BishopFrost Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Is there any spot in this game that is a good area to farm the sheriff stars? I know its odd but thats all I am missing to get plat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosKnilch Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yea im at the same stage right now. I figured the whole first stage (as mentioned in the guide) and maybe the beginning of stage 8 should be good for grinding. Â Have fun .... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdogg2010 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) For anyone in the future I found level one to be best for grinding. The unskippable cutscenes are annoying but you can get 10-15k stars each time on level 1. Also at the end of the level once you hit the targets pause and restart the tale. It will save all the stars you collected and save on load times. Edited March 20, 2011 by kdogg2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharksfan24 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I found that the end of level 1 is the best place to farm sheriff stars. Its where you fight a giant insect that spawns 6 baby insects. All I did was use a charged melee attack on the 6 baby insects and avoid hitting the Giant Insect because each melee kill gets you 100 stars assuming you got a 20x multiplier. The Giant Insect will continue to spawn more baby insects which means you can continue to rack up stars as long as you avoid killing the Giant Insect. Even if you do get hit and lose your multiplier, its easy to get your multiplier back to 20x just by killing the baby insects. I averaged around 25-30k just by doing this method which made the 200k sheriff star grind relatively painless.

Donkey-er Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) for some reason the little crawlers stop giving me stars after about 3-4 waves... that way it's no use at all:S any idea what I'm doing wrong? btw is there any way to check how many you have? coz I did the first level like 8 times, so that should be 80K still no trophy for 100K trough... I did less then 20K in the entire playtrough? could be but, I'm not sure... Edited April 8, 2011 by Donkey-er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is by far the best method for grinding stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mJ_mSv Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 And you have to use melee attack if you did notice, you do not get stars by shooting them!, a fully charged melee attack is easy and will get you lots of stars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS4Trophies Wozamil Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 If you accidentally kill the giant insect, finish off the babies and once the object starts falling from the sky you can hit Start > Quit > Continue. You will keep all your stars and the giant insect will be alive again. Â Really simple and fairly quick grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosteeeh21 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Urgh, i've got everything apart from sheriff stars. I've not even hit 150,000 stars yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessinha Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I tried to use this, but my game freezes after 40.000 stars. It happened to me already 2 times on the same game. When i start again, I lost all the stars and I can start over again (( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegz17 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I just kept killing the bugs at then end of level 1 with a melee and it took me about an extra hour to get 200,000 stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal_Jaws Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 That tip REALLY should be in the guide... Few things i found out while playing. The reason you keep getting stars at the end after they stop appearing is the Mele Bonus you get for hand combat kills. For each Mele kill you get a bonus starting with like 20 stars. As your streak climbs it maxes out at 100 stars per kill. This is what you are grinding for.  Also, great tip mentioned above- if you kill the big bug, just pause, quit, and then contiue story from the main menu - even if you have beat the game. Picks right back up at the big bug scene with all stars you had and bug with full life. Actually quicker to do this, because the small bugs will start to drop stars again as well.

craigsps3 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Is it possible these trophies are glitched, I have played all the levels at least once and some of the levels 2-3 times and still do not have 100000. This is frustrating:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danron83 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) I will be giving this method a go, as I only need to buy the additional upgrades and obtain the sheriff stars trophies for the platinum, I had managed to complete the game without reaching 100k stars even though I collected the stars like mad. Used the method above and obtained my latest platinum at 10:34hours, thanks again for the tip:) Edited June 2, 2011 by danron83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First few babies give me stars but after the 3rd or 4th row of babies it doesnt give nothing but hearts. I didnt get hit by the mother either. I did it on hard mode and easy mode and same thing. what am i doing wrong? i only do that attack as well. Anyone else had same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD-WELLS488 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Yeah Sharksfan24 has the best advice to get this, that's what I did also, and it's a lot less painless this way, and by far this best way found so far. Just make sure you at least have Rango's Star amount for killing enemies maxed out, and you will notice a huge difference in the amount you receive.

Violator Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Why can I not do the charged melee attack? I am holding down square but nothing happens?? So I restarted the level and i could do a charged melee before I got the gun. Once I got the gun it wouldn't let me do it anymore. Is there some way to holster the gun? Or what could the issue be?

ClungePumper Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Do you need to have all 200,000 at once? or is it accumulated throughout the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
