How to unlock the Crypt-O-Currency achievement in Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse - Definitive Guide

Not a solution but some tips from my experience on this - farming the start of level 3 with the three prisoners is by far the quickest way to obtain this. (every 20 brains = 1%)
I strongly recommend doing this when you have 2-3 hours spare and knocking this out in one sitting. (restarting the level instead of loading checkpoint is recommending to limit crashes) credit : JeremyHBPhD
I was having problems with the tracker locking up and not progressing - I believe and it's only my opinion that if you back out to the main menu or shut the console down, it does not save all of your progress.

For example, if your stuck @ 75% like I was, it is possible that you will have to eat another 1504 brains for it to start registering on the tracker again, at least that is what happened to me.

Good luck.

Edit 12/04/21 : It's been suggested that by completing the level and backing out at the start of the next level saves your progress. Maybe worth doing this if your game crashes frequently. - Thanks xxxIsaiahxxx for this additional tip.

Game crashed after 2 hours of grinding. Had to restart. Maybe it's best to finish the level after a certain amount of time? Game crashes semi-frequently on OG One.

Yup crashed again, and I again lost my progress. I did finally get it though. I set a timer on my phone for around 30-40 minutes then when it went off I completed the level. Quit out of the next level, then selected The Slammer again and repeated. It did save my progress.

I had it crash on me at 98%. I noticed I had better luck on the game not just crashing when restarting the level rather then loading the check point. Definitely one of the more annoying glitches to run into

Stuck on 40% locked up tracker, not sure what to do to get it working again, tried restarting the level instead of reloading checkpoint, finished the level just in case it kick started it, no luck. I’m not sure what’s best as nothings working now

@ DaanHimself182 - sucks man - I know your pain on this one - my only advice on this is to pretend your starting from scratch (0), allow 3 hours and keep replaying the 3rd level - just keep going - I was stuck @ 75% (-1504 kills) and my tracker started working again after around 2hrs of bashing the 3rd level - (my kill progress obviously got wiped somehow and only starting working again when I had eaten over another 1504 brains)
Your @ 40% so roughly 800 brains - it should start tracking again one you've re-done 820

@ Captain Ice Pop, Thank you so much for your advice (it’s good to get some clarity from someone who’s experienced it first hand), I will start the long grind again, just have to find the time to do it now! You’re the man!

^^good luck^^ - once the tracker starts again, be sure to finish it off & pop the achievement before you shut down....or at least finish the level to save your progress (although this is still not advisable & not guaranteed to work)

I used @ZaveGaming87 method above and it worked well up until I hit 80% on my achievement tracker. It then would not budge at all.

I decided to play for 40 minutes straight which definitely would’ve been a 15% increase at least on my tracker and it still did not move. So I then completed the whole level and this time I didn’t quit at the hand & vent section. I quit when the next level loaded and after killing 3 people, I reloaded the slammer and it immediately started going up again.

If anyone has it stop randomly I’d suggest trying that.

I wonder if that works for other achievements. The progress for possessing all enemy types is stuck for me.

Not encountered the game crashing at all, but the progress bar has randomly stopped at 92%. Been trying a few of the methods suggested here but nothing seems to work. Annoyingly this is the last achievement for me to get.

I strongly recommend following @ZaveGaming87's strategy of saving your progress every 30 minutes or so. Mine got stuck at 89% so I had to redo it all from 24% because I never saved my progress

In my experience I didn't have to finish the level for it to save I just played up until the hand and the vent part. I paused quit and back to select level. I ​picked the slammer and when it loaded instead of putting me back to the start it put me at the hand and the vent part. So then I pressed pause and restart level. Haven't had one issue doing it like this yet and my tracker is working perfectly.

I have been farming for roughly 30 mins and then getting to the hand and vent save. Like the other guy said set a timer on your phone for 30 mins and go get your save. Better safe then sorry.


Edit - My game ended up crashing so I had to go to home screen and quit out of game. I booted game back up went back into the slammer level and after 4 kills the achievement tracker moved. I didn't even get to save it.

Achievement Requisite - You must eat 2005 brains

You can eat brains when the enemy has been weakened enough. The cn_Y button prompt will show up on the screen to advise that you can grab the victim and eat their brain. The screen will flash white to notify you of a brain successfully eaten.

