The Ultra Rare Cleanup 2022

[AdrenalStone21]

So the only thing I’m confused on is trophies show two percents for me… an example would be the kingdom hearts platinum shows 10.65% but then it’ll switch to 2.1%. Which number is the accurate number? 

[Prometheous101]

Signing up with my first few games. 

Will add more either after I complete these or when I figure out my plan for next year. 

EAGLE FLIGHT

The default percentage is PSNP site percentage. If you click on the trophy, the percentage change + a triangle appears near it. That is the global PSN completion percentage. 

 

For this event only the PSNP percentage is considered (I assume 10.65% in the case of Kingdom hearts) 

[Briste]

I'd like to sign up for this year. I'll take a look at my options and post it later. Thanks for hosting!

[Dzware]

Well, time to post an initial Tier 1 list I guess. 10 games is quite a lot to plan ahead, so I mostly just picked some unfinished games to fill up the slots. I'm sure I'll start new games in between, so I'll just swap those in when the time comes.

 

Tier 1

FIFA 11 (0.54%, PS3) - 74% (max obtainable 83%)

Resogun (0.36%, PS4) - 57%

Space Overlords (2.03%, PS4) - 54%

Frozen Synapse Prime (2.35%, PS3) - 54%

Hustle Kings (0.03%, PS4) - 27%

VVVVVV (0.24%, Vita) - 23%

Grand Theft Auto IV (0.48%, PS3) - 82%

Mafia 2 (1.12%) - 76%

Amplitude (1.35%, PS4) - 72%

N++ (4.04%, PS4) - 0%

 

[Evil_Joker88]

I've decided too make a few changes for my Tier 1 mostly cuz i've got only 1 month left for PS NOW and wanna finish some games before my sub ends.

Good luck to everyone!  I've been doing some base prep work on my first title, Darkest Dungeon!.  Just trying to prep for the event starting Saturday.  I did want to post my list with my current percentages.  I won't be getting any UR's on Darkest Dungeon before Saturday, but I am getting into the groove of how to play the game effectively.  Suffice it to stay I'm starting out kind of bad lol.

 

Star Ocean The Last Hope International	1%
Tales of Zestiria	8%
Dark Cloud 2	1%
Wolfenstein 2	32%
Yakuza 0	1%

Great that you want to host this event again. Have been following along the 2021 edition and wanted to join, however I took notice of the event a bit too late after already having done quite some Ultra Rares this year xD. So here would be my list:

 

Tier 1

 

1. A Pixel Story (1,35%) --- Progress: 90%

2. Slime-san EU (3,12%) --- Progress: 1%

3. Slime-san NA (2,73%) --- Progress: 0%

4. Super Time Force Ultra (2,38%) --- Progress: 4%

5. Neon Chrome (2,04) --- Progress: 0%

6. Limbo (2,16%) --- Progress: 4%

7. RIVE (2,89%) --- Progress: 0%

8. Yakuza 0 (4,21%) --- Progress: 91%

9. Yakuza Kiwami (3,10) --- Progress: 88%

10. Action Henk (0,48%) --- Progress: 14%

 

Given the rules established by the hosts of the event the list is subject to change if there's a priority shift in regards to what is going to be attempted next as there is no limit of swaps.

 

Good luck to everyone :-).

 

[det_gittes]

First off, many thanks to organizers (for coming up with the idea of the event and all the time and effort you've put into it) and everyone involved (for making it such a great thread to follow). As I've genuinely enjoyed reading the updates on everyone's progress ever since this thread began, I guess the next step is to join the event  However, I have a technical question to @Copanele - I've been playing as @B_v_Archimboldi for several months now, though for the forum I'd much rather stick to this profile, which is my previous PSN profile. Is it OK if I sign up with my current account but post here under my old nickname?

 

As for the Tier 1 list, I will post it as soon as it's ready, though quite conveniently Trials Rising and Trials Fusion mostly require me to go on a squirrel hunt (which I will now have motivation to do), so no reason why they shouldn't make the list

From my side there shouldn't be a problem, I will sign up the @B_v_Archimboldi profile in the event.

When you post however, please also mention the actual ID every time, because else I will 100% guarantee forget that this is your current profile  

 

Mention, this is the only exception of the event  so please everyone, don't start creating alt accounts and sign them up, I won't keep track of them.

[AdrenalStone21]

I’ll be signing up too! Also for anyone curious, out of the 13 games on the most wanted list, only 3 of them don’t have physical releases (those being  Action Henk, I Hate Running Backwards, Pier Solar and The Great Architects) for people like me who like to get physical releases for my games. 
 

