Guide by: Khaos and mjc0961 There are 51 Trophies that can be earned in this title. |
Show / Hide Guide Roadmap  Overview: -Estimated trophy difficulty: 9/10 -Overall number of trophies: 51 -Offline: 40 -Online: 10 -Approx time to Platinum: 75+ hours -Minimum number of playthroughs: 1 Number of missable trophies: Driving Mr Bellic -Glitched trophies: None -Do cheat codes disable trophies?: Yes (Walked Free, One Man Army, Cleaned the Mean Streets and Finish Him) How to go about doing this Finish the story mode first. Focus on just completing the missions because if you start going for side missions and USJ, Flying Rats etc then you will lose lose valuable time trying to get the Liberty City Minute trophy. To see how much you're alive friends like you, press start and then go onto stats. After you have completed the missions you can focus on completing the game to 100%. The only thing that I have struggled with is the flying rats and USJ. I would consider using a guide for them. Use a guide to also find where the random characters are and even when you get the trophy to meet all of them remember that some have more than one mission so try to find them again as these missions do count towards 100%, many people have struggled to figure out what they have missed because of the random characters. Before you go to the wedding mission make sure that Roman likes you enough to let you use his taxi's for free Multiplayer I would strongly advise posting for a partner in the trophy boosting thread because they can help on getting all the car races finished for Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic. Ranking up will take a while to do and the Fly The Co-op trophy will take co-operation from both or more members of the team or you can just say goodbye to completing it within the time limits. Many people have said that Auf Weidersehen Petrovic is glitched and that it has to be done in one sitting. THIS IS NOT TRUE. People have got the trophy in more than one sitting so it is possible. If stats havent recorded dont go online wait till it adds what you've done to you're stats. The GTAIV servers are crap so they are the start of peoples problems. Tips from RedEye420 For Liberty City(5) and Liberty City Minute 1. ALWAYS answer the phone when your friends call. Not answering the phone will automatically decrease that friend's "like" rating. 2. NEVER reject a friend's request to hang out. Rejecting a friend's request to hang out will automatically decrease that friend's "like" rating. ALWAYS accept a friend's request to hang out. 3. If you are trying to play through the game quickly to obtain the "Liberty City Minute" trophy then you just don't have time to hang out with friends. After accepting a friend's request to hang out, select "Cancel Plans" under that friend's name in the phonebook (i.e. Phonebook>Roman>Cancel Plans). You will receive NO PENALTY for calling a friend back and explaining that you just don't have time for pointless meanderings. You are Niko Bellic!!! 4. Don't forget to cancel plans with your friend after accepting their request to hang out. Failing to appear at an arranged meeting without selecting the "Cancel Plans" option will automatically decrease that friend's "like" rating. 5. This is done the easiest at the end of the game. Many of the missions that you do will increase "like" ratings from a friend who is involved with that mission. Don't worry about your decisions in the game. Rockstar made sure that none of your choices void you from being able to obtain a trophy and they are all retroactive*. *There actually is one trophy that you could miss if you choose "Deal" over "Revenge" at the end of the game. Most players will easily obtain the "Driving MR. Bellic" trophy through normal play and will not have to worry about this but some of you have been telling me that you missed this rushing through the game. If you choose "Deal" then Roman won't be around at the end of the game to unlock this trophy. However, if Roman is around at the end of the game then you will have no problems. It's retroactive...but technically miss-able (very technically). I HIGHLY recommend unlocking this trophy during the course of the first few missions and if you follow my steps, you will do this easily. You gain like rating for completing certain missions that involve friends and Roman has plenty of these. Just prevent your like rating from decreasing and you will get this easily. [PS3T would like to thank Dagger471 for this Road Map] |
 | Off The Boat | Bronze Trophy |
| You have completed the first mission. |
The trophy will be unlocked after you complete the first mission, "The Cousins Bellic" which is the training mission, which acclimates you to how to drive the car and navigate around. Complete the mission by escorting Roman back to his apartment. |
