(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); US version, tested with Xploder only, unlocks 100% of the trophies with a little work. The saves in this thread will make your life as easy as possible. Credits go to:

swordplus for his original save at GameFAQs;
Cissamannen and mexi001for providing trophy tips


NOTES

-If you have the US version, you can simply copy over the entire save folders. If you have the EU version, you need to create your own save by booting up the game, then going into “OPTIONS” and “SAVE/LOAD”,and keep your own PARAM.SFO file while copying over everything else.

-The trophies for this game stack between 3 different regions: US/EU, JAP and China.


INSTRUCTIONS

In case the links below are dead, I've uploaded the entire save set here, so just download this one file and follow the instructions below.

REMOVED

======================================
-Download, resign and copy the following save to your PS3:

REMOVED

-Go into “CHARACTERS”, and select anyone, then go to his “TITLES”. This will pop:

(Bronze) Perfection
(Bronze) Decorated Officer
(Bronze) Rising Dragon
(Bronze) War Hero
(Gold) Lord of the Three Kingdoms

-Now select the following characters and go to their individual “TITLES”:

1. Liu Bei (under “Shu” Kingdom. Your current kingdom is shown in the top left corner. You can switch kingdoms by pressing “L1” and “R1”)
2. Sun Jian (under “Wu” kingdom)
3. Cao Cao (under “Wei” kingdom)
4. Sima Zhao (under “Jin” kingdom)
5. Diao Chan (under “Other”)

During this process, the following will pop:

(Bronze) King of Shu
(Bronze) King of Wu
(Bronze) King of Wei
(Bronze) King of Jin
(Bronze) Outcast Hero

-Now exit “CHARACTERS” and go to “WEAPONS”. Pick the first choice (Axe), and go to the bottom (Divine Vajra, not sure if this is necessary). This will pop:

(Bronze) Anarchist
(Bronze) Breaker of Bedlam
(Silver) Master of Chaos
(Bronze) Sleepwalker
(Bronze) Survivor
(Silver) Legendary Warrior
(Gold) Weapons Master

-The trophy (Bronze) Connoisseur would probably pop during the process as well. If not, exit “WEAPONS”, go to “EVENTS”, start watching any event, then press “START” and then “SKIP”. The trophy should pop.

-Now enter “WALLPAPER”. The following trophy should pop: (If not, select “Pang De”, press “CIRCLE” to back out, press “R1”, and select “Pang De” again.)

(Bronze) Home Decorator

-Now back out all the way to the main menu (a quick way to to this is to press “START” + “SELECT”, and then press “START” at the title screen). You should see an option which says “CONTINUE”, select it. I made this in-battle save near the end with around 2990 KOs. Your character can one-hit KO pretty much everyone, so just kill a couple more people to hit 3000 KOs and finish the boss (Dong Zhuo) to end the stage. He’s very near your position, but you’ll have to kill one or two generals (marked as red circles on the mini-map, toggle the mini-map with “R2”, or press “SELECT” for more information). This will pop:

(Bronze) Army of One
(Bronze) Unrivaled Warrior
(Bronze) Legendary Hero
(Bronze) Millionaire
(Silver) Battle-hardened Veteran

-When the battle ends, you’ll end up in a town. The following trophies should pop immediately:

(Bronze) Up for a Challenge
(Silver) Imperial Protector

-While in town, talk (i.e. press “X” next to those with the text hovering over their heads) to the Counselor, the Strategist and the Merchant. This will pop:

(Bronze) Savvy Politician
(Bronze) Always Thinking
(Bronze) Trader
(Bronze) Master Trader

-Change the character to Cao Cao (press “START”, and then “SELECT CHARACTER”), then talk to the City Guard to start any battle on any difficulty. Follow DarkPriest's strategy:



This will pop:

(Bronze) Black Belt

-Once you have the (Bronze) Black Belt trophy, press “START + SELECT” to back out to the title screen, then “START” to get the to the main menu. Select “CHALLENGE MODE”. Unfortunately, you do have to go through each of the four challenges. But fear not, for you only have to be good enough to be ranked 10th in each challenge, and the trophies for “ranked 1st place“ of that challenge will be unlocked. This should be very easy. These are the 10th place requirements for each challenge as well as some general tips:

1. Arena – kill 15 officers or more. Use the default character (Huang Zhong), and stay the distance with your bow. Make good use of your EX attack ("SQUARE" x 4 + "TRIANGLE" x 2) and your 2 Musou attacks ("CIRCLE" on the ground or while in air). Very easy to do. Once you’ve killed 15 officers, just let the next officer kill you.

2. Rampage – kill 900 or more. Use a good crowd control guy like Guan Yu or Lu Bu and spam their area effect combos. Again, once you've killed over 900, just die.