As for my list, we will start out with these:

1. Color Zen (PS4)

2. Destruction AllStars (PS5)

3. LittleBigPlanet 3 (PS4)

4. LEGO Worlds (PS4)

5. Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight (PS4)

6. Super Meat Boy (PS4)

7. Curved Space (PS5)

8. Super Animal Royals (PS5)

9. Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove (PS4)

10. Trials Fusion (PS4)

 

We’ll see what the year and my spending brings. If I can afford to buy some more physical copies of the other wanted game’s, I’ll switch some out here. I’m very surprised and a little worried about how many free-to-play games have ultra rare trophies…

[MrHealthy]

Okay I am doing one more pre-event swap. It's hard to settle on 10, and I think I just have too many unearned UR trophies.

 

IN: Laser League, Jet Set Radio

OUT: Aqua Kitty Milk Mine Defender DX, PSVR Worlds

 

And with the event start rapidly approaching I thought I would give a more detailed overview of where I am at with each game on my list.

 

Action Henk - Progress: 0% / 9 Unearned UR

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/4384-action-henk

I have experience with the game on PC, but that was when it was not finished in early access. So I am confident I can finish this eventually. But I do not have confidence I can do it in the 3 months needed for the bonus points. I will give it a solid try, but I expect to be swapping this out when it is inevitably the last game in my tier 1.

 

Driveclub VR - Progress: 63% / 4 Unearned UR

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/5439-driveclub-vr/MrHealthy

I just have to get all stars in the tour, grind out to driver level 60 and do some miscellaneous tasks like the Hennessey Venom GT time trial. The VR gives me great spacial awareness so I shouldn't have much trouble finishing this. It's just the grind to 60 that will give me some grief.

 

Fall Guys - Progress: 95% / 1 Unearned UR

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/11209-fall-guys-ultimate-knockout/MrHealthy

This is a bit of a freebie for me. I just need to finish squad goals, and get a few more wins for the 20 wins trophy. Mostly just have this on here as motivation to finally go back to it after burning out hard during season 1 / 2.

 

Iconoclasts (Vita NA) - Progress: 70% / 1 Unearned UR

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/7104-iconoclasts/MrHealthy

So I originally played the physical vita version. As it turns out the people who ported the game to vita never bothered to release the NG+ patch to the physical version and that put me off doing the final trophy back when I played it. So I ended up downloading the PS+ copy I have and spent a couple days this month speed running through relaxed mode to re-familiarise myself with the game and get the tweaks that make it easier. And with the momentum of having done that I did start the Challenge mode to get the final trophy 'One Hit Wonder'. Currently have 16 of the games 23 bosses defeated.

If you are unfamiliar with 'One Hit Wonder' it requires you to clear the game where you die in one hit. This can be made easier with Iron Heart tweaks which give you an extra hit, and the double jump tweak, or the dodge roll tweak. I have favored the double jump. It has honestly so far been a lot easier then I expected. If you play slow and watch the bosses you can learn how to dodge all their attacks without much trouble. So far I have only needed to replay bosses 3-4 times at most. Should be able to pop this within the first couple days of the event.

 

Jet Set Radio (Vita) - Progress: 0% / 3 Unearned UR

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/1686-jet-set-radio

I think the vita version is considered harder to do since the game requires some pretty precise joystick movement, but hopefully its not to bad with some practice. Honestly don't know much about what I am getting into with this one though.

 

Laser League - Progress: 0% / 12 Unearned UR

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/7602-laser-league

Decided I want to try and knock this out before the server shutdown. Seems pretty straight forward to grind out.

 

LittleBigPlanet Vita - Progress: 84% / 3 Unearned UR

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/1612-littlebigplanet-vita/MrHealthy

I have the bulk of this done. I basically just need to finish acing all the levels (including the DC levels) and spend 24 hours in create mode. A little practice and a little grind, shouldn't be a problem.

 

Urban Trial Freestyle (PS3) - Progress: 71% / 1 Unearned UR

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/1843-urban-trial-freestyle/MrHealthy

I just need to 5 star ever level for the final trophy. I originally gave up on this because some of the 5 star requirements seem borderline impossible. Luckily there is an exploit where if you pause the game a couple frames before you hit a checkpoint and hit restart track, it will actually restart you at the checkpoint you were about to hit. This makes the time trial levels super easy, just having to do it a couple times if you pause too early or too late. This trick works on the stunt levels as well, but this just gives you a higher time bonus for your score. The stunt levels still require tons of practice and skill to 5 star with this trick.

