How to unlock the Saving Face achievement in Wing of Darkness - Definitive Guide
This is the final trophy I earned in the game and as such, I wanted to point out some tips as it did not come easy. The premise is simple, just get "shot" by enemies 1,000 times. However even on the hardest difficulty the enemies don't really shoot at you all that much. This trophy will require a grind.
I can't confirm but I believe that when you die you lose all tracked counters. Reason being I tried to AFK this trophy by letting the cannons in Mission 6 repeatedly shoot me down, respawn, repeat, etc. I was AFK for 4 hours and when I came back it was still cycling but no trophy. So here is a solution:
- Optimal place is Mission 6, clear out the initial group of Frauleins and instead of proceeding to the checkpoint hanger find the row of red vents on the ships upper deck and just glide over them. After about 10 seconds you will start taking massive damage as their rockets hit you (I'd recommend playing on the easiest setting to maximize number of hits you can take). Boost out of the line before you die, let your shields recharge and repeat. Took about an hour of grinding for me just circling back and forth over the vents taking hits, however this was after I had already grinded out all other trophies.
Also, the trophy does not pop until you hit a checkpoint, so maybe do this for 5-10 minutes each run through while you are grinding out Fraulein kills to be proficient.

You will get hit during campaign a lot but most certailny not enough times to pop this trophy. The best way to grind this is to start Chapter 4. There's a big group of tanks on the ground, dead ahead of you when you start the mission. Just float right next to them as slowly as possible for about 10 minutes, then finish the mission for the damage to register and the trophy to pop (shooting down Frauleins here will contribute towards Ace of Frauleins as well)
