ABOUT achievement "Ultimate Collab". After you kinda run out of options and Zebruh's like "yeah i wish you could convince me" - You need to give Zebruh Xefro's mic, after that talk to Marvus and the option to rat Chixie will show up <3 letting you all know bc i had to go around a lot trying to find out

[Bronco.]

Do you guys know the exact system to getting all the deaths in the trial?? do you have to do it all a specific way? if so how? i'm trying to get the born to die achievement

[Pathetical]

Oh yea thx mate :D

[Diabeto]

You can check other achievement guides for the complete breakdown, but during the trial break you have to accuse Lanque and have her talk to you in private

[Pathetical]

I was just finishing up and right now I'm trying to get the Born to Die achievement and I have a quick question. How do you get thrown off the train? Thanks!

[Pathetical]

Thank you this really helps me! :D

ShakurasEnder: Sorry for taking so long, but the game gives you a choice between the two. I don't think it's possible to miss either of them.

Where do you find the candy corn horns? I could only find the traffic cone horns

[Peenuts]

Tysm! Although the Court Case endings seem difficult for me to finish correctly I'll prolly get them all soon

[Diabeto]
