Steam Summer Camp Helpers!

Seeing as some may need others to help or people may need advice on how to do some of these special summer achievements I thought why not make a thread where people can ask for help to get tickets and such.

Im quite happy to help others with these and have helped a few already

Im open to help with TF2's Escape the Heat, and Lead & Gold's Summer hits tickets.

here is some advice for the ticket on BIT.TRIP Beat

Set the Difficulty to NORMAL this is a must then in transition mode just dont fuck up untill after the first few colored dots are bounced and you will get that one done!

For those with Hamilton's Great Adventure (Amazon Jungle Bonus Level 12)

If anyone needs a profile to comment on heres mine:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/Kouen

I would comment....but I need to buy a freaking game.
Time to buy a generic gift card.

Ill expand on the Lead and Gold one, Many think its bugged

What you should do is this

Set up a PUBLIC game not Private and invite your friend to it, The Bridge level works well for this

Both play sniper and bring your flags with you trust me makes this much faster

one player aim at the others head and wait there is a charge bar that will charge on the bottom part of the cross hair when its full headshot them for a max damage insta kill. repeat till you get the achive then do it again in for the other player :D

This does NOT work on a Private game or against Bots, I can help anyone out on this if they need it :D

Just letting you guys know that I'll probably be doing the circus achievements for Killing Floor to get that special steampunk costume. Most of them seem relatively easy, though, so I'll probably be able to do them on my own.

I couldn't use the service if I wanted to :P.

Me and my steam group are doing the summer camp activities too. Finished about 6 or so, don't have too many of the games they're asking about. The most boring one so far was the Magika one, have to set up a game for VS. and then killing mimics till you get the rain spell. It does make it easier if you disable everything else weapon and spell wise except for the group you want (Rain comes in a package with a few other spells, shouldn't take too long) and then just cast it, and every time the spell fades (since it's only a 4 button spell if you count the spacebar, it wont take long to set up) just cast it again.

Just to expand on that Rain when you got the book is Water, Water, Fire

Edit: easy one today :D Write a recommendation on a game you own!

Edit 2: Jolly Rover - Fairly easy to get the ticket you need to...

Spoiler warning:

go to the cooks room on the boat at the start you will have to do this anyways its part of the story, put the fish on the other hook then use the oiled rag on the window and open it the cook will scoot by and close it leaving a pool, get peppercorns next to the stove and put some on the rum and open the window again!

and your done!

Edit 3: Super Meat Boy - You must clear Hell, both light and dark world The sum of your best times in Hell must be less than 500 Seconds in total

Or! if you want it fast:

here is the file to get only the medium rare.

Here is what it does:
- Only affect score on world 4.
- Don't affect any achievement. Only the medium rare one.
- Don't overwrite your times on any world, only on the 4th.

Get this file:

Code:

---

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M2CDSFVL

---

go here: Steam\SteamApps\Common\super meat boy\UserData

Now backup your save and then copy the downloaded one into the folder.

Start up super meat boy go to the main menu and BOOM! unlocked, then you can exit and restore your save!

UPDATE:

Yes, I know I shouldn't doublepost but this is also a shameless bump, so there. :P

Just finished the Trine achievement for today's batch of tickets, simple as all.

Achievement: Summer Dip - stay underwater for 40 seconds without taking damage
Play through the game until you hit level 5, the Crystal Caverns. Play through that level until you hit the first waterfall area, then dive into the water. Stay submerged as one of your characters until his breath is nearly out, then swap to the next. Your characters don't share breathbars y'see, so swapping through your characters should be perfectly fine to get you the achievement. There are no hazards underwater there, though when I played, a skeleton did try to divebomb me, so be careful for death from above :P

EDIT:

Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter

Achievement: Swimming Instructor - Drown an Enemy.
Simple as. Start the first level (on tourist level I couldn't get an enemy to spawn, so play on a higher setting. Normal did fine for me). Immediately go up the starting ramp, into the temple/Tomb. Once you enter the building (after killing one of those one-eyed freaks :P), the first room you enter contains a pool. Collect the mini armour bonuses directly next to the door to spawn a bomb-thrower. Hide behind a pillar until you can see him walking very close to the edge of the pool. Then walk just behind him. He'll lob a bomb onto you, knocking himself into the water. Then just wait a couple seconds, he'll drown, yay ticket.

Also made a screenshot of the now drowned opponent: Clicky

Thar ye go, those're the two tickets (3 with screenshot) I could manage with today's deals.

