Road Map

Step 1 – Hard Puzzle Playthrough
Play through the game with puzzles set to Hard difficulty. Enjoy the storyline, get to grips with the (sometimes glitchy) control system and AI.

It is recommended that you try to obtain all the collectibles in this step, as well as doing some of the miscellaneous trophies like Soundly Beaten or Beg For Mercy, though you can mop these up later if you’d prefer.

In this step, you will unlock the following trophies for certain:

Crate work
Fast on your feet
On the right tracks
A Plumb Job
Hack Job
Tested to Destruction
The Open Road
No time to hang around
Hello Sweetie
Soundly Beaten
Toxic Relationship
Ye Doctor
Goodbye Blue Boy
Winch Way Next
A steal
Hello Sexy
Sent packing
One in the eye for the good guy
Geronimo!
Universal Destruction Avoided


And most likely:

Smooth Operator
Thorough
Pucker Up


If you played through the game with the recommended parameters above, then upon completion, you will also obtain:

Puzzler
High IQ


You may also unlock the collectible trophies should you attempt them during your first playthrough.


Step 2 – Speed Run
If you didn’t unlock Flying Doctor during your first playthrough (which is likely if you took time to collect collectibles etc,) then play the story again with the puzzle difficulty set to Easy in order to whizz through in as quick a time as possible. Under 300 minutes is an easy time to beat, especially on Easy, so this shouldn’t take long. You'll also likely unlock the rest of the speed run trophies here too, which are:

Clever Clogs
Smart Cookie
Clear Vision
Timey Wimey
Quick Getaway
Deleted
Elementary
Exterminated



Step 3 – Clean Up
If you haven’t acquired all of the collectibles or the trophies for completing certain sections of the game/puzzles under a required time, now is the time to go for these. Set the puzzle difficulty to Easy, and this will be simple. The collectible trophies are as follows:

Head Scratcher
Paper Trail
Short Story
Hat's off to you
Long Story
Diarist
Mad Hatter

 

[PS3T Would Like to Thank Lemmerman for this Road Map]



Time Lord
Collect all Trophies 

Well done! For completing the trophy list, this is your reward. Now put your feet up and enjoy some fish fingers and custard!

Smooth Operator
Press 10 TARDIS console buttons 

When you begin the game, you will be able to press at different consoles in the TARDIS. Press ten times, and this will unlock. You will return to the TARDIS numerous times during the game, so you don’t need to do this all at once, if you don’t want to.

Thorough
Scan 10 objects 

When you are in possession of the sonic screwdriver, the Doctor and River can scan their surroundings by using the right control stick to get hints and tips on how to proceed. Scan everything in sight in the first level, and you will unlock this very quickly. If not, then you will obtain it as you progress, since you will need to scan many doors and platforms in order to continue with the game.

Head scratcher
Collect 5 Hats 

See Mad Hatter.

Paper trail
Collect 5 Diary pages 

See Diarist.

Brimming with enthusiasm
Collect 10 Hats

Long story

See Diarist.

Flying Doctor
Complete the game in 300 minutes (2) 

The game isn’t too long, so you should be able to do this quite easily. If you have trouble, set the puzzle difficulty to Easy – this will save you time on some of the more difficult puzzles, as well as timed sections where you must complete puzzles in order to evade capture. Unfortunately there's no way of knowing how long it has taken you in-game, so time yourself with some kind of stopwatch to be sure. (Credit to laticspieman for the tip!)

As a rule of thumb, I unlocked this in just over four hours, and the time limit is five.

Puzzler
Complete the game on puzzle medium difficulty 

Set the puzzle difficulty to Medium and complete each level in the game, and this trophy will unlock. See High IQ for more details.

High IQ
Complete the game on puzzle hard (4) 

Set the puzzle difficulty to Hard and complete each level in the game, and this trophy will unlock. This trophy will stack with Puzzler, so completing the game on puzzle difficulty Hard will unlock both this trophy and Puzzler.

The most difficult puzzles on Hard are the Mind Maps, but there's a handy tip that will make them fairly straightforward: "On Hard mode, move the "first"/middle circle to the right until the that part of the mind map is correctly aligned. After doing so, scroll up once to the "second" (or third coming from the top) movable circle and move it to the right until the image completes itself." (Credit to Bucket for this handy tip!)

If you want to do this after the first playthrough, you can also simply select each level in turn and complete it with Hard puzzle difficulty, rather than starting a brand new save file.

Diarist
Collect all the Diary Pages (2) 

Throughout the game, you will be able to collect pages from River’s diary. Your progress can be tracked using the Collectibles menu on the Pause screen. Use the Collectibles Guide, and once you have collected all 40 pages, this trophy will unlock.

