How to unlock the Open Air Parking achievement in Darksiders - Definitive Guide

This is an easily missable achievement

As you get to the doorway giant. pick up a car and throw it at the helicopter thats flies over him.

You may have to push R3 to bring up the manual lock on/throw option. As the first place didnt always seem always work/achievement but did work for a friend.

As noted - demon form does not give you the option of picking up things, so if you want the achievement, don't transform.

note : Batman also linked this video in the comment to help out

The lamppost doesn't work, it has to be a vehicle.

lamppost does work but its wierd in the way it works, have watched a friend do this and pop the achievement. This is the reason i put " As the first place didnt always seem always work/achievement but did work for a friend." maybe i should of put the words disclaimer next to it.

the lamp post does not work. i hit the chopper several times with it, to no avail. the achievement description specifically says 'with a vehicle'.

Lampost did not work with several tries. This solution is in error and not clear: "As the first place didnt always seem always work/achievement but did work for a friend." Have no idea what this means.

The achievement popped in this location for a friend, using the lamppost but didnt pop there for another friend. The car seems to work all the time. Either way, first level achievement pop

If you are in chaos form when you enter the area, you can still deactivate it using the same buttons and then perform the rest of the guide. Also, I think mentioning the ability to reload the autosave by pausing then selecting DATA and LOAD would be helpful for those like me with no coordination the first time around laugh

How long does it take to start a new game and get here for 5G?
Too long, not worth it?

NB:...Restarting a new game takes only 2 minutes to do it. Kill the boss using Chaos mode, then press LB+RT to change back, and use free aim. Reload if you miss.

What none of the guides mention is that this is the very first achievement in the game. The first time red spikes pop up behind your character in the entire game, pick up a car immediately and look skyward for your helicopter. You can also reload the last autosave and the helicopter will always appear if you need to try again.

There is also no auto lock on for this helicopter so cn_LT is not going to help you. Grab the car with cn_B, click cn_RS to bring up the manual aim reticule, then toss the car at the chopper with cn_RT. You'll have to lead your target a little.

So I found a way to get it and still use chaos form. When you get to the part with the door guardian you can try to get out of chaos form in time to quickly grab the car that's right next to you, but if you don't make it on time the game auto saves at the point when you first get there. If you reload your game it puts your right there with the second chance and out of chaos form

In the first level, at the early beginning, there will be a small combat tutorial with a creature sitting on a bus. Do NOT transform to your demon form, since you won't be able to pick up cars in this mode.
After the passage is cleared, pick up a car (O) and run to the end of the street. At your right, there will be a giant rock creature. Aim with R3, wait for a helicopter and throw the car with R2.

MISSABLE

This is one of the four missable trophies, but luckily is achieved within the first few minutes of the game, and is therefore easy to get to via new game.

Once you can see the chained golem in a distance simply pick up a car and throw it at a helicopter. If the golem escaped his chains already, you have gone too far.

Here is a video of it being done, although differently than how I described:

The achievement is taken at the very beginning of the game. Let's take a car and as soon as you see, we throw the helicopter at it. Watch the video

At the beginning of the game, when you see a Golem in chains and they show you a video, immediately grab the nearest car , then quickly press the aim :RS: and in the sky, above the Golem’s head, a helicopter will fly - quickly throw car into it.
