How to unlock the FRIED PIPER achievement in Left 4 Dead 2 - Definitive Guide

Load Dark Carnival "The Barns". When you get to the end of this chapter and you have to fight the horde before the gate will open, continue you down that stretch of alley after the gate until your outside the safe house, unlimited amounts of common infected will spawn here and no special infected. Anyways just wait til you see a clown leading a wave of zombies and throw that molly, should do the trick.

You can sometimes find a Molotov on the construction scaffolding in the middle of the gated area. That's where I got mine. If not, reload the chapter and try again. You can also try to retain a Molotov from the prior chapter.

And the above solution worked the first time. All I had to do was run into the safe room, allow the AI to enter, then exit and shut the door. I stood back against the far railing and melee'd any zombies that approached me. The rest of them accumulated against the safe room door, and once a clown joined them, I tossed a Molotov. Achievement unlocked.

Voted up.

All I can recommend is playing the previous chapter and hanging on to a molotov for this part whenever you find one.

Mclinton, there are a few locations that a molitov can spawn, if it doesn't, just start over. The ones off the top of my head are:
1. There is occasionally one in the area with all of the tents right after you exit the saferoom.
2. The middle part of the bumper car area frequently has one.
3. In the room in the barn where there are always other supplies, sometimes there is a molitov (although usually it seems to be a pipe bomb)
4. Sometimes in the area just before the mini-finale, a molitov can be found to the left on the ground.

Perfect solution, did it on my third go after throwing the molotov too early on the first attempt at an on-rushing horde with a clown (obviously not enough normal zombies!) and not finding one the second time around. One Eyed Tigh gives some great additions, just shut the safe room door on the AI and shove the zombies back periodically until a clown is present, on easy you won't take much damage at all. Molotov at your own feet and BOOM, job done!

You don't actually have to wait to see a clown before you throw your molotov. Just throw it into the building just outside the safe room. A clown will eventually spawn and run through the fire. I got this achievement last night that way. I threw my molotov and didn't initially hit a clown. I got all sad panda because I thought I missed my chance, but then a clown charged at me through the fire and the achievement popped. Yay!

This can be done solo, with AI survivors.

1.) Play Survival mode, load up "Dark Carnival: Stadium Gate".

2.) From the spawn, pick up and carry one Molotov over to the scaffolding in front of the gates. Swap out for the pipe bomb. Return to the spawn and pick up your second Molotov. This enables you to have both Molotov's in reach while on the scaffolding.

3.) Start the round and return to the top of the scaffolding. Watch for the red-hued clowns both towards the right of the gate above the Porto-johns as well as back towards the spawn.

4.) Wait for zombies to occupy your AI allies, until a larger horde successfully drops into the area. Let 'er rip. With two shots, you have a pretty good chance at nailing a clown, unlocking your achievement.

you need to make your way to the tunnel of love level. once your inside there is the maintenance room and just past that you have to drop down a hole. what you need to do is drop down the hole, wait a sec for the zombies to spot you, then throw the molotov on the floor at yourself as their sould deffinatly be a clown there with more than enough zombies. i got this achievement here and so did 2 of my friends. so if you don't get it the first time just try again as it sould work. message me if you need any more help.

Play through the first level of the Dark Carnvial campaign and collect a molotov along the way. They are usually in the last part of the level when making your way towards the safe room through the swamp area or in the back of one of the vans.

When the 2nd chapter starts, switch to Expert and kill off the AI so they don't interfere. As soon as you exit the safe room and head towards the entrance to the carnival you are attacked by either 1 or 2 clowns leading a large group of common infected. Either wait till they surround you or throw a moltov at the entrance as they are bottle necked through the gates.

In the Dark Carnival Campaign chapter 2 "Fairground" is where i did this. First of all make sure you have a molotov. Now when you start the horde with the merry go round tons of infected will come including clowns. Stand around somewhere and wait until your surrounded by alot of infected with atleast one clown. throw the molotov at your feet and you should get it

ok so start on dark carnival coaster level so you can find a molitov cocktail. beat that level and get to the barns level. play through the entire level and get to then end. Go into the safe room but do not close the door. Get all the AI guys inside of it and leave the safe room and close the door. Horde after horde will come after you, or they will just bunch up in front of the safe house door trying to get inside to kill your AI buddies. Eventually you will see a clown mixed in with the mass of zombies at the safehouse door trying to get inside. You being behind them just toss a cocktail at them all and you will get this achievement, just make sure there is a clown in the mass of zombies when you do it.

Simple way to do is in Dark Carnival's Finale, after you set the stage to alert chopper. Hordes of zombies start coming, use the molotovs and gas cans to your advantage. Unlike other stages you will have plenty of molotovs and clowns coming.

This is doable on Dark Carnival < The Barns. When you get to the end of this chapter and you have to fight the horde before the gate will open, continue you down that stretch of alley after the gate until your outside the safe house. At this point, an infinite spawn of common infected will spawn. Once you see a clown leading a wave of zombies, throw a molotov and it should net you the achievement. If not, they will never stop spawning so just keep trying. Here is a video to help:

This achievement takes some patience, you may be able to replicate the video or you can use do this on the Finale of "Dark Carnival". On the Finale make your way to the stage, set off all the lights and make sure you pick up a Molotov from the surrounding area. Get onto the stage and stand near the PA system you use to set off the music.

You will hear the horde and if you look to the opposite site of the stage you will see the horde coming up the stairs near the PA speakers. Throw the Molotov behind the speakers and down towards the stairs. Normally there will be a clown running with the group, if this doesn't work keep trying.