 | One Hundred And Eighty | Bronze Trophy |
| You scored 180 with 3 darts. |
Go to any bar/pub that has a dartboard, you do not need to do this with a friend. If you don't know where to go to play darts, you can call up a friend and ask to play some darts. After you pick them up, the location will be on your radar. Once at the pub, walk up to the board and start the game with L1. Then, when the target is hovering over the triple 20 (inside ring, top number), press L2 to steady your aim, throw the dart by pressing X. Then do it 2 more times in a row. **Can be done after completing story mode** **Note About Darts** This is for those of you who are not familiar with the rules of darts. The particular game played in the pubs is "301" which means that both players start at 301, and work their way down to 0. You need to hit 0 exactly, if you go over (under) you will bust and have to try again. On the board you will notice 20 slices each worth a different number of points. Shoot the dart into a slice, and you will knock that amount of points off your total on your way down to zero. Along the outer rim of the board, you will notice a ring. This ring is worth double. So if you're shooting at a 20, and your dart lands in the double ring, it's worth 40. Likewise, you will notice an inner ring, which is worth triple points (and the one needed for this trophy). Now, above and beyond simply shooting darts for this trophy, it is also required that you beat all of your friends at darts (who enjoy darts, and are needed for 100% completion). As you work your way down to zero, you need to keep in mind that your final dart that brings you exactly to zero must be shot into the doubles ring in order for you to win. For example, if you have 13 points, shooting a 13 will bust your score (no double), as well as shooting a 14 will (going over). An example of a winning set for a 13 score would be to shoot a 3, and then a double 5 for your final dart. |
 | Pool Shark | Bronze Trophy |
| You beat a friend at pool. |
The quickest way to get this started is call up a friend and ask to play some pool. This can be done while you're working for any of the friend trophies, such as "Dial B for Bomb" and also when you're trying to pick up a girl for "Warm Coffee." After you pick your friend up, the location will be on your radar. Once at the pub, walk up to the table and start the game with L1. Billiards can be a rather complex game, but GTA has done a fairly good job of simplifying it. In essence, one player shoots the striped balls in, the other shoots the solids, and once a player has their balls sunk, they may shoot for the 8-ball. When the 8 is pocketed after all other balls are, that player wins. However, if the 8 is pocketed before the rest of your balls, you lose. When it's your turn, you will see a dotted white line coming from your ball. This is the path your ball will take when you shoot. The computer actually does a very good job of lining the shots up for you. If you do no aiming, take the shot that it gives you, you should make the ball almost every time. When you are looking down the path your ball will take, press X to enter shooting mode. Now pull the right stick back to pull the stick back, and push it forward to shoot. Those are the basics you will need to win the game. Almost all advanced billiards mechanics such as English are included in the game, but to obtain the trophy you shouldn't need to worry about those things. If you find yourself struggling, as is stated, one of the main rules of billiards is if you shoot the 8 ball early, you lose, so wait and eventually an opponent may shoot that ball in for you, granting you an automatic win. **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | King of QUB3D | Bronze Trophy |
| You beat the high score in QUB3D. |
QUB3D is a machine that can be found all round the island. There is one in first strip club as you go in the front door on the left. There is also one in the same bar as the first pool hall you enter. (See "Pool Shark") The high score is 10,950, but the trophy will not unlock until after you finish the game. The main point of Qub3d is that blocks will fall from the top to the bottom much like Tetris, and you need to get similar colors to land so that 4 blocks of the same color are connected, and then that color block will disappear. **Can be done after completing story mode** Here's a video from HotShotCMS showing how Qub3d is played: |
 | Finish Him | Bronze Trophy |
| You completed 10 melee counters in 4 minutes. |
A counter is performed in a fist fight by pressing to dodge when your opponent attacks you, then following up with to make your counter attack. The most important part of this achievement is timing. When your opponent swings at you, quickly press and hold X to dodge their attack, then let up X and press down Circle to counter them while their arm is still extended in attack position. Complete 10 of those within 4 minutes. Note: If you die, it does not reset your counter-count, you pick up right where you left off, you only lose the amount of time wasted dying and respawning. **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Genetically Superior | Bronze Trophy |
