Introduction

 

Quantum Theory is a third-person shooter video game developed by Team Tachyon and published by Tecmo. The game was released in September 2010 and centers around two characters named Syd and Filena who must fight through a "living tower". Set in an organic sci-fi world, years have passed since a world war left the world in a catastrophic state, leaving only a few survivors. In a new community "Cocoon", life has been threatened by a black material called Erosion, creating a post-apocalyptic environment. Surviving humans recruit a militia to conquer the Erosion and set out to take down the "Living Tower".

 

The game has been likened to Gears of War but having never played that game, I can't say if it lives up to that billing. I will say this is a decent game despite the negative ratings. There is nothing spectacular about the game but if you're looking to burn some money and time and this title is on sale, you might like it for what its worth.

 

 

Roadmap

 

Step 1: Complete Story on Easy, using only the Revenant

 

Start on Easy mode and complete the game using only the Revenant sidearm. Do NOT use any other weapon. This difficulty is very easy as you can auto-lockon by pressing :l1: and the Revenant can kill most common enemies in 3-4 hits apart from headshots. Look for as many Watchers as you can by following the Collectible Guide. You should also attempt to nail down the trophies What a Pal, 8 Seconds with Style, and Fight Fire with Fire. Completing this step will unlock Trusty Sidearm for completing the game using only the Revenant, as well as give you an idea of what to do during Boss Fights.

 

 

Step 2: Complete Specific Chapters on Hard + Boss Fight Time Trials

 

On Hard mode you no longer have auto-lockon but now you are free to use any weapon you come across, which you should do to unlock Killing Connoisseur. You do not need to complete the whole story on Hard difficulty. On Chapters/Scenes 2, 6, 9, 0-2, 12 and 13, play on Easy up until the last section of each chapter, then quit to the Main Menu. Choose "Continue" in the Main Menu but switch to Hard difficulty and you will resume from the last checkpoint, then you can complete those chapters for the trophies: Dermal Lesion, Internal Trauma, Phloem, Breach, Subdural Hematoma and Death & Rebirth. Credits to OneChance for this find.

 

Each of the boss fights on Hard difficulty also have a time trial trophy associated with it, see the trophies Professional Exterminator, Gladiator, Warrior, Matador, Nevermore, Entropy and Release for more info.

 

 

Step 3: Clean Up

 

If necessary, you can choose Chapter Select on Easy to clean up on trophies like What a Pal, 8 Seconds with Style, Fight Fire with Fire, Major League, Cut a Rug, and find any remaining Watchers that you have left. You can also retry the Boss Time Trials on Hard if you missed them on your first attempt.

 

 

Step 4: Complete Multiplayer Trophies

 

I won't kid you, the online is about as dead as a graveyard. There's barely more than 20 people playing it and most aren't really dedicated to boosting the trophies. Speaking of that, you need 1,000,000 points to reach Immortal rank and there is a sort of anti-boosting/penalty system in place that will limit your progress or even send you down a rank or two if you exceed your limit of points achieved in a match. Having that said, if you do manage to find a dedicated boosting party of 6 (you need 8 people for a couple of trophies), expect to spend anywhere between 30-50 hours depending on your current ranks.

TROPHY GUIDE

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/01.jpg Destruction Incarnate (P)

Obtain all trophies.

 

Congrats you have beaten Quantum Theory!

 

 

Story Trophies

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/02.jpg Pierce the Skin (B)

Clear The Root of the Tower.

 

See “Dermal Lesion” below.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/08.jpg Dermal Lesion (B)

Clear The Root of the Tower on Hard.

 

Story Related. You’ll unlock this after clearing Scene 2 on Hard. Play on Easy mode up to the last checkpoint, quit to the Main Menu then choose "Continue" but switch to Hard mode. Complete the chapter to get both related difficulty trophies.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/03.jpg Through the Viscera (B)

Clear Trachea.

 

See “Internal Trauma” below.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/09.jpg Internal Trauma (B)

Clear Trachea on Hard.

 

Story Related. You’ll unlock this after clearing Scene 6 on Hard. Play on Easy mode up to the last checkpoint, quit to the Main Menu then choose "Continue" but switch to Hard mode. Complete the chapter to get both related difficulty trophies.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/36.jpg 8 Seconds with Style

Kill all enemies in Trachea without dying.

