3 Hour Platinum guide

Optinooby · May 21, 2023

Hey all,

Full Walkthrough here on how to pop all trophies in 3 hours!! The game itself is maybe a 4 or 5/10 following this guide as we get overpowered quite early and simplify the game somewhat at that point. The hardest trophy is probably the one for beating the Tutorial boss as there is no way to really cheese it other than taking your time, keeping your distance and only attacking after certain attacks as you will see me doing.

The 3 hours is just a guideline for more of a 'Minimum time to Platinum', it will likely take a new player double that following this route and multiply that even more if playing blind.

Nothing is MISSABLE except for the trophy for beating the tutorial boss, but is 5 minutes into the game so not a big problem. All Trophy Guides say that the Tutorial collectibles are missable, but THEY ARE NOT!! Any tutorial collectibles missed can be found in Hermes Fortress sub quest 1!

Any questions please ask and hope this helps

KEY

Trophies - Blue.

Optional - Green (I don't touch these in my routing, just extra info).

PC or CC - Predator's Claw or Charged Claw (same thing).

CoM - Collection of Memories (Lv1 = 100, Lv2 = 500).

#55 - These refer to Story collectibles and there are 94 of these. The number reflects its position on the in-game list making them easy to identify.

#12/22 - These refer to Lore collectibles. there are 22 of these. Again, the number reflects its position on the in-game list making them easy to identify.

i appreciate the thought mate, but i dont have time to edit every1 of these into a full site gameplay guide.

I make one of these for almost every game i cover now, for my reference when planning and for you to use afterwards, and I like to move onto the next game.

The next full gameplay guide i will be doing is the witcher 3, that deserves one

Could you please list all such guides in About section in your profile so we can search it quickly?

My point is to have some place to see all your quick platinum guides available. Because now I go into game i am interested and see if there is such guide avaiable on forum section.

I would love to have other way around -as well have a list of your guides and see which games I am interested in from this list :-D

I'll try to make a thread with everything i've ever done linked and then link the thread in the 'About Me' box.

Though won't be today, when I get time as I have done a lot of guides over the years, even on other sites that i need to remember.

@vanslayder.

I made this a few years back with some of my older guides, I'll try to update it.

My old TW3 guide is obsolete now btw with my new one upcoming

Hey going to throw in my video here for You Shall Not Pass.

I've tried a bunch of different ways of doing it including running and that way just didn't work out for me at all just as I know parrying didn't work out for alot of people so my video is just an alternative and also the correct way to go about the parrys, so I have 2 parts in my video one where I failed and one where I succeeded if you watch them both and compare you'll be able to see for yourself what I did differently and why that worked and the other way didn't.

Also good to see you again @Optinooby

I saw your video in Mortal Shell it's going to be very helpful for the No Shell Trophy.

I am a dumbass....you of course have to take the potion before picking up ?

theomgkitteh · June 29, 2023

Thank you for the guide, I'll use it in my tryings. I watched your Alan Wake walkthrough and it helped me a bunch. Plus, your commentary made that game not as boring and annoying as it could have been.

MsVelvet · June 30, 2023

I'm an average gamer n a complete souls noob. But I want to test my myself a bit n try this game out. What can I expect in terms of difficulty with this 1? As a noob will It be about a 5/6 out of 10 or higher??

Optinooby · June 30, 2023

Around a 5 mate, its quite easy with the build and strategies i use, the worse trophy now is for killing the intro boss

I dont understand how people are calling this a 4 or 5 out of 10. The parry timing windows are so small and if you miss once youve lost 3/4 of your health. These "souls" games based around parry are such a frustrating experience.

There are 2 skills under the Deflect tree : Reckless Deflect (increases the parry window) and Defense stance (blocking instead of parry, you take chip damage).

You can use those to improve your parry/deflect experience

TheDarkKratos · August 20, 2023

I had no real intention of playing this game. But now I do. And it's all because of Optinooby. Many thanks, dude.

What makes this game different, is with the right skills, you dont really have to learn timings, yiu can just spam the parry button and be successful 80% of the time. And for the health you lose in that 20%, you have gained back via certain weapons or skills used in that 80% that recover health!!

'Actually' learning the timing may be a different matter, but point is, you dont have to with the right build!!!

GT__Jedi · August 20, 2023

Enjoy all of your guides. This one needs to be stickered to the top of the thread.

Thanks for another good one!
