Popular Post The Alchemist Posted July 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Okay guys, so I was raging about this very trophy in the trophy thoughts thread yesterday. Started back at it today with a fresh head and renewed hope. Managed to get it on my third attempt today. I'll share what worked for me on my successful run, and some other tips I've learned after well over 100+ attempts at this awful trophy. So after my successful run, I tried the section again another 5 or 6 times to see if this was a fluke, or if it was a legit foolproof method. It worked every time for me. It's almost so obvious now in retrospect that I feel incredibly stupid not to have thought of it earlier. What you need to do in the tighter sections where the zurks come down steps and start converging on you from different areas etc. is HUG THE WALL. I mean absolutely stick as close to the wall as possible. If the zurks come from the right, stick to the wall on the left and vice versa. They will jump at you but will miss you by a lot, seemingly it's impossible for them to latch onto you when you're by the wall. Just to reiterate, I tried this method another 5-6 times to see if it was an actual method that could be used, or if I just got lucky. It worked every single time for me. I really think this is the key to a successful run. It should be noted that near the final section you can go left, or right down some steps. I only ever went left at this bit so I don't know how going right would affect this method, if at all. Some other tips that may or may not have been mentioned already: 1. Don't zig-zag too much, especially in the wider open sections because you'll inevitably zig-zag into the path of a zurk. Also time your zig-zags, because they do slow you down a lot. 2. I found that my thumb would begin to slip off the left stick at about the halfway point of a run. By all means pause the game to compose yourself before continuing if need be, just make sure you do it after you've passed a group of zurks. That's all I can really think of now, but yeah make sure you try the wall method and let me know if it works for you, which hopefully it will. Good luck!

I know I’ll get it eventually on PS5 version. But no way in hell I’m going to play the PS4 version after, all because of this one frustrating trophy. Spent an hour at least on it and still no luck. There is always this one stupid trophy that stops me from playing a second version of a game lol Edited July 21, 2022 by XXIIlII 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLennox Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Did it this morning after a lot of tries. The zigzag only work when they jump at you but other than that, you can just go straight. I do not think video are really helpful since some moments are just RNG. So I guess the only advice I can give is to take this trophy as a grind one. Put some music, breathe, and just try over and over until the stars aligned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vanslayder Posted July 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2022 Mate. Your statement that you are “above average gamer” is same as “80% of car drivers think that they have above average driving skills”. No offense but this is not even a hard trophy. All you need to do is to make runs understanding route in each section. Just zig-zagging doesn’t work. You need to spend like 20-30 minutes checking every room by yourself. This is not hard, just investigating and memorizing 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those strats were the same I used in my successful runs, hugging the walls and zigzagging in tighter spaces going towards Zurks at first and then dodge.

Xx3rikdr3wxX Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I do not have a video because after two hours of trying I finally got it. The only consistency I found is at the beginning just stay to the wall opposite the bugs each way. The first staircase out of the laundry room is tricky but what I did is after you see the first bug jump cut left then right. For the next staircase in the red area stay far left and then go right and the far left again to avoid the red crate bugs. The next room hug the far wall on the right then straight through the bug nest cutting left, right, left when the bugs jump. At the big sign turn left but not too tight or they instant grab you, cut left and right as needed. The last section you need to stay left on the wall and only go out a bit to the right and do one or two cuts to clear it straight for the staircase. Best of luck, loving the game but terrible trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloemoester Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Yes this trophy is hell, a lot of rng involved.patience too. Took me ages to get this. I also found that turning the sensitivity up on full in the options helped but still a struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, got it on my 7th attempt or something like that. The zig zag method helps a lot but you also have to run straight in some places. There is definitely RNG involved and in one attempt I got jumped by a Zurk on the first corner. Wtf haha. Got the plat few minutes ago and there is also a lot of space for error in the under 2 hours trophy so this great for people who don't like speedrun trophies.

Popular Post DrBloodmoney Posted July 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2022 I haven't started the game yet, so don't have context on this specific trophy - and I'm never one to make light or fun of folks finding something difficult (Lord knows, I'm usually the one struggling!)... ...but come on, guys. The game's been out for 1 day! Even if you had been bashing your head against this one trophy literally since the moment the game downloaded, that would still only be about 24 hours. I get that some stuff can feel frustrating in the moment, but are we really at a point where a mere few hours of trying to get a trophy is enough to be considered "Hell" or "impossible" or having "taken ages"? 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my thoughts. It's maybe annoying, yes, it's a little bit rng involved, yes but people are exaggerating imo. I heard a lot of complains in many games, like the classic race in Mafia 1 etc and in the end it wasn't that hard. At first people cried about the speedrun trophy before the game got released and now this one. Maybe some people should take breaks and try again in the next day instead of opening threads with "impossible" or "totally annoying" trophies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealior Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 on ps5 version took me 6 attempts, ps4 version only 2. Not hard at all, as other said zig zag run as much you can and hug walls opposite from they are coming so you can still have some seconds while they jump to move out of the way. Good luck everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Isoniemi Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Took me 2 tries Maybe being semi-good in racing games helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-D-I-L_99 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) If they spawn on the right then your starting position should be the left. First you run away and then you run towards them as they jump and they will always miss you. So it's left right left right. You're almost doing a scooping motion to miss their jumps. You shouldn't be on the same side as they spawn because they will then jump in that direction and you will dodge into them. Very annoying but once it clicks it's simple.

Katt Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I did this while waiting for the sleep pills to kick in. I can't remember much since it's one of the side effects hahahah It's not that hard. Chill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScintillaWolf Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Hate to be that guy but I got it on my second attempt ? After I failed the first time almost immediately, I remembered there was a trophy for the first Zurk chase. So I checked the tips section on the trophy list and watched the hints video on how to do it. Followed his zig zag method and got the trophy with absolutely no hassle. But having read through this thread, I am wondering if I got super lucky ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Charizarzar Posted July 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I didn't have much trouble with it thankfully (granted, it was on PS4, not sure whether that would make any difference). I didn't think too hard or zig zag much other than when turning corners since I didn't know where they'd be coming from, I just exaggerated my movements when I saw them coming from a certain direction. Here's my run of it: Edited July 20, 2022 by Charizarzar 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarfetchDoomer Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 What a headache of a trophy. The worst part is the narrow blue alley just before climbing the stairs with the neon sign pointing left, there always seems to be one that would jump a B line straight to me. Once you get past that part then the Zurks are a little bit more predictable, but yes, maddening trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash41 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) The problem is that on one run when something works you do the exact same thing on the next run and they catch you. You can't 'get gud' because it is random every time they jump Edited July 20, 2022 by Smash41 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonkie18 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I can imagine the frustration with it being random. I’m personally awful at most games, I’m stuck on countless Ratalaika games for example ? I can try the same thing over and over 1000 times over a period of a year and still not get it, so maybe I’m just used to everything taking me 100 times longer than everyone else - and that’s with games that aren’t randomised. So I’m just struggling to understand how people can be so raged with a game that’s only been out a day ? Needy baby greedy baby indeed ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash41 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I got this after an hour on my 2nd attempt after:- Changing the sprint button to X Plugging some headphones in so my controller didn't make any stupid noises. I think the 2nd thing was what made me relax and get this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xl-Kyo-lx Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) This trophy took me 6 tries, and i dont say this to brag or whatever but seriously, its like they smacked a difficult trophy right at your face when you begin the game basically in the city, im sorry but this trophy is literally rng based and annoying.
