[YanmegaPro]

Love the video hate the emo music.

[fregley60]

you sound like napoleon dynimite

[TheFireman009]

lol louis had white hands and hes black

[Gtarules123456789]

Its really hard to get nothing special for me.

[trimaican12]

hmm u make it look easy but im worrying if i try this the A.I's will get hit by the tank bcuz they wanna play Mr.Hero ._. but good vid tho!

[iiGalaxiesxx]

Wow I get tank spawnes in those possible spots almst everytime and you dont are you Chuck Norris

[jaydraven1976]

[Ghostdad67]

@megatables

I do install all my games on the hard drive, but it doesn't make much of a difference. I sped up the time during the load times to make it easier for people to watch. No sense in making it longer than it has to be.

[MrCuddels1]

They can spawn in the saferoom too

[iheartkyo22]

admittedly i cheated a little with this achievement- i just waited till i went idle and the AI or second player heals me, it somehow doesnt count as healing. but doing it for real is pretty hardcore man, nice vid

[VvLelouchvV]

good job with that it takes skill and luck and nice song choice

[VvLelouchvV]

nice job at this you are very good and was very lucky lol

[loquenderomax102]

what do full captions tell me?

[JesseChep05]

@loquenderomax102 If you put full captions on, it will show the dialogue the survivors have with each other. It will also tell you when a horde is coming or if a certain special infected is near you and is about to attack.

[loquenderomax102]

@JesseChep05 thanks

[JesseChep05]

@loquenderomax102 No problem.

[1211BlackJack]

Damn ur king with witches.

[kevin1995ish]

i can´t watch the 3. part :(

[CaptainNarwhal1997]

Try getting this achievement in l4d2.

[AYoshiTale]

Why are the achievements in L4D harder than L4D2? Cept the obvious few of course such as: The Real Deal, Still Something To Proove and some other ones.

[RealGateGuardian]

So if the witch slashes a survive despitre her targeting you: YOU CAN STILL get the achievement?

[CWinchester]

An easier way is with a second controller playing Versus. That way your guest will be infected and there won't be any special infected to deal damage to the survivors.

[cobbernatory]

@CWinchester thank u u fucking legend

[CWinchester]

@cobbernatory No problem, I wasted hours on this achievement with a group of four. The next day they figured out you could do it this way.

[GoneGuru99]

i don't think i'll ever even bother going for this considering it's just so risky and it requires so much luck that I'll just end up in frustration when I fail.

[jaydraven1976]

@GoneGuru99

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't frustrated most of the time, the achievement isn't even worth that much for the trouble. It's more for the perfectionists out there.

[GoneGuru99]

@jaydraven1976 I try to be an achievement perfectionist, and I have an account where im only going to have games in my history where I have all achievements,

so I think I'll leave L4D1 out. Also, nice Elfenlied display pic.

[burnedice98]

U were lucky with that witch

[jaydraven1976]

@burnedice98

Hell yeah I was, I was actually lucky with 2 witches on that run.

[Z0Mb1eKi11Er115]

For unbreakable, u cant even get healed by pills too or not?

[fenderbullet150]

@Z0Mb1eKi11Er115 you can use pills:)

if my merory is correct

[Anchovelli97]

Hi i uploaded one video so far on youtube and i was wondering what do you use to film your videos?

[Raoul1311]

@Anchovelli97 fraps

[Anchovelli97]

@Raoul1311 Cool thanks how much would it cost to buy or is a software i have to download?

[Raoul1311]

@Anchovelli97 i downloaded ilegal version 3.0.3 of fraps

[TIVIS014]

I got attacked by a tank right before the train! lol i already lost the achievement for not being attacked by special infected by then but still it sucked.

[TheVashfan12349]

i know all of the tank spawn points in this walkthrough they always spawn in my game at everypoint

[94gogetass]

you can do this on crash course its more easy trust me

[cfcseanybhoy]

dude yoo are the best ever i got nothing special unbreakable and stand tall thanks man

[chadmcbride1]

your a champion witch crowner

[christiger11]

what is the name of the first song?!

[Stonkish]

Follow this guide really helps in getting this achievement but as jaydraven said, luck plays a big part in getting this achievement. But after 60-70 tries I finally managed to get Nothing special. :D

[christiger11]

what is the name and artist of the 1st song?

[cfcseanybhoy]

@christiger11 Liars inc By Freakhouse

[pumkinboy1]

No, I wasted alot of time trying it that way only to be disappointed.

[checkers307]

Well, if you just play the crash course campain it would be a lot easier considering how short it is..

[christiger11]

What is the name of the first song and it's artist?

[christiger11]

What's the first song and artist?

[laharl1298]

nope, only UNBREAKABLE is possible for me to achieve on the pc version...

