Close Call Trophy in Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

  • Close Call

     

    Kill a Broadcaster with 1 second left on the clock.

    How to unlock Close Call

    Broadcasters are the Mechs that call for reinforcements. Once they attempt a call, a countdown will appear on top of their heads.

    On Easy, their countdown starts at 40 seconds. On Hard, you only get 15 seconds.

    An easy way to do this if you're having trouble on Hard is to start Chapter 3 on Easy with a fully upgraded Plasma Shot. During the sneaking session in the beginning of the chapter, instead of sneaking past the group of enemies, make scrap metal outta these Mechs until one of them attempts a radio call. Kill off the others, sparing this one Mech and as soon as the countdown reaches 01, Stun the guy, then one-shot him with a Plasma Shot for the trophy.

    Thanks to Cheattaro for reminding me that countdowns can be stopped by stunning the enemy.

  • I found this one of the more difficult trophies to get, timing is everything.
  • I got this one easily when you first encounter it on chapter 2. Playing on hard this will be easy. You'll be on a mounted gun shooting at enemies to protect Trip. There will be barrels all around than can be blown up, do not shoot them yet. The broadcaster comes after the 3rd wave of enemies. His timer will reach 1 just as he steps in front of a barrel. Shoot the barrel to kill it just in time for the trophy.
