OMG getting 500/500 greenies was a pain! The last 3 took FOREVER!

Of course, they were all sitting in high places right next to all the supply points... It pays to have a look up when you spawn, instead of simply rushing off to blow shit up tongue.gif

Argh! Damn you! I've got 2 more... Just 2... shocking.gif

It was 6 and I found 4 in Romanova's hideout  wink.gif  Now it's 2 icon_question.gif

icon_question.gif ?

OK. The last two are right behind you tongue.gif

The last one will prolly be in Los Muertos. Why? Cos in the Volk and Shai Gen, the orbs are fairly high and easy to spot. LM has them in low spots cos that's about how high you can jump when you start, and when you're lvl 4 bouncing around rooftops you tend to miss the ones on that 10ft ledge.

And LM has the highest number of greenies.

Two more, little Hamster. Go look in places you've never been. Go look at the rocks around LM. Go swim and see what you can see from the water. It's usually somewhere you'd have passed. Many of my last few were up on those domes and all that I passed by without glancing up.

My last one was on top of the satellite dish and antenna on top of the big red brick building in the middle of LM. My second last on was on top of the big round glass boss obsevatory in SG.

Ok, gonna start my crackdown... yeah... i am really outdated, by now u guys probably going at it in graw2!

Who wanna co-op let me know... UBER-NUUB here..

Ooo you got it already smile.gif

Ok ok, need to do the co-op story. Missing the achievement. I think if the time trial bosses are cleared, it'll give the points. Shouldn't be too hard.

Still got like 25 hidden orbs, which shouldn't be too hard until the last handful.

And the stunt ring one.

Haven't had time to commit to a full co-op session. Also, been focusing on getting the other achievements sorted out. So, you on for the co-op?

Hopefully can clear 900GS and go back to Vegas soon smile.gif

Roland, that's nothing, I followed the guide from 1 to 300, and I'm still missing 2 hidden orbs! How stressful is that!

Thing is, the hidden orbs can't be done without the guide UNLESS you:

1) don't have a job, and therefore have tons of time free
2) aren't prone to tearing your hair out in frustration, otherwise you'd be bald
3) are slightly masochistic, cos everyone else has used the guide...

So I have to go through the list one by one til I nail those three suckers...

ARRGHHHHH! I found one more, so I'm sitting at 298/300... It's taken me 2 days to find that one orb. Now there are two more left, and I've looked EVERYWHERE and can't find them. I've been through the list three times, and still nothing sad.gif

Some of the numbers in the list have 2 orbs on them, one on top of another. Did you check them? They mention those 3 numbers with 2 orbs one on top of the other.

First thing I looked for, little furry hamster.

Turns out I got all the 2 orbs/1 location ones.

I found hidden orb #299 on a balcony. I passed that area so many times, but I thought I'd picked the orb up already. Looking at the picture later, I realised in was on the balcony, not on street level, and that's why I missed it. Evidently I didn't go near enough to hear the sound.

Doing orbs section by section makes sense. It'll be a heck of a lot easier to do it one-shot instead of relying on memory.

@R0land, for the co-op ach, is it possible to get it with the boss time trials? Or do we need to finish the entire campaign?

I am having trouble with some hidden orbs now. Can't reach it, esp #12 in the freakin' tallest building balcony, #26 on a lighthouse tip sad.gif and #34, high up in the underside of a connection bridge.

currently on #46... orb hunt can be addictive, with the guide... biggrin.gif

Coop can be done with time trials exclusively. I reckon each boss can be nailed under 5 mins, except for the ones high up in the skyscrapers... Set ah?

Some hidden orbs, like the lighthouse one and the agency building ones, are much easier done with lvl 4 in agility. Just write down which one you've missed out.

HELL YEAH!

After days and days of hunting I finally found #300! Seems like I was skipping through all the Los Meurtos ones in the guide, and since they all look familiar I just moved on without studying the guide's pics in detail. So it was #73 that was the last one, sitting along a highway I never take, on a ledge I've never jumped past. I finally found this bugger cos I decided to look VERY carefully through the pics, with FULL attention, and immediately realised this one looks unfamiliar. I jack an agency cop's car, zip there, and lo behold. Soooo much relief....

KNNB that last stunt ring is damn fking hard man
