Trophy Breakdown: 36 , 7 , 3 , 1

 

LittleBigPlanet 2 is the eagerly awaited sequel by Media Molecule. From the get go you dive right back into the world of LittleBigPlanet. Those of you who played the original have the option to load your player profile which gives you all your old costumes and levels you built. Because of the incredible versatility that this game has, you're able to play all original community levels (some 3.5 million!). The trophy list shouldn't create too many problems for people but it requires more effort than the original. Note that some trophies are listed as offline (such as Prize Collector and Uber Prize Collector) because although a lot easier online, if you own 4 controllers it's possible to do it offline.

 

 

Walkthrough:

 

The game is very heavily online orientated with its trophy structure so a decent internet connection is a must. You don't need an Eye Toy or the PlayStation Move in order to earn platinum. At the very least you'll need 2 controllers, however some trophies can be obtained offline if you have 4 controllers which saves finding boosting partners. The 5 difficulty rating comes mostly from the trophy requiring you to ace all levels. The approximate time to platinum is high because you'll need to spend 24 hours alone in create mode, although if you use the turbo controller trick, the active time you'd be playing the game will be around the 20-30 hour mark. It is possible to complete all story related trophies in one playthrough, however collecting all bubbles will require up to 4 people, and if you are going for ace, for no one to die on each level. It is therefore advisable to just enjoy the story once, then when you know the level layout, going for ace. Finally hook up online with players to knock out the prize bubbles. Throughout the guide where you see words in blue you'll find links to various other pages, the boosting page, prize bubble guide etc. The trophies can be broken down into the 4 steps detailed below:

 

Pre-step:

 

Step One (The Story):

 

• To begin with you'll want to play through the story from start to finish. Doing this will earn you the 6 story related trophies detailed in the story mode section.
• While playing through you will without fail kill 20 monsters for Monster Masher. Unless you are ignoring all prize bubbles you're likely to also pick up the trophy for collecting 50% of them (Prize Collector).
• When you reach the level Gripple Grapple take the time to kill yourself 20 times at the start of the level for Mortal Coil Shuffler Extraordinaire.
• After finishing the story you'll want to work on completing every level without dying for Ace Story Mode. After doing this for every level you'll have a good idea which 10 levels you wish to do for Aces in Spades. Be sure to check the guide for a way to make your life easier with this trophy.

 

Step Two (Online - Story and Level Creation): - Unobtainable

 

• Leading on from the story you'll want to do the 2 online story related trophies. These involve you getting into the top 50% and 25% of the online scoreboard for a story level. This doesn't require another player but you'll need to be online for it to count.
• Following this you'll want to move on to the online create trophies. Publishing your first level and making it a versus map as well as giving it a custom picture will unlock Step into my Arena, Community Spirit and Custom Badger respectively.
• After this create another level and put a level link in it. Link to the level you just published and then publish it to unlock A Series of Tubes.
• At this point you'll want to get your level on the level 4 level boosting thread for 50 Unique Players.
• Now you need to wait a week for Long Term Publisher.

 

Step Three (Online - Multiplayer): - Unobtainable

 

Moving on from this we'll work on the community related online trophies.

 

• You're going to need a boosting partner for 25 Online Versus Wins.
• Finally you can start to enjoy yourself. You're going to need to spend 5 active hours playing levels for U Know U A Playa.
• You need to complete (that is get to the scoreboard) on 75 levels in order to get Play 25 Community Levels and Play 75 Community Levels.
• Each time you play a level, remember to give it a rating (Yay or Boo) to go towards the 160 needed for 40 Yays or Boos and 160 Yays or Boos .
• After doing the 75 levels fully, search for the most recently published levels that have less than 10 plays. Join them and give a rating (you don't have to finish the level). This is needed for The Votarator 5 and The Votarator 50 as well as going towards the 160 needed altogether.
• Don't forget that on the way to the 160 ratings you'll want to Dive In 25 times with random people.

 

Step Four (Mop Up):

 

Finally it's time to mop up the remaining trophies, of which there are a fair few.

