Odlanorz Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) I found a glitch that gave me the hard mode trophy without having to do the 2nd playthrough. Here is what i did. EDIT My instructions were off, thanks to Wintermute for figuring out proper directions. I figured out how to do this. From the main menu hit new game, select hard, then back out (I used circle, not sure if selecting no and pressing x would work). After this go into the options menu then back out with circle. This forces an autosave. Then select continue. Once your game loads, press select. If it worked the word "hard" should appear in the upper left of the map.

ScarletKnight71 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Wow! Good to know! I just beat the final boss so I'll get all the collectibles including orbs and go back and try it out. Edited April 14, 2013 by ScarletKnight71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBeloved Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I really hope this is an isolated event and/or gets fixed really soon. As I just got the platinum trophy -which I'm quite proud of- and don't want to get diminished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordBeloved Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Its not that hard of a plat I know, but it still shows perseverance due to the orb platform sections (Tule Tree and Sierra Morena) and boss fights (Flame Face and Javier). I agree it's not that hard compared to other games, but still feels a bit cheap to get it without actually playing it on hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightyfool Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Not that hard but some really frustrating moments which makes it one of my harder Platinums. And if that exploit works for everyone it will ruin the Platinum in my opinion. Edited April 14, 2013 by Mightyfool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_E Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 any confirmation? but i cant do it now already playing it hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty87 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It only takes around 5 hours to do hard mode anyway, and the game is so good that it is a pleasure to play through again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskdocx Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Might have been an isolated glitch. I cleared the game this morning with a 100% completion. Hadn't started hard yet, so I loaded up the game, hit new game, then "no", then reloaded my old game and rebeat the boss. No trophy for hard. The hardest part of the game isn't the battles anyway, it's those damn platforming sections to reach the orbs. I won't be doing those again for my hard mode play through anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kentoshiru Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 who cares how someone gets their plat? this is a site for getting trophies. if you wanted to get them legit then you wouldnt be on this site in the first place. if there is an exploit so be it. i cant believe people are actually complaining about a glitch, especially here of all places.

Cheap in some areas but other than that it's not that bad. I just got my and the final boss seemed a hell of a lot easier on this playthrough.

BatistaMason Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 NO we want easy trophies and easy earned ones Your post make it sound you are a trophy whore, not a video game player.

Well, we did get a patch for GOW: Ascension and Tomb Raider because crybabies didn't want to play the game the way its intended and wanted a Platinum on a silverplatter.

Wait - they patched Tomb Raider? I actually returned the game (had it on preorder) as I had not interest in 60+ hours of MP. I may reconsider, although I will probably still wait for a price drop at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceruben Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just tried it, didn't work for me. Though has anybody tried it without getting the up close and personal trophy first? Could that have something to do with the glitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may reconsider, although I will probably still wait for a price drop at this point. yup. after complaints about having to grind MP for that long just for one stupid character, they announced they were going to patch it to make the general free, and not count towards the trophy he was associated with. although someone found a way to unlock the character without even having to grind for that long (which may have also been another reason for the patch).

Jeevz Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I just did exactly as the OP said right down to getting the alternate ending and I didn't get the hard mode trophy. Old fashioned way it is for me I guess. No big deal, this game is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odlanorz Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Sorry if it didn't work for people. I edited OP with different method that may work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
