Dark Cloud 2

Dark Cloud 2 is a third-person action-RPG first released on the PlayStation 2 in 2002, and revamped with trophy support for the PlayStation 4 in 2016. The game is a spiritual sequel to Dark Cloud as it uses the same procedurally-generated dungeons and real time hack and slash playstyle, yet possesses a new plot and characters.

Max is a young boy who is forced to flee from the sanctity of his town after an enemy attempts to take away a stone in his possession. He teams up with Monica, a princess from one hundred years in the future, and together they set off on a quest where the past, present, and future collide.

The original Dark Cloud 2 for the PS2 received positive reviews with an average score of 89%, praised for its gameplay, story, colorful characters, weapon upgrade system, and graphics.

The 3-star difficulty is for both the difficulty and time required. The Medalhead trophy in particular, which requires fulfilling challenges in order to collect medals, can be quite frustrating as it requires a fair bit of preparation and luck. Also, while the game still includes a post-game free roam, there are still a number of missable trophies to be concerned with. Overall, the platinum is more difficult and time-consuming than its predecessor, but still doable.

Expect around 120-140 hours of gameplay for the platinum.

To begin, there are four missable trophies to be concerned with: A True Visionary, Medalhead, Monster Master, and Take A Picture It Will Last Longer. The point of no-return is the final boss in Chapter 7, as you will be locked out of Moon Flower Palace, Kazarov Stonehenge, and other future areas after defeating him. So feel free to play up until facing the final boss in Chapter 7, and make sure it is safe to proceed before taking him on.

Near the beginning of the story, you will come in possession of the camera. From this point on, make sure to be on the lookout for photos and scoops in order to start working towards the Take A Picture It Will Last Longer trophy, which requires 700 points in total, out of the 750 points which are available. Check out the link for the ideas, scoops, and inventions guide under our Links tab for more details. You can also use this link to help with unlocking A True Visionary trophy, which is another missable trophy which needs to be unlocked before the final boss in Chapter 7.

You’ll also want to unlock the Fighting For Fun trophy as early in the game as possible. This involves defeating 200 enemies without dying, which of course will become more difficult as you progress through the game.

Aside from that, you’ll want to focus your time on leveling your Ridepod and weapons to prepare for the boss battles in Chapter 7. This means unlocking the Core Strength trophy for acquiring Steve and Ridepod’s master grade core, A Royal Arsenal trophy for building up Monica’s Island King and Five Star Armlet weapons, and the LEGENDary trophy for building up Max’s Legend and Supernova weapons. Lastly, you’ll need to obtain all 12 monster transformation badges for the Monster Master trophy, as well.

Once all that is finished, it’s time to focus on earning all medals in every chapter up to this point for the Medalhead trophy. These are a collection of challenges which often include speedruns, defeating enemies in a particular way, fishing, and playing Spheda. Some of these can be quite challenging. Be sure to check out the Dark Cloud 2 trophy guide links under our Links tab for more specific details.

Once you feel you are ready, go ahead and defeat the final bosses at the end of Chapter 7, which will end the game and unlock the Palace Of Flowers trophy.

From here, you will embark on the Zelmite Mine bonus dungeon in Chapter 8, where you will be able to unlock the Medalhead trophy. You can also spend this time unlocking any other of the unmissable outstanding trophies at this point. Defeat the Dark Genie, which is the last boss, to unlock The Forgotten Adventure trophy.

Unravel Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Unravel Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ** A side-scrolling platformer with puzzles to solve. The game is not particularly long, and not too difficult for average players.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Unravel ** 26 Coldwood Interactive Sweden 10 8 7 0 0

Unravel

Unravel is a side-scrolling puzzle platformer, often compared in style to the LittleBigPlanet series. Players control the protagonist Yarny, a creature made of red yard, who can use the yarn from its body to swing from objects, pull things, and form rope bridges, in order to solve complex puzzles and reach the goal.

Yarny is born out of a ball of red yarn used by an old woman. It soon begins to explore the environment, learning about the home owner’s lives through its memories.

Unravel received positive reviews with an average score of 80%, praised for its visuals, puzzles, and story, though criticized by some for its controls.

