About the DLC Expansion:

Knives Chau vs. The World is the 1st DLC expansion for the rock-n-roll action love story of Scott Pilgrim. Now the ex-girlfriend Knives Chau is a playable character, as well as a new player vs. player arena (Battle Royal) and Dodgeball mode. Additionally, the new DLC comes with a free patch that fixes some of the glitches in the game, including the infamous Chaudown trophy glitch from the original main game. The free patch also allows players to drop in or drop out of the game at anytime while playing and it lowers the difficulty of Average Joe which will make trophy hunting much easier than before. The only thing that isn't added to the game is an online multiplayer. Sadly, Ubisoft has stated that this feature is not going to be added to this game. The good thing is that trophies can be earned with 1-2 controllers by yourself which is a good thing.

 

Helpful Cheat Codes and Glitches:

  • Scott's Heart Sword (At the Title Screen)
    • :square:, :square:, :square:, :cross:, :circle:, :cross:, :triangle:

 

  • Survival Horror (aka Zombie Mode; At the Title Screen)
    • :down:, :up:, :right:, :down:, :up:, :right:, :down:, :up:, :right:, :right:, :right:

 

  • Infinite Money, Experience (requires 2 controllers)
    • Select any character and defeat the first Evil Ex.
    • Press :start: to Exit Game
    • Select main character that you want to increase money for
    • Using another controller as a "guest" join the game
    • Select the character with the most cash on them as your "guest" character
    • Start the game and select Shopping District
    • Enter into the shop and have the "guest" lend all of their money with the :circle: button towards player 1
    • Once Knives has all of their money, press :start: and then Return To Map (autosaves here)
    • Once on the World Map, press :start: and then Exit Game
    • Repeat as much as you want as Player 1 has the money increase and Player 2 still has their money that they just lend.

Walkthrough:

 

Step 1: Complete the First World as Knives Chau

For this step you're simply preparing yourself for the 90 minute Speed Run playthrough for Step 2, so you'll need to beat the first Evil Ex. Start Story Mode on Average Joe and select Knives as your character and complete the first world as her until you've defeated the first Evil Ex. Be sure to have the Scott's Heart Sword cheat code enabled to make your playthrough much easier.

 

Step 2: Do the Infinite Money, Experience Cheats

By this step, you should have beaten the first Evil Ex as Knives. Now it's time to do the infinite money and experience cheats to max out Knives status. To do this you'll need two controllers. Begin Story Mode as Knives and use a second controller to have a guest join in the game. Now make the "guest" character player with the most money. Start the game and once on the World Map, select Shopping District. Go into the first store and have the "guest" character give Knives all of their money to her. After the transfer is completed, press the :start: button and then select Return To Map (the game will autosave). Once you're at the World Map simply press :start: button and then select Exit Game. Now when you play as Knives she will have whatever amount of money that you lend her. The game doesn't save the "guest" status so that "guest" character still has the money that they lend towards Knives too. Repeat this as much as you like until you have about $1500+ cash on Knives.

 

Once you have a decent amount of money after doing the money cheat it’s time to max out Knives status. Begin Story Mode as Knives and once on the World Map, select Shopping District and go into the first store. Pay off Scott's late fees ($504.25). Now you can buy videos each for $4.95! Buy the following for your Speed Run playthrough:

 

  • The Mystical Head
    • Increases life by 1UP (buy until item is sold out)

 

  • Seven Shaolin Masters
    • Increases +10 DEF, +10 SPD, +10 WP, +10 STR each (buy 10)

 

  • Alone and Disturbed
    • Increase XP +1500 (buy about 15-20 until you're level 16)

Now you have a maxed out Knives for your Speed Run. You can exit the shop and run down the street until you get to the secret store with the star on it in the tunnels. Enter the store and buy the following snack:

 

  • Ambrosia ($59.95)
    • Completely restores both HP and GP when your HP is reduced to 0

After the purchase of the snack, press the :start: button and select Return to Map, so you can autosave the game for Step 3. Now you're at the World Map simply press :start: button and then select Exit Game.

 

Step 3: Complete the game as Knives in less than 90 minutes on Average Joe

Now it's time for the Speed Run playthrough where you'll have to complete the game in less than 90 minutes. Begin Story Mode on Average Joe and select the very first level Frozen Suburbs (Once you've completed it select Case Lomo's Film Set next). You've most likely beaten the game before, so you'll be familiar with the levels and Evil Exes. If you are using the Scott's Heart Sword cheat this will make your playthrough a breeze especially if you've done the Infinite Money and Experience cheat as well. Play through the entire game as you normal would and you should complete the game in about 45-50 minutes on average. Be sure that you do this in one single sitting in order to ensure that you unlock the trophy. Also while playing through the game, when you make it to World 5: Halloween Party, this is your chance to grab yourself the It’s All In The Reflexes (B) trophy. Once you've defeated the first mini boss: Robot-01. Grab the baseball that you see next to the hockey stick and throw the baseball at the walls with the :triangle: button and then press and [hold] :circle: button to catch the baseball that you just threw. Repeat this 25 times until you unlock the following trophy:

