Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is a third-person action platformer, originally released on sixth-generation consoles in 2005, and revamped in HD with trophy support on the PlayStation 3 in 2010 as part of the Prince of Persia Trilogy. Following Warrior Within, the game is the final chapter in the Sands of Time saga.

Following the events of Warrior Within, Kaileena and the Prince return to Babylon to find it destroyed. His old nemesis Vizier has returned, and uses the Dagger of Time to make himself immortal. Cast out of the city, the Prince must return and face his old enemy.

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones on the PlayStation 2 received fairly positive reviews, with an average score of 85%, praised for its exciting story and visuals.

The game isn't that much more difficult than The Forgotten Sands, but far more time consuming, as you'll need to do three full playthroughs, one on each difficulty mode. Farming for Sand Credits can also be a bit of a grind. And, during one of your three playthroughs, you'll need to complete the game without dying.

Overall, not very difficult, just time consuming. Expect around 20-25 hours to complete.

Each of the three trophies related to completing the game on a different difficulty mode are NOT stackable, which is why you'll need to perform three full playthroughs. To make life easier, we recommend focusing on specific trophies during each playthrough, rather than all of them at once.

First, we suggest playing first on Hard mode. During this playthrough, try to get the Healthy trophy, which involves collecting all the life upgrades, as this of course will also help you on your run through Hard. And, work on getting the Silent Prince trophy, which is getting 50 kills with a speed kill. These silent take-downs will make your run on Hard easier.

After completing the game on hard, reload your Hard game and replay the ending, which will give you 700 credits each time. Once you reach 10,000 credits, you'll unlock the Sand Collector trophy.

Next, start your second playthrough on Normal, and this time focus on getting all the remaining trophies, except for Sand Snake. These might involve the miscellaneous kill-related trophies, and sealing all the sand portals for the Sealed Portals trophy.

Last, start your playthrough on Easy. The only trophy you should be missing, other than Mortal, is the Sand Snake trophy, which involves playthrough through without dying. Hopefully, after two playthroughs on the harder modes, this shouldn't be too difficult. Remember to save often, and reload whenever needed.

Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *  A third-person action platformer and a return to the original Prince of Persia storyline. If using a collectibles guide, the Platinum is both quick and easy to unlock.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a third-person action platformer, and is a return to the original Prince of Persia storyline, taking place between The Sands of Time and Warrior Within.

Seven years after Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the Prince heads to see his brother, Malik, to seek education in leadership, only to find the kingdom overrun by an army attempting to break into the treasure vaults. Malik uses a power called Solomon's Army which creates sand creatures to fight the invading army, but things don't go quite as planned.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands received mixed to positive reviews, with an average score of 74%, praised for its overall fun but lacking in graphics and presentation.

While it may not be in the same league as Hannah Montana: The Movie, this game is still fairly easy and relatively quick to earn the platinum, so long as you're following a collectibles guide. There are five missable trophies to watch out for. Otherwise, the others are combat-related, challenge-related, or just story-related.

With a collectibles guide, this Platinum should take roughly around 15 hours to unlock

Make sure to select Normal difficulty. Then, once the game starts, hit Start and lower the difficulty setting to Easy, which will unlock the Our Little Secret trophy. From here on out, it's up to you if you wish to continue playing on Easy, or reset back to Normal for more of a challenge.

It's entirely possible to get all the campaign trophies in one playthrough. But be aware of the 5 missables. Power Boost and Got Walkthrough? requires you to find and break all 21 sarcophagi throughout the game, so you'll want to follow one of the collectible guides under our Links tab. Stay Dry is a stunt which requires the Power of Flow ability in the castle. The Untouchable trophy requires you to defeat Ratash without taking damage, and Invincible requiers you to defeat him again in the final battle without taking damage. These five trophies, if not unlocked when you complete the game, will require nearly a full second playthrough.

The other trophies, aside from the story-related ones, are either combat or stunt related. Failure to unlock these will require a partial second playthrough, but can easily be collected during your first. Just make sure to check out the Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you need to do.

Finally, after having completed the game, you'll have unlocked the Enemy Tides Challenge. Here, you can grind for XP to upgrade the last of your abilities and earn the Completist trophy, as well as the Prince Of Tides trophy for completing the challenge.

Prince of Persia Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Prince of Persia Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A third-person action platformer belonging to the Prince of Persia franchise, though heavily deviated in both style and combat system. The Platinum is fairly average in terms of skill and time required.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC

Prince of Persia

Like the othes in the Prince of Persia series, this is a third-person adventure in which you'll be jumping, climbing and flipping through the air while swinging your sword to victory. The game was created with rotoscoping, which gives an artistic feel as though you're playing a painting.

After saving her, Elika explains that her father is the one who sent the soldiers after her. Once her father destroys the Tree of Life, the evil god Ahriman is free to bring evil across the land. The Prince and Elika must travel to each Fertile Ground throughout the kingdom to rejuvenate its power and defeat Ahriman.

Though it will take some time, there aren't any trophies which are supremely difficult in this game. You'll find yourself acquiring trophy after trophy at the start of the game. Then a long pause before you collect the last batch.

The two most challenging trophies will be: Light Seeds Master, which requires you to find every light seed in the game, and Be Gentle With Her, which means Elika can only save you less than 100 times in the game. A little frustrating and time consuming, but nothing which warrants more than two stars for this game.