 

• You're going to want to go back to the create mode to work towards 24 hours of active create time for 1440 Minutes of Create. Having a turbo controller will make your life much easier.
• There are 3 trophies related to time and date. Through simply altering your PS3's clock in the XMB you'll unlock Who Needs Breakfast?, Just... One... More... Go... and A Game A Day Keeps The Doctor Away.
• You'll then want to pick up any trophies you've not achieved thus far working on the others. For example I'm positive you'll have changed outfit, but if not do that for Snappy Dresser.
• You'll also have a number of easy trophies to finish up such as writing a review for a community level for Journalistical and uploading a photo for Paparazzo. - Unobtainable
• If you've got 2 controllers you can also get together with another person who has two to knock out the double slap for Turbo Slapper and the 4x grapple chain for Grapple Hooked. Of course if you already have 4 controllers you can do this yourself. For a boosting partner head over to this thread.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/09.jpg Aces in Spades (Bronze Trophy )

Ace 10 different Story levels in a row

 

In order to ace a level you have to get through it from start to finish without dying once. You're best off starting from the hardest level you're going to try and ace then playing the next 10 levels backwards so you end with the easiest. Remember that dying resets the count so if this happens you'll have to start from the first level again. You are not forced to do 1 level after the other so you can pick and choose which you are most comfortable with. Please note that cut-scenes and side levels do NOT count towards your 10 aced levels - thanks mcnichoj-.

 

If you don't think you can earn this legitimately then you can use the backup progress technique. To do this you'll need to ace a level, then after doing this backing up you LBP2 progress. Now play another story level and if you ace it back up this new save. If you manage to die you can bring back the save you backed up and you'll be able to carry on where you left off rather than having to start from scratch. To back up the save press , select settings and scroll down to profile. From here select back up profile. When you want to load the save go back into the profile and this time select import profile. Credits to OldSnoova for detailing this trick.

 

The following are the list of levels (I used the backup way so order doesn't really matter) that I found easiest and went for. You might have found different levels, but these were the ones I managed to ace on my first story run through:

 

1. Rookie Test (First level in Da Vinci's Hideout). Difficulty: 0/10. Comments: There are no enemies, there is no fire, electricity etc making dying basically impossible.

 

2. Grab and Swing (Second level in Da Vinci's Hideout). Difficulty: 1/10. Comments: Basically impossible to die in part 1. Beware the electricity when swinging during the race in part 2.

 

3. Fowl Play (last level in The Factory of A Better Tomorrow). Difficulty: 1/10. Comments: Run. Run and don't stop running. You'll have to jump a few fiery gaps but it's ridiculously easy.

 

4. Up And At 'Em (first level in Eve's Asylum). Difficulty: 1/10. Comments: This is a stupidly easy level. You just have to make sure you don't get yourself stuck or you'll be squashed at the bottom of the screen.

 

5. Avalon's Advanced Armaments Academy (first level on Avalonia). Difficulty: 2/10. Comments: This is a rather long level, but you're not faced with much of a challenge. You've just got to beware the electricity. Take it slowly and you'll manage this no problems.

 

6. The Sackbot Redemption (third level in Avalonia). Difficulty: 2/10. Comments: Another easier level to ace. All you have to do is make sure that you avoid the electrical currents while on the bee. There is nothing on this level that can one hit kill you, so just take it slow as you move the sackbots about. If a sackbot dies it does not count as acing the level so only carry 1 or 2 at a time for safety - thanks deadmau5 for pointing this out -.

 

7. Gripple Grapple (third level in Da Vinci's Hideout). Difficulty: 3/10. Comments: You won't be facing any enemies on this level, but you'll need to be able to handle the grapple hook to avoid all the electricity. It's a fairly long level of 2 parts.

 

8. Kling Klong (last level in Victoria's Laboratory). Difficulty: 3/10. Comments: Part 1 requires you to jump over 2 electricity fields he fires along the floor. Part 2 you'll be dodging cylinders that he fires out of his house. This is straightforward. The last part is the hardest. He'll fire a line of electricity, firstly on the top of the screen, then the middle and lastly the bottom. Make sure to stand on the ledge when he's firing as you can't be hurt there at all.

