Introduction:
New SUDA51 madness will put you in the shoes of Juliet Starling, zombie killing cheerleader as a zombie outbreak starts and right on her birthday! OMFG! Now it's up to Juliet to save the day, with help of her family members and boyfriend Nick, so they can make it home for some cake.
As expected of a SUDA51 game, there are some grinding trophies, which are not much of a big deal, as you have to replay each stage numerous times. There are also some stage and boss specific trophies, along with several collectible trophies.
Walkthrough:
Step 1: Play through the game once on Hard difficulty, collecting all Lollipop Wrappers and saving all classmates.
For your first playthrough, you will be going through the game on Hard difficulty, as well as collecting all the Lollipop Wrapper collectibles and saving all your classmates. Compared to the other two difficulties, aside from facing a few stronger zombies earlier on, it’s nothing to be worried about. You can select the game’s difficulty via the title screen.
Focus on upgrading Juliet’s health and strength first, rather than learning new moves. Also, getting zombies dazed is the key to defeating them easily and quickly. You can groggle them, simply by drop kicking them using + . Dazed zombies become 1-hit-kills with any chainsaw attack that follows. Make good use of Juliet's acrobatic techniques, especially when you're up against hordes of zombies. She is invulnerable every time she performs it, so abuse the button as you please.
The reason you want to be playing on Hard, is that certain collectibles only become available if on Hard difficulty. Please refer to our Collectible Guide for the Lollipop Wrapper locations. You will also be saving all the classmates you come across throughout each stage in this step.
You can also choose to earn some of the Stage and Boss related trophies on this playthrough, but don’t worry if you choose not to. Progress for trophies are cumulative throughout the game, so you go back to them after finishing the game first. We recommend you come back to them later, and just enjoy your first playthrough.
You will also be automatically working towards completing your Zombie Album. You’ll be able to face all zombies except for one as it’s only available in Ranking Mode. Please refer to the “Zombie Fancier” trophy for details.

Step 2: Replay each Stage in Ranking Mode on Normal, uploading your score to the online leaderboards, and focus on surpassing Dad’s Scores.
You can access Ranking Mode once you've beaten a stage for the first time, via on the Map Screen. In this step, you will want to replay each stage in this mode and choose to “Save Ranking” at the end to upload your score, since you can't do so during Story Mode. Don't worry, you don’t need to do exceptionally well or place in any top rankings to earn the trophy, you just need to upload your score.
Ranking Mode has no continues, checkpoints, or Chop2Shop.Zom access for you to purchase any Lollipops and/or Nick Tickets. Which means you will have to be really careful about QTEs or instant death sections. Use lollipops when necessary to replenish your health. Their locations remain the same and there are plenty to find, scattered around stages.
You will be given a single Nick Ticket at the start of each Stage, except Prologue and the first quarter of Stage 1, which might revive you when your health reaches 0 and if you successfully input Lucky Nick during Nick Roulette.
Your goal in Ranking Mode is to try and beat Dad’s Scores, but more importantly, uploading your score to the online leaderboards. The most important parameter to beat his scores in is the Sparkle Hunting. Not only will you earn bonus points for killing zombies with it, but you also earn bonus Medals and rare Platinum Medals as well. In addition, each stage is divided into several sections in Ranking Mode, which have different achievements that you can accomplish for bonus Zombie Medals. You can beat his scores in Story Mode too, but overall, it is way easier in Ranking Mode.
To see the requirements of each Stage’s bonus medal achievements, please refer to related trophies.
Trophies earned in this step (in the order you should be receiving them in):
n00b Zombie Hunter
Beginner Zombie Hunter
Intermediate Zombie Hunter
Advanced Zombie Hunter
Super Zombie Hunter
Excellent Zombie Hunter
Zombie Fancier
Master Zombie Hunter
International Zombie Hunter
Step 3: Clean-up
With Hard and Ranking Mode out of the way, you should only have a few trophies left to clean up. Specifically, the grinding trophies like getting 10,000 Zombie Medals or killing 3,000 Zombies. Please refer to their related trophies.
You will also want to be working on kissing Nick 100 times when you're grinding for medals during this step.
Refer to the guide as to what trophies you're missing, and just replay any stages to earn what you're missing. If you followed our suggestion and chose to leave Stage and Boss specific trophies for later, earn them during this step.
