![]() | Platinum Trophy | |||||
| Platinum Trophy | ||||||
You must unlock all other [PROTOTYPE] trophies to unlock this trophy. | ||||||
![]() | Revenge Revisited | |||||
| Complete Story Mode on hard difficulty. | ||||||
You only need to focus on the story missions for this trophy. You will not be able to start a New Game + your first time on hard mode, so you will need to do this from scratch: no bringing a fully upgraded Alex to this party. See the various boss fight trophies for tips if you get stuck on any of them, and check out the strategy in Unnatural Selection for racking up EP if you're feeling too underpowered. The Whipfist, Blade Air Slice, and Air Critical Pain Devastator will be your friends in this run as well. To buy the Air Critical Pain Devastator, you will first have to buy the Palm Slam, Critical Pain Devastator, and Cannonball upgrades. | ||||||
![]() | Endless Hunger | |||||
| Consume 200 characters to boost your health. | ||||||
To consume a character, approach them, grab them with CIRCLE, and then press TRIANGLE to consume them. Consuming characters will give you health (and you will consume for health often), and can also give you memories and abilities if prompted by the story or if the person you consume is a Web of Intrigue target. You should have this unlocked by the time you finished your first playthrough of the story mode, but if you don't get it by the end of the story, there are plenty of people to consume in Free Roam, so just walk the streets and eat everyone until you unlock the trophy. | ||||||
![]() | Trail Of Corpses | |||||
| Kill 53,596 infected. | ||||||
Unfortunately, you will have to do some serious grinding to unlock this trophy. After two run throughs (second using New Game + of course), completing all of the kill and war events, and going for other trophies where killing infected is involved, I only had around 18,500 infected kills. So try to save this one for last so that you already have some of the kills under your belt. When it comes down to this one, the general best strategy is to pick a kill event where you can rack up many infected kills quickly and keep playing it over and over. The most obvious would be the Rolling Thunder event, where you get two minutes in the Thermobaric Tank to kill as many infected as possible. This event has the highest number of points required for the Platinum medal (750) of any kill event making this the optimal event to grind for kills. | ||||||
![]() | Wrecking Yard | |||||
| Destroy 2,000 vehicles. | ||||||
All vehicles count toward this. Civilian cars, APCs, tanks, and helicopters are all fair game. You will destroy plenty of vehicles throughout the story, but it will not be enough to unlock this trophy. The easiest way to rack up credit for this is to steal a tank or APC from the military, and just run over civilian vehicles. As long as you don't fire at any military vehicles or otherwise kill a lot of military personnel while they are watching, you will be free to crush vehicles without consequence. | ||||||
![]() | Misconception | |||||
| Destroy 25 Infected Water Towers before they hatch. | ||||||
This is fairly easy once you have the Infected Vision ability and have learned how to fly helicopters. Hijack a helicopter, fly to an infected zone (red on the map), activate your Infected Vision ability, and fly around the rooftops looking for water towers that are glowing a bright red/orange color. If you don't see any right away, just keep flying around and eventually some should spawn. Lock on and destroy them from a distance so that they do not hatch. It shouldn't take long as you will have already had to destroy some infected water towers in the story. | ||||||
![]() | Brain Trust | |||||
| Complete all Consume Events. | ||||||
There are consume events for both military and infected. To start one, find the person you are meant to consume and consume them. The infected events are quite simple: you will be tasked with destroying a hive, so steal a tank or helicopter and get to work. There are 9 total infected consume events. | ||||||
![]() | Streetwise | |||||
| Collect all Landmark collectibles scattered across New York City. | ||||||
There are 200 blue orbs that make up the Landmark collectibles in this game. You must track them all down to unlock this trophy. There is a very good interactive map located at MSXbox World that you can use to help with locating them all. You can zoom in and click any mark to view screenshots of each collectible's location in game and on the pause menu's map. Be sure to use both of these features, especially for the Times Square section, as the markers are crammed there, and zooming in far enough to separate them may cause some of the marks to appear in the wrong place. Clicking to get the extra screenshots is a must for that area. You can find the interactive map here: Prototype - Interactive Map | ||||||
![]() | Polymath | |||||
| Collect all Hint Collectibles scattered across New York City. | ||||||
