How to unlock the Urban Legend achievement in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell HD - Definitive Guide

This is the hardest trophy in the game. All I can say is the second you’ve been spotted by the enemy and the music changes to emphasize this, pause and do Load Game. DON’T do Quick Load as it’s possible you’ll still get killed while it is performing the Quick Load. If you see yourself missing a jump, pause and do Load Game. It’s all about saving often and having the reflexes to pause and load before you die. I managed it thankfully without too much stress in my Normal playthrough when I was going for it because I took it slow and didn’t worry. If you die for any reason, reloading your save will not reverse the death.

A tip from me is that you can backup your save game anytime to a USB stick. Mid-level, end of level, or whenever you wish and if you die then simply delete your save game and copy across your save from the USB. This will erase the information that you died.

Many have claimed this trophy is glitched and for others, it has unlocked normally. To prevent these glitches, follow these rules found from felixfb:

  1. Start a new game (do not delete saves or install the game again.)
  2. Always use normal saving and reloading (No quick saves.)
  3. Never quit to the XMB via the PS Button IN GAME EVER! After each mission is done and it auto saves on the new mission, "quit to main menu" and then, and ONLY then, quit to the XMB to back up save.
  4. When you're about to die, hit pause and reload save (NOT QUICK RELOAD!)
  5. Remember this game saves in the background
  6. Mission Fails Don't Count
  7. Never resume game. Always load last save.

exactly 5 times per game - quicksaves and saves do not help.... INFA is not 100% (daemonikuzzz)

Copying the game profile to a flash drive helps. passed the level - onto the flash drive, killed - left the game, threw off the save file from the flash drive. in principle, there are no special “plugs” anywhere in the game, but sometimes wall mines can “surprise”

Just passed. I died 200 times. I did a quickload and it counted! I don’t know about the others, but they gave me straight away for pharmacies, high difficulty, this is a trophy and kill no more than 3 people per mission. And they gave everything from the 1st playthrough.

Quicksaves help, info 100%. I myself died more than 100 times, but I got the trophy on the first playthrough.

guys, in my opinion, you got carried away with pindostan... the trophy may be glitchy, but I know five people who died (but not until the screen turned red and game over (the life bar simply ended and they made a quicksave) and the trophy was received. By the way, I received the trophy in the same way. Of course, it’s up to everyone how and when to masturbate, so I’m not erasing the hint, but simply giving advice on less tambourines and dancing and more healthy gameplay.
