Jak X: Combat Racing

Jak X: Combat Racing is a vehicular combat, arcade-style racing game based on the Jak and Daxter series. The game was first released in 2005 for the PlayStation 2, before being revamped with trophy support for the PlayStation 4 in 2017.

Players control characters from the Jak and Daxter series, racing in customizable cars resembling dune buggies. In Adventure mode, Jak must participate in Eco Cup Champions in order to obtain the antidote to a poison. In Exhibition mode, players can select other characters and race freely. Vehicular combat is also a major segment of the game, in which players can pick up offensive and defensive weapons to use against other racers.

The original Jak X: Combat Racing received positive reviews with an average score of 78%, praised for its graphics, variety in gameplay modes, and multiplayer, though criticized by some for its difficulty curve.

The difficulty of this game entirely depends on your racing skills and experience, as well as a bit of luck. The game as a mixture of some easy races, and challenging ones which may require several retries until cleared. Overall, with enough patience, any average player can push through and get that Platinum without too much difficulty or much time required. There are no online trophies to worry about, and no missable trophies, either.

Expect around 12-15 hours for the Platinum, depending on your racing skills and a bit of luck.

We recommend beginning with Adventure mode, which is the main story for the game. This is divided into four tournaments called Eco Cups, with 20 races in each. You will eventually need to get Gold in each individual race for each Eco Cup’s respective trophy. However, there are no missable trophies, so feel free to move on if a particular race is too difficult, and return to it later.

Next, you’ll need at least 500,000 Precursor Orbs to spend on unlockables, which in turn will net you more trophies. If you’ve managed to get Gold on all races in Adventure mode, than you should already have your 500,000 Precursor Orbs. If not, then this is a good chance to go back and get Gold on any races you’re missing.

Now it’s time to do some shopping. To save time, first make a back-up save on a separate slot. Then visit either the Secret Shop in the main menu, or the Garage in the Yellow Eco Cup in Adventure mode, and start buying items and upgrades to unlock their respective trophies. Check out the Jak X Combat Racing trophy guide links under our Links tab for details on these trophies.

Once you’ve bought all you can, exit out and reload the previous save with the 500,000 Precursor Orbs to buy what you’re still missing.

After that, simply mop-up whatever trophies you may still be missing before getting the Platinum. Again, check out the Jak X Combat Racing trophy guide links to see what you still need and their requirements.

Uncharted The Lost Legacy Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Uncharted The Lost Legacy Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A third-person action adventure and standalone expansion to the 2016 Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Like other games in the Uncharted series, the Platinum requires a Crushing mode playthrough, and plenty of collectibles to find.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a third-person action adventure, and an expanded standalone to the 2016 Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, featuring the character Chloe Frazer as the protagonist. Like other games in the series, players use firearms and melee combat to take down enemies, perform stealth moves, engage in platforming, and solve puzzles.

Fortune hunter Chloe Frazer begins her adventure in India, searching for the legendary tusk of Ganesh. She soon teams up with mercenary Nadine Ross as they embark on a quest to find the same legendary tusk that Chloe's father searched for and died trying.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy received positive reviews with an average score of 85%, and received several nominations for Best Game by numerous online magazines, for its graphics, presentation, combat, and overall fun, though criticized for possessing too much similarity to Uncharted 4.

If you've played any of the previous Uncharted games, then you'll have a good idea of what's involved for the Platinum. Like the other titles in the series, you'll need to complete a Crushing mode playthrough, find numerous collectibles, fulfill some kill-related challenges, and unlock a few other miscellaneous trophies. A Chapter Select is available for mopping up what you're missing. Also, once the game is completed, a number of modifiers such as infinite ammo and weapon select are available, which makes a second playthrough on Crushing mode easier than on previous Uncharted installments.

Expect roughly 15-20 hours for the Platinum, depending on skills and how many playthroughs are performed.

Unlike many previous games in the Uncharted series, Crushing Mode is available from the start. So if you wish to avoid two playthroughs, and you're confident in your skills, you can get this out of the way from the very beginning.

