Introduction:

When the kingdom of Arc En Ciel becomes a little too quiet and a little too boring, the Devil himself decides to stir things up a bit. After putting the Curse of Eternal Night on the land, the people are overtaken by monsters both big and small. When they can no longer take it, they call upon the mighty Wizard to help them lift the curse so they can go back to their peaceful lives. The Devil notices the Wizard and his plan to help Arc En Ciel so to counter the Wizard's attempts, he calls up Stingy Jack and promises that if he can stop the Wizard's plan, he'll grant him access to the afterlife, a promise Jack won't hesitate to make him keep. The Devil puts Jack's soul inside of a Pumpkin and sends him down to Arc En Ciel to find and defeat the Wizard. Note: This game had major trophy glitches at launch so please ensure you have the 1.02 or higher patch installed, before playing.

Walkthrough:

Step 1: Play through the game

It's that simple! Just play through the game. It's recommended you go for all of the Crow Skulls and Gramophones while you're at it but don't fret too much if you miss any as you'll be able to clean them up afterwards. The majority of the trophies will unlock during this step since most of them are story-related, making this Platinum even more enjoyable. There are 6 chapters in total to get through. If you're needing any help on any section of them, individual chapter walkthrough videos have been provided under their respective Crow Skull trophies. Once you've completed the game, you will have unlocked the following (in the order they will unlock):

Brand New Body
Shovel Face
Skull Breaker
Crash Boo-ndicoot
Curse of the Scarecrow
Bomberman
License to Drive
Ghostbuster
De-Composer
Ghost Rider
Cruel Tea
Whack-a-Mole
Formula Ugh

Ain't no rest for the wicked
Hunger Killer
The Worst Achievement Possible

Step 2: Clean-up

If you missed any of the Crow Skulls or Gramophones on any level, you can use Chapter Select to go back and get them. You don't need to complete the level for them to save. When you pick up a collectible, the game will autosave so you can just grab what you need and exit back out to the main menu. The locations of everything are provided under their respective trophies. The Crow Skull trophies also have walkthrough videos for the individual chapters if you prefer to use those. Once you've collected everything there is to collect, you will have earned the following:

When you start up the game, you'll automatically start the Tutorial. Simply complete it to unlock this trophy.
Skull Breaker

Story Related.

This will unlock after you defeat your first enemy. There will be plenty throughout the game, most of which are required to progress through the story so this will unlock naturally.
Shovel Face

Equip the Legendary Holy Glory Shovel
Story Related.

As you make your way through the first level (The Fields), you'll eventually come to a barn with a breakable wall behind it. You'll need to pick up the Legednary Holy Glory Shovel here to progress forward with the story. When you do, the trophy will unlock.
Prying Eyes

Pick up a crow skull
This will unlock naturally as you go for Skull Finder and any of the multiple other Crow Skull-related trophies.
Skull Finder

Collect all crow skulls in the fields
There are 20 Crow Skulls in The Fields. You don't need to get them all in one run and if you miss any, you won't need to re-pick up any on any additional playthroughs you need to do. Once you pick it up once, you have it forever. When A Crow Skull has not been collected, it will be glowing red. When you have collected it already, it will just be a basic greyed-out skull. If you need to replay a level to get any you missed, you don't need to complete the level for them to count. The autosave in this game is pretty forgiving so you can just pick them up and exit out.

If you prefer to use a video guide for these, please see below. If you prefer to use a text guide, the locations of the Crow Skulls found within The Fields are as follows:

1: Just to the left of the first cauldron you come to. It's at the base of one of the scaffoldings you'll need to climb on to progress the story.

2: Just by the previous Crow Skull. It's on the ground behind a tree. Pick it up before you cross over the scaffoldings.

3: When you jump across the scaffolings mentioned above, you'll also cross over some rotating platforms. Stop on the last one and let it rotate around until you hit the Crow Skull.

4: When you have to roll past the swinging spike logs, take a hard right after the second log and go behind them. The Crow Skull will be in this area by a large tree.

You'll pick up this chapter's Gramophone for Disk Jockey between these Skulls 4 & 5.

5: After you cross the bridge(s) and pick up the Holy Glory Shovel, to the right of the wall you need to break through is a Target Dummy. Just next to it is the Crow Skull.

6: In the same area as the previous Crow Skull. It's on the opposite side, behind the barn.

7: After you break through the wall to continue forward, you'll need to climb up a tower. The Crow Skull is on top of this tower.

8: In the next area, you need to defeat a few waves of enemies. When you do, you'll be able to pick it up the Skull in the middle of the fight area. It's incredibly hard to miss.

9: After the previous Skull, you'll pass through some enemy skulls and eventually reach 2 zombie enemies. The Crow Skull is on a rock just to the right of them. You need to defeat all the enemies in the area before you can pick it up but as with the previous one, it's incredibly hard to miss.

10: Immediately after the previous Skull, you'll come to some crates that will lead you up a tower ath leads to some rotating platforms. Before climbing up them, head to the far right side of the area and tucked in the back corner is the Crow Skull.

11: Just after the previous Skull, make your way up the tower and across the rotating platforms. When you reach the last tower, carefully make your way up to the top to get the Skull. If you collect it and fall into the water, it'll still count as being picked up, you'll just need to cross over the rotating platforms again to continue forward.

12: When you're back on the ground after the previous Skull, hug the right and just past the small building will be the Crow Skull behind a rock.

13: In the same area as the previous Skull. Hug the far left wall and you'll go up a small hill to where the Crow Skull is.

You'll complete the Pumpkin Head puzzle for Crash Boo-ndicoot between Skulls 13 &14.

14: After completing the Pumpkin Head puzzle and gaining access to the barn, there will be a cauldron you save at immediately inside. Just behind the cauldron (right next to it) are some crates you can climb up. Make your way to the top floor of the barn and on the far side will be the Crow Skull.

