I did not create this guide
It was put together impart with contributions by
GameFAQs members on the Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a
Pulse board, around the time of the games release.
In which I made some contributions too.

http://www.bitwerkz.com/stubbs/ is the guide’s original site.
AVG says the site is a threat so I Just wanted to copy the guide directly
to GameFAQs; as well as cleaning it up and adding the video link.

“If you've played the hilarious game Stubbs the Zombie you've
probably found some of the many "Hippo Heads" that Wideload
has sprinkled throughout the game.
You also probably figured out very quickly that they were little
bookmarks that trigger in game developer commentaries reflecting
on that specific area and the game in general.

The purpose of this guide is to provide clear, detailed locations
for the 53 known Hippo Heads in the game.

2006.01.24 - James Stenander wins the Hippo Headhunter
Gold Class award for finding the last missing Hippo Head in
Level 7 - The Fall of the House of Otis, (head # 2), and
completing our guide!       Thanks James!


The UnOfficial Stubbs the Zombie Hippo Head Guide



----------- 1 Welcome To Punchbowl
Hippo Heads - 7


1) Punchbowl Plaza: From the spawn point in front of the
Savings & Loan, go to the right down the middle of the street
to the tall structure/sculpture in the center.
Hop up on the base and follow it around to the other side for
a Hippo Head.

2) Punchbowl Plaza: From the Savings & Loan go left down
the sidewalk to
Mitch's Hovercars. In front of the last door on the left is a
Hippo Head.

3) Town Square Left: From the spawn point in front of the
gates go to your left, (clockwise), until you see the white
wooden barricade blocking off the street.
Go to your right down the steps and just past the handrail
until you can jump up to your left into an upper grassy
area and making your way around the barricade and going
back towards the building and finally to the sidewalk on
the outer perimeter.
Follow the sidewalk clockwise to the 4th set of double
doorways for the Hippo Head.

4) Continue along the outer sidewalk.
You'll pass another street veering off to the left that is
also barricaded, 3 street lamps and then 3 little alcoves on your left.
In the 4th one is a Hippo Head.  Now back to the entrance for your
next 2 Hippo Heads.

5) Central Town Square Right: We're doing the exact same
thing from the entrance except in the opposite direction, following
the outer perimeter sidewalk counter clockwise this time.
Again in front of the 4th set of double doorways is a Hippo Head.
6) Continue past a barricaded street, (this time on your right), past only
2 street lamps and there in front of the 2nd set of double doors in this
area is another Hippo Head.

7) Just past this is the entrance to the Monorail. Don't go in just yet.
Getting anywhere near the Monorail entrance triggers the cutscene
and the end of the level. Instead cross the street to the grassy area and
follow it to your right passing the Monorail entrance and 2 more sets of
double doors. In the last little alcove set into the building on your right is
the Hippo Head


----------- 2 Bleeding Ground
Hippo Heads - 6

1) Greenhouse Dome area 1: From spawn point: Directly in front of you to
your left is a landscape pod. Follow around its base clockwise & climb up
the hill to the fence on your right when you can.

right you'll see 2 Fixit Bots in front of 2 computer banks/control panels.

right and hop the rail to your left for your Hippo Head. Now go to the
opposite end of the room, hit the big red button and return to
Greenhouse area 1 for morefighting and then proceed to....

Notes: The big red button you hit unlocks 2 new areas in the previous
greenhouse area:

which opens vertically.
2. (Clockwise to your left) A double sliding door marked with yellow &
black & 1109 over the top.

5) Greenhouse Tunnels 3: In room # 3 on your left, can't miss this
Hippo Head. Follow tunnels and a cutscene will take you to a clear
tunnel.
There is one more area behind you to explore but there's nothing there.
If you turn around and backtrack to the room behind
you with the "Gift Shop" arrow on the floor, turn right & follow past the
Fixit Bot you come to one more empty room. Anyway, you can hang
out in the tube & cops will shoot at you but the tube's bullet proof.

around left and leads to a Hippo Head.
(Hint: On the sidewalk in front of the Multiplex to hear some funny
movie previews).
Follow the street past: Mr. Suit, Skinner & Van Pelt Furriers,
Stretchies Big & Tall around to where you see Philbert's great big
curved red & white flashing neon arrow sign on your right.
Here you have 2 choices.

Level Exit: There are 2 ways to reach the end of this level and get

----------- 6 Punchbowl Maul
Hippo Heads - 4


Storage Room: You spawn into a small storage room with two of
the Quaker
State Irregulars. Zombify them & exit this room to the Punchbowl
Mall exterior.

Notes:  This map is simply one big, fat, short "U" shaped area.
From the spawn point follow the street in either direction until it
dead ends into whatlooks like a wide, closed garage door for two
of the Hippo Heads.

1) Mall Exterior Left : Facing the Punchbowl Mall entrance turn left
and
follow the street all the way down and around to your right to the

counter on your right.See the crate? See the tip of the Hippo Head snout

"Chainsaw Jumbo???"


