iJLAW_ Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) I just got word from two different people that they started their games on normal, changed the difficulty to easy mid game/back to normal as they pleased, then when they completed the game, popped all the trophies including apocalyptic mode without ever putting it on that difficulty. On top of that, it adds to your total stats between save files. Although there is no new game plus, if you play the through the game once and only save 4 humans, or collect only 2 fragments, you can start a new game to save one more human to pop the trophy for saving 5. etc..

PS_4Trophies Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Mind you, I didn't do this on the current 1.03 patch although I can't possibly imagine that it changed anything. The most recent patch only removed HDR because that was causing visual bugs on the Pro. I also did it on a second save file (The first experienced a game breaking bug). There's a lot of variables in play and until more people simply verify it works. I can't even say that switching the difficulty had any part in it. I only switched to story mode if I just wanted to get somewhere quickly or search for collectibles and then switched it back to balance difficulty. As for collectibles, I managed to find 2 Chunks of Adamantine so the third one for the trophy was on a second save file. I would really like to know where the 3rd is and I'll make a video guide so if anyone finds it, I'd like to know. The only item in the entire game that I can't figure out how to reach is the one in the screenshot below in the Depths. Of course, there's a chance I haven't discovered a secret cave someplace else. Currently found one in Bonelands and Scar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know about other languages like france or spain, but they might have been removed too. Im wondering how this was even possible. I mean, accidently removing all these voice and text datafiles ? I hope they will deliver a hotfix for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe it does have nothing to do with changing difficulty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbuk Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I've been playing on Apocalyptic and I'm just not finding the bosses fun on it. The mobs? Definitely quite challenging, but also satisfying when you finally finish them. The bosses are just way too tanky though. I'll try and power through it though because I'd hate to lower it to balanced and then have a patch release that fixes the trophy and makes all my progress on Apocalyptic useless because I lowered it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much respect haha. Im starting a speedrun on normal tonight to test this glitch. Worst case scenario, I got another playthrough ahead of me. For the sake of my trophy guide, I will probably have to play on apocalyptic regardless for tips and strategies Edited November 27, 2018 by iJLAW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe it does have nothing to do with changing difficulty Difficulty variables wouldnt have that many variables All the trigger looks for at the end is what difficulty the game is on it seems here Either switching difficulty somehow fools the game into flicking the trophy tracker to say apocalyptic. Or switching in a certain way bugs it. Or its just bugged in general. Or normal flicks the apocalyptic switch as u say. All someone needs to is get to end of the game and play about with the difficulty selection Only variable is difficulty selection, just need to know the correct sequence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimusmart Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Is ir just starting on appcalyptic and then dropping it? That would make more sense, the game stays as identified as apocalyptic in regards to the trophy tracker This is going to end up like UC4 difficulty trophies, good for disc owners, bad for digitals COWABUNGA ;)!

PS_4Trophies Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 It might not get patched at all. How much do they care about trophies? I can only assume they don't even know about it yet. All I can confirm is that I never touch apocalyptic. Started on Balanced, switch to Story here and there and finished on Balanced. Could very well that all you need to do is play on Balanced.

Well they never even addressed the Darksiders II trophy issue on PS3 so I doubt they care too much, but maybe because Darksiders III is a new game (and still has 2 upcoming DLCs too), they'll care enough to patch it, whereas Darksiders II was old by the time it broke.

At first that would seem the logical bug, but thanks for confirming thats not the cause Seems a even lazier cause. How could they leave in such a coding error where the trophy tracker views a lower difficulty as the highest..

Ps4 trophies just confirmed its not related to that oddly Its related to a lowee difficulty or simply altering difficulties in game it seems.

Will power through this tonight so will be done tomorrow sometime to confirm. Im still on 1.02 and won't update to 1.03. Hopefully i dont encounter any more gaem breaking glitches forcing me to restart the game from the begining again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