| You came first in 20 singleplayer street races. |
After completing the mission "Number 1" for Brucie, you unlock the ability to compete in street races. Brucie will call you on your phone soon after the mission is over, and explain that any time you want to race, give him a call to set one up. Win 20 races to unlock the trophy. Now, initially you only have the option to do 9 races, as is the total required for 100%. You need to be standing on the 1st island and call Brucie, he will then set you up for one of the three possible races on the 1st island. Once all three are completed, he will tell you that there are no more. You then need to travel to Algonquin, call him, win those three races, then go to Alderney, call him, and win those three races. After that, he will send you a text message telling you that you won all the races, and can call him back whenever to race any of them again. At this point, you have completed your quota for 100% completion, but still need 11 more for the trophy. At this point, they work like every other friend activity. Sometimes he won't answer, sometimes he won't know of any, and sometimes he'll set you up with a race. **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Wheelie Rider | Bronze Trophy |
| You completed a 500 foot wheelie on a motorbike. |
Obtain a bike and head for the airport. Go to one end of the runway, and start to accelerate. While doing this, pull back on the left stick to start you wheelie. Keep going as far as you can, and then let your bike down. If you made it far enough, the achievement will unlock, if not, return to the end and try again. The runway works best because you have a very long distance where you can drive perfectly straight without worrying about cars pulling in front of you. It is also important to note that performing a wheelie is easier on a slower bike, such as a moped style bike, so if you're having trouble maintaining a wheelie, seek out one of these and you may have better luck. **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Gobble Gobble | Bronze Trophy |
| You got a turkey in 10-pin bowling. |
A great tip for the 3 Strikes in a Row (Bowling) which always works, is the following: - Choose a Half-Time or a Full-Time Game, it doesn't matter. - Go to the left (first) lane. - Wait till Niko gets the ball in his hands. - Hold the left stick to the left, till Niko does 2 whole steps to the left. - Press X to get into shooting position. - Push the right stick down for 1 second (if you bring it back too soon, you will throw the ball too fast and you won't get the strike), then push it back up. When pushing it forward, try to push it straight up, and just a hair to the right. - Repeat 2 more times in a row **Can be done after completing story mode** Thanks to HotShotCMS for this video as well! |
 | Rolled Over | Bronze Trophy |
| You managed 5 car rolls in a row from one crash. |
Head to the airport runway in a fast car (Infernus, Super GT, police.... etc). Scattered in the grass by the runway you will see small yellow ramps. Locate one, retreat back aways, approach at top speed, aim for only half your car to actually hit the ramp, and sit back and count the spins. There is also a method of stringing together rolls to get the trophy, see video: **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Walk Free | Bronze Trophy |
| You successfully lost a 4 star wanted rating. |
Get yourself a 2 star wanted level. Then summon a cab by calling your cousin Roman, provided you have unlocked "Driving Mr. Bellic," and choose a destination a far distance from you. While riding, hold L2 and you'll aim your gun out the window. Then cause as much mayhem as possible until you get up a 4 star wanted level. Then let go of L2 and press X and you'll be transported to your destination with no police around, so your level will disappear. This only works in one of your cousin's cabs, as in a standard taxi, the driver will run away if you earn a wanted level. **Can be done after completing story mode** Here is a video showing another method: http://ve3tro.com/gta/getaway.mp4 Yet another method: |
 | Courier Service | Bronze Trophy |
| You completed all 10 package delivery jobs. |
