Trophy Help Thread *All tricks and tips welcome*

At last I got the Platinum 100% yeah MANY thanks to Darkdrium

For the "Da Bomb" trophy I chose Syncopia though. My advice is to shoot as few mines as possible in the first rounds so that they don't respawn a lot. Then when speed grows you can shoot as you like. Also watch carefuly the Bomb hint under your score as it says when you're approching a bomb (don't rely on the girl who says "Bomb Ahead" because she sometimes forgets lol).

Ahhh! Such an achievement! Congratulations!!!!!!!

(One day I hope to be able to say the same - but I fear it may take many months!!)

Here's a nice tip for anyone looking to get the "Hold your fire" Trophy...

Even though i didn't have much trouble getting it myself.

Play the detonator on Anulpha pass forward, most of the mines can be avoided by riding the ship between the wall and the Border line and when you get to the Straight away - short cut part all the mines seem to spawn dead center so its easy to ride the edge of the platform and whiz by those mines.

here's a nifty diagram: the arrow is you, the "O" is the now harmless mine

Hope it helps someone.

Peace.

Oh, i guess the above only helps if you not allowed to use your EMP while trying to get this trophy.

I wasn't sure so i did it without the EMP.

[okam]

You can use the EMP, I did and I got the trophy (on Corridon 12).

[SabinSlash]

Then i guess the above tip would be for really bad racers... i didn't know you could use EMP...

[sny]

EMP is your enemy when going for 'Hold your Fire'. I've said it before and I'll... uh... link to it again.

Another little tip but sure most people will have got this trophy already

If anyone still needs Airbraker trophy then Syncopia is the place for you. 1st time I tried it on AP I just got to zone 50 before crashing. Think I had about 95% energy left when tried it on Syncopia.

Winner !!

I want to kill that Zico guy... I just got 30.85 in the Fury Piranha!

I've gotten every Fury trophy except Da Bomb and Stats Life. The only 2 hidden trophies I don't have are Bling Brigade and Gemini... but I don't exactly need any help with those. Oh, and I'm on Zone 69 on Moa... AP just won't let me get past 56 (but I did get Own the Zone and Airbraker on AP... oh well)

I just remembered that I need SERIOUS HELP WITH ARCADE PERFECT! The reverse tracks are killing me... so is Chenghou... Is it easier with weapons on or off?

For Just Passing Through, make sure it's Vineta K (Forward) Elite, and always set the target to 55. Only boost once (I don't know if it helps or not, this is what I did) just keep listening for that dumb "barrier" warning to press O. And watch for Triakis, they usually get there first. Remember- you respawn if you blow up, so no worries

Since it's so easy to fill up your EMP bar, just fill it all the way up, use the EMP and it clears a large section of the track for you. Grab all the pads from the cleared area ahead of you, and use the EMP when you start seeing mines again.

That's what I did, and I got the trophy on my first try. No evading of mines necessary, you can just cruise the middle of the track and chillax

Sharpshooter is even easier on Anulpa Pass reverse.
The mines just line up perfectly to be shot at.

[superpj1]

Personaly I found Sharpshooter to be extremely easy on any track. In the beginning I was failing because I tried to shoot as fast as possible, thinking that my gun would auto-reload. But in fact it never does unless it's empty, so just take your time. For example you can shoot every 5 seconds to be sure to hit the target, it works also being hit won't prevent you from getting the trophy !

Got Connected 1 and 2 last night, going for AG Assasin today... just checking, do Eliminator kills count? PSN - cjs2370 -

[okam]

Yes, Eliminator kills count towards AG assassin kills (but ofcourse they must be online, not against the AI).

Elite Campaign Legend!!!

I HATE this one!

Any good tips on how I can get this? Apart from the usual "Keep trying" I really don't think that I'm going to get this... I'm up to cell 7 and the speed and difficulty at which those ships race at is just insane.

Also Zone Zeus and Bling Brigade are the only ones I have left and I can add myself to the Transcendant's List!

But yea if I can't get Elite Campaign Legend then I'm screwed!

[Darkdrium777]

The trick is unfortunately to keep trying and to practise, there's no secret.
The thing to do is go in Speed Lap, do the tracks you have troubles with at the appropriate speed until you're doing near perfect laps (one or two walls hits is ok, and with hits I mean really crashing into it, just scraping doesn't slow you down so much unless you do it a lot and often) without ever releasing the accelerator (there's no need to, ever.)
Go for speed over offense always, do the Barrel rolls, turbo at the appropriate spots (Save your turbo for a whole lap if you have to), use shortcuts if possible.
Check out the HD video thread for some videos of the best players like the fourbe frenchmen xD
For starters you can check out my videos for Chengou Project and Ubermall where I use some good techniques that can help you beat the Elite Ai faster if you're able to do them.

[TALooN]

From the looks of your racing style, you use mostly air brakes am I right?

Looks like I'm going to need to put a lot more practice into each track before I'm going to beat it!

Also do you use D-Pad or Analogue?

[Darkdrium777]

No, I use mostly steering. What you see for the airbrakes is wrong as I have the sensitivity at 10% so they are almost digital-like in responsiveness. Therefore even the lightest/shortest of presses on the button makes them activate at 100%.

You should not change your steering control for something you are uncomfortable with. I use D-Pad + Motion pitch at sensitivity 100%, airbrake sensitivity and thrust sensitivity at 10%. I also switched the airbrakes to L1/R1. The rest is default controls.

Just realized that I only have 4 trophies left: Bling Brigade, Zico, Arcade Perfect and... err... Endurance. How do you keep people's interest in the last one? Everyone always seems to ditch by the 6th race.

it was one of the first ones I got. as long as two of you are still racing, you'll get the trophy.

It's just unlucky if EVERYONE ditches after the sixth race...what were they doing joining a tournament in the first place?