 

This is best done on Easy difficulty because you're riding a Granula which is pretty fast moving and enemies will die easier on Easy. In the first area you come across 3 turret positions. Whenever you see that

:r3: button alert at the bottom of your screen it means you're approaching one of these positions. The first position has two turrets and a floating red exploding core in between them, shoot the red core to destroy both of them with your MG. The next position has 1 turret and a core beside but you pass it very quickly so I suggest using the Rocket Launcher. The 3rd position has 3 turrets and 2 cores spread in between them, I suggest using the rocket launcher again and aim right in the middle to blast both cores at once.

 

After that you'll come to a new area and you can immediately lockon to 2 of those flying birds and kill them with you MG. Turn around and more birds will appear, about 5-6 of them so make sure you get them all. You'll be coming upon a platform with 5 soldiers on top next, you can either shoot the red exploding sacs on the ground or use the Rocket Launcher. I use the Launcher for everything since there's enough ammo. You'll circle around the back and come upon a 3rd platform with 3 guys, then a 4th platform with 2 Brutes and 2 soldiers and finally the last platform has 3-4 soldiers, 2 brutes and a turret. Try to get all the soldiers first so that none of them will man the turret.

 

After killing them all, the next area is free of enemies but you have to shoot Stained Glass Panels as you move on or it'll damage you and might even kill you. You get off at the 3rd area where more enemies are but they should be easy as you can hide behind cover here. Use the Revenant to save your MG ammo.

 

Finally, you'll proceed to the last fight with the Gargantua boss. Shoot him with everything you got but reserve the MG for when he opens his mouth so that you don't take alot of damage. Once you defeat the boss this trophy should unlock.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/27.jpg Professional Exterminator

Kill the Gargantua on Hard in 2 minutes 30 seconds or less.

 

The Gargantua is the spider-like boss at the end of Scene 6. Its weak point is the mouth whenever it opens up to shoot at you, though you still can do somewhat minimal damage when its mouth isn't open. A way to make this fight slightly easier is to play the first parts of the chapter on Easy while conserving ammo, then quit to the title screen when this fight starts. Choose to continue from where you're from and you can change the difficulty to Hard and you'll start with lots of ammo for your MG and Rocket Launcher.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/28.jpg Gladiator

Kill the Chariot during Thorax on Hard in 1 minute 30 seconds or less.

 

This Chariot is the giant "abnormal Gillskin" that you come across in the second area in Scene 7. The fight can be pretty tough if you don't have the right weapons, therefore I suggest you pickup a Venom MG and the Inferno Rocket Launcher in the first area of the chapter. If you don't see these on the floor, restart the scene as it won't take you more than 5 minutes to reach this mini-boss again. In the game, Filena tells you to shoot his shoulder to stun him then shoot his chest. DON'T waste your ammo and time shooting the shoulder, go directly for the red spot in the chest with your Venom MG. His shots are very damaging and the cover spots here are limited and only temporary because his shots can break them. You can roll under him to buy some time to reload or switch weapons while he turns around.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/04.jpg Xylem (B)

Clear Lumenosynthetic Reactor 2.

 

See “Phloem” below.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/10.jpg Phloem (B)

Clear Lumenosynthetic Reactor 2 on Hard.

 

Story Related. You’ll unlock this after clearing Scene 9. An easy way to end the boss fight quickly is to make sure you pickup the Bloodclaw in the first room of the level. When the fight starts, run past Thanatos and up the bridge on the right to the Reactor then whack away with the Bloodclaw equipped. You can end it in less than 30 secs.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/05.jpg Fetus (B)

Clear The Womb.

 

See “Breach” below.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/11.jpg Breech (B)

Clear The Womb on Hard.

 

Story Related. You’ll unlock this after clearing Scene 0-2 on Hard. Play on Easy mode up to the last checkpoint, quit to the Main Menu then choose "Continue" but switch to Hard mode. Complete the chapter to get both related difficulty trophies.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/35.jpg What a Pal (B)

Don't let any teammates who were setting charges go down during the final battle in The Womb.

 

This is the final scene where your two allies are planting charges on the womb on opposite sides and you will need to circle around keep the enemies off their backs. This is best done on Easy difficulty of course. There’s plenty of ammo around and your MG should suffice, I even did it using Melee attacks only.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/29.jpg Warrior (B)

Defeat Thanatos on Hard in 1 minute 30 seconds or less.

 

Right at the start of Scene 10 you’ll fight Thanatos in a room filled with exploding Red Spots on the ground. Aim for these spots with the Revenant or any MG whenever he is near one and you’ll beat him easily.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/30.jpg Matador (B)

Kill the Dreadnought on Hard in 2 minutes or less.