These are Little Jacob's side missions, and require you to deliver some..... "product" for him. This is much easier than the game leads you to believe. Call Jacob on the phone and ask him for work to get the mission started. Hail a cab with L1, and have them take you to the car where the product is. Once you get out of the cab, immediately hail it again so it doesn't drive off. Then get in the car, and immediately get back out and run to your waiting cab. Have the taxi take you to your destination, and get out and hail it again. Run to the drop off point, deliver the package, and call Jacob for another job. The taxi should be still waiting for you to begin the process all over again. There are three types of deliveries that will take place: *You drop off the drugs and you're done (taxi will still be waiting for you) *You get ambushed by a rival gang (taxi will still be waiting for you) *You have to lose your wanted level (taxis will not wait for you if you have a wanted level) Go here for in-depth mission details: http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/92911-post9.html **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Chain Reaction | Bronze Trophy |
| You exploded 10 vehicles in 10 seconds. |
Go to a local ammunition supplier and obtain some explosives, the rocket launcher and standard grenades work the best. Once you have these, choose anywhere in town that makes you happy, preferably somewhere busy. Go into the road, steal a car, and park it so that it blocks traffic. Then steal another one and make the pile of cars bigger. Once you have at least 10 cars in a big pile, start detonating them, and then any surrounding cars until the trophy unlocks. **Can be done after completing story mode** Here is the trophy in action by way of a slightly different method: |
 | Order Fulfilled | Bronze Trophy |
| You completed all 10 Exotic Export orders. |
These are Brucie's side missions that are available through the internet at the Tw@ cafes. Log into your email, accept the car by replying to the e-mail, hail a cab and have them take you to the location on the map, retrieve the vehicles, and then return them to Brucie's garage. Sometimes you will have to jack them off other people, steal them from in front of the cops or other fun tasks. The better the condition, the more money you get at the garage. You will have to lose your wanted level before the garage takes them however. Use Pay N' Sprays to repair the car if necessary. Go here for in-depth mission details: http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/92909-post7.html **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Manhunt | Bronze Trophy |
| You completed the most wanted side mission. |
After you complete "Crime and Punishment" you will have access to police computers. When you enter a police car, and are parked, press L1 to open up the police's computer. Choose to view the most wanted criminals. Each island has 10 criminals that need to be dealt with. When you select your criminal of choice from the Most Wanted menu, a GPS beacon appears on your map and takes you right to them. Go here for in-depth mission details: http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/92908-post6.html **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Cleaned The Mean Streets | Bronze Trophy |
| You caught 20 criminals through the police computer. |
After you complete "Crime and Punishment" you will have access to police computers. When you enter a police car, and are parked, press L1 to open up the police's computer. In there you will see a menu to "View Current Crimes." This is going to be your classic Vigilante mission that we've all grown to love. The best part is, they no longer have to be done all at once, you can take your merry time and do them at your leisure. When you select a current crime on your computer, a red GPS beaon will appear on your map taking you to the offender. Eliminate them, and then repeat with 19 more offenders of peace and justice. If your police car becomes damaged, here is an easy way to get a new one. Choose an offender to go after. Quickly head to the crime scene, as you're timed on how fast you get there. Once you arrive, you can take your time, so as soon as you arrive at the scene, start wreaking havoc until police arrive to stop you. Kill both cops that come out of the car, then kill the offender. As soon as you complete your mission, your wanted level automatically disappears, so you can go and take the freshly slain cops' car free of charge. As a note, the computer will tell you what type of a crime you will be going after. Criminal on foot will be the easiest, up to a stolen car chase will take the longest. **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | It'll Cost Ya | Bronze Trophy |
| You made a taxi trip from one island to another without skipping. |
