Introduction

 

Players familiar with the Asphalt series will find this very similar to Asphalt 6 but with the addition of a few new modes and cars. The game might not be particularly well polished and you are unlikely to complete the Career Mode in one sitting mainly due to the inconsistency of invisible walls and the knockdown cam. Overall it's an okay game, however it does slightly feel like a port and certain tracks are likely to get on your nerves - in cases like these, you should just keep at it or come back later once you've gotten a better car.

 

Step 1 - Career Mode and Offline Trophies

 

First stop, the Career Mode. You will need to complete all of the 100 races for the Accomplished trophy which will roughly take between 6 to 10 hours as tracks average out at around five minutes each. The game does not require you to 5-star all of the tracks, however the Perfectionist trophy will require you to finish at least one league with a 5-star rating on each track, which I suggest getting out of the way within the first league.

 

None of the races/tracks are overly difficult as long as you remember to drift around those corners and take down opponents for Nitro boosts. Be sure to always buy the car available and install all of the necessary upgrades. Once you start, you will likely get two trophies rather quickly, these being First First! for finishing in pole position for the first time, and Three in a Row! for winning three races in a row.

 

Other easy trophies to look out for are Safety First, Survivor, Air Time, Blowout, Show-off and Persistent, which you should obtain along the way by completing 50 races. For further details on any of these specific trophies, please refer to their respective descriptions in the trophy guide below.

 

After this step you should have obtained the following trophies:

 

(B) First First!

(B) Three in a Row!

(B) Persistent

(B) Lickety Split

(B) Collection Master

(B) Brute

(B) 1, 2, 3

(B) Harasser

(B) Drifter

(B) Drift to the beat

(B) Bouncing Bucket

(B) Safety First

(B) Spotless

(B) Get Away From Me!

(B) Survivor

(B) Air Time

(B) Blowout

(B) Show-off

(B) Too Good

(S) Perfectionist

(S) Velocius

(S) CARnage!

(S) Berserk

(S) Tire-Greater

(S) Catapulting Clunker

(G) Around the World

(G) Shakedown

(G) Drift Warrior

(G) Accomplished

 

 

Step 2 - Online

 

There are a total of four multiplayer trophies to collect. Winning 100 races without boosting would probably take you about 20 to 40 hours due to the amount of people online being rather scarce at times as well as their disconnection frequency. Choose the best car available (the Bugatti Veyron Supersport) and try your best. Use Nitro at the start and don't let people get past you if you can. However, if you are finding it difficult to win, then you can consult the Boosting Thread. For more information, please refer to the Legend trophy description in the trophy guide.

 

Along the way to the 100 wins, it is likely that you will obtain the Contender trophy for winning 10 online races, and Veteran for simply completing 100 online races. Photo Finish could be a little tricky as it requires you to finish in first place with less than one second ahead of second place. It might come naturally as you work towards the other trophies, but if it doesn't, try braking before the finish line and using Nitro when your opponent is close.

 

You can find the trophy boosting thread here should you need it: Trophy Boosting Thread (Read First Post!) - PlaystationTrophies.org

 

After this step, you should have obtained all of the remaining trophies:

 

(S) Contender

(S) Veteran

(S) Photo Finish

(G) Legend

(P) Asphalt Domination

 

Step 3 - Clean Up (Optional):

 

If you followed the Road Map exactly, then you should have obtained all of the trophies. However, if you missed a few, then now is the time to go for them. Please refer to the descriptions for the individual trophies for more information.

TROPHY GUIDE

 

01.jpg  Asphalt Domination (P)

Collect all Asphalt trophies

 

Congratulations on your Platinum!

 

 

Career and Offline Trophies

 

 

02.jpg  First First! (B)

Finish in 1st place!

 

Easy trophy and likely to be your first one. As the trophy states, you simply need to win any race. I got this on Los Angeles, Normal Race in "League Qualifiers."

 

 

03.jpg  Three in a Row! (B)

Finish in 1st place 3 times in a row!

