Introduction:
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is an action/adventure 3rd person game. The puzzles are usually easy and it also has a lot of gunfights. The big difference from the first game in the series is the added online multiplayer. The online does not require any grinding as you only need to complete a round of competetive and cooperative multiplayer. The single-player will have you go through at least two playthroughs, one on hard and one on crushing difficulty, and most likely some chapter select to clean up the rest of the trophies. Look below for a step by step roadmap to platinum Uncharted 2: Among Thieves..

Step One: Hard playthrough while focusing on weapon and combat trophies
Just play through the game on hard and enjoy it. If you're not to worried about a fresh playthrough, you could also use the treasure videos (see "Master Fortune Hunter") as you go along. If not, wait for step four to get the treasures. What you should think about while playing is the Combat trophies and Weapon trophies. Always try to use a gun that you have yet to get a trophy for. Most likely, you can forget about getting the "200 Kills: GAU - 19" during your two playthroughs, so I suggest you leave that one for "Step Five". Also try to kill 75 enemies in a row without dying for the "Survivor" trophy on this playthrough. For general tips on how to play this game, refer to the "Charted! - Crushing" trophy in the guide.

Step Two: Cleaning up combat trophies using chapter select
Now it's time to take a look at the combat trophies you didn't get in step one. Look at the trophyguide and you'll find the easiest and fastest way to get them using chapter select. Feel free to play on very easy.

Step Three: Online
There are only two online trophies in this game, and they are both fast to get. Play one round of competetive multiplayer and one round of Co-op multiplayer and you have all the online trophies in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

Step Four: Crushing playthrough while focusing on weapon trophies
Now it's time to tackle Crushing and the treasures if you didn't get them in Step 1. Also focus on any weapon related trophies you don't have yet. No reason to worry about it if you lack several of them as you can use chapter select to get the ones you don't get during this playthrough. For tips on how to cope with the crushing difficulty, refer to the "Charted! - Crushing" trophy in the guide.

Step Five: Weapon trophies using chapter select
When finishing crushing, you might still need one or more weapon trophies. 200 Kills with the GAU is easy to miss. Just buy any missing guns from the store along with infinite ammo and one shot kills. Then use chapter select to get the last weapon trophies. I recommend replaying the start of chapter 6 as it starts off with a big firefight.

Conclusion:
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a fairly linear game, and the puzzles are rather easy to figure out. You shouldn't have to much problems getting through the game, except for some of the gunfights. If your stuck, the forum is a great place to get help on what to do.

20 HeadshotsBronze Trophy
Defeat 20 enemies with headshots

See "250 Headshots"

100 HeadshotsBronze Trophy
Defeat 100 enemies with headshots
See "250 Headshots"
Headshot ExpertBronze Trophy
Defeat five enemies in a row with headshots

This should be a very easy trophy if you read my tips on the 250 Headshots trophy. If you have any trouble, wait for the sections where you get the Dragon Sniper rifle and aim for the heads. If you did not get this trophy during any of your playthroughs, chapter 22 has a sniper section where you can get this easily.

Run-and-GunnerBronze Trophy
Defeat 20 enemies by shooting from the hip (without aiming with L1)

This trophy should be very easy to get. Just remember that you have to kill 20 enemies by shooting without aiming. Just run up close to enemies and push the R1 button to shoot, without using the L1 button. Chapter 6 on very easy is the best chapter to get this one if you missed it during any of your playthroughs as it starts off with more than enough people to kill for this trophy.

HangmanBronze Trophy
Defeat 20 enemies with gunfire by aiming while hanging
Nathan Drake can shoot even when he's climbing and hanging from ledges. I'm not sure if it counts if you're climbing a wall, but there are plenty of places in the game where you can shoot enemies while hanging from a ledge or a pole or similar. You'll get this after killing 20 enemies while hanging.

"For both grenade hangman and hangman the ideal spot would be in chapter 19 (second checkpoint) on very easy. While hanging on an edge either shoot by aiming (L1) and firing (R1) or throw grenades by pressing L2. Kill the required amount of enemies for both of these trophies and they are yours."
Thanks to Trophy_collecta for the tip.
50 Kills: 92FS - 9mmBronze Trophy
Defeat 50 enemies with the 92FS - 9mm

All the weapon trophies require that you kill a set number of enemies with that weapon. Kills count over different playthroughs, so if you kill 30 enemies on your hard playthrough and 20 enemies in your crushing playthrough with the 92FS, you would get the "50 Kills: 92FS - 9mm" trophy. After you complete the game for the first time, you can buy these weapons along with infinite ammo in the in-game store. You enable the weapons by going into the pause menu and then: "Bonuses -> Store -> Weapons -> Weapon of your choice -> Give Weapon". Infinite ammo is found under Tweaks instead of Weapons. These in-game-cheats do not prevent trophies, but you have to use them on a difficulty you have completed before or an easier difficulty. So after you finish crushing, just buy the guns you missed the trophy for and replay chapter 6 over and over again, using chapter select. It starts off with a lot of enemies for you to kill. You can also choose "Restart Checkpoint" or even die on purpose and the kills will still count.