When you see a taxi drive past you, you can hail it by pressing L1, then enter it by walking up to it and holding down Triangle. Once inside, you choose your destination, and you are taken there. You have the option to skip the trip by pressing X (much faster). For this trophy, pick up a taxi on one island, choose a destination on another, and sit there for the entire ride. The shortest way to do this is to go to the map and set a way point (hit X) on end of a bridge. Get into a taxi, and have him take you there. Then get out, and immediately press L1 again and get back in the cab. Now go into the map and set a way point for the other side of the bridge. Have him drive there, and the achievement will unlock. You can also get this trophy on the bridge over to the other island. When the taxi goes to pay the toll, shoot at the car in front of you. The cabbie will get out, and the trophy should unlock. **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Sightseer | Bronze Trophy |
| You have taken all variations of the helicopter tours of Liberty City. |
Go to the Helitours icon on the second island (Right near the bottom). At the Helitours icon, you will see 5 helicopter landing locations in the shape of a "T." Go on all 5 helicopters by holding Triangle near them; you may have to wait for some to get back, because they will not all be waiting for you at the same time. You also may skip the trip if you wish, and the tour will still count. **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Warm Coffee | Bronze Trophy |
| You were invited into your girlfriend's house. |
Throughout the game there are several women that you have the option of dating. Once you take them out, if they like you enough, when you bring them back home, you will have the option to press X to take them to bed. How much they like you is based on several factors, such as the car you're driving, where you purchased your clothes, and where you take her. Listed below are the women possible to date, how to meet them, the cars they most prefer to be picked up in, their favorite clothing stores, their top 4 or so favorite social venues (% is based on how much the woman likes that place, out of 100), and finally if sleeping with the woman nets you any special ability. If you sleep with one of the women that do have an ability, there is no rhyme or reason to when they offer it to you. Sometime after you sleep with them you will receive a call from the woman offering her services. **Can be done after completing story mode** Name: Michelle Acquired: Complete "Three's a Crowd" Favorite Cars: Roman's Cab, Merit, Voodoo, Banshee, Blista Favorite Clothiers: Russian, Hats, Glasses Favorite Venues: Darts (80%), Pool (80%), Comedy (75%), Steinway Beer Gardens (70%), Lucky Winkles (70%) Name: Carmen Ortiz Acquired: Date "SoBoHoe" from Love-meet.net after completing "Out of the Closet" Favorite Cars: Sultan RS, Dukes, Stallion, FXT, E109 Favorite Clothiers: Modo, Perseus Favorite Venues: Any Drinking/Club (90%), Darts (80%), Strip Club (80%), Cabaret/Comedy (80%) Special Ability: Can heal you when you're injured by calling her Name: Kiki Jenkins Acquired: Date "LawChick" from Love-meet.net after completing "Out of the Closet," and unlocking the island of Algonquin Favorite Cars: Washington, Chavos, Dilettante, Marbella, Willard Favorite Clothiers: Russian, Hats, Glasses Favorite Venues: Jerkov's (85%), Club Liberty (85%), Pool/Dart/Bowling (80%), Cabaret/Comedy (80%) Special Ability: Can get rid of up to a 3 star wanted level by calling her Name: Alexandra Chilton Acquired: Date "Liberated Woman" from Craplist.net after completing "Out of the Closet," and unlocking the island of Algonquin Favorite Cars: Huntly, Turismo, Stretch, Infernus, Cognoscenti Favorite Clothiers: Perseus Favorite Venues: Pool/Dart/Bowling/Strip Club (80%), Cabaret/Comedy (80%), Steinway Beer Gardens (70%), Lucky Winkles (70%) Special Ability: You will get all clothes in the city for half price for 24 in-game hours after she offers it to you Name: Kate McReary Acquired: Complete "Waste Not Want Knots" Favorite Cars: Rebla, Patriot, Comet, Habanero, Super GT Favorite Clothiers: Russian Favorite Venues: Darts (80%), Pool (80%), Steinway Beer Gardens (70%), Lucky Winkles (70%) |
 | Half Million | Bronze Trophy |
| You have amassed a fortune of $500,000. |
This will unlock as soon as you have $500,000 on hand. After a little while into the game, the missions become worth around $10,000 to $15,000 apiece. Also, when completing Brucie's email missions and Stevie's text message missions, the cars are worth more money if they are in good condition, so remember, as is mentioned in that section of the guide, Pay N' Spray your car before returning it to him. You can also perform odd jobs for people all over town, drive taxis, kill hookers, and other things that it just wouldn't be a GTA game without, to collect enough money to reach this lofty bankroll. You will also receive $250,000 for completing the mission "Three Leaf Clover," as well as another $250,000 for the deal/revenge mission, so those two missions alone will net you the trophy. **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Full Exploration | Bronze Trophy |