15: As you start making your way down into the Barn, you'll come to a room with a few zombie enemies and your first rat nest that you need to destroy. To the left of the rat nest is the Crow Skull.

16: After you jump down from the previous room, the Crow Skull will be behind a wall on the right side. Jump over some crates to reach it.

17: Note: You might be able to see #18 when going for this one (depends on how much you're looking around as you play). When you jump into the next room, you'll need to break a wall to progress forward. When you do, go to the far right side of the room and tucked in the back will be the Crow Skull.

18: After getting the previous Skull, you'll make your way up on some crates and across a beam. When you get to the other side, go left and jump over some crates. The Crow Skull will be on the other side.

19: HIGHLY MISSABLE. When you start the barn fire escape, the Crow Skull will be on the path you need to run. Immediately after you jump over the first gap, the Crow Skull will be on the right side.

20: After escaping the Barn, you'll save at a cauldron and make your way up some crates to a higher area with skulls shooting at you. As soon as you reach this higher area, go left and behind a wooden wall will be the final Crow Skull.

Crash Boo-ndicoot

Smashing some crates with your head might solve the barn's puzzle..
Story Related.

Roughly halfway through Chapter 1 (The Fields), you'll come to a barn that you won't be able to enter in your full-sized self. Instead, you'll need to remove your head and complete a small puzzle as just a pumpkin head. Inside the barn, there will be 2 Switches - one on a lower ledge and one on a higher ledge. In the middle are two crates that you can hit to move. Move one crate over to the lower ledged-switch. Climb up the crate and hit the switch. A platform in front of the other switch will lower. Move the other crate onto this newly lowered platform, then hit the lower switch again to raise it up. Move the crate over to the higher ledge and climb up. Hit the switch at the top to complete the puzzle and this trophy will unlock.

If you need a visual of this, please see Skull Finder for a walkthrough video of The Fields. This section appears at 12:02.
Curse of the Scarecrow

Kill the tyrannical Scarecrow and liberate the crows
Story Related.

The Scarecrow is the boss at the end of Chapter 1: The Fields. The fight isn't too difficult at all and will only have 3 phases that repeat.

Phase 1: The Scarecrow will fly up in the air and throw projectiles in your direction. Just keep running/straffing to avoid them. When he stops, send your Crow at him to knock him to the ground. When he's done, hit him a few times until he gets back up.

Phase 2: When he gets up after you hit him, he'll smash into the ground a few times, causing a firey wave to spread out that you need to jump over. He'll do this a handful of times. Just jump over them as they come.

Phase 3: After the waves, a few enemies will spawn that you need to take down. Be sure to use your Crow to help you out when it's available for use.

These phases will repeat at least 3 times (depending on how many hits you get in when the Crow takes him down). After the last hit, the fight will end and the trophy will unlock.

If you're having any trouble with this, please reference the video below showing all the Boss Fights. This one is the first one that appears in the video.
License to Drive

Pass your abandoned minecart driving test
Story Related.

In Chapter 2, you'll be introduced to minecarts. You'll get this trophy after your first ride on one. You don't have to complete the route without failing or anything, you just need to finish it. Just keep an eye out for your cues to jump () and shoot the walls down ().
Boogie-Man Wonderland

Find a gramophone and DANCE, DANCE, DANCE!
See Disk Jockey .
Bomberman

Complete all the underground bomb-bouncing courses
Story Related.

During Chapter 2, you'll go through two sections where you need to solve puzzles as just a Pumpkin Head. These will require you to hit a bomb through an obstacle course and into a cart full of explosives. You aren't timed through these so you can go at your own pace. If you fall off the obstacle course, you will start at the beginning but the bomb will remain where you left it. If the bomb falls off the obstacle course, you and the bomb will start back at the beginning. Neither of these are too difficult, just be mindful of switches and moving platforms that you jump to and from.

The trophy will unlock after you've completed the first course.

If you're having any issues, please see Skull Hobbyist for a walkthrough video of this chapter. These sections happen at 4:13 and 18:34.
Ghostbuster

Kill the Phantom guarding the ancient mines
Story Related.

The Phantom is the boss at the end of Chapter 2: The Haunted/Ancient Mines. The fight is pretty straight forward but require a bit more jumping than the Scarecrow in Chapter 1. There will be a few different moves this boss does, the first 3 of which will be in a random order and will progressively get quicker as the fight goes on :

1: The Phantom will slam down on the ground, creating waves that you need to jump over.

2: The Phantom will spawn enemy skeletons that you'll need to take out. They only take one hit to defeat to be sure to use your Crow to help eliminate them quickly. Using your jump attack (+) will help a lot here.

3: The Phantom will 'zoom' across the play area. The direction and path he takes will light up on the ground 1-2 seconds before he actually moves so be sure to move around so you're not standing on any of the glowing paths (there will be multiple at once).

4: The Phantom will stop on the side of the platforms and throw bombs in your direction. You need to walk up to any of them and hit them in the direction of the boss. It may take a few hits to reach him but once it collides with the boss, he'll take a hit.

Overall, you'll need to hit the boss with 3 Bombs so you'll repeat all the phases until you do. When he's been defeated, the trophy will unlock.

If you're having any trouble, please reference the Boss Fight video provided under Curse of the Scarecrow . This particular fight happens at 1:37.
Skull Hobbyist

Find all crow skulls in the ancient mines
There are 20 Crow Skulls in The Haunted/Ancient Mines. You don't need to get them all in one run and if you miss any, you won't need to re-pick up any on any additional playthroughs you need to do. Once you pick it up once, you have it forever. When A Crow Skull has not been collected, it will be glowing red. When you have collected it already, it will just be a basic greyed-out skull. If you need to replay a level to get any you missed, you don't need to complete the level for them to count. The autosave in this game is pretty forgiving so you can just pick them up and exit out.