 

The Dreadnought is a bull-like boss you encounter in Scene 10-2. This boss is very easy because all you have to do is use Combo Throw and fling Filena at him. In fact, anytime he tries to grab Filena you should use this move to get her out of harm’s way and score a hit for you at the same time. He only has two attacks where he either charges at you or he flings red explosives in a small area and tries to smash you afterwards, both are easy to avoid by rolling away. The red explosives can damage him as well if you lure him to it, but even on Hard you only need 5-6 Combo Throws to bring him down.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/37.jpg Fight Fire with Fire (B)

Shoot down 10 projectiles from the Raven.

 

See “Nevermore” below.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/31.jpg Nevermore (B)

Kill the Raven on Hard in 2 minutes or less.

 

The Raven is the boss in Scene 11. He’s a little challenging but not too difficult. When he’s flying in circles he’ll shoot red exploding orbs at you from his tail. You can roll away or shoot these orbs for the “Fight Fire with Fire” trophy. If he stops midway during flight and turns, that means he’s about to use his tail to cut a straight line. You can use the opportunity to shoot the orange parts of his wings and evade just before he charges at you because it’s a one-hit kill. Sometimes he will perform strafing runs shooting with a gun under his belly, or stop above your platform and shoot tendrils into the ground, which explode shortly. Shoot at his wings and roll away when the tendrils turn red which indicates they’re about to explode because it deals massive damage.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/32.jpg Entropy (B)

Defeat Chaos (Thanatos II) on Hard in 1 minute 30 seconds or less.

 

In Scene 12, this is during the fight where Thanatos is transformed and introduces himself as Chaos. He has two attacks that you need to watch out for, a blue orb projectile that he shoots at you and deals a lot of damage, and a annoying red orb that he generates in his hand and explodes which kills you if you’re near him at that point. Filena is here to assist you. I had the Venom MG and Inferno Rocket Launcher here, and my strategy is to empty a clip of the MG or shoot two rockets and then Combo Throw while it’s reloading. Keep on the move and roll away if he comes after you. Filena can interrupt his red orb attack but he’ll likely launch a second one immediately so if you see the second one coming immediately use Combo Throw to get her away and score a hit at the same time.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/33.jpg Release (B)

Defeat Diablosis Soma (Thanatos III) on Hard in 3 minutes 30 seconds or less.

 

Again still in Scene 12, Thanatos goes through a second transformation into a big huge ugly thing. This is definitely a very tough fight as not only can he damage you with his arm sweeps and punches, there are tiny bot things that shoot at you all the time. His weak points are the orange spots around his body. If you see juice squirting out of the spot, it means you’re hitting it for maximum damage as opposed to minimal damage if nothing is coming out.

 

Right infront where you begin is the 1st spot. Destroy the first spot, and then run up (hold :cross:) the winding path to your right, picking up the MG on the way. Stick to the right wall to avoid an incoming arm that will hit you very hard.

 

You will come to an obstacle that you need to jump over and high wall on your left. Here you should be able to see the 2nd Spot just under the arm nearest to you. He will move back the arm and the spot will move away, but you still should be able to target it. He will be swinging his arm but if you stayed at the spot where you jumped over you should be able to avoid it. Once his arm has passed immediately move forward but don’t jump over the next obstacle, look to your left and you can target the spot, burst it.

 

Next, jump over the obstacle and quickly race away while picking up the ammo box on the way. Remember you can reload and run at the same time. The 3rd spot is again under one of the arms and there will be a high wall that you can use for cover. Stay on the left side of the wall and shoot it, if he grabs the high wall, run to the right side. If he lifts his arm instead, stay on the left as he will be punching the right side.

 

Destroy the 3rd spot, jump the gap and you’ll come across a shotgun before another gap. Jump this second gap, and now you can see his face. The 4th spot is on his left arm up here. Again there’s a high wall for cover, stay on the right side and you’ll be able to target the weak spot. When he pulls back his arm, he’s about to punch the right side of the wall, so roll away.

 

Once done, race up and away, leap over an obstacle, and then you will come to the back of his head. There should be two high walls with a lower wall in between. The 5th and final spot is behind his neck. Run between the two high walls and unleashed everything you got and hopefully you did this under par time.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/06.jpg Clear Your Mind (B)

Clear Cavitas Cranii.

 

See “Subdural Hematoma” below.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/12.jpg Subdural Hematoma (B)

Clear Cavitas Cranii on Hard.

