How to unlock the The Up And Up achievement in L.A. Noire - Definitive Guide

You can get this achievement and a few others in the first case of the Traffic Desk, called "The Driver's Seat". I'll list the following clues and interview responses required to get the five star rating below.

Note that you'll be penalised if you deal substantial damages to your car, the city (lamp posts, etc.), or run over a civilian. Racking up large amount of damages will reduce your rating. To ensure that you get a five star rating while doing the below steps, make sure to either drive very safely, or simply hold cn_Y beside your car (with a destination already selected) to get your partner to drive (fast travel).

The only advice I'd add to this is that if you cause damage to your vehicle, hit pedestrians or cause "city damage" (e.g, hit a light post), it knocks your rating down and you won't get five stars, even with a perfect case.

There's quite some leeway. I hit several lamp posts and still got it. I'll add it in though.

Solution is great, but it's linking to the xbox 360 achievements, rather than the xbox one versions, which is making the achievements look earned/unearned incorrectly.

Street Crimes: None

Again, there are loads of opportunities to gain this but the earliest is on the case 'The Drivers Seat'. Please refer to "Shamus To The Stars" for more details on how to get 5 stars in a case.

There are 3 factors that contribute to receiving a 5 star rating on a case. There are as follows:

  • Vehicle Damage (any damage that you cause on vehicles you drive and hit)
  • City Damage (any damage on poles, fences, benches, gas stations, etc; basically none vehicle damage/civilian injuries)
  • Injuries (any damage caused on civilians)

To ensure a 5 star rating make your partner drive you to every location and follow the cases guide for the rest. This will ensure a 100% 5 star rating guaranteed. Please note that if your partner drives this will disable getting the Miles On The Clock trophy (drive 194.7 miles).

To get 5 star rating you must collect all/majority of the clues, guess all/majority of the questions correct (True, Doubt or Lie) during the interrogation and not hurt any pedestrians during the case. By using an Intuition point you can remove a wrong question during the interrogation or ask the community in social club. Intuition points also help highlight evidence in a crime scene but keep in mind that you have a limited amount of Intuition points.

In a crime scene when near clues your controller will vibrate if enabled and you will hear chime sounds, which will indicate that there is a clue nearby. Press to view the clue and turn left and right to see it from a different angle. You can also further investigate clues by pressing button again. When all clues have been discovered the music will fade and you can also look at your notebook to see if the location objective is crossed off, which means you have found all clues. At the end of your case you will have a case overview that will show you what you missed under case notes (if something missed; clues or questions). As you rank up it will be easier to find clues. Detected clues are highlighted on the map.

Please Note: You can get 5 stars without getting all the clues but you must have minimal damage/injuries and not miss any questions and vice versa. If you made a mistake on questioning then you must have all clues and minimal to no damage/injuries. One example is I have completed a case with all clues found and questions correct but have had about $1340 in vehicle damage and about $400 in city damage and did NOT get a 5 star rating. There is a limit to all 3 categories before falling from 5 to 4 star rating. Please use this thread to get this trophy: Complete Cases Guide (Clues & Interviews) + DLC Cases

If you don't reach five stars, at the end of the case they usually write - what we did wrong. We remember and go through it again. Below (see Interrogation with bias) I wrote how to pass the first case in the transport department with five stars.

The rating is issued after the final investigation of the case, it depends on the amount of evidence collected, the correct reactions during interrogation and the accusation of more or less the right suspect (if you need to choose). The rating is also negatively affected by the damage you cause to your car, city property and pedestrians. A couple of wrecked cars won't do anything, but it's better not to get carried away with it.


This trophy can be obtained in the first case of the traffic department The Driver's Seat , as well as with it The Third Degree trophy for correct reactions in each interrogation and Golden Boy , having found all the evidence in the case.
