Cauchy Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) If you have found this or any other threads that I maintain useful and are compelled to join this forum as a consequence, please give me a referal upon signing up. Overview Estimated difficulty: 2/10. Estimated time to platinum: 8-12 hours. Minimum number of play-throughs needed: 1.5 (level select). Trophy breakdown: 36 (12 , 21 , 2 , 1 ). Offline: All. Online: None. [*]Missable trophies: None. [*]Glitched trophies: None. [*]Does difficulty affect trophies? No. [*]Do cheats disable trophies? Yes. [*]Special hardware required for platinum? Two controllers. Road Map Introduction: There’s not much to say here. This is the video game adaptation of movie by the same title. It follows the exploits of Shrek and his comrades in their quest to foil Rumpelstiltskin's plan to ruin their lives. This game is clearly intended for a younger, less experienced audience and will most likely prove to be one of the easiest platinums available. It handles reasonably well and is so brief that you probably won’t even have time to criticize its lack of production value. As such, I highly recommend you rent this game. To further minimize the length of this game, I present the road map proper: Step 1: Complete the game. Just follow the story and proceed as directed by the game. You can go ahead and collect collectibles as you come across them. However, you shouldn’t bother trying to find all of them your first time through, since you have to revisit every level any way (except the very last one). The reason for this is that you unlock abilities as your progress through the game and each level, except the last, has collectibles that require abilities only unlocked later in the game. The only other rule you should follow in this play-through is to purchase the gold drop upgrade and all of its tiers first. By doing this, you will be optimize your gold collecting, which will obviously aid in the trophy that requires you to purchase all the store items. Finally, you may want to go ahead and knock out all of the “combat trophies” early on. These are all listed under that section. Step 2: Complete each level to 100%. Here you will have to replay each level until you’ve found all of the collectibles in it. As long as you’ve completed the game, you will have all of the necessary abilities to find all of the collectibles. The game auto-saves once you reach 100% in a level. So, to save a little more time, you can exit to the Ogre Camp, once you’ve completed a level to 100%. Step 3: Mop up. You should have most, if not all, of the trophies at this point. If not, look below at the individual trophy guides for any help you may need. Edited September 11, 2017 by Terminator Replaced a missing banner.

As time passes, the meter will deplete. Also, the meter will drop to zero if you get attacked. The earliest you can get this trophy is in the Dragon’s Keep level, as only at this point are there enough enemies to defeat. While it is possible to get this during the battle sequences in this level, I recommend just waiting until the boss battle at the end of the level. At the beginning of this battle, if you don’t bother attacking the main boss and focus on killing the indefinitely spawning minions, you will eventually completely fill up your meter. Just be sure to defeat them as they become available. Otherwise, your meter will drop. And, of course, don't forget to not let yourself get hit.