 

Story Related. You’ll unlock this after clearing Scene 12 on Hard. Play on Easy mode up to the last checkpoint, quit to the Main Menu then choose "Continue" but switch to Hard mode. Complete the chapter to get both related difficulty trophies.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/07.jpg Enlightenment (B)

Clear The Seed of Gnosis.

 

Story Related. You’ll unlock this after clearing the final chapter Scene 13. Complete the chapter on Hard mode to get this trophy and Death & Rebirth trophy below if you've completed the specified chapters on Hard mode earlier.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/13.jpg Death & Rebirth (S)

Clear the entire game on Hard.

 

You do NOT have the beat the entire game on Hard mode, only these specific chapters: Scenes 2, 6, 9, 0-2, 12 and 13. You can start the chapter on Easy mode, play up to the last checkpoint and quit to the Main Menu. Select "Continue" in the Main Menu but choose Hard difficulty and you'll resume from your last checkpoint in the same chapter, complete it to get the trophies (Credits to OneChance). Pull out all the stops and use whatever it takes to dispose of enemies. Fight smartly by taking cover and observe what weapons the enemies are using so you don’t get blown to bits, especially those with Reapers, Grenade Launchers or Rockets Launchers.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/34.jpg Trusty Sidearm (S)

Clear the entire story using only the Revenant.

 

The Revenant is your default starting weapon and you press :up: to choose it. You MUST use the Revenant only for all Scenes except for Scenes 0-1 and 0-2 where you do not have access to it. I recommend doing this on your Easy playthrough where 3-4 shots will be enough to kill any enemy and you automatically lock onto enemies with :l1:. Doing this on any other difficulties is very frustrating and suicidal.

 

You CAN use Filena’s Combo Throw and Combo Melee Attacks, Turrets and your own Melee to kill enemies.

 

 

Kill Trophies

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/14.jpg Hunter (B)

Kill 500 enemies.

 

See “Predator” below.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/15.jpg Predator (B)

Kill 1000 enemies.

 

Pretty self explanatory, you should unlock these trophies in your first playthrough itself. Kills are still added to the total even if you die and restart from checkpoint.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/16.jpg Headache (B)

Kill 200 enemies with headshots.

 

The MGs and Snipers are the best weapons for this. Most of the time when you score a headshot the camera will zoom-in showing the slow-mo kill effect or Syd will comment on it.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/20.jpg Steady, Steady... (B)

Shoot an enemy with a Plasma Lancer from 50m.

 

You can get this in Scene 2 right at the beginning, aim your sniper rifle at one of the beam-shooting things on the gate and shoot it, you don’t even have to destroy it to unlock this.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/21.jpg Getting Intimate (B)

Kill 100 enemies with melee attacks using the Bloodcleaver.

 

The Bloodcleaver is a weapon that you can find starting Scene 9. Shooting the weapon doesn’t do much damage but your melee damage will be increased when equipping it. When you launch a melee attack you will see a black slashing effect. A good place to farm this is in Scene 0-2 The Womb, during the final fight where you protect your allies while they are setting the charges. There is a Bloodcleaver lying on the ground to your left if you didn’t pick it up earlier.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/22.jpg Five Birds, One Stone (B)

Hit 5 enemies with one shot from the Ifrit.

 

An easy place to do this is in Scene 8. After clearing the first two rooms, you enter a wide open area where you need to destroy 3 security cores. From where you start, turn left and 4 Nosferatu soldiers will appear. Wait a while and when you see 2 flying bots coming from their right quickly aim the Ifrit at the group and hope you hit 5 of them. Remember the requirement is just to hit, not necessarily kill. If you fail you can restart from checkpoint again.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/23.jpg Killing Connoisseur

Kill 10 enemies with every firearm Syd can equip. (Melee kills don't count.)

 

There are lots of weapons in this game and stronger variations of the same gun as your progress through the story. You need to kill 10 enemies with each variation in every category. Melee kills while equpping any weapon DON'T count for this trophy including the Bloodcleaver Claw Gun. This is a list of weapons arranged in the order of encountering them in the story. This game will track your progress across multiple playthroughs.

 

Revenant (Sidearm) – Starting weapon

Gravedigger (MG)

Impulse (Shotgun)

Plasma Lancer (Sniper Rifle)

Hall Launcher (Grenade Launcher)

Viper (Rocket Launcher)

Thornshade (MG), Venom (MG)

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/17.jpg Major League (B)

Land 200 combo throws.