The game is often compared to the LittleBigPlanet series, only not as difficult, far shorter, and no online trophies to worry about. Also, like LittleBigPlanet, chapters can be replayed in any order, which means there are no missable trophies, either. However, you will need to find all the collectibles in each chapter, as well as clear each individual chapter without dying. Overall however, the Platinum is not particularly difficult nor time consuming.

Expect roughly around 10-15 hours for the Platinum, depending on whether or not you are following a guide, and your skills at clearing chapters without dying.

Aside from completing each chapter, you will also need to find all five secrets in each chapter to work towards the No Stone Unturned trophy, clear each chapter without dying for the Not So Fragile After All trophy, and perform a miscellaneous challenge for its respective trophy.

After you complete the game, you will be able to select any level to replay, which means there are no missable trophies. As a result, it’s up to you whether you want to simply play the game first, or attempt to get all the trophies in one go.

If you are having trouble finding the five secrets in each chapter, check out the collectible and walkthrough guides under our Links tab.

For the miscellaneous challenge related trophies, be sure to check out the Unravel trophy guide links under our Links tab to learn what to do, and how to do it.

Otherwise, good luck, and enjoy the tale of Yarny.

Chaos on Deponia Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Chaos on Deponia Trophy Guide. Difficulty: * A point-and-click adventure which follows the events of the 2012 Deponia game. If following a guide, the Platinum can easily be obtained in just a few hours.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Chaos on Deponia * 35 Daedalic Entertainment Germany 14 16 4 0 0

Chaos on Deponia

Chaos on Deponia is a point-and-click adventure, and a sequel to the 2012 Deponia. Like its predecessor, players control the protagonist Rufus, solving puzzles by collecting objects and using them or combining them to interact with machines, in order to progress through the story.

Following the events of the previous game, Rufus is still seeks to get off the landfill-planet called Deponia and head to the flying city of Elysium. Having changed his ways, he must also save his love interest Goal from a problem that he created.

Chaos on Deponia received generally positive reviews with an average score of 75%, praised for its lively visuals and overall fun, though both criticized for some faults in the storyline and voice acting.

Since the game is a point-and-click adventure, there is no real skill required except an ability to solve puzzles. Moreover, if you follow one of the walkthroughs under our Links tab, you can easily breeze through the game in just a few hours and unlock the Platinum by the end of your playthrough, hence the 1-star level of difficulty.

If using a walkthrough, the Platinum can be obtained in just 3 or 4 hours.

There is no chapter select, so all those missable trophies should be collected in one playthrough.

If you are in a rush for that Platinum, be sure to follow one of the walkthroughs under our Links tab. And of course, check out the Chaos on Deponia trophy guide links as well, for more specific details on each trophy.

The Pin-Up Goal and Cheater trophies cannot be unlocked on the same save file. This means you will need to make a backup save, unlock one trophy, then reload to obtain the other trophy.

For the Animal Lover trophy, you will need to perform three different actions. The first is in the Tavern in Act 2, the second is in Doc’s Workshop in Act 2, and the third is in the Rebel Hideout in Act 3. Again, check out the Chaos on Deponia trophy guide links under the Links tab for more specifics. However, if you are following one of the walkthroughs, then these three actions will be noted during the playthrough.

Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark Trophy Guide PS4

Editorial Team

Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark Trophy Guide. Difficulty: n/o A third-person action shooter based on the Transformers franchise. Since the online servers were closed in Spring of 2020, the online trophies, and Platinum, is now Not Obtainable.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is a third-person action shooter based on the Transformers franchise, and is the third title in the Cybertron series. Players select from a roaster of transformer characters, each with their own unique abilities, with upgradeable weapons. The game also includes a new online multiplayer mode called Escalation, in which up to four players fight off waves of enemies. The online servers were closed in Spring of 2020.

The storyline is split between events on Earth which take place before the events of the 2014 film Transformers: Age of Extinction, and on Cybertron taking place before the events of the 2012 game Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Both storylines surround the Dark Spark, a powerful artifact which can tear holes in dimensions, allowing the two Transformers universes together.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark received negative reviews with an average score of 44%, praised for its co-op multiplayer and interesting weapons, but criticized for campaign and storyline and unbalanced difficulty level.