If you prefer to use a video guide for these, please see below. If you prefer to use a text guide, the locations of the Crow Skulls found within The Fields are as follows:

1: Shortly after the start of the level, you'll come to an area where you need to climb up on a minecart rail to progress forward. Before doing so, there is a Crow Skull on the right side of the area.

2: When you climb up the rails and jump into the next area, go towards the cauldron. Turn around and opposite of the cauldron, on a ledge next to the wooden wall, is the Crow Skull.

3: You'll eventually reach an area where you need to defeat a few waves of enemies. The Crow Skull is in plain sight in this area. You need to defeat all of the enemies before you can pick it up.

4: Just after the previous Skull, you'll climb over a wall and find yourself before a large wall with a few sticks of dynamite stuck in it. In the middle of the wall that you jumped over is a small tower. On the roof of the tower is the Crow Skull.

The first Pumpkin Head Puzzle will happen between Skulls 4 & 5. You'll earn Bomberman here.

5: After the pumpkin skull section and the minecart ride, make your way forward until you have to defeat a single pink flying enemy with some ghosts around it. Behind them, next to some flammable crates, is the Crow Skull. You need to defeat all of the enemies before you can pick it up. There's a really good chance you'll accidentally hit the flammable crates while fighting. If you do, the Skull will be in the fire so be careful picking it up.

6: After the previous Skull, you'll climb up and around a tower then jump down into a new area. You'll have to defeat a few enemies when you first land but when you do, there will be a small tower on the right side. Inside the tower is the Crow Skull.

7: Continue forward from the previous Skull and you'll need to defeat a few waves of enemies. In the middle of this area is the Crow Skull. You need to defeat all of the enemies before you can pick it up.

8: Immediately after the previous Skull, you'll climb up a small tower and start to follow a cart rail. When you get towards the large wooden wall, you'll see the Crow Skull on a ledge below you on the right. Jump down to get it.

9: While on the large wooden wall, you'll cross over a few balance beams. After the first beams, you'll be in a tower. Jump down onto the ledge below to get the Crow Skull. There are a LOT of flammable crates here so be careful with swinging your weapon as you jump about.

10: Immediately after the previous Skull, you'll climb some hanging platforms and up to a higher tower. Before going across the next beams, climb onto the roof of this tower to get the Crow Skull.

The Gramophone is located between Skulls 10 &11. See Disk Jockey for the exact location.

11: Continue forward with the game and you'll make your way across some rails that you need to jump over moving minecarts to pass. When you reach the end, you'll be in a tower that you need to jump across a gap to reach another tower. Jump across the first gap but before you jump over the next gap, look down and you'll see the Crow Skull on a hanging platform below you.

12: Immediately after the previous Skull, you'll have to make your way across some more rails with moving minecarts on them. On top of the second hut will be the Crow Skull.

13: Just after the next cauldron, to the left of the cart you need to interact with to progress the story. It's up on some crates.

14: After you finish the next cart section, the Crow Skull will be behind the shelves randomly placed in the middle of the area.

15: After the previous Skull, you'll make your way through some enemies and up a ledge. When you reach the top ledge, you'll have to defeat a few waves of enemies. The Crow Skull is in this area. You won't be able to pick it up until you've defeated all of the enemies.

16: After the previous Skull, you'll make your way across some wooden platforms and up a tower. When you start climbing up, you'll need to defeat a pile of skulls to stop some ghosts from spawning. On the crates behind the pile is the Crow Skull. You need to defeat all of the enemies before you can pick it up.

17: Immediately after the previous Skull, you'll make your way across some balance beams. When you get to the other side, don't jump off to the left yet. Instead, go right and there will be a ladder leading up to a higher ledge. Climb up the crates and you'll see another ledge on the right. The Crow Skull is on this ledge.

18: Immediately after the previous Skull, you'll need to jump across a gap to a lower section. Just below the ledge is a hanging platform with the Crow Skull on it.

You'll complete the second Pumpkin Head section between Skulls 18 & 19.

19: After you complete the Pumpkin Head section, you'll find yourself up against a handful of enemies. In the middle of the area is a small tower. The Crow Skull is in the middle of the tower.

20: In the same area as the previous Skull, defeat all of the enemies and you'll be able to pick this up when you climb up the ledge to continue forward with the game.
Ghost Rider

Ride the ghost horse all the way to the end
Story Related.

During Chapter 3, you'll meet the merchant and eventually a steady and undeady horse that will take you to far away lands in exchange for a magic mushroom. Not even joking, lol. You'll ride 3 times during this chapter. After your first time, the trophy will unlock.
De-Composer

Make some magic mushroom music!
Story Related.

The musically-inclinded magic mushrooms are part of the Pumpkin Head puzzles you'll need to complete in Chapter 3. There are 2 in total and they both play like Simon Says but instead of gradually increasing the number of notes to memorize, you'll just get them all up front in one go. To start the puzzle, hit the golden mushroom in the center. From there, the mushrooms will light up in a specific order based on color (the golden mushroom will also shine a ray of light towards the mushroom playing, making it easier to follow). When it's done playing, you need to repeat the pattern by hitting the matching colored mushrooms in the correct order. After you complete the 1st puzzle, the trophy will unlock.

The first puzzle has 10 notes to hit and the second puzzle has 9. Their solutions are as follows:

1st Puzzle:

Green x4
Blue x1
Red x4
Yellow x1

2nd Puzzle:

Story Related.

The Witch and Merchant are the bosses you'll fight at the end of Chapter 3. Out of all the fights so far, this one is the most in depth/has the most moving parts to look out for. There are 3 Phases to this fight.

Phase 1: In the middle of fight area will be a large, 3-tiered tower with eyeballs all over it. During the first phase, the Witch will be throwing potions at you. The Blue Potions will damage the eyeballs, the Red Potions will damage you. When she throws the Blue Potions, you need to hit them into the eyeballs on the lowest tier of the tower. When all the eyes are gone, tentacles will appear around the ring. Hit them a few times to kill them and when they're all done, Phase 2 will start.

