  • Minimum number of playthroughs: 1 (+ chapter select clean up for remaining brains).

  • Do cheat codes disable trophies: None available.
  • Additional accessories required: None required (but you can use a PSVita to self boost your MP trophies instead of finding a boosting partner or doing it legit).

Please note that I will often use the following words to describe controlled monsters:

 

Units, Spawns - This refers to your zombies (:square::circle:)

Monster, Hero - This is your levelable character (:cross:)

Base, Leader - This means that I'm talking about your Mobile Base or Faction General (:triangle:)

Team, Squad, Faction - Here I'm talking about all your controllable monsters as one (:cross::square::triangle::circle:)

Released April 30th, the game came with high expectations as a sequel of Zombie Tycoon, the mini. Also as a promo, all plus members in the first week of release got this game for free in the US. The game looks a little like Age of Empires, but instead of building, you need to capture the already built structures by attacking them.

 

The "resources" here are roaming zombies. Each time you take over any house-type building, you will receive +1 or +2 max zombies for your Dead Rush (if you are playing on Tycoon's or Brainhov's side, respectively). Using your Dead Rush causes all your roaming zombies to go nuts and run toward wherever your cursor is, attacking all nearby buildings. Most of the times they will ignore enemies and get killed by them while trying to take over a building, so try targeting low populated areas for maximum efficiency with your Dead Rushes.

 

In some parts (Chapter 7, as an example) you must move your spawns and monster, but not your base because it would be swarmed with enemies that ignore both your spawns and your monster and attack it directly. It can be avoided by keeping your base at a safe place, but that would cause your farther spawns to not respawn. Besides that, the game is straightfoward and has all waypoints corresponding to each objective (for example, objectives with blue marking have a blue waypoint on the map).

 

General Tips that should be kept in mind while playing:

  • Hold :l1: to reset camera angle or tap it to zoom out and oversee a lot more of the map with birds' eye camera. This is useful if you don't know where to go or have rotated your camera and don't know anymore where is your north/west/east/south for trophy pieces below.
  • ALWAYS move your base if it's getting damaged. Its health won't regenerate over time like all pets does. Once the base's health reaches 0, you will get a game over and may Try Again from last checkpoint or Restart the whole chapter, which most of the time you won't like to do.
  • The faster way to kill any monster or any cluster of monsters is using all your squad to take one at a time, putting your cursor over who you want to kill and press :square::cross::circle:; you may also use :triangle: if the enemy is within your base's range but if it's not, avoid moving it because it will halt your units from respawning. Usually kill the stronger enemies first then wipe out the weak ones, this way you will lose less health with your squad overall.
  • AVOID moving your base to use it to attack the enemy or mess around. Moving your base will make your units stop respawning. Also if you move your spawns too far away from your base, they'll stop spawning too until all them come closer again or die.
  • If you have one or more units targeted to go somewhere or attack someone, all your units will go there, even the ones who just have respawned, that means that you don't need to reassign a target to make your new spawns go there.
  • All multiplayer trophies can be done with a invited player, you can find boosting partners here. You don't need to play a full match to count as a victory. Enemy surrender also count as a win, so this step can be done a lot faster if boosted (about 3hr for both players to complete all MP trophies if both know what to do). :dance:
  • Tycoon has the strongest zombies, but Brainhov has the quickest ones and they also come in double amount. That means that for each of Tycoon's, there will be two of Brainhov's. Although it may seems hard to use 40+ roaming zombies in Brainhov's MP Dead Rush, it's easy as for Tycoon. Keep this in mind before getting scared with Overwhelmed! (S) or Tycoon's Superiority (B).
  • Taking over any house kills their zombies, so instead of killing any roaming zombie, focus on neutralizing its house and once you take it over, it will start giving you more Dead Rush power. The same happens with you: if your house gets neutralized, its roaming zombies will fall. Also, if you neutralize any morphing-type building, it will stop attacking you and if you take it over, it will attack enemies for you. :p
  • Anything you want that yields exp for your hero, should be attacked at least once with him. You can give only one attack for each enemy and let your base or spawns do the rest and they will still give exp, but you really should use your hero because he really gives you an edge in battle.
  • An easy way to capture Badgeker before the Braintrust arrival, is creating two engineer spawns and moving them to the lighthouse next to the crane you have to activate. Now make your base stand still just below the crane's claw, until Badgeker start moving the soil beneath the crane's claw (clearly preparing to attack your base). Now it's the time to move your spawns to the crane control panel, activating it and capturing Badgeker. You can do this before the countdown reaches zero and he pops out to attack your base. His hitbox is huge so he doesn't need to be right below the crane, anywhere near counts.