Mad Hatter
Collect all the Hats (2) 

Throughout the game, you will be able to collect the Doctor’s hats. Your progress can be tracked using the Collectibles menu on the Pause screen. Use the Collectibles Guide, and once you have collected all 40 hats, this trophy will unlock.

 
Secret Trophies
 
Crate work
Use the gold bullion crate to smash your way out of the Bank of England 

Unmissable. As you near the end of the first level, Stormy Beginnings, you will unlock this after destroying a grate by pushing a crate of gold bars onto it.

The Stormcage Redemption
The Stormcage Redemption (2) 

Complete the second level, Stormcage Escape, without being detected by the guards or the security lights in order to unlock this. Take your time, learn the guards and lights movements, and you should unlock this easily.

The most difficult section here involves a guard patrolling between two consoles, and another guard facing away from you to the right. Wait for the guard to finish with the two consoles - he will then walk towards the camera. When he turns around and heads back to the console on the right, this is the time when you should make your move. You will have plenty of time to sneak over the boxes and kiss the guard facing away from you so that he can open the door.

If you trip an alarm by standing in the green lights, or if you are spotted and captured by a guard, pause the game and return to the main menu to retry.

Pucker Up
Kiss 6 Stormcage Guards 

During the second level, Stormcage Escape, River will be able to kiss Stormcage guards with her hallucinogenic lipstick by creeping up behind them with and pressing . Do this to six guards, and you will unlock this. There are plenty of guards during the level, and this is cumulative across all playthroughs of the level.

Quick Getaway
Escape Stormcage in 8 minutes 

Complete the second level, Stormcage Escape, in under 8 minutes. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this should be fairly straightforward. If not, then replay the level and try to learn the movements of the guards in order to progress quicker and not get caught.

See The Stormcage Redemption for tips on the hardest sections of this area. As an indication of the strictness of this time limit, I was able to get this trophy and The Stormcage Redemption in the same runthrough, so you have plenty of time to be patient and still complete the level in under 8 minutes.

Fast on your feet
Beat the Cybermen to the Underground refugee camp 

Unmissable. During the third level, London Underground, River and the Doctor will flee through the underground train system away from a battalion of Cybermen. Complete this section and this trophy will unlock once you have sealed the doors behind you, trapping the Cybermen.

On the right tracks
Defeat the Cybermen in the Underground refugee camp 

Unmissable. At the end of the third level, London Underground, River and the Doctor will split up. As the Doctor, jump across the railway tracks and climb the ladder on the far right. Solve the redirection puzzle here and the action will switch back to River. Run between the three tunnels, using the sonic screwdriver to activate the circuit boxes if you see Cybermen coming towards you in order to electrocute them. Survive until the time runs out, and once the Doctor and River reunite, head all the way to the left and climb the ladder to complete the level and unlock this trophy.

Stunning work
Stun 5 Cybermen 

When playing as River during the fourth level, City Streets, use the power shot function (Hold ) of her blaster to disable 5 Cybermen temporarily. You can also do this during the fifth level, Ninth Legion Cyberfactory.

A Plumb Job
Re-route the gas pipe plans in Victorian London 

Unmissable. During the fourth level, City Streets, the Doctor will head back in time to Victorian London. Near the end of this section, you must complete a puzzle to alter some blueprints. The trophy will unlock once the puzzle has been completed and you have returned to the present day.

Hack Job
Open the security door in the office block 

Unmissable. During the fourth level, City Streets, River will need to avoid some Cybermen and hack some consoles in order to open a security door to escape them. The trophy will unlock once the door has been opened and you have escaped through it.

Tested to Destruction
Re-route the thermionic consoles in the Cyberfactory 

Unmissable. Complete the fifth level, Ninth Legion Cyberfactory, and this will unlock once you have collected the first piece of the Eternity Clock and escaped the factory through the time tunnel.

Deleted
Finish the Cyberfactory in 20 minutes 

Finish the fifth level, Ninth Legion Cyberfactory, in under 20 minutes. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this should be fairly straightforward. If not, then replay the level and try to learn the quickest ways to complete each platforming section, and try not to die when the Cybermen are chasing you – this will add to your time.

It is very easy to unlock this trophy, as the time limit is fairly lenient and you should be able to finish the level in under 10 minutes if you are careful. The trap you may fall into is rushing too much, leading you to take risks and get killed by errant Cybermats - take your time, and you will easily be able to unlock this trophy.

The Open Road
Lower the drawbridge on Old London Bridge 

Unmissable. Halfway through the sixth level, Old London Bridge, you will lower a drawbridge near where you began the level. The trophy will unlock once the drawbridge is down and you have crossed over it.