Phase 2: Now there will only be 2 tiers to the central tower but now there will also be tentacles rotating around the bottom that you'll need to jump over. You'll do the same as before. Hit the Blue Potions into the eyes and avoid the Red Potions. When all the eyes are gone, more tentacles will appear that you'll need to defeat. Along with the tentacles, the Merchant will also periodically try and hit you. The path he'll take will light up so when you see it, just move out of the way.

Phase 3: Now you'll be down to one single tier. Repeat the process of Phase 2 and quickly take the eyes out. When you do, the tower will disappear and the Witch & Merchant will land in the fight area. Hit them both a few times to defeat them, then go over to the Pumpkin hanging in the middle. Interact with it to pick it up.

Once you've defeated both the Witch and the Merchant (and picked up the Pumpkin Head), the trophy will unlock.

If you need a visual of this fight, please see the Boss Fight video provided under Curse of the Scarecrow . This fight happens at about the 20:58 mark.
Skull Collector

Collect all crow skulls in the swamp
There are 20 Crow Skulls in The Cursed Swamp. You don't need to get them all in one run and if you miss any, you won't need to re-pick up any on any additional playthroughs you need to do. Once you pick it up once, you have it forever. When A Crow Skull has not been collected, it will be glowing red. When you have collected it already, it will just be a basic greyed-out skull. If you need to replay a level to get any you missed, you don't need to complete the level for them to count. The autosave in this game is pretty forgiving so you can just pick them up and exit out.

If you prefer to use a video guide for these, please see below. If you prefer to use a text guide, the locations of the Crow Skulls found within The Fields are as follows:

1: After talking with the owl the first time, you'll have to go through some swingy spike logs. To the right of the 1st/2nd one is the Skull.

2: After a little bit of platforming across some towers, you'll eventually land in an area where you'll need to defeat a few waves of enemies. Once you do, the Crow Skull on top of the small hut will be available to pick up.

3: When you have to make your way up the tall tower to the rotating platforms, climb to the roof of this tower (before crossing the rotating platforms) to find the Crow Skull.

4: After crossing the rotating platforms mentioned in #3, go down the wooden bridge and you'll reach an area where a few waves of enemies will attack you. Defeat all of them, then climb up the small tower on the left to collect the Crow Skull.

5: In the same area as #4, jump across the boats off the small piers on the right and in about the 4th boat out will be the Crow Skull.

There will be a small dialogue scene that happens between Skulls 5 & 6.

6: You'll eventually come to an area where you'll need to defeat another few waves of enemies. When you've defeated them, the Crow Skull will be on the left side of the area, just by a table with a candle on it.

7: From the previous Skull, look out across the water to the right of the white/blue-ish platforms that are just next to where the previous Skull was. You'll see the Crow Skull behind some crates. Jump across the boat in the water to reach it.

8: After a bit of platforming through the swamp, you'll come to another cauldron/save point. Directly in front of you as you walk up to it, up on a wooden scaffolding, is the Crow Skull.

9: Just after the next balance beam section, you'll drop down into an area where you need to defeat a few waves of enemies. Do so and the Crow Skull will be available to pick up in the back, along the main pathway.

10: After talking with the Stranger the second time, you'll need to progress through a section with some mushrooms. At the second mushroom you need to eat, look left and you should see some crates stacked out in the water. Just beyond them is a small island with one enemy and the Crow Skull. Jump across the water using the crates to get to it. If you miss it here, you'll also be able to see it down below you as you cross the bridge with the swinging spikes a as you make your way to the next Skull.

11: When you pass over the bridge with the swinging spikes, you'll need to eat another mushroom. When you do, two paths will appear; one going left and one going right. Take the path left to reach the Skull.

You'll complete the first Pumpkin Head section for De-Composer between Skulls 11 & 12. You'll also take your first Ghost Horse ride for Ghost Rider .

12: After the Pumpkin Skull section and your first Horse Ride, you'll come to an area where you need to defeat a few waves of enemies before some story-related mushrooms will appear. Defeat all the enemies and the Crow Skull will become available to pick up just in front of the yellow mushrooms that appear.

13: Make your way across the 3 yellow mushrooms mentioned in #12. The Crow Skull is on top of the very first tower you come to when you get off the last mushroom. Jump across the platforms to the left and then to the back of the tower to reach it.

14: Just after #13, you'll shoot down a bridge to cross over some water. When you get to the other side, you'll climb up a tall tower. Climb all the way to the roof of this tower to reach the Skull.

You'll pick up the Gramophone for Disk Jockey between Skulls 14 & 15.

15: In the same area that you eat the Mushroom for the gramophone, you'll need to destroy a few rat nests. When you do, the Skull will be available for pick up in the middle of the main pathway.

16: After you pass by the second spikey log (across some yellow mushrooms), you'll drop down into an area with a 3rd spikey log. Before passing by it, turn around and at the trunk of the tree is the Crow Skull.

You'll complete the second Pumpkin Head section as well as take your second ghost horse ride between Skulls 16 & 17.

17: After the second Pumpkin Skull section and the second horse ride, you'll pass a few enemies before you eventually reach an area where you need to defeat a few waves of enemies to make some story-related mushrooms appear. Defeat all the enemies and the Crow Skull will be available to pick up right before the yellow mushrooms.

18: In the same area as #17, before you cross over the yellow mushrooms, climb up the small hut just to the right of the mushrooms to get the Crow Skull.

19: Just after #17/18, the area will turn more purple. There will be a large broken ship on the right that you'll pass but before you do, jump over it and on the other side will be the Crow Skull.

You'll take a boat ride between Skulls 19 & 20.

20: After the boat ride and after making your way throw the crow-infested forest, you'll come to a fountain that you need to defeat waves of enemies by. When you've taken them all out, the Skull will be available to pick up on the fountain.
Formula Ugh

Beat the gate guards to the gate they guard on guard carts
Story Related.

