Borderlands GOTY

Borderland Defender
You have defeated all bosses and are a powerful force to be reckoned with

It’s not just about killing all the bosses to earn the platinum, it’s about earning all the other trophies to the main game first. DLC trophies are not needed for this trophy.

Destroyed the Destroyer
Killed the Vault Boss

This is the final boss who appears right at the end of the main game. After a cutscene, the battle will begin. A non-elemental Combat Rifle and a helix Rocket Launcher is recommended. Try and kill the Eridian Parasites before they attack. These enemies were added into the PS4 version, so might take you by surprise if you played the PS3 version.

United We Stand
Defeated the Rakk Hive, the Vault Boss, Sledge, Krom, or Flynt in a co-op game.

Whilst in a co-op game (online or offline) you just have to defeat one of the bosses listed in the trophy description. If you play from the beginning of the game, the first you will encounter, and the easiest, is Sledge.

Pandora-dog Millionaire
Earned $1,000,000.
Cumulative and will no doubt come naturally during your 1st playthrough. Selling unwanted items in the vending machines will help towards this trophy.

And They’ll Tell Two Friends
Play with at least two other players.

To get this trophy, all you need to do is join a local or online Co-Op match that has 3 players in it, yourself and 2 others. Self boost it if you have enough controllers.

Duelinator
Won a duel without taking damage.

Make sure in the options menu you have Duel requests set to Accepted. The easiest way to obtain this trophy is to self boost it with a 2nd controller or with a friend in split-screen. Have both players melee each other by pressing R3 to initiate the Duel. Let player 1 win by killing player 2 and you will get this trophy and the Duel-icious trophy for winning and winning without damage.

Wanted: Flynt
Killed Flynt
Baron Flynt is located in the Salt Flats. A shock weapon, corrosive or incendiary Rocket Launcher, a decent Shotgun, and a strong, fast regenerating shield is recommended for this fight. Ignore Flynt to begin with, he will be up on top of the structure, take out the waves of his minions first. Keep your distance from Flynt, avoid his rockets from his shotgun. Take out his shield and then get in some headshots.

Destroyed the Hive
Killed the Rakk Hive.
After completing the mission ‘Another Piece Of The Puzzle’ , you will travel to Trash Coast, where the Rakk Hive is. (You will get a trophy for Discovering Trash Coast) Rakk will continue coming from the hive until you destroy it so make sure to shoot the hive and not just the Rakk coming from it. A shotgun is recommended to kill Rakk quickly, and a Sniper rifle for shooting the eyes on the hive.

Wanted: Krom
Killed Krom
A shock sniper rifle is recommended for this fight. You can stay near the entrance and gradually pick at Krom and his turret. Destroy his turret first, he is useless without it.

Wanted: Sledge
Killed Sledge

Sledge is the last boss in the Arid Badlands area. You will face him during the mission “Sledge Battle for the Badlands”. Keep your distance from Sledge and his Shotgun and Hammer weapons. Take out his minions and grab any ammo or health they drop. A shock weapon should sort Sledge out. Otherwise, use the entrance doors to your advantage, you can shoot him from them he seems to forget how to use his weapons or realize you are killing him.

You call this archaeology?
Applied an elemental artifact.

The earliest you can get an elemental artifact is when you complete and hand in the mission Shock Crystal Harvest or The Legend Of Moe and Marley. The game will also notify you with a tutorial message of what an elemental artifact is. Find the artifact in your inventory and select it to equip it or highlight the diamond in the top left corner of the Skills screen and press X twice on the artifact to use it.

Speedy McSpeederton
Raced around the Ludicrous Speedway in record time.

Complete the race within 31 seconds or faster. Found on the bottom left corner of the map of The Dahl Headlands. The start is at the first set of triangle garlands after the cabin at the entrance. Use your boost on the straights. Go into the tunnel and take the shortcut on the left just after the pillar. Go through the middle section and boost up the ramp to make the jump. Turn left upon landing, Go under the triangular garlands and drop back down to the starting area. The trophy should pop. Try again if not because it means you weren’t fast enough. Please see the video.

12 Days of Pandora

Down in Front!
Killed 15 enemies with the Soldier’s action skill.

Once you have reached Rank 5 with your character, you will unlock the ability to use the Action Skill. Press R2 to use it and get 15 kills for this trophy. Weak enemies like the Skag near the beginning of the game make this trophy quick and easy.

My Brother is an Italian Plumber
Killed an enemy plumber-style.

To get this trophy, you need to kill an enemy by jumping on them.
The earliest you can get this is during the mission “Skags At The Gate”. You can also do this later on in the game with the small Sythids and Spiderants. You can weaken the enemy first, but make sure the killing blow is by jumping on them. I recommend doing this once you have ranked up to around Level 10, so that it’s easier and quicker, as you will be stronger.

Can’t We Get BEYOND Thunderdome?
Emerged victorious from an arena match.

An arena match is not the same as a standard duel. Enter an arena in the game and survive 2-3 rounds without dying. Start a Splitscreen game and make sure that player 2 is at level 1 to make it quicker. Go to the arena in Fyrestone called the Fyrestone Coliseum. You can use any of the three arenas that are in the game, but the Fyrestone arena is the first you will encounter. Once in the arena, go to the far end of the room, bring up the options menu and select Start Match. After you’ve both spawned, have your main accounts player kill the other player three times. Sadly the suicide option is disabled, so you can’t just make player 2 die instantly. The trophy will pop once the match has been won.
