Spoiler

It's not in the mines. It's in the cave with the first Spelunker quest, to the east of the village. It's called Eye-something Cave, and it has those Lazy Eye monsters in it. And it's not his body - it's just his journal.

woow thanks..!! it drove me crazy lol!!

Now I'm trying to get the trophies..

Spoiler

one is Resurrect in an Outhouse and the other is the "kill 100 chicken" one..

I tried doing both but nothing!! btw I've completed the game, if that makes any difference

 

[Kevtones]

Just wanted to pop in and say I loved this game. I got 200/200 and would love some DLC or a raise in the level cap.


Loved the writing too.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

I'm only 2 trophies away from finishing it 100%

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Apparently there's a bug in the chicken trophy.. maybe I should've killed the 100 before they turn grey to me?

also the "just die" trophy is not working..

sucks

On the 360 those are the two you get first.

Can't you start a new game on a different save area (like memory stick on 360 - not sure how PS3 works) and just:

die once

kill the chickens behind the witches house 100 times.


If not you might be glitched out. Check yr stats for chicken kills in the stats book item.

Backup your save file and start a new one. It shouldn't be long before you get both Trophies.

I had to do something similar for a PixelJunk Shooter glitched Trophy.

Totally agree. Picking up where it left off with DLC would be fantastic.

I just wanted to pop in and say that I played the demo a couple weeks ago and found the writing offensively juvenile and repulsive in the worst of ways. It was like playing a video game parody by the guys behind Scary Movie 2. The voice acting and lines read by it made me want to cut myself and I literally was embarrassed to play it while my roommates were around.

I hope for your all's sakes that the whole game isn't like that.
[/troll]

 

[Kevtones]

Lighten up, man.


At least you don't love Inception like the rest of those wrong people.

 

[BobsRevenge]

That troll had been repressed and boiling inside of me since I first played the demo. :lol

It needed to come out in the most offensive way I could pose it.

Not sure about XBL, but on PS3 I was able to start a new game and got the two trophies

it's a glitch ..

Back to playing RDR after teh PSN mayhem I had last week.. I still have around $15 to spend, and I didn't like Joe Danger at all (don't shoot me please )

I would say that writing is more like Monty Python than Scary Movie.

Scary Movie 2? Aw, man. I was aiming for Scary Movie 3. Ah well. There's always next time...

If that's true, then Monty Python is a lot worse than I remember it being when I saw their movies 7 years ago when my friends went through that phase. :lol

DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue information added to the OP

 

[Kevtones]

Holy shit, I somehow missed the announcement of TOV. Day 0!

 

[eznark]

Holy shit, I somehow missed the announcement of TOV.

Just saw that. Hmmm. I was hoping for an expansion.

 

[Kevtones]

Just saw that. Hmmm. I was hoping for an expansion.

Same. I kind of wanted them to raise the level cap and have a more fleshed out endgame but I like the fact it's changing things up.

Plus, it's a sequel 2 months later and that's just awesome

 

[eznark]

I have a hard time with the $15, personally, especially when it's coming out. 6 weeks ago or whatever was perfect timing. September? get outta here.

 

[Kevtones]

I'm more curious why the original wasn't part of the Summer of Arcade? Probably would've helped sell better :/

 

[HadesGigas]

Microsoft requires all Summer of Arcade games to be "exclusives". Lara Croft PSN has a delayed release to qualify, and that's why Scott Pilgrim wasn't released during the SoA.

 

[kai3345]

Whats the approximate length of this game?

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

Whats the approximate length of this game?

It takes 5-7 hours to 100% DeathSpank.

 

[thetrin]

I'm looking forward to Thongs of Virtue. Considering the cliffhanger at the end of the first one...

 

[Kevtones]

That makes sense.


Also, DeathSpank is a 10-15 hour game.

 

[J-Roderton]

Some of the screenshots I've seen suggest they do pick up where DS left off. Exactly what I was hoping for.

 

[MrDaravon]

Also, DeathSpank is a 10-15 hour game.

I don't understand how anyone could spend more than 7-8 hours on DeathSpank. Don't get me wrong, I like the game, but I got stuck like a total dumbass on a part for probably 45 minutes, and STILL got 200/200 in 8 hours at the very most (started after breakfast, finished before dinner). People need to stop inflating the hour count to try to sell people on the game.