As you play through Chapter 4: Skele-Town, you'll eventually come to meet 3 Guards who will challenge you to a race. This will happen twice in during the level but only the 1st time is required for the trophy. To beat them in the race, you're going to put your thumb through some exercise. You need to spam for the entire race and shoot the guards with when they get in front of you. When you shoot them, their cart will stop. If they're in your way, hit them to temporarily take them out. They also manage to take themselves out a few times by running into walls and posts. Once you finish the race and come in 1st place, the trophy will unlock. If you don't come in 1st, you'll automatically restart the race. You can only progress with the story once you've won.
Whack-a-Mole

Win the game of Conveniently-Placed Hydraulic-Operated Underground Whack-a-Mole (patent pending)
Story Related.

The Whack-a-Mole game is part of the Pumpkin Head sections in Chapter 4: Skele-town. There are two of these sections to complete but you only need to do the 1st one for the trophy.

During these minigames, you'll be in a room full of holes. Periodically, little pegs will appear from the holes which you need to run over to and hit. When you do, a lever in the back will raise up a little bit. You need to keep hitting them until the lever goes all the way up. It does go back down when you don't hit anything so make sure you're moving around accordingly to hit as many pegs as quickly as you can.

If you need a visual of how to do these, please see this chapter's walkthrough video provided under Skull Aficionado . They happen at 10:54 and 19:00, respectively.
The Bigger They Are...

Be the David to Dhor's Goliath (i.e. kill the big guy)
Story Related.

You'll get this trophy when you defeat the final boss of Chapter 4: Skele-town. The fight is pretty straight forward so you won't have too much trouble with this one. He has a sequence of moves that he'll repeat 3 times (save for one of the attacks, see below).

1: The boss will chase you around the area either trying to hit you with a spin attack or smash you with his hammer. After you evade his attacks 3-4 times, a short cutscene will play out of some guards bringing out a tower. A few enemies will spawn here as well but if you lure the boss to them, he can actually take them out for you. When the tower is present, you need to get the boss to hit it about 3-4 times to destroy it. When he does, he'll take damage. From here, the arena ground will turn into lava and there will be a few sets of 3 rocks spread about. Jump on these rocks to avoid the lava and the boss will shoot some projectiles at you. You need to jump from rock to rock to avoid these as well. After a few seconds, the lava will disappear and the entire process will repeat.

After the 1st hit, there will be minimal "fire lines" on the ground that you need to avoid.
After the 2nd hit, there will be a lot more of these lines that you need to avoid.

Once he takes his 3rd hit, he'll be down for the count and the trophy will unlock.

Collect all crow skulls in Skeletown
There are 20 Crow Skulls in Skele-town. You don't need to get them all in one run and if you miss any, you won't need to re-pick up any on any additional playthroughs you need to do. Once you pick it up once, you have it forever. When A Crow Skull has not been collected, it will be glowing red. When you have collected it already, it will just be a basic greyed-out skull. If you need to replay a level to get any you missed, you don't need to complete the level for them to count. The autosave in this game is pretty forgiving so you can just pick them up and exit out.

If you prefer to use a video guide for these, please see below. If you prefer to use a text guide, the locations of the Crow Skulls found within The Fields are as follows:

1: When you get to the breakable wall, before actually breaking/going through it, go to the left and behind some scaffolding will be the Skull.

2: After speaking with the owl the first time, face it, then go all the way left alongside the small river. Just to the right of a tree with a blue light on it is a platform you can jump to that has the Crow Skull on it.

3: Immediately after #2, finish crossing the river and the Crow Skull is on the other side.

4: After getting up on the wall (after collecting the 4 wooden planks), you'll need to defeat a few waves of enemies before you can push a cart into some explosives. When you defeat all the enemies, you will be able to pick up the Crow Skull, just to the right of the explosives.

5: After the first exploding cart/crates (from #4), you'll need to get past one shielded enemy, then you'll end up in a lower area with another shielded enemy. The Crow Skull on the tower on the left. Climb up some crates to reach it.

6: Immediately after #6, you'll jump across 2 gaps to reach another platform with some rotating arrows. There is a shielded enemy just to the left (this is the way to go to progress the story) but to the right is a wall you can jump on that has the Crow Skull and as well as the Gramophone.

7: In the area with the first guy with the large crossbow shooting at you (when you have to move the minecart), the Crow Skull is in the first tower on the left when you first drop into the area.

8: When you blow up the first crossbow (a Pumpkin Head puzzle pedestal will appear), go right before you start the Pumpkin Head section and on a pier will be the Crow Skull.

You'll complete the first Pumpkin Head section for Whack-a-Mole between Skulls 8 & 9.

9: After completing the Pumpkin Head section, climb up the crates and up to the first hanging platform. Instead of going left (towards the other hanging platforms), go right and around the other side of the tower. Stand on the edge of the last platform and look out over the water. Just above the pier below is the Crow Skull floating in the air.

10: From the previous Skull, jump back to the hanging platforms and cross over them. When you get to the other side, there will be a rotating arrow device. Just to the right of this is the Crow Skull.

You'll complete the first Guard Race and unlock Formula Ugh between Skulls 10 & 11.

11: After completing the first race, you'll immediately come to a cauldron/save point. Just to the left of this, on a hanging platform, is the Crow Skull.

12: Immediately after #11, drop down into the grassy area and on the pier on the right will be the Crow Skull.

13: As soon as the second Boat ride starts, the Crow Skull will be on the first platform on the left.

14: After you complete the Boat ride mentioned above, you'll end up at a cauldron/save point. Climb the fiery tower just to the right and the Crow Skull will be on top with an enemy.

15: Immediately after #14, you'll need to defeat a few waves of enemies. When you do, you'll be able to pick up the Skull in the middle of the main pathway, near where you were fighting the enemies.

