Overview:

  • Estimated trophy difficulty: 3/10 (Platinum Difficulty Rating)
  • Offline trophies: 43 (26 (B), 13 (S), 3 (G), 1 (P))    
  • Online trophies: 0
  • Approximate amount of time to Platinum: 16-20hrs (Estimated Time to Platinum)
  • Minimum number of playthroughs: 2 plus Cleanup
  • Number of missable trophies: 14...Precious, Power of the Cross, Footsteps of a Traitor, Betrayed With a Kiss, Well Done, Judas, Relic Hunter, Light Relics, Dark Relics, The Damned, The Guide, Old Friend, Burning Eyes, Forbidden Love, Like Father Like Son
  • Glitched trophies: 1 - Like Father Like Son
  • Does difficulty affect trophies?: No so play on Classic.
  • Do trophies stack?: No
  • Do cheat codes disable trophies?: No cheats available.

 

Step 1 - First Playthrough

 

This game is pretty easy and won't take you very long to finish off. You can set the game to easy (Classic) and still get all of the trophies. This will also make the Gates of Hell much easier as that mode will be set to easy as well. Most of the missable trophies are collectables. Fortunately, the relics and Beatrice Stones you find carry over to your next playthrough. Unfortunately, the silver coins, shades, and Virgil commentaries do not. Try to get all of the collectables on your first playthrough.

 

Also on your first playthrough, go exclusively on either the holy or unholy path. If you absolve or punish one shade or demon, then do the same until you hit level 7 holy/unholy. You should reach level 7 at some point during Fraud. Levelling up requires that you punish (unholy) or absolve (holy) the shades or certain enemies (minions, demons, and gluttons for example). With each punishment or absolution, you gain experience points that add to your level. To max out the holy path, you will need 89,000 souls and for the unholy path and 86,500 souls. Once you reach level 7, then start gaining experience on the other path if you still have shades or demons left. Advance as far as you can in preparation for your Resurrection mode playthrough.

 

 

Step 2 - The Gates of Hell

 

After you complete your first playthrough, begin Gates of Hell mode. Gates of Hell is Dante's Inferno's version of the God of War challenges, only, much, much easier. There are no specific requirements for each wave, there are just more and more enemies each wave. There are 50 waves in all. The difficulty that you completed the game on is what Gates of Hell will be set to. It takes about 30 minutes to complete if you have it set to easy. If you complete the wave within the time, you'll get a time bonus for the next round. Completing a round without getting hit and absolving/punishing demons will also get you a time bonus. Any holy/unholy abilities that you unlock will not carry over to your next.

 

 

Step 3 - Resurrection Mode

 

Now that everything else is out of the way, it's time to being Resurrection mode. Resurrection mode, is basically New Game+ but you will start out at the Shores of Acheron. You get to keep all of your relics, Beatrice Stones, any holy/unholy upgrades you've purchased, as well as the souls you've collected buy your pieces of silver, shades and Virgil commentaries are reset. Your goal here is to max out whichever path you didn't in your first playthrough. Also, clean up any collectables that you may have missed. The collectables guide here: LINK will lead you to everything you need to find (credit to rrushn for this).

Trophy Guide:

The description for this trophy is very misleading as it implies that you need all the DLC trophies as well when you don't, just get all the trophies in the core game then the (P) will pop.

Sting7785 said:

2/3 - In the very bottom right fountain in the mirror maze in the Gluttony area.

 

3/3 - After the mirror maze area, you'll climb down a wall with several fire spouts.

After you get to the bottom, you'll be in an area with mana and health fountains.

Jump up to the alcove to the right. Then jump left across the gap.

You'll see an item fountain behind you and one further ahead.

You have to jump kind of around the wall to get to the one further along, which has the stone in it.

 

Credits go to Sting7785 from x360a.org

 

There are more than just three Beatrice Stones. There are a few backups available. This also carries over between playthroughs. If you only get two of them in your first attempt, when you start your second, they'll all be replaced, but you'll keep the ones you've earned. See the collectables guide on our sister site for all of the locations.

