Introduction

"Where The Wild Things Are" is a game based off of the hugely popular children's book and recent movie release. The game itself is mainly a platformer with basic combat that's geared more towards kids. The game itself consists of a main story consisting of 11 stages, plus includes a Village area where the Wild Things live. A good portion of the trophies in this game are collectible based and will require a little time and exploration to find them all. The remaining are mostly story and difficulty based, with a few very easy misc ones thrown in as well to round everything out. Platinuming this title should be extremely easy if you follow the walkthrough and guide.

 

Walkthrough

 

Step 1: Complete Game on HARD Difficulty

- When you start up your first game, select Hard difficulty and play through entire game on this level. During the playthrough, make sure that you focus on finding all the collectibles in each stage to unlock those trophies (make sure to check everywhere as you go through, break everything possible, destroy all the black goo piles you come across and water every plant you find as there are hidden items in all these spots). You should also be aiming to obtain all the Misc trophies in the intial run through as well as they are all possible and most will pop without any effort at all (ie kills trophies, swinging, etc). After finishing the game, you will unlock all 3 difficulty trophies and should have most of the trophies.

 

Step 2: Use Chapter Replay to Clean Up Missing Items in Levels

- After beating the game, you can use Chapter Replay to go back to any of the levels and obtain the items you missed in the first playthrough, as well as any missed Misc trophies. If you collect all of the "Geodes", you get the Treasure Hunter cheat that will show the location of hidden items and makes things alot easier.

 

Step 3: Cleanup Remaining Trophies in The Village

- In order to obtain all the items in the Village, you have to collect a certain number of items in the levels in order to unlock things around the village. Once you get everything in the levels, you will be free to finally get 100% of the items in the Village. After completing it, the platinum should be yours!

 

Conclusion

The main game itself is very easy to get through, even on Hard difficulty, making it a very easy game to platinum. The only difficult trophies are the collection ones as some of them are hidden pretty well, but even these aren't extremely difficult, just more time consuming for the most part. As long as you stick to the steps listed above, this should be extremely easy to finish pretty fast.

Find 95 Stars

Each chapter has a number of items that can be found. In order to complete all the collectible trophies, you must find all the items in all the chapters, as well as in the Wild Things village area. Collectibles are easy to spot as they have little stars circling around them (except the stars themselves, those are easy to spot on their own). If you pause the game in any of the areas, it will show you what items can be found in that chapter, along with how many there are total to be found. When playing through the chapters, make sure to check everywhere as you go through, break everything possible, destroy all the black goo piles you come across and water every plant you find as there are hidden items in all these spots. If you miss some in the initial playthrough, you can always use the "Replay Chapter" option from the main menu to go back and collect anything you missed.

 

Here is a link to a helpful guide of all the different collectible's locations: http://faqs.ign.com/articles/103/1038843p1.html (credit to Jodie Thompson)

 

Tip: Once you aquire all the Geodes, you will unlock the treasure finder cheat that will show you where all the hidden items are and makes finishing up everything alot easier.

 

Note: Certain items located in the Wild Things village area are only accessable after you collect a certain number of items in the chapters to unlock things back in the village. It's best to finish collection everything in the levels, and then getting the ones in village as everything will be unlock there and possible to get.

Misc Trophies

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/35.jpgOn Fire (Bronze)

Defeat 250 Fireflies

This will come as you play the game normally as you will have to kill more than that just to get through everything. If for some strange reason you do not get this by the end of the game, just reload any chapter and find a firefly nest where they will respawn from after you kill them.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/36.jpgGreased Lightning (Bronze)

Defeat 25 Lightning Bugs

This will come as you play the game normally as you will have to kill more than that just to get through everything. If for some strange reason you do not get this by the end of the game, just reload any chapter and find a firefly nest where they will respawn from after you kill them.

 

Note: Lightning Bugs are the ones that look like cockroaches that shoot electricity (There are fireflies that use electricity, those are NOT Lightning Bugs).

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/37.jpgThe Cleaner (Bronze)

Defeat 100 Shadow Creatures

This will come as you play the game normally as you will have to kill way more than that just to get through everything. If for some strange reason you do not get this by the end of the game, just reload any chapter and find a firefly nest where they will respawn from after you kill them.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/38.jpgJack of Hearts (Bronze)

Earn 4 Hearts

See "Ace Of Hearts"

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/39.jpgKing of Hearts (Bronze)

Earn 7 Hearts

See "Ace Of Hearts"

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/40.jpgAce of Hearts (Silver)

Earn 10 Hearts

If are trying to do the game in 1 playthrough and are collecting & killing everything you come across, this shouldn't be a problem to get by the end of the game. After killing, detroying and collecting things, you get blue orbs, and after you collect so many, you get an extra heart added to your life. Once you get your 10th heart, the trophy is yours. If you don't have it by the end of the game, you can keep killing enemies that respawn to keep collecting orbs until you do.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/41.jpgThree Square Meals (Bronze)

Be eaten by three different Wild Things

Easiest place to do this obviously is in the Wild Thing village. Run up to any Wild Thing, attack it and it will attack you back. Keep attacking it and letting it hit you until you only have one heart left. After that, hit it again and instead of hitting you back, it will eat you. Do this with 3 different Wild Things and the trophy is yours!

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/42.jpgWorst King Ever (Bronze)

Allow three different Wild Things to sink into oblivion

During the chapters, you will occasionally have to save certain Wild Things from sinking into a black goo. To get this trophy you have to let 3 different ones be sucked in without saving them. After the third one is down, the trophy should pop for you.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/43.jpgGymnast (Bronze)

Power-swing from three bars in a row

This will come in the very first level as there is a spot where you have to swing across a gap with 3 tree limbs in order to advance. (I actually got it to pop right before that by swinging across one branch, landing and then immediately jumping up to two more branches, so might get it even earlier).

