How to unlock the Intermediate Zombie Hunter achievement in Lollipop Chainsaw - Definitive Guide

The score to beat is 161,100.

Here's a cheap way to rack up points in Chapter 2. Not long after the basketball mini-game, you'll come to an area with 3 students being attacked by Zombie cheerleaders. After completing that, you'll need to use a bounce board (where you spam B and then follow through with a couple QTE buttons) to reach an upper ledge. You get 600 points for doing this, but you can jump down and repeat it over and over for another 600 each time.

I tried the level multiple times and never beat Dad's score, but then discovered this trick to pretty much guarantee it... with a little extra time put in. Like all the "beat dad's score" achievements, it won't unlock until the end of the level, after the final score (including penalties) is calculated.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they fix this in an update, though -- especially if the score-padding can be done in a leaderboard run (haven't tried it).

In all of these, I'm playing on Normal difficult and having little trouble. Have everything upgraded because the last combo you get is great for ranking mode. Lots of sparkle!

As of June 25th The springboard exploit still works. When I got to that point I had about 95,000 points. I repeated the exploit until I hit 155,000 and finished the level with a score of like 216,000. Achievement unlocked. Great guide thumbs up from me.

At this point, it's doubtful they're going to patch it. The only reason would have been to prevent padded leaderboard placements, but I think the time to worry about that iis probably passed.

Couldn't have gotten it without this trick. Did it to 120K and still only had 172K at the end. (Guess I didn't get many zombie medals)

Gonna try this trick and rank up points that way... At this point, zombie baseball is by far the hardest thing to get past. Especially when you have auto lock, point at a zombie ahead of you then it shoots your crosshairs to the other side of the screen. F**kin' frustrating!

Thanks for this, till working as of 27/11/13

An easy way to get 4 QTE's each time is to spam the pause button on and off as soon as you leave the vault box. This will allow you to see what button is next, just tap it in between pause's and you should get 3000 points per jump.

Can't believe it but this trick still works, unlocked the achievement using this guide this past November 14 of 2016 by the way one of the guys that you rescue in this scene says the word Easteregg when he is rescued, dunno if this is a reference that you can use this trick here shock

I can confirm this method still works as of September 2018. I'd also recommend other folks use FuzzyFridayz method of mashing the pause button while jumping. It's very doable to earn 3000 per jump, cutting down on the amount of time needed to grind.

I was nervous about points and just wanted this achievement done, so I ground out points from 65000 starting to 120000 finishing. Took about 20 minutes.

Here are some extra details.

QTE 1: 200 Points
QTE 2: 400 Points
QTE 3: 800 Points

That's potentially 1400 points in one jump. I'd say try for the 1st 2 and then mash A. I was able to get it 7 times.

My theory is that it is possible to get a 4th QTE for an extra 1600 points but it would have to be a sequence of consecutive letters such as AAAA which is extremely unlikely.

For those of you wondering how long to exploit this you can use my experience as a reference. I earned 80,440 points after the trampoline. That means if I had only earned 80,660 before progressing past the trampoline I would not have wasted so much time. That was just my personal experience. Take from it what you will.

I did this and it totally worked for me as of 7/25/12. Just be aware that when you do the bounce board, it isn't an auto 600 points for the QTE. After you spam "B" to jump, it gives you random buttons to hit. You get 200 pts for the first button (if successful) and 400 pts for the second (if successful).To boost my score, I did this probably 60 times. I often only got the first button thereby giving me 200 pts. Sometimes, I was quick enough to get a prompt for a 3rd button, but never hit it. I would assume this gets you another 800 pts, but I don't know for sure.

I had a rough time reaching the 161,000 that dad set for me. Mainly because there aren't as many big clusters of baddies as there are on the other level and it gave me a difficult time getting Sparkle Hunts.

Tried twice before I realized that you can rack a good amount of points during the basketball mini-game.

You have 2 minutes and start off @ 40 points. Do not kill the center and let him block all (or most) of the shots. You can use the first minute or so to kill zombies (which still give you 500 pts each). When I reached a good amount of points I went ahead and killed the blocker and finished up the basketball game.

* Posted this after I saw Wyndo's Solution, wish I had seen it earlier, lol. Will leave it up just in case.

Along with the other solutions, one way to rack up points is to do well during Zombie Baseball. Each triple kill Sparkle Hunting is worth about 5000 points so you can boost your score quite a bit here.

This might not be for everyone since I've been seeing a lot of people complaining that this section is hard, but if you are calm and get headshots a lot it's not too bad.

I'd recommend turning off auto-aim for the Chainsaw Blaster in general, but specifically for the baseball as it's really erratic when you aim sometimes..

Please refer to "n00b Zombie Hunter" for details.

If you're having trouble beating Dad's score for this stage, due to the amount of zombies in this stage being significantly less than the other stages, you might want to up your score via medals collected instead through Nick Tickets and abusing Nick Shake. Note that during the final section where you have to protect Nick with your newly earned Chainsaw Blaster as he tries to earn homeruns, you can still earn Sparkle Huntings by killing the zombies in rapid succession.

Dad's Score to Beat (Stage 2):

  • Time: 00:26:39
  • Score: 161,100
  • Sparkle Hunting: 20
  • Zombie Medals: 635
  • Platinum Medals: 14

Bonus Requirements:

Stage 2-1

  • Sparkle Hunting - 4 Decaps
  • No Damage: Football Zombie
  • No Overheat Experienced


Stage 2-2

  • All Classmates Rescued
  • No Mistakes: Nick Zombie Cheer
  • No Damage: 4F
  • No Damage: 2F


Stage 2-3

  • Speedy Finish: Z-Basketball
  • No Overheat Experienced
  • No Damage: Gym


Stage 2-4

  • All Classmates Rescued
  • No Mistakes: Nick Zombie Cheer
  • No Overheat Experienced
  • 3 Headshots


Stage 2-5 (Note: Only during boss battle)

  • Lucky Nick Not Used
  • Lollipop Not Used
  • Speedy Finish

Beat Dad's Score for Stage 2, and the trophy will unlock shortly after the statistics screen at the end of the stage.
