Introduction:

Welcome to the latest instalment of Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare. Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 pits, well plants vs zombies against each other to battle for Zomburbia. You will be able to play as any number of plants or zombies in this game and take part in a whole bunch of different adventures, whether it be from the Backyard Battleground, to Garden Ops, to Multiplayer while you work your way to obtain the platinum trophy for this game.


Walkthrough:

Step 1: Backyard Battleground
Backyard Battleground is essentially the single player aspect of the game. In the Battleground you will need to start off by first going through the plants and zombie’s missions. You will gain most of the trophies for this game just from going through the missions and utilizing specific characters to get their specific trophies. Note: Make sure to always take and complete quests from the quest board. Especially the Epic quests.


Step 2: Multiplayer/Splitscreen
During this step you want to go for Playdate, Who can you trust? and Prance Vs Samba. All 3 of these trophies can be earned just by playing in Splitscreen. If you don't own a second controller than option 2 would be to find or add someone who owns this game and work towards these trophies.


Step 3: Grinding out Rinsed 'Em, Gramma Z Says... and all the Garden Ops trophies not yet earned already.
Most of the garden ops trophies you will have either completed or have significantly less to do just by going through step 1 since you are forced to play Garden Ops. First you should start off by going for the Insanity trophy. By the time you complete this you should have both it and the catching waves trophy for completing 100 waves of ops.

64 trophies ( 53  21  )

  • Get all trophies

    Unlock all the other trophies.

  • Promote a single character 5 times.

    To promote a character, you will need to reach level 10 with the character first. After you are level 10 you will have to go to the stats room and go to the character's mini figurehead and click on it then click on promote. To obtain this trophy quickly, play a mode like Spec Ops or "Raise the Flag" by yourself on Easy then rack up kills with the desired method to get the trophy. Simply do this 5 times with 1 character.

  • Spend your first star.

    You will obtain stars by completing quests on the quest board. After you have completed a quest, the easiest thing to do would be to go find a 3 star chest and open it.

  • Vanquish 5000 Zombies.

    All Zombie deaths will count towards this trophy. This trophy will be a real grind and will probably be one of the last ones you get along with Gramma Z says. An easy way to rack up kills real fast is if your good at staying alive you can go to the center of the battleground and raise the flag. After the boss wave it's just endless amounts of enemies that come at you. You should be able to get 500 kills a go, depending on skill level using this method.

  • Vanquish 5000 Plants.

    All Plant deaths will count towards this trophy. This trophy will be a real grind and will probably be one of the last ones you get along with Rinsed 'Em. An easy way to rack up kills real fast is if you're good at staying alive then you can go to the center of the battleground and raise the flag. After the boss wave it's just endless amounts of enemies that come at you. You should be able to get 500 kills a go, depending on skill level using this method.

  • Complete an Ops game on CRRRRRAAAZY Difficulty.

    CRRRRRAAAZY difficulty is the hardest Garden Ops difficulty. Even though it's the hardest difficulty if your playing in a group of 4 you should be able to beat if fairly easy without any problems. Having a Sunflower or Zombie scientist on your team to heal you will really help out though.

  • Complete 100 waves in Ops.

    This won't take as long as it seems because just doing the storylines for the Plants and the zombies, you should have about half of this trophy done already. After that, go to Garden Ops and set the difficulty to Easy then run through them until the trophy unlocks.

  • Defeat 3 Super Boss Waves in Ops.

    This can be obtained on any difficulty and solo or with other players. During Ops matches there will be boss waves that are triggered by a slot machine. To get a super boss wave all three slots will have to have the same Bosses picture inside of them. You will also know you have a Super Boss Wave because a cutscene will take place. Super Boss Waves are really luck based so you will have to keep playing Ops matches until you unlock this trophy.

  • Reach the boss wave using the Flag of Power in the Backyard Battleground.

    The description for this trophy is wrong because you have to actually beat the boss wave, not just reach it.

    The Flag of Power is located in the center of the battleground. Go to the flag and click on it to raise the flag to start the waves, you need to go through a few rounds of enemies until it tells you that you're at the Boss Wave. Make sure when the crates drop that have the reinforcement characters in it you open them. The A.I character can help you out a lot, whether it be by killing enemies, distracting the them while you kill them or take the time to heal. Also make sure to utilize the 4 Dirt Piles or Potted Plants.