16: In the same area as #15, just before the large tower you need to climb (to reach the Pumpkin Head pedestal), there will be another tower leaning in the water on the right side. Climb up to the top to reach the Crow Skull.

You'll complete the second Pumpkin Head section between Skulls 16 & 17.

17: When you reach the next minecart that you need to push, there will be a rat's nest that you need to destroy just behind it. On the other side of the same tower the nest is on is the Crow Skull.

18: After passing over the hanging platforms with the shielded sniper enemies, you'll drop down and come to a cauldron/save point. Just to the right of the cauldron is a tower. On the other side of the tower is the Crow Skull.

19: After you speak with the Owl again, you'll need to defeat a few waves of enemies before you'll be able to push a minecart into some explosive crates. Just to the left of the crates is the Skull. You need to defeat the enemies before you'll be able to pick it up.

20: Just after #19, you'll be in an area where you need to take out rats and their nests. There are two rotating arrow mechanisms here. Under the one on the right side of the area is the Crow Skull. You may need to break some crates before you'll be able to see it.
High Flyer

Go for a nice walk with Abelard the Gargoyle
Story Related.

As you play through Chapter 5: The Spooky Cemetery, you'll eventually come to a point where you'll ride "on" (more like under) a Gargoyle. This will happen twice but the trophy will pop after the first time. The mechanics to the Gargoyle aren't too different from your Ghost Horse ride in the Swamp. The Gargoyle will always be sinking down as it flies so just press to bring it back up when needed. Outside of that, you just need to steer them away from obstacles and the such.

Hunger Killer

Solve world hunger (by killing Gluttony)
Story Related.

You'll unlock this trophy when you defeat the final boss in Chapter 5: The Spooky Cemetery and it's by far one of the easier fights in the game. There will be one sequence that repeats 3 times.

First, the boss will swipe with his arm/a knife that you need to double jump over. From there, he'll pound into the ground, causing waves to spread out from him that you need to jump over. After the last one, he'll swipe with his arm/knife again. Afterwards, he'll spawn some enemies that you need to take out. As you do, he'll try and stab you with a knife so be sure to evade () as much as you can to avoid getting hit. Once you defeat the last enemy, he'll do one more swipe with his arm/knife, then spawn two pedestals and a portal. Jump on the pedestals and into the portal. On the other side, there will be 3 columns and a flying skull. The skull will periodically dash in your direction, which you'll need to avoid. You need to lure him into the columns so they break. After the 3rd column is gone, you'll be transported back outside.

This will repeat 3 times. After each loop, green goo spots will appear in the fight area so just be mindful not to run into them. Once the columns through the portal are destroyed the 3rd time, the boss will go down for the count and the trophy will unlock.

If you need a visual of this fight, please reference the Boss fight video provided under Curse of the Scarecrow . This particular fight is at 13:09.

Collect all crow skulls in the graveyard
There are 20 Crow Skulls in The Spooky Cemetery/Graveyard. You don't need to get them all in one run and if you miss any, you won't need to re-pick up any on any additional playthroughs you need to do. Once you pick it up once, you have it forever. When A Crow Skull has not been collected, it will be glowing red. When you have collected it already, it will just be a basic greyed-out skull. If you need to replay a level to get any you missed, you don't need to complete the level for them to count. The autosave in this game is pretty forgiving so you can just pick them up and exit out.

If you prefer to use a video guide for these, please see below. If you prefer to use a text guide, the locations of the Crow Skulls found within The Fields are as follows:

1: After you speak with the gravekeeper the first time, go right and in the second building/crypt on the left will be the Crow Skull.

2: Just past the previous Skull, there will be a fork in the road. At the fork, go right and on the other side of the crypt at the top of the small hill will be the Crow Skull behind a tree.

3: Just by #2, there will be some columns just in front of the Crypt. On top of the highest column is the Crow Skull.

4: In the same area as the previously 3, at the fork in the road, go straight (from #1) or right (from #3) and the Crow Skull will be just in front of a snake statue.

5: To the path going left from the strange old man, there will be some columns on the left side. On the first all one is the Crow Skull. There's a broken down/toppled column on the right side that you can jump up to reach the columns on the left.

6: In the same area, go left of the crypt that has the grimoire in it and through a tree trunk. On the other side will be the Crow Skull.

7: After collecting the grimoires and opening up the gate, you'll need to climb up a small tower to progress (this will be after you jump over a couple of gaps). Before you do, just to the right of the tower is a wooden platform with some crates stacked on it, sort of sticking out off the edge of the cliff. Behind the crates is the Crow Skull.

8: Make your way up the tower mentioned in #7 and across a large gap. When you reach the other side, there will be another tower for you to climb on the right. Before you do, go straight to where some crates are stacked and just behind them will be the Crow Skull.

9: After defeating the first totem gargoyle, make your way across the stone columns and jump down into the area. You'll be just next to a disheveled bridge of sorts. Climb up on top of the bridge to get the Crow Skull.

You'll take your first Gargoyle ride and unlock High Flyer between Skulls 9 & 10.

10: After taking your first flight with the Gargoyle, you'll land in a circular area. On top of one of the columns is the Crow Skull.

11: After speaking with the grave keeper again, he'll ask you to get rid of some headstones. Before you do, go through the gate to the right of him and jump inside the first crypt on the right. At the end of the tunnel is the Crow Skull. There's a headstone you need to destroy down here as well so you'll see it along your headstone-destroying travels.

You'll complete the first Pumpkin Head section and unlock Ain't no rest for the wicked between Skulls 11 & 12.

12: After completing the Pumpkin Head area and opening up the gate, you'll make your way across some balance beams. On the left side of these is the Crow Skull - it's really hard to miss.

13: After crossing the balance beams in #12, jump down and before you actually go into the area with the crates, go right along the edge of the cliff, towards a tree. Just behind it, around a corner to the left, will be the Crow Skull.