----------- 7 Fall of the House of Otis
Hippo Heads - 10


1) Cornfield #1: From spawn point, first cornfield on left in front of
scarecrow is the Hippo Head.

Hippo Head.

3) Cornfield #3: From spawn point, 3rd cornfield, 3rd scarecrow on right
in front of scarecrow is the Hippo Head. Exit this area via a dirt trench

is a scarecrow.
To the scarecrow's front right is the Hippo Head.

5) Cornfield #6: Behind the Sheep pen is Cornfield #6. Near the
scarecrow, hidden in the 5th row of corn from the very back is a
Hippo Head.
When this area is completely zombified go into the far back,
left corner of the fence behind the trees to the left of the house.
Approach the lone Sheep for a little Easter Egg. Follow along the
fence to the Impala & take it for a joy ride down the dirt road with the
hilly area on the right.

6) Back Pasture: When you enter the next open area you'll see
some hay bundles in front to your right.
Follow the wooden fence to your left all the way to the back, left
corner of this area for a Hippo Head.

7) Red Barn: Enter the red barn via the stairs on the side, (only way in
as Stubbs).
Go forward on the upper left walkway all the way to the far left corner.
Behind several hay bails is a Hippo Head.

8) Grain Silo: Trigger the Pattonesque "Brains" speech to open the barn
door with the American flag. In front of you is the Farmhouse and to your
left is a tall, round
Grain Silo. Inside its top windows is a Sniper. Launch the hand, climb up
to the window and possess him. Inside this small narrow area is a
Hippo Head.

9) Farmhouse Interior 1st Floor: In the fireplace just before stairs, you may
need to crouch to reach this Hippo Head.

10) Farmhouse Interior 2nd Floor: Just before you enter the round open
balconyarea in the middle of the house look inside the small closet like
space at the end of this room for the Hippo Head.


----------- 8 When the Zombie Breaks
Hippo Heads - 5


1) Treatment Plant Lobby: From spawn point, follow room clockwise.
Near two Fixit Bots by computers in corner is the Hippo Head.
Now follow the hallway with pipes on the walls to Rm. 2.

2) Boiler Room 1: Enter, turn right, go all the way into the corner with
the control panel and the Fixit Bots for a Hippo Head.

3) Boiler Room 2: From entrance directly across the room in the left
hand corner is a Hippo Head.

Water Treatment Vats 1: No known Hippo Heads. When you enter
there is a Fixit Bot and 3 control panels on your immediate right.
Use all 3 control panels. This shuts off the fresh air vents on the
far wall allowing the air in here to turn toxic to humans.
It will also kill anyone you possess, only zombies & bots are
immune.
When done stay put.

Water Treatment Vats 2: No known Hippo Heads. This next room
is a total breeze if you use your head…uh, I mean your hand.
Park Stubbs in a safe place in Water Treatment Vats 1 & let your
zombie buddies move ahead & keep everybody busy while you throw
your hand.
Send that creepy little bastard into Water Treatment Vats 2 up high
on the left wall to the opposite end of the room where you find...
3 more control panels!
Throw all 3 switches shutting off the fresh air vents and zombify the
whole room in one sweet move! Take the elevator to the right of the 3
control panels up to the next area.

Control Room 1: No Hippo Heads. Exit the elevator, enjoy the cutscene,
eat the brains and make your way to Zombie Observation.

Zombie Observation: No Hippo Heads. Break the glass, free the zombies
& make your way to the nextcontrol room.

Control Room 2: (10 big pipes coming out of the floor) Use the ramps on
either side to reach the upper area and access the only control panel which
causes an explosion breaking the glass.

4) Control Room 3: Either jump through the newly broken window,
jump/crouch to get past the pipes and drop down to your immediate
right for your Hippo Head.
Use the nearby control panel to unlock the exit.

5) Water Supply Treatment Basin: All the world is your urinal! But WAIT!
Before you start whizzing do the following:
Turn around to your right & run back across the catwalk to the building
you came from in the cutscene. Don't go left into the entrance, instead
go right to what looks like a dead end catwalk, keep running... hey what's
that waaayyy down at the end? It's your Hippo Head.

Notes: Jumping in this area will likely get you blown off the platform and to
your death by a Gravity Rifle.
Falling into the inner tank, (where you'll be whizzing), is safe. You just slide
down a drain pipe to a lower area with 2 ramps leading back up top.
Hint: jumping in here is a great way to bail out & get safe if your health
gets dangerously low.
Now take poor old Stubbs out to the rails in the central area for a long
overdue whiz.

Upper Dam Bridge: No Hippo Heads. Make your way across the upper
dam or bridge & take the elevator down.

Punchbowl Power Plant: No Hippo Heads. Activate 3 generators & proceed
to exit.

Lower Dam Breaker Terminals: No Hippo Heads. The Rancid Baptism of
Punchbowl. I swear I searched this entire area on foot, by hand and even
with a possessed Barbershop Security Guard and found
ZERO Hippo Heads.