  • Complete 10 Epic Quests.

    This trophy will take some time to unlock. To play an Epic Quest you will need to go to the quest board and find a quest with a lightning bolt next to it. These quests are usually more time consuming and harder to complete than normal requests. The quest board updates every 2 days so it will take about three weeks to obtain this trophy. Note that you will not receive an Epic Quest every week.

  • Max out your XP Multiplier on the quest board.

    To max out the XP multiplier you must complete requests from the zombies, plants and the multiplayer quests. You will get a total of 15 quests every 2 days so if you complete them all, then it should take you 4 days to max out your XP multiplier.

    Note: Your XP multiplier will decrease by 0.25 for every two days of not completing quests from the quest board.

  • Vanquish 50 Plants with the Z-Mech's Robo Stomp.

    The Robo Stomp is one of the Z-Mech's special moves and to use it you must play as the Imp then press . To obtain this trophy quickly, play a mode like Spec Ops or "Raise the Flag" and let a whole bunch of plants gather together then use the Robo Stomp to maximize kills and save time. An easy way to obtaining this would be either to play the "Raise the Flag" waves in the center of the battlefield or playing "Garden Ops" by yourself on easy to rack up kills with the desired method to get the trophy.

  • Stun 50 Z-Mechs using Citron's EMPeach.

    The EMPeach is one of 3 special moves that Citron can use. To get this trophy you have to use the EMPeach on the imp's Z-Mech. A fast way to get this trophy is to use a second controller and have the other controller summon the Z-Mech. You will be able to get three shots on the Z-Mech this way each time before it blows up so it should take 17 Z-Mechs to get this if you do it this way. See this video (courtesy of SporkTheB0AT) for an alternate way of getting this trophy:

  • As Super Brainz, vanquish 25 Plants with Heroic Fists, and 25 Plants with the Heroic Beam.

    The Heroic Fists are super Brainz normal attack, simply kill 25 Plants them. To use Super Brainz's Heroic Beam, you must aim it and hold then it will fire a Beam that will continuously damage the enemy providing the Beam is hitting them. Get 25 kills like this and with the heroic fists and the trophy will pop. An easy way to obtaining this would be either to play the "Raise the Flag" waves in the center of the battlefield or playing "Garden Ops" by yourself on Easy to rack up kills with the desired method to get the trophy.

  • Vanquish 25 Plants with the Scurvy Scattershot, and 25 Plants with the Spyglass Shot.

    The Scurvy Scattershot and the Spyglass Shot are the Pirates main weapon. To use the Scurvy Scattershot just shoot your weapon without aiming (hip firing) but to use the Spyglass Shot, zoom in at a target and shoot his main weapon. An easy way to obtaining this would be either to play the "Raise the Flag" waves in the center of the battlefield or playing "Garden Ops" by yourself on easy to rack up kills with the desired method to get the trophy.

  • Promote a character for the first time.

    To promote a character, you will need to reach level 10 with the character first. After you are level 10 go: Stats Room => Character mini figurehead => click on promote. Getting your multiplier to x2 and playing multiplayer are the best ways to ranking up fast since multiplayer gives you the most XP, then on top of that the x2 will double it.

  • Earn a S-Rank in the Crazy Targets Range.

    You will need to have 5 stars that you can get by doing quests on the quest board, then you have to go into the sewers and find a door with a gnome logo on it. You will have to beat the course in under 22 seconds to get an S-Rank. The easiest characters to do this with are the Citron or Peashooter:

  • Gesture immediately after vanquishing a player.

    A gesture is basically an expression your character will do once you press the or on the D-Pad, do this after killing a player controlled character. You can get this trophy by playing online, solo if you have an extra controller or join a friend and to make it even easier you can do it in the Backyard Battleground.

  • Visit a friend's Backyard Battleground, or have a friend visit your Backyard Battleground.

    For this trophy all you have to do is hop into a friend's game or have them come into yours and the trophy will pop for both of you. If you don't have any friends that own this game and you have a spare controller, then just play Splitscreen and the trophy will unlock.

  • Vanquish a friend in their Backyard Battleground.

