To hijack an enemy UFO, fly near one and press the melee button (there will be a button prompt on screen). You will grab onto the side of the UFO, at which point you will need to expose the pilot and take him out. To do so, move to the security panel on the UFO and hold the melee button to begin tearing off the panel. Watch out, because the pilot will try to shoot you off his ship as you do this. Use the left analog stick to dodge his fire as neccessary. The pilot may also try to shake you off the ship by flipping around, at which point you will need to rapidly press a certain button to keep your grip (the button you need to press is different everytime). Once you have removed the panel, the pilot will be exposed, and you will engage him at close range. Toggle the left analog stick back and forth to wrestle away the pilot's gun and finally kill him. You will then be in control of the UFO. You may exit the ship anytime by pressing melee twice.

This trophy is easiliy acquired during the Breaking Camp chapter. When the chapter starts, hijack an enemy UFO, abandon it, and repeat. If you die, you will restart at the beginning of the chapter, where you are free to try again.

The trophy will unlock as soon as you accumulate twenty succesful hijacks. The hijacks accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one. This is also a good time to get the Demolition Derby trophy.

To get a kill "using blind fire", you must kill an enemy while in cover, without using manual aim (default L1). I've tried to provide a list of which chapter each enemy appears in. Most enemies appear in more than one chapter, and the chapter listed is not necessarily the first one in which they appear. The different enemy footsoldiers are:

• Blue Pawn - Crash Site - Standard enemy unit. They have blue lights and wield the Oppressor.
• Red Pawn - Spare Parts - Among the first wave of enemies in the chapter. They have red armor and wield the Oppressor.
• White Pawn - The Survivors - In the second half of the chapter, you will accompany Atem to rescue some humans. Before you enter the temple where the humans are located, check in the ruins below. There are several are these enemies in this location. They have white lights and wield the Oppressor.
• Silver Pawn - Propheseid One - Among the enemies in the first encounter of the chapter. They have white lights, jet packs, and wield the Oppressor.
• Blue Sergeant - Crash Site - Towards the end of the chapter, two of these guys will show up in a cutscene and blow up the bridge you are standing on. They have blue lights and wield the Disintegrator.
• White Sergeant - Propheseid One - Among the enemies in the first encounter of the chapter. They have white lights and wield the Disintegrator.
• Red Sergeant - The Survivors - In the second half of the chapter, you will accompany Atem to rescue some humans. Before you enter the temple where the humans are located, check the broken bridges above the temple. The one closer to the temple has one of these guys standing on it. They wield the Disintegrator.
• Gold Sergeant - The Revolt - As soon as the chapter starts, one comes through the screen. They have a jet pack and wield the Reclaimer.

The trophy is easily acquired in the Defending the Ark chapter, as you start the chapter in a Survivor fighter. Crash the fighter into a wall or get shot until the ship catches fire. Then kill as many enemy ships as possible.

Replay the beginning of the chapter as neccessary to unlock the trophy. This is also a good time to get The Devastator trophy.

It is possible to unlock the trophy before this, as you can board a Survior fighter during any aerial combat section where they are present. The kills accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one.

The Archons are the huge, beast-like enemies that have large tails and four legs. They have a large energy beam that emits from their head.

The first time you encounter an Archon is in the Into the Void chapter, after destroying both shield generator towers. Simply fly under its body, through its legs, and the trophy will unlock.

In the Crash Site chapter, immediately after acquiring grenades for the first time, you will be required to use one to destroy a door blocking your path. After you destroy the door, four Watchers will exit the hole and attack you.

As soon as the first grenade goes off and destroys the door, press and hold L2 to ready a second grenade. Cook the grenade for a few seconds, then let go L2 to throw it. If you time it right, the grenade will detonate in mid air, hopefully destroying one or more of the Watchers. Then, simply let the Watchers kill you. You will restart with the door still intact, at which point you are free to perform the steps again until you acquire ten total kills.

The kills accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one. This is also a good time to get the Blue Light Special trophy.

In the Into the Void chapter, fly down to the water and bump into it. The trophy should unlock.

You can unlock this trophy any time after you acquire the Magnetar in the Prison Escape chapter.

Shoot the Magnetar at an enemy to suspend them in mid air. Then switch to another weapon and destroy the enemy while they are suspended. Do this ten times and the trophy will unlock.

The kills accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one.

A vertical combat kill involves the player defeating an enemy while in vertical cover. There are a multitude of opportunites to acquire these kills.

You can achieve this through normal play. The kills accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one.

A hover kill involves the player defeating an enemy while hovering with the jet pack. You can achieve these kills anytime after you acquire the jet pack in the Spare Parts chapter.

You can achieve this through normal play. The kills accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one.

A rocket pack guns kill involves the player defeating a footsoldier enemy while flying with the jet pack. You can achieve these kills anytime after you acquire the upgraded jet pack in the Into the Void chapter.

A good place to get these if you need more is the Propheseid One chapter. Towards the end of the chapter, two Watcher transport ships drop off a number of troops to attack the Survivor encampment. The enemies are in a wide open plateau, perfect for swooping in and getting a few kills.

You can achieve this through normal play. The kills accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one.

During the Prologue chapter, there will be several UFOs to shoot down. Just concentrate on one UFO at a time and you should have no problem bringing down five before the next cutscene triggers. You can always replay the Prologue if you miss the five kills. The trophy unlocks at the end of the chapter.

Simply hover near an enemy, turn off your jet pack, and melee the enemy. You can achieve this anytime after you acquire the jet pack in the Spare Parts chapter. The trophy unlocks immediately after correctly performing the action.

