bikeman223 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Trophy wise, are you alright to back up and redownload your save? I ask because if you get hit during the second timed phase of the fight you automatically hit a checkpoint and would then have to restart the mission. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestad_cl Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Yes. Remember you have 3 save slots and you can copy them. Edited October 15, 2020 by Tempestad_cl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it better to do that or can I just use the PSPlus save backup? Edit: Got it. PSPlus backup works just fine.

And I take it this is also useful for going for a fast time in the DLC missions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but those trophies are so easy that is not needed. You can skip most of the battles with Sam and Wolf you have a few mandatory fights and rest can be done without being seen. Just equip nanopastes and press start and restart in case you mess up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, so deaths count for time but restarts don’t. Good to know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to bump this old thread but I'm about to start tackle this soon (currently on my hard playthrough) so I'd like to check something in advance. If you get hit through the actual fight, would I have to restart the entire confrontation with Armstrong? By that I mean the first phase where you're basically running away from him. Or would I just have to restart the part where we're actually fighting? Just asking to make sure I don't mess this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a very long time, but I believe you just restart from the actual fight/phase 3. Though running away from him still counts as part of the no-damage section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just wondering how the damage calculation works for the trophy. In my first run on normal I died many times in the fight section and it is like you said, I restarted from the beginning of the fight section. So I was hoping that I would have to just do the fight section again if I got hit and not the whole thing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure this applies to all the bosses in the game. It's why one-phase/ no-checkpoint fights like Monsoon, Sam and Khamsin are a bit harder. If I'm wrong about this I hope someone corrects me. Edited July 30, 2023 by bikeman223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm wrong about this I hope someone corrects me. That's what I was hoping to be the case. I mean it would just make sense for those no-hits to bank considering the placement of the checkpoints. Thanks for the feedback.^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
