Kills (explained below)

I used Appendix 1 because it dished out more potions than the other two maps and I set it to 5 kills because I double-dipped this achievement with the "Notorious" achievement for the 100 arena wins. The 5 kill count is the lowest you can choose and it gets you to 100 arena wins fastest.

In the minute or so that it took me to get the 5 kills I would always get one stun and, on many occasions, get two stuns with the love potion.

Using this method, I got the 50 stuns in about 35-40 matches in the arena. After you are done getting this achievement, you can then drink all the potions that come out in the final 60(ish) matches if you are going for the 100 matches achievement; these will go as credit towards the 1000 potions achievements. Drinking the potions, I would get about 3-4 each match: two love potions and two acid potions.

Not to mention, you can also get two of your weapon-specific kill achievements here too. 5 kills each match with 100 matches equals 500 kills so go for two of the three 250 "kill" achievements.

Ah, yes, the ol' quadruple-achievement-dip...a thing of beauty! :)

If you're doing it solo or don't want friendly fire on:

The achievement description isn't worded very well. You must CONTACT an ENEMY with a love potion or love wand. Having players or enemies walk into your puddle of love won't contribute. However, it's easy to tell if you got credit toward the achievement, as the words "Bye Honey" will be beside your character's picture/gold.

Make the words "Bye Honey" appear 50 times and the achievement is yours.

During a co-op game (with 2nd controller), make sure friendly fire is set to ON. Every time you encounter a pink/love potion, pick it up and throw it at the other player. This unlocked exactly at 50 throws for me.

Yes, you can do it in the arena, but I found it to be too long of a wait. I'll update the solution though. I guess I just figured that most people would be going through the game in coop mode with a 2nd controller, and it's one of those 2 birds/1 stone kind of thing.

If you are going for all the achievements in this game and have a co-op buddy, you can knock this one out as you go, especially since you have to play through the entire game three full times in co-op (no stackable difficulty cheevys here, single or multi-player). Just bash your opponent with a potion each time you find one and you should have this done fairly quickly.

However, if you are not going to do co-op (or just want this cheevy out of the way), there is another way to do this. Go into Arena Mode, and sign in a second controller. Select the arena “Lumber Rumble,: then select “no time limit.” Set the score to 5, as this will finish the match quickly AND give you progress towards your 100 Arena wins.

Once in the arena, potions will spawn on the swiveling platform in the middle. When a Love Potion appears (pink), grab it and bash your opponent with it. (Watch for the words "Bye, Honey" for confirmation that it worked). Do this 50 times and the cheevy is yours!

Good luck!

(Note: Depending on how much achievement progress you want to knock out at once, see the guide made by x athiktos x on this page for details on how to make some quick progress towards other things in the game while finishing this cheevy).

I don't know if this is going to be an actual 'solution', but i wanted everyone to know that I got this by throwing a potion at the wall when i was next to it....no enemies around, and the achievement unlocked. I did spend 3 runthroughs throwing them at enemies and it never popped. i accidentally threw one and hit myself with it, thats when i got it. Just sharing my experience!

You can do this during your playthroughs with multiple players. Whenever you come across Love Potions, pick them up and throw them at the other player (easily done if playing alone offline with both controllers). Love Potions are pink and you can find plenty of them in treasure chests. The same thing goes for pink wands, but those are more rare to come by.

The best way to hit your target is to stand still while facing your target and hit R1 to throw the potion. And every blast from the Love Wand (there are 5 in one wand) will count towards this trophy.