Triple Dyno-MightBronze Trophy
Defeat three enemies with one explosion

In order to get this trophy, you have to "create" an explosion that kills three people at once. There are three ways to create an explosion. You can toss a grenade (hold L2 button to aim and push L1 to throw). The second option is to pick up a Propane Tank by pushing the triangle button, then throw it with the the L2 button and finally shoot the tank by pushing the R1 button when it's near three enemies. You don't even need to aim. The last option is towards the end of Chapter 21 - Convoy. Here you will find yourself on a truck where you can shoot explosive bullets. Just hit as many cars and trucks as possible and this trophy should unlock. I had already unlocked this trophy before I got to this chapter, but I got the in game Quad Dyno-Might! medal here for killing four enemies with one explosion. That will automaticly unlock the Triple Dyno-Might! trophy as well.
Thanks to manga13 for confirming that this trophy stacks.

Grenade HangmanBronze Trophy
Defeat ten enemies with grenades by aiming while hanging

This trophy is just like "Hangman", only that you need to toss grenades in stead of shooting enemies while hanging. If you're not sure about this, read my tips on the "Hangman" trophy.

Bare-knuckle BrawlerBronze Trophy
Defeat 20 enemies with hand-to-hand combat

See the "Bare-knuckle Slugger" trophy.

Steel Fist MasterBronze Trophy
Defeat 20 enemies with a single punch, after softening them up with gunfire

To get a Steel Fist kill you have to first injure an enemy with enough gunfire (without aiming with L1), and then hit them once by pressing the square button. You have to do this 20 times in order to get this trophy. See "Steel Fist Expert" for more tips.

ThrillseekerBronze Trophy
Complete one Competitive Multiplayer game

To get this one, just complete one competitive multiplayer game. You will also get it if a friend of yours sends a video of his competitive multiplayer round. You can even fast forward all the way to the end and the trophy will pop at the end of the video.

Buddy SystemBronze Trophy
Complete one Cooperative Multiplayer game

You have to play one game of Co-op Objective to get this trophy. The trophy will pop when you complete it.

Sneaky...Bronze Trophy
Get 50 Stealth Kills in Deathmatch of Elimination games

In order to get a stealth kill, you have to sneak up behind an enemy and press . This has to be done 50 times. If you are level 34 or higher, I can recommend using the 'Walk Softly' booster that costs $79,500 in the in-game Multiplayer store. 'Walk Softly' means you move silently. You might also get an advantage if you use the skeleton skins or one of the PlayStation heroes skins (DLC) as they don't talk.

Brass KnucklesBronze Trophy
Get 100 Melee Kills in Deathmatch or Elimination games

To melee someone, get close and hit . With no other damage, it will take two hits to kill someone with melee. Other tactics could be to blindfire your enemy as you are closing in on them and then press for an immediate melee kill. It might take some tries getting used to how much damage you have to deal with a gun in order to kill someone with one melee hit. If you know your enemy is using either the 'Invalid' or 'Glass Jaw' booster, one melee hit is enough. This trophy will pop when you reach 100 melee kills.

Tastes Like ChickenBronze Trophy
Get 20 BBQ Medals in Deathmatch or Elimination games

To get a BBQ medal, you have to kill an enemy with a propane tank. There are two ways to do this. The first method is to shoot a propane tank when an enemy runs past it. It doesn't have the same blast range as a grenade, so the enemy has to be pretty close to it. The other method is to pick up the propane tank with and toss it with and then shoot it with . Do not aim when you do this, as it will automatically hit the propane tank. Just shoot it when you think it's close enough to an enemy to kill. You have to do this 20 times and this trophy will unlock.

The 'Treasure Bearer' booster will let you walk in normal speed while carrying the Propane tank and is very helpful to get BBQ kills easier. You must be level 24 to get it and it costs $43,500. Thanks to Bolugle for this tip.

Rapid Fire!Bronze Trophy
Get 7 Tripled Medals in Deathmatch or Elimination games

A Tripled medal is awarded when you kill 3 enemies in rapid succession. And it is rapid! There are multiple strategies to get a Tripled medal, but they all include having enough enemies in a small area, so you won't get a chance too often. I usually try to keep at least one grenade on me so that when I see a group of people, I'll toss it. A shotgun can also be effective. If that's your thing, then just move around with the left stick and blindfire when you're close enough. If you're a good sniper, you might be able to kill 3 people fast enough with the FAL or Dragon Sniper. If you get two kills in rapid succession (Double Down medal), look around fast to see if there is another enemy you can kill immediately.