    For this trophy you must join a friend's Backyard Battleground then kill them a single time. If you don't have any friends that own this game and you have a spare controller, then you can play it in Splitscreen but make sure you exit the game switch to the secondary profile then start it up. Now go to Splitscreen and have your main account join then kill your secondary account.

  • Apply a weapon skin to a Zombie's weapon.

    You will randomly get a Zombie weapon skin in the card packs, most likely the zombie related ones. Once you obtain a weapon skin, go over to that character in the character select screen and press to customize them. Put on the weapon skin and the trophy will unlock.

  • Vanquish an opponent using a Potted Plant or Zombot Turret.

    You can do this in the Backyard Battlegrounds or simply go to Garden Ops and grow a Plant or Zombot near the objective then wait for an opponent to come near it and have your Plant or Zombot vanquish it.

  • In solo ops, swap to another character.

    Go to Garden Ops then select solo ops and once the match starts, there will be 3 Tombstones or Dirt Holes in front of you so simply plant or raise an A.I character then push or on the D-Pad to swap characters.

  • Play a private match with your own custom rules.

    Go over to the multiplayer portal and select private match, then go to Crazy settings and select any one of the choices there. Now start the match and the trophy will pop once it begins.

  • As Rose, Goatify 100 Zombies.

    Goatify is one of 3 special moves that Rose can do. The best way to do this is to simply group a bunch of Zombies together and press to shoot her Goatify ability at them which will turn them into goats. Just keep doing this until you get 100. You can check to see how many enemies you've Goatified by going to the stats room and clicking on the rose character. If by the time you beat the main storyline and you don't have this trophy, then play Raise the Flag or Garden Ops to work toward this trophy as you'll have lots of enemies to Goatify in these two modes.

  • As Kernel Corn, vanquish 25 Zombies with the Shuck Shot.

    The Shuck Shot is one of 3 special moves that Kernel Corn can do. The best way to do this is to get a group of enemies together then press to fire the Shuck Shot at them and vanquish them. Repeat this until the trophy pops. An easy way to obtaining this would be either to play the "Raise the Flag" waves in the center of the battlefield or playing "Garden Ops" by yourself on easy to rack up kills with the desired method to get the trophy.

  • Enter the Zombie Stats room as a Plant.

    As a Plant, all you have to do is simply run all the way across the battleground and get into the Zombie's area then simply run straight into the Stats Room and the trophy should pop:

  • Find all hidden Garden Gnomes.

    GLITCHED

    There are a total of 54 hidden Garden Gnomes between the Backyard and the multiplayer maps and you need to collect them all for this trophy. Some people have reported Gnomes either not being in a location that it's supposed to be or the Gnome is shown as collected when it really hasn't been:

  • Enter the Chamber of Gnomes.

    After you collect your first few Gnomes, the telephone will ring for the first time and a Gnome will tell you that his people are watching you. After the call, go do a few missions or walk around a little then come back and the phone will be ringing again and the Gnome on the other end will say that you can now enter the secret Gnome Chamber:

  • As a Plant, vanquish the Z7 Imp.

    This trophy is obtained by playing through Citron's mission called "Triangulation Station". The Z7 Imp will be a little mini boss at the end of the mission, vanquish him and the trophy will unlock afterwards.

  • As a Goat, vanquish a Plant.

    You can easily get this in two ways. The first is by playing the Zombie side quest called "Anomalous Anomalies" that you get from Dr. Fizzician. At the end of the special ops that he has you do you will have to open up a present which will be the Hypno Flower. The Hypno Flower will turn you into a goat for the rest of the match and all you have to do while you're a Goat, is to vanquish a plant by ramming it. The other way is if you have a spare controller is to have that turn you into a zombie then you must vanquish the player or one of the other plants around you.

  • As the Chomper, swallow a Goat.

    You can easily get this trophy by playing Rose's quest called "Well That Escalated Quickly". During the mission, goats will fall out of rifts that you're trying to close. As the Chomper, just swallow one of the Goats that come after you.

  • Enter the Plant Stats room as a Zombie.

    As a Zombie, all you have to do is run across the battleground and into the Plants area then enter the Stats Room and the trophy should pop. See Corn Identity for a video on how to do this.