Cauchy Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) Cooperative Mode Trophies http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Ogre Outpost Complete the Cooperative Multiplayer mode puzzle in the Swamp See the "Ogre Mayhem" trophy. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Ogre Outlaws Complete the Cooperative Multiplayer mode puzzle in the Docks See the "Ogre Mayhem" trophy. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Ogre Mayhem Complete the Cooperative Multiplayer mode puzzle in the Peasant Village This trophy requires two controllers, but not two players, since the puzzle is very straight-forward and doesn’t require any dexterity. To have a second player enter, simply turn on the controller and press . Once the puzzle is completed, you can press to have the second player drop out. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Let's Have Some Fun Defeat an enemy in the Cooperative Mutliplayer mode See the “The Party’s Here” trophy. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg The Party's Here Complete a battle while in the Cooperative Multiplayer mode This trophy requires two controllers, but not two players, since you can easily defeat all the enemies for a given battle by yourself. I recommend knocking this trophy out during the first battle in the Swamp level, since this is a particularly easy battle. When the battle starts, just press on the second controller to have the second player enter. When you complete the battle, the trophy will unlock and you can press to have the second player drop out. For anyone needing help with these puzzles, here are some youtube videos found by Mastodon: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouD3SV_NZGY]YouTube - Shrek Forever After Swamp cooperative[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKTsFcUP93c]YouTube - Shrek Forever After Docks Cooperative[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6Me-Ft7CpE]YouTube - Shrek Forever After Peasant Village cooperative[/ame] Miscellaneous Trophies http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/1.jpg Big Treasure Open a big treasure chest I believe the first time you will be able to get this trophy is during the Dragon’s Keep level, since only then do you have the necessary ability. In any event, you will have to open up all the big (and small) treasure chests in the game to get the platinum. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/1.jpg Just Getting Started Get your first health upgrade Health upgrades can be either found in levels, as secret items, or purchased in the store. Get your first one to unlock this trophy. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Shopping Spree Purcahse all store items This is a sub-requirement of the “Ogre Camp Complete” trophy. See that trophy for more details. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Swamp Complete Complete 100% of the Swamp See the “Docks Complete” trophy. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Dragon's Keep Complete Complete 100% of the Dragon's Keep See the “Docks Complete” trophy. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Peasant Village Complete Complete 100% of the Peasant Village See the “Docks Complete” trophy. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Catacombs Complete Complete 100% of the Catacombs See the “Docks Complete” trophy. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Docks Complete Complete 100% of the Docks To get this trophy, you have to clear the level, find all of the secret items, and find all of the treasure chests. You should know that you won’t be able to get all of the collectibles during your first play-through of the level. The reason is that you don’t unlock some required abilities until later in the game. As such, such I recommend just playing through the entire game so that you have all the abilities, then you can replay the levels, as needed. You can check the progress you’ve made for each level by pausing the game and checking out the map. Most (if not all) of the collectibles are easy to find, as long as you investigate each area thoroughly. That said, the Docks level seems to be giving some people issues. Fortunately, Ace Attorney 86 from our sister site has created a chest guide for that level. Just follow this link. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Rumpel's Palace Complete Complete 100% of Rumpelstiltskin's Palace This is just like the other “Complete 100%” trophies, with the notable exception that you do not have to replay this level, since you will have all of the necessary abilities unlocked your first time through. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Ogre Camp Complete Complete 100% of Ogre Camp To get this trophy, you have to purchase all of the goods at the store and find all of the treasure chests. Note that some chests require abilities that are unlocked as you progress through the game. For purchasing things from the store, you should buy the gold drop power up and all it’s upgrades first. This will optimize your gold collecting as the game progresses, and therefore, minimize any grinding that you would have to do to get enough gold to purchase all the other items. I’m pretty sure the first gold drop upgrade becomes available after the Peasant Village level. After you’ve fully upgraded the gold drop power up, feel free to choose the order in which you purchase the other store items. http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/4.jpg True Love's Kiss Unlock all other trophies This will unlock after you unlock all the other trophies.

Blessorship Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the guide. The only thing it really needs is a collectible guide. That would be amazing.

Aeliana Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Aside from the docks (for which a guide has been provided), the collectables are not difficult in this game. A detailed list for every area wouldn't warrant the amount of time/effort required to write it up, but if Cauchy (or anyone else) wants to do so, more power to them.

You summed it up very nicely Aeliana. I can say with 99.999% certainty that I shall not be writing up a collectible guide, as this game has long since been returned to GameFly. That said, if anybody does decide to write up a detailed guide (or if one ever pops up on the interweb), then I'll gladly provide a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffExtremeHardy Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 The only thing I'm having trouble with is that I have 26/27 treasure chests in Ogre camp and I can't find the last one anywhere. If possible, could anybody just list where they are, that would be very helpful, thanks. Otherwise, great guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Wow. They put a whole 10 seconds into thinking of trophy design for this one. Good guide. Not necessary, but it's nice to see the trophies out in the open. You know, because they look so cool and original and all. One note here: for the "scare 5 people at the same time, etc." trophies, I would advise doing them against the pumpkins in the swamp. This occurs immediately at a save point, and you are attacked by 8 pumpkins who always crowd you. After you get the trophy, quit and restart with another character (or maybe you can just switch to another character and use the same ability, although some of the pumpkins might explode). A weird note: for Donkey and Fiona, I actually got the silver trophy before the corresponding bronze. Apparently, the game recognized "scare 5 enemy" before it recognized "scare one enemy".
