Mahalo is currently working on a full walkthrough for MadWorld, complete with high-quality videos. The guide explains everything from the point system and basic combat techniques to complete boss strategies. Be sure to check it out for tips and strategies on leading Jack to blood-spattered victory.
The DeathWatch Challenges give determined players a large point bonus for completing a variety of tasks. These range from killing a set number of enemies, using a specific method to take them out, and defeating bosses within a set time. There are 29 challenges total in the game, which become available after completing the game a certain number of times. To complete them all, it’s necessary to play through the game five times.
The Bloodbath challenges are timed mini-games, none longer than 3 minutes long. Each challenge can be played alone or in multiplayer against a friend. There are 10 challenges total in the game.
There are 16 standard combos in the game, using both hands and Jack’s chainsaw prosthetic. These include punches, throws and slash attacks.
After beating down an enemy with basic combos, a “Finish” icon appears on the screen to indicate that he is near death. Jack has access to 21 different Finish Moves, most of which are worth 20,000 points.
Jack gets his hands on a variety of weapons throughout the game, including daggers, spiked bats and a missile launcher. Some of these feature special attacks unique Finish Moves. Keep in mind that weapons do degrade over time and will eventually break.
The Double Chainsaw and Katana are secret weapons that can be unlocked by beating the game.
In MadWorld, points are awarded for each attack and the goal is to earn as many points possible. Using items found in the environment helps rack up the points and most of the Finish Moves give a 20,000 point bonus. Completing DeathWatch Challenges grants massive amounts of bonus points…up to 999,999!
