Overview:

Estimated trophy difficulty: 6.2

Offline: 12

Online: 0

Approximate time to 100%: 2-5 hours

Minimum playthroughs: 2

Missable trophies: 0

Glitched trophies: 0

Do cheats disable trophies?: No Cheats

Does difficulty affect trophies?: No difficulties to choose from

Trophy breakdown: 5(B) | 7(S)

 

Roadmap:

Not really needed, the game mostly speaks for itself.

You need 2 playthroughs to 100% this, 1 for solving the entire game which unlocks the speedrun mode.

This game is very fun to play without a guide, so I strongly advice you to try that first ;)

For the Speedrun trophy, take your time learning how to solve the puzzles and find your quickest way.

Yoshi_Girl spotted a problem with this video at 1:50 where the lower right platform doesn't stay put and goes back again.

Looks like it's patched because I did solve it the way the video shows.

But found a solution:

Go to the lever right and press :circle: so the two platforms will move and touch eachother.

Now jump onto them and go the platform with the ladder on it.

Press :triangle: and go back to the lever and press :circle: again.

Wait till they both are back at their original position and press :circle: again.

This way the top platform goes really slow which gives the lower platform time to go underneath it.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/279/11.jpgSolved Game Solved the entire game (S)

When you put together all the puzzles an area on top the World Select Menu opens up.

Go there and complete the Final Level, no puzzles here, if you listen to the music you notice you have to rewind the levels for them to work ;)

Then there's only one part left, here you just have to go through it as quick as possible.

When you've reached the Princess rewind all the way back to get to the starting point where the door now is open for you to go through.

 

Check the video below if you can't figure it out:

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/279/12.jpgFull Speed Run Did some kind of speed run through the game. (S)

This is by far the most difficult trophy in the game.

You have to solve the entire game in under 45 minutes, this includes the final level and also the 'Epilogue' after rescuing the Princess.

Just keep going as fast as you can and don't stop running until the Timer Screen comes up ;)

 

Yes, you have to collect all puzzle pieces AND put them together (when putting them together the timer will pause).

 

You can use the videos above to know how to solve everything,

or use these speedrun videos by dphanna:

first speed run wasn't good, second one I hit 45 right near the end of the level with the princess (Braid level) and I still had to make my way through the epilogue. Man, some parts of that speed run have to be perfect in case you un into a slight bit of trouble later on.

 

daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

man world 4 is tough, it seems important to kill 2 and 3 just to build some time up in case of emergencies...but I always hit a snag in 4 or 5, I feel like one little thing goes wrong then I mess up trying to rewind time and I get stuck in this loop hah it's crazy

 

the game itself is something special, one of the most fascinating games I've played

It seems that the full speed run trophy is glitched. I already did the speed run twice, both of which where under 45 minutes, and i am currently 2nd on the leader board. I also did the speed run for all of the other ones, and i still have not gotten the trophy.

yeah saw something like this somewhere, it got a response from j blow himself who said something along the lines of it being known and when fixed you should get the trophy eventually..assume that to mean after the patch/a patch - so seeing as you are being documented for doing it, it should show up when rectified.

 

in other news lol; i keep messing up the speed run, i'm kicking myself for foolish and simple errors...will be cruising along and I just get caught up in some bull shit LOL

i recommend you do the speed runs for the single levels, and try to beat the time for those, as those levels are some of the most difficult ones to do. If you can do those repeatedly when it comes to do the full speed run, it can save you a couple of minutes which can make all the difference.

wow the time challenge is ridicously hard. i thought 45 minutes sounded like a really long time. even with a guide it leaves almost no room for error. wtf. it sucks to waste 40 minutes or so onlt to realize you have fallen to far behind to make it up. maddening. :mad:

Heya, I need some advice please. On the World 6 - Part 2 video @ 1:50 I am completely unable to get this to work with the lever. The video shows the guy activating the lever to cause the upper and lower right platforms to move down and left respectively but he activates the lever again causing the verticle platform to rise again but the horizontal platform stays put (which is necessary for the other puzzle piece). On my screen the horizontal platform starts to go back to the left. I can't get this to work! HALP!

 

EDIT: Yeah, I've tried to reverse the lever right as the 2 platforms tough dozens and dozens of times but the horizontal platform wont stay put, it keeps going back to the right. Is this a glitch or is there a certain technique needed here?

Hmm.. I tried it just now and it indeed doesn't stay there..

Maybe this is patched since I did it also the way the vid shows.

 

But there's another way to get the lower right platform to go all the way to the left.

 

Go to the lever right and press :circle: so the two platforms will move and touch eachother.

Now jump onto them and go the platform with the ladder on it.

Press :triangle: and go back to the lever and press :circle: again.

Wait till they both are back at their original position and press :circle: again.

This way the top platform goes really slow which gives the lower platform time to go underneath it.

 

I hope this is what you needed to know :)

Thanks for responding. Yeah, the method you just mentioned is pretty much the method I used in the new video I referenced to get passed that part. I was getting frustrated and wasn't sure what to do. All I lack now is the Speed Run trophy which I'll mess with tomorrow or something.

 

Thanks again!^^

Hey magmar, I think these videos are more helpful for the speed run trophy.
