As per Lady Evol's solution, you can play the first playthrough w/ a lower/easier difficulties and then choose "Continue" in the main menu. Choose X-treme and go to load the last level "Final Showdown" and simply finish it, all achievement about difficulties will unlocked.

This can makes your skip the 2nd playthrough on X-treme, but I find that there are still some issues about hard to fight with those MRD & the last two boss fight, here's some tips:

1/Before you start load the last level, replay the 1st challenge a few times to gain your X-ability bar full. IMPORTANT: Save your X-ability bar full till the fight w/ the Sentinel.

2/If you find the last level MRD are hard to deal with, try quit & load again. I find that sometimes the Stalker comes out earlier than usual, makes your fight almost cannot be done..

3/The 2nd fight w/ MRDs will have a bunch of alien look-a-like surround you and once you killed one of them the 4 corner will spawn 4 MRD uses projectiles attack. Equip Quicksilver/Northstar's defensive X-Gene, will help a little.

4/THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MY GUIDE HERE. When you engaged the Sentinel, equip all Quicksilver's X-Gene & Suit, simply lose some health till near death, wait till the Sentinel puts 3 energy balls on the ground, use Quicksilver's X-Mode and rush into the energy balls and die. After the loading screen, you will find it Quicksilver's X-Mode still working. It will carry on till the fight w/ Bastion, the final boss.

I got this ,great method~

By MIXHONG on 26 Mar 2012 06:12

Worked perfectly, thanks! I got this with the Emma Frost suit and X-genes equipped, then activated X-power and died from the chest beam attack. Came back with X-power permanently in effect.

By WeisGuy9 on 23 Jun 2012 00:20

Great guide, I beat the level easily on extreme, but quick question; I accidentally started my new game + on New Mutant and changing the difficulty doesnt net the achievement, so if I play through the whole campaign again in New Game + will it give me the option to change the difficulty again? If I have to replay the whole game again I'd rather use my leveled up character than start a new one.

By DarthDawa on 15 Aug 2012 23:18

Sounds like u did not overwrite the 1st save data?
Actually I don't remember how's the step goes, but I did something which makes me though f*cked up my save data and sounds like wt u did.
But I remember I did not play the story twice, just once.
Try load yr 1st save data, then it should be okay to choose continue again.

By Tsukimi on 16 Aug 2012 01:21

I also used Emma Frost for the final trick since after 3 playthroughs , multiple challenges replayed I never got Quicksilvers suit fully found somehow :/

By raidenhardcore on 08 Mar 2013 13:51

SO if I do 2 playthroughs of the game on easy, will new game + show up after my second playthrough? I want to do the last level on xtreme then as right now I don't have the quicksilver full set unlocked so the boss is impossible. thanks.

By Barad 007 on 03 Oct 2013 16:37

Method has been tried. They must have patched it. I can't unlock this achievement.

By ansettt on 04 Oct 2013 21:29

^that is not correct. I unlocked this achievement today using that quicksilver method.

By Kovy88 on 15 Oct 2013 14:58

Yeah, I can't really see this game getting a patch at this late date.

By WeisGuy9 on 15 Oct 2013 23:08

Top Solution! MOst frustrating thing was trying to beat Sentinel in Slow mo (I used too used to full speed!), Bastion was an absolute breeze though!

By Ironed Goat on 29 Oct 2013 01:08

This happened to me by mistake and it was the greatest mistake i could have possibly made

By l BlackBrian7 l on 27 Mar 2014 01:55

i know it's an old solution, but it would be great if you add a warning about the possibility to mess up NG+ - i only checked your solution and made a huge mistake... my plan was to complete some challenges, but i picked continue and dashboarded... but i had no idea this would mess up my chance for only one playthrough. *sigh*

By Kugare on 30 Mar 2014 11:41

Nice solution thumbs up the sentinel was a pain but in slow motion it was so easy and bastion was even easier

By disturbedone47 on 21 Oct 2014 05:38

i did the last level in X-treme difficulty. no achievement

By Razor8674 on 16 Jan 2015 11:12

Worked just fine for me. +1 for the OP.

I didn't have Quicksilver's full suit so I went with Juggernaut. Don't know if it did any good for the Sentinel, but it sure didn't for Bastion. Died like 10 times at least. Switched over to Toad's suit and beat it the first time. Toad's toxic DoT worked pretty good.

If you played through this first on an easier mode, you can start a new game+ on Xtreme difficulty, then quit out, load your character, use mission select to choose the last level, and the other difficulties will pop after you finish the final battle. IMPORTANT: You need to start the game on Xtreme difficulty, and leave it there until you get the achievement. Otherwise, this will not work.

Edit- from liiami in the comments below:

"I would like to add once you hit continue, don't back out or dashboard as it will save as your previous difficulty and lose your chance to New Game+."

I just can't beat Bastion lol

By Lil Miss Cherry on 18 Feb 2012 18:19

It's in the solution. It's in the first sentence.

By Lady Evol on 16 Mar 2012 02:01

You had the only good tip for getting this achievement, I would have done it that way, instead of doing it legit after some hair pulling

By Bloodmang0 on 01 Oct 2011 06:34

I've been playing on x-treme from the start and have yet to die. I'm only just met Gambit so it probably gets harder. I think I'll keep going but it I get stuck this should help. Thanks!

By BlackEyedMonkey on 01 Oct 2011 12:15

I can confirm that this is true! I played through on New Mutant difficulty, and when I fully upgraded, I played the last level on Xteme difficulty. When I beat it, both beating the game on Xtreme difficulyt and Xman difficulty achievements popped.

By pTartTX on 01 Oct 2011 20:04

This oddly did not work for me. Though it may have been lost due to me changing the difficulty when I was farming for xp in challenges.

By AWE5OMEPO55UM on 02 Oct 2011 08:08

Yeah you can't change the difficulty at all when you reload a chapter. Just start thr new game plus on xtreme and reload the last level. Thanks a lot

By AWE5OMEPO55UM on 02 Oct 2011 19:40

Yes, possum, you're correct. I'm sorry if it was confusing. I changed it to make it more clear. :D

Monkey, it's more challenging as it goes on, but it's not overly difficult. I used this method just to avoid a 2nd playthrough. ^_^

By Lady Evol on 03 Oct 2011 05:10

I started my new game plus on new mutant by mistake how do you get it so it starts the last level on the hard difficulty?

By Sherman91587 on 16 Oct 2011 15:42

I don't think you can. To the best of my knowledge, you have to start the game and finish the last level on Xtreme difficulty, without changing the difficulty at all in between.

By Lady Evol on 17 Oct 2011 02:37

Not sure why this didn't work for me. I played thru never changing the settings on my first run and started a new game then wuit out. Loaded my save and played the last level and nothing.....guess I will have to play it over again

By acedawg4 on 06 Nov 2011 19:28

I had the same problem. Beat the first game on normal. Started new game plus on extreme, quit out of the first level and loaded and beat the last one. No achievement. I'm not really sure if I want to do this again. I'm really not found of this game.

By boxandthefuzz on 08 Nov 2011 04:42

Nevermind. I got it on the second new game plus attempt. Don't know what I did the first time.

By boxandthefuzz on 08 Nov 2011 05:08

I've done this 5 times and didn't get it. Guess I have to play it all the way through.

By DcupsOfJustice on 07 Dec 2011 05:41

It's not a big deal anyway, it's not a difficult game at all. Would have liked to finish it the quick way.

By DcupsOfJustice on 07 Dec 2011 21:35

The glitch does work. I did not get the achievement for playing through the game on x-treme for whatever reason, so I tried the glitch and it worked fine.

By DcupsOfJustice on 07 Dec 2011 22:04

Must it be "continue" or "new game"? tried with continue and didnt got the achievements.

By GD Great Healer on 16 Dec 2011 03:32

Not sure about other regions, but for the USA version you have to pick continue not new game. I did new game and now have to play the whole game over again. Also may want to note what it shows above about pick xtreme and don't change anything or the glitch doesn't work.

By Nuckinn on 20 Dec 2011 00:51

Sorry to sound thick, but what and where is the "New game+" option?
I have played it through on easy, and now only have these options....
I have....
1.New Game
2.Continue
3.Load Game
4.Options
Been through them all, and cant find "New Game+"

By KICKB0X on 21 Dec 2011 17:10

After you beat the game, choose continue, and it should tell you about ng+. Just make sure you choose the hardest difficulty, and don't change it!