This does not necessarily needs to be your first step, because you may start with multiplayer first, but it's not recomended since you won't get any kind of tutorials there and you may get lost.

 

The game's story mode is very straight forward. I doubt you won't know what to do, as most of your objectives will appear as arrows on the corners of the camera or pulsating circles inside them. Simply enjoy the game, it's pretty fun until chapter 5, but you may get a little trouble and frustration for chapters 6 and 7 and a fun final chapter. If you do, there will be a link for a walkthrough I'll make myself, but I really hope you don't need it. As you may have noticed, the game has only 8 chapters, so is pretty short but mostly fun.

 

At the end of this step you should have:

Know Your Basics (B)

New Beginning (B)

Like a Thief in the Night (B)

Convenient Alliance (S)

Homicidal (B)

Human Extinction (B)

Slowpoke (B)

Brainhov's Retaliation (B)

Frailty (B)

Tycoon's Superiority (B)

You may do this within step one if you want to, but I found it more fun playing the whole game while being entertained with it's story and doing the not-so-fun mopping part later, but it's your call.

 

At the end of this step, you must have:

Zombie Expert (B)

Fortune Favors the Bold (B)

Back on Track! (B)

Braintrust On Line! (B)

Skidmark to the Rescue! (B)

Bearhug's Awakening (B)

Badgerker Unleashed! (B)

Total Meltdown (B)

Humanity's Demise (B)

Automotive Dodge (G)

All In (G)

Think Like a Zombie (B)

Zombie Explorer (S)

Zombie Mastermind (G)

I thought this step was quite fun for a moment, but after 3 or 4 matches, really got boring taking 10~30 minutes per match, not even winning all, sometimes because of opponent disconnect. Anyway, you do not need to leave this as your last step, you can do it anytime you want, even before starting the story mode, although not recomended because you probably won't know what to do. Most of the multiplayer trophies will be earned in public matches while going for your 10 victories for each side, but if you miss one, check their description below for some tips about getting them. You can also boost all the MP trophies in private matches, inviting your friends, using people in a chat or using an online ID. For quickly reaching all 10 side wins trophy, your opponent may surrender as soon as the match starts, by pressing :start: and choosing Surrender. With this method both players can get theirs 20 wins in 40~60 minutes.

 

After this step you must have:

Rough & Tough! (B)

A True Classic!(B)

Slow Zombies Still Rock! (S)

New Breed (B)

Fast Zombies Are the New 'In'! (S)

Zombie-of-All-Trades (S)

Overpowered! (S)

Overwhelmed! (S)

Monstrous Evolution (S)

Versatile (S)

Obtain all Zombie Tycoon 2: Brainhov's Revenge trophies

 

Your reward for obtaining all other 36 base game trophies. Cheers :D

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/268.jpg Zombie Expert (B)

Check out every page of the Codex

 

In the first chapter, after some tutorials about moving your camera around, using your cursor and stuff, the game will require that you open your codex by pressing :select:. When you do that, open the Monsters tab, keep tapping :l1: or :r1: to read all about Badgeker, then press :right: to see Bearhug's stats and see all about him too, repeat the process with Braintrust and Skidmark, then press :circle: to return to the previous menu. Read about all Buildings and at last do the same with all Zombie Types, but don't forget to press :triangle: to see the opposite faction too! After you've seen it all, the trophy will pop shortly after.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/520.jpg Know Your Basics (B)

Complete chapter 1

 

This trophy is story related and cannot be missed.

