Challenge mode - Gold Standard

[Lucibur]

What would be the best 5 challenges to focus on? They're the only trophies that are preventing me from having the platinum and it's frustrating me. :T Seeing as I did the SpomgeBob DLC and now I'm stuck at 91% which is bothering me more than it should. Here's hoping I can actually platinum the game, I've enjoyed it a lot as well.

I've tabbed them to check out sometime soon, thank you. I'll have to see how I get on in the future!

Finally got it tonight in one go. I had struggled and even tried the high sensitivity time challenges but best I got was 4 mins for the 3 min van. I did all 5 water challenges. Best I can suggest is green nozzle using short spray paint like strokes of water and then go back with the yellow or red with sniper like precision shots. You might find the vintage car or motorbike needing the green but a quick trial run will show you what works. On the vintage car, I did most in green then yellow for a few more spots before using the soap nozzle for pinpoint shots and finished off the trunk with the yellow. Here's my times, in order of completion, to give you an idea:

Dirt Bike 3.76L (Gold is 4.00 L)

Golf Cart 4.22L (Gold is 4.25 L)

Van 11.86 L (Gold is 15.00 L)

Motorbike and Sidecar 12.22L (Gold is 15.00 L)

Vintage Car 11.82L (Gold is 15.50 L)

 

You see you get the hang of it by the end of the golf cart and have an idea on how to proceed. 

 

TIP FOR THOSE GOING FOR TIME. Hitting the touch pad to select nozzles or pausing to check for sections pauses time

I went into the challenge knowing that I always use way more water than necessary, so I did time challenges for all 5 (x2 for the trophy stacks). Did the dirt bike (this took quite a few tries but at least it was short), golf cart, van, back garden, and fire truck.

For anyone struggling with this trophy I think it's all about knowing if you are a more precise powerwasher (quantity) or fast chaotic powerwasher (time).  I HIGHLY recommend watching youtube videos on the challenge you choose several times to be sure you know precisely how to approach it (which nozzles to use, soaps, order, etc.), and abuse that touchpad and options pause to give yourself a breather. Those are what made a huge difference for me.

Thank you so much for the suggestion, I was struggling to get the gold medal by following the trophy guide.

I got them within an hour after doing those water challenges on van, dirt bike, golf cart, and fire truck. Did the last medal with water challenge for dirt bike.

Really interesting seeing how there's seemingly no one challenge anyone's exceptionally good at lol. I personally hate the water limit ones because those hard to reach spots can be absolute killers. Got all my golds from time trials.

I agree. Different people are good at different ones. As you can see from my post from back when I was playing the challenges, I ended up having to do a combination of time and water challenges. I still haven't seen anyone list the vintage car as one of their completed gold challenges. 

 

 

I expect this thread to be visited quite a bit once this becomes available for PS Plus next week.
