(Missable) This is by far the most challenging trophy in the game and earning it will require you to perform most of the other trophies actions within a single playthrough. The Hyper Spray is found in the camper on Saul Street and actually changes color based on your most recent game clear results. To have it turn Green you will need to clear the game with a 10 Big Star result. The Hyper Spray is also one of the items you will need to collect to earn the proper rating. Once you've done that, save your data, start a new game and acquire the Hyper Spray from the Camper on Saul Street in South Vale: East.
To earn a 10 Big Star rating you will have to perform multiple actions in the game, many of which aren't so bad by themselves but can be difficult while attempting everything else. To get the rating you will need to;
- Beat the game on Action Level Hard.
- Beat the game on Riddle Level Hard.
- Have cleared the game with every ending. You can be on your final ending while attempting this. Your ending result should read 4/4(+2)
- Beat the game while saving no more than 2 times. (Playing on the Edge)
- Beat the game in under 3 hours. (Warp Speed)
- Beat the game while collecting 150 items and all 8 special items.The Special Items are;
- Blue Gem (We Are Not Alone)
Chainsaw (Overkill)
Hyper Spray
White Chrism (Fountain of Youth)
Dog Key (Man's Best Friend)
Book of Lost Memories (Not so Lost Memories)
Obsidian Goblet (Unholy Grail)
Book of Crimson Ceremony (Light Reading)
- Blue Gem (We Are Not Alone)
- Beat the game and defeat 75 enemies by shooting. (Keep Your Distance)
- Beat the game and defeat 75 enemies by fighting. (Melee Master)
- Beat the game while clearing the Boat Stage in under 80 seconds. (Don't Keep Her Waiting)
- Beat the game while taking less than 500 damage points. (Hard to Hit)
- Do not use either special weapon; Chainsaw or Hyper Spray.
Every graded statistic should be displayed in yellow to show you've earned maximum points in that area. Below is what your result screen should look like.

Unless you missed out on one of the particular trophies earlier, there is no way to keep track of your statistics as you play through the game. You will have to use your own way to keep track of your kills, your time for crossing the lake and how much damage you've taken. This is no small order but if you can pull this off, you will have definitely earned the platinum.

I will add that the most difficult thing in completing 10 stars is meeting the damage limit. If it seems to you that “just think, I hit you a couple of times, I’ll still get it” - most likely you won’t get it)
Also, if possible, before this walkthrough, try not to take trophies for killing 75 enemies in hand-to-hand combat and with weapons, as well as for swimming in a boat. This will greatly help as a kind of checks, so that later you don’t have to sit with a piece of paper and a stopwatch.

Anyone who is very interested in how to kick and shoot so many enemies in the game for 10 stars, then I’ll tell you that before leaving the hospital, if you kill everyone and everything and finish off with your foot, then there will be exactly 75, plus or minus a couple (go into unnecessary hospital rooms and apartments are not needed). The rest will end up in prison and the labyrinth anyway. On the night streets of SH, if you explore every street, reach dead ends and back to the right path, then closer to the historical community you will shoot 75 with a shotgun. Carefully examine the streets for shotgun cartridges, nurses die from 4-6, or even 7 shots on hard, cartridges are very important, even with a x3 multiplier. For me, this is the most difficult step for 10 stars. Damage is easy to control with first aid kits. If you have already eaten them for 400 points, then you will have to play the ending in perfect, which is much easier, because after 2 saves there are 25-30 minutes of play left until the end of the game. This is much easier to train than constantly replaying past places and farming dull kills. I advise you to make saves before escaping, yes, yes, this is where inexperienced people will definitely die, or rather Maria will die while escaping from the PX, so make a save here, half the game has already been completed and 75 enemies have been killed in hand-to-hand combat, so as not to think about this part of the game anymore , and before the Father. These are the optimal places for a player who has not played CX2 before. With the boat, everything is simple, don’t count the number of times you scroll the stick, turn the left stick counterclockwise very quickly until James makes 3 strokes, then without stopping the left stick, start synchronously turning the right stick clockwise at the same speed. Completed 1 time in 1 minute 8 seconds. In front of the boat, turn on running in reverse in the options. It was very interesting to play at such a rank. So I recommend it to everyone.
The damage is not as bad as it seems. I took damage from the first monsters 4-5 times, from nurses 5 times, Eddie was shot 1 time and bitten twice by daddy in the hotel (shame) - a total of 403 damage. I repeat, everything is controlled by medications. You can easily reach save 2 without straining yourself with 200-300 damage. You even have to yawn as much as I do on the streets at night. And the last part of the game is easy to complete almost perfectly. Having practiced in advance. An hour of training was enough for me, and while you are training, you can make a save on the pier in a separate slot and then go from there to the UFO ending, having first used the stone in the garden in the hospital.

