Yeah. It doesn't help that Wood kills one of your zombies. I'm stuck at 98.3% research for some reason. I've noticed I accidentally left out two weapon researches before... the event... but not before absolute end-game.

I'm currently looking for all the ways to destroy the jaw. Anyone mind completing the list? xD

-- Fan (neutral)
-- Baseball bat
-- 2x Crowbar
-- 10x Stick

Note that the jaw has an HP system. It takes 10 hits with the stick to whack it off, but it also takes 1x crowbar and 5x sticks to do the same.

Author makes it known that Boxing Gloves is supposed to be able to destroy zombie jaws. However, it is glitched.

The 100% research medal is now worth 100 pts instead of 5 pts.

I have no idea about my hero, but about the "die evil robot" medal, you have to click the head of the robot that sometimes walks (well, rides actually) by on the title screen.

Can you please tell me how to get past the final bit, after the angry faic kart part. There is a rock (?) with three letters and one number, a 'P', a 'N', an 'E' and a '0', on it. Can you tell me how to get past that place. The robot all the way down is already defeated.

Hey, I just found out how to get 'my hero' too. On the first level, where there is an arrow pointing down a hole with ''medal'' next to it. While falling down, you'll see a fox hanging himself. Attack the rope while falling.

Well, you have to press these letters in a particular order in to make the way open to you. Can you guess the order? =)

Sorry, double post here again. I got another problem, this time with Lab of the Dead... how do you totally damage the zombie? I thought it was with using every (or almost every) weapon on it 3 times in order to get battle damage to show, then chop off its limbs with a chainsaw, but clearly I'm wrong on that. Am I even in the ballpark, or am I way off?

Chopping off the limbs is the wrong way to go.

Remember to knife and nail gun the zombie in the head. The thing that sealed the deal for me was knocking off its jaw.

Thank you very much, kind sir. I finally got it. Now all I need is that damn knocking off the jaw thing and I'll have 100%. For some reason though, that one doesn't seem to wanna work.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-10-21 13:56:35


Lab of the Dead has been updated, and the boxing glove jaw removal works now, so it's possible to get both the jaw breaker, and 100% completion medal.

Boy, I'm just full of double posts today, aren't I? :)

I've gained a few of them, but I think he%u015B referring to in-game medals. None of them got sent to my account, so I think it doesn't have medals.

THE DAWN 2 is an awful game. Getting all the medals only served the awfulness even further. And you would agree with me once you realize where golden tree 2 is.

It's not that the game itself is awful, because it is nicely done. It's just the controls are terrible! It took me about 20 or so tries to get past the sequence in the cave with the spikes because the little rabbit guy wouldn't jump at the right time. And the minecart section? Ugh! Don't even get me started on that one. There is almost no time to react! I happened to pass it just by sheer luck, and that goes for finding golden tree #2 as well.

The only medal I have left on it is the second secret one (which I guess is secret picture #1?), but unless its before the minecart section, I'm not even gonna bother. 25 points isn't worth the aggravation!

And by the by, thanks for not stringin' me up with all the double posts. :)

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-10-21 21:36:43


How come I suck terribad at the third phase of Grinning Cobossus? It's the only thing preventing me from picking up the 100 pt medal =( I don't have any problems with the other phases.

So... what do? Other than the old adage "practice makes perfect"?

Lab of the Dead - anyone else have the medal for trying all food items not unlock? I'm on what I believe to be the last day, sitting at 97.8% completion because I haven't yet killed 50 animals or researched the last Alpha note, and I'm wondering if I should be waiting for a bugfix. Of note is that the achievement in-game also isn't unlocked, so it's not that the medal simply failed to send.


Deploy the... it's a yellow button... it's usually flashing... it makes the engines go... whoosh!

Last item you get is human meat. You really should try to progress as far as you can. And if you believe there's no game beyond the ending, back up your save file.

I wouldn't call it awful. It has a nice atmosphere and some of the medals were actually kind of fun to get. The thing that annoyed me the most, was that I had to adjust the brightness of my computer. I never had to do that just for playing a game, and I don't see the point in making it so ridiculously dark. I didn't find golden tree 2 though, any help? It's in the part with the spikes me thinks?

Well, the thing that helped me most in that game is to not focus on the boss at all (especially in phase 3). It IS the only harder phase, but still, finding the right flow in dodging will do the trick, the boss will die eventually. It took me an hour max to earn every medal in the game, simply by just keep to the dodging part.

@ DiMono, yeah Human Meat is the last item you get after REALLY getting to the last day. Keep playing, Evil-Dog fixed every medal/issue in the game.

Yeah, I backed up and kept playing and got to the end... such as it is. Is there eventually an actual ending to the game, or do you just get the chance to catch up on any research you missed? Because hoping for a real ending is the only reason I kept playing; I don't really care about the medals, I'd invested a lot of time into the game and wanted a conclusion. If there's more to come at some point by random trigger, I'll pick it back up again.

The controls and collision detections were so bad, it destroyed most of the goodness the art had over me. You can literally duck through the sky bridge. I guess it's just the technical aspect of my personality speaking, but when the smoothness and aesthetics of the gameplay itself are filled with frustration, it's almost like a chore trying to enjoy the strong points of the game, namely the story and atmosphere.

The hunt for some of the medals was interesting, but a couple are marred with problems. Case in point? Golden tree 2. Hug the right side of the pit towards the minecart ride, but you'll never find it without doing something apparently unrelated. (Hint: Dillo Hills)

I have the balls to say that Stickya Adventurya did better in the aspects I complain most about. Well, not so much the chainsaw guys, but everything else was okay.

What I lack in is top tier consistency. But I suppose it's the only way to go, especially since that's the strategy I adopted for phase 4.

Nothing to do but to keep trying I guess.

Well, the story stuff ends when you take the day 121/123 log. You take a look at the objectives after that, and it says "well, this was stupid and pointless lol" (not verbatim obviously). IMO, the real good meat of the story ends after you get all the Alpha Tapes and Notes, and when the protagonist gets the Human Meat.

Lab of the Dead; how the fuck do you get 100% completion? I reached the point in which the military leader comes in and demands results in the form of five performances. I managed to get my zombie to perform all 5 advanced tasks and the military leader storms out yelling his head off and I found that I can't advance any further.

How do you get past that part?
