Quick Overview
Borderlands is a RPS(Role-Playing Shooter). It has similarities to Diablo, World of Warcraft for its Role-playing elements, and first-person shooters such as Call of Duty and Killzone. You're skill as a FPS gamer is the skill you will have in the game. So your critical hits are not based on skill points, as they are based on skills of shooting enemies in their weak spots. You will have a skill tree. I suggest planning out what you want before you actually start putting points on there. There is a "reset skill points" option, but it does cost in-game money. The online is up to 4-players and loads of fun, as you can also locally play with a friend in split-screen.

Good luck all of you Trophy Hunters!

Road to Platinum

Step One: Finish Quests on First Playthrough
Go through the storyline and finish all quests, including side quests, on your first playthrough. This will help you with the leveling trophies, the Boss trophies, and ofcourse the Quest trophies.

Step Two: Clean-Up
Make sure to get the miscellaneous trophies. If you don't get one, such as the Claptrap one, than its going to get a bit confusing when you go through your second playthrough and not sure of the one you're missing.

Step Three: Use Co-Op
You will need to use Co-Op some to get some trophies. You can use Split-Screen to do this, but Online will also count. When doing Co-Op, all can be done on Split-Screen except the viral trophy '...And They'll Tell Two Friends.'.

Step Four: Level, Level, Level.
You will need to grind leveling MASSIVELY to get the level 50 trophy. You will be in the 30-35 when you finish the first playthrough most likely, and you should start on the second playthrough. You can always check the Trophy Boosting thread to get someone who is already level 50 to bring you through harder areas for you to level quickly.

Moxxi Overview

+ Estimated trophy difficulty: 8/10

+ Offline: 5 (1

)

+ Approximate time: 10-15 hours

+ Missable trophies: None
+ Glitched: See "Big Tournament".
+ Cheats: See road-map!

Moxxi Road-map

All the enemies are the level of the "host" (weakest enemy is level 12). NOTE: In split-screen, the "host" is controller 1. Play in split-screen or online with the "host" player being level 12 or under, and it will be a breeze for a high level player to beat the missions. That is if you are patient, this will take a LOT of time...

I suggest you go to your PS3 Power Settings and set it to not power off the controllers. Make a brand new character in split-screen on controller 1 (the "host"), with your strongest character on controller 2. For the rest of this, you will be playing on controller 2. As soon as you can, use the New-U station to fast travel to "The Underdome". In The Underdome you will find a bank to store 12 items (you can buy upgrades depending on the host's level) and an in-game board to start the missions.

Follow the straight-forward missions to get all trophies, completing matches in the six numbered Coliseums. When you complete the first three coliseums, you will get the "Small Tournament" trophy. Then as you complete the larger coliseums, you will get the

trophy for each coliseum. Upon finishing the third of the larger challenges, you will get the final two trophies (the

for that particular larger coliseum, and the

for doing all the larger coliseums.)

Secret Armory Overview

+ Estimated trophy difficulty: 8.5/10
+ Meta-critic rating: 85/100
+ Offline: 10 (2

)
+ Online: 0
+ Approximate time: 15-20 hours
+ Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1
+ Missable trophies: None (you can do the non-mission ones at any point)
+ Glitched: See "Completionist".
+ Cheats: See "Vincible".

Secret Armory Road-map

Step 1: Play-through
From any New-U station, fast travel to "T-Bone Junction", where you will begin this DLC.

Just like all the DLC, there is only one New-U station, which is located in T-Bone Junction. This can be irritating but it can also be used to your advantage. If you are in the Sunken Sea and need to get to T-Bone Junction, you can exit the level and when you back into the game you will be in the T-Bone Junction.

Play through all the main and side missions for "Completionist" and story related trophies.

When you get to Cramerax, follow the strategy in"Vincible" to level up to 61 on it's minions, and then kill Cramerax.

Step 2: Missed something?
If you missed "Sneaky Little Buggers", "Speed Kills" or "Sucker Born Every Minute", now is the time to do those.

My Brother is an Italian Plumber

Killed an enemy plumber-style

Go to a Skag and weaken them down a bit, till the have barely any health left. Once doing that, jump on them and kill them by jumping on them.