 

Just win three events in a row, (a 5-star rating is not required for this trophy.) I got this in the first league, "League Qualifiers." Just finish the race in first place on Los Angeles (Normal Race,) Cape Town (Elimination) and Chamonix (Normal Race) and the trophy will be yours!

 

 

07.jpg  Persistent (B)

Complete 50 races

 

Self-explanatory, all you need to do is race 50 times and the trophy is yours. Will come naturally over time and you should not concern yourself about it.

 

 

09.jpg  Perfectionist (S)

Obtain the maximum amount of stars for all events in a league

 

This is actually a rather easy trophy, and all you need to do is achieve a 5-star rating in only one of the 20 leagues available. I suggest going for the first league, "League Qualifiers" as soon as you start the game so you can get it out of the way. In order to achieve a 5-star rating on the tracks within the "League Qualifiers" event, you need to meet the following criteria in these game modes:

 

  • Normal Race - Finish in first place.
  • Elimination - Finish in first place.
  • Cop Chase - Crash less than a specified number of times.
  • Beat 'em All - Obtain a set number of knockdowns.

You will also need to complete the two secondary objectives for each track.

 

Secondary objectives are shown during the loading screen under "Extra Bonus," but if you happen to miss them, you can always pause the game using the start button and look under "Objectives" to see them. The requirements for the secondary objectives most often consist of "Get X amount of drift points" and "Get X amount of takedowns." Don't worry if you don't get a 5-star rating on first try, as you can always retry later on and they are not too difficult.

 

 

10.jpg  Accomplished (G)

Finish every race in Career Mode

 

As the trophy states, you need to finish every single one of the 100 races in Career Mode with a minimum of a 1-star rating, which is considered a pass. There are 20 leagues and each league consists of 5 events.

 

In order to obtain at least a 1-star rating in an event, you must reach the following criteria:

 

  • Normal Race - Finish in third place or higher.
  • Elimination - You need to stay in a high position to avoid being knocked out of the race.
  • Cop Chase - Do not crash more than a set amount of times and finish the race. Simply finishing counts as a pass.
  • Beat em' All - Perform a specific number of takedowns within a given time period.
  • Under Pressure - Finish the race without crashing more than the specified amount of times.
  • Urban Havoc - Crash into various objects on the sidewalks such as street lamps or benches (traffic in the road also counts.) Getting the minimum required (is shown on the top-right corner) will net you a "pass."

No track should prove too difficult, just frustrating for some of them. Persistence is key here - if you happen to be stuck on a track, then proceed further and come back later with a better car. This helped me a few times. This trophy will most likely be your last before moving onto the Online portion of the game.

 

 

11.jpg  Lickety Split (B)

Collect 25 Nitro power-ups in a single race

 

See "Velocius."

 

 

12.jpg  Velocius (S)

Collect 35 Nitro power-ups in a single race

 

Nitro power-ups are the blue and orange bubbles that come in rows of three (two blue and one orange) and you should have no problems spotting any of them. Bigger tracks such as Reykjavik have 12 Nitro power-ups per lap. Once you reach the three lap races in your Career Mode playthrough, aim to collect every single power up and the trophy should be yours.

 

Tip: Don't use shortcuts as these tend to lack the Nitro power-ups more often than not, or only have one orange power-up.

 

 

13.jpg  Collection Master (B)

Collect more than half of the purple cash items in a Collector race

 

Quite self-explanatory - all you need to do is enter a Collector race and collect more than half of the big purple circles with a $ symbol in them located in the middle of the track. These items also determine your star rating for the Collector event and you can see the amount you've collected in the top-right corner. You should obtain the trophy once the race is finished.

 

 

14.jpg  Brute (B)

Knock down 10 opponents in a race

 

See "CARnage!"

 

 

15.jpg  CARnage! (S)

Knock down 15 opponents in a race

 

The title is self-explanatory - all you need to do is take down 15 opponents in a single race by shunting, rubbing or slamming them. I got this one naturally during my Career Mode playthrough. The easiest way to knock down an opponent is to either "touch" them whilst the Level 3 Nitro is active (pressing the Nitro button three times,) or during the Adrenaline Mode.