I Told You I Was HardcoreBronze Trophy
Complete All 3 Co-op Objective Maps on Hard Difficulty

As the descriptions says, you have to beat all 3 Co-op Objective Maps on hard difficulty. The maps are as follows:

- Nepal Warzone
- The Village
- The Sanctuary

To unlock hard difficulty, you have to beat one map on normal difficulty. It's only the host of a party that needs to have hard unlocked. Either go to 'Matchmaking' and then 'Co-op Objective' or use Custom game to get this trophy. If you are the host of a party or are simply going to matchmaking to play with random people, make sure you click and set Co-op objective difficulty to hard.

Teamwork is important to beating these levels. Stay relatively close to each other so that it's easier to revive each other and use cover. If you need a partner to boost with, use the Co-op Buddies thread.

Made ItBronze Trophy
Finish Wave 10 in 1 Survival Game


Go to 'Matchmaking' and set playlist to 'Co-op Arena' and then hit 'Find Match'. This playlist covers both Survival and Gold Rush so you might not get the game mode you want first, but this shouldn't be too big of a problem. You can also use the 'Custom Game' option to get this trophy, but I recommend having a party of 3 when doing this.

When you have started the game, your task is to clear 10 rounds of enemies, and each round will be harder and harder. Cover and staying close to team-mates is important. Make sure you pick up the GAU and/or Rocket Launcher whenever possible.

Gold DiggerBronze Trophy
Finish Wave 10 in 1 Gold Rush Game

Go to 'Matchmaking' and set playlist to 'Co-op Arena' and then hit 'Find match'. This playlist covers both Survival and Gold Rush so you might not get the game mode you want first, but this shouldn't be to big of a problem. You can also use the 'Custom Game' option to get this trophy, but I recommend having a party of 3 when doing this.

This mode is similar to Survival, but this time you will have to deliver the treasure for each round. Just follow the arrows that will lead you to the treasure and then follow them back to deliver the treasure. It's important to work as a team and stay close together. It's also important to know that the treasure will reset if you leave it for a while. This means if you carry it close to the goal for instance, but have to leave it because there are to many enemies, make sure you return to the treasure to pick it up before it resets.

Wipe Them Out...Bronze Trophy
Win 50 Deathmatch Games

Go to 'Matchmaking' and set playlist to 'Deathmatch' and then hit 'Find match'. You will also find deathmatch under the following playlists:

- Ranked
- All Competitive Modes

In order to win a deathmatch, it is your team that has to win the game. The goal of deathmatch is to be the first team to reach 50 kills. You don't need to be the best player yourself. As long as your team reaches the kill limit first, you have a win. After 50 wins, this trophy will pop.

Plays Well With OthersBronze Trophy
Win 50 Objective Games

Go to 'Matchmaking' and set playlist to either 'Plunder' or 'Objectives'. You may also choose 'Ranked' or 'All Competitive modes' as a playlist, but you might end up playing non objective games if you do so. When you reach 50 wins in objective games, this trophy will unlock.

Still AliveBronze Trophy
Win 50 Elimination Games

Go to 'Matchmaking' and set playlist to 'Elimination' and then hit 'Find Match'. The 'Ranked' and 'All Competitive Modes' playlists also includes 'Elimination'.

Elimination is a game mode that is divided up into best of 5 rounds. You only have one life each round and the team scores a point when they eliminate everyone on the opposing team. Each round lasts 3 minutes. If both teams have at least one player alive after 3 minutes, no team gets a point. After you win 50 Elimination games, this trophy will pop.

Plundered!Bronze Trophy
Get 200 Captured Medals

To get a Captured medal, you have to play Plunder and your team has to score the treasure. There is a potential of 5 Captured medals in each game. It doesn't matter if you or anyone of your teammates collects the treasure. This means you should focus on protecting the treasure carrier if you don't carry it yourself. You need 200 of these medals to unlock this trophy.

Master Fortune HunterSilver Trophy
Find all 100 treasures
To get this trophy, you must find 100 treasures in this game. There are a total of 101 treasures in the game including the Strange Relic. This means you could skip one treasure. Check out the Treasure Locations thread for videos on how to find all 101 treasures.

Treasurelocations videos
SurvivorSilver Trophy
Defeat 75 enemies in a row without dying

This trophy is a lot easier than it might sound like. I got this playing on Normal difficulty. To stay alive, it's important that you use cover a lot by pressing the circle button. Also, be careful on any platforming sequences. Sometimes it's easy to die if you move too fast without thinking. I suggest you try to get this during your Hard playthrough. If you have any trouble with this, you may play on Very Easy. A good chapter to start on if you're doing it between playthroughs is Chapter 3 - Borneo. You will then probably get this during Chapter 5 (thanks for confirming FiftyQuid).

