Note: Leo Caruso is the only one who can do this trophy

Chapter Select: Vengeance - Lift Off
Trophy unlocks for both players? Yes

At the very start of the chapter, you'll be in the Lift Off section and will need to make a choice of either Vincent’s way to parachute or Leo's way to land the plane. Either choice is fine. Your new objectives will be the following:

  • Turn off fuel flow
  • Get Emily's logbook
  • Open hanger doors


Ignore the above objectives and do the all the trophy requirements around the hanger before proceeding with the story.

This is the final trophy that you can unlock in the game if you've been doing them in a single playthrough. Furthermore, only Lee can do this trophy as Vincent is unable to enter the helicopter.

To the right of the Grenade Brothers arcade machine is a small room that you can enter. Go inside this room and enter through the red doors to go outside on the roof. You will find a helicopter on the landing zone that you can interact with. The player controlling Leo needs to open the helicopter doors with . Leo will enter the helicopter and pilot it for a few seconds during a brief cutscene. After the cutscene, Leo will exit the helicopter and the trophy will unlock.

If you opened the hanger doors and then get on the plane so you can take-off, then you've gone too far and will need to use Chapter Select.

This unlocks during the chapter ‘Vengeance: Lift Off’.

After Leo puts the bag on the plane, ignore the objectives and walk towards the back of the hanger and to the right into an office. On the far side of the office is a door which leads outside. Parked out there is a helicopter. As Leo (Vincent cannot trigger this achievement), walk up to the helicopter and enter it. Leo will start pushing buttons and the helicopter will start to lift off, freaking Leo out. When the sequence is over and Leo exits the helicopter, the achievement will unlock.

Note: If you’ve opened the hanger doors before unlocking this, you’ve missed the opportunity and need to restart the chapter. You can also unlock “Break From Reality” in this same scene.

This achievement starts at [03:16:15] in Maka’s video walkthrough.