14: After you defeat the next gargoyle totem, you'll jump down into an area with 2 flying enemies. On the left side of this area is the Crow Skull. You need to defeat all the enemies in this area before you can pick it up.

15: Immediately after #15 is a bridge but below the bridge is a small area you can jump down into. Jump down the Crow Skull will be at the end of the little pathway.

16: Just after #15, you'll need to climb up onto a log by using some crates. When you're on the log, follow it to the left and then down a second log to reach the Crow Skull.

17: After crossing back over the log mentioned in #16 and continuing forward on the main path, you'll very shortly after reach a cauldron/save point. Go left of the cauldron and around the small building to find the Crow Skull.

18: Inside the Cathedral, on a crate on the right side. It's incredibly hard to miss this one.

19: When you reach the large cathedral with the glowing stain glass windows, run around to the backside and face the cathedral (your back will be towards the vendor). On the left side of the cathedral are some crates you can climb up. Do so and follow the platforms up until you see a broken area of the Catherdral roof that you can jump into (it's only a few platforms up). In this area is the Crow Skull.

You'll complete the second Pumpkin Head section between Skulls 19 & 20, depending on what order you destroy the gargoyle/statues in.

20: When you have to destroy the statues, you'll come to one where you have to put some Crow Skulls on some pedestals. Before placing the 3 on the pedestals in front of the gate (you'll get them back eventually), go up the log on the left and climb up the columns to reach the Crow Skull.

The Gramophone for Disk Jockey is in this same area. Instead of going up the log on left, go down the log on the right.

On the other side of the presents, a glowing shape outline will appear. You need to hit a matching-shaped present into the glowing outline. When you do, it'll explode, causing damage to the workshop. You'll need to keep hitting presents until the bar at the top of screen fills up, at which time the entire workshop will explode (you monster). While there are two differenct sections, the trophy will unlock after you complete the 1st one.

Skull Obsessive

Collect all crow skulls in the North
There are 20 Crow Skulls in The North. You don't need to get them all in one run and if you miss any, you won't need to re-pick up any on any additional playthroughs you need to do. Once you pick it up once, you have it forever. When A Crow Skull has not been collected, it will be glowing red. When you have collected it already, it will just be a basic greyed-out skull. If you need to replay a level to get any you missed, you don't need to complete the level for them to count. The autosave in this game is pretty forgiving so you can just pick them up and exit out.

If you prefer to use a video guide for these, please see below. If you prefer to use a text guide, the locations of the Crow Skulls found within The Fields are as follows:

1: After talking with the Owl the first time, you'll go into an area with some demonic snowmen. There are 3 total but when you approach the back 2, you'll start a little mini gauntlet. Defeat all the waves of enemies and the Crow Skull will be able to be picked up.

2: Before continuing forward from #1 (don't jump towards the cauldron), climb up the tower on the right side of the area and at the end of some balance beams will be the Crow Skull.

3: Immediately to the right of #2 is the 3rd Skull down below. When you approach it, a few waves of enemies will spawn. You need to defeat them before you can pick it up.

4: Continue forward to the cauldron mentioned in #2. On the left side will be some shielded sniper enemies but on the right will be a floating island of sorts. Climb over to and around the little island to get the Crow Skull.

5: After crossing the first plasma bridge, you'll jump down into an area with a handful of demonic snowmen. Defeat them to get them out of the way, then look out at the water on the right. You should see the Crow Skull floating in the water. Use the ice to jump to it.

6: Just after #5, you'll need to climb up a tall tower that will have some skulls on spikes shooting at you. On the roof of this tower is the Crow Skull (don't jump over to where the rats are until you get it).

7: After you jump down to where the rats are, you'll shortly after jump down to where a demonic snowman is. After defeating him, go right towards the floating islands (there will be a handful of shielded sniper enemies over here, among others). Defeat all the enemies and you'll be able to pick up the Crow Skull on the last island.

8: Immediately after #7, jump back one island and there will be a path leading down to the left that will take you around the bottom side of the island. Follow it to the end to reach the Skull.

9: After crossing the plasma bridges, you'll drop down into a little town-like area and come immediately to a cauldron/save point. To the left of the cauldron is the Skull. Use the ice in the water to reach it.

10: Immediately after #9, cross over the water to the next area and go right along the water. Behind a tanning rack is the Skull.

11: After blowing up the door and progressing into the next area, you'll need to defeat a handful of waves of enemies before you can continue. When you defeat them, you'll be able to pick up the Crow Skull just to the left of the house with the uneven doors/light shining through.

You'll complete the first Pumpkin Head section and unlock The Worst Achievement Possible between Skulls 11 & 12.

12: After the Pumpkin Head section, you'll need to defeat a few waves of enemies before you can continue forward. When you do defeat them, you'll be able to pick up the Crow Skull on the left side of this area.

13: From #12, look to the left out across the water to see the Crow Skull. Jump across the ice to reach it.

14: Cross over the next plasma bridge and you'll come to another few waves of enemies you need to defeat. When you do, you'll be able to pick up the Crow Skull on the left side of this area.

15: From #14, look out across the water to the right and you'll be able to see the Crow Skull floating in the water. Jump across the ice to reach it.

You'll pick up the Gramophone for Disk Jockey between Skulls 15 & 16. If you've collected all of the Gramophones up to this point, Disk Jockey will unlock.

16: In the same area as the gramophone, you need to hit the switches so they form a bridge leading to the tower on the right side. Once you can reach it, climb to the top to get the Crow Skull.

17: After you complete the boat ride and push the minecart into the explosives, you'll make your way up to a portal but don't go through it yet. Instead, go to the left of the portal (up on a scaffolding) and jump down across the platforms to reach the Skull.

18: After going through the portal (You'll Float, Too will unlock here), jump onto the island just after the cauldron and defeat the ghosts and flame shooting skull. On the right side of this island is a tall tower. On the roof of the tower is the Crow Skull.