If you happen to die right after talking to him, go back and talk again otherwise it won't count. Thank you to Jamby for the complete list of the Virgil commentaries below.

 

Shores of Acheron

Into the Blind World - Right after you climb some demon wall, there will be a Judas coin on a little cliff nearby.

Shores of Acheron - After you kick open a door that you had to turn a lever and break a breakable wall to get to. You see Charon and people constantly falling in the background.

 

Limbo

Limbo - After ripping off Charon's head and getting back onto land (you had to run across a breaking bridge right before this).

Unblessed Infants - You'll get to this right after you meet the unbaptized babies with scythe hands for the first time.

Hall of Kings - Right before King Minos, the judge of the dead. Virgil will be in the corner and when entering the door before him you see him for a split second. Run to the bottom right to see him and then talk to him.

 

Lust

Winds of Lust - Literally right in front of the Lust Storm. On the left.

Semiramis - After the snake head that you have to break it's teeth to continue. You also receive a cutscene with Beatrice sitting in on a bed.

Helen - After killing Cleopatra in Lust, you do a few jumps and he'll be waiting for you when you land.

 

Gluttony

Gluttony - Before fighting Cerebus and after you do some platforming to get down to Gluttony.

Valley of Mud - After the room with the three mouths and before the mirror puzzle.

 

Greed

Greed - After descending into Greed, you'll see Virgil right in front a bunch of gold looking stuff and moving platforms.

Earth's Treasure - After getting passed the room that closes in on you and/or enemies. Right next to a demon wall.

The Wheel of Fortune - After you climb up Plutus, open the door and go across the rope, Virgil is waiting for you when you drop off the rope.

 

Anger

Anger - After descending into Anger, Virgil will be waiting for you.

Pigs in the Mire - After using a box to make a platform go down.

The City Draws Near - After going up the platform that you have to make sure the fire thing doesn't catch up. Right next to the rope that goes down and you'll get onto the big behemoth's head that you'll ride through the City of Dis (except that's not yet, you ride it across a pond).

 

Heresy

Heresy - After descending into Heresy, he'll be waiting for you.

The Harrowing - Right after you go through the two hallways that have fire levers (one of which, demons try to catch you in it).

Epicurus - When you get to the main room where you're moving up a statue so it gets hit by light (the first time), you'll have to get across some demon walls and once you are passed them, Virgil will be waiting for you. It's also right before the room with 5 fire walls needing to be closed.

Three More Circles - This is after you get passed the room where all the platforms around you are breaking and falling (also known as the stalactite room).

 

Violence

Violence - Right next to the River of Boiling Blood, when you first get there.

Wood of Suicides - After crossing the River of Boiling Blood, Virgil will be waiting for you.

Treachery

The Final Circle - After you get done with the Malbolge, Virgil is waiting on the path.

Treachery - Literally right at the beginning of the crumbling ice bridge (right before the final boss). He blends in with the scenery, so he's easy to miss.

Combat Trophies

 

29.jpg  Holy Warrior (B)

Kill 30 Minions

Impossible to miss, there are more then enough minions. These are the most common enemies. They will appear once you enter the Shores of Acheron and remain for the rest of the game. If you punish or absolve them, it counts as a kill.

 

30.jpg  Demon Slayer (B)

Kill 30 Demons

Impossible to miss, there are more then enough demons. These are the large creatures with horns and first appear in the Shores of Acheron. You can kill them or absolve/punish them for more holy/unholy experience. If you punish or absolve them, it counts as a kill.

 

31.jpg  Bad Nanny (B)

Kill 20 Unbaptized Babies

Impossible to miss, there are more then enough Unbaptized Babies. They first appear in Limbo and remain throughout the game.

 

32.jpg  Indigestion (B)

Kill 5 Gluttons

Impossible to miss. They first appear in Gluttony and appear occasionally throughout the rest of the game. These are the very large, fat men that spit bile at you. Even if you play on Easy, you should find enough to get this trophy in your first play through. If you don't get it, you'll get enough in Gates of Hell mode.

