    Get A+ on all the chapters

    How to unlock Get A Life

    You need to get an A+ score on each chapter that you can get a score in (all except 12, Final, 18, 19). The best tactic for this is to wear the Zack mask (longer combo windows) and chain your kills together. Try to get as many executions ( on a downed enemy) as possible within the combo as they give you extra points. You should try and clear each room in one combo, this should give you more than enough points to get an A+.

    Here's a series of youtube videos showing how to get A+

    NOTE: If you are struggling with this you can delete patch 1.01 and this trophy will pop after A+'ing only 11 or 12 levels.

  • Game Breaking trophy!
  • This took me plenty of retries, but I just got it. And I've only started playing this game less than a week ago. Zack mask is good for this, but a suitable alternative is Brandon, who makes you faster. Even though you don't have the extended combo window, being that fast makes it fairly easy to fully combo an entire room (and sometimes, even two rooms if you plan out your chains right). BE reckless, have them come to you. A lot of times, all I did was take out lured enemies with a simple melee weapon. Didn't do a lot of executions, so it was usually enough for that A+ rank.
  • I am having an extremely difficult time with this one, I saved this one for last but i probably shouldn't have. Love the game though, great art style and story.
  • Without the patch it takes me 15 levels to get it. The levels i miss the A+ so i don't count are: Chapter 10: A Chapter 12: Does not have score Final Chapter: Does not have score Chapters: 17, 18, 19 and the Special chapter.
  • Holy chiiit that chapter 10 was hard to got A+....Took many many hours and tries. Finally got 144K points and got that bloody A+...I think you need to get about 139K to reach A+. Got once 136K and it was grade A. Good luck for trying this...In PC this would be soooo much easier to use mouse and keyboard. Aiming need lots of practice in PS3, but it's quite "easy" when you know how it's behaving.
  • Deleting the patch doesnt work for me =/
  • hardest trophy, but only till you figure out the tactix
  • I used Carl (Start with a Drill) for Prelude,1,2 n 3... stuck on 4 now -_-
  • if you get A+ on level before deleting patch will it still work?
  • Go for Don Juan : it gives you 2200 points for each kill against a wall. I made almost every levels with it
  • Do you have to A+ chapter 16 & 17 too even though they are after final chapter? I hope so otherwise this trophy has glitched on me :/
  • It was hard for me to get this trophy, finally i got it:). My advice is to use Don Juan to get 3000 points per kill, do it slowly and one by one. I also used Carl byt didn't work for every level. About the patch i can't confirm if its works i did deleted but still had to made all levels on A+, maybe because i plaid on PS4?
  • there is video with easy scoring by wearing Don Juan mask if someone have problem to get points. http://youtu.be/KSpgj8ZhYPk
  • Actually it doesnt work for everyone. I have finished a few maps with drill only with so many points and there were no A+. This is te only thing which sucks in that game.
  • This is so hard.. I am in mission 10 (hot&heavy) and I am using Don Juan mask, executing almost everyone by the walls, still getting max B+... Also tried using combo mask, speed mask and drill mask.... Anyone got any tips?
  • Chapter 10 and 17 is the hardest in the game. I recommend doing Ch. 10 as Zack and do the entire thing with just fists, and surely get an A+ on it. Ch. 17, I recommend that you have to get 50,000 or over, to get an A+. Combo Multiplier is short and recommend that you'll have to kill 10X or more while using the knifes, they can get high points using them and multiplying the combos used, you'll get A+ no time.
  • Does the unpatched bug happen with the PS4 and Vita versions?
  • @17 I have read that the game was fully patched on release on PS4 so it won't work. Unsure if that is true or about the vita
  • I've never uninstalled a patch before. Will doing this make my patched save files unusable? I've read that this is the case. So I'd have to star the game from scratch to to attempt this? I've also read that this could potentially corrupt save files. Does getting an A+ prior to deleting the patch count towards the total? Seriously, simply saying "delete the patch" isn't good instruction.
  • I just got the A+ on level 10 on my third try. Don Juan mask, wall kicking as many people as possible. My advice is to give 10 a shot, get it done, and forget about deleting the patch. Once you try it, it's pretty straightforward. Then do the rest. Just blazed through 1,2,3, and 4. All Don Juan mask.
  • I deleted the patch on my Vita and started going level by level, to see where it unlocked with the glitch. I ended up getting A+ on all the levels and the Trophy unlocked naturally :P