 

9. Pipe Dreams (second level in The Factory of A Better Tomorrow). Difficulty: 3/10. Comments: Your only real threats here come from getting squished, and the enemies that shoot fire. You can run right through them without dying, just don't get caught by the fire they shoot.

 

10. Huge Peril For Huge Spaceship (last level in Avalonia). Difficulty: 4/10. Comments: This is a side scrolling shooter on the bee. As long as you have quick reflexes to avoid the mini projectiles, and don't get hit at all with the huge beam you'll be ok.

 

By the time I'd done all 10 levels I had died 4 times, 3 on Huge Peril For Huge Spaceship and once on Avalon's Advanced Armaments Academy stupidly. Basically I'm saying that using the backup method is a brilliant idea. To avoid errors, it is recommended that you check the Aces in Spades pin after every level to make sure that the level has counted correctly towards the 10 - thanks fatboyslick for suggesting this -.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/10.jpg Prize Collector (Bronze Trophy )

Collect 50% of Story prize bubbles

 

Earned while going for Uber Prize Collector. You will most likely unlock this trophy the first time you play through the story, without going out of your way to collect all the bubbles.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/11.jpg 10 Story Versus Wins (Bronze Trophy )

Win 10 Story mode Versus games against at least one other player offline

 

The first versus mode that you unlock will be Block Drop in Da Vinci's Hideout. You must complete the story level Bravery Test and collect the key to unlock it. As this is done offline you will need to have another controller to do this. Simply play this level 10 times and let yourself win each time. The easiest way to do this is to press the correct button 1 time then wait for the minute to run out.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/12.jpg Multiplier 5x (Bronze Trophy )

Score a 5x multiplier in a Story level

[lukey52]

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/13.jpg Multiplier 10x (Bronze Trophy )

Score a 10x multiplier in a Story level

 

The description is a little misleading here. You don't actually need to be playing a story level to unlock this. It is possible to do it in one of the side levels. The first opportunity you will have to unlock this will be in the side level Hedge Hopping in Da Vinci's Hideout, which you unlock when you collect the key in Grab and Swing. In order to build up the multiplier you must collect a number of the point bubbles without too much time between collecting each one. If you attempt this on Hedge Hopping, you will want to be as far to the left of the screen as possible when you start going for the bubbles or you'll run out of space before reaching the 10x multiplier. Another possible place to achieve this is during the level Flying In The Face Of Danger, in the Avalonia section of the game. When the screen becomes vertical, you'll fly through several narrow pathways with a ton of bubbles.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/16.jpg Monster Masher (Bronze Trophy )

Kill 20 monsters in Story levels

 

Impossible to miss if you play through the story. You will first encounter an enemy in the level Runaway Train in Victoria's Laboratory. If you kill every monster in that level and then all of the enemies in the next level, Brainy Cakes, you'll reach 20 in just those 2 levels.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/17.jpg Mortal Coil Shuffler Extraordinaire (Bronze Trophy )

Accumulate 20 deaths in one Story level

 

On the level Gripple Grapple in Da Vinci's Hideout, shortly after the start there is an electrified circuit board right next to a respawning point. Just run in and die 20 times and this trophy will unlock. This will take less than a minute.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/47.jpg Uber Prize Collector (Silver Trophy )

Collect 100% of Story prize bubbles

 

On top of these bubbles, you will also get bonus ones for completing each level for the first time, acing them for the first time and collecting all the bubbles in them but you will need 2, 3 or 4 players/controllers to access certain level prize bubbles, which are as follows:

 

2 People/controllers:

 

Gripple Grapple - Part 2 (Da Vinci's Hideout)

Bravery Test (Da Vinci's Hideout)

Brainy Cakes (Victoria's Laboratory)

The Cakeinator (Victoria's Laboratory)

Currant Affairs (Victoria's Laboratory)

Maximum Security (The Factory of a Better Tomorrow)

Pipe Dreams (The Factory of a Better Tomorrow)

Waste Disposal (The Factory of a Better Tomorrow)

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Negativitron - Part 2 (The Cosmos)

 

 

3 People/controllers:

 

Runaway Train (Victoria's Laboratory)

Fireflies When You're Having Fun - Part 2 (Eve's Asylum)

 

 

4 People/controllers:

 