 

You will get this one as soon as your zombies enter the second door, triggering the cutscene.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/2C7.jpg Fortune Favors the Bold (B)

Find the trophy in chapter 1

 

[spoiler=trophy1]Full trophy: Quite easy. After you open the first door, let your dead rush take out the policemen and enter the forementioned door. Go to the right, past the second door, then go down at the end of the road. This chapter has only the full trophy instead of its parts so as soon as you grab this one, your trophy will pop.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/B30.jpg Beginning (B)

Complete chapter 2

 

This trophy is story related and cannot be missed.

 

[spoiler=chapter2]This trophy will pop after you either survive the enemy wave for 2 minutes or get your health near 0 (you will win both ways).

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/1D2.jpg Back on Track! (B)

Find all trophy parts in chapter 2

 

[spoiler=trophy2]Base: First go to the leftmost abducted zombies with policemen (you must be above some kind of turbine or generator), go down to the left of the generator and you will find it.

Body: After Tycoon starts fixing the van, go left through the sewers, after some time a cutscene will trigger and policemen will come in your way. Kill them and keep progressing forward in the sewer, at the end of the road you are going to see your piece at your left.

Head: When you are going to take the van part in the sewers to the right of the van, go up before taking the van part. You know that is the right place when you find policemen in this narrow passage. Go until the end of the passage to find the last piece of this area.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/986.jpg Braintrust On Line! (B)

Find all trophy parts in chapter 3

 

[spoiler=trophy3]Base: South of the watch tower.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/449.jpg Skidmark to the Rescue! (B)

Find all trophy parts in chapter 4

 

[spoiler=trophy4]Please note that all this chapter's trophy parts are located after Badgeker versus Skidmark's cutscene.

 

Base: Immediately after the cutscene go left until you reach a Sports Center, the trophy piece will be on its bottom left corner.

Body: From last piece go north and you will find your second piece on top left of the building.

Head: Top right corner of the map, next to a bench.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/F1D.jpg Automotive Dodge (G)

Defeat Bearhug with 75% health or more

 

It's one of the challenges for this chapter

 

Not that hard after you learn Bearhug's attacking pattern. Avoid standing still, as you won't regenerate health while fighting Bearhug, unless you can kill two random-spawning Feral Zombies that may come from the top entrance before Bearhug can kill them with his car attacks. Before you can damage him, you must use :left: on any pillar or wall Bearhug is standing upon. He will fall down and you can give him three attacks before he stands up again and jumps to stun you. Attack three times and move away, dodge and try keeping up with him to see where he will be and make your way through his traps before you get a clear path to drop him again. Try dropping him as soon as possible, before he can shoot his cars. If you are fast enough, this will be a piece of cake. If he stuns you, you can use ROOAAAAARR (:up:) to stun him back and give a few more attacks. Use Waka Waka (:down:) do give a lot of damage everytime he is stunned, taking a lot of his health. If you lowered his health a lot and got yours full or almost full, you can give his 3 attacks while not moving to always stun him. After his stun wears out, stun him back and finish him with Waka Waka (:down:).

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/913.jpg Like a Thief in the Night (B)

Complete chapter 5

 

This trophy is story related and cannot be missed.

 

[spoiler=chapter5]This will pop shortly after you pass through the final gate with Brainhov. You should clean a route from where you save the hurt bear that you transform into Bearhug (if he could talk, he would say "daddy"). Avoid moving Brainhov from where you found the hurt bear before you clear a path to the gate or he may be killed by a random redneck while you are distracted with Bearhug.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/578.jpg Bearhug's Awakening (B)

Find all trophy parts in chapter 5

 

[spoiler=trophy5]Base: When you are making your way to find Bearhug, you need to go through a depression with a lot of traps; your first part will be inside a circle of them (you need to return here with Bearhug to get it because Brainhov dies with any hit).

Head: It will be below the huge arena at the center of the map, near the infinite-spawning soldiers truck, easy to spot.

Body: Go south after you get the last piece, you are going to find it among three enemies.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/EBC.jpg Badgerker Unleashed! (B)

Find all trophy parts in chapter 6

 

[spoiler=trophy6]Head: This is the easiest one, you are going to find this to your right just after you start the chapter. You may want to get it with your cleaners (:circle:) to avoid acid damage.

