    As mentioned in the other guide, you'll need to assist the keeper to kill 7 different types of enemies in one game. First, you'll need to be able to call in the keeper. To do so, you'll need to have collect 3 parts (as for the zombie shield). One very important thing for this achievement is to KEEP YOUR STARTING PISTOL, in order to be able to deal with spiders and parasites.

    One part always can be found in Mob of the dead or Origins (flag/steering wheel). I often find that part hanging on the wall in the cafetaria, next to Mule Kick.
    -It can also be found in Origins close to the area where you can actually summon the keeper protector (opposite the mystery box and double tap).
    - It can also spawn on top of the excavation site.


    One part can always be found in Der Eisendrache or Kino Der Toten (pink crystal). I've found it:
    - Laying against the pyramid
    - On top of a table on your right hand side when you enter the room with the statues (also where the mystery box is at)
    - On a table near the Gubblegum machine in Kino der Toten, and next to the jump pad which takes you to Verruckt.

    One part can always be found in Verruckt (Skull). I've found it on a chair next to the jump pad when coming from Mob of the Dead.
    - On top of the stairs on a wheelchair, in between the mystery box loaction and the corruptiopn engine.
    - On a Shelf next to Speed Cola

    Here's a video for that if you prefer so:

    Next, you'll need to build the keeper protector. You can do so in Verruckt (upstairs), Origins (near the box) and in Kino Der Toten (on the stage). After doing so, you can summon the keeper protector for 5000 points in any of these 3 areas. The keeper protector will then follow you for a minute or so, killing zombies and other enemies on it's way.

    Now in order to assist a keeper in killing every type of enemy, you'll need to damage an enemy, and then let the keeper finish him off. (E.g. hit a zombie with one bullet, and then wait until the keeper kills him).

    When I went for this achievement, I did not activate the corruption engine in Verruckt yet, but I did do the other 3. A perkaholic gubblegum will definitely help. Otherwise, get yourself Juggernog, quick revive and Mule Kick. Mule kick is necessary as you'll be keeping your starting pistol. When I had collected the parts and had enough cash to summon the protector, I did so at Verruckt and then assisted the keeper protector in killing both Furies (Kind of look like dogs) and keepers. I did more then one of each just to be sure.
    Keeper
    Fury


    Then I caught the beast in Nacht Der Untoten, which allowed me to go inside the beast. I did one more round and activated the Keeper again at the start of the round after that. I immediately ran for the beast. Now assist the keeper in killing a regular zombie, but more importantly, shoot a spider or a parasite which spawns inside the beast, once with your starting pistol, and then let the keeper finish him. Reason that you need your starting pistol is that shooting them with any other gun will instantly kill them. If you fail to kill those, try again some later round. Parasites can also spawn by shooting an eye from a margwa or by getting a "special round". This can also spawn keepers and furies.
    Regular zombie
    Parasite
    Spider


    Now, you''ll have just 2 enemies left. If you stay for long enough inside the beast a margwa will spawn. However, around round 12-13-14, a margwa will spawn as well. Just shoot one of the eyes from the margwas, and then keep running in circles, killing off regular zombies and letting the keeper finish off the margwa.
    Margwa (either the purpe or the regular margwa)

    Now the Panzer will spawn somewhere around round 17-18-19-20. When he does spawn, immediately head for a summoning spot for the keeper protector and call him in. Now shoot one or two magazines into the panzer, and then let the keeper finish him off.
    Panzer

    Now by the time I had killed the panzer, I did not assist the keeper in killing a spider yet, as I had killed 3 spiders with my starting pistol (probably due to having deadshot daiquiri), and the other spiders which spawned where killed by the keeper before I could damage them. Therefore, I think that there is a possibility that the spider is not required, but I'd assist the keeper in killing him just to be sure.


    Let me know if, and so how I can improve this guide.

    SeitzzYeah I'm not convinced you need to shoot any of the enemies either. I think you just need to have the keeper kill each type and that's it.

    Moldy Tacos5000Just tested this today, can confirm that you don't need to shoot the things at all, just let the Keeper kill them. Also if playing co-op each person needs to do this separately, it does not pop for everyone in the match.

    BabyishDuckAll enemies can't be found inside the Apothicon. This guide is misleading.

    TPGxSwift@BabyishDuck yes they can.
    Posted by TPGxSwift on 12 Oct 16 at 16:10
    TPGxSwift@BlackJack xo you can do it with unlimited keepers as long as it is in the same game.

    First of all im gonna start by saying the achievement description is WRONG, you do not need to damage the enemies/assist, just make sure the keeper takes the kills!

    how to build the keeper:


    The enemies that need to die are

    panzers: spawns round 18 and above

    “furies”
    which are the small creatures that crawl towards you
    the red keepers
    which start spawning consistently above round 15

    spiders
    which are always found in the apothican stomach

    margwas
    (you only need to make sure he kills any 1 type either purple or orange

    the rotten variant of the zombie

    which is always spawns in the apothican stomach which is accessible through the pack a punch step

    and the parasyte

    which are small flying red/orange creatures that spawn every 5 rounds

    make sure you have some extra credit gobblegums to get some more points for the keeper between rounds or some reign drops since he is quite costly (5000) points per keeper.. he is infinite though so you can summon him as many times as possible as long as you have the points

    the keeper helmet can also help as it gives you 30 extra seconds with the keeper

    how to build the helmet:
