snakebit10 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Damn! This was a tough one to get! I'm glad I got it outta the way. I just wanna say "Thanks!" @StrickenBiged and @candicajean for their tips, which proved most helpful. BTW, is there any particular reason why most recent trophy lists don't have tips associated? Is it just that nobody cares to add them anymore? 'Cause I used to like to read 'em. They removed the feature for tips because of having Trophy Guides now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kishnabe Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Use Directional pad...the Analog pad screwed me over a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AARCT1C Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Definitely easier once you have the staff. Once you are at the top point if you've missed the scroll, jump left past the electric bar on the right, then float right, you should see a destructible wall there. Land, destroy, freefall to the bottom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMDE Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 This is bullshit! I finally just got to the top of that motherfucking tower with electricity crap all over it. Then realised that u have to do that actually faster than the scroll! arggghhhh!!!! So much raged already! I didn't thought about this being so challenging because of the rarity of platinum! It really isn't all that much of a challenge either. I did the platinum in less than 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartBros Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) This is the trophy that I'm trying to get now, and it really is driving me crazy. I haven't even been able to get past the 4th or 5th electricity hazard yet, due to the ultra-sensitive controls sending me flying in all directions with even the slightest nudge of the analog stick. Tried using the D-pad a few times, but that really isn't helping me either. I see people on YT videos flying in perfectly straight lines and can't understand how they're doing it - I'm being thrown about all over the place; usually into an electricity beam, or outside of the blue beam that you have to ride to the top, which results in me falling and having to restart. I was enjoying the game up until this point! Any tips that might help me out? EDIT: I can vouch for the D-Pad method making it easier to ascend the shaft. It still took me several dozen attempts, but it's definitely easier to control yourself. Just make sure you get that initial speed boost when jumping off the switch. I'll never be doing it again though! Edited October 3, 2015 by StewartBros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipot_04 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Good thing that this isn't missable. I'm taking a timeout from this and I plan to get the last equipment before trying this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbk_GIANTS_fan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Well, it took me a lot of tries to reach the top, only to realize that I forgot to activate the switch and the scroll never went up!!!Damn!!! I was afraid that could never get back to here (or have to start a new game) so, I went down to the starting point to kill myself and have a saving point to start over...Already have it, and yes, using the D-Pad makes it easier, a good start is a must and after you get this thropy, it will be a looooot easier!!!

closertim Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I remember this causing me all sorts of trouble. Hardest part was getting back down after screwing it up. Sure wasn't a 2 hour plat for me. Edited June 8, 2016 by closertim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Joker88 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I remember this tropyh well... took me several tries to even see that i have to be faster than the trophy itself... didn't count either but needed 20 tries at least And personally i think this is the hardest trophy in the game.... although a great game is death mode that hard? i really wanted to get this plat, but if it is that frustrating i don't even want to try it. I think Death Mode isn't that hard but luck based... the notes can spawn 10 times in many places same times far away and same times really close... i quited some levels 10 seconds after starting wheny everything seemed bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aric201812 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 As already said: fast start and use of D-pad is key [esp on vita].. also the first part is much harder than the second. For the second part just stick to the middle and make minor adjustments to avoid the spinning wheel things. Also, I found that a lot of the movement needed in the lower section is literally dash left & right so long as you enter the area in the correct position. My other tip is that after making the initial fast start there is a gap between the two sets of electricity and you can take a little break on a ledge to the right [i think where the short cut exit is]. And then take a new jump. This helps if you find you end up with too much momentum nearer the top and you will still beat the scroll. It also helps you reset to make sure you are perfectly on the right side and can execute the next two left dashes. After initially going though the area super slow [and being really pleased with myself only to discover the scroll didn't stop at the top!] I thought it was going to be a nightmare to come back to but these approaches helped for me. I would also recommend coming back after getting the wand as the shortcut with make repeated attempts much less frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonicPrime Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I got stuck on this part for, ohhh, a solid hour at least. Which makes me laugh since the guide I was following saying this could be plat'd in 2 hours. ...lmao nopppe, not for me anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatDrunkGuy Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I struggled with this a bit last night, and turned it off before grinding it out...and read this thread before bed. I want to thank the person that mentioned using a rubber band to look up the whole time, and those that said to use the dpad to move left and right. Those tips helped me get it on my first couple tries today. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBilbanes Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Getting this trophy was a huge pain in the ass for me. It was really difficult. On the other hand, when I did earn the trophy, the sense of satisfaction I felt was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick777123 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 You know what's fun? -- Difficult trophies that require skill. You know what's NOT fun? -- Difficult trophies because of finicky, hyperactive controls when precise movement is required. Anyway, rant over, just wanted to add that instead of a rubber band (as some suggested above) I changed Blue Cloak to R2 instead of L2 in the options. I believe this coupled with using the D-pad for movement and skipping this and coming back to it last, helped me get this in probably less than an hour. Try it if you like the rubber band idea, but are too lazy for it like me. Thanks to everyone who previously suggested hints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janire1911 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Just got this after surprisingly few attempts, after watching a video guide on this I thought I'd never get this trophy but in the end it didn't take that long. What I did was use string to tie the left stick up and then use d-pad for movement. It's also a good idea to not get too much speed in the beginning or it's going to be harder to avoid the electricity. That being said, this is one the most frustrating and annoying games I've played. For a game that requires precise movement the controls are far too imprecise and floaty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyz94 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Blue cape on R2 and D-Pad worked for me. Also, it's pretty obvious but, keep an eye on the prize. If the scroll goes past you, there is no point in going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