There are 50 pink/purple orbs that make up the Landmark collectibles in this game. You must track them all down to unlock this trophy. There is a very good interactive map located at MSXbox World that you can use to help with locating them all (including screenshots of each collectible when you click on any mark on their map), found here: Prototype - Interactive Map | ||||||
![]() | Half-Truths | |||||
| Complete a mission without causing a single Military Alert. | ||||||
See Mankind Is Your Mask. | ||||||
![]() | Mankind Is Your Mask | |||||
| Complete 3 missions without causing a single Military Alert. | ||||||
Military alerts will be triggered when any military personnel who can see you observe you using your offensive powers, attacking other military personnel, using a defensive power, consuming anyone, picking up cars or people, or changing your disguise. You might also trigger an alert if you run down the street using the R2 button and hop over a tank. Viral Detectors can also cause an alert if you stay in their radius long enough, so pay attention to the alert meter if one is nearby. | ||||||
![]() | The Butcher | |||||
| Kill 50 characters in 5 seconds. | ||||||
This is easily done in an APC or tank. Find a road with a high concentration of civilians on both sides of the road. Start running over them on one side, and fire your cannon at the civilians at the other side of the road. The trophy should unlock without a problem. Alternatively, you could wait until you play one of the two kill events where you get a Thermobaric Tank (Rolling Thunder and Demolition) as it should be very easy to unlock this due to the large blast radius of the tank's primary weapon. | ||||||
![]() | Return Fire | |||||
| Catch any object tossed by a Hydra; and throw it back. | ||||||
Hydras are big red tentacle type things that pop out of the ground. The easiest and quite possibly the only location to get this trophy in during the mission "Things to Come" where you have to protect the Bloodtox pumper from being destroyed by waves of infected. The final wave before the mission ends will consist of two Leaders and two Hydras. Take care of the Leaders first so that they don't destroy the pump, and then focus on one of the Hydras. Keep a decent distance from them and their main method of attack will be to pick up nearby civilian vehicles or piece of pavement and throw it at you. You want to press CIRCLE right before this object would hit you and Alex should catch it. Then all you need to do is press CIRCLE again to throw it back at the Hyrda. When it hits, you should unlock the trophy. You can also try using the Longshot Grab from your Whipfist if you have it unlocked to grab the object while it's in midair. | ||||||
![]() | Gunning | |||||
| Destroy 20 Helicopters in a single Helicopter flight. | ||||||
This trophy is no longer a pain thanks to PS3T.org user HUYI and YouTube user Thegamingguru65. Simply put, once you have the ability to fly helicopters from the mission "Biological Imperative", hijack a helicopter, fly to the location where you start the Friendly Fire kill event, and destroy the helicopter sitting there 20 times. Here's a video showing you how to make the helicopter respawn after destroying it, and to prove that unlocking this trophy really is that easy:
Alternatively, you can start either the Friendly Fire or Death From Above kill events. These task you with destroying enemy helicopters that are out to get you. You will get infinite homing missiles and if they blow up your helicopter before you get twenty of them, it will end the event which will prompt the game to ask you if you'd like to try again, which will give you another chance at the trophy with no extra effort on your part. | ||||||
![]() | Cleanup | |||||
| Kill 15 characters with a single Whipfist attack. | ||||||
Before you can unlock this trophy, you will need to buy the Whipfist Power and Street Sweeper upgrades (found under the powers tab). Once you have those, this is easily done by going into an infected zone and finding an area with a lot of regular infected running around. They should come to you to attack, at which point you use the Street Sweeper. If you killed 15 infected with it, you unlock the trophy. If not, wait for more to swarm you and try again. | ||||||
![]() | The First Thread | |||||
| Unlock the Web of Intrigue. | ||||||
This trophy is story related and cannot be missed. It will unlock near the end of the mission "Look for Clues About Your Past" near the start of the game. | ||||||
![]() | Self-Deception | |||||
| Discover what happened to Alex Mercer through the Web of Intrigue. | ||||||
You need to consume James Winninger to unlock this trophy. See Web Of Knowledge for more information. | ||||||
![]() | Web Of Knowledge | |||||
| Acquire all nodes of the Web of Intrigue. | ||||||