EDIT EDIT: Kouen will be posting a video of the exact procedure later on. At least, his interpretation of it. I naturally think I'm vastly superior to him, as the one and only greatest scientist set out to conquer the world, but I suppose he should get some attention for it.

How I Did the Serious Sam HD Ticket! Level 1 Medium Difficulty
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48BP1rmFQCQ

Edit: Homefront done. Fairly simple Complete Chapter 2, do it on Normal to be safe though =)

Edit 2: Zombie Driver Simple really use the flamethrower weapon on 20 dogs in Slaughter mode

Edit 3: My mate erbkaiser passed me some tips!

1 2 3 Kick it -- found the best song for this one to be Still Alive (J.C. Mix) from the firts Portal soundtrack. Easy slow song with enough points. Note: achievement text in Steam is wrong for that one... you need 75% not 50% Any song, 75% and 50000> points

Polynomial achievement -- Just put difficulty on none, fly close to a sun, and keep shooting.. Swirl around the sun a bit while shooting so the rays go everywhere, once an enemy gets close to it it will be shot.

Edit 4: Suspect BIT.TRIP Runner

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...nFreak/Bit.jpg

and And Yet It Moves

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...eak/Andyet.jpg

will be on tickets tomorrow :D both had sneak updates!

Some help for today's tickets:

And Yet It Moves - obvious where it is possible... 5th checkpoint or so of last level of world 1. Make sure the bats follow until you see the water drops.

Beat Hazard - make sure you play Ultra, then do a boss rush. After the worms and starfish you get some ships, make sure just to blast their wings off and not their cores.

Hey mate Welcome to EP!

Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood: Forget this one atm the game is broken and the ticket achievement is not unlocking correctly as of time of posting. many are complaining about it and even ive been affected by the 2:32 left lock up bug :(

UPDATE: They Fixed it when I next went in and killed 1 chicken the achievement unlocked


Nation Red: Start a single player game.

Getting the perks is the easy part (remember there are other perk modes apart from Random..)

Remote Detonator comes with 2 grenades so you'll need to find four more packs of 3 grenades each.

You can explode the grenades in the meantime to help you, although starting to explode them before you have those 4 perks probably isn't a good idea

Free Play is generally considered more difficult than Barricade mode; depending on your luck with how quickly grenades drop you'll probably need to survive to at least around Xp level 15.

Barricade Mode could be easier for this achievement but the downside is those sentry guns may kill zombies you're not looking at and if they drop a crate you might miss it. In Barricade Mode, make sure you keep moving and checking the map for those crates


Notes: Poker Night at the inventory Just received a mysterious mini update, could come up as a ticket one, while Bit Trip Runner didn't today it has got a new achievement so maybe its for later on but I was however right on the money for "and yet it moves" :D

Look who called it xD Just after posting Poker Night got another update this time adding this achievement

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...Capture-40.jpg

Thanks for the info in the thread, really helped get some of these :)

BTW, noticed the sneaky little updates for 'The Wonderful End of the World', 'Poker Night at the Inventory', and 'RUSH'?

They all have new achievements and probably will come up in the coming days on sale.

If I'm reading this daft thing on Steam right, Rush also got a miniupdate today, so perhaps we'll see a ticket for that tomorrow. I suspect we will :)

Aye, Just got this Ultra isnt needed but is highly recommended i waited for the twin ship bosses

If you guys should be able to handle the achievement for Killing Floor rather easily. You pretty much just have to aim for the teeth, or just between the eyes. If anyone needs help with it I'll gladly jump on and help out

Just finished the RUSH - Solar Flare achievement. The biggest issue for me was to damn well FIND the level, and this video provides its location for those who aren't sure. :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M1ldrB84e0

Follow this blueprint, and presto - ticket. Also, free extra levels with portal humour. Yaywin. :P

EDIT: Not my vid. I'm not quite smart enough for this game, it would appear. That or I'm thinking in the wrong way. Or I'm too impatient.

...let's stop right there before I destroy my ego any further.

Your looking to shoot the monkey mob with a crossbow :P This can be done on easy too btw

Garshap: The Monster Slayer: Level 2 about half way into the level

When you get on the raft you need to interact with the pole on it with the interact key (default 'e'). Each push of the key will move the raft slightly forward and also lifts it up on the water. If you stop pressing the key the raft will slowly sink into the water. If your head is covered by water you die.

