Welcome to the trophy guide for I, AI
Follow us on twitter for the latest news and giveaways.
Stage 1 – Get to Level 20.
In settings set the game difficulty to Easy.
Optional: Turn on auto fire (will need to turn it off for the Ram trophy so you do not shoot at enemies).
The main aim here is to complete the game, by completing all 20 missions, and to get the misc trophies out the way. To complete a mission you have to kill as many enemies as you can while collecting the blue chips they drop, then kill the boss at the end of the mission. The Blue Chips are the in game currency that is used to upgrade your ship via the hangar, accessed by pressing L1 in between missions.
You will notice a difficulty spike around Level 10, so replay Level 4 over and over which gives 2500 – 2700 Blue Chips each run, to upgrade weapons, especially rockets, main beam and the resurrection ability. Upgrading the Armor and the Resurrection ability will help with the ram trophy.
Powers/abilities tied to trophies are:
Mines.
Ray.
Resurrection.
Stage 2 – Upgrade all systems.
It is now all about grinding the blue chips so you can upgrade all systems to maximum. Replaying the later levels is recommended. Especially levels 19 and 20 (Press options to skip the end game cutscene), Level 19 is easier to achieve a bonus at the end. You should have your powers upgraded at least a few times, so just spam them on the boss to kill it quickly, especially the ray and energy bomb.