 

 

16.jpg  1, 2, 3 (B)

Perform 3 knockdowns in 10 seconds

 

See "Berserk"

 

 

17.jpg  Berserk (S)

Perform 5 knockdowns in 20 seconds

 

This trophy is rather luck based mainly due to the knockdown cam. Once you knock down an opponent, your car goes into "autopilot" which usually tries to avoid other cars regardless of whether you're in Adrenaline Mode. This can result in your car gaining a few extra positions after the knockdown rather than attacking a group of other opponents.

 

I got this during the "Under Pressure" event in League 19, but you can attempt and achieve it much earlier than this. Under Pressure is your best bet in my opinion due to the fact that there is an infinite amount of opponents and they spawn rather quickly and often, plus they try to take you down which lets you attempt knockdowns more often.

 

My strategy would be either not to use Adrenaline for knockdowns and use the Level 3 Nitro instead, or if you are using Adrenaline, just push the brakes once after each knockdown to come out of the mode and re-enter Level 3 Nitro. By using this method, 20 seconds should be more than enough as long as its an "Under Pressure" event.

 

 

18.jpg  Harasser (B)

Perform at least 3 knockdowns on the same opponent

 

This trophy should not prove to be too difficult and should come naturally as you play through the Career Mode. However, if you need to specifically aim for this trophy, then I would suggest taking down an opponent, braking, waiting for him to pass you and then taking him down twice more.

19.jpg  Shakedown (G)

Knock down each opponent at least once in a single race

 

As the trophy description states, you need to knock down each opponent at least once. I got this on my way to completing the Career Mode but if you are trying to get it out of the way, I would suggest the earlier tracks whilst memorising which opponent you have knocked down already.

 

 

20.jpg  Drift Warrior (G)

Knock down an opponent while drifting

 

This trophy can be slightly luck based as the knockdown system is not always very accurate in this game. I would suggest a long corner on Reykjavik or Los Angeles. Grind at your opponent of choice whilst drifting, and if you happen to take him down, then the trophy is yours. In order to drift, press the left trigger, keep on accelerating and whilst doing so, try to push your opponent against a wall.

 

 

21.jpg  Drifter (B)

Earn over 2000 drift points in a single race

 

See "Tire-Greater"

 

 

22.jpg Tire-Greater (S)

Earn over 3000 drift points in a single race

 

This trophy might come naturally by simply playing the game, however if you wish to get it out of the way quickly, just enter a Drift or Under Pressure event and continue on drifting. Reykjavik is a good track for this as it is quite long with many curves and few straights, which is perfect for racking up those drift points.

 

Please note, that it is not the Drift $ that counts towards this trophy, but the actual distance travelled during the drift, as shown at the end of the track on the results screen.

 

 

23.jpg  Around the world (G)

Earn over 1000 drift points in a single drift

 

This trophy can be obtained in pretty much any event. Just find a big corner, (i.e. Reykjavik,) and try to maintain your drift chain. The turn after the massive jump towards the end of the track is a good place to try for this. Another good corner is the one locate just before the factory, near the beginning of the track.

 

 

24.jpg  Drift to the beat (B)

Earn over 500 drift points in a Beat 'em All race

 

This is a very easy trophy to achieve. The principle of drifting is to press the right trigger and keep on accelerating whilst turning. It is actually harder to brake in this game than it is to drift, so this shouldn't give you any problems.

 

 

25.jpg  Bouncing Bucket (B)

Jump 1000m in a single race

 

See "Catapulting Clunker"

 

 

26.jpg  Catapulting Clunker (S)

Jump 1500m in a single race

 

This trophy is unlikely to come until you unlock one of the faster cars. I suggest trying for this trophy on the Los Angeles track and using Nitro before every big jump. Please refer to the video below for more information:

 

 

 

27.jpg  Safety First (B)

Complete a normal Race without crashing once

 

Another easy trophy which you should attempt at the beginning of the Career Mode. You might as well get it out of the way during the "League Qualifiers" Normal Race event in Los Angeles, which is the first race. Just try not to drift too recklessly into corners at high speeds and you should be fine.

