de Blob 2

I would recommend doing this after you have completed the game the first time. Just run through it without doing any upgrades first, to save having to do a second playthrough. See “Keepin’ it real” for more information. Once you have that trophy out of the way, you can buy the upgrades to help out while you are replaying the levels picking up anything you may have missed or skipped.

You can purchase upgrades with the lightbulbs you collect throughout the game. If you are playing on Normal, you will need EVERY lightbulb in the game to accomplish this and there are 480 total. The upgrade store can be found on the main menu under “Upgrades” and in the game itself. The stores found in the levels are denoted by a blue question mark.

Here are a list of upgrades and their cost:

• Increase Blob’s starting lives to 2 – 5 bulbs
• Increase Blob’s starting lives to 3 – 15 bulbs
• Increase Blob’s starting lives to 4 – 30 bulbs
• Increase Blob’s starting lives to 5 – 50 bulbs
• Increase maximum size to 120 – 10 bulbs
• Increase maximum size to 140 – 20 bulbs
• Increase maximum size to 160 – 30 bulbs
• Increase maximum size to 180 – 40 bulbs
• Increase maximum size to 200 – 50 bulbs
• Increase Player 2’s ammo to 100 – 5 bulbs
• Increase Player 2’s ammo to 150 – 10 bulbs
• Increase Player 2’s ammo to 200 – 25 bulbs
• Increase maximum armor to 2 – 10 bulbs
• Increase maximum armor to 3 – 20 bulbs
• Increase maximum armor to 4 – 30 bulbs
• Increase maximum armor to 5 – 40 bulbs
• Damage charge cost to 60 – 10 bulbs
• Damage charge cost to 40 – 30 bulbs
• Damage charge cost to 20 – 50 bulbs

If you play the game on Easy, your reserves of lives will be completely maxed out from the start. That means you will not need to spend any lightbulbs in that category. So to get this trophy on Easy, you only need 380 bulbs instead of ALL of them. That allows you to skip 100 bulbs if you wish. You will still need all 480 for "Totally Inspired" though.
