Completed the game - how do I go about grinding Trophies?

[AaronNick]

I cant seem to get fatal embrace to unlock, im pressing X behind people like usual and then pressing R1 to just knock them out but I must of done it more than 100 times? any ideas?

[Iceyice]

try to save it on one file. i think that is the key. i tried so many was, but i think that is the one that will do it. i too knew i had 100, 25 locks picked etc., it gets reset on different difficulty levels, so try the same file on the same difficulty.
One thing i did, with 7 bronzes to get for the Plat. is save 2 files for every save, in case you screw up and quick save by mistake.

I really loved this entire Splinter Cell Series, so I'm actually really looking forward to playing this HD remaster version. I can't even guess how many times I played each of these 3 titles back when they were still new.

How many complete play-throughs do you think it'll take to get all these Trophies to pop naturally (without grinding)? I just got this (disk version) from Amazon for just over $20, so I've just started doing a little research before diving back into the games.

Thanks for the advice guys. Cheers

Not sure what the problem is here. I did a playthrough on Normal.

Then I just started one on Hard and I was waiting for some of the smaller "(insert action) _____ times" trophies to pop, like the 5 interrogations. I already got three in my 2nd playthrough and it hasn't popped, leading me to believe that starting a New Game doesn't let you carry over your progress.

It does carry your progress but changing difficulty is what resets your trophy progress.

Alright, that explains it. Thanks.

Fuck me, wish i've read this before i started a new playtrough on hard yesterday... damn it, still need all the grinding trophies except the light sources and wallmines and now stats are resetted too, in my first playtrough the medkit trophy didnt pop, although i am very sure i never used one. This is my second playtrough and its very well possible i still haven't got all the game trophies after this playtrough so i most likely will need a 3rd or more playtrough.

damn it gonna take me ages to plat this one and thats only the 1st of three glitchy games pff

Now I reload save 1, destroy the camera again and save on save 2 again.
And then I repeat the whole process.
Will the trophy unlock that way or am I doing something wrong with the saving/loading process?

Don't know, but that would suggest to me that you're going in circles. If you save 1, then shoot, then save 2, and go back to save 1, you're right back where you started. Saving again on 2 will simply over write you previous save. I plan to grind the trophies by simply replaying the levels in full. Won't take that long.

You don't need to replay the levels in full....for instance the camera, lights and interrogation trophies can be grinded on the Defence level...simply start the level and your first few minutes involves shooting cameras, getting 2 data sticks, picking a lock then grabbing the driver...once you have interrogated him you save then exit to main menu and start the level again...thus grinding the trophies...