No time to hang around
Collect the Stasis Field Generator in the Silence Base 

Unmissable. Complete the eighth level, Somewhere in Elizabethan London, and this will unlock once you have collected the Stasis Field Generator inside the Silence ship.

Elementary
Finish return to Victorian London in 15 minutes (2) 

Complete the seventh level, Somewhere in Victorian London, in less than 15 minutes. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this should be fairly straightforward. If not, then replay the level and try to learn the movements of the guards and Silurians in order to progress quicker and not get caught out.

I was able to finish this level in under 10 minutes, so the time limit here isn't too demanding. Just don't spend too much time messing around - head straight for the sewers, then get the sonic screwdriver, and head back to the sewers right away. Be careful, as rushing is your enemy and will lead to you running into Silurians and dying, which will add to your time.

Soundly Beaten
Sonic disarm 5 Silurians 

Unmissable. During the tenth level, Deep Beneath The Earth, River will have to fend for herself against an army of Silurians using the sonic screwdriver. Use the screwdriver with the right control stick and match the waveforms to disarm a Silurian. Do this five times, and you will unlock this trophy.
 

Hello Sweetie
Wake up River in the tomb 

Unmissable. This will unlock at the beginning of the ninth level, Love A Tomb!, after the Doctor and River reunite.

Silently Silencing the Silence
Outwit the Silence without being checkpointed (2) 

Complete the section inside the Silence ship in the eighth level, Somewhere in Elizabethan London, without losing sight of the Silence and having to return to the beginning of the section in order to unlock this. Go slowly, and don’t try to rush this section, and you should be fine. If you don't think you're going to make a jump without losing a Silent, then wait until you can. There's no time limit, so take your time and you should be able to unlock this in one go.

You can set the puzzle difficulty to Easy to make the stasis field generator puzzles easier, but this won’t actually affect the movement of the Silence themselves.

Toxic Relationship
Defeat Vekkis 

Unmissable. Complete the tenth level, Deep Beneath The Earth, and the trophy will unlock.

In order to defeat Vekkis, you will first have to move a lift around a column as the Doctor in order to reach some puzzle consoles. Solve the puzzle, and the action will switch to River. You will have to defeat some Silurians here (See Soundly Beaten) - be careful and make sure to hide behind the shields which raise and fall alternatively.

You can usually defeat one Silurian before the shield falls, so try to beat one and then run for the next shield. Once you have defeated enough, the platforms will raise and you will be able to reach a valve. Turn this, and the action will switch back to the Doctor. Repeat this pattern four times, and Vekkis will be defeated and the trophy will unlock.

River's sections are much more difficult than the Doctor's. Be careful, since if you die, you will have to start the pattern entirely from the beginning, which can be frustrating.

Goodbye Blue Boy
Outwit the Strategist Dalek 

Unmissable. During the thirteenth level, Strategic Withdrawal, you will have to activate three consoles to drop a security field. Once you do this and leave the building, this trophy will unlock.

The Eyes have it
Quick-shoot 5 Daleks 

During the thirteenth level, Strategic Withdrawal, you will play as River and sneak through a Dalek compound. Use her quick-shoot ability (Aim with the right control stick, tap ) to shoot a Dalek in the eyestalk. It will get angry and spin around, unable to see. Shoot five of them in this way (or the same one five times) and this will unlock.

Beg for Mercy
Power-shoot 5 Daleks 

During the thirteenth level, Strategic Withdrawal, you will play as River and sneak through a Dalek compound. Use her power-shoot ability (Aim with the right control stick, then hold until the gun bleeps, then release) to shoot a Dalek in the eyestalk. It will be stunned and unable to move. Shoot five of them in this way (or the same one five times) and this will unlock.

Ye Doctor
Discover the statue in the Elizabethan quadrangle 

Unmissable. Completing the twelfth level, 545 Years Earlier, will unlock this trophy. The Doctor will come across a statue of himself, and be less than impressed. The trophy should unlock here.

Winch Way Next
Activate the crane winch in Old St. Pauls 

Unmissable. Complete the fourteenth level, Old St. Pauls, and this trophy will unlock as soon as you climb the long ladder at the top after completing the perception filter puzzle.

A steal
Defeat the Silence and steal their time capsule 

Unmissable. Complete the fifteenth level, Silence Time Capsule, and this trophy will unlock.

This level involves alternating between puzzle consoles as the Doctor, which are straightforward, and then shooting the Silence as River. Run around the platform, since you won't be able to see all of the Silence otherwise, and don't bother with the power-shoot. Quick-shoot all the Silence until they fall, and once you have repeated this pattern four times, the level will be complete and the trophy will unlock.