I have cleared about 12 levels of it earlier this month, but still have quite a few to do. Will take some time to complete.

 

Vanquish (PS3) - Progress: 65% / 2 Unearned UR

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/503-vanquish/MrHealthy

On the non-UR front I have to find all the collectibles and do a bunch of miscellaneous tasks in the campaign. I already finished the game on hard. And then I have to do the infamous tactical challenge 6 to mop up. I litterally have not played this game since 2012 though, so I think my plan of attack will be to complete the game on normal again collecting all the collectibles and doing as much of the other tasks as I can before I jump back into challenge 6.

I feel like my action skills have improved over the years so I am confident that I can get it done within the 3 months for the bonus points.

 

Zeno Clash 2 - Progress: 0% / 1 Unearned UR

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/2048-zeno-clash-2

This seems very straight forward. The only UR is for maxing out your stats, which is tied to collectibles. So I should just be able to follow a guide to get that done. Will need to bust out my second PS3 for the one online co-op trophy. Going to do a quick run through the first Zeno Clash on my PC before I start this though. Should not take long, the first game is only 3-5 hours of gameplay.

 

Total ultra rares before event: 356

Is Zeno Clash 2 still available to purchase? I played the first one, it was very fun and unique. Not sure what the devs were on when they designed that game

Ok, might grab it myself , thanks for letting me know!

[det_gittes]

OK, I'm back with my Tier 1 list for @B_v_Archimboldi, it's tentative for now and with free swaps I am more than likely to make some changes to it along the way, but I own all these games already and I think I will enjoy playing all of them. Whether I will enjoy them enough to complete them is another story, but I also have quite a large collection of alternative UR titles, so we'll see. I would also love to get into Red Dead Redemption 2, X-Com 2, Kingdom Come Deliverance or The Long Dark at some point, but I'm really afraid of the time committment, so we'll see how it goes.

 

As for the first two Trials games, they are basically completed, the only things left are collectibles, and I've decided to replay them on my new account as they are special to me, especially Trials Fusion, which I still play on PC as the input lags on the console make it difficult to play harder tracks. For the platinum / 100% both games are perfectly playable on PS4/PS5, though. Also, the PS5 controller is great for these games (and it shines even more on PC). As Trials Fusion is on the Most Wanted list and more people may be going for it, let me know if you want to race against my ghost - believe me, they (=ghost riders) are really useful (and motivational).

 

Action Henk I got after I saw @Arcesius and @Baker talk about it (I think I may like it), Overland was a completely random purchase but it looks intriguing, Furi needs no presentation (and may be interesting to play after Returnal), Griftlands was recommended to me and @Briste by @Rally-Vincent--- (who happens to be one of only three players to complete it, which is a bit concerning, but the game also has few owners), Death Road to Canada just looks cool and I don't remember if anyone that I know talked about it specifically. As for Void Bastards, again (like Overland) a fairly impulsive buy, mostly because I found its comic book aesthetic very appealing - then I read @DrBloodmoney's review of it and I learnt that it has quite a few rough edges, but I still hope I will enjoy it. Steep is a winter sports game that I've already played some and it's a ton of fun, though it does require some crazy passes for the platinum, and since I also got Riders Republic (another very fun game, though not an UR), I don't know when I will get back to it (but I will, definitely). Finally, Invisible Inc., a game I've had forever (or at least ever since it was on PS+) and I've always wanted to play it, but never got round to it - maybe the coming year will be a good time for it (seeing this game ranked 2 on @DrBloodmoney's scientific ranking is definitely massive encouragement, but actually the game first caught my interest when @Cassylvania played it a few years back). 

1. Trials Fusion (0.10%) -- Progress 77%

2. Trials Rising (3.78%, 100% 1.75%) -- Progress 93%

3. Action Henk (0.48%) -- Progress 0%

4. Overland (3.72%) -- Progress 0%

5. Furi (1.65%) -- Progress 0%

6. Griftlands (0.87%) -- Progress 0%

7. Death Road to Canada (1.51%) -- Progress 0%

8. Void Bastards (3.21%) -- Progress 0%

9. Steep (2.47%, 100% 0.42%) -- Progress 31%

10. Invisible Inc. (0.43%) -- Progress 0%

 

Also, happy New Year to everyone! ?

It took me longer to Plat Death Road to Canada than to finish Griftlands. I wouldn't worry about Griftlands too much, the only nuisance for me was the speedrun trophy. You'll be fine.

