THE MAN BEHIND BY ONE GAME | Let's Plat Like A Dragon Gaiden - The Man Who Erased His Name - Part 1
We have finished all our Switch games and have plenty of space on the PS4 to go back to obtaining trophies. Been waiting to play this for a while and even though I don't like the combat as much I am looking forward to the side content going forward as the story itself might not be too long.
Trophy/Achievement Timestamps
2:11:33 - Untouchable Trophy/Achievement - During battle you have many options at your disposal in terms of combat to deal with enemies. One of these you will not have access to right away however it will be extremely useful to avoid taking damage from Ultimate attacks as well as dealing a lot of damage to bosses and strong enemies. During fights against bosses or strong enemies you may see them enveloped in a red aura. When this happens they are preparing for an Ultimate attack. In response to this you are able to perform an Ultimate Counter by pressing the R1 button and X/A buttons to evade before the attack hits. You can also spam this to ensure that it works however just before the attack hits or during the attack animation also works. If you have done so correctly you will be able to press the Circle/B button to counter it. You have several opportunities to do this throughout the game. The first time you can do it is in Chapter 1 when you fight Tsuruno in the parking garage. When you have used Ultimate Counter 5 times you will unlock this trophy/achievement.
2:18:15 - Hidden Dragon Trophy/Achievement - This is story-related and unmissable. You will unlock this trophy/achievement when you have completed Chapter 1.
3:06:42 - Like A Spider Trophy/Achievement - One of the new additions to combat in this game is the Agent style which comes with several gadgets that can be used to your advantage. One of these gadgets you begin the game with is the Spider gadget which can be used from your first combat encounter. This will allow you to wrap up enemies in a wire by holding down the Circle/B button and move them in different directions however it is not useful against bosses or strong enemies. Keep in mind that you only need to activate it so it will still count regardless. When you have activated the Spider gadget during battle 50 times you will unlock this trophy/achievement.
4:42:35 - Neighborhood Watch Trophy/Achievement - During Chapter 2 as part of the story you will be introduced to Stroll n' Patrol missions by Akame as a way to earn yen as well as Akame points that can be used for upgrading abilities and purchasing items. You will know that you have found one of these missions when you see an exclamation mark or a white fist icon on the maps. The ones with the fists involve you needing to defeat some enemies whereas the exclamation mark ones will typically require you to complete an errand for a character. These can include giving or retrieving items, wearing outfits, answering questions, taking photos and completing minigame requirements. There are 107 of these in total and when they first become available you have 23 of them at your disposal. You will be required to complete some of these to progress in the story. As you complete more of them and progress through each chapter of the story you will unlock more of them due to the amount of Akame points you have accumulated along the way. The following is a list of all of the Stroll n' Patrol missions and how to complete them:
