Road Map:

Overview:

-Estimated trophy difficulty: 7/10 (Click HERE for Trophy Difficulty Rating Thread)

-Offline: 12 (7(B), 4(S), 1(G))

-Online: 0

-Approximate amount of time to 100%: 8-20 hours

-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 3

-Number of missable trophies: None

-Glitched trophies: None

-Do cheat codes disable trophies? No Cheats

-Do difficulty affect trophies? Yes

 

Introduction:

As the Overview says, there is no missable trophies because of the chapter select. That means you can play any chapter the time you want. There are no glitched trophies, although you don't get both difficulty trophies by finishing on Hard, so you need to play Normal first.

 

Walkthrough:

Step 1: Medium Campaign focusing on Chainsaw Kills:

First of all, you will play on Medium. You have checkpoints and the enemies are less hard. This will be an easy trophy considering that. You will try to get the "Grindhouse" trophy now, check the Trophy Guide for more information on how to do this.

Step 2: Co-Op Campaign

While many people save the Co-op for last because of being necessary 2 controllers, I convinced my friend to come over here so I can get this trophy. Another one easy, with the bosses being a little challenge, but very fun. Check "Backstory" for any tips.

 

Step 3: Hard Campaign:

Saving the harder for last. Actually, this one is not that hard. There are some parts like the Rocket Launcher and the Grenade Launcher one that are a pain-in-the-ass, but you will get it sooner or later. Check "I'm just that good" for any general Hard Campaign tips.

Also, when you finish the game following the Road Map (Medium, Co-op, Hard), you will have gotten all trophies, so, no need to worry with "Mow em' Down" and "Grindhouse"

 

Conclusion:

Shank is a very funny game with some challenging parts, but very enjoyable, don't worry if you are having trouble, you can check some bosses tips unrelated to trophies below:

 

The APV:

 

  • Stay right in front of the train cabin throwing grenades at the APV if it is close to the train, you won't get hit by the APV grenades but will damage it;
  • Kill the guys that are in the top of the locomotive and get his grenades;
  • When the APV launches it's missiles, stay in the back of the cabin, almost not appearing on the screen, but don't stay totally hidden or you will die/glitch, also, don't throw grenades, it's useless.

 

Denny:

Stay on the wall next to the funny head guys (slaves) if Denny is on the other side of the screen. Denny will come running and will grab a slave, jump from the wall and grab him. Repeat until you win. Easy as that.

 

Toro:

WATCH OUT, NO CHECKPOINTS BEFORE OR AFTER HIM ON HARD.

Toro follows almost exactly the same strategy as The Butcher (first level). You will do exactly the same thing. BUT, when he goes mad, he will hits in the wall and do a backflip to hit you. For that motive, stay far away from him even when he goes mad and hits the wall, you will have some time to grab him with his head buried in the ground. When you do grab, press :triangle:

Defeat El Raton

Story related, can't be missed. You will get this after or during the cut-scene after defeating the boss.

Boss tips:

His pattern is really simple. Just stay on the wall, when he comes to you, jump and attack him on the back. Run away, go to another wall. When he prepares to go mad and run at you, jump from the wall over him when he gets close, he will bump into the wall and get stunned, then press :r1: to grab him and press :triangle:.

Defeat The Butcher

Story related, can't be missed. You will get this after or during the cut-scene after defeating the boss.

Boss tips:

I had some trouble in the first time I fought him, but then I saw the in-game tips to shoot the hanging meat. Just do that and go wall to wall, when he gets close, just jump. Soon he will throw a chain at you, but it will get stuck on the piece of meat. Just grab him with :r1: and press :square: repeatedly.

Defeat Cassandra

Story related, can't be missed. You will get this after or during the cut-scene after defeating the boss.

Boss tips:

I had a little trouble with that one too, but she follows a pattern like the others. Attack she with any combo you like, but don't do this slow or she will cut your life bar. Instead, I used only my blades (:square:), attacked twice and dodged with :l1: and waited for her to start her combo, then just follow what the screen tells you to and press :l1: to counter-attack.

Defeat Cesar

Story related, can't be missed. You will get this after or during the cut-scene after defeating the boss.

Boss tips:

This one is harder than the other bosses, he's not so predictable. But you can use the same strategy of Cassandra. Attack twice with :square:, dodge with :l1:, attack, dodge, etc. The bottles will be very useful here, there are a lot of them to get some life back.

Take out 20 enemies

Take out 100 enemies

100 Chainsaw kills

I got it naturally. Just use your chainsaw as heavy weapon and abuse of combos like :square: + :square: + :triangle:, make sure your last attack is with the Chainsaw.

Another useful tactic is using :triangle: when grabbing an enemy and when you are atop of him.

Complete Co-op Campaign Mode

This is a very fun and easy trophy. Bad thing is you will need 2 controllers because it can't be played online. Call a friend with PS3 and ask him to bring his or, if you have 2, better.

The bosses are harder than single-player, so here are some tips:

 

Denny and Dusty:

Start doing combos, don't concentrate in just one of them. Your friend take care of 1, you take care of the another one. Combo him a little, back out, combo, back out. Follow this until they are one in each corner of the screen. They will do their tag move. Running to the middle of the screen. Just dodge to the corners and you won't get hit, then they will crash into each other. You grab one of them and your friend grab the other. But remember: Combine with your partner that each one of you dodge one guy, like you dodge Danny and your friend dodge Dusty when they are about to do the tag move. Don't try to dodge any of them or you'll get confused and they will hit you. Repeat this until you two win.

 

Masked Butcher:

He is not the same as the single player, so, go changing your strategy. For this one, The Butcher will get the explosive tanks for the screen corner and throw at the one who's close. But you have to shoot the tanks so he get stunned (don't get too close but don't stay too far away). When he is stunned, grab him and push him into a wall to do some damage.

 

SWAT Boss:

You have some soldiers company on this one. And you will really need each other. While one of you kill the SWAT soldiers, the other one fight the bald guy. Just combo on him until he grabs you. Then press :l1: to throw him to the other side of the screen (you will get thrown to the opposite side). That's when your friend comes. He have to go where the bald guy fell and grab him to do some damage (Don't take too long or he will get up again).

 

Bodyguard:

While one of you attack him with the Chainsaw from close quarters, the other shoot from the other side of the room. When he jump and is about to hit ground, jump too or else you will get caught. He will stuck his foot, then jump press R1 to Grab him. After you finish the grab animation, make sure your friend is next to the Bodyguard and you, because he can grab too!! 2x damage in one attack.

Defeat The Priest

Story related, can't be missed. You will get this after or during the cut-scene after defeating the boss.

Boss tips:

Angelo is one of the easiest bosses. You have to stay in front of the fire holding :l1: to defend. If he shoots at you, just press forward so he don't push you into the flames. When the screen goes slow-motion and he run to you, dodge when he tries to kick you into the flames. Then turn around and attack him to put him on fire. When he is pn fire, grab him with :r1:. Repeat until you win.

Take out 1000 enemies

Don't need to be grinded. Will come naturally when playing through Medium, Co-op and Hard. You weapons carry from another difficulty, so do the kills.

Complete Single Player Campaign on Hard Mode

Just play through the game on Hard and on the ending credits it will pop.

WARNING: Don't play on Hard first, some people told that they only got Hard trophy, so you will play on hard painfully just to do one playthrough and in the end will play twice.

 

General Hard Tips:

 

  • Pounce a lot (:r2:), 90% of the time, enemies will "let" you hit the other. Actually, you can beat the game just pouncing in the small guys, just pounce on one, kill, pounce on the other right away, and keep doing that;
  • In the big guys, use the grab + :circle: with the Uzi equipped, if you didn't unlocked the Uzi yet, use the Shotgun. (You unlock on the second level, use grenades to feed them if you are on the first level);
  • Use grenades on crowds, like the ones on World of Warriors chapter;
  • Use grenades Minigun, Flamethrower and Grenade Launcher guys, then use what I said to use in big guys;
  • Shoot dogs or grab them, try not to attack with :square: or :triangle:, you may get bitten;
  • Don't pounce into enemies if there are dogs or Heavy Weapon guys on the screen (Minigun, etc), take care of them in the ways I already mentioned;
  • When fighting Cassandra and Cesar, press :l1: repeatedly, try not to leave the button too much. If you press it repeatedly, as soon as :l1: appears on the screen, you will counter attack (You do this because the time you have to press :l1: on Hard is very quick).
  • IMPORTANT: On the Grenade Launcher and Rocket Launcher part, I ran like crazy and watched out for the grenades/missiles, but you can do like this: When there is a grenade/missile coming, stand still away from them, when they explode, move some, then stop, see where they are going to explode, stay away. That can be slower if you didn't died using the previous method but if you are having trouble, use the last one. Also, dodge a lot, dodging and your eyes are your best friends to stay away from grenades/missiles. Another tip is to hide behind towers from the missiles. I don't know if they can hit you behind the tower but never happened with me.