The game will explain the Web of Intrigue to you near the end of the "Look for Clues About Your Past" mission, but if you need a refresher course, you will see the image shown in the trophy tile pop up on your map. When that happens, you will need to go to that location and consume the person with that icon over their head to add to the Web of Intrigue. There will be many targets tied to the story and consume events, and you can also find targets inside military bases, so check them often as well. I recommend not going out and specifically looking for targets until you have completed everything else there is to do in Free Roam mode, as you will find that many targets will crop up without you needing to look. When they do, you should drop whatever you are doing and go consume them. It's easier to restart a scripted event such as a mission or event than it is to find the target again. Also, do not worry if a target dies as they will respawn again later, so you cannot miss this trophy. When you do finish everything else available and still need a few more targets to finish your Web of Intrigue (I only had 11 left to find), ThisIsWar has provided a map of targets and some extra information about filling in the Web that will be more than enough to help you finish unlocking this trophy: http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/218011-post8.html | ||||||
![]() | It's Him! | |||||
| Patsy 5 military personnel. | ||||||
You will need to purchase the Pasty upgrade (under the Disguise tab on the upgrades page) to unlock this trophy. You will have to use a military disguise, and be of a higher rank than the person you wish to patsy. This is easily done after infiltrating a military base as you will have assumed the form of the base commander, and everyone inside should be a lower rank than you. Target one of the military personnel inside, hold the R1 button, and then press SQUARE when the icon lights up on the right side of the screen to pasty the poor sap. Wait for the ability to recharge and then repeat. | ||||||
![]() | In Plain Sight | |||||
| Evade 10 strike teams. | ||||||
To evade a strike team, you must first get the military to call in a strike team. Just go to any location where there are military personnel and do something to raise an alert, such as killing them or using one of your attack powers. Then just stay alive and make sure the alert is maintained and soon someone will call in an airstrike. You will see "Strike Team Inbound" appear on the screen and should see some "lightning bolt in a circle" icons appear on your minimap, which are the strike team. Now that you have one called, just run away and try to hide somewhere that nobody in the military can see you and you can change your disguise. Try looking for alleys or dropping from a tall building. Once you see the "SWITCH" trigger pop-up on screen, switch and then wait wherever you are. The strike team should go away, and you will see "STRIKE TEAM EVADED" appear on you screen. Repeat this 9 times for the trophy. | ||||||
![]() | Infiltrator | |||||
| Infiltrate 10 Military Bases disguised as a Commander. | ||||||
You will need to infiltrate a military base in the mission "The Wheels of Chance" and so the game will teach you how to do so. After you know how and have completed the mission, simply repeat what you did in the mission at nine other bases to unlock this trophy. It will be beneficial to you do to so as not only will you work towards the trophy, but inside the bases will be other military personnel you can consume to upgrade your skills with weapons and military vehicles, along with some Web of Intrigue targets. | ||||||
![]() | Threat Elevated | |||||
| Destroy 25 strike teams. | ||||||
Once again, you will need to have a strike team called in for this. Just go to any location where there are military personnel and do something to raise an alert, such as killing them or using one of your attack powers. Then just stay alive and make sure the alert is maintained and soon someone will call in an airstrike. You will see "Strike Team Inbound" appear on the screen and should see some "lightning bolt in a circle" icons appear on your minimap, which are the strike team. Now that you have one called, destroy all the helicopters that came (these are the lightning bolt marks on your minimap). Use a tank or another helicopter, throw things at them, steal the helicopters from their pilots, whatever you please (using a tank is recommended so you can work towards Surface-To-Air as well). Once you have destroyed all units in the strike team, you will see "STRIKE TEAM DESTROYED" appear on your screen. Please note that sometimes the strike team brings in some of the flying viral detectors which must also be destroyed. | ||||||
![]() | Repossession | |||||
| Seize 50 vehicles from enemy hands. | ||||||
Another trophy that you should easily get before you complete the story mode. But if not, it should come as you complete other trophies involving military vehicles (Misconception, Threat Elevated, Surface-To-Air, etc). Or you can either look for helicopters in the sky and hijack them with your Longshot Grab, or go to either military or infected areas and steal some tanks. No matter how you choose to do it, this is fairly simple. | ||||||
