spratters53 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) READ THIS BEFORE POSTING ANY QUESTIONS . If you have a question regarding something in this post please be specific with what you need help with. Any help from other members is very greatly appreciated as i havent played the game in a while. i still have a basic knowledge but may not know about recent patches, fixes etc except from what i have heard from other people. Wish to sign up to the forum due to help from me or this guide? click here Now onto the guide: Context: when going for blight-queller (and others) it only counts for one playthrough. so all 1000 kills need to be made in that playthrough. i believe it was different before the patch and what you say in the guide is only relevent before that patch. also this means that people who played without the patch and then downloaded that patch have two different kill counters. one is for previous to the patch and they get, say 700 kills. then they download the patch now the darkspawn kills only count for one playthrough and all of the darkspawn kills made on the previous patch become irrelevent, the game wont count them. this explains why people have been able to delete the patch, kill 300 or so darkspawn and then the trophy pops. How to fix the glitch: if you began playing the game without a patch then delete the game save data and play on from there, that will make your game count all kills across all playthroughs. if you started playing with a patch then you have to get all 1000 kills on one character, and i think solely as the player character, however im not sure about that. easiest way to do this that i found is get your mage playthrough character and make sure you have at least one of the area effect spells (tempest, blizzard, death cloud, inferno). Then go to the elven alienage at the end of the game (during the final onslaught) and spam that spell over and over as it will kill any of the grunts that run into it, guaranteeing you at least 50 kills per run. Its easy and fast taking 5 mins at the most. Then save or dont save (i tried both, it makes no difference) and reload a save by the tree in the middle. Best make a hard save before entering the area though as well as the autosave. Installing the DLC in the middle of the game also resets the kill counter, I would advise you not to risk it and therefore either install the DLC before you start playing, or after you have all 3 kill counter trophies. I hope this helps everyone who has been having problems another location to grind kills (thanks to delaney for finding it) FYI for all you warriors out there. The Redcliffe final battle is a great place to grind. Not all of us have AOE spells . 33 darkspawns and only 2 ogres. The rest are a breeze. It's a convenient way to count your kills too. 3 runs = 100 kills (give or take). this trophy can be unlocked in the awakening DLC as well here is a specific location near the end of the game that can be ground at (credit to rickz) In the quest where you save the Keep instead of Amarantine i went to the front gate alone (partners hold position at the start) somehow the front gate has infinite darkspawns spawn when you are alone. (it worked for me i found it totally by mistake) My character is a Warrior so i just press over and over again After 30 minutes i got Master Warden and after 2h30 i finally got Blight Queller and platinum. It took 3 hours, sounds like a pain but if you are like me and don't have your final onslaught save to use spratters53 method, it is better than replay 40 hours of game for that trophy, i was carying the controller with me in the house doing other things and the character even lvl up to 33 Hope this will help other people Rick Edited September 13, 2011 by spratters53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olsen77 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 hey, no problem. i thought i'd better post what i found out after searching for hours tying to find what exactly was wrong, ive also told olsen but he seems not to care enough to put it in his guide, or atleast a link or something Uh, dude. I got back from E3 a few days ago. I've had numerous things to catch up on ever since. I haven't even finished the articles and previews I have to write from E3. So please, cut me a bit of slack.

Eunhoon Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) I'm gonna try out this way with the patch on. Hmm so all I have to do is keep on killing the darkspawn at Elven alienage and after all that is over I just reload the previous Save at the Huge Tree and fight all over? I'm doing this right way right? Edited June 23, 2010 by Eunhoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratters53 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 yeah i think so assuming dave is supposed to be save and train is tree ... just manually save the game by the tree at the center of the alienage after talking to shianni (something like that) where she requests your help. blast through the darkspawn and then reload once it says "quest updated". try to use your mage character as the mage can make a large spell radius that kills any grunts or normal enemies that run into it which is atleast 40 of the 50 enemies there.

Eunhoon Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Thanks spratters!! It works with the patch on. but Those orge are strong. sorry about dave and train it's my iPhone. Edited June 23, 2010 by Eunhoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjt417 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) I will also post a confirmation when I get it (I started playing with the patch on). Also is there any way of checking how many I've killed at any given time? The stats only seem to give me a collective answer; not an individual kill count per player. Edit: Confirmed. (Played with patch, followed your advice, got the trophy. Thanks.) Edited July 2, 2010 by cjt417 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratters53 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 no there isnt, other than guessing how many youve killed since the last trophy unlocked. if you do it my way though then it doesnt matter, just kill till you get the trophy. you'll probably end up grinding anyway as there are very few darkspawn actually present in the game. i believe theres only about 1200 darkspawn in the main game but respawning does keep a tally of how many kills before you died.

galvino- Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) If you die, then reload. Do you think the kills you got are counted? Also, the counter found in the "Heroic Accomplishments" tab, should also reset itself everytime you reload, right?

spratters53 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) they are, same theory as completing a section then reloading it without saving. EDIT: yeah it resets itself but the game uses the game data stored in your xmb to record the kills not the ingame saves hence why it screws up when you install a patch Edited June 25, 2010 by spratters53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlito Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 i first got my 100 DS kills trophy when i was up to 329 kills so will i probably get my 500 and 1000 kills trophies much later ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratters53 Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 yeah, that doesnt matter though. this means that you're playing with the patch so my advice is whichever account you'll be using to get blight queller on (mage preferably) try and rack up as many kills with your controlled character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlito Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 so it ll still stack up through all my playthroughs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosamunde Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) like spratters said this trophy is related to the number of darkspawn kills your player controlled character gets, not the group total kills, as stated in other threads and it has nothing to do with faulty patches or dlc, i got the 100 dark spawn kills in my first playthrough before i even finished ostagar, then by the end of my second playthrough i got nothing and was worried, great tip i found, hold l2 down, select advanced and hold position, your group will stay put while you can go forward and get your kills, if you get into trouble do the same thing again and your group should come running, where ever you are in the game, farm this in the first tower mission in ostagar, deep roads or in the final mission, re use your save files across any playthrough and re load them over again i got this 'mo fo' of a trophy last night Edited June 27, 2010 by rosamunde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
