***Note***
Although this game doesn't require the Playstation Move, if you have the opportunity, I would advise you to use it. The controls using the standard Dualshock / Sixaxis are not that precise, and feel sluggish. You can use them, but the Move is the better option.
Also, most trophies in this game will be easier with multiple players. (Except the stars which multiplayer makes harder)

Step 1: Complete the Story Mode on Hard.
Just play through the game and have fun. Enjoy the story. You will get all the story-related trophies in this playthrough and most of the miscellaneous trophies just by playing the game. If you miss any trophy other than the story-related ones then don't panic, you can still play the game even after you've beaten it, returning to any level you desire.
Learn to perfect reload by instinct. This is done by pressing the reload button, (or trigger for the Move) during the reload when the progress bar is inside the gray section. It varies per weapon

Step 2: Clean-up and Collectibles.
You can either do this after step 1 or along with it. I suggest just playing through each level on Normal difficulty until you find the items for Collector’s Delight, No Stone Unturned, Scavenger, Treasure Hunter, and Make Us Whole.
Make sure as you go to try to get 5 stars on every level. See Mega Star for details. Many of the hidden trophies involve taking different paths, or shooting specific objects. Check each for details. You can also get Twice the Firepower here by playing with two local players at once.

Step 3: Play through the story mode on Impossible Difficulty.
After the collectibles, play through the story on Impossible difficulty, taking full advantage of playing these levels before. Know your hard points, and anticipate struggles. The difficulty trophies stack.

Step 4: Challenge Mode
As you go through the story, challenges will unlock. To get the trophies for the challenges, you must beat the top score for each level.
The challenge trophies, are possibly the hardest in my opinion. Some tips about completing these levels are as follows.
The biggest key is kill streaks. Kill streaks are kills you have gotten in a row WITHOUT receiving damage. Making sure to keep enemies at bay is crucial.

Platinum Trophy

Man Up Sweetheart
Unlock all trophies
This is the final goal. Unlock everything else, and this bad boy is yours.

Story-related Trophies

All of the chapter ending trophies are not difficulty dependent. They can be obtained on any available difficulty.

Difficulty Trophies

These trophies stack. As in, as you beat on Hard difficulty, you will get the trophy for Normal difficulty completion as well.
Survivor
Complete the game on "Normal"
Complete every chapter on "Normal" difficulty or higher.

P-Sec Officer
Complete the game on "Hard"
Complete every chapter on "Hard" difficulty or higher.

Necro Slayer
Complete the game on "Expert"
Complete every chapter on "Expert" or "Impossible". To unlock this difficulty, you MUST complete the game on a lower difficulty.
I would advise to skip "Expert" difficulty and move right to "Impossible".

Isaac 2.0
Complete the game on "Impossible"
Complete every chapter on "Impossible". To unlock this difficulty, you MUST complete the game on a lower difficulty.
In this mode health management is crucial. Use your stasis liberally, and learn which weapons are most effective versus each enemy. Be accurate, be quick.
If you lose your revive, play through level 2 on normal difficulty again. About 1/3 of the way through, this will be sitting in plain sight. (Just before the hostages). There is another revive kit in the medical office in chapter 7, just before you face the brute.

The revive kit, and ammo go across characters, (as long as you don't switch the weapons). Do this in case you need more health.
One other thing you can do is spam the (L2) button. Your melee, if you do it fast enough will break most enemies attacks. This is expounded if you use two players, having one melee, while the other shoots.

Challenge Mode Trophies

The challenge trophies, are definitively the hardest in my opinion. Difficulty does effect score, however, a perfect run on Normal Difficulty is easier than a good run on Impossible Difficulty.
The biggest key is kill streaks. Kill streaks are kills you have gotten in a row WITHOUT receiving damage. Making sure to keep enemies at bay is crucial. The contact beam, force gun, and line gun are great for this mode.

