Popular Post Bizzy_Montana_ Posted October 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Hey there everyone I have just earned 100% of the trophies in "The Surfer". First off, I honestly want to the thank the amazing people at Bungarra Software for quickly responding to my mails. They helped me out big time as I was troubled with meeting the unlocking requirements for “Super Champ“. If you have a few units of your currency to spare, feel free to check out “The Sufer“ as the game is really enjoyable. Don’t expect over-the-top graphics, but the gameplay is easily worth investing a couple of hours. Furthermore, it was a pleasure to play a relatively new game on PS3. To be honest, I had quite a hard time figuring out how to unlock the trophies, but it’s totally doable after you understand the system of the game. Here are some tips for you (from my point of view, the game doesn't need an in-depth trophy guide): - Go for parts of the waves on which you can just "grind" by pressing square. Ideally, try to go for the outer part of the wave, then grind all the way to the outside. The game will reset you to a more centered part of the wave but you will keep your combo. Rinse and repeat to build a massive combo (500-600k are possible without much of a hassle). Pay attention on avoiding tubes as you will most likely fall into the water, thus rendering your combo as failed. This isn't possible on every level as some waves in some levels are set up the way that they have a tube on each end. You will then have to stay in the middle of the wave going left and right. You’ll figure it out easily. Watch out for enemy surfers as they tend to crash into you as well. I did NEVER utilize a move other than pressing square, I didn't even jump once. You will be penalized by 25% for repeating the same move, but you'll still obtain winning scores easily. Speed up with R1 when riding up/along the wave and try to grind when the speed meter (bottom right) is at least purple or red. The faster you are, the more points you get. Sometimes you receive power ups which let you surf with the highest speed (or at least for the highest points) for a short amount of time. You know that you’ve got this upgrade when the upper part of your speed meter is blinking red. - Use the "select" option to be set back into the wave-action if you should move too far away from it. 1500 points isn't much of a penalty at all. - Don't press square for too long as you can fall off the wave. - Try not to break your boards (bottom right board image) as you only have three boards. After you lose the third, the game over screen will pop up. In order to avoid a loss of boards, make sure to buy „full repair“ kits from the shop for each character. You can utilize these repair kits even during a surfing session by pressing start and choosing the corresponding menu point. - You can save after every race. You can load your progress by going into "Options" then load the savegame, choose "Qualifying Tour" again with your active character and go to the desired location. You will continue where you left off. Play the game in this order: 1.) Play "Qualifying Tour" with Shane all the way through to Fernando's finale, placed 1st in every event (Fernando's is the pro tour event, you'll unlock the "Pro Tour unlocked" trophy when starting this series of events). You don’t need to play Fernando’s finale at all. Play step 1 like this: Heat and semi-final in Rock Ledge, then choose „ go to next level“ to skip the finale, the same at Forsaken Gully. Afterwards, you must play (and preferably win) all three events including the finale in L’Ossuaire. You know that you’ve done everything correctly if your character is placed 1st (to 5th, depending on your performace, but I always tried to win) on the large leaderboard and the first 5 places are depicted in yellow. The yellow color is actually crucial in terms of the “Super Champ“ trophy. You will also qualify for the Pro Tour if you break all your boards at L’Ossuaire and you’ll even be placed 1st if you win everything else, but there won’t be yellow color and you won’t unlock “Super Champ“ (tried it myself wasting a couple of hours). You will most likely earn only "High Score" and "Pro Tour unlocked" until this point because you earn most of the other trophies in "Single Session" mode. 2.) Play the 3 levels of each area in "Single Session" mode. You don't need to play the challenge levels of each country (bottom left level). You'll unlock a trophy for placing 1st while playing each level. 3.) Now comes the lengthy part: Repeat step 1 with each of the other 6 characters so that you win the finale at the L’Ossuaire event while making it at least to place #5 on the large leaderboard on which the first 5 places including you are written in yellow. After you see the leaderboard, save the game, quit to menu, start qualifying with the next character. You’ll unlock “Super Champ“ after seeing yourself in the yellow part of the large leaderboard with the 7th character and saving the game afterwards. As you will often have like 2-3 minutes left each round you can do something else next to this (like playing a different game and / or composing a mini trophy guide ). Difficulty of the game: 3/10 Approx. time to 100% : around 10-12 hours if you follow my tips, 20+ hours if you fail figuring out the how-to (like I did before contacting the developers).