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/44.jpgAllergen (Bronze)

Cause three different Wild Things to sneeze

There are pollen plants located in different areas in the game. When you find one, get a pollen ball from it and throw it at a Wild Thing to make it sneeze. After you collect enough seeds, there will be one in the village and you can use that one since you will have the most Wild Things around you at then. Once you make three different Wild Things sneeze, the trophy should pop.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/45.jpgDemolitionist (Bronze)

Defeat five Fireflies with one bomb

There are many places to get this, but the first place where you meet the fireflies that have bombs is probably one of the easiest since there are 2 bomb dropping firefly nests and two regular ones in the area to respawn them if you dont' get it the first time. All you have to do is beat a large (bomb) firefly so it drops it's bomb, run around to attract more fireflies and run back by the bomb so they surround you and get blasted when it explodes. It took me 2-3 tries to get 5 before the bomb exploded as some few away just before it went off, but keep trying and it will come. There is also many other locations with large fireflies and multiple hives around as well, so take your pick of locations to get at.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/48.jpgGlass Houses (Bronze)

Start a Dirt Clod Fight with multiple Wild Things

When you are in the Wild Thing village, find the piles of stones near a group of Wild Things and throw the stones at them. After you hit them, they start throwing dirt at you. Run behind another Wild Thing so it gets hit and boom, your done!

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/49.jpgWild Rumpus! (Bronze)

Defeat 15 enemies in a row in melee without being hit

This is the easiest completed in the first level as the enemies are minor. Just kill 15 enemies in a row with melee only attacks without getting hit (if you block the attack, it doesn't count as getting hit). If you having problems getting it due to getting hit during your attempts, and easy way to do it is to find a nest (if more than one, destroy all but one) and keep killing the one that spawns out of it until you get to 15. If you start attacking it when it gets out of the nest, it shouldn't even get an attack off, just don't destroy the nest.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/46.jpgCaptain (Silver)

Complete a Ride Carol mission without crashing

Title says it all basically. Just complete a mission where you ride Carol without crashing (or dying basically). Just watch in front of you to what's coming up and make sure you either jump, slide or smash accordingly. The only tricky part is determining wether a falling tree is going to end up being a slide or jump, but you should still have enough time to figure it out before you have to do it.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/251/47.jpgCommodore (Silver)

Complete a Sailing mission without crashing

Same as the last one, only this time you're on a boat going down the river. The river has rocks, ledges, whirlpools & black goo that can crash you. You can escape from both whirlpools & black goo by moving the right analog stick back and forth when you get caught, but becareful because alot of them are near rocks and ledges and when you breakfree from them, you don't always have alot of time to adjust course to steer clear of those. There are also stars to collect during them. I would suggest doing 2 runs for these, with one being to collect all the stars and one to focus on not crashing. You can do them all in one run, but it makes it more challenging as the stars are close to rocks/walls/whirlpools/etc most of the time. Also make sure you watch ledges with your mast, one at the very end got my mast and crashed me and I didn't know it could so keep an eye out for those as well.

Thanks a lot for the guide :)

 

Any related links for collectibles locations? I always left one star for each level.

 

Nothing I can find yet that has locations for all the items. Best tip I can say is to find all the "Geodes" as it unlocks the treasure hunter cheat and it makes finding everything else ALOT easier (you just hit select during the stages and if there's a hidden treasure near by, it will either show you where or point arrows towards it; I kinda just ran around with it held down and followed where it said to go). That is how I finished finding all my missing collectibles.

I used the collectible guide for the canyon river, but there is only 9 stars after i finished it.

It says you get 9 stars during the boat trip, but i can only find 8 there.

Already got the trophy for drivning trough without beeing hit.

And completed that part for like ...20 times. but there is no more star left.

any tips?

 

And thank you for the great Guide. :)

Should mention in the Guide that "Universe" 95 Stars is missable/glitched.

There should be 10 Stars in "CANYON RIVER", 9 during the boat trip and 1 on the platform after you free the monster.

 

But i played through the game 3 times now (with multiple clearings of "CANYON RIVER" every time) and always ended up with only 9 Stars total (8 during the boat trip and 1 on the platform).

A 4th time i started the game and only played to complete "CANYON RIVER" and only got 9 Stars again.

I missed one star on the river a few times as well. It is completly obstructed - you cannot see it before you move for it, and if you don't move for it, you'll never see it. Use your treasure map, though, and you'll see the arrows pointing to it (although even then, you'll probably miss it, but you'll know for when you restart at the checkpoint).

 

Remember, people - just because you are not getting a trophy does not mean it's glitched.

i've been using the guide and i only have 9 stars in the village when i'm suppose to have 10. it's the one near the electro fence. it says theres suppose to be a wall to break down but it vwas already broken and no star?

 

This guide may be able to help you.I used it to find all the stars when i played it.I can't remember the particular star you are talking about but look through the guide and try and find the section you are stuck on and it should give you the information you are looking for.

yea thats the guide i've been using. i guess i'll just wait till i get the treasure map cheat to see if its there. if not i'll have to start a new game.

 

also the make 3 wild things sneeze is glichted for me!

 

I thought it might have been glichted for me for a while as well s i had made more then 3 sneeze.But after a while of making them sneeze it finally pooped.Just keep on throwing the pollen at them to get them to sneeze and eventually you should get the trophy.