By far the easiest difficulty to complete this challenge on is "easy", this will allow you to tank most enemies and slash your way to brain-eating. (If you are interested in enemy HP, see the bottom of this guide :) )

This achievement can be done over the course of multiple playthroughs as the achievement is accumulative. I would advise playing through the game casually once and sparing no one from brain-eating. Chances are this is the last achievement you need thus meaning you have at least completed the game 3 times (Casual Play, Fast Zombies, and Stubbs Otaku). If not, you have no need to worry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*METHOD 1*- Mostly Safe

The safest way to go about getting this achievement is to set aside time in your day to play through the game from start to finish in one sitting, if this is your first playthrough it will net you approx 20-30% of the way there (IF you make sure to eat everyone's brain), this one is a GRIND.. Completing the game in one sitting is the best way to avoid achievement-staggering glitches such as your counter percentage getting stuck (This can still happen but is less likely)

**IF your game crashes, just load it back up and press continue, starting a new game after a crash CAN stop the tracker**
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*METHOD 2* - Risky

If you would like to get through this grind the fastest way, the best way of doing it is by loading up mission 3 "The Slammer" and simply eating the first 3 prisoners repeatedly.

**Make sure to press RESTART LEVEL rather than restart from the last checkpoint to ensure that the tracker saves progress as much as possible.** credit : JeremyHBPhD

The issue with this method is that the tracker can break very easily if the EXACT same people are eaten repeatedly in a short amount of time. IF your tracker gets stuck and stops progressing, you WILL have to start eating 2005 brains all over again (Why this happens is unknown), so if you had eaten 1000 brains, you will need to eat 1000 again for the tracker to continue progressing.

**If your tracker gets stuck with this method (like mine), you MUST complete the rest of the "Slammer" mission and eat a few people on the next mission
credit : Its Dan**

After eating a couple you MUST start a new game completely and revert to *METHOD 1* until it starts progressing again. (Eating more of the same prisoners' brains is less likely to count and can break the tracker more, the game will stop seeing them as victims)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**NOTE** On the final boss fight, you can brain farm the civilians that spawn in the rooms behind as they don't count as the same people, HOWEVER, DO NOT USE THE CHECKPOINT OR RESTART SYSTEM, just keep running back and forth between the rooms (If you die, do not keep farming and complete the game)


For some help and general speediness, I will outline how many attacks each NPC will take until they are grabbable (Note* some of Stubbs' random attacks will reduce the number of hits by 1, especially the uppercut, the hits outlined will be 'usual' amount)

*EASY DIFFICULTY*

    Civilian - Grabbed instantly
      Beat Cop - 2 Hits
        Detective Cop - 3 Hits
          Musket Militia - 2 Hits
            Shotgun Militia - 3 Hits
              White Coat Scientist - 2 Hits
                Push Gun Scientist - 2 Hits
                  Green Coat Scientist - 2-3 Hits
                    Red Beret Soldier - 3 Hits
                      Green Hat Solider - 3 Hits
                        Barber Shop Quartet - 4-5 Hits

                        GOOD LUCK Y'ALL, I tried my best the keep this brief but any chance to avoid the glitchy suffering of this achievement is worth the read! :)

                        I found the perfect place for myself to farm brains.
                        The third level "Prison" is the very beginning, when three defenseless people appear in front of you.
                        Eat -> Load the checkpoint -> Eat (repeat until the trophy drops)
                        I beat the game three times before I started farming purposefully, once on normal difficulty, a second time at speedrun (with virtually no brains) and the last time on maximum difficulty, where I already ate whenever possible. The farming itself took about 1.5 hours.
                        The counter in the game is global, no reboots reset it or reset it to zero, I checked it personally, so there is no need to complete the level. BUT! I advise you to take breaks in farming every hour, as there is a chance that the game will crash, and along with it, progress on the trophy. Some Xbox players have encountered this problem.

                        The longest trophy in the game. There are no statistics in the game, so you can’t see how many brains have already been eaten. The trophy must be farmed blindly until it drops. It took me 3.5 playthroughs to do this. One, at an insane level of difficulty - brains were eaten sparingly, other abilities were often used. The other, for speed, used little brainpower, mostly ran through levels, ignoring enemies. Well, during 1.5 playthroughs I tried to eat as much brains as possible.
                        You can farm individual levels. There are a lot of enemies at level 2 - about 70. At the final boss, people run out endlessly, but after about 50, their spawn rate noticeably decreases. Since it is unknown when exactly everything gets counted as a trophy, it is better to play the levels to the end.