During the raft section you will be attacked by multiple enemies on a few occasions. Whenever enemies attack press the movement keys to let go of the pole and then press the interact key ('e') to do the finishing move on an enemy. This throws him in the water. Do this to all of the enemies. After throwing them all off the raft, quickly continue keeping the raft on the water and moving forward.

In the middle of the raft section there is a part where you need to get off the raft, kill some enemies and push 2 levers to open a gate. You will get the achievement on the second part of the raft section, so don't panic if you hit the gate and don't get the achievement before that.

Spiral Knights: Get a Firecracker - Since I have no interest in playing this game I just bought an overpriced one on there auction house and will trade it to someone for them to get the achievement as long as they agree to trade it back to me (to help others)

Thanks for the information!

Poker Night at the inventory: well this one is just plain luck but shouldn't take too long to get

Left 4 Dead 2: Play the Beta Level (Cold Stream) on EASY, on the 4th part make sure to collect a PIPE BOMB and CHAINSAW, at the fork in the underground tunnel take the stairs (right) when your up and making your way to the helicopter Throw the pipe bomb to distract the horde, then run like mad as you switch to the chainsaw, then chainsaw through everything and get into the helicopter. watch out for the tank that seems to always spawn on your left as you get to the tower

Winter Voices: Start a new game make it a weaver and set these stats it will make this easy as hell

See Here

Then on the 3rd battle (when you get out of the house and finish talking to the "memory" of your father you will see a yellow square, first Detect traps then head towards it then head to the exit! Simple as that you shouldnt worry to hard about your health the stat points should take care of it, but remember to push especially if they box you in when you get to the yellow square

Valve's talking about releasing Dead Air from L4d1 for L4d2 through Steam if 20,000 users can get the Crossing the Stream achievement on L4d2 by this upcoming monday. Also definitely worth a try if you haven't played Cold Stream in a while due to the fact of it having been changed dramatically and the new changes are freaking awesome.

I Want to see Valve actually Forfill there promises on L4D1 xD all there doing these days is plundering its levels and porting em over, i want some more L4D1 action the L4D2 survivors arnt as likable in my opinion at least

Day of Defeat Source: Well your supposed to win a round on 2 maps Kalt and Colmar but the very few servers that run it are always in a constant stalemate so getting this ticket may prove to be more trouble then its worth... In 2 hours i finally got Colmar's one >.<

Just a brief note... if you get the error 'Oops, there was a problem trying to claim your prize. Please try again later.' when you try to redeem a prize, it means you already own that DLC somehow. I forgot I'd already bought the Defense Grid DLC before :/

As for today's tickets: the X3 one can be done in the starting solar system, just avoid any defenders.
Serious Sam 2nd Encounter: at the start of level 1, immediately dive down to the lit spot at the bottom.

Hydrophobia is quickly picked up through normal gameplay, using a grenade on explosive boxes.

Gas Canister things on the walls worked for me it also seems you dont have to get all 3 in 1 hit too :D done it early in to Act 2 just after shutting down the cyclo converters (1st lot) on my way to shut off the gas

Cant Get the Audiosurf one to unlock no matter what I do, Verified the game files, Reinstalled it from scratch, Restarted Steam, Restarted the whole pc, Done it with Pointman beginner and Pro multiple times it refuses to unlock >.<

Wonderful end of the world is rather simple but can be a little annoying, Restart your save and do the game in one sitting, meaning get A (not A- must be A or A+) on every level to unlock the final one then do that one too and your done, The Internet Cafe and Town one can be a pain, the Cafe Especially xD

Final 24 hours to get and spend your tickets! after this time you cant claim anything and your tickets are wiped so spend em if you got em! (the DLC's and other prizes will remain yours however)

My Results:

While there is some time left And I have 3 possible games to get tickets on im relaxing now on it since the last 3 are too much of a pain, aaaaaaaaaa! and Audiosurf over the top on difficulty and have too many bugs (Respectively) and Day of Defeat Source is far too much effort (2 hours to get half the achievement)

In the end:

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...ak/Tickets.jpg

And Im happy with that, it was enough to get the free game and DLC's for the games I owned

Redeemed:

Homefront DLC
Monday Night Combat Items
AAAAAAAAA! Reckless Disregard for Gravity! DLC
Killing Floor Characters
Delve Deeper DLC
Zombie Driver DLC
Winter Voices DLC
Magicka DLC
Serious Sam Characters
Beat Hazard Gear
Team Fortress 2 Gear

Im Still open to help others if they need it! Better hurry though 8 hours to go
