Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is an action-adventure open world which mixes the historical genre with sci-fi, and is the sixth installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and a sequel to the 2012 Assassin's Creed III. Black Flag is also the first of the series to appear on the PlayStation 4 as well as the PlayStation 3.

Set in 18th Century Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, Edward Kenway - the grandfather of Assassin's Creed III's Ratonhnhake:ton, is a privateer-turned-pirate-turned-assassin, who is attempting to uncover a conspiracy between the Templars and their dealings with the British and Spanish empires. These memories are unearthed by an unnamed player character who is hired by Abstergo Entertainment using samples from Desmond Miles' body.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag received positive reviews, with an average score of 89%, for its beautiful graphics, ability to revitalize the series, and overall fun gameplay.

Considered easier than Assassin's Creed III, Black Flag has your standard offline trophies which can be unlocked during the free roaming phase after completing the story. There are 6 online trophies, the most time consuming being Committed To The Cause in which you must reach level 55 in multiplayer. But aside from requiring some time, all of them are doable without needing any boosting.

All in all, you can expect around 35-40 hours of gameplay for this Platinum.

NOTE: The Trophies on the PS3 have a separate list than those on the PS4.

If you've played any of the previous Assassin's Creed titles, then you'll know how this roadmap works, which is essentially in three stages.

First, simply play through the story from beginning to end. There are no missable trophies, so you can just enjoy the story and not worry about purposely unlocking anything. Eventually, you will need to get 100% synchronization in every main mission. But by the end of the game, your player-character will be fully upgraded, making this easier to do later.

Once you've finished the story and have entered the free roaming series, here you can mop-up all the other offline trophies you still need. Check out the trophy guides in our Links page for further details. This will also include, if you haven't yet done so, getting 100% synchronization.

Once that's finished, you can head into multiplayer and collect the last remaining 6 trophies. For the All Rounder trophy, a good idea would be to keep track of all the weapons and abilities you've been using, to avoid any confusion afterwards. Also, in order to reach level 55, it's possible to boost in private sessions. If you're looking for a Boosting Buddy, check out the forum we've posted under our Links tab.

Assassin’s Creed III Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Assassin’s Creed III Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  Acquiring 100% completion on the missions is arguably more difficult than previous titles in the series. Online trophies are on par with Revelations in terms of difficulty.

Assassin’s Creed III

Assassin's Creed III is a third-person action adventure with stealth elements, is the fifth installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and a direct sequel to Revelations. The story flashes between events in the 21st Century and 18th Century colonial America, and introduces a new fictional historical character.

Following the events of Revelations, Desmond Miles and his friends travel to the Grand Temple of "Those Who Came Before," an ancient race of beings who were responsible for creating humankind, but were wiped off the face of the Earth in a global calamity. A key is required to activate the temple and stop the re-occurrence of a global disaster, and to find it, Desmond must use the Animus to explore the memories of another ancestor, the half-English, half-Mohawk man named Ratonhnhake:tone, also known as Connor, who is mixed up with the Templar order after they attacked his Native American village.

Like its predecessors, Assassin's Creed III received very positive reviews, with an average score of 90% for its incredible visuals and great story, though is not perfect due to complaints of some game glitches.

If you've played any previous Assassin's Creed titles, in comparison to difficulty we could say that AC3 is not as challenging and time consuming as Brotherhood, but some of the offline trophies make this game more difficult than Revelations and of course AC2. While the game still possesses the free roaming option after completing the story, the Perfectionist trophy, which requires completing 100% of each mission can be challenging since you will need to replay the entire mission again should you fail. There are 6 online trophies to acquire as well, though are not any more difficult than those in Revelations.

If you've played the previous Assassin's Creed titles, then you know the drill. Simply load up the game and play from beginning to end, without worry of any missable trophies. Along the way, you may wish to attempt getting 100% completion on the missions, just to make your life easier when you mop-up later.

Once you've finished the story, you are free to roam and gather any missed offline trophies. Each mission is not too long, though most of them contain bonus objectives which require finishing in order to get 100% completion, and these can be tricky at times. If you miss one, you'll need to restart the mission - hence the 3-star difficulty rating for this game.

Once you've collected the offline trophies, there are still 6 online ones to earn. You won't need to redeem a pass to get on the multiplayer. For the most part, you'll be focusing on reaching Level 20 for the Abstergo Entertainment trophy, while completing certain objectives for the remaining five. Check out the trophy guide in our Links page for specific details of each trophy.

Assassin’s Creed Revelations Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Assassin’s Creed Revelations Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  The online trophies are significantly easier and less time consuming than Brotherhood.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations ** 50 Ubisoft Montreal Canada 32 16 1 10 16

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations

Revelations is the fourth game in the Assassin's Creed series, and a direct sequel to Brotherhood, completing the Ezio trilogy. It is a third-person action adventure with stealth elements, and features all three of the major characters in the story - Desmond Miles, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and Altair ibn-La"Ahad - and features a multiplayer mode.

After the events of Brotherhood, Desmond Miles has fallen into a coma due to the stress of being forced to kill Lucy Stillman. He is transported to New York and placed into the Animus by Rebecca Crane and Desmond's father. After awakening on Animus Island, Desmond meets the consciousness of Subject Sixteen, who guides him in reliving his ancestor's memories in an attempt to separate him from Ezio and thereby awaken from his coma.

Like Assassin's Creed games in the past, Revelations received very positive reviews, with an average score of 82%, and has been named by some critics as the best in the series thus far.