Finally came up with my Tier 1 list:

 

1 - Killing Floor 2 (2.90%) - 97%

2 - Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (3.49%) - 0%

3 - Laser Disco Defenders (1.66%) - 0%

4 - Iconoclasts (1.52%) - 0%

5 - Jump Force (2.87%) - 15%

6 - Yakuza 0 (4.21%) - 11%

7 - Titan Souls (1.89%) - 0%

8 - Batman Arkham City (PS4) (3.38%) - 0%

9 - Absolver (0.68%) - 0%

10 - Thumper (3.11%) - 0%

 

There's some games here that are just placeholders since we now have infinite swaps.

Well gentlemen, since we more or less dived into 2022 (at least I did )  all I can wish you other than Happy New Year is:

 

Good luck, happy hunting, let the UR cleanup 2022 edition begin!?

[Walt the Dog]

Will probably start off by cleaning up Secret Ponchos (NA), but I'll wait until it's at least actually 2022 where I'm at. Still a little under three hours to go.

[PlutoRico]

Well, looks like I'm launching the festivities for this year's event ?

 

Just popped the platinum for Laser League, a game we might see a lot in the upcoming weeks since the shutdown has been announced for February.

 

By the way I changed my Tier 1 list a little bit after taking into account the 1st quarter Most Wanted List : 

 

 

I might be bitting off more than I can chew but I'll do my best to finish at least 2 or 3 games out of the 5 I included from the Most Wanted List. 

 

Good luck, I'm excited to read everyone's progress ?

 

Happy New Year ?

Grats on the first official plat!! We can suffer together on Trials Fusion... Had a few days to get started on that so far, and it is absolutely hard as nails for the full ? ? 

 

Extremely fun and satisfying when you start getting the hang of it and start tearing thru shit ? Nothing a shitload of practice and patience can't overcome tho ?

 

Mad props to you @Arcesius for already having knocked this one outta the park! You're the only friend on my list whose scores keep consistently showing up with 0 faults on some of those ridiculous tracks... Bravo to you my dude ???

 

Cheers to you and everyone else here, Happy New Year & best of luck crushing these incredibly hard games!! Keep those UR trophies popping ? ?

Let's do it my friend, would be nice to follow each other's progress as we both try to slay this beast ? 

 

I might want to knock some online components out in a few games first right quick and then I'll join you. Let's get this done by March 31st ?

Edited January 1, 2022 by PlutoRico

[TehUberCheezCatz]

so I missed when the most wanted list came out huh? whoops, oh well.
I abjectly refuse to do any of those fixed games, two rhythm & a fat mmo, with a shitton of dlc on top for 2/3? hell nah

The quarterly on the other hand is more interesting, since I actually own 4 of them, being Skullgirls, Lords of the Fallen, Trials Fusion, and Vanquish.
Now, Skullgirls ain't happening cause A: I probably wont ever git gud enough to do it, and B: refuse to pay the normally $47 for that first season pass, so that's a big no.
Trials I'm very close on, but seeing as how of the like, 8 challenges left to go, I still have two of the hardest ones (top roach & pipephobia), I don't know when (not if) the fuck I'll ever get lucky enough to do those, so as much as I'd like to get it done, I'm probably not switching that on.
Vanquish is something I had forgotten about, since I think I only ever played to the end of act 1, but I would like to actually go back to it, so that's probably a yes from me, if not just to have a Platinum game done finally.
and lastly Lords of the Fallen, which I do actually own the dlc for and completely forgot that I even bought; I don't really want to go back & play, but I should, so I suppose that'll go on too

As for the rest of the quarter, meh, I don't really give enough of a shit about any of these to want to play or buy them, so big pass from me.

I guess I'll switch HotD3 & watch dogs for vanquish & lords of the fallen then.

1: Call of Duty Black Ops 4 (0.68 P%/0.34 T%) 92% done
2: Trackmania Turbo (0.60%) 76% done
3: Just Cause 2 (5.00%) 5% done
4: Vanquish (2.30%) 12% done
5: Yakuza Dead Souls (4.99%) 0% done
6: Mirror's Edge (2.85 P%/ 0.64 T%) 0% done
7: Dangerous Golf (1.37%) 80% done
8: Lords of the Fallen (4.18P%/ 1.10T%) 8% done
9: Call of Juarez Bound in Blood (3.34%) 75% done
10: Far Cry 2 (0.62%) 67% done

also should I update my progress as it happens or does that not really matter unless its a game being done?