19: After you take the zipline and land in the little town-like area, go right and there will be a building on an island in the middle of a pond. On the other side of this building is the Crow Skull.

You'll complete the second Pumpkin Head section between Skulls 19 & 20.

20: Immediately after completing the Pumpkin Head section, you'll come to an area with a very large portal. Ignore the portal for now. As soon as you enter this area, the Crow Skull will be on the right.
Full Closet

Fill out your wardrobe
You need to pick up all of the Crow Skulls and use them to buy the costumes/skins. You can purchase them from the Vendor (he appears in each Chapter, usually tucked away in a corner/not in plain sight) or you can just purchase them on the main menu under the "Skins" option. After you buy your first one, Fashion Victim will unlock but you'll need to purchase them all for this trophy. Again, you need to pick up all of the Crow Skulls before you'll be able to afford them all. During The Spooky Cemetery chapter, you'll need to "sacrifice" 4 Skulls to progress through the story but don't worry, you'll automatically get these back when the section that requires them is done.

Once you have purchased the last costume/skin, the trophy will unlock.
Disk Jockey

Make vinyls cool again. ...Actually, that's impossible, even as a joke. Just find all the gramophones.
There are a total of 6 Gramophones to pick up, one in each Chapter. These will all be off the beaten path so you'll need to go out of your way to collect them. If you miss any, you can replay the Chapter to get it. Once you pick it up/do your little dance, you can exit out back to the main menu (you don't need to complete the Chapter for it to save).

The locations of all the Gramophones are as follows:

The Fields: When you're stopped by the murder of Crows who tell you about the Scarecrow harassing them, you'll use the Crows to shoot down your first bridge. Before crossing it, go left and you'll be able to see some wooden planks. At the end of these is the Gramophone.

The Haunted/Ancient Mines: You'll eventually reach a section with a cauldron and 3 pink flying enemies just after it. Defeat them and then look on the wooden wall on the right. You'll see a gap in the middle with some rails leading out. Follow these rails all the way to the end to get the Gramophone.

The Cursed Swamp: When you have to do the second Mushroom section (after your first ride on the ghost horse), jump across the first few until you come to a set of 3. When you land on the tower after these, jump down and to the right will be a mushroom behind a tree. Eat the mushroom and make your way all the way across to the Gramophone.

Skele-Town: This will appear just after you're introduced to the shielded sniper enemies. After the first two, you'll jump across two gaps and reach a platform with some rotating arrows on it. Just to the left of this is another shielded sniper enemy but to the right is a wall you can jump on. The Gramophone (as well as a Crow Skull) is on this wall. The Gramophone is on the right side of it.

The Spooky Cemetery/Graveyard: When you get to the part where you have to destroy Gargoyle/statues, you'll reach one where you need to sacrifice 3 Crow Skulls to open up a gate. Before you do, go right of the pedestals requiring the Skulls and go down the log to reach the Gramophone.

The North: After the first Pumpkin Head section, you'll cross over a plasma bridge and eventually come to a large, open area with a handful of plasma bridges and trigger points (this will be just after a Cauldron/save point). Go across the bridge after the Cauldron and then hit the trigger so a bridge appears to the right. Cross over it and make your way up the small floating rocks to reach the Gramophone.

Once you've picked up your final Gramophone, the trophy will unlock.
You've Got A Problem, Man

Collect every single crow skull in the world
There are a total of 120 Crow Skulls that you need to collect in the game. You don't need to get them all in one go and clean up any you missed via Chapter Select. Once you pick up a Skull, you have it forever so if you need to replay any chapter, you can just focus on the ones you're missing instead of re-picking up any. If you do need to replay any chapter, you just need to pick up the Skull(s) you're missing and then can exit back out to the main menu (the game autosaves after each one you pick up). The individual locations of each Skull are listed under the respective trophies so please see the following trophies for their locations (these will also narrow down the locations of the Gramophones for you as well):

Chapter 1: The Fields: Skull Finder
Chapter 2: The Haunted/Ancient Mines: Skull Hobbyist
Chapter 3: The Cursed Swamp: Skull Collector
Chapter 4: Skele-Town: Skull Aficionado
Chapter 5: The Spooky Cemetery/Graveyard: Skull Fanatic
Chapter 6: The North: Skull Obsessive

Once you've collected all 120 Crow Skulls in the game, the trophy will unlock. You will also need all of these for Full Closet since all of the costumes collectively will cost you 120 Crow Skulls.

The Baddest Bad Guy

Kill the Wizard + Get the Amulet = Profit
Story Related.

This trophy will unlock once you've defeated the final boss of Chapter 6: The North, which is also the final boss of the game. As expected, this is arguably the most difficult fight in the game due to one particular move the Wizard has. As with the other bosses, the Wizard has a few moves that it'll cycle through and will require 3 sets of "hits" to be defeated.

First, a handful of circles will appear on the ground. After not but a second, lightning strikes will hit where the circles are so you need to evade them and just run around the area. When they're done, the Wizard will spawn a few twisters/tornados that you need to avoid getting hit by. The next and honestly worst part of this entire fight (IMO), the Wizard will shoot a wall in your direction that has a single hole that you'll need to jump through. The angle and height of the hole will vary so you'll need to determine if a single jump will do the trick or if you'll need to double jump. After the walls are done, 4 pedestals will appear that you need to quickly destroy. When you do, the Wizard will be vulnerable to attacks so just go ham and attack them.

This process will repeat at least 3 times (if at any vulernable point you don't hit them enough/quick enough, there's a chance you'll need to do an extra round of everything). Between each round, the Wizard will destroy sections of the play area, giving you less and less room to move around so be careful not to accidentally jump off the edge.

Once you've defeated the Wizard, the trophy will unlock. If you need a visual of this fight, please see the Boss fight provided under Curse of the Scarecrow . This particular fight happens at about 17:00.