However, be warned that playing on Crushing mode with make unlocking numerous trophies along the way quite challenging. Also, by playing and completing the game on any mode, you will unlock modifiers such as weapon select and infinite ammo, which would later make your Crushing mode playthrough much easier.

As you play, you'll want to be on the lookout for the 68 treasures you'll need to collect for the Collector Of Antiquities trophy. Check out the collectible locations guides and walkthroughs under our Links tab for help with these. You'll also need to find and unlock all 21 lockboxes for the Picks Or It Didn't Happen trophy, take a photo of all 28 photo opportunities for the Pics Or It Didn't Happen trophy, find all 11 Hoysala tokens for the Yas Queen trophy, listen to all 17 optional conversations for the Getting To Know You trophy. If you miss anything, don't fret. You can always use the Chapter Select after your first playthrough to collect whatever you still need. The only exception is related to the Yas Queen trophy, as some collectibles will be inaccessible until you've recovered all 11 Hoysala tokens.

Also, there are several kill-related trophies to work on, and some miscellaneous chapter-specific trophies which you can attempt to unlock during your first playthrough. Check out the Uncharted The Lost Legacy trophy guide links under our Links tab for more details. Again, if you miss them, you can always go back and use the Chapter Select.

There is one trophy which is technically missable. In order to unlock The Way Of The Warrior trophy, you'll need to reach the outskirts of Halebidu in Chapter 5 without using any firearms or explosives. This means you cannot use guns or explosives in the previous four chapters, up until you pass through the large doors into Chapter 5. This will be difficult to do if your first playthrough is on Crushing mode, but easy on Explorer. If you accidentally fire a weapon or throw a grenade, than quickly exit the game and reload to the last check point.

If you've completed the game on a difficult mode under Crushing, then your next step is to play through on Crushing mode. Remember, you can now use modifiers to help you. This is also a good chance to unlock any weapon kill-related trophies, or anything else you're still missing.

Once all that's finished, simply use the Chapter Select to mop up anything you're still missing. Check out the Uncharted The Lost Legacy trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you still need, and their requirements.

Enjoy!

Crash Bandicoot Warped Trophy Guide

Crash Bandicoot Warped Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A third-person action platformer and the third installment in the Crash Bandicoot series. The Platinum is arguably easier than the first game in the trilogy.

Crash Bandicoot: Warped

Crash Bandicoot: Warped is a third-person platforming adventure and the third game in the Crash Bandicoot series. The game was first released for the PlayStation One in 1998, and revamped with trophy support for the PlayStation 4 as part of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Players control both Crash and Coco Bandicoot, obtaining crystals in each area while avoiding hazards and attacking enemies by jumping and landing on them, or perform a pin attack.

After the space station, Cortex Vortex, has been destroyed, pieces drop into a tropical mountain and set free the mastermind Uka Uka. He recruits Doctor Nefarious Trophy, who created a Time-Twisting Machine that allows their minions to travel through time and collect gems and crystals. It's up to the Bandicoots to stop this heinous scheme.

The original Crash Bandicoot: Warped received postive reviews with an average score of 92%, praised for its improvements, detailed graphics, smooth frame rate, and overall fun.

If you've already played the previous two Crash Bandicoot games, then you should have enough experience that Warped won't prove much difficulty. Overall, the Platinum is arguably easier than the first Crash Bandicoot game, and roughly the same difficulty as Cortex Strikes Back. While some relics can be a bit challenging, any average player should be able to obtain the Platinum with enough practice and time.

Expect around 20 hours for the Platinum, depending on skills.

There are no missable trophies to worry about, so simply play through each of the five warp zones and defeat the main bosses. You can start working on collecting gems now if you wish, though some will be unavailable until the secret paths are later unlocked. So for the most part, simply play through the main story and enjoy the game.

Once that's done, it's time to go back and replay the levels. Here, your objective is to get all the gold relics and gems in each level. If you have any trouble, check out the guides under our Links tab.

Next, it's time to do the same thing, but with the secret levels. There are five secret levels and two super secret levels. Again, check out the guides under the Links tab if you have any trouble.

Finally, simply mop-up any miscellaneous trophies you may be missing at this point. For more information, check out the Crash Bandicoot Warped trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you're missing and their requirements.

Jak 3 Trophy Guide PS4

Jak 3 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A direct sequel to Jak II, and a revamp of the 2004 title released on the PlayStation 2. The game and its Platinum is slightly easier than Jak II, though still more challenging than The Precursor Legacy.

Jak 3 HD

Jak 3 HD is a third-person adventure platformer, and a direct sequel to Jak II. The game was first released on the PlayStation 2 in 2004, and revamped in HD for the PlayStation 3 with trophy support in 2012

A year has passed since the events in Jak II, and Jak, Daxter and Pecker find themselves in the Wasteland desert after being banished by Count Veger. They are rescued from the heat and taken to Spragus City by a mercenary named Damas. Jak, along with his friends, continue their adventure in a coming battle for the city.

Jak 3 on the PlayStation 2 received positive reviews, with an average score of 86%, praised for its action, weapon ability, storytelling, and overall great end to the series.

In terms of difficulty, Jak 3 is about the same, if not slightly easier than Jak II, though certainly more challenging than the original. Requires one full playthrough, plus a chapter select to mop-up what you missed. And yes, there are many orbs to collect.

Overall, expect roughly 20-25 hours to obtain the Platinum.

NOTE: The trophies on the PS4 have a separate list from those on the PS3 and PS Vita.

First, you can simply enjoy the game and play it from beginning to end, in which you'll unlock all the story-related trophies along the way. There is a chapter select available, so don't worry about any missable trophies.

Once you've beaten the game, simply use the chapter select to mop-up the last remaining trophies. This will probably include finding all the Precursor Orbs, and possibly the 250 Metal Head Skull Gems. Be sure to check out the Jak 3 trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you're missing and their requirements.

Jak II Trophy Guide PS4

Editorial Team

Jak II Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A sequel to the original Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, and a revamp from the 2003 title released on the PlayStation 2. The game and its Platinum is significantly more challenging and time-consuming than the previous installment.

Jak II HD

Jak II HD, also known as Jak II: Renegade in Europe, is a third-person action platformer, and a sequel to Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, and was originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2003, then revamped in HD for the PlayStation 3 in 2012.

Taking place in the same fictional location as its prequel, Daxter manages to break Jak out of prison after being locked away by Baron Praxis for two years. Together, they join the Underground, a rebel organisation to take down the Baron and stop his tyranny.

The original Jak II on the PlayStation 2 met with positive reviews, scoring an average of 91%, for its fun adventure, interesting characters, and departure from the prequel's more linear gameplay.

This game is significantly more frustrating and time consuming than its prequel, hence the 2-star difficulty rating. At least one playthrough is required, with mopping-up and some grinding afterwards. However, there is a trick - commonly known as the Orb Glitch - which can shave a good 15-20 hours off your gameplay, thereby bringing this difficulty score to a high 1-star.

Legitimately, the Platinum could take between 30-40 hours.

NOTE: The trophies on the PS4 have a separate list from those on the PS3 and PS Vita.

For the most part, you can start simply by playing the game from beginning to end. Depending on whether you chose to use the Orb Glitch or not, however, will decide how careful you are during your initial playthrough.

There are a total of 286 Precursor Orbs in the game, and you'll need to collect all of them for The Collectionator trophy. If you're going after this trophy legitimately, then you'll need to worry about the 7 located in the Metal Head Nest which can only be reached at the end of the story, and not after. This means, if you miss these 7 Orbs, then The Collectionator trophy can become missable.

Once you finish the story, you should have the vast majority of the trophies. Most likely, you will still need to find the remaining Precursor Orbs, which involves quite a lot of searching and grinding. Also, the game doesn't list in which areas you've already collected the Orbs, making this rather frustrating.

However, there is the famous Orb Glitch. Simply load up an Orb Hunt side mission, race to the Precursor Orb, and leap over it. In mid-air, pause the game and select Restart Mission. Jak will fall on the Orb during the load, and you can restart the mission to collect it again. Though it will take awhile to reach 286 Orbs, this method is far faster than searching on your own.