Bang For Buck (The Factory of a Better Tomorrow)

Casa Del Higginbotham (Eve's Asylum)

 

Also see here for a video and text location Guide that shows where and how to get all of the bubbles (credit to HellCU3ED for this): LINK

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/08.jpg Ace Story Mode (Gold Trophy )

Ace every level in the story mode

 

There are a total of 30 levels that you need to ace for this trophy. You can keep track of the levels you have successfully completed without dying, because on the level select screen they will have a gold spade shape on them. Be aware that in levels that contain sackbots, having a sackbot die counts as a death for you. What this means obviously is that even if you yourself don't die, a sackbot death will stop the level from being classified as being aced.

Online Story Related Trophies:

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/14.jpg Scoreboard 50% (Bronze Trophy )

Place in the top 50% of players in the online scoreboard for a Story level

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

See Scoreboard 25%.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/15.jpg Scoreboard 25% (Silver Trophy )

Place in the top 25% of players in the online scoreboard for a Story level

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

This trophy is actually a lot easier than people made out, and I got it without even trying to on the level Rookie Test in Da Vinci's Hideout. As this is the first real level it is always going to have the most unique plays. Just try to get all the point bubbles you can, and try to get them fast enough to earn yourself multipliers. My score of 5,290 put me 4,943 out of 63,000 people. That was on my first attempt without aiming for this trophy. As that was in the top 10% I'd say that a score around 5,300-5,500 should always be good enough for the top 25%. As time goes on the number of plays will reach into the 100,000's making that top 25% goal even easier.

 

 

Multiplayer/Online Trophies:

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/18.jpg Dive In 25 (Bronze Trophy )

Dive in and play 25 random levels with other players, and don't immediately leave!

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

In order to dive into a level you'll need to go to the community and select cool levels or mm picks. At the top of the list is "DIVE IN!" which you'll need to select. This will make you join a random person playing one of the levels. You can't back out immediately or it will not count. Play until the end of the level. It is in the General Pins section on the 7th row down.

 

If you are having problems getting this to work then look for lists with few people playing. That way after 30 seconds if you don't join a game you'll get put in a level yourself which still counts. Lucky Dip is often very empty so a good idea to try. Thanks to FiftyQuid for pointing this out.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/19.jpg Play 25 Community Levels (Bronze Trophy )

Play 25 unique cooperative community levels

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Earned while going for Play 75 Community Levels.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/21.jpg Actually Quite Good (Bronze Trophy )

Place in the top 25% of players in 5 community level scoreboards (with at least 50 other players in them)

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Most likely you will earn this trophy will going for the other community trophies. If not just play community levels and aim for the top 25%. As with Scoreboard 25% make sure to collect all point bubbles, and try to string together multipliers. Make sure that the level you play has had at least 50 players on the scoreboard. Don't bother with versus levels as they will be trickier and need more than one person. You're most likely going to get into the top 25% on levels that have had a lot of plays, so to find those specific levels go to community, select more, then go across to most played and select this week. Be sure to read the descriptions so you know that you're playing an actual level with points rather than the various non point levels that people publish.

 

A much easier, if less exciting way to get this trophy is to go into community, then selecting text search. Put in "top 25%" without the ". Now you'll find lots of custom levels that are designed to make everyone come first, and therefore allow you to earn the trophy with no effort whatsoever. Just make sure that the level you play actually has had more than 50 plays or it won't count. Thanks The-Captain-388.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/22.jpg Play 5 Versus Levels (Bronze Trophy )

Play 5 unique community Versus levels

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Simply play 5 different versus levels. You know that a level is a versus one when there are two red sackthings on the top of the level picture. You have to complete the level for it to count. Note that simply playing a story level online won't work, it has to be a community level. If you look under MM picks you'll find a lot of really good versus levels.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/23.jpg 25 Online Versus Wins (Bronze Trophy )

Win 25 Versus mode community levels against at least 1 other player

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

The description is slightly misleading. What it actually means is 1 other online player. You can't do this using a second controller. Head over to the co-op partners thread to find a boosting partner. Find a versus level that is very short to make this go faster. I found a level called LBP2 first Zombie survival which can be won in 15 seconds. Start the level off, move to the left as you are in the air. Let the zombies kill your partner (who just stands still) then kill them both for 20 points then let yourself die. The level ends and you'll win with 10 points to your partners 0. To find the level, go to community and then select text search. Put "LBP2 first Zombie survival" without the " and you'll find it.