  • (B) It’s All In The Reflexes

After you've defeated and “break” Gideon, you'll have the following trophy:

  • (S) Speed Run

 

Step 4: Doing either of the Ninja Somersault methods

Ninja Somersault is the hardest trophy in the game. In order to unlock the trophy you must simply perform at least 10 consecutive head stomps successfully with Knives. The head stomp is one of Knives Move List attacks. You can perform the Head Stomp by pressing the :triangle: button in mid air. It's a level 11 move, but you should be a level 16 even before this step. There are a variety of methods that you can do to go about obtaining this trophy. You can refer to the trophy guide for more information about the methods. Once you've completed your 10th and successful head stomp without getting blocked or hit, you'll unlock the following trophy:

  • (G) Ninja Somersault

 

Step 5: Clean up

Potentially this step isn't necessary, but you might have missed a chance to do the It’s All In The Reflexes (B) trophy or have failed multiple times at the Ninja Somersault (G) trophy. Please refer to the trophy guide descriptions for more information.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/627/13.jpg It’s All In The Reflexes (B)

Catch a flying object at least 25 times.

 

This is the easiest trophy in the DLC and its best done on World 5: Halloween Party. Play through the level until you've reached the first mini boss: Robot-01. Defeat him in battle and then grab the baseball that you see next to the hockey stick and throw the baseball at the walls with the :triangle: button and then press and [hold] :circle: button to catch the baseball that you've just thrown. Repeat this 25 times until your trophy unlocks. It's good to note that you must be level 4 or higher as Knives to Catch objects, although you're most likely level 16.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/627/14.jpgSpeed Run (S)

Clear the game in 90 minutes or less with Knives.

 

This trophy is rather simple and not as challenging as it appears to be. I recommend that you use the cheat for Scott's Heart Sword: :square:, :square:, :square:, :cross:, :circle:, :cross:, :triangle: at the title screen and that you do the Infinite Money, Experience cheat found in the roadmap. To do the Infinite Money, Experience cheat you'll first have to defeat the first Evil Ex as Knives. When you're ready and have defeated the first Evil Ex do the experience cheats to max out Knives. Begin Story Mode and select Shopping District and enter the first shop to pay off Scott's late fees ($504.25). Now you can buy videos each for $4.95! Buy the following for your Speed Run playthrough:

 

  • The Mystical Head
    • Increases life by 1UP (buy until item is sold out)

 

  • Seven Shaolin Masters
    • Increases +10 DEF, +10 SPD, +10 WP, +10 STR each (buy 10)

 

  • Alone and Disturbed
    • Increase XP +1500 (buy about 15-20 until you're level 16)

Now that you have a maxed out Knives for your Speed Run, you can exit the shop and run down the street until you get to the secret store with the star on it in the tunnels. Enter the store and buy the following snack:

 

  • Ambrosia ($59.95)
    • Completely restores both HP and GP when your HP is reduced to 0

After the purchase of the snack, press the :start: button and select Return to Map, so you can autosave the game. Now that you're at the World Map simply press :start: button and then select Exit Game.

 

Now you're truly ready for the Speed Run playthrough where you'll have to complete the game in less than 90 minutes. Begin Story Mode on Average Joe and select the very first level Frozen Suburbs (Once you completed it select Case Lomo's Film Set next). You've most likely beaten the game before, so you'll be familiar with the levels and Evil Exes. If you are using the Scott's Heart Sword cheat this will make your playthrough a breeze especially if you've done the Infinite Money and Experience cheat as well. Play through the entire game as you normally would and you should complete the game in about 45-50 minutes on average. Be sure that you do this in one single sitting in order to ensure that you unlock the trophy. After you've defeated and “break” Gideon, you'll unlock the trophy.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/627/15.jpgNinja Somersault (G)

Perform at least 10 consecutive head stomps successfully with Knives.

 

:psn:: This trophy can now be obtain online with a boosting partner as of the Online Multiplayer and Wallace DLC Pack.

 

Ninja Somersault is the hardest trophy in the game. In order to unlock the trophy you must simply perform at least 10 consecutive head stomps successfully with Knives. The head stomp is one of Knives Move List attacks. You can perform the Head Stomp by pressing the :triangle: button in mid air. It's a level 11 move, but you should be a level 16. There are a variety of methods that you can do to go about obtaining this trophy. Once you've completed your 10th and successful head stomp without getting blocked or hit, you'll unlock the trophy. Below are the three best methods:

  • Method 1: Very Difficult Method
    • This is the hardest method, but this is the original normal method for obtaining the trophy. Begin the Story Mode on Average Joe and as Knives and then select Subspace Highway? Once you're in the level, proceed to face Gideon's second form of the Angle/Mutant. Now you may be tempted to do the head stomps on the Mutant Evil Exes, but he'll just eventually do his shock attack to hurt you. Simply defeat the first Mutant form and he'll face you himself. Now try your best to get into a good position and jump into the air with :cross: and continue to press the :triangle: button against him. If you're lucky enough to manage to do the 10 consecutive head stomps successfully without being hurt, missing or blocked, then you'll unlock the trophy. The only thing that makes this method hard is that it doesn't always work out this way. For one, he'll usually back away once you hit him for the 8th time causing you to miss him. He can also punch you off the stage which does a lot of damage and sometimes he slams his fist on to the ground which interferes with you attacking him. Try to start hitting him when he gets close to you and keep spamming the :triangle: button while in the air to keep the consecutive head stomps going. If you were lucky to pull it off you get 11 consecutive hits and he'll enter lightning attack mode.