By Lady Evol on 21 Dec 2011 17:31

I was wondering I just picked this game up today apart of a gamestop special buy the new spiderman get x-men destiny for free any my question is after I beat this game can I go back and pick up where I left off with in new game+ like collectables, kills all that fun stuff and do you keep what your skills level are just in case I'm not fully leveled up by the end of the game or does everything get reset.

By LPSTREETS0LDIER on 17 Jan 2012 03:11

Worked like a charm. +1 for this solution

By DrSchlepenstein on 11 Feb 2012 22:01

Well. the Sentinel is still hard to beat on X-theme..

By Tsukimi on 24 Mar 2012 00:37

^ I second that. Same thing happened to me.

By JasonXmurder on 11 Jun 2012 20:17

^ indeed now i got to beat the game again :( but on the other side now i can test the other powers :p

By Amatorskii on 01 Jul 2012 20:29

Can anybody confirm if you do newgame+ on easy will it give you the option to new game+ again so you can do the glitch?

By Sinacide IV on 07 Dec 2012 23:17

damn just read this and already hit continue to replay missions, now I have to do a full playthrough to get another new game+ option?? this just sucks balls

By raidenhardcore on 07 Mar 2013 09:29

^ same here it seems

By Barad 007 on 03 Oct 2013 16:12

So if I do 2 playthroughs of the game on easy, will new game + show up after my second playthrough? I want to do the last level on xtreme then as right now I don't have the quicksilver full set unlocked so the boss is impossible. thanks.

By Barad 007 on 03 Oct 2013 17:31

I'm not sure why this wouldn't work for anyone... I did it for myself and my husband without any difficulty. Keep in mind you can NOT change the difficulty from when you start the game to when you finish it if you want the achievement. If you don't start it on xtreme difficulty, or you change it in the middle then change it back, you have to beat the game again, and try again with a NEW new game + file.

By Lady Evol on 07 Dec 2011 17:14

"If you played through this first on an easier mode, you can start a new game+ on Xtreme difficulty..."

People just aren't reading. :(

By Lady Evol on 16 Mar 2012 02:03

I would like to add once you hit continue, don't back out or dashboard as it will save as your previous difficulty and lose your chance to New Game+.
I found this out the hard way, luckily it only took about 1.5 hours to recomplete on easy, skipping all challenges etc

found a easy glitch, like others beat on easy go to xtreme, load the last level, equipt all quicksilver and right before you die activate your x mode (lb buttion) and when you die you will have a unlimited enemy slowmotion and the end is so easy

This works perfectly and is the easiest method by far

By SAS eddriver19 on 04 May 2012 16:21

So is the ENTIRE REMAINDER of the level, after you die and then continue, played out in slow motion?

If it is, I may just reach through the Internet and kiss you <3

By m0nk3yboy on 14 May 2012 14:56

dont kiss but yeah the end stays slow motion, made it so much easier lol,

By derekwst3 on 18 May 2012 20:26

This also works for Emma Frost.

By patchychris on 21 May 2012 09:01

yeah you can use any of the xmodes, but personally i think quicksilvers was the easiest

By derekwst3 on 21 May 2012 17:13

Can never get the 4 m power bars needed to enable x mode full before the stalker appears and wipes me out!

By SPOOKYVILLE on 23 Jun 2012 13:07

Worked like a charm can't believe I got this one done thanks.

By raidenhardcore on 08 Mar 2013 13:35

By Barad 007 on 03 Oct 2013 17:31

Yes it will show up after your second playthrough, I screwed up and had to play through twice and I have NG+ just haven't beat the boss yet.

By CHERRY CHEERIOS on 16 Dec 2013 18:44

I'm still missing Quicksilver's Offensive X-gene. Any tips?

By sonicfreak1986 on 01 May 2015 00:07

By derekwst3 on 01 May 2015 01:10

brilliant thank you

By cooper101183 on 07 May 2015 02:29

Fantastic tip. I played thru to the sentinel using wolverines suit & abilities, so I could get the healing factor and extra damage. I then swapped to quicksilvers suit and abilities and activated x mode, I died like guide says and when the checkpoint restarted everything was in slow motion and I had wolverines suit on with healing ability.

