Better Than An Encore?

Better Than An Encore?

Qualify for a Double Encore

22.5%

How to unlock the Better Than An Encore? achievement in Rocksmith - Definitive Guide

This cheevo will be awarded for performing a 2nd encore during a performance.

To qualify for a 2nd encore you must perform fairly well at all the set list songs and the encore.

Now the more you practice the harder the game becomes which means this cheevo gets a little more difficult for those of us that are not that good or just starting out.

Now there is a rather simple way of getting this.

Play normal and get the practice in and dont worry about this cheevo for a while and try to practice and get your skills up.

Now when you decide your skills are up to the challenge start the game again with a new save file either on a diffrent hard drive/ usb memory card or you can do what i did and delete your original save data (only recommended for those like me who wanted to start again from the beginning)

Because you start from a new save file the game will treat you as a complete beginner.

Play the first set of songs in reherse mode and then do the performance.

The songs in the performance should be
(Icant get no)Satisfaction ~ The rolling stones
I got mine ~ The black keys

The encores will be random, i personally had
Smoke on the water ~ Deep purple (1st encore)
Afterlife ~ Avenged sevenfold

Because the game treats you as complete beginner the adaptive difficulty wont keep up with your skills and after the 1st encore you should get the cheevo just before the 2nd encore begins.

Hope this helps and have fun

LOL personally I wouldn't consider it cheating, more like thinking outside the box.
I only discovered this as I hadn't played this game for a few weeks and was so out of practice I deleted my game saves and started from the start again and got the 2nd encore very easily.
Glad I could help you out.

You're "simple way" qualifies as cheating, but after playing this game for over half a year without ever getting a second encore, it came very handy ;-)
Thank you!

Even though I never missed any notes, I had to play another event before I received a double encore song. It looks like there isn't a 100% chance that you'll get a double encore. However, this is a great solution anyway.

Edit: I found some posts on Steam confirming as much. https://steamcommunity.com/app/205190/discussions/0/88296573...

This achievement is based on your performance of the set you're playing and the first encore. I earned it on the first set of the game, after doing okay on the first two songs, but 100% on the first encore.

It could be random, and it just popped up for me early. But as I was playing the game, that is how I assumed I earned it.

First, you must qualify for the first encore. See My 1st Encore to learn how to qualify for an encore. Now, unlike the first encore, the requirement for a double encore is based on percentage of notes hit. You need to hit 90% of the notes in your encore song to qualify for the double encore.

In addition to unlocking this trophy, you will unlock 1 of 6 rare bonus songs for qualifying for a double encore. The final bonus song is the Star Spangled Banner.

Just do well on the Encore, and you should get a second encore to play and this achievement.

You need to play the set of songs of the event well to start the first encore (score 120% of the qualifying points). If the first encore plays very well (more than 90% of the qualifying points), there is a 50% chance that the second encore will be launched. At the beginning of its execution they will give a trophy. Also, completing double encore will open a new song in the menu. Hidden tracks unlocked by completing double encore:

  • Ricochet by Brian Adam McCune
  • Boss by Chris Lee
  • Space Ostrich by Disonaur
  • Jules by Seth Chapla
  • The Star Spangled Banner by Seth Chapla
  • Six AM Salvation by Versus Them

and I wouldn’t make it so difficult to get a trophy with all sorts of mathematical calculations. For example, I received it very quickly, at the third event, without straining at all.

the only secret is that when the first anchor appears, you need to concentrate and play it as carefully as possible. if your fingers have already managed to run along the gyrph, then there will be no problem in getting it.

When playing bass, you can easily take on a second encore. And there is no need to “suffer” with the guitar.

While playing through the main campaign, I was never able to do Double Encore, but while grinding level 11 on bass, I regularly did Double Encore.

I would like to clarify the previous tip. The condition for receiving double encore is different. Not 90% of the qualifying score, but 90% of the notes played correctly in encore. Points are completely unimportant here, moreover, if for getting encore increasing difficulty is your friend (more notes - more points), then for double encore everything is just the opposite.

It is clear that playing a new song for you with 90% of the correct notes can be difficult. Therefore, it’s good to open double encores (and hidden tracks) at the initial stage - songs that are new to you will be played with almost zero difficulty, where you can still get your bearings. As you level up, the game will automatically increase the difficulty of the songs right from the start - even if you're playing it for the first time. You also need to be careful when opening Master Mode on any songs - the game will gladly give them to you as encore, and it’s very, very difficult to play them 90% without seeing the notes.

The mechanism of "farming" double encores is as follows:

  • You are playing event
  • Encore opens - look what the song is, try to play
  • If after encore the score is shown, you immediately reset the console, go and train this song (without saving the progress - that is, restart before the song ends)
  • After you have more or less learned to play, you make 2-3 passes through the song, deliberately missing the notes. The game saves your “progress” and remembers that you don’t know how to play this song
  • You are repeating event. If there are songs in it that you play very well, play them half-heartedly. Your task is 120% of the qualifying score, if it is much higher, the game can increase the encore difficulty
  • You get the same encore if everything is done correctly - at the same difficulty at which you left the song in training. Play without errors, get double encore. You can play it any way you want - all bonuses will open in any case
Once all 6 secret songs have been revealed, you can relax and continue playing for your own pleasure.
