Hardest trophies oh my

This list is meant to try and encompass some of
the toughest Trophies out there. Bear in mind, these trophies may or
may not be time consuming – but they are definitely hard to get. Only
games that feature Platinum trophies are included, if not – PAIN and
Soldner X would leave no room for the rest. Bear in mind these are in
no particular order.

Be sure to leave your comments and tell us which trophies YOU think should’ve made the cut, enjoy!



Killzone 2 – Heroic Survivor (Gold) ***Contains Spoilers***

Complete all missions on Elite difficulty.

Beating
Killzone 2 in Elite difficulty is hard: You can only take a couple of
shots before you’re dead and the AI is unforgiving. Despite of this,
you can still shoot your way through with some skill and a bit of trial
and error… That is until you cross the gates of hell. I am referring,
of course, to the Autarch’s Sanctum, a section of the game so
unforgiving that you can expect to die to the upwards of 50 times. It
doesn’t help that the developers seemed to pour all their AI knowledge
into the Helghast, leaving you with brain-dead Rico to watch your back.
Enemies swarm you in waves of increasing difficulty, culminating in the
dreaded Rocket Launcher guys. After killing his goons, you have to take
care of Radec himself – who will butcher you if you don’t turn around
quick enough. OUCH!



Call of Duty: World at War – For the Motherland (Bronze) ***Contains Spoilers***

Complete ‘Heart of the Reich’ on Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)

Veteran
difficulty in COD:W@W will cause you to curse at the heavens and fling
your shoes at the television. Heart of the Reich, particularly the
Storm the Plaza checkpoint, is without a doubt the most frustrating
part of the game. The enemies will lob grenades at you with so much
accuracy it feels like you’re fighting an army of Nazi Tom Bradys and
Johan Santanas. Seriously, stay in a spot for more than 3 seconds and
you will be peppered with so many grenades, it sounds like a toast at a
wedding. Couple that with the fact that this seems like the longest
checkpoint in the entire game and you have yourself a recipe for tears.
The kicker? It’s a bronze trophy…







Wipeout HD – Zone Zeus (Gold):

In Zone Mode, reach Zone 75 on any track.

In Zone Mode, your ship starts out at a relatively
slow speed with full shields and each 10 seconds, your ship accelerates
a little. The trophy requires you to survive long enough to reach Zone
75, the problem is that even when you reach Zone 50, your ship is so
incredibly fast that you require nothing short of superhuman reflexes
to steer it. By the time you reach Zone 75, you’re probably in a state
of trance so deep that may not realize you’re having a seizure.

Wipeout HD – Beat Zico (Gold):

Equal or beat the lap time of 30.82 seconds on Anulpha Pass (Forward), Speed Lap, Venom using the Piranha.

Ah,
Wipeout HD again, to some, the hardest Platinum Trophy out there. Let
me state the following: I don’t know who Zico is, but I hate him. In
order to attain this trophy, you have to successfully catch every
boost, avoid hitting any wall, perform flawless barrel rolls and
maneuver your ship perfectly. Just a tiny miscalculation results in
failure by a fraction of a second. The precision required to attain
this Trophy is truly remarkable.



Grand Theft Auto IV – Auf Wiedersen Petrovic (Bronze):

You won in all variations of multiplayer games.

This
trophy would be quite easy if it wasn’t broken. I don’t know if it has
been fixed or not, but to all the people who have it, my most sincere
congratulations. If the Trophy wasn’t broken, you could do this over
time, taking breaks, focusing on winning a few events each day. But
alas, such is not the case. For some inexplicable reason, you have to
win them all in one sitting, with the same people, without any of you
quitting or losing the connection. Even if you stay online but your
partner’s connection drops, you will not win the Trophy. Plus, it’s not
like you have to win 15 events, there’s a total of 102 different
events, adding up to about 10 hours a sitting. If only it weren’t
broken…







Rock Band 2 – The Bladder of Steel Award (Gold):

Completed the Endless Setlist 2 without pausing or failing.

Thankfully, this can be done on any difficulty,
but it doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly tiresome. To earn this Gold
Trophy, you have to complete 84 songs straight, no water, no bathroom
breaks, nothing, just you and your instrument. By the time you finish
this, you will have either carpal tunnel for all you bassist and
guitarists, or throbbing biceps and forearms for the drummers.





Mirror’s Edge – Superstar (Gold):

Attain a Time Trial star rating of 90. [Pure Time Trials]

Granted,
it’s a DLC Trophy and not necessary for the Platinum, but damn is it
hard. You must achieve 3 stars ranking in almost every Trial, which
means painfully exploring for the best routesmand executing perfectly.
A single hard landing, wrong turn, or bad jump can drop you from 3 to 2
stars, costing you this hellish nightmare of a trophy.



Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe – The Thunder God (Bronze):

Complete Raiden’s Kombo Challenge

All
of the Kombo Challenges are incredibly tricky, but Raiden’s takes the
prize of most horrendously frustrating. If screaming rabidly at the TV
would unlock this trophy, then everyone would have it after the 10^th try, let alone 25^th or 50^th.
The timing necessary to complete the Kombos is so utterly ridiculous,
that to this day I suspect the Trophy is given out randomly. You
could’ve sworn you did it, in fact, Raiden unleashes a convincing
flurry of attacks, but still the button combination remains in the
screen, as if mocking you.

Street Fighter IV – Playing to Win (Silver):

Win 10 ranked matches in a row.

This
Trophy was probably easier to get when the game just released. Those
happy times when we were all noobs, clumsily hitting each other, maybe
spamming a few moves. Alas, those days are long gone and the people
that still play the game are the people who already have the Trophy.
You may be on a roll – your Cammy has defeated 6 opponents in a row and
you feel empowered, victorious, cocky maybe? And then you get matched
against a Ryu and it turns out it’s Ryu himself, sitting in his couch
in Japan with Ken beside him laughing his ass off as you get pummeled
in 13 seconds. Ouch, time to start over for the 12^th time.



Street Fighter IV- No Challenge Too Hard:

Cleared HARD Trial in Challenge Mode.

Again a Trophy that has to do with the Combos,
only with a ‘C’ instead of a ‘K’ and not just for one character, but
for all. This trophy requires you to be precise, patient, and skilled.
Did I mention patient?



Well, there you go, for all the Platinum
Trophy seeking whores out there, steer clear from these games unless
you’re ready for a real test of skills. Like I said before, some
Trophies might be more time consuming (I’m looking at you Resistance
2), but these take the crown as the most utterly hellish. Proceed at
your own risk, you have been warned.
