One Buggy Trophy but Nothing To Be Concerned With...


Recommended Posts

Both me and a person on my Friend's List encountered the same exact bug, but as stated in my Title there's nothing to be concerned with. This is more of just a heads up in case it happens to you.

 

The trophy in question is called "Forest Zombling Slayer" which is achieved by killing 250 Forest Zomblings. You will encounter a TON of these enemies during the first chapter of the game. Be aware however that these specific enemies are only found within the first chapter, Skyling Forest (they can be best described as looking like little sackboys with a green stripe running across the top of their heads and usual swarm the shit out of you in packs. Within seconds of starting the first chapter you'll run into 3 or 4 of them on the first little bridge you cross).

 

If by the time you hit the first boss at the end of the chapter and it hasn't popped for you than it most certainly glitched. The fix? Just simply do what I did: defeat the first boss and once you're loaded in to Chapter 2, as soon as you gain control of your character exit out of the game and back up your save to either the Cloud or a usb stick.

 

Start your game back up and start a new game. About halfway (or maybe even sooner) through the first level the trophy should pop. Once it does exit out of your game and restore your save from your usb stick or the Cloud - whichever method you used to back up your save.

 

Backing up your save is optional. I only did it that way so that I didn't have to recollect everything and fight the boss again. I hope this helps. Enjoy your ridiculously quick and easy platinum! :dance:

Yes, it's definitely bugged. My friend said it should've popped way before you got to the first boss. After deleting both his game and the save data and starting a new game his trophy popped mid-way through the level.

 

I played the NA version first and by the time I had gotten to the boss I didn't receive the trophy. I did the method described above in my first post and mid-way through the level the trophy popped.

 

The final nail in the coffin that I know it's bugged is once I started this game again fresh on the EU version the trophy popped just fine mid-way through the level. So the common pattern here is that this trophy SHOULD be popping mid-way through - which isn't a surprise given the shear amount of these little fuckers you run into throughout the level, lol.

 

*ANOTHER BUG*

 

Same shit just happened, different level, different enemy type. This time it was Chapter 3, The Frozen Fortress. I know I killed over 250 of these little shits but no trophy. On my NA playthrough this trophy unlocked just fine approximately towards the end of finishing the level before I faced the boss. I also noticed on my EU playthrough that the trophy "Zomber Slayer" unlocked way before it did on my NA playthrough. No doubt the counter is off.

 

*UPDATE*

 

I just did a second run-through of this level, still no trophy. God what a buggy piece of shit this game is.

 

*UPDATE - MORE FUCKING BUGS! JESUS CHRIST MAN!*

 

Same scenario once again, different level (Chapter 4, The Dark Cave). But this time there are TWO kill-related trophies that just aren't popping: "Cave Zombling Slayer" and "One Eyed Foe". I've killed over 300 easily for "Cave Zombling Slayer" and well over 20 for "One Eyed Foe". I'll finish out the rest of this piece of shit game and than delete the game and the save and start fresh, seeing how I have no fucking choice. Gamers, do yourselves a favor and AVOID this buggy mess of a game.

 

My friend seems to be having the same problem, only he's playing the NA version.

 

*UPDATE*

 

After deleting the game and save file, running through it again I was able to pop all the trophies that glitched. Two platinums, one quick, easy game. Hallelujah! :yay:

Did either your or your friend return to the main menu or close the game while playing it before the game glitched? I'm wondering whether that's what breaks the counter because mine was fine until I accidentally returned to the main menu, then none of the kill trophies popped after that.

I platinumed both versions so at least it's not entirely fucked. I did have to do a second playthrough on the EU version though as that's the version that I had multiple trophies glitch on me (my friend had the exact same shit happen, only on the NA version while I only experienced one small hiccup during the first level of the game during that version).

 

Thankfully and lucky enough for me - and anyone else bound to experience these problems eventually - the game is so short that it isn't too much of a hassle.

Two trophies glitched on me.. killing 250 Ice Zombies and 250 Cave Zombies.

I killed well over the required amount.

This was on the E.U release.

Now for a boring second play through of this rubbish just to get 2 trophies I'd already rightfully earned :mad:

So I think made a mistake, I make 2 walkthrough, and kill 250 in level 3 and 4, simply doesn't pop it, I did deleted my save instead of the game. Somebody else with the same issues? Should delete the game and install again? Really don't want waste more damn time with that game.

I always back up my save(if needed) then delete it and the game before restarting. I just bought this so hopefully I can get through it without having to deal with this.

Damn, looks like all the kill trophies glitched for me. I play EU version.

Tomorrow I am finishing the game. I will delete the game and saves and will start right away 2 nd play only for kills.

Will let you guys know how it went.

 

It is really annoying as usually all the glitched trophies happen in the small games.

I had a couple of the 250 kills trophy glitch on me as well and I think it was because I paused and went offline then started again later so it's best to playthrough this game in one sitting, btw on the ice level if u don't get the 250 kills at the end it's ok to restart the level and the trophy should pop

Hey guys!

 

I've played the UK version with no issues at all,upon purchasing Na version,I'm still unable to get the 250 ice zombie kills.. What gives? I must've replayed chapter 3 6-7 times an still apparently not killed the required amount

 

Any way around this?

I don't know about just one being bugged, I think all the kill trophies are. After 2 retries I still haven't got the Forest one & I haven't got the Zomber one either.

 

Curiously, I've had the end of level trophies glitch. During my restart, about halfway through the forest level, the complete chapter 2 trophy unlocked, then halfway through the lava level the end of ice level unlocked.

 

While that's great 'n'all, I'd rather they popped at the right time & I got the darn kill trophies.

 

Man, this game is horrendous. It makes Orc Slayer look polished! ;)

Finally got the Ice Zombling Slayer & plat', so I can delete this compost heap of a game.

 

To do this, you shouldn't need to delete anything. just get to chapter 3. Play until you get to the gate open killing as many zomblings as you can, then go to the pause menu & Rewind. Rinse & repeat until the trophy pops.

 

Thanks to ggamer15 & AvengedEvil over on PSNP for this info.