When the Into the Void chapter begins, use the jet pack and fly straight up until the game automatically turns you around. Hover, then turn off your jet pack and let yourself free fall for 10 seconds. You should have more than enough space to get the trophy. The trophy will unlock a few seconds after correctly performing the action.

The Archons are the huge, beast-like enemies that have large tails and four legs. They have a large energy beam that emits from their head.

To bring down an Archon, shoot the red lights on each of its four legs. Once they all give way, hover near the Archon and press melee near the tail end. You will have to expose the pilot and then kill him. Follow the on screen button prompts and once you kill the pilot, the trophy should unlock.

Note: Taking down the Archon from the head end will not unlock the trophy.

Aim for the head. The Watchers' heads usually explode into a blue liquid, signaling a headshot.

You can achieve this through normal play. The kills accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one.

A melee kill involves the player defeating an enemy with a melee attack. Some enemies take more than one melee attack to kill. The kill counts as a melee kill as long as the "killing blow" is a melee attack.

You can achieve this through normal play. The kills accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one.

In the Crash Site chapter, immediately after acquiring grenades for the first time, you will be required to use one to destroy a door blocking your path. After you destroy the door, four Watchers will exit the hole and attack you.

As soon as the first grenade goes off and destroys the door, throw a second grenade in the opening. The timing should be just right to destroy all four Watchers with one explosion. If you are unsuccessful, simply let the Watchers kill you. You will restart with the door still intact, at which point you are free to try again.

This is also a good time to get the Fireworks trophy.

In the Crash Site chapter, there will come a point when you have to man a turret to destroy a door blocking your path. Once you destroy the door, a number of Watchers will come pouring out. Just keep firing, as there are more than enough to earn this trophy. The trophy will unlock immediately after the ten kills.

Note: This strategy assumes you are playing on Hardcore difficulty. On lesser difficulties, there are sometimes not enough enemies to earn the trophy.

Occassionally when you defeat a Sergeant enemy, a purple slug will emerge from its body. You can kill these slugs with a melee attack.

During the Spare Parts chapter, a cutscene takes place where a purple slug comes out of one of the Watchers. When the scene ends, use melee to step on the slug, then promptly jump off the nearby cliff. You will restart just after the cutscene, where you are free to step on the slug again. Repeat umtil the trophy unlocks.

The trophy is obtainable at any point after you acquire the Hypercoil in the Breaking Camp chapter. Kill at least one enemy with each of the following weapons:

• Liberator
• Oppressor
• Disintegrator
• Reclaimer
• Magnetar
• Hypercoil

The trophy is obtainable as soon as you acquire the upgraded jet pack in the Into the Void chapter.

To perform a special manuever while flying, press R3 while holding both analog sticks in either direction (UP or DOWN). Do this 100 times to unlock the trophy. It takes less than five minutes to achieve.

Occasionally, when you are near an enemy, they will pick you up and a "Toggle Left Analog Stick" icon will appear. Toggle the left analog stick back and forth to escape the hold, then perform a melee attack to kill the enemy. It seems to have a better chance of happening if you sprint at the enemy.

Peform this ten times over the course of the game. You can achieve this through normal play, although you may have to replay a chapter in order to get all ten. It only happened to me about six times during my initial playthrough. The kills accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one.

See Grand Theft... UFO? for info on hijacking a UFO.

This trophy is easiliy acquired during the Breaking Camp chapter. When the chapter starts, hijack an enemy UFO. Fly the UFO in a circular pattern and you should occassionally collide with other UFOs. You do not need to collide with the same UFO ten times, just any UFOs a total of ten times. If you die, you will restart at the beginning of the chapter, where you are free to try again.

The trophy will unlock as soon as you accumulate ten successful collisions. The collisions accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one. This is also a good time to get the Grand Theft... UFO? trophy.

The Knight Watchers are large, floating enemies with large tails. They wield a mini gun and a missile launcher. Their weak point is their exposed chest (the blue area).

Near the beginning of the chapter Village Attack, you encounter a Knight enemy for the first time. Use the cover in the area to avoid the Knight's attack while returning fire. After you soften him up a bit with gunfire (he'll be smoking), throw a few grenades at him (be sure to cook them for about two seconds). It may take a few grenades to kill him. The trophy will unlock as soon as he goes down.

If you die, you'll restart at the same spot, at which point you are free to try again.

During certain chapters, you will have the opportunity to man the Ark's Anti-Aircraft guns. To enter the gunner seat, press melee near the AA guns.

This trophy is easiliy acquired during the Defending the Ark chapter, as manning the AA guns is the easiest way to defend the Ark. The trophy will unlock immediately after acquiring the required number of kills.

The kills accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one.

The trophy is easily acquired in the Defending the Ark chapter, as you start the chapter in a Survivor fighter. Replay the beginning of the chapter as neccessary to unlock the trophy. This is also a good time to get the Captain of the Ship trophy.

It is possible to unlock the trophy before this, as you can board a Survior fighter during any aerial combat section where they are present. The kills accumulate over the entire game, and still count if you die/quit after performing one.

Complete the game on any difficulty. If you complete the game on Hardcore and unlock the Ulimate Bad Ass trophy, this trophy will also unlock. The trophy will unlock during the closing cutscene, after The Tower of Return chapter is completed.

Complete the game on Hardcore difficulty. The game is not very difficult, even on Hardcore. As long as you utilize the cover system and let your health regenerate as needed, you'll be fine. There are a few trouble spots, but overall the difficulty is manageable. This will also unlock the Dark Void trophy. The trophy will unlock during the closing cinematic, after The Tower of Return chapter is completed.