 

33.jpg  Confessional (B)

Kill 5 Heretics

Impossible to miss. Heretics first appear in Heresy and are the enemies that teleport around. If they have a purple symbol above their heads, they're immune to your cross attack (:circle:) and will make every other enemy immune as well.

 

34.jpg  Countermeasures (B)

Kill 20 enemies using a counter move

To execute a counter move, push :l2: just before an enemy attacks, then quickly push :square: or :triangle:. You have to kill the enemy with the counter move or else it won't count. Even for minions, it'll take at least two counter moves to kill it. It's recommended to use the Hoarder's Purse relic to increase the time you can use a counter.

 

35.jpg  Superstition (B)

Kill 20 enemies using magic

You can get this by playing normally through the game and attack with magic, or when you reach the Malebolge Circles. In the first challenge here, you'll have to do a challenge with infinite Magic and there's way more then 20 enemies there. Just use Sins of the Father spell (received from the Gluttony boss) during this challenge, and you'll get it easily.

 

26.jpg  Warming Up (B)

Perform a 50 hit combo

You'll probably get this during the first fight.

A 50 hit combo isn't hard at all, you just need enough enemies.

Spamming Cross attack with :circle: is the best way to get this.

 

27.jpg  Masterpiece (S)

Perform a 200 hit combo

See "Poetry in Motion"

 

28.jpg  Poetry in Motion (G)

Perform a 666 hit combo

 

You don't need to get exactly 666.

 

The best place for this is almost at the end of the game, during the Malebolge challenges. There is one challenge (Malebolge 4) where you need to be in the air for 8 seconds. Make sure you don't go up in the air and keep spamming Cross attack with :circle:, the enemies will keep respawning which makes it a piece of cake to get up to 666+ (credit to GameOverSuckas for the video):

 

 

Kingofdarkness said:
Relics- Coin of Plutus this increases the combo window having it to Lvl 3 will help greatly that way the combo window will stay up for 3.3 secs and that gives you enough time to roll if they get close and block you or if they block your crosses.

 

Lord's Blessing relic at lvl 3. It increases the damage of all cross attacks and abilities.

Credit to Kingofdarkness for this info.

 

If you're on the second playthrough, you can also do this on Malebolge 1. You have to set the difficulty to Infernal. You'll have infinite magic, so spam Sins of the Father (credit to mezrik100 for the video):

 

 

42.jpg  Gates of Hell (G)

Defeat all enemy waves in the Gates of Hell Arena

 

You'll unlock this Arena after beating the game.

 

To make it a piece of cake make sure you finish the game on Classic and then start this one since the Gates of Hell adapts to whichever difficulty you choose. You'll have to go through 50 waves of enemies, there's a timer running and for completing a wave you'll get a time bonus. Completing a wave without taking damage gives you another time bonus as does absolving/punishing enemies.

 

 

Miscellaneous

 

21.jpg  Old Friend (B)

Find and absolve Brunetto Latini

This one is missable!

 

In the lowest circle of Violence, you can find him on top of a pile of rocks.

Make sure you Absolve him for this trophy. His location is listed in our sister site's collectables guide.

 

25.jpg  Burning Eyes (B)

Send Charon back into the abyss

This one is missable!

 

When you've ripped off Charon's head in the Shores of Acheron, you throw it away.

Right after the cutscene you enter a building and in this building you come across it's head.

Get close to it and press :r1: to push it away.

 

20.jpg Forbidden Love (S)

Find and absolve both Francesca de Polenta and Paolo Malatesta

This one is missable!

 

Both of these characters are in Lust. One is towards the beginning and the other is towards the end of the level. Absolve both of them. Their locations are listed in our sister site's collectables guide.

 

38.jpg  Light in the Dark (B)

Reach Holy Level 7

Absolve every enemy you get the chance to, you can grab most enemies too with :r2: and choose between Punish or Absolve. Make sure absolve all the damned you come across for lots of points. If you chose for the Holy path only you'll get this without problem on your first playthrough. Be sure to have the Charon's oar relic equipped. You'll get bonus holy experience.

