How to unlock the Da Bomb achievement in WipEout HD - Definitive Guide

This is by far the most infuriating trophy in the DLC Pack. This requires you to destroy all 14 bombs across a single Detonator event (that's one each lap). It's recommended that you build up the EMP as often as you can to max to ensure that you don't miss the bomb when it appears. The bomb is very easy to spot (It's the giant spiked ball; kind of like a Bouncer bullet from Ratchet and Clank)

Now what's so annoying about it is that even though the announcer usually gives you a fair amount of warning as to when and where it appears, sometimes it will seem like it doesn't appear at all. This is because sometimes the bomb will spawn right as you pass it, and sometimes the announcer will not even bother to announce it, usually when it spawns right at the start of the lap which is incredibly annoying.

Do NOT do this on a track with split pathways for obvious reasons. Some people say Syncopia is the best track to do this on, but Mallavol is by far the better option and one a fair amount of naysayers will recommend, as it is both fairly easy to survive and a lot easier to spot the bomb earlier due to its fairly straight track design and in general is a lot fairer with its spawn points, not to mention there being more EMP pads available to fill up your EMP

It's still pretty annoying though, and can still be subject to randomness, so don't get too down if it takes more than a couple of tries to get it. I know it did for me :|

Good luck, and don't get too annoyed like me! :|

I'd say this is the hardest trophy in the Fury DLC, you have to destroy all 14 bombs across the 14 stages in a single detonator event. I extremely recommend you do this only on Syncopia, don't do it on tracks with two different directions like Ubermall, Anulpha Pass and Corridon 12. The reason being the bombs can spawn on those lanes and you may miss them. Another handy tip is to look at the Bomb notification at the top of the screen when the woman says "bomb", that indicator will say if the bomb is to the left, right or directly ahead of you. The method I used was to gather my EMP and then when I heard the word "bomb", unleashed the EMP. Use the cannon on the mines and also the bombs if you don't have an EMP. You know if you've hit a bomb as it makes a bigger explosion and grants you more points. As soon as you complete the detonator event and if you hit all the bombs, the trophy will unlock.

This mode is based on the principle of the Zone mode, only there are only 14 circles. Every lap a large bomb appears. The trophy will be given after the last bomb explodes on the last lap. Always try to have the EMP fully charged and as soon as you hear that there is a bomb ahead, launch it with the button . Do not use multi-path tracks Anulpha Pass (Forward), Ubermall and Corridon 12 to get this trophy, as... the bomb may end up on a neighboring route and you won’t be able to get it.

Oh, I got carried away with this trophy ! The easiest way to complete the trophy is on the Syncopia track, since the bombs are located there more noticeably than on other tracks + there is a wide area for maneuver and a 5-second rest from mines in the place where you go down the narrow fork. In general, on this route it is much easier to reach the 14th section without exploding from mines.
