    Listened to all of Max's audiobooks on vinyl in their entirety

    How to unlock The Unabridged Version

    You will need to gain access to Max's brain in order to unlock this trophy, which you will do in Act 2. From there, although this trophy is missable, you will be able to unlock this trophy at any time you are inside Max's brain right up you are very close to the end of Act 4. So you can miss this, but you have plenty of time to unlock it.

    Once in Max's brain, walk around until you find the record player and the shelf of records right next to it. First you will have to examine the shelf and take the four records that are sticking out. From there, you will have to place each record on the record player, and listen to each track on the records. The name of the records and the number of tracks on each is as follows:

    The Eli Whitney Dilemma - 2 tracks
    Are you There, Great Bear Spirit? - 3 tracks
    The Happenstance at Ghastly Manor - 2 tracks
    A Killing Comes to Murdersburgh - 2 tracks

    However, this trophy is a bit picky. Rather than just listen until Max stops talking and then starting the next track, you will have to wait a bit before starting the next track. Some have said that they can see the record spinning if they look closely at the screen, and you have to wait until you see it stop spinning before playing the next track. Some have said that they heard the sounds of the record scratching when the track ends. If you are having trouble observing either of those cues, though, you can time out about 15 seconds using a watch or clock to make sure it's safe to proceed. And if you don't have a clock handy nearby either, I have found that you can watch your PS3's orange HDD access light. Once it stops blinking, you are safe to proceed. Also, for the "Are you There, Great Bear Spirit?" record, you will also have to wait for Max to stop crying (the screen will shake and you can hear crying noises while he is crying) before proceeding as well.

    Many thanks to inuyasha_523, Gogmagog, and TheGrimReefer for sharing tips about unlocking this trophy.

  • There's an easy way to make sure you played the vinyls all the way. In game settings, lower the music volume and set the Effects volume higher than 5. Now when you play the records you will clearly hear background noise and/or popcorn crackling sound (both typical of vinyl records for those who are too young to remember). When the noise stops, you know you can proceed to next track.
