    How to unlock Greed over Need

    Treasure goblins are these small creatures that will glow when you see them. Once you engage it, it will try to escape and they will leave a trail of gold behind. If you stop attacking the treasure goblin before it dies, it will try to cast a portal and if you are too slow to stop it or if you don’t have enough damage to kill it, then it will escape and be gone. Treasure goblins will spawn randomly on the maps and is mostly found in dungeons, however there is a great way to get this trophy done and I will explain this below.

    There is a legendary ring called “Puzzle Ring”. This ring will have a chance to spawn a treasure goblin each time your character takes damage. You can only have one ring equipped, but if you are more players, then everyone can have one ring equipped. This will increase your odds of getting this trophy done significantly. If you haven’t found your own puzzle ring, try head over to the trading thread to see if you can get a hold of one.

  • I got the challenge in game but not the playstation trophy... Any clue how I can make it ? That's my only trophy left for platinum ! :P
  • @1 I've had a lot of trophies glitch on me and not pop right away. But theres usually always away to make them pop. You might try entering safe mode and using option #4 "rebuild database" once that's complete and your back on your PS3's XMB delete the game data utility (not save data utility) then download / install the game again. Be sure that you download the dlc pack from the pre-order if you have it, as you wont be able to load your file if you don't. A msg will tell you that you don't own the right's to the additional content. But not to worry if you forget just simply enter account management and download it.
  • As far as the trophy I just used the puzzle ring that I earned at or around lvl 50 to increase my odds of treasure goblins appearing. Not sure if the odds are increased playing online, I got most of the trophies playing offline.
  • The puzzle ring doesn't help with this trophy - the treasure goblin it can spawn functions as a pet, picking up items for you. It cannot be targeted or damaged, so you can’t kill it to achieve this trophy.
  • The puzzle ring has changed several times over the years and probably isn't a reliable strategy for this trophy. I can't say for sure as it never dropped for me, but depending on the patch, it no longer spawns enemy goblins. What worked for me was going to Highland Crossing and moving up through Southern Highlands into Northern Highlands, clearing the entire map and doing the dungeons (Cave of the Moon Clan, Watch Tower, etc) along the way. Averaged 2-4 goblins per run, sometimes more.
