Hydrophobia Prophecy Trophy Guide and Road Map

Stealth - Kill the first 3 Malthusians first VFD facility without being detected
This happens right after you pick up your Gel Roundsfor the first time. Equip them, and shoot the guy on the right while his back is turned. Drop into the water, and crouch using immediately. Take cover. Wait until the two remaining enemies are grouped together, then take them out with another Gel ROund. If you are discovered, reload the checkpoint.

I used Stealth Takedown instead of explosive gel. Get the first guy on right and then get back to where you entered and wait for next guy to come inspect the body. I forgot to try but this could be good spot to get the medal where you need to headshot electrocuted/on-fire enemy. Stealth Takedown immbilizes them as they're electrocuted. Will check on next enemy I stealth kill and see if it gives the medal.

Nemesis - Discover who is behind the Malthusian Attack.
This should not be missable, as you find out who is behind the attack in Act 3. Unfortunately, this has not popped for me. It appears to be a fairly common issue, with no known fixes at this point, other than to keep trying.

I got this in ActII as part of story progression. A journal shows up and got the medal when I read the journal [press Select].

I always forget about the Stealth Takedown... I try to keep my distance so I forget that it exists sometimes haha. I'd love to include it in the guide, if that's okay with you. (With credit of course)

I'm getting ready to run through it again to clarify some other things... You got it in Act 2? I've read that it's supposed to be in Act 3... I'll make sure to check all journal entries in all the Acts as I go through this time.

[the_requiem]

I haven't got to Act3 yet and I think I saw it pop-up, unless I am confusing it with something else. Maybe journal entry is called Nemesis or something.

This game reminds me of Deus Ex/System Shock in some ways so my natural instinct is to play way I played them, stealthily. Something I noticed about Stealth Takedown, even if in combat, you can do Stealth Takedown if you manage to get drop on the enemy.

As for credit, am just glad to help folks who spend so much time and effort into helping others. I don't have the patience or time to write a guide, so really respect those who do. Think of my inputs as thank you notes.

EDIT: Can confirm I got Nemesis early on. It was around the second time Mila shows up on a vid screen. I got prompt to read a journal and got Nemesis. Will see if I can figure out which Journal it was.

Thanks for the tips, the_requiem.

[the_requiem]

You're welcome. I am unable to get Flood medal. Tried the location you mentioned, but didn't work. Could you be more specific?

[SparkleNFade]

Hey requiem... Sorry about the delay... My internet connection has been less than stable haha.

For the Flood medal, in the corridors after the flooded room with the wires touching the water (that you have to shoot), there's a corridor... Just shoot every window you see in that hallway and the next (If I remember right, there are five) and the corridor will flood up to the ceiling. I'm gonna go check it in a bit to refresh myself haha.

Also, for the people that need help with Megacombo:

I can't confirm this works for the medal, as I can't time the roll right, but it's worth a shot:

Hydrophobia - Breaking out of the Challenge Room - YouTube

Hydrophobia - Breaking out of the Challenge Room - YouTube

In this video, the player times a roll through the lasers in the challenge room into the area where the bombs spawn.

Hydrophobia - 952X combo - YouTube

Hydrophobia - 952X combo - YouTube

In this one you see how he allows the bombs to build up and just shoots them.

Again, I'm not sure if this counts for the medal as I can't get in there myself, but I don't see why it wouldn't, as other medals are attainable in the Challenge Room.

If anyone can confirm that this works, please let me know.

[the_requiem]

Aha, I think I counted 4 in my run and thought there were 3. Will need to try it again.

As for megacombo, I tried it but timing is rather tough. Won't be surprised if they modified the kill-box for PS3 version. Alternately, what I tried was start Practice mode, and just wait and gather all barrels so can shoot them later. But my L2 kinda misses a lot and ended up exploding barrels fequently by dropping them on each other. Will try that tactic sometime later and then let you know. Now time to string up goons in Arkham City.

Dont worry about delayed response, I been too busy past couple days [and will be in coming days] to even turn on my PS3.

Did anyone ever figure out what journal entry unlocks the nemesis medal? Do you HAVE TO READ the journal to get the medal?