Journalistical (Bronze Trophy )

Write a review

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Get into any random community level. Press then go across to reviews using . Select this and you'll see all the reviews the level has been given. At the top you'll see an option that says: Leave your own REVIEW! Simply putting one word in the review box then selecting done is enough. You'll be taken back to the list of reviews and the trophy will pop.

 

 

Paparazzo (Bronze Trophy )

Upload a photo

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Once you have taken a photo (which you can do at any time in a level by selecting the photo option after pressing ), you need to bring up your popit. Go to stickers and decorations and press 3 times until you are on the My Pictures menu. Select the photo you took (move the cursor on it) and press . You'll now have a list of options, simply go down to upload and select it and you'll unlock this trophy.

 

 

The Votarator 5 (Bronze Trophy )

Rate 5 brand new community levels (less than 10 plays)

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Earned while going for The Votarator 50.

 

 

 Play 75 Community Levels (Silver Trophy )

Play 75 unique cooperative community levels

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

When the description says play, it actually means complete. It is no good to join a level then leave right away. For it to count you must complete it. Please note that versus levels do not count towards this trophy (so only pick levels that don't have the 2 red sackthings on the level picture). After your first 25 unique level plays you will unlock Play 25 Community Levels.

 

Don't forget to rate every level you play as well to help you towards 160 Yays or Boos. Also consider playing proper levels rather than 2 second ones to build up your time online for U Know U A Playa.

 

U Know U A Playa (Silver Trophy )

Spend 5 hours playing community levels

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Not much to say to this really. You'll likely get pretty close to 5 hours while working on the other community trophies (or you might even reach it). However if you've been backing out of levels constantly rather than playing them just keep playing community level until the trophy unlocks. Work on all the other community related trophies before coming on to this one. You can keep track of how long you've played community levels by going to your pins, using until you reach the general pins section. It is the first one called U Know U A Playa. Unfortunately it is not possible to just join a level and stand still as you are actually required to be active. I recommend going to community and selecting MM picks. From here you'll find a lot of extremely impressive levels that will make time fly, especially if you decide to play with other people.

 

 

The Votarator 50 (Silver Trophy )

Rate 50 brand new community levels (less than 10 plays)

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

In order to find the brand new levels go into the community, scroll down to more, then go all the way across to Newest Levels. You'll be taken to a screen with all the new levels. You can see the number of ratings and plays the level has had before you start it. You must choose a level with less than 10 plays. You do not need to finish the level, you can rate it right after joining, then quit. After your first 5 ratings you will unlock The Votarator 5. You can keep track of how many of the 50 you have completed by going to the Pod, selecting Me followed by My Pins at the bottom. Now press 4x until you're on the Share Pins list. On the 3rd row down you'll find the pin called The Votarator 50 which tells you how many you've done so far.

 

 

160 Yays or Boos (Gold Trophy )

Give 160 positive or negative votes on community levels

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Every time you play a community level make sure to give it a vote. While going for all the other community related trophies such as The Votarator 50, you'll most likely reach this amount. If not just keep browsing for online levels you've not played before and vote on them. In order to give a yay or a boo, while in the level press and you'll see 2 images of your sackperson. Selecting the smiley face gives a yay and the sad face a boo. You can do this as soon as you start the level and then leave, it will still count.

 

 

Offline Create Trophies:

 

10 Minutes of Create (Bronze Trophy )

Spend 10 active minutes in Create mode

 

Earned while going for 1440 Minutes of Create.

 

 

1440 Minutes of Create (Gold Trophy )

Spend 24 active hours in Create mode

 

This trophy is the biggest grind of all the LBP2 trophies. You'll need to spend a staggering 1,440 minutes in create mode, and not just be standing still. Unless you're a crazy creator who spends hours making lots of levels you'll have little choice but to attempt the trick explained below.