| You unlocked all the islands. |
Complete the story mission "Three Leaf Clover." If you need assistance, here are two different helpful walkthroughs: IGN: GTA 4 Three Leaf Clover Mission Grand Theft Auto IV: Three Leaf Clover - GTA4.TV |
 | You Got The Message | Bronze Trophy |
| You delivered all 30 cars ordered through text message. |
After completing the missions "No. 1" and "Smackdown.," you will receive a text message from Stevie asking you to get a car for him. Once you find and enter the car, you will see a message on the screen that lets you know you have successfully found the car that he was looking for. On your map you will see an icon listed only as "Garage." This is where you will bring the cars back to. The order of the cars is completely random, but you will always get the same 30 cars. After you deliver a car, Stevie will wait 6 in-game hours before sending you a message for the next car. So if you are looking to do this quickly, going to a safe house and saving your game advances the game ahead 6 hours, so if you drop off a car, then go immediately to a safe house, when you wake up the next text will be waiting for you. Check out this website for a map of all car locations and screenshots of the cars: Grand Theft Auto IV: Stevie's Text Message Cars - GTA4.TV **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Assassin's Greed | Bronze Trophy |
| You completed all 9 assassin missions. |
After completing the mission, "Truck Hustle" you unlock the option to complete assassination missions. You will notice a gray cross hair on your map. This is the location of the pay phone that you will get your mission from. Go to the phone and answer the call, and you will be given instructions on which target you will be taking out. They will happen in a random order, the map and instructions are just numbered for organization here. Once at the location, exterminate the target by any means you feel most comfortable with. All that matters is that they die. Go here for in-depth mission details: http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/92907-post5.html **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Under The Radar | Bronze Trophy |
| You flew under all the main bridges in the game. |
Obtain a helicopter by going to the helitours area, or any other means you feel most comfortable with and fly under each of the following bridges: There are 14 Bridges that are needed for this trohpy. When you pass under a required bridge, a message will pop onto your screen letting you know you successfully went under, and how many you have left. If you go under a bridge and do not see the message, go back under it again, because it didn't count. See this map for locations (red circles): http://i25.tinypic.com/ajtk44.jpg Helicopter Control Tips: -Ascend using R2 until at a reasonable height above the water and a few hundred metres from the bridge. -Hold forward on the left stick to start the helicopter moving forward, then release the left stick -Descend using L2, you will still be travelling forwards -Once under the bridge, you should have enough forward momentum to take you under, use L2 to descend and R2 to ascend as you move under the bridge to avoid hitting the water or the underside of the bridge. Low Bridge tips: This bridge only took me one attempt, but was hard nevertheless. The trick is to hover the helicopter's "feet" in the water as you move very slowly forward. Because this bridge is so low and there is not much of a run-up, you will need to control your speed using the left stick BEFORE attempting to go under. **Note** You do not need to do all in one flight, but it can be helpful to make sure you don't forget which you've done and which need to be done. Here is a video of it being done: http://ve3tro.com/gta/under-the-radar.mp4 **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Teamplayer | Bronze Trophy |
| You killed 5 opposing team members. |
In a ranked team game, you need to kill 5 different people from the opposite team in a single match. This should come in the natural progression towards the "Wanted" trophy. |
 | Cut Your Teeth | Bronze Trophy |
| You were successfully promoted up a rank in multiplayer. |
Get enough kills, wins, whatever in ranked matches to earn $1000 online. This will promote you to rank 1. **See "Wanted"** |
 | Join The Midnight Club | Bronze Trophy |
| You won a multiplayer race without damaging your vehicle too much. |
In the multiplayer ranked races, there is an option in the game to have damage turned on or not. You need to win a race with the damage turned on. Choose a track you are familiar at, set it to one lap, and race. |
 | Fly The Co-op | Bronze Trophy |
| You completed "Deal Breaker", "Hangman's NOOSE" and "Bomb da Base II" in time. |