 

 

28.jpg  Spotless (B)

Complete a Normal Race without touching a wall

 

One of the trophies that can be slightly frustrating, but as long as you drive carefully, you should be fine. Touching an opponent does not void the trophy, as it is only the walls that you can't touch during the whole race. I'd suggest the earlier levels of the Career Mode for this, as the races there consist of only two laps. I recommend the "Rookie League," Nassau, Normal Race event.

 

 

29.jpg  Get Away From Me! (B)

Complete a Normal Race without touching an opponent

 

One of the more frustrating trophies. My strategy was to try to get in front as soon as possible and not allow the opponents to catch up, thus preventing them from coming into contact with me. Please note that touching the walls will not void this trophy. I recommend the "Rookie League," Nassau, Normal Race event for this trophy as well.

 

30.jpg  Survivor (B)

Win an Under Pressure race without crashing once

 

As stated before, the earlier levels of the Career Mode are your best bet for this. Only Under Pressure events will count - other events will not net you this trophy. I'd recommend the "Gold League" Under Pressure event in Moscow, as you can race through the track rather quickly and the opponents should not have many chances to knock you down.

 

 

31.jpg  Air Time (B)

Hit at least 1 jump in each lap in a single race

 

All you need to do is to hit one jump per lap, which will be counted when the words 'Air Time!' appear on the screen. Los Angeles in "League Qualifiers" is a particularly good track for this. See "Catapulting Clunker" if you're unsure of the jump locations, as I have posted a video which shows a lot of the jumps being performed.

 

 

32.jpg  Blowout (B)

Finish each lap in first place in a single race

 

The description is self-explanatory, and this trophy should come naturally as you play through the game. After each lap, you should receive a Nitro Boost as well as a notification at the top of the screen entitled "Lap Leader!" if you are in first place. You should perform knockdowns on opponents whenever you have the chance in order to obtain extra Nitro Boost and just use your Nitro whenever Adrenaline is available. If you do this, then the trophy should pose no problems.

 

 

33.jpg  Show-off (B)

Cross the finish line while drifting

 

Extremely easy to achieve, all you need to do is press the left trigger to initiate a drift just before you cross the finish line.

 

 

34.jpg  Too Good (B)

Win a race without using nitro

 

I unlocked this during a drift event, so you don't need to try for it in a traditional race as the description appears to suggest. Just refrain from using Nitro and the trophy will be yours at the end of the event.

 

 

Online Trophies

 

04.jpg  Contender (S)

Win 10 multiplayer races

 

See "Legend"

 

 

08.jpg  Veteran (S)

Complete 100 multiplayer races

 

See "Legend"

 

 

05.jpg  Legend (G)

Win 100 multiplayer races

 

This trophy will likely take the most time to achieve as well as being your last one. I suggest playing on the Nassau or Moscow tracks and choosing the best car that you have. I averaged those tracks at around 2:15 and 2:07 per run respectively, so these would be your best choice if you wish to finish a race slightly quicker, but it's your choice and you can play any track that you wish.

 

If you seem to be having a hard time winning races, remember to always press the acceleration button just before the "Go!" which will grant you an extra boost bar, allowing you to start off with a 3x Nitro Boost. You should always be starting off with Nitro if you can.

 

If you are still having difficulty with this, then I suggest finding a boosting partner. The amount of people online is rather scarce and opponents have a tendency to disconnect if they're losing which will not award you with a win.

 

The boosting thread can be found here: http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/asphalt-injection/145995-trophy-boosting-thread-read-first-post.html

 

Tip: Both boosting partners do NOT need to finish the race. After the first player wins the race, he/she can safely exit to the lobby and the game will count it as both a win and completion for them.

 

06.jpg  Photo Finish (S)

Finish 1st in a MP race less than 1s ahead of the 2nd-place finisher

 

This trophy is actually easier than it sounds, but it requires a bit of luck. It might come naturally whilst playing online so I wouldn't suggest specifically going for it until you have completed a minimum of around 50 races. I personally got it whilst boosting and this is how I did it:

 

Just before the end of Lap 3, I would stop just at the finish line and wait for my opponent to approach. As soon as the opponent was close enough, I would triple-tap the Nitrous button and finish just in front of him. I had finished 1.001 second before my opponent on one attempt and had not gotten the trophy, however on my next try, I finished just 0.004 seconds in front of him and the trophy unlocked. Just be persistent!