To do this you need a controller with a turbo button, I used a Hori Fight stick. Go into create mode and set to turbo. Now tape the button down and walk away. This constantly opens and closes the popit menu which counts as activity. Leave on for 24 hours and the trophy is yours. Note that you need to back out of create mode for the trophies to pop. I tested this on the 10 minute trophy and it worked like a charm.

 

After your first 10 minutes of creating you will unlock 10 Minutes of Create.

Publish a level to the community

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Earned at the same time as Step into my Arena.

 

 

50 Unique Players (Bronze Trophy )

A level you published was played by 50 unique players

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

If you are a creative person you will most likely achieve this trophy without having to boost. If however, you are hopeless like me you'll need to boost the views. To do this head over to the Level 4 Level thread and follow the instructions there to get your level added. Then it is simply a matter of waiting for 50 unique plays of the level, and of course returning the favour by playing other peoples levels.

 

 

Long Term Publisher (Bronze Trophy )

A level you published has been published for 7 days

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

If you have played the original LittleBigPlanet, and you choose to have your profile carried over into LBP2, you'll most likely unlock this trophy as soon as you get started. If you've not published a level before, or didn't own LBP, publish a level and wait a week for this trophy to unlock. It is not possible to trick your PS3 into thinking it's been a week by changing the date as the submission info is stored server side with MM.

 

 

A Series of Tubes (Bronze Trophy )

Use a Level Link to link two of your published levels together

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

After you have published a level for Step into my Arena and Community Spirit, create another level. This time put nothing in it but a level link. Link it with your published level, save, then publish this level. After the trophy unlocks I recommend you remove this level. To link a level you need the level linker teleport. Open your popit with , go to tools and press 3 times until you're on gameplay kits. Select the level link object. Place it on the ground. After doing this move your popit cursor over the level link and press You will now be able to select your level you've already published to be linked with this one.

 

 

Custom Badger (Bronze Trophy )

Create a custom badge for your level from a PlayStation Eye photo or an in-game photo

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

The easiest way to do this is using an in-game photo. At any point during the game, simply press start and select the photo taking option. Now go into create mode. Press and go to Edit Details at the top. Move your cursor until you're on the level picture and select this. Now press once to go across to My Pictures. From here select one of the pictures you took to be the image for the level. The description is misleading however, as this is not enough to earn the trophy. You must then publish the level with your custom badge before the trophy unlocks.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/38.jpg Step into my Arena (Bronze Trophy )

Publish a Versus mode level

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Create any LBP2 level from scratch but it doesn't matter how good or bad it is. Now once you have done this, bring up popit with and select the tools bag and press 7 times until you are on the Global Controls menu. The first header "gameplay" will let you change the level from cooperative to versus. Set it to versus and when you publish the level you'll unlock this trophy and Community Spirit.

 

 

Miscellaneous Trophies:

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/26.jpg Who Needs Breakfast? (Bronze Trophy )

Play LittleBigPlanet 2 before 9am

 

To save yourself the hassle of being on LBP2 before 9am you can do the easy way. Quit the game and on the XMB change your time to 08:50 (settings->date and time settings->date and time->set manually). Start the game up again, and once you are in the pod it will unlock.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/27.jpg Just... One... More... Go... (Bronze Trophy )

Play LittleBigPlanet 2 after 9pm

 

To save yourself the hassle of being on LBP2 after 9pm you can do the easy way. Quit the game and on the XMB change your time to 21:05 (settings->date and time settings->date and time->set manually). Start the game up again, and once you are in the pod it will unlock.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/28.jpg Grapple Hooked (Bronze Trophy )

Create a chain of 4 players grappling each other

 

To do this you'll need 4 sackpeople. You can do this offline if you have 4 controllers, but as you have to press and hold on each controller, I'd recommend heading over to the co-op partners thread and finding people there. You have three options for this trophy. Either finding a level online that has a grappling hook, playing one of the story levels with a grappling hook, or creating a level to do this with. In order to grapple you'll need to press and hold . Make sure that you grab the sackperson rather than the material. Keep the tether short so you can all grab each other. If you decide to create a level it's very straightforward. Press to disable hover mode. Press to bring up the popit and select tools bag. Using go across to the third page and select the grappling hook. Place that on the floor next to you. Now press and open the goodies bag from the popit menu. Under basic material select the sponge and create a platform from which your sackpeople can hang. Once the first person has grappled the material, the next person grapples the first and so on.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/29.jpg Turbo Slapper (Bronze Trophy )

