One Of The Rarest PlayStation Trophies Ever Was Just Unlocked
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- The PlayStation Vita port of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2+ is widely regarded as the hardest game in the Ninja Gaiden series to fully complete, mainly due to its challenging platinum trophy requirements.
- The most difficult trophy, Dynamic Duo, demands beating all missions on Turbo difficulty with a co-op partner, but unlike other versions, the Vita port only offers an AI-controlled partner instead of online multiplayer.
- A player named Tqvry became the first to legitimately earn the platinum trophy after 20 months of effort, documented in a 10-hour livestream showcasing the grueling challenge.
- The AI partner’s poor performance makes the missions especially frustrating, often resulting in a three-on-one fight against bosses, significantly increasing the difficulty.
- Tqvry’s success was aided by a fortunate glitch where one of the bosses got stuck in terrain, an unintentional bug that helped overcome the otherwise nearly impossible challenge.
