How to unlock the Talon-t-ed achievement in Blur - Definitive Guide

Top tip for the 'execute 4 clean triple nitros.

I done this on the Midas Touch Event 5 which is a checkpoint race. Grab 3 nitros ASAP and once on a nice straight part of the track, pull your leftstick back and hit the A button one after the other. Yes your car does airbrake but as long as you don't hit anything after the 3rd nitro as there is a bit of boost, you will get one of those targets. I managed to get all 4 done in this one event.

To get this you need to beat talon in his one on one. First you need to unlock his races by getting 140 lights. Second you need to meet his career demands, drift 1500 meters, destroy 4 power ups, execute 4 clean triple nitros, earn 25 lights. Drifting 1500 meters will come by doing all 6 events, if it doesn't go to any of the events and just keep drifint around corners (you have to finish in top 3 for it to count so i would say do it in a checkpoint race and just slide around half the corners) Destroying 4 power ups will come in the race events easily, barge shunts or shield through shunts or mines. To execute 4 clean triple nitros can be difficult, go to SanFran Russian Hill and get 3 nitros, when you go around the last corner and can see the finish line, straighten your car out and fire all 3 nitros as fast as possible, do this 4 times. To earn 25 lights come in first in 5 events.

To beat talon either wreck him or beat him to the finish, in this case its almost easier to beat him to the finish, but one way is to put the mod that gives your shunts extra power on, gather 3 up and fire all 3, sometimes he will not wreck, if he doesn't try to get another one quick or a bolt and fire it into him and then he should. If he still doesn't you should be able to pass him easily and win. Collect shields to protect yourself from shunts and shocks.

Talon has a Mod called: Armor Plating- Reduces the Damage sustained from heavy Power-ups. But really this is an easy Achievement to get just use the Corvette ZR1, since you are limited to that.

Note: Remember to cut corners close and don't forget to use all reverse power ups, by using LS(Left-Stick0 and Using Nitro around those hard corners and line yourself up and your off!

You meat Talon in the Midas Touch event series.
To unlock his One-on-One, complete the following demands:

Drift a total of 1,500 meters
You must drift a total of 1,500 meters cumulatively. Choose a car that is made for drifting and stay behind the pack. Drifting is done by making the back end of your car come out farther(at a angle/sideways) then it needs to be but being in control of the car in the turn. Come into a corner at a higher speed and hit the which is the handbrake, this will cause your cars back end to come out and start a drift.

Destroy 4 Power-ups
You destroy Power-ups by using a Power-up that counter acts it. The easiest Power-ups to destroy that are coming at you is the Shunt Power-up. Your screen will start flashing red at the bottom that a shunt is coming at you. When the shunt is about to hit you or is directly behind your car, shoot a offensive Power-up behind you to destroy the attack. These include Mines, Reverse Shunts, Reverse Bolts, and Barges. To shoot a power up behind you, press down on the and shoot with the .

Execute 4 clean, triple Nitros
To do this you have to use 3 Nitros consecutively one after another without a pause. The easiest place to do these are on the 5th event - "Barcelona Gracia." You can gather 3 Nitros at the beginning of the lap fairly easily. As soon as you take the turn into the very long straight away, mash the until you have used all three of your Nitro Power-ups while keeping in a straight line and not hitting a wall. Do this 4 times total and this will be checked off. Once you complete this you can just quit the race.

Earn 25 Lights
You earn Lights by completing races and their secondary objectives. Coming in 1st place on a race earns you 5 Base Lights in that race(circle with b in it). Completing Fan Targets and Fan Runs count as lights, if you come in first place on all races that will give you a total of 30 lights in this event, so reaching 25 shouldn't be to much of a hassle.

Talon drives a Corvette ZR1, one of the fastest cars in the game. The best way to beat this One-on-One is by just completing the two laps. He will only attack if you are behind him. Get in front of him and just keep picking up Nitro Power-ups, he won't be able to keep up to your speed and you will leave him in your dust. If you do pick up Power-ups while you are ahead, shoot them behind you on long straights and you may be able to get a hit on him. This will slow him down further, helping you beat this easy, but brutally fast One-on-One.