[gutispk]

if the tank trows something on me, it will count as damage?

[pumkinboy1]

Yes

[VideoGameAddict117]

Does using pills affect this achievement?

[bubblegumicecream00]

@VideoGameAddict117 no only if you heal yourself or your teammate will heal u

[00Neven]

Pls could you tell me the songs name and the artist. Btw tnx for the vid got it now: It wasn't easy but... I got it!!! tnx

[bluefiredom123]

what songs do u use through this campain in the vid

[TheMarioBros123]

Also just of Curiosity

getting hit by a tank doesn't count as a hit by an infected right?

[kmgcatcousin]

He specifically mentions that it does, only getting grazed by the witch and getting vomited on by a boomer don't count, as well as rescuing your friend quickly from a hunter.

[pumkinboy1]

yes it does

[pumkinboy1]

damn, I keep fucking up at the tank

[gh3rocksmylife]

song at end???

[stefanel1996]

if this is a hard achivement... then i got it on my first game... i was so scared... lol

[MouseDude20]

There's a trick I use on the witch. I get the Assault Rifle and what you do is hold down LT, press Y two times, hold down RT, wait ten seconds, aim at the witch's head, and let go of LT. It'll shred her to no end. What it does is that it fires the entire 50 bullet clip in one second.

[pumkinboy1]

That's a good trick!

[icecoldfire25]

lol poor bill gets the gashed by the witch and then crushed by a hunter...

[robmike77]

the same thing happened to me in chapter 5, the tank threw rubble at bill, and hit him.

[robmike77]

at 5:53 the tank respawned there, and I didn't know where the tank was, so I got hit by the tank.

[BroodingMax]

yes mario bros

[TheMarioBros123]

@BroodingMax

Thanks :P

[Stonkish]

I've made it to the end once but I fucked up when the tank spawned.. the short moment of excitement vanished just like that.

[pumkinboy1]

Same thing happened to me, i was at section 5 and the rescue vehicle was almost here and a hunter jumped on me.

[TheMarioBros123]

So your telling me that if you get puked on or exploded on by a boomer it doesn't count as a hit by infected

im trying to say this right

[pumkinboy1]

yes

[TheMarioBros123]

@pumkinboy1

Thanks :)

[pumkinboy1]

Well, i've had different cites tell me no and yes, but yeah i'm almost 100% sure yes.

[pumkinboy1]

Yes, if you get puked on by a boomer or get scratched by the witch, it doesn't count against the achievement. If a boomer gets up close and scratches you then you fail the achievement.

[fubu051]

what if a team mate trys to heal you pr some 1 els

[pumkinboy1]

If a teammate heals you or you heal yourself, it voids the achievement unbreakable.

[sebisalpha]

poor bill

[Xelotz]

I Got near the end... excited, and guess what.. lewis startled the witch... out of anyone... lewis?? FFS

[xtremekill8]

dude love ur videos ur awsome at this game and ya you do hav a kool informative voice

[Weegee9999]

1:00 "Pills here"

[JQML]

This is a great video and u have a cool informative voice

P.S. Great music :)

[a0puncfan]

think of the hoops valve is going to make us jump through for L4D2 achievements.

Go and entire campaing without taking any damage or alerting the horde.

lol

doubt it.

[urukzpower]

that is blatantly impossible lawl.

[ZEBRACOMMANDR]

its actually really easy i got itby going frew crash couse on versis wiv a guest :)

[Stonkish]

I have heard you can't get this achievement on versus mode..

[sharki110]

u know if u like somewone shoots a boomer and blows him up and the stuff goes all over you (but he didn't vomit does that still count for stomach upset

[pumkinboy1]

Unfortunately yes

[xRawrrrrrrrr]

I just got the worst tank spawn ever..

there wasn't anything in my captions about saying tank growl or anything, so i open up the fire alam crescendo in chapter 2 then the tank comes from the damn air vent and i'm stuck in the little room like wtf mate -.-

[pumkinboy1]

the captions are not always reliable.

[killallgrunts]

about the not being healed one, can the AI heal you or can u never be healed? cause that would be hard if the A.I couldnt heal you..... as u cant control them.....?

[Kiutu]

If you "Take a Break" ie go idle, and get healed while idle, it wont count against you. Thats how I got it.

[killallgrunts]

wow thanks a bunch ive been ripping my hair out every time the ai heals me!!!

[pumkinboy1]

You can't be healed period.

[Kiutu]

You wait too long to shoot the witches. I just run up and pow and get them.

I also JUSt learned killing witches without startling them wont hurt the Do Not Disturbed achievement since I Cr0wned two in a campaing and still got the achievement.