Why do you recommend always buying the car that's available right away? I've got like 600k or something so far and I'm only done the first 10 races (although I did the first 5 over again to get 5 stars on em). I've only bought 1 car, a 50k audi, and it's working alright for me, I don't see why I would spend more for less. I want to make sure I can buy a lambo or ferrari when I unlock em. I'm even upgrading my vehicle as they become available but a lot of the vehicles I could be buying are worse than my current vehicle...

 

There's no trophy or anything for all the vehicles is there?

 

 

Oh a quick question. What speed do you need to be travelling at in order to be able to hit traffic and take em down (without using adrenaline)?

 

Annnnnnd, Around the World is a gold trophy not bronze (the one for a 1k drift). Same with Drift Warrior and Shakedown, they're golds not bronzes.

Yup, there is not trophy for all the vehicles. I still managed to have 44/45 by the time I finished career, the only one I've missed out was the $2.8m lambo from earlier tiers. Got it after beating online because you get cash for playing online as well. I recommend buying the best car available because, well, the newer the car - the better. It might seem otherwise but if you upgrade it you will see the difference. It's up to you tho, even latter events can be beaten with older cars but to make your life easier and more enjoyable - just buy the best you can and upgrade it.

 

In order to achieve a knockdown on the traffic you should be travelling at about at least 150-200km/h. Same applies for opponents with a bit grinding against them. Adrenaline or the 3x nitro is your best friend tho:)

 

Double-checked the trophies and made amendments, thanks.

 

Good job!

 

The game is pretty self-explanatory. Some of the events may require certain vehicles. Staying on top line always help.

Thanks:) To be honest, no events should really require specific vehicles as vehicle after vehicle only gets better most of the time.

How do you drift correctly?? I can't get it right.

 

 

I had this problem, internet was no help. Go do like LA track and pratice a few. This is my tips. Start your drift by hitting Bumper and left or right once. EI, your going left, hit bumper and left at same time to start the drift. Now, do NOT keep holding a direction at ALL. Just let yourself drift a sec. Now if you wanna keep the drift or turn it more.. tap.. just tap left or right to keep the drift going or turn more into the drift... TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP... you will know your doing it right. You can even drift down long straight aways AND avoid cards doing this tap tap tap method.

Thanks for the drifting tips! I could never get any stars on any drift career missions without less than 2k. So thanks for the tips! :applause:

"Too Good" wont come out for me from Drifting even when I got 5 stars after complete.

 

used F40 and take 2 laps in LA and using all 3 shortcuts and both speed boost after few tries finally got me the trophy.

 

Veloclous nitro doesnt need to win the race. Drive slowly and turn around if u miss the nitro pick up and it counts as well.

 

Thanks for the guide.

Here's an easier trick for "Around The World".

 

First select a vehicle with decent speed but not on high levels like the Tesla. Select Moscow as your stage and as the race begins, reverse back by holding the brake button. Turn your vehicle around and head to the Ice Pond. Go down there and drift around in circles while avoiding the bridge pillars and the trophy will appear.

 

Few things to note on this. Use Drift as your race choice. Keep track of the numbers due to the requirements being 1000 points and not the amount of cash.

 

If you do this in a road, the drift count resets should you go into "Crazy Driving", which is why many people have thought it was glitched. In fact don't do this in any road and do it on an area without traffic.

Hello.

I wanto to point out I have unlocked "Three in a Row!" and "Velocius" online, while playing multiplayer matches.

I suspect you can unlock many other trophies online, making them easier with boosting partners.

 

^ This. You can get any trophy that requires being done in a normal race online or ad hoc. Some of the more annoying trophies like getting 35 boosts, not hitting a wall and not hitting other cars can be done that way and it's much much easier. Should be mentioned in the guide!
