 Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 211 |  Borderlands ~ Trophy Guide/Roadmap  ~ Roadmap to the secret Platinum Treasure in Borderlands time to trophy Hunt ~ Overview: 1 - Estimated trophy difficulty: Based on a scale of 5 2 - Offline Trophies - 50 3 - Online Trophies 1 4 - Estimated amount of time to 100% - 20-30 Hours 5 - Minimum number of playthroughs needed 2-3 6 - Number of missable trophies - None 7 - Glitched trophies - Yes, sometimes the "Kill 25 enemies with weapon X" and run over 25 enemies with a vehicle trophy can be glitched a not unlock when you have met the requirement, to fix this simply start a new save and do it again, they're attainable but sometimes they glitch on you. 8 - Do cheat codes disable trophies ~ There are none 9 - Does difficulty affect trophies ~ There is no difficulty in this game 1 -  2 -  6 -  41 -  Introduction Borderlands is a great fun co-op game and single player, it lets you explore the world of Pandora. A RPG mixed with FPS, its humorous, fun and has a bazillion guns  It does a very good job with having a sense of that MMO feeling, good FPS play and a interesting RPG system/mechanics, probably one of the most interesting games of 2009 for the PS3. Call your buddies and have a blast!Roadmap Majority of the trophies can be achieved by playing by yourself, most of them are just tied to leveling, discovering certain quests that are story-related, so you pretty much get this as you go and level up to 50. There are some multiplayer trophies but most of them can also be done alone in the split-screen. However, the only trophy you need to get online is "They'll Tell Two Friends" but most likely if you have played a multiplayer game you already got this, so don't worry about it. In order to obtain every trophy, you will probably have to do 2 or 3 playthroughs total. Once you beat the game, your character keeps the weapon, money, loot but you can start again to keep leveling until 50. First playthrough should be Single-Player only, unless you have a really dedicated buddy who is willing to play on a scheduled basis throughout the game to get all the trophies/level/beat the game. The first playthrough will get you to level 36/37. Yours 1st playthrough will get you to 36/37, and get you majority of the trophies. You pretty much need a 2nd playthrough just to get to level 50 and get your platinum. The 4 trophies for each character's talent points should only take about 2 hours or so or maybe even less. Once your done with every story-releated trophy and leveling, you should start doing co-op online or offline/splitscreen to get the rest of the trophies. This is an easy platinum just a matter of dedication and some time consumption ~ Trophy Guide ~  - Borderland Defender - Description - You have defeated all bosses and are a powerful force to be reckoned with Earn every trophy in the game to obtain Platinum Trophy  - Paid in Fyrestone - Description - Completed 5 missions in the Arid Badlands Easy, this probably will be your 1st trophy that you get when you complete your 1st five missions at the start of the game in Arid Badlands.  - Made in Fyrestone - Description - Completed all missions in the Arid Badlands You have to complete a total of 44 missions in Fyrestone, that includes DR Zed, T.K Baha, Shed Sanders, and Claptrap and Bounty Boards missions - Paid in New Haven - Description - Completed 5 missions in the Rust Commons Can't miss this, you will get this as you go and quest through out the later areas in the game. - Made in New Haven - Description - Completed all missions in the Rust Commons Complete every single quest that you get in Rust Commonos East/West, New Heaven I believe the number is somewhere in the 60s... will have to double check that  - My Brother is an Italian Plumber - Description - Killed an enemy plumber-style This is a fun trophy and really cool You simply have to kill an enemy Mario style !

| Moderator & Guide Team Lead   Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Vancouver, BC Posts: 4,259  PSN ID: Mendel_Skimmel | I'd like you to at least post the full trophy list before doing anything else, rather than having a bunch of reserved posts. It isn't a race to get the guide posted, so just try to have at least the base of the guide posted while you work on the rest. __________________   Last edited by Mendel; 10-22-2009 at 07:31 AM. |