 

[Kevtones]

I never got stuck, did 100% of the quests, and clocked about 13 hours.


I take my time, I guess.

 

[BlueSummers]

What's the best way to get to level 20? I'm at 19 with 1 more quest to do and my bar isn't moving at all. Just grind Unicorns?

 

[Stormwatch]

I found that the turtles were really quick to kill and gave you a lot of experience points if you have the game set on Hard.

 

[BeeDog]

Grinding Unicorns is the best; goes much faster than you might think.

 

[bon]

Is someone making an OT for Thongs of Virtue, or should we just use this thread?

 

[Atomski]

Crazy the next game is out already... pretty sure I have to much else to play. Won't probably touch it till next year some time.

 

[British Monsoon]

Yeah, I bought it because the two DLC packs (a co-op character & a dungeon) are bundled for free this week only, but I really don't have the time to play it at the moment. Completed the first major quest though, seems like it's exactly more of the same (but that's no bad thing, imo).

 

[Sqorgar]

It's exactly more of the same. The original DeathSpank was broken into two parts some time between the PAX announcement and the first game's release (I can say that much because Ron already said it on his site). In fact, the first couple dialogues I wrote were from the section that became the second game. It isn't a sequel or episode or spinoff or anything like that. It is the second half of a single gaming experience - the half with all the plot and puzzles.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

its out already?

good news

A single game broken up into two $15 products? This is the worst possible advertisement for the game(s).

 

[Witchfinder General]

I think I'll grab this tonight as my wife and I loved playing Deathspank Part 1.

Is the co-op character much in the same vein as the wizard in part 1?

 

[Sqorgar]

Wasn't my decision, and I won't pretend that I like it. If it makes you feel better, I doubt it was ever the whole game for $15. More likely it was intended to be a $30 game (and easily worth the money) that got broken into two $15 games. You aren't getting screwed. It just divides and dilutes the impact of each individual half. I'm afraid the break between games and unexpectedness of the divide affected expectations negatively for the second half - which, for all intents and purposes should be a better, more complete experience (it has an ending).

 

[Sqorgar]

Similar in that he doesn't level and shares health, but Steve is a man's man. Voice of an angel, riding a unicorn, shooting rainbows, and attacking with katanas and throwing stars. Chuck Norris is half the man Steve is. There's a third DLC character, free this week, which is an orque. Haven't tried him out yet. All I need is Steve.

Cool. I loved having my wife play as the wizard as his damage seemed to go up depending on the level I was and wasn't dependent on any resistance, which meant my wife managed to beat the crap out of ghosts while I ran in fear. Good times.

 

[Kevtones]

Buying this tonight

Theres never been a $30 XBLA game, perhaps they'd been planning to release it at $20. There's a handful of games at that price (mostly godawful games ironically enough).

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

loving the new one so far. game seems to run a little less smooth than the first, but no biggie.

does anyone else feel like he reads his lines slower in this than the first game?

 

[burgerdog]

On xbl you don't need to buy the game to get the free dlc. They are separate downloads so you can get the free dlc and buy the game later.

I am not privy to those discussions or decisions. If it were up to me, DS would be a full priced disc game with snazzy holographic limited edition packaging. Also, my name in big, shiny letters, blinding in it's purity and awesomeness. Regardless of who wants to get who's money, I think DS is a steal at $30. I've bought far worse, shorter games for far more money. If only gamers could get that screwed with all their games.

Is ToV around 5 hours, too? That would be a $30 10 hour game! I paid $60 for a 5 hour mw2 campaign run Not big on mw mp.

If you won DS in 5 hours, you had to be skipping all my glorious dialogue. Shame on you!

TOV should be longer than the first one. Most people peg the first game at around 7-8 hours for a typical 100% run through. ToV should probably hit about 12-13 hours for those same people. I haven't won it yet, and none of the reviewers have mentioned time yet, so I can't say for sure. But DeathSpank has enough quirky characters for ten lesser games.

I'll have to check my completion time tomorrow. If it was indeed 5 hours, I still got my money's worth, loved every second of it.

ToV seems to be quite lengthy, then! I'll buy it tomorrow.
