Introduction
inFamous is a game that you should be ready to play for a week at least. the trophies will not come quickly and not without some effort. You should be prepared to play through the game at least twice, once good and once evil. You should make sure that before you start either playthrough that you look through the list of trophies and are mindful of which trophies correspond to your karma and focus on only those. You may think that being neutral karma gives you options to be each but that is NOT what this game is about. Either be completely evil or completely good. There is debate about which Karma has the better powers so choose whichever you like for your first and second playthroughs as long as you do both karma paths and only one per playthrough.
Walkthrough:
Step 0: Decide if you want to go for 1 or 2 playthroughs
If you want to go for the in 1 playthrough then see this Guide by MrMinderBinder: LINK but if you want to do 2 Playthroughs instead, move onto Step 1.
Step 1: Karma Choice 1 Playthrough on Easy or Medium
This playthrough you will focus on the majority of the combat trophies. You should go through the main storyline at whatever pace you like doing the side missions along the way. Stick to your Karma of choice and do the corresponding side missions. If you chose to be good, you are going to be adding the stunts to your list of things to do this playthrough. See the stunts guide for opportune places to preform these stunts. This playthrough will net you half of the story trophies, the combat related trophies, one set of karma path trophies, and a few other miscellaneous trophies.
Step 2: Playthrough on Hard Following the Story Missions only
Do it on hard this time while focusing on the other karma path. It's not too hard to beat the game on hard but you want to do only the story missions until you get the "Hard Finish" trophy. Avoid Collecting any of the Blast Shards, excluding the first shard that you must obtain to proceed with the game, as you will need the experience later when on an easier difficulty setting. The same applies to side missions, dead drops, and Karma missions. Once you've beaten the game on hard turn the difficulty to easy or medium and begin your clean up.
Step 3: Clean Up On Hard File
Now that you've beaten the game, gotten Hard Finish, and changed the difficulty, it's time for you to clean up the rest of trophies. Start out by Collecting all of your Blast shards and Dead Drops. See the trophies related to these collectibles for a guide to finding them all. Once you've done that, being finishing the side missions which correspond to your karma path. This should bring you close to the amount of experience needed to purchase all of your karma related upgrades but if not then you should complete neutral side missions or simply let loose upon wandering enemies. You should have all trophies at this point if you've been following this map. If you still have a few left to obtain, do it now as that is all that is left.
