Metal Gear Solid 4 Level Pack - Trophy Guide and Road Map


Aidan

Recommended Posts

The servers have now closed, therefore the 100% is unobtainable if you didn't get the online trophy before that happened.

 

This guide was originally created by Aidan and has been updated and formatted to make it into a proper guide. The Road Map is by lukey52.

 

Overview:

-Estimated trophy difficulty: 4/10

-Offline: 10 (8 (B), 2 (S))

-Online: 1 (1 (B)) - Unobtainable

-Approximate amount of time to 100%: 4-8 hours

-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1

-Number of missable trophies: None, Level select is available

-Glitched trophies: None

-Do cheat codes disable trophies?: None available

 

Introuction:

 

The trophy set that comes along with the Metal Gear Solid 4 Level Pack is really nothing challenging. They can easily all be earned in just the one setting by yourself. Having said that, for trophies such as Speedy Rexecutioner and Virtual Survivor, having a friend to help out could make a huge difference. Due to the nature of the game it is not possible to miss any trophies although a couple of trophies are missable in the sense that if you miss a prize bubble (METAL GEAR SOLID® Booty Master) or die, (Ace Act 3 and Act 4) you will need to start the level again.

 

 

Walkthrough:

 

There are only two logical paths to take for these trophies which are as follows:

 

Step One: Easy Way - Complete each level

  • Simple enough, complete all 5 Acts. Don't worry about anything else, just enjoy the new levels.
  • Doing this will unlock the levels as well as earn you Rexecutioner.

 

Step One: Easy Way - Complete all level related trophies

  • Now you will need to go back to each level and complete the respective trophies that you missed which should be: METAL GEAR SOLID® Booty Master, Thrifty Painter, Speedy Rexecutioner, Diamond Hunter, Ace Act 5: The Boss and Ace Act 3 and Act 4.
  • The video guides listed below will take you step by step through the various trophies listed above.

 

Alternatively, if you fancy more of a challenge and want to save yourself multiple playthroughs you can go for the harder option:

 

Step One: Hard Way - Complete each level and at the same time unlock all level related trophies

  • If you choose to do this you'll need to ensure you've got some videos open to guide you.
  • You're going to need to destroy the diamonds in act 4 for Diamond Hunter, you'll need to shoot less than 125 paintballs in act 3 for Thrifty Painter and of course collect all prize bubbles and ensure you don't die during act's 3, 4 and 5 for the respective trophies related to that.

 

Step Two: Mopping up

  • Regardless of how you did step one, you'll still be left with a couple of non story related trophies to finish up.
  • Start off by heading to create and publishing a level with the Paintinator for Paint Sharer - Unobtainable.
  • Now check out the new challenge and go for the score for Virtual Survivor.
  • Lastly you will want to fire off 40 paintballs in 5 seconds for QuickFire Artiste
  • While going for all the preceding trophies you should have fired over 5,000 paintballs and therefore earned Paint Splurge. If not simply get into a level and start firing away. There is no way to keep track of it but since it's possible to fire a few hundred a minute this should come really quickly.

Publish a level containing the METAL GEAR SOLID® Paintinator Powerup

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Very simple trophy. Go into create and add in the Paintinator Powerup. Once you've selected and added it, publish the level and the trophy is yours. No need to actually spend time building a level.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/14/057.jpg METAL GEAR SOLID® Booty Master (B)

Collect all of the METAL GEAR SOLID® prize bubbles

 

The following videos will show how to collect all the prize bubbles. Please note that you will also need the diamonds as they open a door at the end of the level with more prize bubbles.

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/14/056.jpg Thrifty Painter (B)

Complete Act 3: The Mission firing less than 125 paintballs

 

You can't get this by killing everything so rather than explain it with text, I've included a video detailing what you're able to skip.

 

This becomes a serious pain at times, especially when you're trying to get past the turrets. I can't remember how many times I died trying this, you'll get it eventually though. Just follow the video and make sure not to get trigger happy.

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/14/055.jpg Speedy Rexecutioner (S)

Destroy the Metal Gear REX boss in under 2 mins 30 seconds

 

Beat REX in under 2:30 which is very easy once you know how. This video should tell you that exactly, not to mention the Ace trophy + 100% of the items.

