Some tips for the DLC trophies

jadaou · 03-09-2011, 03:04 AM

I've done some of the trophies from the DLC and so far they are pretty straight forward. Here are a few things that may help just in case you are having trouble with them:

High Roller
Win 10,000 florins playing Hazard
- since the Hazard game is based on luck, I just did the max bid (7,500) until I won two rolls. If you're using your old save file then you probably have tons of money so you can get this quickly just by doing the max bid.

Strong-Arm
Throw a Long Weapon, Heavy Weapon, and Smoke Bomb more than 10m at a guard
- I locked-on to a guard with a Long Weapon, walked as far away without losing the lock-on then threw it at the guard. Then I did the same thing with a Heavy Weapon and the Smoke Bombs.

Airstrike
Kill 10 guards with a single arrow storm
- I ran around getting guards to chase me until I had at least 10 after me. Then I just called an Arrow Storm killing them all. I had to do this a couple of times, so just be sure you actually have at least 10 arrows on screen chasing you.
- as per dpK5e7's suggestion, you can also get this during the first DLC mission where you get jumped by the robed attackers.

Special Delivery
Double Assassinate from a parachute
- This one was a little tricky. I got it in the end by jumping off the Colosseum and parachuted over a a group of four guards. As I approached the guards I locked-on then attacked when I was in range. You may have to do this a few times to get your approach right and also to get the double kills when you finally attack. I found the Colosseum was the best area because of the open space.

Going Up
Kill a guard with the bag that drops from a lift
- Once again I started a chase, drew the guards under the lift then used it. It helps if you pause for a second before using the lift to get the guards directly under the bag.

Easy Come, Easy Go
Pay 500 florins to an orator, then pickpocket him afterward
- Very straight forward, just pay one of those guys to bring down your wanted level, then rob them.

Grand Theft Dressage
Steal 5 horse from their riders, while remaining on horseback
- I got this trophy by hijacking 5 horses while riding a horse. I didn't do this in one shot and I found it easier in the countryside where I had space to run.

Clowning Around
Beat up the 5 thirsty harlequins
- run along the river in the city area finding harlequins that are doing handstands. You'll find 3 of them on stairs that lead into the river, one under a bridge and the last one near the cliffs that surround one of the Borgia/Assassin towers (the one with a moat). As you approach the harlequins they will fall and then attack you. Do not kill them, just beat up all 5 of them to unlock the trophy. A good tactic is to attack while they go down to grab dirt. Otherwise I found they dodged my punches and kicks very well.

The last 2 trophies are for completing the DLC and for getting 100% sync in both the main game and the DLC. Nothing complicated here, although the 100% sync one could take you a while if you hadn't 100% synced the main part already.

Thanks for posting this. All I need is to beat up the 5 thirsty harlequins. Any idea where these harlequins are?

I haven't done that trophy yet, but from what I just read online you just need to find 5 harlequins and beat them up. They should spawn close to the river, hence the thirsty part.

I just got to chapter 8 of the DLC. I'll hopefully finish it off tomorrow and will confirm the harlequin trophy.

Really thats your guess? I haven't found them yet but my guess is they would be closer to a pub of some sorts.

For Airstrike, just do the first DaVinci mission. When you walk out of the Theives Guild, 10 guys attack you and DaVinci's assistant. Call in an arrow storm and the trophy will pop. It worked for me.

I got the Clowning Around trophy and yes the harlequins are all located near the river. I'll post back with locations.

For the clowns, I found this post (copied here): http://www.trueachievements.com/achi...ementid=147998

Harlequin Locations

Note: Sometimes they won't appear so run away and come back. Or use a Tunnel to travel away and then back.

Also, if they die by some other means of your fists, do the same thing as above. They respawn.

You have to beat up (use must use your fists) 5 thirsty Harlequins. You will know if it counted because it says "X of 5 Harlequins beaten up." They are near the water, hence the thirsty part. So look along the river. 4 are in Centro District and 1 is in Campagna District.

I. The First Harlequin is in Centro District North and a bit west beside the river. He is between the Highest Doctor symbol on the map and the second Highest Tunnel Entrance. He is on some stairs going into the water.

II. The Second Harlequin is in Centro District North West beside the river again. He is to the East of the Bridge that goes to Vanticao District. Starting from the beginning of the bridge, if you use your map and go along the river East you will see a shaded area with a lighter circle in the middle. Go North of that circle and you will see a set of double stairs. He is on those stairs.

III. The Third Harlequin is in Centro District West beside the river. Go to ROSA IN FIORE and go directly west from there. He is on a set of stairs again.

IV. The Fourth Harlequin is in Centro District South East under a bridge beside the river. Go to Ezio's Hideout and go DIRECTLY south of it. On your map you should see a Bridge that has lines going across it. He is under that bridge on the left side.

V. The Fifth and Last Harlequin is in Campagna District beside the Borgia Tower (Or Assassin's Tower) that is surrounded by water and cliffs. If you use your map and go West slightly from the Borgia/Assassin's Tower and then go slightly North, you will see a small rectangle that represents a small building. Go there and the Harlequin is behind the Small building along the edge of the cliff.

He meant it as a joke. There's a famous line from the movie "Aliens".

"We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly."

It also shows up in a few South Park episodes. Cartman says it.