Slap more than one player at once

 

To do this you'll need 3 sackpeople. You can do this offline if you have 3 controllers. If not head over to the co-op partners thread and find people there. To slap someone you need to hold down , then flick the right analogue stick from right to left quickly. Make sure that the 2 sackpeople getting slapped are right next to each other so you hit them both. This can be done in the Pod.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/30.jpg Snappy Dresser (Bronze Trophy )

Change your costume

 

At any point in the game where you can bring up your popit with , go to the customise character option and change your outfit. Soon as you change you'll unlock this. If the trophy does not unlock try changing every item of clothing (or loading a custom costume you created if you owned LBP1) - thanks The-Captain-388 -.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/39.jpg Teacher's Pet (Bronze Trophy )

You watched all the tutorials! Take a gold star, go to the top of the class.

 

There are a total of 52 tutorials to complete. In order to access them, when in your pod, open up the computer and select Me. After this select tutorials for the full list. You can keep track of which you've done because they'll be ticked. You don't have to complete the tutorials, as soon as they load you can back out and it still counts.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/46.jpg A Dip In The Stream (Bronze Trophy )

Play a level from your Recent Activity

 

When you are in your pod, access your computer with then scroll down to the third option, Recent Activity. Select this then press to play whatever comes up there. Soon as the level loads you'll get this trophy.

 

If you can't see anything listed in your recent activity (MM seems to have modified your starting privacy settings), then you'll have to try the following workaround that Cauchy has found works.

 

Quote

In the mean time, I’ve uncovered a workaround: First, just to be safe, log in to lbp.me and adjust your web privacy settings. Then, from your pod, go to your controller and select “Me” > “My Profile”. Scroll to the bottom and select “Latest Activity”. Select a level to play and the trophy will unlock right after the level starts.

Note that lbp.me is a website not something hidden away on the game. You will need to put in your PSN name and password to the site in order to log in. It is an official site, though, so don't worry. For some reason just changing your privacy settings as they explain when you try to view recent activity doesn't fix the problem. I'm sure this is only temporary and will be patched soon.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/533/25.jpg A Game A Day Keeps The Doctor Away (Silver Trophy )

Play LittleBigPlanet 2 on every day of the week

 

If you don't think you'll be on LBP2 at least once a day for a week then you'll be pleased to know that you can earn this trophy by changing the date of your PS3 console. Quit the game and on the XMB change your date to the next day (settings->date and time settings->date and time->set manually). Start the game up again, and once you are in the pod on the 7th day it will unlock. Make sure that you are in the pod before you quit to change the day or it won't count.

Nice guide, I actually just got the One Last Go trophy right now while looking at this guide at 9:01.

Didn't need to reboot.

[lukey52]

9:01, 9:05, I just decided to round the number up slightly . Does the job

[mcnichoj]

lol, now I just got Who Needs Breakfast while browsing your guide again.

Time stamp reads 11:58Pm but my PS3 says 12:00AM, guess that must be lag from unlocking the pin.

 

For the 10 in a row acing trophy you should actually recommend they start with the HARDER stages and work their way backwards towards the easy Da Vinci stages.

You also make note that mini-games and the cutscene satges don't count as I saw people acsking that in the topic about the trophy.

[Giga_Gaia]

I don't understand how the rubber band method works for some but not others. I mean it doesn't work for me, leave it overnight and I get 1 minute.

 

Also, do you really need 2-4 players for some prize bubbles? I think it can all be done solo

I was thinking it had something to do with my tv being turned off. Did you have your tv on or off?

Tried with tv on and off. Either we're doing something wrong and missing something which some others did or the person who says it works are not telling us the whole truth.

 

If you do it with square, how fast do you have to press square to open and close menu for it to count as minutes? Because I am watching a tv show on computer, my cable to recharge controller is long enough so I don't need to unplug it and watch on pc while I play ps3 on tv. I calculated if I do that non-stop while watching 2 seasons, I should get it. Doing that would take about 2 days, since all i do till monday is watch series. I have to know how frequently I have to press because this is tiring after a while.

