How to unlock the Completist achievement in Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands - Definitive Guide
It might be a little time consuming and repetitive, but it's an easy way to do it, especially since by the time you beat the game, you should have no problems with the eight enemy waves.
I recommend just starting a new game, the upgrades are saved to your profile, not your story progression. So no need to repeat the Enemy Tides mode as you will get about 4-6 upgrades before reaching Ratash anyway
This is more of a follow on from the ‘Elemental Control’ trophy, but this time you will need to upgrade all of your powers and any other abilities in the upgrade menu. You won’t get this through playing the main story so you will need to do something extra. After the main story is complete go to the main menu and go down to ‘Enemy Tides Challenge’, this is a challenge where you need to battle 8 waves of enemies, please see the ‘Prince Of Tides’ trophy above for a lot more information.
I have listed below all of the abilities that can be purchased. I have listed them from left to right as they are shown in the upgrade Menu:
Aerial Boost – Increases Damage On Slash Attacks
Battle Fury – This Maximises Your Sword Damage - This helps alot as you get more into the game. The enemies will be tougher and have a bit more health. This helps on all of the boss battles, especially the ones with the two missable trophies.
Battle Rage – This Increases Damage From Basic Sword Attacks - See 'Battle Fury'
Trail Of Flame – This Has 4 Levels Of Upgrades
Stone Armour – This Has 4 Levels Of Upgrades - Helps greatly throughout the game and with the two missable boss trophies
Health Increases – This Has 4 Levels Of Upgrades - As the game goes on the enemies will get tougher and deal more damage. Upgrade this to give you a chance at surviving much longer
Double Energy – Enemies And Vases Give Double Energy Spheres
Double Health – You Will Get Health Spheres Twice As Often
Flow Upgrade – This Increases The Time You Can Freeze Water - If you want to have more chance of getting the 'Stay Dry' trophy then upgrade this.
Time Power – This Increase The Amount Of Time You Can Rewind
Energy Slots – This Has 4 Levels Of Upgrades - This is mostly needed to help use powers more often. Upgrade this to defeat enemies by using your powers, especially useful when going for the two missable boss trophies.
Whirlwind – This Has 4 Levels Of Upgrades
Ice Blast – This Has 4 Levels Of Upgrades
Flight Boost – When You Use The Flight Boost, A Blast Of Energy Will Damage Nearby Enemies
Heavy Kick – When You Kick An Enemy Down, They Will Stay Down For Longer
Power Attack Upgrade – This Increases Damage To Your Power Atacks
TIPS:
If you go to extras in the main menu you can log into a thing called ‘Uplay’. This allows you to buy content using points you have earned through this game and other games, Assassins Creed 2 for example.
Fro the Uplay menu, go left to ‘Win’ & down to ‘Rewards’. From there I recommend you buy two things that will help towards this trophy, they are:
Experience Points Boost – If you buy this then you will get a big boost in xp. You can then use this xp to unlock more upgrades. I managed to buy two more upgrades from doing this, so it cut down on the amount of times I played in the challenge arena.
New Challenge Arena – This is another challenge arena and in my opinion it is much better for gaining xp than the other one. This one is a Time Trial, you have 6 minutes 30 seconds to kill 250 enemies. Because there are more enemies there is more xp to be had!
Advice: when you first launch the toy, and after some playing time you will have the opportunity to improve your abilities, first upgrade “Stone Armor” (this is the green color in the abilities improvement menu). At least before the first fight with Ratash, you should raise the "Stone Armor" to level 4. This will make it easier for you to get two of the most difficult trophies in the game (relative to others, of course) - these are the "Untouchable" and "Invincible" trophies / Invincible."
