How to unlock the Giant pile of Gold achievement in Naughty Bear - Definitive Guide
Few things to point out :
The achievments ARE still a bit glitchy. You need to earn a GOLD medal. Unlike the original, platinums will not count. So if you go above gold and hit a platinum, you will need to redo it and earn gold.
I do want to make one thing very clear. On the Killer challenge, and the Insanity challenge the hardest thing about getting golds here, is NOT getting platinum medals as you are forced to deal with EVERY bear on the level. You can't just leave when you get gold. I hit gold on the killer challenge with 12 bears still to go, and then hit platinum without even trying.
Episode 9 is nothing like episode 10 in terms of difficulty. Where as Episode 10 is like Episode 7, Episode 9 is like Episode 1.
Anyway, here are the "approximate" scores for Golds on episode 9.
Main episode - 3,000,000
Killer challenge - 2,750,000
Speed Run challenge - 1,950,000
Insanity challenge - 2,475,000
Top Hat challenge - 3,850,000
All scores confirmed by myself.
To get the gold medals on these levels is quite easy. Just remember to use the multiplier freezers when you are at 100x and try to do as many scares / kills in front of a group of bears. Also sabotage as many items as possible. Once all the bears are dead smash everything and get the collectables.
**You can get platinum medals they are better than gold and count towards the achievement.
If once you have got all the gold medals your achievement does not pop, do not worry. It is a pain to sort but can be done. First delete all of the DLC for Naughty Bear. Now clear your system cache.
**To clear your cache go to System settings > Memory. With your hard drive highlighted press Y. This will bring up a menu and select clear system cache.
Now that is clear re-download the DLC but only download chapter 9. Once that is done load up your game, all of your scores and cups should still be there. Select any of chapter 9's levels and play through it. Play through how ever you want. As soon as you finish it with any cup (I did it with a bronze) your achievement will pop.
**If you are checking this because a different achievement glitched in this this DLC, follow the guide right up to the point of replaying a level. Instead all you have to do is fulfill the achievement requirements again (I know its annoying) and they should now pop.
Hope this helps and gets the glitched achievement to pop.
I tried to get as many platinum cups as possible in the dlc because I was hoping the would count towards the achievement in the main game for getting 28 platinum cups, but they don't because that achievement is associated with the original game and not the dlc.
So in short yes. Platinum cups count. I would recommend running straight to the end as soon as you get gold though just because when I was doing this and aiming platinum cups I got greedy with the points and ending dying
WARNING DO NOT MAKE PLATINUM CUP OR YOU'LL GET GLITCH!
NOTE: If Glitch comes with all golds then simply replay any dlc level.. I'm not sure if this works if you're gotten any platinum cups
Just wanted to point out, there is a flaw in the trophy guides for both DLCs.
There was actually significant discussion on this back when the DLC was new.
Each DLC has a trophy for getting Gold Cups in each of the new five challenges. In Episode 9, it's Giant Pile of Gold. In Episode 10, it's Gold Lust. There is a reason that the completion rate for these trophies is so extremely low (Gold Lust has a completion rate of .23%). Now, by the time you get to the DLC, your experience in attempting/achieving Nutter! has certainly ensured that you will get platinum ratings at least half of the time. If you get Platinum in any of the five challenges, you are screwed out of these trophies. You MUST get exactly GOLD in each of the five challenges - if you do too well and get a single platinum, you are boned. Since you can't downgrade your cup color (once a platinum, always a platinum), your only recourse is to completely delete your save file. And if the online ranking recorded your platinum ranking, it is undeletable. It is dangerously easy to lock yourself out of these trophies.

This trophy unlocks when you beat the gold scores and finish the missions. Here are a few tips for this trophy:
- Use the free DLC Episode 8 Costumes (these are the best), sabotage everything first then wait until they try fix them - now scare them. Repeat in every challenge until you have gold or platinum.
- Do Objective kills. Scare bears so they kill themselves. See video guide for more details.
- Remember you only need gold medals... platinum is optional for these challenges!
(POSSIBLE GLITCH) If this glitches when you have gold on all 5 challenges, then play the Episode 9 main levels again, get any medal and this trophy should unlock.
Episode 9: - gold - 2,800,000 points
Episode 9-1 Killer: - gold - 2,900,000 points
Episode 9-2 Speedrun: - gold - 2,000,000 points
Episode 9-3 Insanity: - gold - 2,477,000 points
Episode 9-4 Top Hat Challenge: - gold - 3,853,305 points
Insanity gold medal video guide:
If you have completed the base games challenges, you will notice two things. They are pretty much identical to the base game, and two, the score requirements make these DLC challenges easier.
Please note, that for this achievement, Platinum Cups do NOT stack. If you earn a platinum, you will have to redo the challenge and get gold. This sometimes is harder than it sounds, as good players get platinum without trying on the Killer and Insanity challenges as you are forced to deal with every bear regardless to finish the challenge.
I'd suggest using Master Miyagi or the Naughticorn as your character.
The scores that are required are approximately :
Main episode - 3,000,000
Killer challenge - 2,750,000
Speed Run challenge - 1,950,000
Insanity challenge - 2,475,000
Top Hat challenge - 3,850,000
As mentioned before, for the Killer and Insanity challenge, you want to make mistakes. If you do a flawless run, you'll end up with Platinum which will not help you for the achievement. Drop your combo sometimes, or get spotted/hit a bit.