 

39.jpg  Death's Apprentice (B)

Reach Unholy Level 7

Same as "Light in the Dark" but now Punish all enemies. The relics that you should have equipped are Tail of Minos (bonus experience) and Francesca's Book (bonus unholy experience for every 50 kills with a scythe).

 

40.jpg  Holy Man (S)

Max out the Holy path

Buy all the Holy upgrades for this one.

 

41.jpg  Man of Evil (S)

Excellent guide, I'll be sure to use this on my second playthrough after you been given permission for the relics & silvers from x360a.org; but one question. How's the replay value after the game? Do you get a 2nd costume beside the DLC dead space?

You do get a costume after beating the game, but I haven't found out if it does anything :confused:

 

Replay value is very low at the moment, maybe when the multiplayer/co-op DLC is released it will be better.

I've just beaten the game on Easy and here are some precisions ...

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/322/32.jpg Indigestion (B)

Kill 5 Gluttons

Impossible to miss, this comes later in the game, there are not alot but enough Gluttons for this.

On my playthrough (on Easy), there weren't enough Gluttons. But you can kill the remaining ones by playing "Gates of Hell" mode after completing the game. This mode also allows to to get a lot of "kill" trophies.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/322/42.jpg Gates of Hell (G)

Defeat all enemy waves in the Gates of Hell Arena

You'll unlock this Arena after beating the game.

 

To make it a piece of cake make sure you finish the game on easy and then start this one. You'll have to go through 50 waves of enemies, there's a timer running and for completing a wave you'll get a time bonus. Completing a wave without taking damage gives you another time bonus.

If you beat the game on easy with the Holy Path maxed out, then the Gates of Hell will be very very very easy. All you have to do is spam the :circle: button over and over.

 

Doing this, I beat the 50 gates with 12 minutes to spare. Many waves were beaten in less than 1 second :D

Sorry for the double post ...

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/322/38.jpg Light in the Dark (B)

Reach Holy Level 7

Absolve every enemy you get the chance to, you can grab most enemies too with R2 and choose between Punish or Absolve.

Make sure absolve all the damned you come across for lots of points.

If you chose for the Holy path only you'll get this without problem on your first playthrough.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/322/39.jpg Death's Apprentice (B)

Reach Unholy Level 7

Same as "Light in the Dark" but now Punish all enemies and damned.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/322/40.jpg Holy Man (S)

Max out the Holy path

Buy all the Holy upgrades for this one.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/322/41.jpg Man of Evil (S)

Max out the Unholy path

Buy all the Unholy upgrades for this one.

 

On Easy too, I absolved every ennemy and killed all the ones that can't be absolved, and I got the "Light in the Dark" and "Holy Man" trophies. However getting "Death's Apprentice" and "Man of Evil" requires a 2nd playthrough. Maybe it's possible to get all 4 trophies on a single playthrough on harder difficulties but I haven't tried.

 

If you beat the game and start a new one, you can play in "resurection mode" (sorry for translation), which means you start a new game and keep :

- your holy and unholy level

- your holy and unholy upgrades

- your magic spells

- your Beatrice stones

- your holy relics

 

But some reason you lose all your pieces of silver :confused: so for the "Well Done, Judas" trophy you have to collect them all again :(

Typically then that I decided to go for the unholy path. .

 

Anyway isn't the arena the best place to get the 666 combo trophy?

 

Great guide magmar, looking forward to use it.

 

cheers

Nope, not enough enemies ;)

 

So, that means ... if I beat the game on normal, and then on easy the gates will be on easy or does the first difficulty count?

The latest playthrough counts.

 

I beat it first on medium and arena was medium difficulty.

Didn't beat the arena so I went for other trophies on easy and then the arena was also on easy.

 

 

Nice Guide doz relly help that much atm no coz u you dont have the collectables, once u have that the guide will be ace :D

I was eager to post it, didn't have enough time today to collect them all again and write the collectibles guide myself ;)

Will be included soon.
