hollomau5 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I understand that everyone seems to be having some trouble with the Curb Stomp trophy (and therefore the Merciless trophy), because only once in a blue moon does anything actually knock a Minion over. Well there are two solutions. One is to use a bat! A lot of people have recommended this. A power swing (pressing L2 + Square) with the bat will knock 'em to the floor around 50% of the time, enabling you to curb stomp that bitch, so long as you immediately drop the weapon. Problem: the best place to do this trophy is in Amanda 1-3 when the guy attacks you, and there's no bat here. Solution: I found that actually the best thing to do is as follows: - Wait for the guy to come bashing through the door and charging at you - Start with a jab (X) when he is right up next to you - Pause for a minescule amount of time (literally, like one fifth of a second) - Uppercut that bitch (with Square) It won't work unless you give that tiny break between the jab and the uppercut. But this does work 100% of the time so long as you time it right. I got my five Curb Stomps in six attempts under this method. Also, for the Professional trophy, since I didn't seem to unlock it in one playthrough (although I swear there were more than 20 locked doors...) just continue on to Amanda 1-4 and there's a door unlock there. FOR BOTH TROPHIES! If you get a successful curb stomp kill you MUST, repeat MUST continue onwards to the next Save Point (checkpoint), quit and then reload Amanda 1-3. Unless you get to a Save Point, the kill count won't be saved and updated. Happy trophy hunting! I know this got me my platinum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks this helped by letting me know a good spot to find a minion. I tried your technique but I sucked at it. I'll write down what worked for me: In Amanda 1-3 wait in position for the 1st minion to run at you. Then as he comes to you take a step forward and punch him with a light attack. This worked 4/4 tries for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMarts Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 What a gem! Spent well over a hour randomly whacking that guy and managed it twice. Then tried the two hit combo 3 out of 5 attempts! For the Platinum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UndeadSavoir Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 yes works awesome once u finally figure it out....on a similar note after beating the game i mean the mistake of using chapter select instead of loading so i had to completely replay the last chapter.....anyways dont make that mistake and its an easy plat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