3. Bridge Melee – Throw 300 or more off the bridge. Use Guan Yu, and be careful when you're moving/attacking so that you don't fall off the bridge yourself. The following moves are particularly useful, so spam them well:

-"SQUARE" x 3 + "TRIANGLE" combo. Great for pushing enemies back.
-His second Musou (hold "R1" then "CIRCLE"). This is excellent for finishing off officers quickly. Lu Bu spawns periodically, and when he does, make sure to finish him off with this Musou asap, as he can push you off the bridge very easily.

Once you've thrown more than 300 people off the bridge, jump off the bridge to end the challenge.

4. Speed Run – Complete the stage in under 7 minutes. Use Lu Bu, skip as many enemies as possible and only kill the officer at each gate. Make good use of his EX attack ("SQUARE" x 2 + "TRIANGLE" x 2) on the officers to finish them off quickly AND get a temporary speed boost as a result. Officers drop meat bums so if your health is low, make sure to grab one before moving on. Do not die.

The following trophies pop during this process:

(Bronze) Rampage
(Bronze) Bridge Melee
(Bronze) Speed Run
(Bronze) Arena
(Bronze) Champion
(Bronze) King of the Hill
(Bronze) First Past the Post
(Bronze) Gladiator
(Silver) Best of the Best



======================================
-Download, resign and copy the following save to your PS3:

REMOVED

-Load up the save, and continue "LEGEND MODE". Once in town, the following will pop:

(Bronze) Beloved Ruler

-Walk forward and talk to Diao Chan. The following will pop:

(Bronze) Hit with the Ladies
(Silver) Worshipped by All



======================================
-Download, resign and copy the following save to your PS3:

REMOVED

-Load up the save, and continue "LEGEND MODE". Once in town, walk forward and talk to Dong Zhuo. The following will pop:

(Bronze) It's Raining Men



======================================
-Download, resign and copy the following save to your PS3:

REMOVED

-Load up the save. You should see an option which says “CONTINUE” at the main menu, select it. Get ready, as you will be thrown into the thick of battle on the hardest difficulty. Kill Guan Yu, who's right next to you with whatever means necessary. With your character setup, it should be very easy. Your two Musou gauges are full, so make use of them well. Be careful, as enemies can kill you just as quickly as you can kill them - it's called nightmare mode for a reason. Should you fail, don't wait for the game to save, immediately press "START + SELECT", and reload the save to try again. Upon successful completion of the battle, the following will pop:

(Bronze) Classicist
(Bronze) Into Chaos
(Bronze) The Nightmare Begins



======================================
-Download, resign and copy the following save to your PS3:

REMOVED

-Load up the save. You should see an option which says “CONTINUE” at the main menu, select it. You're now inside a Pyrocannon. Press either "SQUARE", "CIRCLE" or "TRIANGLE" to kill one enemy. This will pop:

(Bronze) Siege Weapon Master



======================================
-Download, resign and copy the following save to your PS3:

REMOVED

-Load up the save. You should see an option which says “CONTINUE” at the main menu, select it. This is for the (Bronze) Martial Artist trophy, which requires you to get five "powered-up drops" by defeating five officers in a row with high enough combos. I've already killed 4 in a row, so just kill the officer right next to you with a combo of 8 or more. Lu Bu's "SQUARE","SQUARE","SQUARE","SQUARE","SQUARE","TRIANGLE" combo should more than do the trick. This will pop:

(Bronze) Martial Artist

-If you've followed my instructions up to this point, the platinum trophy will pop:

(Platinum) True Warrior of the Three Kingdoms

If you struggle to obtain the "Black Belt" trophy, then you may want to use this method:

"Use Cao Cao make both his weapons swords. Start combo with EX attack, if it freezes them then weapon switch, SST into Musou 1. As long as they're frozen then the combo so it can't be broken. Really super easy just try not to kill your combo dummy too fast so you get plenty of chances to do, use low level weapons with no seals if this is an issue. If his EX attack does not freeze them then just keep trying to set it up."- taken from gamefaqs.com by DarkPriest.

I used this method myself to get this trophy successfully (have to admit it takes a number of attempts).

The speed run is really pissing me off.

Can you explain the Martial Artist Trophy a little better. Ive been at it for an hour and I cannot get it.

The speedrun is easy, just load Lu Bu and you can soso just one hit everything that stands in your way :p

For martial artist.

Press Square 5 times and then Triangle once so he does a combo. Make sure this only hits 1 officer and not 2 at the same time. And check that the combo says 8 or a higher number.

Do this to 5 officers in a row, without killing any without the combo.

got the speed run. I think the hit with the ladies glitched on me. Anyway around this?

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------



So I can only kill 5 officers without killing any other people?

You can kill normal soldiers/villagers but not officers :p

A hit with the ladies: Just pick one lady as your team member and win battles until the town goes friendly.

Sorry for the delay. I've updated the first post with more saves to speed up the trophy acquisition process. Will be updating with a couple more saves in a bit.

epic post

Finished updating. The first post should contain all saves necessary for platinum. The only things you have to personally go through are the four challenges, everything else has been made as easy as possible.

Thank you SO much for these! Hopefully, I can return the favour in the near future (working on WKC II)!