The game was first released in June 2014, and would have received a low 2-star difficulty rating. Unfortunately, Activision closed the online servers to many of their Transformer game titles without warning, in Spring of 2020. Since Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark has 13 online trophies which can no longer be unlocked, the Platinum has therefore become Not Obtainable.

NOTE: The trophies on the PS4 have a separate list from those on the PS3.

Since the online servers were closed in Spring of 2020, the 13 online trophies, as well as the Platinum, have become Not Obtainable. However, if you still wish to continue collecting those 37 offline trophies, then read on.

There are no difficulty-related trophies, so feel free to start the campaign on Easy mode.

Since there is a chapter select available, there are no missable trophies to worry about. However, if you wish to avoid replaying missions, be sure to check out the Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark trophy guide links under our Links tab for the chapter-specific trophies. These include the Snitches Get Stitches trophy in chapter 1, the Spectacularly Amazing trophy in chapter 3, the Softly Softly Catchee Monkey trophy in chapter 5, the No One Gets Outta Here Alive trophy in chapter 6, the What Could Go Wrong trophy in chapter 7, the I’d Like To Leave Here Please in chapter 8, The Sting Like A trophy in chapter 10, the You Get Nothing Good Day Sir trophy in chapter 11, and both the Tread Lightly and Make Peace Not War trophies in chapter 13.

There are also several collectibles to find. Though luckily, many of these are restricted to one or two chapters. Again, check out the Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark trophy guide links under our Links tab for more details.

After completing the campaign, use the chapter select to mop up any missed trophies, excluding the Covenant Of Primus trophy.

Once you have reached Rank 25, you can activate Prime Mode, which gives you some special abilities, but removes all your weapons and upgrades as you are reset back to Rank 1. You will also lose all progress towards kill-related trophies, and collectibles. For this reason, save activating Prime Mode for last. Once you do, you will unlock the Covenant Of Primus trophy.

Unfortunately, with the servers closed down, this is as far as we can go.

Burly Men At Sea Trophy Guide

Burly Men At Sea Trophy Guide. Difficulty: * A point-and-click visual novel with multiple endings and incorporates creatures inspired by Scandinavian folktales. The game is quite short and easy to Platinum if following a walkthrough.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC

Burly Men At Sea

Burly Men At Sea is a cross between a visual novel and a point-and-click adventure. Players become the storyteller as they guide the protagonists, having them perform actions and make decisions, which can alter the course of the story. The game repeats itself in a loop so that the player has the chance to explore each possible story and ending.

Told as a folktale, three Burly Bearded Men named Hasty Beard, Brave Beard, and Steady Beard, discover a bottle drifting at sea which contains a map. Setting sail to discover the meaning of the map, the three Burly Bearded Men encounter adventures and creatures from Scandinavian folklore.

Burley Men At Sea received positive reviews from critics with an average score of 78%, praised for its artistic visuals, music, and story, though criticized by some for its short gameplay and repetitive aspects.

While the Platinum requires a minimum of 12 playthroughs, each playthrough is quite short. There is no skill required, as you simply move your character around and interact with objects, much like a point-and-click adventure. All trophies are either linked to one of the multiple endings in the story, or for performing a specific action which is often required anyway for reaching a particular ending.

If you are following a walkthrough, the Platinum can be earned in just a few hours.

There are 12 possible endings to the game, which means you will need at least 12 playthroughs. All other trophies are related to events performed throughout the game. If you are following one of the walkthroughs under our Links tab, you will automatically unlock these trophies on your route to the Platinum.

The game loops from the selected ending to the beginning again, allowing you to replay until you’ve experienced each of the endings and unlocked the Platinum. In a nutshell, the endings can be divided into three sections.

The first set have to do with choosing to wear barrels when exiting the whale, which can result in four different endings.

The second set is when you choose not to wear the barrels, which again has four endings associated with this.

The third and final set occur when you sit and wait inside the whale, which connects with the last four endings.

If you wish to unlock all endings and thereby all trophies with as little time as possible, we highly recommend following one of the walkthroughs under our Links tab, which will take you step-by-step through each of the possible stories. Also, if you need any details regarding a particular trophy, be sure to check out the Burley Men At Sea trophy guide links under our Links tab.