 

You can do this only whenever Filena is around. On the bottom right of your screen you will see a blue circle. Hold :l2: whenever you are near Filena to throw her at an enemy and kill it, or tap :l2: for her to stun them. It takes a short while to recharge this move then you can use it again. Beware of missing your throw or throwing her too far as she won’t be able to hit enemies, and also if you throw her into a group of enemies she may get knocked out for sometime. Most common enemies will die in 1 hit, but stronger enemies will require 2 throws.

 

Your Combo Throws count stacks in across multiple playthroughs. A good place to farm this is in the last chapter Scene 13. There will be unlimited Clones coming at you one at a time as long as you don't shoot the Core in the middle.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/19.jpg Ninja Style (B)

Filena killed 50 enemies.

 

Filena is your companion in this game and she will independently engage enemies without your command. She will either kill an enemy by shooting or melee herself, or you can perform a combo throw which results in a kill.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/18.jpg Cut a Rug (B)

Land 100 full combo attacks. (3 consecutive hits)

 

Whenever you are with Filena, press :square: to start a melee move, then quickly press :triangle: or :square: when the circle on the bottom right of your screen flashes pink, then :triangle: or :square: again when it flashes pink for a second time to pull off a 3 hit melee combo. All 3 hits must land on an enemy to count. A good place to farm this is in Scene 8 on Easy difficulty, where you immediately face a brute at the beginning of the chapter. Run up to him and do a full 3 hit combo to kill him, then pause the game and select Retry and repeat this process again and again until you unlock the trophy.

 

 

Collectible Trophies

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/24.jpg Privacy Issues (B)

Destroy 1 Watcher. (1/50)

 

See “Leave me Alone” below.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/25.jpg Stop Looking At Me! (S)

Destroy 20 Watchers. (20/50)

 

See “Leave me Alone” below.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/26.jpg Leave Me Alone! (G)

Destroy 50 Watchers. (50/50)

 

Watchers are floating orbs that have a green glow around them, most of the time you will find one each time you are thrown into a fight. The first one you will encounter comes after a scene where a building collapses. After destroying a watcher, you MUST progress far enough to a checkpoint to have the game save your progress or it won't be recorded. Here’s a collectible guide I’ve made for every Watcher:

 

 

 

Multiplayer Trophies

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/47.jpg Lone Gunman (B)

Kill all members of the opposing team alone. (8-player Team Battle)

 

Team Battles actually refer to the match type "Dead or Alive" in this game. You need to get a full room of 8 players (4 on each team) then you kill each member of the opposing team once for this trophy, which unlocks at the end of the match.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/48.jpg All Mine (B)

Kill all other players in an 8-player Deathmatch.

 

You need a full room of 8 players in an Extermination match type which plays out like the standard Free For All Deathmatch. Kill every other player once and the trophy unlocks at the end of the round.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/49.jpg On a Roll (B)

Kill 10 opponents in a row during one match.

 

In any match type, you need to kill 10 opponents in a row without dying even once. Trophy unlocks at the end of the round.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/50.jpg Killing Spree (B)

Kill 20 opponents in one match.

 

In any match type, you just need to kill a total of 20 opponents. Trophy unlocks at the end of the round.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/371/51.jpg Triage (B)

Revive 10 teammates in one match.

 

In this game, after taking enough beating (as long as its not a headshot) a player will kneel down on the floor and anyone can finish him off by shooting or melee-ing. However, if a teammate of the downed player reaches him first, he will automatically revive the downed player. Pretty hard to pull this off in a normal game due to the very small community and players will always finish off the guy immediately, so its best to boost this.

Obtain the rank of Novice.

 

Accumulate 4,000 points to obtain this rank. Also see "Immortal" below.

Accumulate 1,000,000 points to obtain this rank. Each time you kill an enemy you are awarded points based on the difference in rank between the two of you and if you have a kill streak multiplier going on. I don't know how the points or multiplier are calculated because it seems pretty random but higher numbers to me. Your points are accumulated throughout all your games and you can check your total at the ranking screen or on the player list menu in the game lobbies.

 

If you intend to boost this (and I don't see any other method), I urge you to read this POST for very important and critical info or you'll never make any substantial progress in your efforts.

Multiplayer Boosting Guide

 

At the time of this post, the game has been out about 1.5 months and there are barely over 20 active players in the game, so that speaks volumes on how you're (ever) going to achieve these trophies.

 

In ranked matches, you gain anywhere between 100-500 points depending on if you have a kill streak multiplier going and the difference in rank between you and the target. The developers actually implemented some sort of anti-boosting/penalty system and it works by detecting how many points you get each round.

