    This trophy is tricky and you'll need a little patience to get it. Essentially you need to be fighting Doc Ock and Green Goblin at the same time, and get Goblin's pumpkin bomb ball to explode while Doc Ock is holding it.

    Here is a strategy with images, courtesy of Ruldra, that is probably the easiest:

    COMPLETE DOC OCK STAGE 1
    Doc Ock won't start picking up balls until you get to his Stage 2, so the first thing you need to do is beat him once (complete Stage 1). See the Clone Chaos trophy for more info on starting and completing a Doc Ock Stage.

    START DOC OCK STAGE 2 AND GREEN GOBLIN STAGE 1
    Once you have completed Stage 1, you'll need to start Doc Ock Stage 2 (start it the same way as before) and Green Goblin Stage 1 (hit the Green Goblin ramp three times) so they are running at the same time. I suggest you get Doc Ock going first, then start Goblin.

    Regarding Doc Ock in Stage 2 – he will only grab balls when he's in the "checkmate" position of the fight (the starting position at very top of the table). If he's moved down a bit while you were starting the Goblin fight, you'll need to push him back up by hitting Websling ramps.

    Here are pics of each stance:

    Non-starting stance – will NOT pick up balls



    Starting stance – will pick up balls – He needs to be in this stance!



    So make sure Doc Ock is in the proper stance before continuing.

    GET DOC OCK TO CATCH THE BOMB
    With both fights going, there will be two balls on the table: the normal ball and Goblin's pumpkin bomb ball. Catch both, one on each flipper. Since the pumpkin bomb will explode if you lose your normal ball, let the normal ball drain down the center and shoot the pumpkin at Doc Ock right after so he grabs it. If you time it right the bomb will explode while Doc Ock is holding it and voila, trophy!