You know, I liked the passage for 10 stars. Here you really need to act very quickly, but carefully. Think through and practice all your actions.
And I would like to tell you about some points.
You do everything according to the guidebook.
But pay attention to the 4th walkthrough (where you should get the rebirth ending), for this walkthrough you should also get the UFO ending. Of course, you can get it on the 5th playthrough, but you’ll already have enough trouble on this playthrough. In order not to be distracted, I advise you to get this ending during the 4th playthrough. (Just before going to room 312, save in a separate slot and you will get both endings).
And now the 5th passage for 10 stars.
Pick up all the special items; from previous playthroughs you should already know where they are. You should also take the dog key .
Collecting items: you don’t have to worry either, collect everything you see (the main criterion here is collecting all the special items, collecting them you won’t have any problems).
Time: Nothing complicated either. The main thing is not to be stupid, do everything quickly, but carefully. I only had difficulty in the Apartments, I got a little lost there. If anything, watch SpeedRun.
Kills: Until you take the gun, do not touch anyone and avoid damage. And then kill everyone you see. (They shot, ran up, kicked). And so on until leaving the hospital. At this point, start using firearms (a shotgun will help you). Keep your distance. Approach at a step distance, shoot, when the enemy falls to the ground, approach closely and shoot, then move away 1-2 steps and wait for the enemy to stand up and shoot again. 3 shots are enough to take out the enemy. There are, of course, exceptions, but this is not a problem (the main thing is to be at a distance).
Write down all your kills in a notebook (paper or electronic, whichever is more convenient for you). You may say: Why do I need this because the trophy will appear on its own? This is true, but what if you die? And that you will type everything from scratch and will have to count. It's better to think about this in advance.
I did this: I took 5 refills from gel pens and as soon as I killed a mob, I debugged 1 refill to the side and as soon as I got 5 kills I wrote it down in a notebook (you can say that I didn’t lose the dynamics of the battle this way).
Damage: Just do everything carefully and try to stay at a distance. In battles with bosses, run across in time (it’s better not to take an extra shot than to snatch the lyule). The most difficult thing awaits you at the end, I mean the battle with Abstract Dad and Eddie, here without training and timely saving you risk taking a very decent amount of damage. My daddy bit me 2 times and in the final damage I had 760, I specifically went through this part without damage and got a result of 489, not bad right? 271 in just two kisses (in my opinion, in this battle he tries to kiss).
Saves: Here we come to the most interesting moment in the game. The save point you choose can either make your life easier or make it very difficult.
Many people write that it is better to make 1 save before escaping from the Pyramid, I personally do not recommend it. Of course, you can die here, but this is if you don’t know how to behave in this situation.
An illustrative example (Rewind to 04:43)
Still, I advise you to make 1 save before the battle with the abstract dad, and train, train, and train some more. The main thing is to get through this moment without damage. You can do it as Agro wrote, but it didn’t work for me, I still managed to snatch it once. And then the Pyramid Knife came to the rescue (you will find it in the labyrinth).
Tactics for living with Abstract Dad and Eddie
After the battle with Eddie, make a 2nd save on the pier (in front of the boat) and train again, train, and train again.
After the video, turn the left stick about 7 times and immediately start rowing forward. If you calculate everything correctly, you will either not deviate from the star at all, or just a little bit (but it’s not difficult to align yourself here).
Well, that’s almost the end, but there will be another difficult moment, when you take the key to room 204 and head there, there will be 2 dads (there will also be dads on the first floor, but you can run through them there heading to the room with the music box) , everything is complicated by the loading screen (when you enter you already hear sounds and footsteps, but your screen is still black) it takes 1-2 seconds, but they are also incredibly valuable. At this point, I got stuck many times, so I saved to slot 3 beforehand and practiced. Then you can pass everything on the first try. And I succeeded.
In difficult moments, you can save as many times as you like (for training), but you must remember where your main saves were made.
My saves:
1) Before escaping from the Pyramid (my mistake)
2) Before the battle with the Abstract Pope
3) I replayed from the first save to the boat (And during the night farming they hit me once and Eddie only managed to hit him once with his fist, and everything else was without damage).