[Peopleisgta]

I remember: When a Tank spawned infront of me, I accidentally stepped on a Witch in the dark, I was a Smoker and on that train bridge after the house i went on top of it, i grabbed a survivor and the others left her there with me. She died from zombies, Hunter and Boomer.

[acidglow]

Hardest achievement in the game.

[funnyhorns]

what is the second song

[citrusbazooka1121]

can this still work with 2 human players?

[King333B]

Jaydraven 1st of all good job with the vids i will be subscribing 2nd can you make a video for dead stop (head shot hunter whilst leaping) and if you have bought the crash course add-on some guides for that would be great.

[magictricksreveal]

loius ran toward the stupid tamk so i lost it at the end of the 4th lvl.

[0yowi]

song name please

[ukuleleteacher12]

6:17 theres a hunter on top where the window of train is!!! lol well ty for the vid it was soo hard took me 10 times!! :(

[xdavex713]

man really good advice and song also who is it

[st3v3yb01]

Another way to kill the witch easy without cr0wning or a shotgun just powershot her with an assult rifle or an uzi

With pisols out hold down LT and then press Y and hold down RT for about 7 secs then let go of LT and the machine gun will shoot an entire clip in 1 shot and kill the witch in 1 hit on Easy and Normal. Works gret with tanks too!

[j4k3tele]

Great song, lol. I have that album

[darkthrown]

Yea if tried speedrunning at 1:50, but once i got up the bridge a tank was just infront of the safehouse, and since the AI was still down the bridge, i wasn't able to kill it fast enough and it got me =/.

If you haven't gotten a tank yet, i wouldn't speedrun it.

[karateal1]

another tip i have found very helpful on nothing special if u do hear a special infected turn off yur lights and it confuses them on yur location

[karateal1]

this is one of the only achievements i need besides all 4 dead and wat r u trying to prove dont play much anymore cuz im w8ing for left 4 dead 2 ftw!!!

[koopaklaw11]

this is one of the hardest achievements i've come across and its the only one i don't have in left 4 dead, but i'll most likely try for it again

[adam000133]

here is a tip on all 4 dead. dont try and kill all 4 survivors incapacitate them all you should get it. that is what i done.

[mp40RuinsCODWaW]

error i cant watch the video  :( FUCK

[TheBloodySkull13]

just keep trying and it might work eventualy.

[Wor4lock]

can't fucking watch the conclusion

[Cheesezorz]

Aww, I can't watch the conclusion. It says that: "This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions.", hopefully there wasn't anything important.

Anyway, great videos man. Will you be doing L4D2 achievements also when it comes out?

[bahamutzero653]

congrats on the achievement ill have to try but first im going to get a group to finish some of the other ones, just 1 campaign left on expert a group whom will go nice and slow for saferty first and maybe stomach upset and then maybe untouchables but i might leave that one for when i do this run but nice job and good tips

[dinosaurier1234]

every time i try the bots never run away from tank when he is close to them:(

[NextGenGamerzProdigy]

i tend to kill the other bots (survivors) in the beggining and then speed run the rest

[crazysmartoy3]

2nd song name?

[DigitalD3ath]

Hello. Very Nice! When I do the acheivment sometimes the survivors won't run from the tank until he hits onw of the surviovrs. Is there a way to force survivors to follow you?

[Suicide767]

3:39 You missed a possible tank spawn, sometimes tanks spawn next to the safe room.

[cpresuttis]

what song is this

[gamerdude295]

On easy, smokers usaully Hesitate before they launch their tongue, hunters i think stay crouched, but approach you for a few secs, then pounce.

Tank, no tips :/

[twistedmetal100]

nice songs and poor bill.

[unknowndude123456789]

amazing video dude nice job =)

[tankerboo]

i think its best with easy because the special infected arent as hard or accurate

[rollerboy211]

heres a question umm.. i specialize in rifle base upgrades.. i saw u chose the shotty.. do i have to choose that too or is that just ur opinion in weapons

[tankerboo]

that is just an opinion he highley reccomends because it most used and is strong but the weapon choice is yours :D hope it helped

[HystericalSniper]

what song is the first 1

[StormTroopah]

Lol dude what difficulty is this on?

[greenishcheese]

if a boomer vomits on you and hoarde hits while boomed do you lose the achevement

[Goldhawk177]

thankfully no, it has to be direct damage from the Special Infected. The only thing you need to worry about from the Boomer is it clawing you and when you are waaay too close when it explodes.

