Popular Post Optinooby Posted January 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Hey every1, Here is the start of my 100% trophy walktrhough in under 7 hours approx. I'm also working on a written guide for this which will be submitted soon. 12 parts in total and a part will be going up daily, hoepfully written guide will be submitted within a week. Thanks guys and enjoy this great month to be a PS+ member Original Post #2 What a great month for Feb! Quick update on this as I have been working on what I initially inquired about. I will have a 100% Trophies Speedrun going up for this hopefully Tues next week. I wanted to record on PS5 version, but I also want this to start going upon Tues so probably PS4. We will get everything done, in perhaps 7 hours! On 100%, a LOT of the platinum requirements don't actually need doing as the DLC covers them!! I will be putting up commentary and no commentary versions and ALSO a text/map walkthrough on here, similar structure to my Hollow Knight text guide if anybody followed that. Just letting u guys know if u were looking for something optimised Original Post; I never played this back when, got the Ultimate on a sale while back, and just now having a little dip, PS5 upgrade is near also. As im completely fresh, this will take a while, so hoping any1 may have some useful, but specific advice to ease my time trying to optimise each of the trophies around each other.... Im currently playing through the main story, then will clean up, do DLC and then once I have a good grasp of everything, will likely run again taking notes and go from there. So any thoughts please guys on perhaps key moments to do specific things in the story, when I may naturally pass something which would save time doing it then as opposed to later, can some DLC cumulative trophies or other things be started on early if I focus on certain abilities first etc etc.......... A normal any% speedrun is pretty fast, and it has been 100% speedran in about 3 hours, with DLC and cumulative trophies will take longer, but im hoping wouldnt be too far over double hour digits if it is! Thanks guys EDIT; (learnt so far) Something maybe worth mentioning for QoL and because it will cut trophy times down a LOT for the players with the Ultimate Editions or those just wanting to 100% with the DLC, is that a LOT of the base game grinding here isn't required then as most of it naturally comes while doing the DLC trophies! From the top of my head, those planning to do the DLC areas; Don't need to do additional base game SQs other than those needed for trophies as EVERY DLC mission (main/side) counts as a SQ! Don't need to collect ANY base game collectibles as you HAVE to collect a lot in the DLCs. These coupled with the story collectibles will be enough. No need to search for base game Hidden Areas as the DLC full trophy completion will net you just enough points. No need to fully upgrade any base game weapons as the DLC requires you to upgrade the SURGE weapon to max. And for the 'Kill x' or 'Kill x with x' trophies, thess will come naturally as well, but for those that require a specific kill method, it would be a good idea to apply the DLC variants during the main game to make those less grindy later! Also, something I found quite odd is that there are NO PROPER maps for the game, with the collectibles on etc. I'm actually really surprised by this as usually for AAA ( or AA?) games like this, loads would have been available. With the lack of waypoints, collectible map icons etc, trying to clean up trophies across the 100% list, was a bit of a nightmare actually, took WAY longer than needed! So........I may try and put some maps together myself, collectible maps FINALLY so watch this space Edited February 1, 2021 by Optinooby 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardragon989 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Control's latest patch added essentially debug in the options menu. It allows infinite health, infinite ammo, one shot kills that dont affect the trophies. The only one I would say keep an eye out for would be the collectibles. There is no real deep list so keep track of what youve gotten and still to get. I know the machine one in the last dlc was a pain. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea im using the debug options currently, I may turn them off later, but currently they are helping to get to grips with the game and mechanics more easily. These assist mode options are becoming more and more common, they should disable trophies, but im not complaining yet Im trying not to get any collectibles to begin with as I wanna see what comes naturally as nowhere seems to know. After i have the number, I can then work out how many I need to grab myself. There is a lot though with the DLC isnt there, im hoping they wont be too bad to optimise, more so just writing there locations down and grabbing when im near. If im honest, im more worried about the cumulative trophies, I dont wanna be running around end game with them, or getting them all at the same time, i'd like to intertwine them all the way along so they became almost no problem, like do the story doing the 10 x kills with x, then next upgrade and change to the x weapon/ability and kill the next x enemies in the story via that way and so on Edited January 21, 2021 by Optinooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optinooby Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Just bit of an update on what ive learnt so far as this will help others because in terms off 100%, although necessary for the platinum, the TG has you doing things you dont need to or perhaps to better put as not the base TGs fault: - The Platinum has you do x and x tasks. - Whereas for 100%, you dont need to do x and x tasks as the DLC naturally fulfills them. Im not talking about the cumulative kill trophies, they of course carry across the whole game, its more the collectibles and side missions. The platinum has you complete 15 side missions for a trophy, but with the DLC, you dont really need to complete any other than those related to trophies!! EVERY DLC mission, whether that be a main or side, are actually both considered side missions in term of the base 'complete X side missions' trophy. So you dont need to grind the main game side missions, just do the important ones, and move on to DLC and the other side mission trophies will naturally follow. Similar story with collectibles, u get 'approx', 70 collectibles naturally from the main story and because you have to get 57 from one DLC, and more from the other, you dont need to grind collectibles in the main game either. Just get those related to specific trophies, then complete the DLC and the other trophies will naturally follow! Just noting this in case it saves anyone else time. Anything else I consider of use, i'll be sure to share Edited January 22, 2021 by Optinooby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Are u asking reference the gyude or just un general?? If u are asking abt the guide, we get these b4 we touch the DLC or during, basically u work on these from that start. For Board Countermeasures, u ALWAYS have 3 active, I always go for the 'Kill X type enemies X times' or 'Kill X enemies with Launch or Grip'. There the ones you dont need to go out ur way for, u just accept/abandon to spawn a new Countermeasure For Bureau Alerts, ALWAYS do these whenever they appear, and btw careful u dont die as that cancels them!

I was going to run it myself after getting the guide done, but on the PS5 version, I just dont have 6 hours to spare uninterrupted ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy_Oglop Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It's great that you put the work in to find a super optimal route to the platinum, that takes serious effort, so props to you! I wouldn't even know where to begin to figure this kind of routing out. I will echo though - that if this is the first time anyone is playing this game - i strongly recommend not to try and mainline it to the plat as quickly as humanly possible. It's such an excellent game in my opinion and well worth taking your time in your first playthrough, reading the logs, talking to all of the NPC's in depth, exploring the environments etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shxrpay Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 If the text guide is the same format as Hollow Knight, I might actually end up getting the 7 hour time! That was a very well put together guide that was easy to follow, props to you on that one. Didn't have to watch any of the videos at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaeveWileyy_ Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 This guide was amazing, I got the 100% in about 10 hours of playtime. Although I did find it a little fast-paced so I highly recommend watching at 0.75x speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