 

  • Method 2: Medium Difficult Method
    • This is the second best method for obtaining the trophy. Begin the Story Mode on Average Joe and as Knives and then select Subspace Highway? Now after jumping onto the platform with the Scott's Heart Sword in your hand, connect a 2nd controller and have a "guest" ready to join into the game as "Ramona", but first use the Sword to defeat the Mutant Evil Exes form then quickly throw the Sword away with the :triangle: button. Now quickly press the :cross: button on your 2nd controller to have Ramona join into the game. Move her towards the upper portion of the screen next to the blue pillar and have her use her Striker by pressing the :l1: button. Now both characters will be in Ex Mode making them faster. Now get close to Gideon and jump into the air with :cross: and continue pressing the :triangle: button to perform head stomps. If lucky you'll get over 10 consecutive head stomps right there. If not, there are a few things that could happen. One of the most common things that happens is once you get the 8th consecutive hit, Gideon will back up and out of your reach causing you to miss him; however, thanks to the Ex Mode from Ramona you can simply start spamming the Tech 2 attack with :down: + :triangle: while still in the air. This tech will send you higher into the air and will keep your combo going. This is why Ramona's :l1: Striker is needed to get Knives into Ex Mode. When Gideon returns back into your reach, continue to hit him with the remaining amount of head stomps that you need. Moments later the trophy will unlock. It's also worth mentioning that he won't attack you if you attack him right away when he's back into reach. This method was originally mentioned by pillsbury15.

      If you're wondering where to unlock Tech 2, then you must play through World 6: The Park and make it into the secret shop where you see four guys standing outside. Press the :up: button to enter the secret shop and buy the Special Training for $57.50. Check your Move List and you'll notice that you have Tech 2 unlocked. Note that if you unlocked Tech 1 instead of Tech 2, then simply press :start: and select Return to Map. Now Select World 6: The Park over again and make it to the shop to buy the Special Training once again. This time you'll have Tech unlocked.

 

  • Method 3: Medium/Easy Difficult Depending on Skills
    • This is another common way to go about obtaining the trophy, but it's the most time consuming way and requires skill as well as luck. The first thing you'll need to do is use the Survival Horror (aka Zombie Mode) at the title screen with the following code: :down:, :up:, :right:, :down:, :up:, :right:, :down:, :up:, :right:, :right:, :right:. Now that you've entered that code, you'll have a new mode inside the Extra Game Modes. Go into Extra Game Modes and select Survival Horror on Average Joe difficultly and then select Knives as your character. Now it's time to get to the killing. You'll need to kill an extremely high amount of zombies in order to fill the screen full of zombies. I recommend that you kill around 75-90+ zombies. Do this by getting over 5 kills without getting hit to have Knives enter Ex Mode. Once in Ex Mode, jump into the air with :cross: and then spam Tech 2 by pressing the
      :down: + :triangle: to quickly rack up kills. Once you're close to a decent high amount of kills such as 75-90+, simply go towards the bottom of the screen or either the middle of the screen and spam the :right: + :circle: and :left: + :circle: over and over again. This trick will help you line the zombies up for you to continue to head stomp. Once you feel like you're ready, jump into the air with :cross: and start head stomping with :triangle: button. Make sure that each hit connects and inflicts damage towards the zombie you hit. If the zombie you hit blocks the attack or if you miss or just simply got hit the consecutive counter will reset and you will have to retry the consecutive head stomps over again. If you're lucky to pull off this method you'll unlock the trophy.

 

Thank you all for being patient and enjoy the guide.

I just did it yesterday, tested all three methods for fun and I have to say the second method is the easiest by far.

 

I can do a video if you need it but it won't be of very good quality unfortunately. :/

 

That would be very helpful mate. I would of course give credit to you too. The 2nd was indeed the easiest method out of the three. :)

For the reflexes trophy, use the method on the other trophy guide too. Catching flying objects isn't a Knives' exclusive ability as Ramona also has it, so i just traded catches between them back and forth until the trophy popped in the Battle Royale arena. You obviously need 2 controllers for this.

 

Method 2 of Ninja Somersault you said "ramona use down triangle". You meant Knives. You can completely ignore Ramona's existence after triggering L1. Best way to spam that knife throwing attack is holding down and spamming triangle until he comes back, then releasing down and continue to spam triangle until the 10th hit lands. I don't believe the trophy pop if you don't touch the ground, mine didn't and i believe i went over 20 hits.

 

Also for the tech unlock, you mention unlocking tech 1. Tech 1 unlocks at level 16, the purchaseable upgrade only unlocks tech 2 as far as i know (and my boosting partners for the MP).