 

Starting from beginning up till Berserker rank, if you go over 20,000++ points a round a penalty system kicks in and actually deducts points or gives you a negative score instead, which is pretty ridiculous.

 

For example: Lets say you have a 100,000 total rank score. If you score 19,900 points, those points get added to your total rank score, which brings it up to 119,900. But if you reach 21,000 or more, instead you get 21,000 points deducted from your total score, bringing it down to 79,000. Yep, you heard me right.

 

Note: By the way the score board only appears at the end of the match so you have no way to track your points earned during the match.

 

The higher your current rank, the higher your safety limit is. Players starting from scratch might have the safety limit about 15,000 which is about equivalent to only you killing everyone else for 2-3 minutes per match. As you go higher, the threshold increases and you'll be able to do 5 minutes per match and later full matches dedicated to boosting you only. Obviously you'll need to take turns with people in your team, no one wants to be left out. Here's a confirmed list of the points safety limit that was obtained via trial n error across many games.

 

New players - Commando rank: 15,000

Commando - Berserker rank: 25,000

Storm rank: 31,000

 

 

To lay it out briefly, here's some simple instructions:

 

1. Get a team of 6 people. The game can hold up to 8 people but it gets pretty unstable and some people might get disconnected alot. Yes, seriously, even with 8 people only. It is THAT bad. You only rank up in Executioner/Dead or Alive matches and Executioner is the best one because its Free-For-All Deathmatch, which has a standard time limit of 10 minutes. For the map you should choose "The Great Hall" and everyone just jumps down from where they spawn to the lowest floor in the middle.

 

2. One person from the group will be designated booster and everyone lines up infront of him to let him kill using Headshots only. He gains points depending on the difference in ranks between him and the target. So if he killed a higher ranked target he gets more points, killing lower ranked targets nets lower points. Headshots net more points and will also contribute to a hidden point/streak multiplier.

 

3. Depending on your team member's individual ranks, Newbies up to Commando ranks should only get 2 minutes sessions, and your team will take turns. Elite and Slayer ranks can probably do 5 minute sessions, and Berserker rank onwards can do the full 10 minutes.

 

4. If you pre-ordered the game in the US/EU, you probably have a code for a Shira gun that will come in handy as it has high damage. Have the person with this gun drop it for the person that's boosting.

 

5. Rinse and repeat, take turns as necessary. It probably helps to boost one or two people to a much much higher rank from the rest as he will be worth more points to the others when their turn comes. Just make sure that person with the higher rank is trustworthy and won't abandon you when they've achieved their trophies.

Thanks for the guide it helped alot. I dont know if people know this but the trophies that require you to beat them on hard you can choose chapter select and play on easy then when you are at the end of that chapter do not complete it but exit to menu go to continue and choose hard. Now just beat the last part of the chapter and trophy should unlock. It worked for me.

I also received the death and rebirth trophy by just doing the chapters that required beating them on hard and it unlocked for me so you dont have to play the entire game on hard

You're saying you only did certain chapters on Hard and not all the chapters on Hard for "Death and Rebirth" ??

yes that is correct. I beat the whole game on easy first. Then i went to chapter select and did chapters 2,6,9,02,12,13. I didn't do them in exact order but i did complete chapter 13 last. I chose easy at the start of chapters (except scene 13 choose hard at start there are no checkpoints) and then when i reached the end of that chapter i quit the game via pause. From main menu chose continue and then selected hard to finish the last part of the chapter. The trophies unlocked for me on each chapter this way.

Thanks, I've updated the guide to reflect this.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW...

Got the RELEASE trophy missing only ONE second... incredible.

 

I was using my iPhone to mark the time. I was firing at Thanatos Head and watching the time at same time. Then I needed to reload and thought the time would end. Then the monster died and the timer beeped.

 

Well... after this battle I need some rest. Going to sleep... XD

I made some videos to help out on anymore who wants to finish the single player trophies for all of the bosses and some annoying trophies. Here's one video I'm just gonna post up.

I'll probably make a new thread based on the bosses or kills or anything else that has to do with the game.

I add the Collectible video to the Collectible guide, and video of the bosses, especially the last one would be great

Great guide, I just finished the online. Starting campaign.

 

 

I would recommend that when boosting you go in alphabetical order.

 

5 minutes per person if it's NOT your first time boosting.

If it is, you go 3 minutes & the other person goes 7.

 

That's the way we did it & there was no confusion on who's turn it was. No points penalty either.

 

Immortal :dance:
