It's Alive! Event badge

I have tried a few time to get this one, for those of you who dont know what it is, it is defeating 99 zombies then the final boss in the haunted house event.

I get to around 50 with a team of 4 (obviously) but the timer runs out, the zombies dont seem to spawn until the boss is on about 15% HP, is there any way of making them spawn before the %? otherwise you have about 5 mins to kill 99 and i dont see it being possible.

Thanks

You have to spend time running around the gravestones to get more of them to pop up. Basically avoid killing the boss for a few minutes while you rack up the zombie kills. Turns out to be relatively easy that way - I ran a PUG trial last night and we got all three badges with around 4 minutes to spare on the clock.

Good luck.

Kill the boss while you are wearing a costume.

Problem with this badge is that a stone tank can activate the costume power and still use granite without the costume turning off, but a Kheldian cannot transform to squid or dwarf mode as that will turn off the power.

Equally, Stealth powers don't work which is a bugger for Stalkers, SoA and the like.

One more tiny reason I enjoy playing my human-form only Peacebringer.
I didn't have any problem at all with this badge on her.

In all seriousness it is crummy that those costume powers disrupt other AT powers. But this trial is so relatively easy that I imagine most people can cope with it for a few minutes. *shrugs*

Ran the halloween trial last night eight times with pick up groups. On four heros I got all the badges. On one run we had just three people and beat the GM in the end ignoring the zombies. On a team of four we missed getting things done within 12 minutes timer, mostly because it felt the zombies spawned so slowly.

Is the best way to get the zombies by just walking in the graveyard or standing still?

Huh didnt know moving him around the gravestones makes them spawn....must do that next time I tank that monster with my rad corrupter

You don't have to drag him around to the graves. On the single run that I did with my Tanker late last night, we beat him down a bit, then everyone else went around the graveyard spawning and defeating zombies while I held his attention at the mausoleum door. He moved only maybe 20 feet from where he spawned for the whole thing, and we managed to get the 99 zombies and defeat him in time.

But if you're toggle tanking with a Corruptor, you could just drag him around the Mausoleum. We did that on a team where our sturdiest melee was a Scrapper and we had no real support ATs. It would give you opportunities to break LoS and heal up. No real need to move him way out among the tombstones unless you want to.

I actually didnt have a problem staying alive, since it seems that all the zombies the others killed dropped basic insp, predominatly greens.

How can a Stone Tank activate Granite at level 29?

This was not my experience at all. We used Super Speed and Fly quite a bit, and spawned more than enough zombies to get the badge with a few minutes left on the timer.

um... Click the power to turn it on?

Seriously, though, there was a change a while back that you keep powers up to FIVE levels above your exemp level. At level 29, you would have the powers you gained at levels 30 and 32.

Dancing on graves as my Timefender with the PBAoE toggle raised the dead quite handily.

Oh, derp, that'd be 34, forgot about that. Thanks Iron.

When exemping you get an extra 5 levels worth of powers to use

One more trick, before spawning monster (going close to center) run on graves and spawn as many zombies you can without killing them. Then run to the center and wait for timer to appear.
If team has AoEs you can get 20 or more zombies in just few seconds.

you can use a costume and hide

those two work fine....

where did you think you couldnt?

Stalker has no issues with wearing a costume and using hide.

Now steath and concealment pool dont mix with it....but what stalker needs that?

Not sure about soldiers and widows....dont know what stealth they use....probably works as well as hide and probably better...

No - they are mutually exclusive with Costume powers.
