Well, technicly

 

U need every level under 2 minuts and then you have 6 minuts left. thats how i started playing.

 

- Play on easy, so you can see as much as possible about ure enemy. Most levels u can do under 2 minuts, i even have a few under 1 minute.

 

- The harder once is where u have to focus learn and keep trying. I think i made the campaign in 59minuts 17 seconds. I did that by shaving of 2 minuts of just 1 level.

 

these are my times maybe it can help you guys to aim at.

Nevermind, finally got it.

 

Quick tip: your high score time you see when you check the standings for a level is not the time that counts for this trophy. Right after you play the level if you hit 'select' for campaign statistics...it'll show your 'level time'.

 

Just keep doing each level trying to get the shortest time possible and eventually it'll unlock. Some of the early levels you can get done in less than 40 secs.

eh i think this is wrong, because i just calculated my time i did for all 28 levels, and it came out to 58:98 and the trophy aint pop up. and this is when i just re-did all the levels on easy about an hour ago. i even went back and shaved some seconds off levels that i was a bit slow on.

 

 

edit: nevermind, i see the problem. for some reason, my quicker times won't register when i press triangle to check my "level scoreboard", because that's your real time.

 

like for example here... for level 4, my level scoreboard time says 2:41, but my quickest time i did when i re-did them is 0:21, and that time won't replace the 2:41 time. which is gay, so i have no way on getting the Extripator trophy. because none of my quickest times is replacing my old times.

That’s true. That happens because the board shows the time you spent earning your best score and this trophy is given for the time registered in the records board. If you cannot improve both your score and time I would suggest 2 ways of solving this problem:

1. You can improve your level time on other difficulty level where necessary – new record will appear in other records board replacing your previous result.

2. This is a radical way – if you have completed the entire campaign and won all trophies you wanted, you can delete save data and replay the campaign completing it in 1 hour. Btw, you can copy save data to USB-flash before deleting it and restore it later.

A. That's messed up. They shouldn't link those two things (time and top score) together, because the Extripator description doesn't say anything about time AND top score.

B. So new people should start playing the game on Normal to get the hang of it, keeping the score low, then come back on Easy for the Extripator trophy?

C. That is desperate. Have you done this yourself? Were you able to restore all the deleted data?

i give up, i realized its not based on the leaderboard time. mines under 1:00 but ok, fine. so i kept track of all of my times from the level stat screen and used the post above as a guide.

2.) 1:44 3.)1:18 4.):33 5.):43 6.)1:28 7.)1:22 8.)1:49 9.)2:57 10.)1:45 11.):53 12.)2:24 13.)1:18 14.)1:21 15.)2:59 16.)2:10 17.)1:50 18.)3:38 19.)3:01 20.)2:44 21.)2:16 22.)2:55 23.)3:11 24.)3:23 25.)2:35 26.)1:35 27.)1:52

now if i can add right that's way under the hour it wants, but alas no trophy.

 

LANDULF: the time does register, but the stat screen only shows your best score. usually the best scores are not attained with speed in mind.

 

im not sure i'll ever give creat studios my money again which is sad because this game is pretty awesome. ohh, and whats with no remote play??? this game looks like it would've been feasible and easy enough to do.

B: You can play on any level in any way you want and then improve your level time where necessary at any other difficulty level to get the trophy.

C: Yep, I did. But you should try to do without it :D

I just beat several levels on easy and beat them under 1 minute, but because I didn't get all the rewards, I played them again (still on easy) and ended up getting higher scores because of the rewards. So now, my best score is around 7 minutes. Am I going to have to do the delete game save 'trick' in order to get this trophy? Cause I doubt that I'll get better times on Normal.

Update:

 

I just deleted my save and started a new game, but even though i beat the second level in 27 seconds and the 3rd level in 54 seconds, when I go to the level scoreboard on the stage select map, it still shows my old scores from before I deleted the save!!! Is this supposed to happen, and is it actually recording my new times!?!

GRRR this trophy is a right royal pain in the arse. I'm down to 1:12:15, so I still need to shave off more than 12 minutes.

 

The levels where I need to shave off some serious time are:

4 / 8 / 9 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 21 / 22 / 25 / 27

 

I'm at 5:01 for level 25... I'm still trying to figure out how to shave off 2½ minutes meh!

Can confirm what Kim said... The high score is saved on server side so no delete-save-file-trick to reset the scores. In other words I have also screwed up my chance at beating the game in under an hour at easy.

 

However, I am almost done with it on Normal instead. Would like some tips and strats on levels to shave off minutes as well. Will post my results as well as try to give some strat advice myself. :) Would be cool to see a "Speed guide" among the youtube results for mushroom wars :D

 

 

I have tried using the results Smoove posted as a rule of thumb what to aim for, but he's beating me most of the time :p

royal indeed... some tips:

4 - just rush his town with everything and right after take his second one. that gives ~21 sec

8 - set aim for the top forge and defend it. from there go take neutral towns and when you see the computer leaving the second forge - take it.

15 - do as the tutorial says; take, convert and upgrade the 5 to the right and wait for him to attack. keep like 20 ppl in each of the crowned ones and rush almost everything except 1/5 of your army to the shroom hes attacking the rest you rush to his tower. Keep it up; defend with 4/5 and reinforce the new cannon with 1/5 and maybe upgrade it.

21 - rush everything from your lvl 5 town to one of his lvl 4 and take that island. take the rest of your island with what u have left. and then reinforce the defence tower. be aggressive and upgrade.

 

The rest of those levels are the ones i'm working on aswell :p

 

Ok, since you asked for 25 - rush him with sending everything to 6 of his people producing towns (everything from the cannons and half + half from your forge) you can leave his forge until you have established at least a couple of lvl 3 towns. by then his forge should be empty and easy capture. since the computer is slow at upgrading his towns are rather weak and easily captured. if not feign a big attack and send smaller armies to the villages he leaves open.

24) 3:26

25) 2:38

26) 1:48

27) 2:52

28) 1:42

Some level times are horrible, I hate these levels. However, on my favourites (like the last level) I can earn very good scores and hyper times. :)

I'm at 59:30 and I think there is more 10 seconds to cut, but I had enough of this and will never try this time misery again. :)

I hope my scores are good enough to aim it. Good luck everybody!

Hey Everyone! Just curious if anybody has seen this before: I was playing a level in order to cut my time, and I beat both my TIME and my SCORE, I cut my time by 2 minutes. This displays fine on the level view, but my overall time went UP by 1 minute. It is inconsistant with the amount of time I actually played. Makes no sense. Anybody encounter this issue?

Yes, I had the same thing. First, I scared to death. :) But I checked the time in the campaign menu online ranking, then quit the campaign and check the overall time in the main menu again and finally it was the correct time. Don't be afraid, it will be good.

I gave up on this trophy (and hence the rest of the trophies) because of the fricking 'glitch'. Surely the would've patched it by now? And then perhaps those people who've gotten the trophy already will have even faster times.

 

Considering there are no trophies tied to scores, this trophy is unfair because it's precisely tied to scores despite requiring a time of under 1 hour. It's pissed me off big time, especially since I've gotten some pretty fast times on many levels.