Overtime Sheet
Beat the top score on the "Extraction Site" Challenge
251,010 points
In this level, you will be fighting through the preparation area, all the way to to the first door beyond the marker

No Cop Duty
Beat the top score on the "Central Plaza" Challenge
252,010 points
In this level, you will fight from P-Sec Headquarters' front door to the door to the left of the entrance

Engineer By Trade
Beat the top score on the "Maintenance Bay" Challenge
253,010 points
You will be fighting in the area where you took off in the shuttle from the colony. Quick tip. Babies and Pregnants should be taken down with the Contact Beam

Laugh It Up Partner
Beat the top score on the "Mess Hall" Challenge
254,010 points
You'll start on the top floor of the mess hall, and work your way down to the lower exit. We are introduced to spitters here. Take away their power with head shots

Colony Full Of Crazy People
Beat the top score on the "Medical Bay" Challenge
255,010 points
You start near the security depot, and take several laps around the main ER room. Force gun away!

Need A Towel
Beat the top score on the "Water Tunnels" Challenge
256,010 points
You trek through the knee-high water. Really, just force gun, and make sure to blast the exploders from afar.

Herbal Remedies
Beat the top score on the "East Grow Chamber" Challenge
257,010 points
You will take several laps around the East Grow Chambers. Stasis the flying necromorphs, and shoot them down with the rivet gun when nothing else is on the screen.

Ready For Takeoff
Beat the top score on the "Shuttle Bay 47" Challenge
258,010 points
The force gun is your friend here, as you battle around the shuttle you use to escape in the story.

Bridge Commander
Beat the top score on the "Atrium" Challenge
259,010 points
The force gun is crucial here, especially when near the captain's nest, as the necromorphs come from both sides.

Get A Medic
Beat the top score on the "Life Support Room" Challenge
260,010 points
We go back to the first chapter's life support room. The twist on the rest of the challenges is in between each round, you can wait as long as you like. This means take the time to let your stasis recharge, and reload all your guns. Enjoy the force gun on all the leapers, and switch to your stasis and rivet gun (or contact beam if you get it luckily).

Action Trophies

You Need Glasses Partner?
Survive the shuttle flight with less than 10% shields intact
On chapter 4, you will be firing a cannon. I would advise to defend as well as you can against the asteroids. The ones you need to worry about are the gold ones. Once you get the cannon fire you can let most of them hit you. They take just a little over 5% for each group of 4 on Hard. You will have to defend one or two waves of the cannon fire near the end, but it should be easy to predict.

Twice The Firepower
Play cooperatively with a second player
This will unlock the instant a second player joins in. This can be in the middle of a chapter, beginning, or whenever. I obtained with two dualshock controllers, but any combination of move and/or standard controllers should work.

Sharpshooter
Shoot the box hanging from the crane on the surface of Aegis 7
In chapter one, right after the first bridge before the Marker, there is a crane with a box. Shoot it down by aiming at the cord right above it.

Too Much Firepower?
Open the secret weapons store in P-Sec
After Lexine joins your party in chapter 2, and the go down the elevator, quickly shoot the fuse box to access the supply closet.

What Did You Find?
Take a minor detour in the megavents
In chapter 3, when you have a choice to go down a ladder or cut through some "meat", choose to cut through the meat. You'll eventually come to a supply closet.

Taking Your Time, McNeill?
Admire the view in the crashed shuttle
Seriously? Ok. On level 4, after your shuttle crashes, TK, or "grab", Lexine as she bends over to pick up her helmet. Or really, for you the viewer.

Flushed
Defeat the giant necromorph in the water tunnels
The first boss in the game is at the end of chapter 6.
The first stage is to shoot the yellow points, and then when you come to a fan, use stasis. The fan will kick back up and cut the tentacle. Repeat on right tentacle.
Stage 2 requires you to TK the explosive barrels, and fire them at the tentacles as they approach.
Stage 3 has you TK the explosive goo he fires at you and throw it back at the small yellow orb at water level or use the arc welding gun. (this works really well).