Body: Make your way to the central south part of the map, by the highway. There will be a Sports Center there. Go up from it and you will find the second piece near the highway side entrance.

Head: After you get to the upper-left part of the map, go to the sewer objective and stay close to the border of the map. Making your way a little to the south, you will find this one with little trouble.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/70B.jpg Looking for Trouble (G)

Complete chapter 6 without deactivating Braintrust

 

It's one of the challenges for this chapter

 

[spoiler=trouble]Probably the hardest trophy in the game, expect frustration if you try this in your first run. I suggest leaving this as your last objective, doing a run exclusively for this. You may need to run this stage a few times to get all trophy pieces, 30 minutes run and completing the chapter for the very first time. Although you CAN do all 5 brain challenges in your first run, if you know exactly what to do. If you want to deactivate Braintrust, simply put your base next to the array/satelite/dish that is located to the left of Braintrust. It will close its solar panels and Braintrust will run out of energy and his force field will go down, making this stage fairly easier. Braintrust is activated as soon as you clean and cross the acid below where the chapter starts. As soon as you cross it, a cutscene will trigger and another way will be cleared by his lasers. Keep in mind that you should always keep your camera on your base, making it easier to dodge Braintrust's laser. He will shoots a tiny laser that won't hurt you before the big one comes, you should move your squad out of his way as soon as you can, because it will kill all your spawns and likely kill your hero and take 1/5 your base's health. Braintrust's laser is the only thing that makes this chapter hard.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/0EB.jpg Total Meltdown (B)

Find all trophy parts in chapter 7

 

[spoiler=trophy7]Base: Make your way to the north of the map, then move to your left, it will be between the Martial Arts Theater and the fence.

Body: Make your way to the bottom right generator and go left once you reach it. You are going to see two or three houses and the piece beyond them.

Head: This one is quite near to the beginning, make your way to the first Recycling Center and you are going to see the sewer and across it there will be a Hardware Store. Your trophy piece will be between the sewer and the aforementioned Hardware Store.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/F15.jpg All In! (G)

Complete chapter 7 without destroying any cooling shafts

 

[spoiler=cooling]This trophy is not really hard, you just need to focus on the main objective of the mission, ignoring all cooling shafts. You should do this in your first run, then do a second one for trophy pieces and destroying all cooling shafts. This chapter gives a lot of trouble to anyone who doesn't know the right tactics for completing it. As some may have noticed, this is the chapter I've mentioned in the description, because you won't be able to move your base toward the fight, because it will drag all enemies most of the time. It sucks, but can be avoided if you sit it somewhere safe and send minions from there.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/112.jpg Convenient Alliance (S)

Complete chapter 8

 

This trophy is story related and cannot be missed.

 

[spoiler=chapter8]This is the endgame trophy. Remember the big robot that protects the city and kicks Brainhov's butt in fifth chapter's initial cutscene? BRAINHOV WILL GET HIS REVENGE FOR THAT! And the greater part is that he will team up with Tycoon to do that :applause:. Overall, the chapter is easy if you don't rush and take your time destroying each enemy and soldier trucks. Also, fighting the big grey robot (his name is Albotenstein) is not hard after you learn all attack patterns. I really didn't need to do more than two runs in my first playthrough and done all five in one go at my second playthough. If you want more tips about how to beat Albotenstein, please check Just a Scratch (G) below.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/062.jpg Humanity's Demise (B)

Find all trophy parts in chapter 8

 

[spoiler=trophy8]Base: You can find this one in the Tycoon's second area, keep yourself at the left border of the map and you will find this with no problem.

Body: Easily found in the bottom right part of the map when you are playing with Brainhov.