250 HeadshotsSilver Trophy
Defeat 250 enemies with headshots

This is a cumulative trophy, and you can work towards it over several playthroughs as long as you choose "Yes" when asked to keep bonus Treasures and Medals upon starting a new game. You will probably get this trophy during your second playthrough. On a general note, you should always try to go for headshots, as it will save ammo. To make it easier to hit enemies in the head, aim by pushing the L1 button and then push the R3 button to zoom in. To see how many headshot kills in the game, check the Stats menu where it says "Total headshots".

Bare-knuckle SluggerSilver Trophy
Defeat 50 enemies with hand-to-hand combat
As the trophy says, you have to kill 50 enemies with hand-to-hand combat. You hit enemies with your fists by pressing the square button. If they try to hit you, quickly press the triangle button and then hit them again. Sometimes you will get one hit kills. They should also count towards this trophy.

You should as often as possible try to take out as many enemies with hand-to-hand combat before they spot you. This will help you save ammo and make each area easier. With this philosophy, you should get this easily during your first playthrough or at least during your second.
Bare-knuckle ExpertSilver Trophy
Defeat ten enemies in a row with hand-to-hand combat

To punch someone, press the square button when close to an enemy. To get this trophy, you have to kill 10 enemies in a row by only using hand-to-hand combat. This isn't that hard, however, the easiest way to get this is in chapter 4 after the grenade tutorial. This means you have to kill the first set of enemies any way you want, then trigger a cutscene. Play on very easy if you struggle with it. Below is a video showing exactly what to do.

 

 

Master NinjaSilver Trophy
Defeat 50 enemies with stealth attacks

To kill an enemy with a stealth attack, you have to kill them with one punch by pushing the square button without them seeing you. Chapter 2 is a great place to do this, as you're forced to do stealth kills. When you get to the big room with a lot of enemies, just kill most of the enemies in that room and then die on purpose or select Restart checkpoint from the pause menu.

Steel Fist ExpertSilver Trophy
Defeat ten enemies in a row with a single punch, after softening them up with gunfire

To get a Steel Fist kill you have to first injure an enemy with enough gunfire (without aiming with L1), and then hit them once by pressing the square button. To get this trophy you need to do that ten times in a row. This means if you kill someone with just gunfire, you have to start over. A great place to do this is in Chapter 4 on Very Easy difficulty. You first have to kill the first set of enemies and then trigger a cutscene. Right after the cutscene, you will be shown how to use grenades in the game, and during this tutorial, you will kill an enemy with the grenade. Right after you do that, you can go for this trophy.

Like the video will show you, one shot with the .45 Defender (without aiming with L1) followed by a punch (square button) on very easy is enough. The advantage with doing this on very easy is that you can take a lot of gunfire without dying. Be selective with your enemies and be sure to avoid enemies that are close together. Just ignore them and keep moving around until you find an enemy by himself. Then just shoot without aiming and punch him with the square button. Then continue to move around and do this with 9 more enemies. If you do a mistake and kill an enemy in another way, just hit start and choose Restart Checkpoint. If you can't avoid people close together, pay attention to which person you shoot. You will see small drops of blood spraying out of the enemy you shoot. Look at the video below for a demonstration.

 

 

Charted! - EasySilver Trophy
Finish the game in Easy Mode

See "Charted! - Hard"

Cold BloodedSilver Trophy
Get 2500 Kills in Deathmatch or Elimination games

As the trophy says, get 2,500 kills in Deathmatch or Elimination. Just remember that it's only kills in 'Deathmatch' and 'Elimination' modes that counts towards this trophy. If you have played this game online before, it's also worth mentioning that the kill count only starts when you buy the Drake's Fortune Multiplayer pack. You can track your progress towards this trophy and all other online trophies in the 'Trophies' menu found on the 'Multiplayer' menu.

Charted! - NormalGold Trophy
Finish the game in Normal Mode

See "Charted! - Hard"

Charted! - HardGold Trophy
Finish the game in Hard Mode

You have to complete the game on hard difficulty to unlock crushing. If you beat the game on hard first, you will also get the trophies for Easy Mode and Normal Mode. See "Charted! - Crushing" for tips.

Charted! - CrushingGold Trophy
Finish the game in Crushing Mode

Before starting on Crushing difficulty, you have to complete the game on Hard.

Some general tips:
1. Use cover a lot (that is the most important thing you have to do)
2. Try to do as many stealth kills as possible, when possible. This will not only make the rest of the gunfight easier, but might give you more ammo drops, such as grenades as well as using less ammo.
3. Go for headshots as it saves ammo.
4. While you're in cover, enemies might try to flank you. If they are close, just shoot using the R1 button without aiming.
5. On crushing, the enemies will toss more grenades at you while your in cover. Always scout out an alternative cover position so that when a grenade lands just in front of you, exit cover and run to another spot where you can use cover.