@Giga_Gaia - Once you'd put the rubber band in place did the object start to spin? I'm afraid I don't know about the square trick using a turbo controller as I don't have one. Take a look at the thread the guys made about it, it's worked for others.

All prize bubbles can be earned solo IF you've got 4 controllers. Most people have 2 maximum 3 therefore you'll need another person.

 

@mcnichoj - Well as you can jump about levels it's not really a problem. Personally I've found acing the bosses much easier than the levels, so that will be 5 of the 10 I plan to ace for the trophy.

I'll make a note about cut-scenes and films, cheers.

As to the two time related trophies, yes it's simple to get them if you play at the right time of day, but it takes 2 minutes to change your clock twice for the two trophies, and anyway you need to change the date 7x for the week trophy so you can just change both for the first 2 times.

[aussie pride]

Good guide mate i have got a tip for acing all levels trophy instead of playing through the story and then acing all levels just play a level then replay it straight after you beat it i would make your life much easier because the level layout is fresh in your mind and imo easier to beat straight after you have already beat the level

Can anyone confirm that this would work? It is my Understanding that it needs to be 10 Different Levels?!?

[mcnichoj]

If you have multiple controllers then yes you could do it solo. You can't do the multiplayer challenges with a single sackperson, just like you couldn't do it in the first game.

 

I was thinking it had something to do with my tv being turned off. Did you have your tv on or off?

Being on or off shouldn't matter as the PS3 doesn't know if it's even displaying anything. I always turn my PS3 on before I plug my HDMI cable into it and it still continues to boot.

Meh, just thought it would be nice for those that want it legit with good looking time stamps. Everyone though you would need to wake up at like 6AM for the Breakfast one and all you really need to do is play from 9PM-12AM which isn't really a big deal for adults.

For the acing people can do whatever they're msot comfortable with but they'll have to ace all the stages at some point anyway. Got the trophy from acing everything in the first two worlds.

He is talking about the trophy for acing ALL the stages in the game, these can be done any time and does not need to be in a row.

For the trophy you're thinking of, just use the backup save method posted in the guide.

Multiplier 10x (Bronze Trophy )

Score a 10x multiplier in a Story level

 

The description is a little misleading here. You don't actually need to be playing a story level to unlock this. It is possible to do it in one of the side levels. The first opportunity you will have to unlock this will be in the side level Hedge Hopping in Da Vinci's Hideout, which you unlock when you collect the key in Grab and Swing. In order to build up the multiplier you must collect a number of the point bubbles without too much time between collecting each one. If you attempt this on Hedge Hopping, you will want to be as far to the left of the screen as possible when you start going for the bubbles or you'll run out of space before reaching the 10x multiplier. Another possible place to achieve this is during the level Flying In The Face Of Danger, in the Avalonia section of the game. When the screen becomes vertical, you'll fly through several narrow pathways with a ton of bubbles.

The description is not misleading

Hedge Hopping is a Story Level but it's not a MAIN story level !

Nice guide by the way

[lukey52]

It was my understanding that it was classified as a "side level".

 

I'm going to finish up the story then see how bad the quality is recording my TV using my webcam. If it's ok I'll record the 10 levels I've done for the ace trophy and put it on youtube. Better than nothing until someone with a capture card makes proper videos.

Good job on this guide.

Are you sure you didn't unlock it already without realising?

[rupeeboo]

It was my understanding that it was classified as a "side level".

 

The story level requirement is just so that people don't make those community levels full of bubbles tailored for fast score trophies like last time. They just want it to be a MM level, therefore it can be any levels inside of story mode, including main or side levels.

[lukey52]

Yes I realise it can be done in the main story level or the side level. I was pointing out to someone else who said that the description (10x in a story level) was slightly misleading as the side levels count.

[The-Captain-388]

You might need to change your entire costume for this to work. Not just your shoes or something. I got it right away by selecting my Kratos outfit from the first one.

I agree with this, mine popped when I selected one of my full complete outfits I had saved from LBP1.