 

  • At first, shoot at a curve to hit the rocket launcher thing on his back. Your goal is to kill it before it returns into hiding.
  • Then walk up to his front leg while he's shooting green balls, and unload at his leg.
  • With the satellite beams, avoid the first until the target becomes visible and lob your paint balls at it.
  • The final stage is the tricky one, until you know where to stand. Jump up the little slope on your left and manage to balance yourself on it. Then it's just a matter of finding the right angle and bombs away.

 

Quickly run to the right, take out the Liquid things and it's a done deal!

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/14/054.jpg Diamond Hunter (B)

Destroy the 5 hidden target diamonds in Act 4: The Level Factory

 

Find all the 5 hidden diamonds and shoot them in Act 4. Easy enough. Just search around and you shall succeed.

 

For the last one, use the launcher when it's at its lowest point. To help you time this, you can jump on the actual launch barrel as it's going down, and just keep jumping up and down until it's at the desired location. The launcher stops moving if you stand on the barrel.

 

A really good summary of all 5 diamond locations can be found here. Alternatively if you prefer a visual guide see below:

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/14/053.jpg Virtual Survivor (S)

Achieve a score of 3,750 in the VR Survival Challenge

 

You have to get 3,750 points in this Challenge level. This is very hard by yourself, very easy with friends. Points accumulate amongst players so grab a buddy/buddette and you'll get this no problem. The video, however, shows how to get it by yourself.

 

Just stroll from right to left, left to right as you shoot the robots whenever they appear, all-the-while shooting diagonally to take out the roof turrets.

 

Remember, when you die you lose points. About 150 or so and the trophy is based on your score at the end of the level. This means you need about 3900+ points to end up with 3750.

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/14/052.jpg Paint Splurge (B)

Fire 5,000 paintballs

 

Straightforward trophy. You will most likely earn this while working on the other trophies in this DLC pack, especially whilst attempting Virtual Survivor. Paintballs fired accumulate across the levels. If you finish all the trophies first, just pull out your paint gun and keep firing it until the trophy unlocks.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/14/051.jpg Ace Act 5: The Boss (B)

Ace Act 5: The Boss

 

Refer to the video posted in Speedy Rexecutioner which shows how to Ace this act.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/14/050.jpg Ace Act 3 and Act 4 (B)

Ace Act 3: The Mission and Act 4: The Level Factory

 

The two videos relating to prize bubble collecting on Act 3 and 4 under METAL GEAR SOLID® Booty Master also serve as a guide to explaining how to ace each Act. Simply follow the video and you will achieve it eventually.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/14/049.jpg Rexecutioner (B)

Destroy the Metal Gear REX boss

 

Earned after you defeat the Act 5 boss. As you need to defeat him in a certain time for Speedy Rexecutioner and without dying for Ace Act 5: The Boss it is impossible not to earn this. For a video showing how it is done refer to the video in Speedy Rexecutioner.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/14/048.jpg QuickFire Artiste (B)

Fire 40 paintballs in under 5 seconds

 

This is more tedious than it sounds. As soon as you obtain the paintball gun, whip out your best Thumper impression and bash that :r1: button as fast as your finger can possibly handle.

 

Don't just do it in 5 second bursts but keep on going. You will be like an engine, revving up, eventually reaching the 40:5 ratio.

Thrifty Painter was a pain in the ass. I kept dying and dying at the spot where there were three consecutive turrets. The first one was a mandatory ten paint balls while trying to jump across the other two without dying became a real :mad:. I got lucky a second time where those roof turrets shot down while one across the gap shot straight forward. I was on my last life and just ran through them like crazy and managed to reach the other side somehow.

Thanks for the solid guide! Sorry, bad play on words. Cruised through these trophies thanks to ths. A couple of notes from my experience: Virtual Survivor was definitely easier with a friend, and once you get the right sticker, the intro level will require 2-3 playthroughs to "paste" all the targets. Some of them only appear briefly, just memorize them on the ride down the slope and get them on the next run if you miss them.

4/10 seriously?! The Thrifty Painter trophy was so freaking annoying, I almost smashed my controller with it and still didn't do this :mad:

 

EDIT: I found an easy way to do this, pretty easy though :p

 

Man, Quickfire Artiste is bloody impossible for my fingers.

 

Hit R1 button to the table ;)
