![]() Overview:
Introduction: (Official Description from the US Playstation website) When the Empire begins its reign of destruction in a thirst for natural resources, it’s up to Max Brawley, a retired Gatling Gear pilot, to stop them. Together with his niece and his trusty Gatling Gear unit he must fight his way to the heart of the Empire and eliminate the destruction at its source. Gatling Gears is a fun little game if you like dual stick shooters. There's a demo you can try if you want to see what it's like before buying. There are several different levels and multiple "areas" of each level to play through. The enemy types are fairly varied in their attacks and overall the game is pretty enjoyable. If you're looking for an easy 100% though, this is probably not the game. Most of the trophies are not too bad, but beating the game on Hard can be quite difficult in spots and it's required for the Veteran trophy. Roadmap: Depending on how good you are at dual stick shooters, you may be able to beat the campaign on hard without upgraded parts and skip a second playthrough, however, it is very difficult in my opinion and the path I'll be suggesting below requires two playthroughs of the campaign. Step 1: Single Player Campaign on Easy Play through the campaign on easy and collect enough gold bundles to unlock Take it to the Max. Also try to collect Green Peace, Thunder Struck, and Mine! Mine! Mine! while you're playing on easy. If you don't get them the first time through you can always get them via chapter select later. During this step, you'll also unlock the following story related trophies: Iron Man, Second in Command, and Back to Retirement. Step 2: Chapter Select for Hard Cleanup Using chapter select, complete each area of each chapter on Hard difficulty. This will get you the Veteran trophy. By doing this through chapter select, you will be able to use your fully upgraded walker, making Hard a bit more manageable. Step 3: Survival Mode Complete all three of the survival levels. You'll also need to complete a survival level without dying. I'd recommend just playing through all three arenas first as you may unlock Survival of the Fittest during the course of normal play. Survival mode is not too difficult on Easy. Completing all three arenas will unlock Gladiator. Step 4: Co-op At this point you should only have one trophy left, You Never Walk Alone. You can either try to find a partner in the boosting thread or follow the method in the trophy description to do it by yourself. Gameplay Notes and Tips:
Trophy Guide: Can't Touch This ![]() Complete an area in Katharsis without getting hit In order to unlock this trophy, you'll need to complete an area of Chapter 5 without getting hit. That's right, you can't take any damage for the entire area. This is one of the harder trophies in the game. Just stick with it and keep practicing and you'll eventually get through. I'll post the method I used in this spoiler:

