Keep looking and monitor the gauge/ scale on the top right. Notice the green safety line before the red zone?

Wait a few seconds for the scale to fall below the green line and look at her panties again (press to make it faster). Do this 10 times for a trophy.

Walkthrough is Ready for Use. Trophy Guide coming in a bit.

[ZonalRipper]

Nice work @tuffmuff.

 

I am having issues with "Only That Which Is Real Will Remain"

I followed the steps above 3 times now and fail the 60sec challenge but still get no trophy.

 

Am i missing something? the trophies says about activating easy mode in a trick section, so i don't get why failing would trigger this?

 

Any ideas?

So you're doing the following the steps from the start of Ep 11 to where it says the trophy pops and it's not working for you?

 

I'll have to test it tomorrow. It's important that you go back and to the rooms and look at the panties for game over again. It's repetitive but it works. I'll test tomorrow and see if I made mistake.

 

Edit: I tested today on PS4 and Vita and it pops. So I'm not sure. I would try going to Episode select and starting from the beginning of Episode 11. Basically you're wanting the game to think that you need easy mode activated from failing.

Edited September 19, 2018 by Tuffinz

[Mental_Disabler]

Got that trophy on the very first trick mission. Just fail it like 5 or 6 times and it will activate easy mode.

Was obviously doing something wrong, tried again tonight and popped straight away, appreciate you coming back to me and testing this.

[themindisacity]

Thanks for the guide, tuff!

 

One thing I think should be changed:

 

ROOMSELECT　　202

Press two times to stare at panties and get a game over.

This should be your last one and should net you the "You Got All the Panties"

 

(If you read the guide carefully, this should pop for you - congratz you have collected all of the panty pictures). If you haven't received it, you must have missed one. Don't worry, just finish up the game and once you clear Episode 21, you can use chapter select under SPECIAL in the main menu.

 

At least in both the EU PS4 and Vita version of the game, this trophy doesn't actually pop until midway through Chapter 19.

[FlamedLiquid]

the Panties trophy didnt unlock for me in episode 19. is there a wy to see which ones I may have missed witout playing throught the whole game again? I know theres chapter select but does it tell you where the missing panties are in which episode?

[GAZDAN]

Spot on tuff, thanks very much! achieved and 3 more English stacks to go.

[Zarofear]

I need help finding the 6th and last photo? Anyone know which chapter they are in?

[Zarofear]

I cannot find the 6th and the 32nd(last) picture. Anyone know what chapter they are?

I cannot find the 6th and the 32nd(last) picture. Anyone know what chapter they are?

 

It's pretty tough to figure that out. Usually where folks mess up is on the timed parts so I'd start with redoing those and see if that's where you went wrong.

[thebigTZ]

Got the platinum.

Edited January 22, 2019 by thebigTZ

[Schyzophrenic]

Got the platinum.

 

Do you remember where these were?

I did the game twice and I can't find the panties 6, 16 and 32 (the last one).

It seems many people have a similar issue finding them but nobody posted the solution... :/

[bodigard]

If you come across a solution let me know. I’m missing 2 and the final. I’ve replayed all the chapters and have redone the timed sections as well. Is it a save file problem or does the game auto register the panty because I found one I’m missing but the picture does t show up in the gallery

I actually started again by following every single step, even if I already had the trophies and also in one go. Not sure if it helps but I eventually got it.

Very weird tbh.

[diskdocx]

Thanks, walkthrough was flawless

[Tuffinz]

Thanks, walkthrough was flawless

 

Good!

 

 

Yeah all the folks having issues... I'd almost bet money its from the areas where you can possibly have to redo sections... you don't realize you have to go back further and it makes you miss some photos. Replaying those Chapters with those areas is best way to resolve that issue.

[GizM0 The Great]

Those trying to work out which pants are #6 in the gallery. They are Mikatan’s from Episode 10... the last picture unlocks automatically when all other pictures are collected.

[SinisterPledge]

Just wanted to let you know this is one of the worst guides I've ever had the displeasure of using. The gallery says fuck all about where to find them so pointing your readers to the gallery is useless advice.

 

Why make a guide if you're not gonna put the effort in to make it properly?

 

Thanks to Gizmo for being useful. Best part of this guide was that comment.
