Mahjong Tales: Ancient Wisdom - Trophy Guide


Recommended Posts

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/012.jpgSpeed Reader Bronze Trophy

Complete an ‘Ancient Tales’ Layout in less than 2 minutes

 

I got this trophy in 1:55 on the very first level on the first Tale "A Magic Paintbrush". Me and my mother were working on this so it greatly helps if you don't notice tiles as quick by yourself. Playing with someone next too you can help you spot moves much faster.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/015.jpgWhy Stop With Just One? Bronze Trophy

Complete a single Tale in ‘Ancient Tales’ Mode

 

This is another one that is really easy and straight forward Each Tale has 9 levels and there is only 1 tale available at the start and after you've done the 9 levels ( 9 levels = 1 tale ) then you unlock the Trophy.

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/006.jpgDidn’t Buy a Clue Bronze Trophy

Complete an entire Tale without using the Hint Button

 

Another simple trophy. If you sit and play a tale (remember theirs 9 stages in a tale) without using the hint button to find what tiles to take away, then your good for the trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/001.jpgMatchmaker Silver Trophy

Match 2000 sets of Tiles

 

Just play normally in the Ancient Tales mode and when you get to Tale 3 about the 5th - 7th Level of the tale you unlock the trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/010.jpgSage Bronze Trophy

Complete all Tales in ‘Ancient Tales’ Mode

 

This is easy to grab. Just play and complete all 5 tales (9 levels each tale) and you'll get the trophy.

Come Out and Play Bronze Trophy

Play 50 Network Games

 

Me and a friend (thanks Dropeti) did this. We got this as we were getting "The Duelist" and "The Gunslinger" trophies by getting one person to make a public room online (make sure it's the correct person you want too play against). Start the game and have each person quit out of the game. Do this up to a total of 50 times and you will get the Trophy.

The Gunslinger Bronze Trophy

Win 25 Network games

 

Me and a friend (thanks Dropeti) would both play online. He made the public room (or you can take turns making rooms) and i would click join game and if he sees me appear next to the word Guest then he will click start game. We couldn't get invitations to lobby to work, so we had to do it the other way. If you don't see the correct host (or guest incase your hosting) back out and select it again till you see your friends name. So we took turns quitting 5 times each to get up to 25 wins for each other and then you will obtain the trophy. This was some time ago and hardly anyone played online so it's good to get a boosting partner. While doing it 5 times in a row we got “The Duelist Trophy“ as well.

The Duelist Bronze Trophy

Win 5 Network games in-a-row

 

Refer to "The Gunslinger" on how to get this trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/009.jpg

Quick on the Draw Bronze Trophy

Make 5 Quick Matches in-a-row

 

I went back to the first level for this trophy. You have to be really quick in order to get it and it took me a few tries. After you make 5 Quick matches then the trophy will pop at that point you don't have to complete it to make it pop.

Score! Bronze Trophy

Score 2500 remaining tiles points in one ‘Ancient Tales’ level

 

I got this trophy going back to level 1-8 (1st tale 2nd last level) and i got it pretty easily. Just keep an eye to where the gold tiles are as they get stacked at the start and then go at them on the sides and try to uncover them around the area to where the two gold pieces are and try not taking away too many tiles from other places when you don't have too as this gives you the points you need for this trophy. This can be done on other levels but I chose to do it on this one.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/004.jpg

Can’t Get Enough Bronze Trophy

Complete 25 different Layouts in ‘Infinity’ Mode

 

This is simple and time consuming, play and complete 25 tile layouts and this trophy is yours for the taking, but i happened to get this trophy by completing 24 layouts in stead of 25. I triple counted too be sure. * NOTE * on each tile layout for you to select in Infinity Mode is a yin yang symbol if it's grayed out that means you have not completed it but if it's coloured in that means you have played and completed that layout.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/000.jpgInfinity and Beyond Silver Trophy

Complete 100 different Layouts in ‘Infinity’ Mode

 

 

This trophy is just like the "Can't Get Enough" trophy. You have to play and complete all 100 Tile Layouts which is time consuming but easy and the trophy is yours. Remember: on each tile layout for you to select in Infinity Mode is a yin yang symbol; if it's grayed out, that means you have not completed it, if it's coloured in you have played and completed that layout. I got this trophy after completing 99 out of 100 layouts.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/007.jpgDragon Slayer Bronze Trophy

Complete all Levels in ‘Motion’ Mode

 