Head: Again when playing with Brainhov, but now after you get through the first gate. In Brainhov's second area, to the right of the elevator, not hard to spot.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/C88.jpg Just a Scratch (G)

Defeat Albotenstein with 75% health or more

 

[spoiler=albotenstein]This trophy is related to the last boss in the game, Albotenstein, at the final part of chapter 8. This is only hard if you are not used to Albotenstein's atacking pattern. He will always target his missiles at any green floor tile you get close to, so move away as soon as crosshairs appears on the floor. If you move away before activating the floor tile, you can come back right after and he won't send his missiles again. Other than that, you just have to be careful to not stay too close when he loses each 1/5 of his health, because he will cast a spell shocking attack that gives high damage to anyone close enough. When you are going for this trophy, you should try to go as fast as possible, because killing fast is equal to less Albotstein's attacks which means less chances to get damaged to <75% total health. Also, when you have lots of zombies attacking and a powerful monster attacking Albotenstein, you can just wander around for a while without activating another tile, because the zombies will keep attacking and damaging him until his health drops enough to cast the eletric nova. Your best friends against the eletric attacks are Braintrust and Scavenger Zombies, as both attack from afar and mostly won't be destroyed by it. Besides any of that, this is really easy after you catch up and learn with your previous mistakes.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/5DB.jpg Think Like a Zombie (B)

Obtain a rating of 5 brains in any chapter of the campaign

 

See Zombie Mastermind(G) below.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/432.jpg Zombie Explorer (S)

Obtain a rating of 5 brains in at least 4 chapters of the campaign

 

See Zombie Mastermind(G) below.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/814.jpg Zombie Mastermind (G)

Obtain a rating of 5 brains in every chapter of the campaign

 

This will likely be your last story mode trophy, as it requires almost all trophies above, except for All In! (G) and Just a Scratch (G). The first one is the opposite to chapter 7's 4th challenge (Destroy all 3 cooling shafts) and the second is a just a little harder than chapter 8's 3rd challenge as it requires 75% health while the challenge requires only 50%. The sad part about this trophy is that the challenges will only count as completed if you complete the chapter. If you complete all challenges in your first run, quit the game and start another chapter, overwriting your last save, you need to do them again (trophy pieces remain collected, but you have to finish the chapter to complete their challenge).

 

Please note: Any progress made after a checkpoint will be reset if you die. That means that if you completed any brain challenges and died before hitting a checkpoint, you'll need to do them again.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/317.jpg A True Classic! (B)

Win a multiplayer game with Tycoon

 

Win your first multiplayer match as Tycoon and this trophy will be yours (you should know this by this point, but it's the guy with the gas-mask).

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/9A5.jpg Slow Zombies Still Rock! (S)

Win 10 multiplayer games with Tycoon

 

Pretty straightforward, win your 10th online match as Tycoon and this will be yours. They may be legit matches or private, if you want so.

 

All online trophies can be boosted and you can find partners using this link.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/BCA.jpg New Breed (B)

Win a multiplayer game with Brainhov

 

Win your first online match as Brainhov and you get this one (you should also know this, it's the blue old zombie).

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/22A.jpg Fast Zombies Are the New 'In'! (S)

Win 10 multiplayer games with Brainhov

 

Pretty straightforward, win your 10th online match as Brainhov and this will be yours. They may be legit matches or private, if you want so.

 

All online trophies can be boosted and you can find partners using this link.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/011.jpg Zombie-of-All-Trades (S)

Transform zombies into each of the 6 archetypes in one multiplayer game

 

Pretty simple, just make any of your spawns enter each type of building and get transformed in each of 6 special types of zombies. You already begin with normal zombies, so you don't need to worry about them. You must do all 6 transformations in a single match. You can do this on your way to Overpowered! (S) or Overwhelmed! (S), as you are likely to be capturing a big portion of the map. Just don't forget to transform your zombies at every new type of building you capture. You don't need to maintain all buildings captured at the same time, so it can be done in legit matches too.

 

All online trophies can be boosted and you can find partners using this link.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/DE5.jpg Overpowered! (S)

In multiplayer, launch a Dead Rush of at least 20 zombies with Tycoon

 

First of all, you should select Tycoon as your multiplayer character. You don't have to worry if the other player has chosen Tycoon too, because each one will have different colors if he did. As soon as you start the match, start capturing all houses and shops that you see, each one will give you +1 roaming zombie for your Dead Rush. You MUST have 20 houses and/or shops at any given time to be rewarded this trophy. Once your Dead Rush meter reaches 20/xx, press :r1: and your trophy should pop in a couple seconds. Altought not necessary, you can launch more than 20 zombies and it will pop the same way.