----------- 9 The Sacking of Punchbowl
Hippo Heads - 2


1) Punchbowl Crafts: From spawn point get up & follow street left past
giant foot with red shoe in the middle of the street, through gap in middle
of yellow & black marked barricade, past cop car on your right, (this is
the Punchbowl Crafts building) & follow the sidewalk past the store to a
little niche in the wall on your right for a Hippo Head there. Now follow
the street to the Diner for some good music & a great meal on the
house!
Be sure to check out the menu on the wall behind the counter!

2) Minefield Streets 1: Exit Spanky's Diner & watch out for those mines.
Across the street to your right is a wrecked cop car, just to the right and
behind it is a little narrow alley with a Hippo Head. Follow the
alley, (avoiding the first set of land mines), and continue the battle until you
come to a large corrugated metal barrier you have to break down.
Possessing a Rocket Launcher soldier works great here.
You can also ram it repeatedly with the jeep or just beat it down
with your zombie buddies.
Now break into the Punchbowl Library and move onto the next area.

Minefield Streets 2: No known Hippo Heads. A great area to practice
possessions before you finally break down the barrier.



----------- 10 The Doctor Will See You Now
Hippo Heads - 7

Trivia: What's that big sculpture in the middle of the lobby? It's a model of
a Methane atom.


1) & 2) Lab Lobby: On the upper walkway on each far end is a door which
will open when you approach. Inside these rooms are Hippo Head #1
and Hippo Head #2.
Go back downstairs & proceed to the UP escalator.

Lab 2nd Floor: No known Hippo Heads. Clear the area and head up to the
escalatorto the 3rd Floor.

3) Lab 3rd Floor: When you get off the escalator walk forward to the first
door on your left. Inside the bathroom to the left of the doorway is a
Hippo Head. Take the escalator to the 4th floor.

Lab 4th Floor: No known Hippo Heads. Use the control panel in the
last room & take the elevator to the 5th floor.

Lab 5th Floor: No known Hippo Heads. Clear the area and take the
escalator to the 6th Floor.

4) Lab 6th Floor: You enter the first room with a surrounding walkway
and an opening into the level below.
(Hint: Possess a Head Scientist with a Gravity Rifle and wipe out the
six Fixit Bots in this room first.)
Go left through the sliding bars/door and forward through the first room &
into the next one with the big red button on the far wall, (opens the exit
and activates the Fixit Bots,
(who will attack you),in the previous room).
Just inside the doorway to your left is your Hippo Head. Follow this level,
(its linear), and take the escalator to the 7th floor.

5) Lab 7th Floor: Go through the first small room & exit through the
opposite door into the hallway.
A few steps down on your right is a small control panel against the right wall,
(looks like an old arcade video game).
Down near the floor to its left is a small open vent. Send in your Hand and
followthe air duct which leads to a small Hidden Room with one Scientist.
In the corner your immediate right is a Hippo Head. On the far wall is a
big red button which activates one of those aggressive Fixit Bots near the
exit escalator. In the ceiling of this room is another open vent with ductwork
leading to the hallway with the escalator to the 8th floor.

6) Lab 8th Floor: In the final room there is a big round green
Teleportation Pad in the center of the floor, stay away from it for now.
In the corner of the room opposite of where you came in is another door;
behind it is a Hippo Head.
Once this area is clear step onto the Pad to be teleported to
Dr. Wye's Private Lab.

7) Dr. Wye's Private Lab: Get this Hippo Head before you tear into
Dr. Wye because beating him ends the level.
This is a big round room with an outer ring hallway and just inside an
inner ring hallwaywith elevators.
Remember the green arrowed escalator walkways? Walk around the
inner ring and look for the green arrow escalator deals only now
they're on the walls.
Follow this inner ring in a clockwise direction & you'll eventually
find one that works. Once on the upper level continue clockwise
jumping gaps when you need & you'll find the Hippo Head.

Move forward into the central lobby with a statue of Andrew Monday in
the middle.

On the left side of this wing,just past a sandbag barricade are two doors
to a bathroom,take the second one. Inside to your right just past
the water cooler is the Hippo Head.
The rest of this area is just an uphill fight leading to the final
Boss Battle with

Maggie's Melons

Video is here of the song
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/rebelwithoutapulse/
video/6136337/stubbs-the-zombie-in-rebel-without-a-
pulse-gameplay-movie-10

Some folks go for cantaloupe
and others honeydew
But I prefer a sweeter fruit
and I think you will too

Just step right up & take a gander at
the sight of Maggie's melons
You'll never find another fruit
that leaves you so impressed

They're all the rage at every age
from kids to grizzled felons
So plump & firm and succulent
each melon truly blessed

You'll never want to go without
you'll always want them near
But you can't get 'em just anywhere
you can only find these melons here
So step right up and place your order
for a taste of Maggie's melon's
They're only here in Punchbowl
Pennsylvania, USA

We'll seek them out like we're hungry
thirsty Ferdinand Magellans

'Cause those luscious melons are what I need
I won't chew your rind if you won't spit my seed

Oh Maggie won't you heave a couple melons my way!