If you've played previous AC games, we can compare Revelations by saying that it's certainly easier to platinum than Brotherhood, though a tad more time consuming than Assassin's Creed II. Like Brotherhood, Revelations possesses some online trophies, though are much easier to obtain.

Note: An online pass is required, which comes with your game. If you purchases Assassin's Creed: Revelations used, than you must either make do with a free 3-day trial or purchase the pass.

NOTE: The Trophies on the PS3 version have a separate list than those on the PS4.

The Platinum can be obtained in three steps: playthrough, mop-up, multiplayer.

Like the previous Assassin's Creed games, there are no missable trophies. So you can enjoy playing through from beginning to end, collecting any trophies you like. Once the story is finished, you are free to roam about, where you can mop-up anything you've missed.

Afterwards, there are the multiplayer trophies. As we mentioned earlier, you will need a Uplay pass to play online. If you've purchased Revelations as a new game, than the code for multiplayer comes free. If you've bought your copy used, than you must either collect all the online trophies during the free 3-day trial (which is very possible) or pay to get online. The online trophies are easier than in Brotherhood, hence the 2-star rating. Focus on playing one match for each mode, then simply collect the other trophies as you make your way towards level 20. See the trophy guides in our Links page for specific details.

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Trophy Guide

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood

While not the official Assassin's Creed 3, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is the third installment in the series, and a direct sequel to Assassin's Creed II, continuing the story of Ezio Auditore de Firenze and Desmond Miles.

The game, like its predecessors, is an action-adventure with sandbox playstyle and stealth elements, and is the first in the series to possess a multiplayer feature.

After escaping the Templar's attack, Desmond hides out in the ruins of the Villa Auditore, along with Lucy, Rebecca and Shaun. There, he again takes control of Ezio Auditore using the Animus 2.0 and his genetic memory, in order to locate an artifact known as the Apple of Eden, believed to stop the impending disaster orchestrated by the Templars.

The game received high praise by all critics across the board, with an average score of 88%, won best Action Adventure game in the 2010 Spike TV Video Game Awards, and nominated for 7 British Academy Video Game Awards in 2011.

This platinum is as difficult as Assassin's Creed II, but with added online trophies which can take up to 40 or 50 hours - hence the extra star on our difficulty rating. However, if you find yourself a boosting partner, many of these online trophies can easily be collected, reducing our rating to a high 2-star.

NOTE: The Trophies on the PS3 have a separate list than those on the PS4.

Like Assassin's Creed II, you can - for the most part - simply play the game from beginning to end without much worry. There are, however, 2 missable trophies: Mailer Daemon (involving accessing your e-mail in 2012) and Dust To Dust (finding the artifact in 2012). Both of these trophies can be obtained after Sequence 2, but MUST be collected BEFORE Sequence 8. Once those two are out of the way, simply continue playing without any worry towards the end.

After the game is complete, you can now mop-up all remaining offline trophies. Check out the trophy guides in our Links page for further details on these, as well as locations of collectibles.

Last, are the online trophies. Without a boosting partner, these can take quite a bit of your time - especially the Download Complete, which requires you to reach level 50. Expect to be playing anywhere between 35 to 50 hours, depending on your skills. However, with a boosting partner, you can cut this down to only 8 to 15 hours. Check out the Forum in our Links page to find a boosting partner, if you don't want to do this on your own.

Assassin’s Creed II Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Assassin’s Creed II Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  Fairly average in terms of both difficulty and time required, with no online trophies to worry about.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Assassin’s Creed II ** 51 Ubisoft Montreal Canada 34 15 1 0 0

 

Assassin’s Creed II PS4

Assassin's Creed II is a third-person, action adventure game, blending science-fiction with historical drama. It continues the story of Desmond Miles in the year 2012, who is being forced by Abstergo Industries to reveal his genetic memories. The game was originally released on the PlayStation 3 in 2009, and ported onto the PlayStation 4 in November 2016 as part of The Ezio Collection.

Continuing immediately after the first game, Desmond breaks out of Abstergo Industries through the help of Lucy Stillman, a mole in the company, and taken to a safehouse where he is requested to use their own Animus to uncover the memories of another assassin, Ezio Auditore de Firenze. Similar to the first game, the story switches between Ezio and Desmond.

Unlike the first Assassin's Creed, the second builds on fighting techniques and challenges, engrossing the player further into the game - rather than feeding everything in the beginning, then simply repeating the same challenges over and over. The sequel has been hailed as a far superior to its original, and received average scores of 91% by most online gaming magazines.

Not an overtly time-consuming platinum. Many trophies are story based, a few are simple challenges, while others - such as Sweeper - require a bit more effort. Although many you may even stumble upon by accident.

The In Memory of Petruccio trophy requires you to hunt down and collect all 100 feathers around town. This can take a bit of time, but as long as you follow the guides in our Links page, you shouldn't have to spend too much time.

Overall, a very average 2-star rated Platinum.

NOTE: The trophies for the PS4 version are separate from those on the PS3.

The platinum should be obtainable in one playthrough. What's nice about this game, is that once you've completed the story (and collected a good majority of the trophies along the way) you can still continue running around, collecting things and buying upgrades and paintings.

So, start by playing through the game without much worry. The only missable trophy is Fly Swatter, in which you need to kick a guard over the edge while using the flying machine in Sequence 8. This is fairly easy to do, and if you don't get it, simply crash yourself and try again.

Once you've completed the story, simply mop up any trophies you missed.
