Stovek Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I can't help but think I'm doing something wrong. Out of the groups of enemies that are always in 4, the little guy is the only one I can seem to grab after being stunned by caltrops that doesn't counter the grab. I'm assuming I have to grab the scaffold with the hook, though, since I've grabbed and thrown well over 5 enemies into scaffolds. However, I've seen the contextual command when I'm in high profile to drop the scaffold, but most of the time Ezio just does the grab animation to the air I have been able to pull it off in practice after much trying (when no enemies were around), but I wasn't doing anything different that I could tell. It seems my luck is worse when enemies are actually in front of the scaffold, and I end up doing the hook-and-run. Is there some specific location I have to be to drop a scaffold? Should grabbing the guards and tossing them into the scaffolds work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovek Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Aaaaand of course I grasp the concept right after posting. Your meant to run by the front of them and pull them down. I had been trying to set the caltrops, wait, and pull down from the side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shindol Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) How close do you try to get the guards to the scaffolding? All I can suggest to you is to leave a gap between the scaffold and the guards for you to run through so there's less chance of grabbing a guard. Also don't worry if this only kills one or two. Go to a shop nearby, let it auto save, quit game, load game and it should load you in the same area with the guards back in place. Just repeat.

oddodd1331 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Don't worry, it's not that difficult. The trophy wants you to kill the guards with the scafold when they're stunned by the caltrops. So... 1. Find a scaffold. 2. Run around the area. Punch a couple guards and lure as many as you can to the scaffold 3. once under the scafold, throw a caltrop bomb at the closest one (remember to equip the one with the biggest radius and the shell that explodes on impact) 4. once they're stunned, either throw another one to buy time, or charge towards the scaffold legs and push o. Additional: You don't have to do this all at once. But remember, they half to be stunned by the caltrop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Fly Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 So it's my turn to have a hard time with this trophy. I've been trying for more than half an hour to get it without any success. I killed several of them. I tried to grab the scaffold with the hook or throw one of them into it when they were stunned by caltrops but nothing, no trophy. Maybe I'm not fast enough to make the scaffold falling so they aren't stunned enough anymore ? I don't know but it's annoying. Been watching some videos on YouTube and looked at the description in the sticky guide but I don't know what I'm doing wrong honestly. Oh well I keep trying...

SaberBlade Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 You are supposed to stand close to the scaffold so the circle command will change to collapse. It's more of a pain in the ass than anything else as you'll try to collapse but will swipe instead, or you'll try to collapse but the command doesn't appear so you need to waste even more bombs.

Alex Fly Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks for your reply. Guess what ? Just did it two times and I got my trophy, yeah ! I think I wasn't fast enough between the moment they are stunned to the moment I made the scaffold falling. And yes, like you said sometimes the command appear so I had to threw another bomb before retrying otherwise it wouldn't have been counted for the trophy. Keeping a short distance between the guards and the scaffold helped me too. Otherwise Ezio tends to grab a guard (never the only one you can grab) who avoids him.

CaptainNick Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I used cherry bombs to lure them next to the scaffold and then bombed them with caltrops, helped a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesthegr8 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) This trophy is annoying me too, I think I'll just try again tomorrow. Edit: Got it pretty easily after realizing that jogging/running past it and quickly pulling it down was the easiest.

Fractal Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I'm surprised people are struggling with this one. Found it pretty easy. The annoying one is looting 50 guards with thieves. Those pricks are useless and I had to keep calling in assassins. Then again, it was the Ottoman guards >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma11hew Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 for the mouse trap trophy i got the enemy beside the scaffold, bombed them waited untill it wore off, bombed again then pulled scaffold and i got it in 2 goes so i thinks its kill with scaffold after they suffer effects from caltrops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're thieves, not fighters so you can't expect them to kill the guards. You just have to kill all the guards yourself and have the thieves loot the corpses. The only thing I found annoying is how they can stand there drooling for a few seconds before they actually loot the corpses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elo1972 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 So you don't have to kill them in 1 try? I can do it in 2 or more attempts. Pls confirm if so. As this one bothering me as well......thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As this one bothering me as well......thx Definitely confirmed. You can keep track of how many you killed this way in the Challenges menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitez Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The easiest way to get this trophy: Lure a group of 4 patrolling guards to a scaffold using cherry bomb; throw a Caltrop bomb (with impact shell and the largest explosion radius for gunpowder); run past the scaffold and press/hold . Just repeat this step for another guard and you're sure to get the trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChichitoMontanaro Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Just got the trophy... Two good points to remember when trying to achieve this: 1- You don't need to Kill all 5 guards at once, u can do it with different scaffolds 2- For the trophy to pop, guards MUST be stuned by the caltrop bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