In order to obtain this achievement, you must complete the final level on X-Treme difficulty. The level must START on this difficulty in order for the achievement to unlock - you cannot change it at the end of the boss fight.

To beat the Boss on X-Treme, you must attack during the openings in his pattern. Upon landing, he will use these attacks, in this order (for the first two downs): Psylocke, Avalanche, Summon Enemies.

Use the time while he's flying around to defeat the regular enemies. They will be a source of health and refill your M Meter. Once he gets a new shield, sprint toward him then dash to the sides - he will use Avalanche. On the third shield he takes, he'll use Magma, which makes him stronger and more aggressive. Just be cautious and don't get greedy and you'll win.

Achievement should pop when the Sentinel's eyes turn off.

i found that the x-gene assists (all of mine were maxed out and fully leveled up) that worked best for me against bastian were the quicksilver offense (during the first two phases), cyclopse utility, colossis defense, and i dont know if the suits really help when you arent matching them; but i wore wolverine's just in case. i switched my offense to iceman during the third phase, when bastian was in his magma state. that seemed to deal a lot of damage to bastian in a hurry.

Simply complete the game on X-treme difficulty. X-treme difficulty is available from the start and finishing the game on X-treme difficulty will unlock all other difficulty related trophies. On X-treme mode, enemies will inflict slightly more damage but they take the same amount of damage to defeat as other lower difficulties. The only real trouble that you’ll face is the boss fights especially if you don't know their attack patterns when you first face them. The difficulty is also somewhat affected by your mutant's Core Iconic Power. Which power you've chosen during the Rally Attack will have an effect on your gameplay. If you're a melee fighter type mutant you might want to use Defensive X-genes that either increases health/armor (Colossus/Juggernaut) or a static dodging gene that's able to stun or knock-back enemies whenever you dodge (Surge/Juggernaut). If you're a range fighter type mutant you might want to use Utility X-Genes that either increase your M-Power Meter or a gene that will quickly help refill your M-Power Meter during combat (Cyclops/Emma Frost). Last of all, regardless of which type of Core Iconic Power that affected your mutant’s abilities, you'll want to use Offensive X-Genes that deals damage overtime or area damage (Iceman/Surge/Toad/Wolverine).

Some Tips:

Destroy power up crates to replenish your Health and M-Power meter
Improve your equipped X-Genes by spending XP
Equipping a completed X-Gene set and suit set will give you a bonus boost to statics by unleashing X-Mode
Find X-Genes to gain an advantage against enemies
Destroy Propaganda for extra XP towards your X-Genes and Mutant Powers
Find and complete Challenge Missions for extra XP
Parrying attacks will boost your M-Power meter
Memorize enemies and bosses attack patterns
Low on health at a certain checkpoint? Replay a Challenge Mission to refill your health from the Load menu
While fighting standard enemies the 1-2-3 hit combo and dodge is always effective.
Invulnerable mutant powers are a most have since you're immune to most damaging attacks.
Healing mutant powers are also a must have power.

It has been reported that this trophy can be unlocked by glitching it. I've tested this on my 2nd account and I can confirm that this glitch does indeed work. In order to perform the X-treme difficulty glitch you must do the following:

Beat the game on either New Mutant or X-Man difficulty.
At the main menu screen select Continue
When given difficulty settings select X-treme
When game loads simply press the button and select Quit and the select Yes to return to the main menu
Now select Load Game, go to your mutant save file and Select Mission to load the final mission of Final Showdown
Simply finish the entire mission and beat the final boss

my tip will help many who don’t want to complete the game on Extreme! do the following: go through the entire game on easy, then select CONTINUE in the main menu, then we will be asked to select the difficulty level of the new game, select Extreme, and as soon as the game is saved, press Start and select exit to the main menu, then select LOAD GAME in the main menu and already on your save where all the missions are open, select the last one, go through it all to the end and get a trophy! and you will also automatically receive a trophy for normal difficulty. WORKS 100% TESTED PERSONALLY!

Start playing right away at this level. The game is not difficult and short. The only moments where I had difficulties were the battle with Sublim, Sentinel and Bastion. I chose the first ability (obsidian knuckles) at the beginning of the game and in choosing fate I always made the first proposed choices (obsidian shards, obsidian skin, tremor). I completed the game quite comfortably with these abilities.