[bigree123]

if a normal zombie does damage to you while you are vomited on it counts as being damaged by special infected

[ringo8696]

in his first part he said it dose not count

[pl0x007]

yes

[vinejuli311]

nope if a boomer vomites on you or explodes on you and you get hit by a zombie thats attracted to the vomite it does not count only if the boomer scratches you

[ringo8696]

thanks a lot man :)

[fatbat56]

nice vid :3. and btw ima geuss you like 30 seconds to mars :P

[4ITALOS]

-.- 1 - 2 tanks -.-

[spongedan219]

can you help me with this some time please because i follow your guide but the AI don't move when I get a tank.

[jaydraven1976]

I might try a couple runs at some time, at the moment I'm busy with other issues. You can send me a message and an invite through Live.

GT: Jay Draven.

[spongedan219]

thanks :D

[harvey73rox]

4:30 Possible Tank Spawn :(

[jaydraven1976]

I've never seen a tank there....not even a witch. Perhaps I've just been really lucky, not sure.

[harvey73rox]

Yea It Had My Friends Cursing When We Tried This On Expert He Spawned There Twice In A Row

[iluvjenira08]

WOW..I need you as a partner for this game Lol

[jaydraven1976]

I try to help when I can, but sometimes I'm busy either making a video or playing a different game. Plus I'm a little rusty since I haven't played in a while.

[MK9413]

ummm jay ive gotten the Man vs. Tank achievement on versus... its possible this is HammeredInFeRnO btw

[jaydraven1976]

Huh, I tried it myself twice and it didn't unlock on versus. Maybe something went wrong when I was trying for it. Thanks for the tip.

[TheRealUnaix]

Thoese crafty hunters :O

[DarkestAB1]

can you get this acheivement in versus,becouse then someon could just not attack. is that possible?

[jaydraven1976]

No, I've already tried that. It has to be through the campaign. I also tried Man vs. Tank in versus, you can't get that either.

[juggernaut898]

i have a question.

if a tank punts a car or log at you,

and it hits you,

does that count as being damaged by a special infected, thus destroying your chances of getting the nothing special achievement?

[jaydraven1976]

It's never happened to me, but I've read that it does count as special infected damage. So if she punches an object on any survivors, it's best to reset instead of potentially wasting your time. There are very few opportunities for him to do this on Blood Harvest, that's another reason I like that campaign for Nothing Special.

[juggernaut898]

thanks man.

keep up with the awesome vids.

[DEADYETAGA1N666]

i really want to finish this achievement sumtime b4 christmas lol. my gamertag is posted on .

[jaydraven1976]

Send a friend invite over Live, GT: Jay Draven

[DEADYETAGA1N666]

i only need this achievement can u help me get it? it is so annoying.

[jaydraven1976]

This is the hardest of all the achievements. I tried helping another person out, 10 attempts no success. It's more to do with luck than anything else. I ended up helping him get Untouchables and 2 Expert campaigns. I can try and help you, but there's no guarantees. Plus it depends on how much time I have available. I just got a new game plus I have 4 more videos to capture.

[shahin2972]

y did u do this achievement with AI. isnt is easier with real people?

[jaydraven1976]

It can be, but even with real people it will take quite a few tries. Most people will quite out after a few fails. Plus, I just wanted to show that it can be done with AI's, in case some viewers don't have Xbox Live, or any friends who are good enough or play the game.

[danoxo15]

i got unbreakable on no mercy easy with all AI. didnt even use pills and finished up with above 60 health. this is probably the easiest campaign for this achievement as the small corridors and areas make for easy kills with the shotgun.

[jaydraven1976]

I also received this achievement on No Mercy, on my main account. Getting Unbreakable while speed running on Blood Harvest was just a side benefit while I was trying for Nothing Special. Which I still say is way harder than it has to be.

[MK9413]

hey can u use pain pills and still get the Unbreakable achievement or is it counted as healing?

[jaydraven1976]

You're allowed to use pain pills. If an AI tries to heal you, you can equip a med pack or pills and they will stop healing you.

[fuge805]

u got lucky about bill the ai when i play are dumb it takes 3-4 seconds 4 them to see what is happening

[jaydraven1976]

It's hit and miss when the AI will react. I've had them take up to 5 seconds to react, and sometimes they respond right away. I also call it luck.

[unknownxyz37]

you make it look easy and the tip for dodging a hunter is kinda hard cause i sometimes get confused where he went after he jumped. also smoker is an unpredictable , he grab you far away.

[jaydraven1976]

Hunters usually appear in front of the party, so I side step whenever I hear them. Smokers usually appear behind you. Which is why at the end we only killed 6 smokers, 4 of them were at the finale so we only really saw 2 through the first 4 chapters. Rushing makes them hardly ever appear.

[manlyman300]

in the next guides,try to also put witch spawns.like the basement and the traintracks

[jaydraven1976]

There are so many places that the director can put the witch/tank. It's nice that it's unpredictable, but it makes it harder to make a viable walk through.