![]() | SME | |||||
| Gain the ability to drive and fly all vehicles. | ||||||
This trophy is story related and cannot be missed. You will gain the ability to drive APCs and tanks in the mission "The Wheels of Chance", and you will gain the ability to fly helicopters in the mission "Biological Imperative". Once you consume the pilot in "Biological Imperative" the trophy will unlock. | ||||||
![]() | Surface-To-Air | |||||
| Shoot down 50 helicopters while driving armor. | ||||||
This is somewhat easy. You can steal a tank and then drive around the city looking for helicopters flying in the sky, or just cause an alert while in a tank and let the helicopters (and fresh tanks) come to you. Either way, lock onto the helicopters with L2 and fire when you have a clear shot. It shouldn't take much to take them down. You should be able to take out a large chuck of this trophy, if not complete it altogether, while working towards the Threat Elevated trophy. | ||||||
![]() | Evolutionary Step | |||||
| Use the Upgrade Menu to acquire an Upgrade. | ||||||
This trophy is story related and cannot be missed. You will be prompted to buy your first upgrade before you can start the mission "Behind the Glass" which occurs near the start of the game. The game will teach you how to buy upgrades and once you have bought the required Diveroll upgrade, the trophy will unlock. | ||||||
![]() | Unnatural Selection | |||||
| Acquire all available upgrades. | ||||||
A rather easy trophy, you just need to put in the time to acquire enough EP to purchase all of the upgrades. You will easy have enough long before you finish all the extra side missions such as collectibles and events. So just keep chugging along and this will be yours in time. However, if you are impatient and need this ASAP, this strategy discovered by osakamitsu on our sister site for easy EP during the "Biological Imperative" mission should be highly effective: | ||||||
![]() | The Cleaner | |||||
| Destroy 10 Military Bases or Infected Hives in New York City. | ||||||
This is much more easily done going after Hives as they have much weaker defenses against you if you come after them in a tank or helicopter, which you will want to do to take down the hive quickly. So just steal a tank or helicopter, find an infected zone, get to the hive in the center, and destroy it. If you go after bases, follow the same strategy: grab some heavy weaponry and blow up the base (from the outside, not inside like you did during the "Escape the Hunters" mission at the start of the game). | ||||||
![]() | In The Web | |||||
| Consume 50 Web Targets. | ||||||
See Web Of Knowledge. | ||||||
![]() | Au | |||||
| Achieve a rating of Gold or better in all Events. | ||||||
See Pt. | ||||||
![]() | Nice Guy | |||||
| Complete the game while consuming 10 Civilians or fewer. | ||||||
This is actually quite simple. There are so many military personnel and various types of infected that you should never need to consume any civilians. You can tell the difference between civilians and infected civilians (who can be consumed without consequence) by looking at their appearance and behavior. Civilians look like normal people, and will generally ignore you or run away from you. Infected civilians look and move rather like zombies, and will run towards you to try and attack you. Please note that civilians who are Web of Intrigue targets are not counted against you either. | ||||||
![]() | Hard To Kill | |||||
| Complete Story Mode in any difficulty without dying. | ||||||
Save before every mission, and if you should die, quit to the main menu and reload your save so you can try the mission again. If you are patient, you should be able to get this the first time you play the game on medium. However, if you are having trouble, you can continue to play without getting this trophy right away, keep playing past the story missions until you have unlocked all of Alex's abilities, and then start a New Game + on Easy. This will carry over all of your abilities, putting you at a huge advantage and making this trophy feel like it should only be a bronze instead of a gold. sulhaq has come up with an alternate way to keep your death count at 0 without quitting the game and having to start the entire mission over: "Get the Adrenaline Surge ability ASAP. Now, whenever you are about to die, instead of dying you will go into Critical Mass to give you one last shot at a Devastator. Instead of using a Devastator, just pause the game, reload the last checkpoint, and try again." To reload the last checkpoint from the pause menu, go to Quit -> Restore Checkpoint. | ||||||
![]() | Speed Bumps | |||||
| Run over 500 characters in a single tank. | ||||||
