How to unlock the Deliverance achievement in RAGE - Definitive Guide
The mini game is essentially a version of Simon Says. You will listen to the man play some notes (using the A, B, X and Y buttons of your controller) and you must repeat his pattern.
Make it past 5 rounds and the achievement is yours. If you're not good with these types of memory games, you'll have enough time to quickly write down the pattern on a pad before playing it yourself. Plus the pattern continually builds on itself in later rounds so you can simply add on to what you already knew from before. If you mess up or restart, you are greeted with a completely new pattern.
The game is entirely random, and based on memory. It will show a board with the four buttons A, X, B, and Y. He will play notes and those buttons will flash. All you have to do is play the same buttons as him past 5 rounds and you get the achievement.
Now, I don't have a very good memory. I failed it on round 3 consecutively. The good news is the patterns continue from the last round. Slider257 suggested writing down the patterns, but later in the rounds they get faster and faster. When I played it, I just recorded the patterns with my iPod and played them back to write them down. While recording, I managed to get the achievement first try. Good luck!
The good news is that since each round is derivative of the first, you just have to add the next three button presses to what you already wrote down.
The dude playing the banjo DISAPPEARS!! After the mission where you plant the explosives on Authority Bridge, this guy is GONE. Bw sure to keep an early SubwayTown saved game or get this one done early. I missed it. Oh well, I don't have the patience to play this game again.
I picked up my phone and every round i recorded it so i could look back at what the guy played. You need to sit closer to the tv with most phones to get a clear image.
Now comes the fun stuff. I will try to write this down as simple as possible. Every round will give you a few more notes on top of the ones you played the round before that.
REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN KEEP PRESSING PAUZE AND PLAY ON YOUR PHONE REAL QUICK TO FREEZE THE IMAGE SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT NOTE FOR NOTE(OR BUTTON FOR BUTTON...WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT HEHE).
For example :
(these are btw not the buttons to push, you will most likely have another pattern):
-Round 1:
xxy xxy
This round is split up into two smaller rounds. The first one will give you 3 buttons and the second one will give you 3 more.
-Round 2:
xxy xxy bba
Notice that in this round there will be 3 more buttons to push. So if you recorded it write down the last 3 to what you already had written down.
-Round 3:
xxy xxy bba axx
Notice that in this round there will be 3 more buttons to push. So if you recorded it write down the last 3 to what you already had written down.
-Round 4:
xxy xxy bba axx bby
Notice that in this round there will be 3 more buttons to push. So if you recorded it write down the last 3 to what you already had written down.
-Round 5:
xxy xxy bba axx bby ay
Notice that in this round there will be 2 more buttons to push. So if you recorded it write down the last 2 to what you already had written down.
Take make a quick summary:
Round 1: xxy xxy (2 smaller rounds to write down)
Round 2: xxy xxy bba (3 more buttons)
Round 3: xxy xxy bba axx (3 more buttons)
Round 4: xxy xxy bba axx bby (3 more buttons)
Round 5: xxy xxy bba axx bby ay (2 more buttons)
I hope this will help people that are having problems getting this achievement.
The achievement is for completing all rounds of the mini game 'Strum'. This is found if you head directly from the garage in subway town and up to the furthest steps to the second floor. At the top of the steps you will find a topless gentleman sitting on some crates with a banjo. He will play a combination of four notes to you which you must remember and play back to him.
The best way I have found to do this (as there is no time limit) is to get your mobile phone ready and simply hit record and video him playing the notes. Then you can simply play back the video on your phone and play the notes replicating what you see on screen!
Only the first round, which is simple, has two sections to it. So he will play notes, then when you replicate he will immediately play the next set of notes without a pause. Don't worry as you move to the next round there is a pause between each section allowing you to get your chosen recording device ready!
Do you know how to do "Through Fire and Flames" on Expert Difficulty in Guitar Hero 3? Then this will be a piece of cake for you. For the rest of us, it might take a couple of tries to unlock this. In Strum you play a banjo, and to advance you have to repeat the notes the banjo plays. There are four strings on the instrument, where each string represents one of the four main Xbox 360 buttons.
Pro tip: Each button represent a unique tone, so if you manage to put a tone to each button, you will have a much easier task at hands.
Strum is a mini-game which is found on the top floor of subway town, strum is a minigame where you play a banjo and repeat the A.I's played notes. The computer will play notes, then you must play the notes back using , , and . If you do this by memory it is hard to remember all notes in the last round, thankfully you can write down the notes on paper as there is no time limit! Use this method if you don't want to waste time on this mini-game. At the end of each note that appears, pause the game and then write the note down on a piece of paper. Rinse and repeat until you've completed all the rounds.