Select Motion Mode and complete all 45 levels to receive this trophy. It doesn't have to be in one sitting and you can use powers ups which makes things easier, but it would force you to replay the game for the no power ups trophy. You can use the door on the top left to get rid of 1 tile at a time. Once you get rid of 1 you have to wait about 10 seconds give or take and it will open again for you to throw out another tile. Also the tiles go on a conveyor belt around the screen but if it reaches the dragon you lose a life, which makes you lose the “Who Needs Sleep Trophy“ so you have to act quick to prevent the tiles to reach the dragon.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/008.jpgI Don’t Need No Stinking Power-Ups Bronze Trophy

Complete ‘Motion’ Mode without using ‘Bomb’, ‘Cannon’, ‘Ice’ and ‘Wild number’ Power-Ups

 

* Credit * A Tip For This Trophy From User SkippyCue

 

The basic strategy for motion mode should be to clear the conveyor belt first prior to making matches on the board. I would start out every board by making matches on the board quickly before the conveyor tiles became available. Once they are available I would focus on the front of the line clearing any tiles I could until I couldn't find any to clear. At this point I'd look to the board and start quickly making matches using the board alone. Whatever you do, don't spend a lot of time searching for a match because time is too valuable to waste. If you can't find a match within a second or two, move on to another tile! Keep in mind that you can still use the Rainbow Tile to clear all open tiles of the same type.

 

Now... here's the secret weapon and the key to beating motion mode without the specified power-ups... The Magic Wand! When I first played through motion mode attempting to not die, I used power-ups so I never realized the potential of the magic wand. I thought it did just what the description says, "All open tiles of that type will disappear". Well, it is so much more useful than that! When you click on the Magic Wand, all the tiles that can be matched will be highlighted green! This is VERY helpful and you should memorize which tiles on the conveyor belt can be cleared before selecting one. This way after you select one you can quickly match the other tiles you memorized because you know they have matches. If there are not a lot of highlighted tiles on the conveyor belt, then look to see what tiles are highlighted on the main board because that is also helpful. The more you can memorize, the more you can clear quickly! Without the use of this power-up, I would've had a lot more trouble getting this trophy! You may wonder why this is helpful if you've been matching each tile you can as they come by, but as you clear tiles others open up. Tiles that didn't match before could match now and the wand shows all of that to you! Learn to take advantage of the wand, you will need it! The only problem is you have to survive without the wand a lot because it seems to come randomly. All I can say is try, try again if you don't get enough wands to get you through. Depending on the level, you may or may not need the help of wands... some levels didn't have any that I recall, but on other levels they saved my butt big time!

 

A general tip is don't focus on the main board alone too much because the conveyor will start to grow very quickly and then you'll be lost. My basic strategy was to match with the conveyor belt and if I noticed a pair or two on the board I'd clear them on my way back and forth to the conveyor belt. Also note that you can't destroy certain Power Ups with your Hammer e.g. the ones you can't use so please bare that in mind when going for this trophy.

 

Thanks for the tip SkippyCue and Hogger!

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/003.jpgWho Needs Sleep? Silver Trophy

Complete ‘Motion’ Mode without losing a single Life

 

Play all 45 levels without losing a life I would say use power ups while going for this and you gotta be quick. I got to level 12 before I lost a life and decided to not bother with the trophy so can't really give useful tips rather then to be quick matching or throwing a tile out the door and using power ups.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/002.jpgWho’s The Master? Silver Trophy

Receive ‘Sage’, ‘Dragon Slayer’ and ‘Can’t Get Enough’

 

Just get the 3 trophies and you will unlock this trophy which is easy to achieve.

Great guide! Some formatting would make it easier to read/scan for titles - just bold the headings, italic the description, and fix the spacing so they are obvious which paragraphs are which...It's really quite easy; just select the text, and hit the editing buttons like in any text editor :)

 

Again, thanks - I'm tempted to pick this game up, but not sure if I like mahjong enough...

Yeah, I am about 50 games away from 100 in infinity, got complete motion levels and not dying trophies but I still need motion with no power-ups and a couple of the online trophies left. They are the hardest seeing how that there is hardly anyone ever online.

