so i keep hearing people talking about zone zeus and zico being the hardest trophies... i got them quite some time ago but i'm struggling with elite/phantom.. am i the only one finding these (arcade perfect, campaign legend) considerably more difficult than zico and zeus?
Probably you don't know the Arcade Perfect AI glitch (feature?) ;)Quote:

additional info required on this. so, no i dont know but i'M willing to start abusing glitches, i tried on this for too long..
Hold that thought...am I the only one having massive ammounts of difficulties with Elite Campaign Legend??
no ure not. everything went fine till chapter8. in chapter 8 time trials/speed laps were easy. then races started. i've done a good 50 attempts at sol2/chengou (the only ones im still missing) and approx 10 tries at the tournament.. no success so far..
so yeah QjonPL, enlighten me
Plenty have had trouble with it. Zico and Zeus were my last two, but the Elite campaign was still tough. Have you tried Harimau? For some reason a lot of people (well at least a notable few) found that it was easier in Harimau, myself included. I have vivid memories of Chenghou Project taking me a loooong time, until I went with Harimau. It should be even better with Fury Harimau.
i went with the furymau before but i didnt like the 'double jump'. i changed to ag sys now which goes over both ramps in one jump. my results have gotten a lot better ever since :P
You should be able to do clear the second ramp in any ship I think. Just pitch up a little if you need to. I always like to just clip the edge of the second ramp if I can. That way the boost from the barrel roll kicks in earlier and you get more out of it before having to slow for the corner. At least, that's my theory.
ye ive sorta been trying to do that, since my theory was similar, but my pitching skills aren't too great. i'm a d-padder and whenever i change to motion pitch i tend to forget about it and either fly nose-up or nose-down all the time :P
anyhow. any hints on the arcade perfect glitch?
I don't think there is a glitch. I'm assuming that was a joke. I use d-pad too, but for Chenghou I actually think it's better than stick in some places. Some tracks stick definitely has the edge though.
Maybe you should try Time Trial instead for practice, and then blow them away with your speed. At the same time you would improve your TT times. It would be a better way to get the trophy and improve than just doing the same thing over and over. It would also be more rewarding I think, and definitely better than looking for a glitch.
If you improve your racing lines practicing TT, you'll find it even easier to beat the AI without weapons (weapons off = less cheats from the bots ;))
damn it, this sounds like work :P
i already started working my way through speedlaps (all speed classes starting with venom, i am halfway done with rapier now, racing every track forward/backward) to get a better hang of the tracks.
chengou was horrible just a few minutes ago. i managed being first place at the end of lap 4, managed not to **** up some random turn and went all 'haha only thing that could stop me now is a quake' just as the anouncer said 'quake'.. rolled off the track, came in 4th :(
if i still didnt get the trophies once im done with all the speed laps, i'll change to time trials to get some more consistency...
its just weird. i'd basically call myself a trophy whore and i want to transcend so badly that i dont mind not having gotten any trophy for the last at least 100 hours of gaming...
anyhow, more practise tomorrow.. ... . -.-
I was talking about that method:Quote:

Plug in any usb gamepad you have (if you don't have second Sixaxis, of course ;) ), go to Racebox, set 2 players split screen, AI diff. Elite, choose track, start the game and put away Player 1 controller. Start the race playing on the second pad as a second player, EASILY win with the *cough* Elite AI (it's so easy because bots adjust their speed and skill to match P1's racing, but obviously Player 1 is not moving, so they're veeery slow :D ), repeat on all stages ;)
My guide went official on the PS3T site if anyone needs help. Has Fury stuff in it also.

I had trouble getting this trophy, but then I realized I was hitting a lot of mines
in very narrow tracks such as Vineta-K, because you can just shoot randomly
in the turns, and because the track is narrow, there is a higher probability that
your bullets hit the mines (or the bomb) even when you don't see it.
Dude, i just got Pure Four. :D