Hello Sexy
Find the TARDIS in the Dalek time lock 

Unmissable. Complete the sixteenth level, Inside The Time Lock, and this trophy will unlock. This level and the next will seem to blend into one, but once you have reached the TARDIS for the first time after dodging some Daleks, this trophy will unlock.

Sent packing
Send the Dalek Supreme to Antarctica 

Unmissable. Complete the seventeenth level, Dalek Command Node, and once you have hacked a final terminal and teleported the one remaining Dalek away (complete with cries of NO! NO! NO!), this trophy will unlock.

Exterminated
Finish time-locked London in 20 minutes 

Complete the sixteenth level, Inside The Time-Lock in under 20 minutes to unlock this trophy. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this should be fairly straightforward. If not, then replay the level and try to learn the movements of the Daleks in order to progress quicker and not get caught out.

This is another lenient time limit, which you should be able to complete in under 10 minutes at a stretch, although under 15 is more likely. As with the previous chapters, don't rush the sections where you must dodge Daleks, since dying will just add to your time. Be aware that running past Daleks in the background will make this much easier - as long as you keep moving, they shouldn't be able to hit you.

One in the eye for the good guy
Shoot the Emperor Dalek in the eyestalk 

Unmissable. During the final battle with the Emperor Dalek, there will be sections where you control River. Use her power-shot ability (Aim with the right control stick, then hold until the gun bleeps, then release) to shoot the boss in the eyestalk and this will unlock.

Geronimo!
Defeat the Emperor of the Daleks 

Unmissable. Complete the final level and defeat the final boss to unlock this.

This is another fight in which you will alternate between River and the Doctor. As the Doctor, find the terminal which is in front of the "arm" that is circling the room. Crouch down underneath it, and the Emperor's attacks will not be able to hit you. Solve the puzzle here, and the action will switch to River.

As River, find the Emperor Dalek's eyestalk and power-shoot it (see One in the eye for the good guy). The Emperor's shell will close, and it will rotate around the room. Follow it and shoot it in the eye. This will repeat until the action switches back to the Doctor. This is mostly the pattern for the fight, with occasional trips on the lift up to different levels.

Defeat the Emperor Dalek and claim the last piece of the Eternity Clock, and this trophy will unlock.

Clever clogs
Complete Data Link puzzle in 60 seconds 

A Data Link puzzle is the type in which you must link up tiles with pictures on to join one point to another. The first time you find one of these is in the Stormcage Breakout level, right at the end. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this shouldn’t be difficult.

Smart Cookie
Complete Re-router puzzle in 60 seconds 

A Re-router puzzle is the type in which you must change a circuit to light certain lamps. You encounter a lot of these during the Somewhere In Victorian London level. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this shouldn’t be too hard. You can speed up your time here by pressing when you have lit the correct lamps to get the next configuration quicker.

Clear Vision
Complete Mind Map puzzle on Medium or Hard in 60 seconds (2) 

A Mind Map puzzle is the type in which you must spin four discs to create a picture. You first encounter one of these in the first level, Stormy Beginnings, right at the end. With the puzzle difficulty set to Medium, this shouldn’t be too hard.

If you attempt this on puzzle difficulty Hard, here's a helping hand: "On Hard mode, move the "first"/middle circle to the right until the that part of the mind map is correctly aligned. After doing so, scroll up once to the "second" (or third coming from the top) movable circle and move it to the right until the image completes itself." (Credit to Bucket for this handy tip!)

Timey Wimey
Complete a Time Corridor in 2 minutes (1) 

You enter Time Corridors after collecting pieces of the Eternity Clock, like at the end of the Ninth Legion Cyberfactory or Deep Beneath The Earth levels. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this shouldn’t be too hard.

To complete these puzzles, you must use the and buttons in order to rotate the "wheels" of the corridor so that you have a platform in front of you that "matches up" with the platform you are standing on. For example, if you are on a platform made of the bottom left four squares, then you would require one with the bottom right four squares.

Press when you have a matching pair, and then use the left stick to move the Doctor onto the new platform. Continue in this manner until you reach the TARDIS. If you spend too long on one platform and it is struck by three bolts of lightning, then it will fall apart and you must retry.

This all sounds very complicated, but once you actually get to do it, it will make much more sense. You can finish one of these puzzles in just over a minute, even with a few mistakes, so this trophy shouldn't be too hard.

Universal Destruction Avoided

Unmissable. Obtained when the game credits are rolling after defeating the final boss and solving the final Time Corridor.