 

All online trophies can be boosted and you can find partners using this link.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/12D.jpg Overwhelmed! (S)

In multiplayer, launch a Dead Rush of at least 40 zombies with Brainhov

 

Similar to Overpowered! (S), but you have to play as Brainhov now. Seems a lot harder to anyone who didn't noticed the difference between playing with Tycoon or Brainhov (besides their diferent colors). Brainhov has twice as many zombies as Tycoon, what means that getting 20 Shambling Zombies is as hard as getting 40 Feral Zombies. For both of them, you need to take over at least 20 houses and shops at the same time and launch a Dead Rush when the meter is full, what means 20 Dead Rush roaming zombies for Tycoon and 40 zombies for Brainhov.

In multiplayer, reach level 4 with each Monster

 

This is one of the only trophies which should prevent you from completing multiplayer really fast. Anyway, this is not as hard as it sounds. You can get a little more than half level for each redneck or enemy hero that you kill in multiplayer. As matter of fact, this will be a lot faster if boosted, just ask for your partner to send his Hero to your squad and attack any building near. Attack him using your Hero and what else you have, if you want to. Kill Rednecks around the map to grind more exp while you wait for your partner's Hero to respawn. Both can get theirs Heros to level 4 using this method in the same match. Otherwise, you are probably going to get your Hero to level 4 in any legit matches you win, just don't forget to kill rednecks as soon as you can, because they give a lot of exp and won't respawn again.

Kill a redneck in multiplayer

 

Rednecks are the big shotgun guys, they are the toughest and drop more exp for your monster than any other enemy or building (except for enemy heroes which wields the same amount). There are only four of them, but they are always in the same place and don't respawn. These pretty guys stand in both left and right sides of multiplayer map, two for each side. You probably should aim to kill them in your way for Monstrous Evolution (S), as they yield a lot exp for your monster.

Slaughter 500 humans

 

Just keep killing and you will get this one. I got it about chapter 7 in my second run, but I replayed chapter 1 about 10 times to grind this in my first one (very very easy grinding here). Anyway, if you can't reach 500 civilian kills after you get Zombie Mastermind (G) (which I think is nearly impossible), you can always replay chapter 1 for easy and fast grinding (about 50 each time) and get all 500 in about half an hour.

Kill 500 shambling zombies

 

You won't need to grind this trophy after you do your MP trophies, but if you somehow still need some kills, you can always replay chapter 6 because there will be a lot of zombies for you to kill, but I bet you won't need to grind.

Kill 200 feral zombies

 

See Tycoon's Superiority (B) below.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/2027/F4A.jpg Tycoon's Superiority (B)

Kill 1000 feral zombies

 

Just another kill count trophy, you need to play as Tycoon and kill Brainhov's dark blue (a.k.a. feral) zombies. You should probably get this in chapter 4 or before if you already have done your MP trophies. There is absolutely no need to grind this, but if by any means you could not reach this kill count, you can always replay chapter 4 to farm more feral zombies.

Use all abilities of each Monster at least once

 

I've put this trophy inside the multiplayer step because i think it's faster, but you can do it in story mode too. The reason I made that is because you need to get level 4 with all 4 monster in MP in order to achieve Monstrous Evolution(S), so you can just press :up: :right: :down: :left: after you reach max level with any monster to use all their abilities. After using all monsters' abilities this trophy should pop in no time.

 

This trophy has been reported as glitched for some people that fulfilled its requirements in multiplayer and still didn't get the trophy. While the exact cause for this glitch is unknown, this probably will be achieved through natural progression of Story Mode. An easy fix for this is to play Albotstein's fight (chapter 8), as all heroes can be used and already are at level 4, so all abilities can be used here even for Skidmark's :right: attack, whose target must be a building (somehow Albotstein counts as one). Use all abilities for the hero you get, then let Albotstein kill him and a new hero will come up from the elevators after some time. Use all abilities with all heroes and the trophy will surely be yours.

