Just got the GTA IV Platinum Trophy on the PS3 an hour ago. The last trophies I acheived were pretty much the toughest ones to earn. "Fly The Co-Op" "Wanted" & "Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic". For "Fly The Co-Op" you must beat the times for all 3 games in one sitting, meaning you can't quit. It's best to do all of these 3 games with only 2 people (yourself + a friend) on EASY difficulty.
Start by doing Bomb Da Base II >>
You and your friend both get into the same black Rebla at the start of the game and drive as quick as you can to the armoured van. Once there, kill everybody and take the truck as fast as you can to the yellow marker. Once the chopper appears, both get in quick and fly low between the buildings and head towards the boat. When you have the boat in your sight, fly toward the right side end of it and do a U-Turn in the air so that the passenger side of the chopper is facing the boat and the driver side is facing the ocean. Fly a little above the end of the boat and get the passenger to jump out, landing on the boat. The driver stays in the chopper.
Bottom Floor Bomb:
If you know how to do the glitch where you can plant the bomb from the deck of the boat, then do that and you will have no troubles. If not, then the passenger who jumped out on the back end of the boat goes straight into the door and kills the people on the inside and heads straight downstairs and tries to plant the bomb as fast as they can. Once planted, pull out a grenade, activate it and keep it held in your hand so you die from it, which will make you spawn closer to being off the boat or luckily off the boat instead.
Top Floor Bomb:
Soon as the passenger hops out and lands on the back end of the boat, the pilot of the chopper flies straight to the very top of the boat where the top floor bomb is located in the little tiny room that has a few guards in it. Take your time and try to steady the chopper on the very top of the little room's roof and jump out so you land right at the entrance to the little room, kill the guards and plant the bomb. (If the lower bomb hasn't yet been planted try to go and help if you must. You won't have to if the passenger player knows how to do the glitch for it, then it's a piece of cake). Once the top bomb is planted jump off the boat landing anywhere, in the water, or on the ground, who cares, just watch out for your lives incase you're running low.
Next, do Hangman's Noose which is fairly simple and easy to beat >>
Soon as the game starts, one person remains by the jet and shoots as many cops as they can, collecting health packs when low on health. The other person right away should hop on the small white airport cargo vehicle on the very right of the starting position and drive it all the way to where the anihalator choppers are located. That person gets into one chopper and flies it back towards the jet and hopefully Petrovic should be able to walk out of the jet. Park the chopper in the bottom yellow marker and then once everybody is in, fly to the safe-zone and crash land into it to quickly complete it. (This 1 is to easy).
Lastly, do Dealbreaker >>
Might take a few tries, but its beatable. Get in the car parked on Pegarino's driveway. If one is not there, then go into the garage and both players get in and go towards the chopper located at the house north of there (google it find the exact location if you do not know it already). Get in the chopper and fly to the roof of the building where the deal is going down, kill the guards at the top floor and collect the dropped money as you see them, don't leave any behind. Each person takes their own set of stairs down and kills everybody. On the 4th floor make sure you get the RPG, it's better if both of you just go right ahead and take one. Once you reach the end stage where you have to hunt down the final enemies, if you are lucky you will get the boat to spawn. Go near the edge of the land and fire the RPG directly at the boat when it is closest to you. The other person should have the chopper by now by going back up to the top while the RPG shooter is getting ready to fire. Land the chopper right by them so they can get in quick and fly back to the start area. If you happen to get the bikers to spawn at the end and be the final enemy, don't give up, it might still work, just keep playing because the more you do this the more easy it will be the next game you try since you know what you have to do.
I got this trophy in 45 minutes.
For WANTED:
Play Hangman's Noose the way you play it to beat the time over and over again on HARD difficulty. It takes approximately 22 successful tries to earn 100,000$ it will take about 1,111 times if you do this from rank 0. It will take weeks to a month or so, depending on how often you play.
Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic:
Hardest trophy to earn.
you need like 11 hours of free time, good internet connection, and 4 friends who will help you 100%. For most of it, only 2 people will be needed altogether (yourself + a friend) to get the 108 races done, and the games like deathmatch which require 2 players minimum. Do custom match start by doing races as they are the main part. Make sure you put private slots to MAX so no strangers will join. Then use the checklist and do everything. For team games, you will need 4 people altogether and boost it (meaning let you win, that's what friends are for).
you only have to win each game once. Do dealbreaker, hangmans noose, bomb da base 2 at the very end ok.
You must win cops and crooks in both rounds. One for all is easier.
Might have to leave your ps3 on if you're running out of online buddies at the time. Never quit or shut down ps3 or gta.
I STARTED AT 10:00AM AND FINISHED AT 8:00PM ONLY TAKING ONE 10 MINUTE BREAK TO SMOKE A CIGARETTE. real time consuming