**Note** Thanks to 007craft for the videos!! Deal Breaker - Time To Beat 7:03 Hangman's NOOSE - Time To Beat 2:32 Bomb Da Base II - Time To Beat 5:32 |
 | Taking It For The Team | Bronze Trophy |
| You were on the winning team in all multiplayer team games. |
You need to win at least one of each of the following: Team Mafiya Work Team Deathmatch Team Car Jack City Cops' N Crooks (each side) Turf War This trophy will come on the way to Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic as winning all team games is part of the requirements for that trophy. See the chart on the other trophy to keep track of your wins. |
 | Top Of The Food Chain | Bronze Trophy |
| You successfully killed 20 players with a pistol in a deathmatch. |
This trophy is most easily unlocked with the following settings: Ranked Deathmatch Prison level Pistols only 20 minute match 1 second respawn you can see the other players' dots on the map With such a confined space, with a bit of skill you should be able to get 20 kills in the needed time limit. **Boosting Note** This one is a lot easier to boost than the rest. When you get to a ranked lobby, if there is only one person in there, or if you happen to be the host and one person joins, ask them to do the trophy with you. Many people are willing to boost this because of it being so easy to do. If you do find someone interested, you will be able to see each other on the radar, so it will be very easy to find each other in the confined space of the prison. Personally, I found someone to boost this, it took us about 14 minutes 30 seconds for both of us to get the trophy, then we just played around for the last 5 minutes. |
 | Top The Midnight Club | Bronze Trophy |
| You won 20 different multiplayer standard races. |
You need to win 20 different ranked multiplayer races. This trophy will come while going after "Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic," as winning more than 20 different races is required for that trophy. You can use the chart provided with that trophy to keep track of your progress. |
 | Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic | Bronze Trophy |
| You won in all variations of multiplayer games. |
Here is a very helpful chart made by 007craft to keep track of your progress: IMAGE: http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/members/mjc0961-albums-trophy-guide-images-picture1421-gta-iv-awp-checklist.jpg The best way is to print it off, and use that to keep track of your progress. ***This can be done over multiple sessions!*** |
 | Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie | Bronze Trophy |
| You killed a Rockstar in multiplayer. |
Go into any form of multiplayer match, and get lucky enough to kill a Rockstar developer...... or for that matter, kill almost anyone. This is a viral trophy, so anyone who has killed a developer can pass it on. Enjoy the goodness. |
 | One Man Army | Silver Trophy |
| You survived a 6 star wanted level for a full 5 minutes. |
Here are 2 different methods, both assuming you have not yet unlocked all the islands: If you have all islands unlocked, those are obviously impossible. Try this method instead: You have a safe house outside of Middle Park in Algonquin. Stock up on weapons and ammo (be sure to grab armor), then go to it. You can grab a few big cars for cover, but that's unnecessary. Shoot a few random civilians to get a cop to appear, then shoot him for 3 stars. A chopper will appear, and you can RPG that down for possibly 4 or 5 stars. Through any means, get 4 or 5 stars, then head inside. Don't go upstairs, just take cover on the left side (as you enter), at the top of the stairs. Pick off the cops as they enter the doors to get a 6-star rating. Any method you use to get 6 stars is alright, it's this part that's important. Go to the yellow arrow icon to teleport upstairs. You will now be in your loft, and in the search radius, but completely out of reach to the cops. Just hang out for 5 minutes. **Can be done after completing story mode** |
 | Dare Devil | Silver Trophy |
| You completed all the unique stunt jumps. |
Stunt jumps start out at a ramp. At each location, you should see a ramp. Go up it at speed (best done with a fast bike). If done properly, you should see the screen cut to a cinematic view, and when you land the screen should say unique stunt jump completed, or something like that. IMAGE: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/Jonnnzbucket/GTA4MapStuntJumps.png Feel free to check out this very well done interactive flash guide done by one of our members, Kracker Kwon Do which includes a map, with the corresponding screen shots. It is helpful to look at the mini-map in the screen shots to give yourself a better idea of exactly where the jump is and which direction to look in. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ations1-50.swf Also, if it would help you more to watch videos, here is a video walkthrough of all 50 jumps, plus maps to show you which ones are being shown: http://www.gamesradar.com/f/nail-all...05021829984050 Finally, if neither of those two resources work for you, go here for in-depth text details, as well as a route to the stickied forum where locational questions should be asked: http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/92904-post3.html **Can be done after completing story mode** |