The trophy guide is done. I would like to thank sickc6 for making this guide possible. He was the one making me laugh when i got so mad and thought about giving up. He also kept asking me about when this would be done because he wanted to plat it, lol. Lost count about how many times i said that i was working on it. Anyway thanks and also thanks to people that didn't complained about how long it was taking to get done. You guys have been very supportive, thank you.

 

EDIT 22/05/2013: All images and headers were made by ESYLD, you can visit his emporium by clicking in the banner, he has many awesome jobs, I went there and got very jealous, so many beautiful things. Thank you ESYLD for making these in such a hurry for me. :D

EDIT 22/06/2013: Added how to capture Badgeker in the general tips section, even being a specific tip (exactly one month after last update :)).

EDIT 23/06/2013: Made many changes, mostly in multiplayer section.

EDIT 21/08/2013: Just searching the web, i have found that the .com has posted a trophy guide which was halfway copied from mine, you can check that shit right here. That guide is so much worse than mine that it doesn't have Versatile reported as glitched.

I'm quite sure that Versatile is strictly Single Player trophy. I'd done Multiplayer trophies before campaign run but Versatile didn't unlock for me when I do the requirement in MP. The last Monster you have a chance to control in SP is Badgeker and my trophy unlock right after use his 4th skill (while he is the 1st choice/default Monster in MP).

This is 100% correct. Has to be done exclusively in sp

No, that is not correct. I've wiped all MP trophies before starting the campaing and got my Versatile(S) just some seconds after I got Monstruous Evolution(S). You may check, if you want to.

But exactly because of this trophy not popping after some people completed it in MP, I put the trophy in the "Glitched" section. Not everyone has glitched this on MP, my friend has also completed this on MP. I asked in the forums about who got it MP and who needed SP and just a few glitched. My guide remains correct.

I believe the issue may be one of two things. First off, I don't think you can mix MP and SP. So if you use all powers on 3/4 monsters on SP, you may not be able to do the 4th monster in MP.

 

Also, I'm reasonably certain that stats aren't saved properly if you restart a checkpoint.

 

For example, I had a lot of trouble getting the brain for killing all the soldiers in Ch 3, as I was trying to beat Bearhug with 75% health, and reset there a few times. When I did the chapter start to finish without restarting any checkpoints, I got the brain first time.

 

Also, in Ch 7, I failed to get the brain for killing 25 rednecks, despite taking down all 3 reactors, and pretty much cleaning the board. I think that it would be impossible not to get at least 25 redneck kills. But, I did restart at the last checkpoints, which I think reset my kills (similar to the soldiers in Ch 3)

 

So, I wonder if people are losing the recording of the use of the monster powers due to a checkpoint restart?

I also thought that, but rejected the idea when my friend sickc6 got his trophy. If you check his card you will see that he got many MP trophies before versatile/monster evolution, both boosted by me because i'm a awesome friend :applause:

I had problems with that too, but them i figured out that i have missed some. Still, i killed Bearhug with 3~4 retries and still got both brains :o

 

Anyway, that was the only chapter i got problems, all the others worked just fine with brains.

Cool game, short but I liked it. The best part of online is that you can boost your PS3 and Vita. It's cross buy so if bought it on vita, downloaded on my PS3 and change the user on PS3. I keep inviting my other account and I got all multiplayer trophies in no time.

tnx for the guide will be using it to get through some of this game. i dont know if u want to add this to the guide but u can boost the mp trophies by yourself w/ a 2nd id on a 2nd ps3 or vita. did it that way to get all my mp trophies out of the way right @ the beginning.

 

I'm typing the boosting method right now, hopefully it'll be accepted at the boosting thread soon. I found it was not apropriated to put it inside the trophy guide, so i didn't put that inside the guide. That and the fact that i'm nearly over 10k characters in each post :p

 

Finally got versatile. Did as the guide suggested and completed it on level 8.

 

Great to know that my versatile tip helped you there :D
