How to unlock the Viking Inhabitant achievement in How to Train Your Dragon - Definitive Guide
I finished my first playthru in 15 hours 30 minutes and had all the cheevos but two - Glory to Hiccup and Viking Inhabitant. I thought the second playthru would count too.... and finished it in about two hours. So then I left the game running for two and a half hours and the achievement (of course) didn't pop. SO I had to go back to my original game and leave it running for 4 and a half hours. Which is silly. ANd I feel like such a wh*re for actually going after the cheevo. As if the game itself wasn't boring enough.
Or just leave your console on with a wired controller, tape the pad to a direction and leave the character running for 20 hours while you do something else.
First of all, keep in mind that the 20 hours have to be on a single save file. Hence, this trophy is technically the most time consuming trophy in the game. The good news is that you don’t have to do anything to get this trophy besides let your PS3 sit with your save file loaded.
To be safe, have your character standing somewhere in the village. For reference, I was able to get all of the available trophies one can get for a single save file in 12.5 hours. This left just the right amount of time left over to set my PS3 on autopilot and go to bed.
Now, in reference to the estimated time to platinum, I stated 20-25 hours, since the 20 hours played has to be on single save file, and it takes about 2-5 hours to complete the story with the opposite character. (It took me 2.5 hours for my second play-through.)
