It’s been many months since I talked about achievements in Rock Band, see the old post when I finished the solo drum tour on expert for Rock Band 1 to unlock “AN-I-MAL!!”. Last night, I finished the Impossible Drum Challenge on expert for Rock Band 2, getting me the “AN-I-MAL!!” achievement on the latest installment.

	AN-I-MAL!!!	25
	Beat the Impossible Drum Challenge

Now, I have 40 of the 50 total achievements in the game. Two of the remaining 10, I can get on the drums.

	Band Savior	20
	Be a savior three times during a single song

	Stage Igniters	25
	Beat the Impossible Band Challenge

The rest, will require me to pick up a plastic guitar to complete. For certain, there is one achievement that I will not be getting.

	The Bladder of Steel Award	25
	Completed the Endless Setlist 2 without pausing or failing.

That’s playing all 84 songs without pausing, without going to any menus, without changing batteries. 6.5+ hours, non-stop. No thanks!

The next 4 achievements, should take some time (especially since I’m terrible on guitar), but should be, well, “achievable”.

	Flawless Fretwork	25
	Score 100% notes hit as a guitarist on Expert
	Flawless Guitar Solo	20
	100% a guitar solo on Expert, using only the solo buttons

	Groove Assassin	20
	Beat the Impossible Bass Challenge
	Lord of the Strings	25
	Beat the Impossible Guitar Challenge

[ad#post-banner-ad]The final 3 achievements go back to “The Bladder of Steel Award”. It’s the entire set list, but failing and pausing is allowed. There’s one achievement for each difficulty level, starting at medium. The tough part for me is, there are still two songs that I have not beat on expert drums. In fact, I think I have never beat them on hard. Visions and Battery.

	Vinyl Artist	20
	Finished the Endless Setlist 2 in World Tour on Medium
	Gold Artist	30
	Finished the Endless Setlist 2 in World Tour on Hard
	Platinum Artist	50
	Finished the Endless Setlist 2 in World Tour on Expert

I do not want to play this entire set list 3 times, so I guess it’s time to start practicing these two songs on expert.

There’s my game plan to getting 49 of the 50 achievements for Rock Band 2. How about you? Where are you currently at, and are you trying to complete the game?
