So on a normal L4D2 day on Xbox 360, in the dark carnival. Some friends and I Had mister chompsky in hand. We get to the second round of the stadium finale where there’s not one but two tanks lying in wait for you before you board the helicopter for your freedom. Nick who is ever so kind to have gnome duty falls behind when Coach(me) and Ellis jump on le copter of freedom. We unload our weapons on some unlucky zombs and a charger and one tank.(Btw Rochelle’s dead already) And Nick makes that leap of faith, with gnomeo in hand! Everything is moving at the speed of turtle, we’re all so happy, “We did it” We all shout in our mic’s at each other, but then…lo and behold Reality hits, HARD! Right before senior Nick jumps on ze Heli, the second tank(that we somehow forgot about) decides to Shoryuken his ass, which causes him to drop the gnome, nick flys safely to the helicopter, but without Chomsky…..We decided to throw in the towel for the day….

Another short story misadventure. Im on the coaster, Chompsters in my hands holding him ever so tightly. We’re running on the roller coaster but there’s a horde waiting for me. So I quickly act. I throw my pipe bomb off the roller coaster so they can follow while I lead the team and creepster to safety. But when I look down to pick him up….he was gone. I stumbled off the coaster as well, but managed to get stuck between the wooden beams. So I was safe. I spotted the gnome on the floor(guess he wanted to play hide and seek)smiling at me, taunting me. My buddies went to go turn off the coaster and try to come back for the gnome, and me…I think. Buuuut they died. So I have about 17 shots left in my shotgun and 40 flesh eating zombies coming for me, while the little asshole, is still smiling at me. I shoot most of them, conserving my ammo, I pull out my katana and slice the rest. I nab Te fumbled gnome like a pro football player and run up Te ladder, Before I could make a touch down though…a smoker is waiting for me. He tries to make out with my gnome but I make sure to instill the law of no PDA on him.(I guess if you melee the tongue enough before you’re defenseless it’ll let you go) I was lucky. But he’s not dead yet….I stumble on some ammo. Refill and blow the smokers head in. Limping my way to the safe room with the little devil in hand…alone…but my mission isn’t over yet.(Btw this happened today)

I made it through the entire campaign as the only real user, the rest were AI.
I was excited when the helicopter arrived. I had set him in a corner next to me for safe keeping. When I looked down at the gnome to snatch him up, he wasn’t there.
Fuck my life.

that way you dont have to worry about him falling though the car or messing up your throw or anything

By: aj

aj — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 18:35:43 +0000

its actually much easier for the rolllercoaster part to just throw him over the fence to the middle part of the ride, then go, turn off the alarm, run back and get him.

oh ya, and another good spot to put the gnome is in the box that has all the fireworks, after you’ve spread the fireworks out, that is. We normally hole up there and fight, its in the middle of either landing spot for the chopper.

We just got this achievement tonight on Xbox 360. Surprisingly, we died a couple times, but managed to hang on to him throughout the campaign. Had to lose AI bots Ellis and Coach at the end, but we were’nt getting off the chopper to save them and lose the damn gnome….

Gordons Log:
I found this odd garden gnome, he seems important so i took him with me.WOW he seems to be a great buddy considering all the antlions we fought together! Wait! He is starting to be a burden to my mission,Alyx tends to ignore him, and he doesnt like car rides. Ugghhh, he does not want to comply, he rebels against me and he just wont stay in the car! I have never been so grateful for one of kleiner’s inventions, this rocket happened to have a payload weight of eight and a half pounds!
pressing a button has never been so satisfying, i launched him into another planet!

Guess what planet he landed on?
the planet of L4D, i think he was found, then they took him and finally decided to make him a carnival game prize, not too long after, there happens to be an infection and he is trapped in the carnival

Now, How did i get the acheivement?I just played dark carnival on Gib Fest with my friends and It was a breeze! I only died once when THE DAMN CHOPPER DECIDED TO GO ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF WHERE I PUT THE GODDAMN GNOME!!!!!!
I hope they dont put it in portal 2

The first time i did this I stashed the gnome where the helicopter usually goes for me. But unfortunately the helicopter went to the opposite this time. I ran for the gnome hoping i can get to the helicopter with helps from the computers. I had fell but quickly helped up. Immediatley i looked for the gnome. The rest of the survivors were down or dead. I was fortunate to find an adrenaline shot but forced to leave without the gnome. : ‘ (

Lol I did this achievement today just cuz I was going through on single player and figured “why not?” I almost died twelve times and somehow got to the chopper whilst running from a TANK, gnome in tow, and miraculously the bots all lived, and we escaped. It was INSANE.

I understand your frustration. I recently took the gnome through the entirety of HL2:E2. It started out nice, buy by the end I wanted to pitch the little fucker. If anyone wants to, they can read "The Lawn Statue of Frustration". I'm going to link to this blog through mine if you don't mind. :) I thought this article was hilarious.

Bought L4D2 yesterday and did that achievement.

That goddamn gnome and his constant grinning nearly drove me insane – tank pummelling Rochelle into a fine gooey paste? He’s grinning, boomer vomiting all over me? He’s grinning, a horde charging towards us? He’s STILL BLOODY GRINNING.

Still, it is probably the most rewarding achievement I’ve done. And I never have to see that stupid grinning face again until Portal 2 where he’ll still be grinning and making thinking with portals just that little more complicated.

Well i see that u went through hell to do that achievement, i don t mean to undervalue your work but that achievement wasn t very hard at all with me >_>

I did it right at the first try although i was in advantage cause i completed in offline Mode.

I put it in easy campgain and i played only with bots. I also used a few shortcuts like throw the gnome over fences so that i didn t need to carry him all the way to the end and just grab him near the safe room.

Well for all those ppl thinking this is too hard just do it on offline mode and it will be quite simple. Although bots are stupid and they take forever to help u…

I played through with this achievement with my brother and two bots. It was hard, but I made it. My brother would be the bodyguard, and i carried the gnome. I ended up beating a with to death with it. (mostly) During the finale, i left it behind the rise where the drummer usually is for safe keeping. By the end, my brother was down, one bot was dead, the other still alive. I was in the helicopter, holding the gnome when a spitter spat into the chopper. I teleported to the middle of the arena. I was like “Where’s the freaking gnome!?” I help my brother up, gave him adrenaline, and we rushed for the helicopter, promising we’d get it next time. There it was. Levitating just above Ellis’s head, smiling down as if saying “I waited for you! Aren’t you happy?” I grabbed him, my brother hopped on, and I was freaking done with that horribly cheery face.

I did this same achievement…twice. During the final scene, I accidentally dropped the stupid gnome out of the chopper, and had to start all over from the beginning. Gnome Chompski can go rot in hell, but my avatar has a cool Depeche Mode shirt now…so I guess it works.