This is fairly easy, but will take about 10-15 minutes. This has to be done without getting out of your tank; if you get out or your tank is destroyed, the count resets. Once you have learned how to drive tanks and APCs, steal one and then just drive around the city running over civilians. It helps to just keep driving over sidewalks as most of the civilians will be on them. Try to stay in the normal areas of the city so you only run over civilians. If you go into the military zones, you run the risk of running over military personnel and triggering an alert and possibly having your tank destroyed. If you go into the infected zones, you also run the risk of running over military personnel, and you also run the risk of having some Hunters follow you. Because of this, it is easier to do this trophy either right after you've learned how to drive APCs and tanks, or after the story in Free Roam mode. | ||||||
![]() | Pt | |||||
| Achieve a Platinum Medal in all Events. | ||||||
GLITCH WARNING: It is possible due to a glitch to miss out on the Pt trophy, but thankfully it's easy to avoid. The glitch occurs if you obtain Platinum Medal scores in all of the events before you unlock the Au trophy. To avoid this and make sure you can get Pt, simply make sure that you have at least one event that you have not obtained a platinum level score on before you unlock Au. As long as you have at least one event that stays at Gold when the game gives you the option to go for platinum scores, you will not have any problems. Thanks to blymberry for discovering this and bringing it to my attention. | ||||||
Secret Trophies | ||||||
![]() | Crossing the T | |||||
| Complete the Hunter Boss Encounter | ||||||
This trophy is story related and cannot be missed. This boss encounter occurs during the mission "Crossing the T." This will be rather challenging as you will have to face many Hunters at a point in the game where you have very few abilities. There are also plenty of military personnel in the area trying to kill you as well. Consume them for health if you need it. Very early in the fight, you will unlock the Claws offensive ability. You can use this to help in this fight, but you're still likely to do more damage using the various weapons in the base instead. I recommend that you also buy the Shield defensive ability and use it to help absorb incoming fire from the military personnel. When you get far enough into the fight, you will be tasked with blowing up the military base. When that happens, try to ignore the Hunters and focus on blowing up the six marked tanks with military weapons to end the fight and unlock the trophy. | ||||||
![]() | Errand Boy | |||||
| Complete the Specialist Boss Fight. | ||||||
This trophy is story related and cannot be missed. This boss fight occurs during the mission "Errand Boy." The Specialist is pretty easy to beat, especially if you have purchased the Whipfist offensive ability. Lock on and keep your distance from him. Start charging a jump and wait for him to stop holding up his electric wand and point the laser site on his gun at you. At this point, quickly jump to one side and use the and use the Whipfist's special attack (press TRIANGLE) in midair to damage him. At one point he will summon some infected to attack you, and then later he will summon some military personnel to attack you as well. Consume them for health if you need it, but otherwise you should keep focusing on attacking him. Just keep dodging and attacking and he should fall with little trouble. | ||||||
![]() | Children of Blacklight | |||||
| Complete the Supreme Hunter Boss Fight. | ||||||
This trophy is story related and cannot be missed. This boss fight occurs during the first mission called "Defeat the Supreme Hunter" which is near the middle of the game. For in-depth information on how to fight this boss, see this post: Children of Blacklight - View Single Post | ||||||
![]() | On Instinct | |||||
| Complete the Mother Boss Battle. | ||||||
This trophy is story related and cannot be missed. This boss fight occurs during the mission "Defeat Elizabeth Greene." For in-depth information on how to fight this boss, see this post: On Instinct - View Single Post | ||||||
![]() | One Thousand Suns | |||||
| Complete the Supreme Hybrid Boss Battle. | ||||||
This trophy is story related and cannot be missed. This boss fight occurs during the second mission called "Defeat the Supreme Hunter" which is the last mission of the game. For in-depth information on how to fight this boss, see this post: One Thousand Suns - View Single Post | ||||||
![]() | Hope | |||||
| Discover the truth behind Hope, Idaho through the Web of Intrigue. | ||||||
You need to consume 1stLt Luis Robertson to unlock this trophy. See Web Of Knowledge for more information. | ||||||
![]() | Origin | |||||
| Discover the history of Elizabeth Greene through the Web of Intrigue. | ||||||
You need to consume Dr. Henrik Sebring to unlock this trophy. See Web Of Knowledge for more information. | ||||||