Lexine, I Told You To Be Quiet!
Defeat the Brute
The brute reside in chapter 7, and really only has two stages.
Stage 1 will have you stasis the brute when it is close and charging. Shoot the yellow on its back to damage it. TK any acid it throws. Eventually it will rear back. Shoot its should to rip off an arm.
Stage 2 is much quicker, and all you have to do is throw back the acid it will be spewing at you.

Sack Blast
Defeat the giant necromorph on the hull of the Ishimura
This boss is found at the end of chapter 9, and will cycle through multiple stages as you go.
Stage 1: I would advise using the Pulse Rifle for this stage. Shoot the yellow bulbs as on the tentacles as you can see them. after three or four times stopping the tentacles, this stage will end.
Stage 2: I would advise using either the Flame Thrower or Rivet Gun. This is primarily to save ammo for the Pulse Rifle. In this stage, the boss will try to eat you. Small yellow pustules will surface. If you don't shoot them quickly, they will fire acid blobs at you. Quickly shoot each one, and the monster will pull away. Shoot the yellow mouth a couple times and this stage is complete.
Stage 3: I would advise using the Line Gun for this stage. A string of orange balls from its mouth. Shoot it nearest to the mouth as you can. This will destroy all the orbs at once, and save you ammo. Several leapers may drop in this stage, but that isn't a bad thing. Killing them will often drop health.
Stage 4: I would advise using either the Pulse Rifle or Contact Beam. Quickly shoot the small orb that appears at the of the appendage. If you use the Contact Beam, just fire a charged shot at it.
Now you just need to repeat that four times. If you mess up stage four at any point, you'll basically have to repeat all the stages for that round. This boss will go down after completing stage 4 five times.

Skill Trophies

Skill – Reload
Complete any level with at least 80% Perfect Reloads
This is something you should get while playing. This skill is one of the most useful in the game. During your reload a small gray rectangle will appear on the edge of you reticule. Press the reload button or trigger when the progress bar is inside this rectangle to get a Perfect Reload.

Skill – Accuracy
Complete any level with at least 80% Weapon Accuracy
This can be obtained in the story mode or challenge mode. Just be careful with your shots, and make sure to hit as many as you can. This can be done on a separate run than Skill - Stasis, so if you are having difficulty, abuse your stasis and rock saw.

Skill – Stasis
Complete any level with at least 80% Stasis Accuracy
Definitely the easiest skill trophy. In the first chapter, only use stasis on the broken electrical cords, and you will end the level with 100% stasis accuracy.

A Star Is Born
Complete any level with a 5 star rating
See Mega Star

Rising Star
Earn 10 Stars on one profile
See Mega Star

Super Star
Earn 30 Stars on one profile
See Mega Star

Mega Star
Earn 50 Stars on one profile
This can be rather trying, as some levels are long, and very difficult to maintain your high rating. Every chapter needs a 5-star rating to obtain this trophy, so get cracking. This is not contingent on difficulty, so I would advise doing the stars on normal difficulty, if the level is not at 5 on your first play through.
The things I have noticed that effect star rating is gun accuracy, stasis accuracy, damage taken, items obtained, and puzzle completions. If you do bad in any category it seems to dock your stars for it: especially damage taken and items obtained. I've not verified this, but I don't believe you can get five stars without getting almost all of the items in a given level.

Finally, a guide. Thanks for making it Jobe.

I will get the game tomorrow and definitely use the guide.

[Cornagandarub]

Sweet. Glad someone's started on this. A bit strange that this has a guide in progress and no one has even stepped up to make one for Dead Space 2.

EDIT: Nevermind, it looks like someone JUST started on it.

[Helsings V]

yes finally a guide, so now i can go buy that game now
thank you so much

This thread is titled "Trophy Guide," but I don't see a trophy guide anywhere. You need to write the guide prior to posting it... please don't try to reserve one by posting a skeleton or a bunch of "reserved" or "in progress" posts.

When your guide is finished, let me know and I can unlock this. Thanks.

EDIT: Thread reopened at request of OP.
