MohameDina9192 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 5 hours ago, Guardian_owl said: There isn't a trophy guide for Raiden V on this site, but if you search there is one on another site. There are 3 types of weapons you can cycle through based on what pick-up you grab that appears: orange (spread machine gun), blue (laser), and purple (homing weapon). So there are 3 weapon types, and each weapon type has 3 choices. You pick 1 of each type to mount at the start of your run. You can experiment to see which you like more but I prefer orange (Swing Vulcan), blue (reflect laser), and purple (Catch Plasma). Swing Vulcan is pretty similar to wide vulcan ( a spreadshot) except when you fly to the left or right it angles the spreadshot in the direction you are moving so it is easier to hit enemies on the opposite side of the screen. Swing Vulcan also has a slightly tighter shot pattern so it absolutely annihilates bosses. For that reason it is a good idea to try to end each stage with Swing Vulcan. Reflect laser fires a prism out that when you shoot it with the laser splits the beam. It turns your forward only shooting laser into basically a screen-sized weedwhacker. One of the weakness of the other blue lasers is they can only fire forward, but reflect covers all directions, including behind you. This makes it much easier to shoot all the enemies while you have to use the blue laser to upgrade it. Catch Plasma has tentacles that home onto anything that gets within a certain range of your ship, and then locks on and does continuous damage to it until it is destroyed. That is very handy for some of the levels when a bunch of weak ships are quickly flying by or when they come up behind you. There is one online trophy, cheer squad, but that will come very early. There is an online leaderboard you connect to that has various tasks, every time you do the tasks you will get a cheer and your cheer gauge will rise. They are very simple things so you will get the required 50 in no time. The cheer gauge lets you trigger a special cheer attack that fires one of several special weapon attacks like a volley of homing missiles in all directions, sweeping laser swords that destroy all bullets in range, etc. There are no co-op trophies in this Raiden List. Look up on youtube the location of the Sol Towers in each stage, the guide explains it terribly. To trigger the Sol Tower you have to put the shadow of your craft over it to power it down, which causes it to rise up out of the ground, and then you can destroy it. There is only 1 per some stages and you will have to destroy 100 of them for a trophy so you want to collect them whenever you can in order to lessen the grind later. You will also need to collect 1000 of a certain kind of medal, these spawn when you destroy ground based units. Unlike the medals from the air-based ships that will fly toward your ship as soon as you stop firing for a second, the ground based medals stay fixed in place, you have to fly over collect them. So collect as many as possible as you play to lessen the grind later. The walkthrough advocates doing the first run on normal difficulty for a specific reason, I agree with this. For the next several runs in which you unlock all the routes they recommend doing it in practice mode (in which the enemies don't fire at you) I do not agree with this. That is because of two other grindy trophies: Janitor and intercept. In a late stage, you have the opportunity to shoot down debris from an asteroid field, over several playthroughs you have to destroy 1000 debris, but it only counts on easy difficulty or higher. It's the same with intercept, destroying 500 planes that drop the colored weapon power ups, you only get credit for this on easy+ difficulty. You can die and continue as many times as you want during this stage of unlocking all the routes, so you might as well do it on easy difficulty instead of practice difficulty to cut down the later grind on these two trophies. It will also be good practice for your eventual 1CC easy difficulty run as you can figure out when in each stage it's best to have which of the 3 weapons, what order to upgrade them (you have to upgrade them all pretty evenly as you go or you will be stuck upgrading a weak weapon in a late stage which can make it difficult to keep your enemy % destroy rate up to stay on the S route), when you will need to use bombs, practice dodging enemy shots, etc. You can also skip the step of getting 80 million points in practice mode for now as you will very likely also get it during your 1 CC easy difficulty run or True Ending practice mode run. There are 6 endings, the trophy guide has the text ending for each of the 6 as it can be tough to know which one you got otherwise. So have the guide up handy whenever you beat the game (you might also want to take a screen shot of the first page of dialogue each time you beat the game to keep track) so that you know which if any you are missing. The guide is not sure of the conditions for the true ending, after experimentation I believe it is: all S routes, max all 3 weapons, do it all in one sitting on 1 CC with no restart of ANY kind (no exit game and continue, no scene or chapter restarts, and no dying and continuing) which you can pretty easily do on practice mode. For the 1CC easy route, it is probably a good idea to have two back-ups. A thumb drive as a "in case of large screw up" that you back-up every couple stages, and then the PS+ save file slot (if you have it) to back-up to every time you clear a 1/3rd of the stage or so to your satisfaction (each stage is divided into 3 scenes). If you take too much damage during a scene, you don't have to exit and revert your save, just restart scene from the pause menu and your ship will be back to the condition it was at the start of the scene. What I often did was quit and do a PS+ back-up at the start of a new stage, then rely on "restart scene" for the rest of the stage, unless I performed particularly perfect, then I went ahead and stopped at the end of the scene to do a new PS+ back-up. Thank u so much for this detailed and awesome mini guide, that will help me for sure and looking for that other guide too, will start the game and if i stumble on anything will send u if u wouldn't mind thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgm4789 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Just got the ace pilot trophy in raiden V. Protip for anybody struggling with this trophy, you can raise your cheer meter by pausing the game and pressing triangle to cheer people on while paused which will fill up your cheer meter for those tougher sections. I was literally at the final boss with 13% health, no bombs and a level 3 swing vulcan(accidentally switched to this before the final boss after using a fully upgraded catch plasma for half the game and lets just say this wasn't fun) and this handy little exploit saved my ass as i wasn't properly set up for this boss.

I wouldn't say it's easy, but I just managed to do it. I don't usually play those games, but it was fun enough. A bit grindy so start it up on an alt account for an hour to see if you're interested in it(that's if you care about completion percentages).

I played that when it was on the now-defunct Xbox Live Arcade Indies program, it was great and one of the easier shmups I played that generation. In that game, instead of extra lives, you gain extra ships which you can then spread out or keep tight to change your combat strategy. You quickly get so many ships it becomes almost impossible to loose them all, the challenge lies in scoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