 | Liberty City Minute | Gold Trophy |
| You finished the story in less than 30 hours. |
Complete the GTA: IV storyline in under 30 hours. After completing the final mission, you will enter free play mode, where you can complete any side quests or hooker killing that you may have missed. You can check your progress: Start--> Stats--> General--> Playing Time **Note** This trophy does not unlock until after the credits. Once the game is over, the "You Won!" trophy will unlock, then after the credits will come "Liberty City Minute." Hints: - If you skip cutscenes, you will save time BUT you'll miss the story. We advise you to enjoy GOTY!!!!!! - Taxi journeys with the X skip are fantastic as they don't advance the clock. You can get from one side of the city to the other with the click of a button. Only the load times count. - With autosave on, after every successful mission it saves. Which means if you fail or take too long on a mission, that you can just load the autosave and start at the end of the last mission. - 94 missions in 30 hours equates to just over 3 missions an hour, therefore 20 mins a mission. Some are obviously shorter and some are obviously longer, but 30 hours is a doable figure. A Run Through Example Times (without skipping cutscenes or phone calls): 15 Missions Complete - 2 Hours 9 Minutes 18 Seconds 30 Missions Complete - 4 Hours 37 Minutes 45 Seconds 45 Missions Complete - 8 Hours 1 Minute 42 Seconds 60 Missions Complete - 12 Hours 34 Minutes 19 Seconds 75 Missions Complete - 15 Hours 59 Minutes 37 Seconds 94 Missions Complete - 20 Hours 47 Minutes 1 Second 1 Hour Mark - 7 Missions Complete. 5 Hour Mark - 33 Missions Complete 10 Hour Mark - 51 Missions Complete 15 Hour Mark - 71 Missions Complete 20 Hour Mark - 90 Missions Complete NOTE - This run through was JUST missions, no side missions, no dating (except Michelle 100% because I didn't want her as a non-perfect percentage in my stats!! lol), nothing else. I went from mission to the closest mission on the map using taxi skips mostly. NOTE #2 - I also spent time messing around with the two helicopter trophies, the 5 minutes 6 stars one, and dating everyone I could and going to the comedy club to see every show I could. |

Secret Trophies |
| |
 | Driving Mr. Bellic | Bronze Trophy |
| You unlocked the special ability of Roman's taxi. |
Throughout the course of the game, you will have the opportunity to make up to 5 friends. Each friend has certain activities that they favor over others, and through doing social activities with them, they will begin to like you. Once they like you enough, they will offer their unique services to you. To access their special abilities, press up on the d-pad --> X to open the cell phone menu, X to open the phone book, scroll down to your friend's name, press X, scroll to their special ability, and press X again to ask them for it. If they are available to help you, they will tell you, though sometimes they may be busy, as they have their own lives as well. Now, there is no rhyme or reason to when your friend will offer their services. Once you have reached the necessary "Like" level, sometime in the future, your friend will give you a call to offer their ability to you, so once you have the correct stats, just be patient. This particular trophy is unlocked through befriending Roman. He is awake 24 hours a day, and when you have reached a 60% "Like" level from Roman, and will go away if you drop below 15%. See "Liberty City (5)" for advice on what activities will help raise his "Like" level the best. You can check your progress: Start--> Stats--> General--> Roman Like Roman's special ability is that you can call him up and he will send a taxi to pick you up and take you anywhere, free of charge. **Can be done after completing story mode** |

So that means attempting their 1st (or only) mission or seeing them in the context of the storyline. Several of the characters will provide you with more than one mission. All is explained in detail in the Item & Location sticky. In the description it states if the character will only appear at certain times of the day. If nothing is noted, the character can appear anytime. The characters may also not always be in their locations. If the character you are looking for is not where the map states they should be, that is normal.