I just completed 99 out of 100 infinity levels and i got the Infinity And Beyond Trophy and i got it after playing pretty near all day just this past weekend and weekend before that and ptt about an hour's work into the game Monday before i unhooked it from the big screen TV ( standard TV is hard too see what numbers are what even sitting close it's that bad )

 

my next play is playing with no power ups i was on level 8 before and i didn't know about the door at the time till i read up on the forums so i tried it and i was thinking maybe i can get rid of power-ups * shakes head * nope i used it by accident so i had to restart over to be sure i can still get the trophy and made it to level 7 and that's with using the door that time

Yep, I made that mistake too. Problem with some power-ups is that they will be used automatically when selected so you cannot get rid of them. This does cause it to be very hard to get space on the conveyor. Without dying I had 20 lives at the end (which do not count against the power-up trophy) so that may help a little. It is just too bad that when the conveyor fills up you have to start the level from the beginning.

i've played like 3 tales without using the hint button, and it won't give me the 'didn't buy a clue' trophy. i've also done all of the tales, and i still have yet to get the 'why stop at just one' trophy. what gives?

you may be accidentally hitting the square button from time to time I did that a couple of times myself.

That's strange. I believe they have to be different layouts and the animal pack layouts don't count toward that trophy. Sure you counted right? You can see which ones you've done if you look through them.

 

Yeah, I just checked again and I have 27 different layouts done (they have the colored Yin Yang symbol). I don't even have the animal pack. I guess I'll go up to 100 and hope for the best.

with the not dying on motion mode, do you have to do a complete play through of all 45 levels to get this, or if you die on a level, can you just restart that one and continue?

Unfortunately, once you die it automatically saves and if you try to quit while in a level you lose a life. What you should do is play through several levels, then quit in between levels and back up your save via usb stick. As the levels get hard you'll want to back up more often. If you die, simply restore the save on your usb stick and try again.

hey

 

servers are broken. that mean you cannot join a game. i suggest you find a partner in the boosting thread. i boosted with someone and it is possible to make friend server (forget how i did it) and earn the win trophies. it is possible to earn the 50 wins in a custom map. yeah that mean you can a make a map with 2 tiles. (its really true thats the way i did it). you earn all the wins. the 50 wins and the custom map wins. i hope this hint is helpfull

Just a few suggestion updates, you can do what you wish with them, but they are very helpful:

Quick on the Draw Bronze Trophy

Make 5 Quick Matches in-a-row

 

I went back to the first level for this trophy. You have to be really quick in order to get it and it took me a few tries. After you make 5 Quick matches then the trophy will pop at that point you don't have to complete it to make it pop.

 

Might want to make a note with this trophy that it can be made EXTREMELY easy if you have the Booster Pack DLC.

 

All you have to do is create a custom layout with 2 sets of tiles set 8 high each side-by-side. Save the layout and then select to play it in the custom layout screen. All you have to do then is move back and forth between the 2 tile piles pressing :cross: to match them as fast as you can and it should easily pop by the time you get to the bottom.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/005.jpg

Come Out and Play Bronze Trophy

Play 50 Network Games

 

Also might want to add a note into this one that if you have the DLC, you should make 10 of the network games custom layouts.

 

I noted it in the roadmap/dlc tg&r, but it would be helpful for people to see it here too...

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/003.jpgWho Needs Sleep? Silver Trophy

Complete ‘Motion’ Mode without losing a single Life

 

Play all 45 levels without losing a life i would say use power ups while going for this and you gotta be quick. I got to level 12 till i lost a life and i decided to not bother with the trophy so i can't really give good useful tips rather then to be quick matching or throwing a tile out the door and using power ups.

 

For this one I'd add this:

 

The most helpful tip I can give you as well is to quit to the main menu after you sucessfully complete a level without dying, then transfer your save data to a Memory/USB stick or something before moving on to the next level. This way if you die in the next stage, you can just copy your last good save data of the Memory/USB stick back to your PS3 and try again from that spot.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/012.jpgSpeed Reader Bronze Trophy

Complete an ‘Ancient Tales’ Layout in less than 2 minutes

 

I got this trophy in 1:55 on the very first level on the first Tale "A Magic Paintbrush". Me and my mother were working on this so it greatly helps if you don't notice tiles as quick by yourself. Playing with someone next too you can help you spot moves much faster.

 

Add/Change:

 

In the very first stage, just spam the hint button (:square:) and make the selections it shows quickly. This helps save time from trying to search for matches as it already shows you where they are on the screen. If needed, reshuffle and continue on. You should easily be able to get well under 2 minutes using this method.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/004.jpg

Can’t Get Enough Bronze Trophy

Complete 25 different Layouts in ‘Infinity’ Mode

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/60/000.jpgInfinity and Beyond Silver Trophy

Complete 100 different Layouts in ‘Infinity’ Mode

 

For both of these I would just add a warning to the bottoms of them saying the following as it will save people from testing a theory and wasting losts of time to find out it doesn't work:

 

If you have the DLC, "custom" made & the animal pack layouts do NOT count towards this trophy, only the 100 that came with the main game will.
