Trophy Guide

Trophy Guide

Only the trophies that require further action in unlocking will be explained in this section.

inFAMOUS 2 Platinum Trophy (Platinum)
Collect all other inFAMOUS 2 Trophies
 
Pain Builds Character (Gold)
Finish the game on hard difficulty.
When starting a new game and before facing the Beast for the first time, you should switch the difficulty to HARD mode and don't change it until you complete the game. If you're playing for your second playthrough (assuming that you completed the first playthrough in normal difficulty), the game will automatically change your difficulty to HARD after finishing a few missions. Take note that if this happened, finishing the game won't unlock the trophy – even if you haven't changed the difficulty manually the entire time.

Just One More (Gold)
Pick up all the blast shards scattered around New Marais.
Refer to the Blast Shard Locations section and check the individual maps to find all 305 blast shards.
 
With Great Power Comes Greater Power (Silver)
Unlock and purchase all powers.
You can unlock this in a single playthrough as long as you purchase all abilities available for your Karma standing. That means you don't need to purchase the powers locked to the opposite karma to get this trophy.

Shardcore (Silver)
Pick up 50% of blast shards scattered around New Marais.
Refer to the Blast Shard Locations section and check the individual maps to find the blast shards.

Fight the Good Fight (Silver)
Unlock the good ending.
 
Forging Your Own Path (Silver)
Unlock the evil ending.
 
Land Lord (Silver)
Take over the first island in New Marais.
Take over a territory by completing all side missions – including the ones dropped by defeated enemies. If you haven't freed an area from the enemy's grasp and you can't find any other side missions anymore, hang around in that area and kill any enemy until they drop a hidden package or convoy mission.

It's My Town, Now (Silver)
Take over the second island in New Marais.
Take over a territory by completing all side missions – including the ones dropped by defeated enemies. If you haven't freed an area from the enemy's grasp and you can't find any other side missions anymore, hang around in that area and kill any enemy until they drop a hidden package or convoy mission.
 
Well inFORMED (Silver)
Collect all Dead drops.
Refer to the Dead Drop Locations section to find all 29 dead drops in the game.

Arch Villain (Silver)
Earn full negative Karma.
 
Incorruptible (Silver)
Earn full positive Karma.
 
Behind the Curtain (Bronze)
Collect 50% of the available Dead Drops.
Refer to the Dead Drop Locations section to find the 29 dead drops in the game.

A Streetcar Named 'Boom!' (Bronze)
Complete BOOM!
 
Quid Pro Kuo (Bronze)
Complete Leading the Charge.
 
Playing Both Sides (Bronze)
Complete Fooling the Rebels.
 
Ambulance Chaser (Bronze)
Complete Hearts and Minds Campaign.
 
Am I The Daddy? (Bronze)
Complete Nix's New Family.
 
Exposure (Bronze)
Complete Exposing Bertrand.
 
The Cleaner (Bronze)
Complete the assassination side missions.
 
Frozen Asset (Bronze)
Complete the ice Conduit side missions.
Complete all the good karma side missions involving an ice gang defector. In every mission, his appearance changes. Finally he'll go berserk and you'll need to kill him as part of another side mission entitled “Mercy Killing”

Dazed and Defused (Bronze)
Take down the Blast Shard Bomber.
Complete the side mission “The Gauntlet”

Back to the Bayou (Bronze)
Return to the swamp blockade.
This can be done immediately after getting the Lightning Tether. Head to the same spot where you started off and backtrack your way to the swamp. You can also find the last the dead drop here. 

Mountaineer (Bronze)
Climb to the top of the 3 tallest buildings in New Marais.
The buildings you must climb are listed below. Take note that you should be standing at their topmost part; if there's an antenna or anything that Cole can hop unto, make sure to step on it. This is easier done by using the lightning tether ability.
 
1. Cathedral

2. Ice Tower

3. Clock Tower

Extreme Makeover (Bronze)
Destroy 30 verandas or other large objects.
 
Watch That First Step (Bronze)
Defeat an enemy by destroying the object they stand on.
Easiest done in the first island where militia soldiers are fond of staying in verandas. Just destroy the verandas to make the floor collapse under their feet and defeat them.

Finish What You Started (Bronze)
Perform 100 finishers or ultra melee combos.
 
Knockout in the Blackout (Bronze)
Defeat 50 enemies in powered down areas while no missions are active.
You need to do this before powering up the last area otherwise you'll miss this trophy. Just sneak in and continue killing a total of 50 enemies while in a powered-down area. I find this easier when following the evil playthrough since you can just bio-leech enemies or siphon dead bodies (shoot a body until it glows with electricity then absorb it immediately).
 
Go Long! (Bronze)
Hurl 50 objects using the Kinetic Pulse ability.

Cole' Blooded (Bronze)
Defeat 100 civilians.
 
Army Of Me (Bronze)
Defeat 300 enemies.
 
Hero to the People (Bronze)
Stop 80 crimes in progress.
This is best done when playing as a good hero since most of these opportunities are beneficial to your karma and experience. 

Nothing Can Bring Me Down (Bronze)
Stay off the ground for 130 meters.
Easiest done with improved static thrusters; otherwise, try to jump from a tall building and hover as far as you can. Jumping off from any of the three tallest buildings in the game should do the trick.

Return to Sender (Bronze)
Send a Helicopter's rockets back at it using any Blast ability.

Vehicular Manslaughter (Bronze)
Defeat 25 enemies by throwing cars at them.
 
Take Them For A Spin (Bronze)
Hit at least 6 cars in a single Ionic Vortex.
 
Shock and Awe (Bronze)
Thunder drop into a group of 5 or more enemies.
 
Thunder Flop (Bronze)

Discerning Taste (Bronze)
