Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@johncalmc Well done. Praise the sword

@johncalmc Big swords are the best swords. Black knight sword was my jam for basically the whole trilogy.

honestly you can't beat a big sword. I also used magic for the first time despite having already beaten all three dark souls games previously. it was alright. the sword was better.

In Knights and Bikes, one area is a scrapyard where you can use the magnets to pick things up for puzzles.

You also get a trophy for using one to do this;

@RogerRoger That’s a lot of bottom/poo puns for one comment.

I got the platinum in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.

@johncalmc Jesus that was quick

@KratosMD Agreed, one of my favourite platinums. I dived straight into the second one immediately afterwards but weirdly it didn't click at all

@Gremio108 It took me like 110 hours so it actually took like 30 hours longer than the first one. There was one trophy in particular that was a TOTAL slog and probably accounted for those 30 hours on its own.

@KratosMD Yeah, the Spyro games are all easily platinumable.

The only pain is one from the second or third game where you have to defeat a boss without being hit which was a real pain.

@johncalmc

@Thrillho I'm on Dark Souls 3 now. Gotta have that one polished off so I can maybe fit one more thing in - maybe two! or more! - before Final Fantasy VII Remake hits and then my life is over.

Got the platinum trophy for Parappa the Rapper. Played the remaster when it came out but never did all the Cool trophies. That has now been rectified.

@Churchy Oh man I want to do that one day but I've never ever managed to get Cool on anything other than the first level. Even back on PSone.

@johncalmc Funnily enough I never did either. After all this time I wanted to do it and looked up a guide. What I didn't realise is that you basically need to press buttons on all the beats that aren't covered in the standard prompts. And then when you're in Cool mode, just keep pressing around making sure you hit the natural beats until the end of the song.

@Churchy Oh man I am gonna smash this platinum to bits

@johncalmc Exactly! Once I knew how it actually worked, it made sense. And some YouTube vids can help to get the timing down. In some cases you need to press a button before the line starts as well.

And there's also one trophy for secrets in levels. You basically just play through normally with whilst holding Up on the d-pad. Apart from Stage 4 which has no secrets.

@Kidfried I've had the same experience with Psychonauts as you have so far. Played a quite a few hours of it some time ago, but never went back to it after. I remember it being very fun, though, and I've also thought multiple times about going back. Maybe I'll have to follow in your footsteps some time soon!

@Kidfried Are you hyped for the sequel now? It's gonna be a weird one as I think it will be the first Microsft Games Studio title published on a Sony console.

Horizon Zero Dawn platinum done and dusted. Now the only question is: do I go for the Ultra Hard mode trophy? The two new game+ trophies are the only ones I've not got now

@Gremio108 Well done sir! 👏
