Super Stardust - Late Boomer Trophy Help

For anyone who has been trying in vain to do this, I finally finished it tonight using a combination of techniques found in various places online. Here is what worked for me :

1. if at all possible, wait for two ships to be on the screen and try to explode both with one bomb, effectively giving you three more bombs than you previously had.

2. follow ships for as long as possible and try to trigger bombs when there are as many obstacles on screen as possible. this helps clear the screen and give you more wiggle room.

3. when the red heat-seaking mines appear on screen, try to get a ship between you and the mines. sometimes they will blow up the ship and you will get two bombs without using any of your own.

4. when things get hairy and there seems to be nowhere for you to maneuver, pause the game, prepare a strategy, unpause the game and move out of harms way and pause it again... keep repeating till you're in the clear. i did this for a good five minutes after reaching 14 bombs. i would have most certainly died had i not used the pause-plan-move-pause technique.

hope this helps!!

yeah, the nuke one is tuff too. the only tips i have for that are to use boost a lot, especially to blow up nukes, and to persevere through trial and error. good luck!

Dang, I hadn't thought about the pause thing. The nuke one I had trouble with too but then one time I got it no problem and actually blew up like 13 nukes. A tip for that I would say is to find them as quick as possible because it makes you have to play less for ten to show up.Zidaneski

haha... after i got 10 nukes i just died on purpose. i was so sick of doing endless.

to have weapons boost all you have to do is be near the other player. the little glowing beam that connects the two ships signifies weapons boost. the best strategy is to not shoot anything at all. just stay close to each other while dodging the asteroids. make sure you're doing it on segomo too. it's a really easy gold trophy. i did it by myself with two controllers.

Ohhhh, sweet that does sound easy I'll gonna go for it today then. And then the only trophy I wouldn't have is the 15 token thing in a single boost any tips for that?

yeah. sometimes when you're playing there are asteroids that fall as a count down. the first one falls with the number 10 (or 15 can't remember for sure). after you blow it up the next one falls with the number 9 (or 14). keep blowing these asteroids up as they fall all the way down to number one. if you blow up all of them a "bonus" asteroid will fall. it's be made up of all green asteroids. don't shoot this asteroid. line up and boost through it. if you hit it straight on you'll get the 15 tokens in one boost.

congrats!

Still can't seem to get the co-op one. the trophie says split screen but mine just does co-op on one screen. Is there something I'm missing cause I swear I had both ships as close could be for like five minutes on Segomo.Zidaneski

yeah, that means you haven't downloaded the multi-player add-on. it was just released a couple days back. it'll cost you five bucks.