Many trophies will be gained automatically throughout the game, with others which are required to complete the story. Upon your first playthrough, without going out of your way, you should have collected roughly 60% of the trophies.

At least 2 playthroughs will be necessary. Focus the first on completing all the necessary challenges. This includes finding all the Light Seeds. Use our Links to help you with this. During your second playthrough, focus on getting the Be Gentle With Her trophy. This means that she cannot save you more than 100 times. Start a new save, and begin. Then save often! Every time you miscalculate a jump or fail to defend against an enemy and Elika saves you, simply reload. It will take time, but is very doable.

Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ** The Assassin’s Creed series continues in the high seas. Average difficulty with a few online trophies.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag ** 51 Ubisoft Montreal Canada 36 13 1 6 10

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is an action-adventure open world which mixes the historical genre with sci-fi, and is the sixth installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and a sequel to the 2012 Assassin's Creed III. Black Flag is also the first of the series to appear on the PlayStation 4 as well as the PlayStation 3.

Set in 18th Century Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, Edward Kenway - the grandfather of Assassin's Creed III's Ratonhnhake:ton, is a privateer-turned-pirate-turned-assassin, who is attempting to uncover a conspiracy between the Templars and their dealings with the British and Spanish empires. These memories are unearthed by an unnamed player character who is hired by Abstergo Entertainment using samples from Desmond Miles' body.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag received positive reviews, with an average score of 89%, for its beautiful graphics, ability to revitalize the series, and overall fun gameplay.

Considered easier than Assassin's Creed III, Black Flag has your standard offline trophies which can be unlocked during the free roaming phase after completing the story. There are 6 online trophies, the most time consuming being Committed To The Cause in which you must reach level 55 in multiplayer. But aside from requiring some time, all of them are doable without needing any boosting.

All in all, you can expect around 35-40 hours of gameplay for this Platinum.

NOTE: The Trophies on the PS3 have a separate list than those on the PS4.

If you've played any of the previous Assassin's Creed titles, then you'll know how this roadmap works, which is essentially in three stages.

First, simply play through the story from beginning to end. There are no missable trophies, so you can just enjoy the story and not worry about purposely unlocking anything. Eventually, you will need to get 100% synchronization in every main mission. But by the end of the game, your player-character will be fully upgraded, making this easier to do later.

Once you've finished the story and have entered the free roaming series, here you can mop-up all the other offline trophies you still need. Check out the trophy guides in our Links page for further details. This will also include, if you haven't yet done so, getting 100% synchronization.

Once that's finished, you can head into multiplayer and collect the last remaining 6 trophies. For the All Rounder trophy, a good idea would be to keep track of all the weapons and abilities you've been using, to avoid any confusion afterwards. Also, in order to reach level 55, it's possible to boost in private sessions. If you're looking for a Boosting Buddy, check out the forum we've posted under our Links tab.

Assassin’s Creed III Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Assassin’s Creed III Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  Acquiring 100% completion on the missions is arguably more difficult than previous titles in the series. Online trophies are on par with Revelations in terms of difficulty.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Assassin’s Creed III *** 51 Ubisoft Montreal Canada 36 13 1 6 8

Assassin’s Creed III

Assassin's Creed III is a third-person action adventure with stealth elements, is the fifth installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and a direct sequel to Revelations. The story flashes between events in the 21st Century and 18th Century colonial America, and introduces a new fictional historical character.

Following the events of Revelations, Desmond Miles and his friends travel to the Grand Temple of "Those Who Came Before," an ancient race of beings who were responsible for creating humankind, but were wiped off the face of the Earth in a global calamity. A key is required to activate the temple and stop the re-occurrence of a global disaster, and to find it, Desmond must use the Animus to explore the memories of another ancestor, the half-English, half-Mohawk man named Ratonhnhake:tone, also known as Connor, who is mixed up with the Templar order after they attacked his Native American village.

Like its predecessors, Assassin's Creed III received very positive reviews, with an average score of 90% for its incredible visuals and great story, though is not perfect due to complaints of some game glitches.

If you've played any previous Assassin's Creed titles, in comparison to difficulty we could say that AC3 is not as challenging and time consuming as Brotherhood, but some of the offline trophies make this game more difficult than Revelations and of course AC2. While the game still possesses the free roaming option after completing the story, the Perfectionist trophy, which requires completing 100% of each mission can be challenging since you will need to replay the entire mission again should you fail. There are 6 online trophies to acquire as well, though are not any more difficult than those in Revelations.

If you've played the previous Assassin's Creed titles, then you know the drill. Simply load up the game and play from beginning to end, without worry of any missable trophies. Along the way, you may wish to attempt getting 100% completion on the missions, just to make your life easier when you mop-up later.

Once you've finished the story, you are free to roam and gather any missed offline trophies. Each mission is not too long, though most of them contain bonus objectives which require finishing in order to get 100% completion, and these can be tricky at times. If you miss one, you'll need to restart the mission - hence the 3-star difficulty rating for this game.

Once you've collected the offline trophies, there are still 6 online ones to earn. You won't need to redeem a pass to get on the multiplayer. For the most part, you'll be focusing on reaching Level 20 for the Abstergo Entertainment trophy, while completing certain objectives for the remaining five. Check out the trophy guide in our Links page for specific details of each trophy.