Back to Retirement ![]() Defeat Julius Steelwell and save the world by destroying The Butler Story Related, cannot be missed.
Veteran ![]() Complete all areas on the hardest difficulty For this trophy you will need to beat every area on Hard. This can be done through chapter select and all your upgrades will still be applied to the walker. On the bottom left of the chapter select screen you will see the highest difficulty you've beaten each area and overall chapter on. You need to have three stars for each chapter in order for this trophy to unlock. On Hard, enemies do 4 times the damage they did on easy and you only have 1 extra life as opposed to the 3 on easy. Additionally, there is almost no period of invincibility after you get hit, so if several bullets hit you in a row, most if not all of them will do damage. Try to unlock the final skin in the Pirate Shop as quickly as possible. This will help a little bit when playing the levels on Hard. Be aware though, that hard is still very challenging as things can go bad quickly and there are no checkpoints. The boss battles especially, can prove difficult with only one life and increased enemy damage. Try to learn their attack patterns and save your spark bomb till the third phase when things get crazy. One final warning, the fourth area of chapter 5 is a beast on Hard. It makes all the previous sections seem simple. Dodging all the waves of bullets will be the key due to the limited amount of damage you can take on Hard. The weapons simply don't do enough damage to kill large vehicles quickly before they start filling the screen with bullets. If you have 100% for Super Stardust HD or similar games, then you might not have much trouble, but for everyone else, just stick with it and keep practicing. If you can somehow make it past all the tanks, walkers, heavy troops, etc, all the way to the end of the level, save the spark bomb because 2 giant tanks show up at the very end and it will be nearly impossible to survive without it. Quote:
Gladiator ![]() Clear all Survival mode arenas This will unlock after completing all three survival levels. This can be done on any difficulty. You will not get your upgraded equipment for survival mode, but it's really not too tough on easy. There are 10 waves you need to survive and level 1 and 3 have additional requirements. Survival of the Fittest ![]() Complete a Survival mode arena without losing a life As the trophy says, complete any of the Survival Mode arenas without losing a life. This can be done on any difficulty. I'd recommend the first level, but do whichever you feel comfortable with. It's not too tough on easy, just try to keep constantly moving and take out the larger vehicles as quickly as possible since they usually spam the most bullets at you.
Iron Man ![]() Learn how to operate your walker and complete Bootcamp Story Related, cannot be missed.
Second in Command ![]() Defeat General Brutus by destroying The Excavator Story Related, cannot be missed.
You Never Walk Alone ![]() Complete an area in co-op This can be done on any area of any chapter. It can either be done by yourself with two controllers or you can find a partner in the boosting thread Two Controller Method: I'd suggest doing the Bootcamp section of the Prologue chapter on easy difficulty. You will need to move both players to advance the camera. My strategy was to move both till enemies appeared then just leave the second player at the bottom of the screen and kill all the enemies like normal. Don't forget the second player has a spark bomb if things get bad. On easy, you should have no trouble finishing the area. Quote:
Take it to the Max ![]() Fully upgrade your walker The walker can be upgraded at any Pirate Shop. These are located at the beginning of each area. You will need a total of 68 bundles of gold to fully upgrade your walker. There are three bundles in each area, except for the final area of each chapter which only has 1 bundle. Most are in plain sight, but I made a gold bundle guide if you're having trouble finding any. Remember you do not need to collect all gold bundles to fully upgrade your walker. There are 78 total and you only need 68. Gold Locations Guide Green Peace ![]() Don't push over any trees in Tresspassers Tresspassers is the first area of chapter 1(Elysium Fields). Some of the trees on this level will fall over if you walk into them. For this trophy you will need to make sure not to move over any trees. Shooting trees with rockets, grenades, etc. will not cause them to fall over, so no need to worry about that. If you do knock over a tree, just select Restart from the menu. Thunder Struck ![]() Destroy all lightning harvesters in Fog of War Fog of War is the first area of chapter 3(Thunder Valley). See the trophy image to find out what a harvester looks like. For this trophy you will need to destroy each one in the Fog of War area. There are a total of 8. See spoiler for text locations. I also made a video of the locations if you prefer that format. The first harvester is around 1:30.
Mine! Mine! Mine! ![]() Don't take any damage from sea mines in Tide of Battle Tide of Battle is the second area of Chapter 4(The Drylands). You'll see the first mines a little way into the level when one of the characters comments on how the Empire has drained the oceans. Just avoid taking damage from these mines for the entire area and the trophy will unlock. The easiest way is to shoot them before you get close and then wait for them to explode. Just take it slow and make sure not to get too close when they explode. Only the round spiked mines (like in the trophy image) count for this. Anything else that explodes will not affect the trophy.

very good guide.
I got the "Cant touch this" trophy last night without any guides. Didnt think there was anyone out there going for it. Did Chapter 5 , Level 1 (Terminal) a couple of times and after 2 hours finally made it thru without a scartch. I usually waited after each round until my rockets filled up (6 max) and carried on. Altho level 2 seems shorter than any other levels on chapter 5...Terminal is the easiest. Now onto Veteran...dreading this one lol

The last boss is really easy once you understand the patterns.
the first part with the legs is the easiest, you need to pass this part with no health lost to deal with the difficult third section. It's all pretty manageable I think until the tanks that knock your weapons come out. But by then, the boss' health is pretty much down to zero so it's not too bad. The key is skillful dodging and killing the boss asap, swatting the missiles out of the air and killing enemies is not the priority since the legs are almost dead. the second part is quite easy as well. you'll notice the shots that come from the left and right turrets fan out to the sides, making dodging bullets and boulders very difficult in those corner areas. the key is staying in the middle to since you only have to dodge the rocks. you'll see a pattern and after a few tries you'll be able to dodge the rocks with no health lost. Rockets seem to do more damage than other attacks, and he should be dead by the time he starts shooting water (or steam?) at you. This is the easiest and fastest part of the boss battle. the third part with the turret is a pain in the ass. the boss itself is really easy, but the immobilizing tanks make navigating the level impossible. save your rockets to kill the tanks ASAP, they seem to come in intervals of two. i would save your spark bomb for this phase, although it only takes off about 1/3 of his health, so it's more for crowd control. this will be the hardest leg of the boss battle, aim to get here with full health intact and with your spark bomb to give you breathing room. once you see the pattern this boss is cake. let me know if anything's unclear |

It's quite clear thanks. It's true these immobilizing tanks are really annoying, without them, the third part would be much easier.
As i don't really care for my score, i used the spark bomb during this phase. It took several tries, but i finally did it. Now the worst part: julius's nature with it's load of heavily armored tanks and walkers (i hate these walkers)
