So I tried replaying missions in order to get the Spurred To Victory trophy, but I did 25 replays with no success. I used the fastest mission I could think of (Pestilence, where you shoot the crows away from the corn) and it saved after each one, but I never got it. I can only assume the mission just doesn't count.

Has anyone gotten it from replaying missions, and which ones did you do?

Is that the same horse for 20 missions one? Maybe it needs to be 20 different missions?

It is. That could be the case, though someone in the last thread suggested doing a quick to finish mission 20 times.

In the case of replaying 20 different missions, I think I'd rather just replay the game from the start. Would be quicker/easier.

\/\/ - Thanks. After beating this game, I find I am still not satisfied. Popping off shots is just too much fun.

Also, my favorite quote: "You couldn't shoot a fart out of yer own rear end!"

Yeah, sorry about that. Early on both PS3T and X360A both believed it was possible for the achievement to unlock by simply repeating levels but apparently you do need to actually complete missions for it to count. You could theoretically start a new game and get it though, according to the good people at X360A.org there are these many missions in New Austin

Bonnie Macfarlane (8)
Marshal Johnson (5)
Nigel Dickens (5)
Seth (3)
Irish (4)


I imagine if you skipped cutscenes and fast traveled a lot, you could wrap that achievement up really quickly.

I just had an awesome time trying to get some of the multiplayer outlaw achievements. Me and a posse of a couple other guys holed up in the top floor of the Armadillo saloon, picking off any lawmen coming in from the entrances. I had my bounty up to 1000 until the other players on the server got whiff of our bounties and trickled in carefully trying to pick us off from the top floor windows. Eventually the entire town of Armadillo became a free for all as numerous posses fought each other to get the privilege of killing us for out bounties.

You get it through a random world event where a nun approaches you and gives it to you. You can't trigger it and you can't go to a certain spot to obtain it, it just happens. You can try exiting the game and reloading but that probably won't help things. You just have to wait for it to happen.


Welp, yesterday a nun approached me and said something, but I was already riding full speed on my horse and I ran her over. -100 honor. And I guess she would have given me my Obscuridad del Santo Andres (whatever that is). Here's hoping I run into her again (but not actually run into her again)!

I know Capn Beeb already posted a list, but as I went through the game I made note of all the cheat locations, if anyone wants to check them out in person. Some of the unknowns will probably be Social Club Challenge unlocks only, but there might be a few more hidden in the game world. The unknowns were discovered via save file edits, so they're just placeholders for now until we figure out how to activate them.

These aren't case sensitive but you may want to use a chatpad or dig up an old USB keyboard to make enterting them easier.

It has to be a combat mission, says it right in the description even. Do the mission with the sheriff where you have to go to the bar, follow the guy, then it gives you the cover tutorial. Run ahead of the sheriff, skip the cut scenes, and just run through and blast everyone. I got it first try when I went for it.

That sounds like the Political Realities In Armadillo mission. I'll give it a go, thanks.

But for referance, there are two trophies in my trophy list that are Hidden and thus have no description. There were more, but they openned up as I did the story line. Out of all the trophies in my list, this particular one does not show, so I assume is one of those two still hidden.

None of the guides referancing the trophy (gamefaqs and such) describe it needing to be a combat mission, saying simply to not hitch a horse for 20 missions, so this vital bit of info has been able to elude me.

I swear that Trophy is glitched to gently caress. I ran through all of mexico, all of black water and all of the final missions without losing my horse or hitching it and i still didnt get it. The only thing i can think of is that fast travelling via stage coaches fucks it up because that's the only other thing i did involving horses/travelling.

By this point in history, Indians had pretty much been driven to reservations, or were living alongside whites. That being said, there are some during the last island. There are also Indians in various gangs, and as various npcs scattered about.

I think the most obvious expansion like the Stories From Liberty City at this point would be Red Dead Revolution, where you play as someone in the Mexican revolution. END GAME SPOILERS: or Red Dead Revenge, where it continues Jacks story and the fallout of him killing that douche who killed John.

Hunt bear, elk and buffalo and sell the stuff in Mexico. I haven't done the achievement yet, but I think it shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 hours depending on how lucky you get with the spawning and what your honor rating is (according to gamefaqs it influences prices).

I'm not sure if it glitched out for me or if this is how you're supposed to do it but it seems that the $10k achievement is $10k altogether and not actually having it on you at one time. I got it when I sold all my gold and had around $2.5k.

Having started a new game, I managed to obtain the trophy from start up to the 21st mission. Specifics: I did everything I could up 'till Nigel Dickson, did three of his which unlocked both Seth and Irish missions. Did all of Seth, then on the final Irish mission, obtained the trophy. I had died twice along the way, used a wagon fast-travel twice and fast traveled by camp a few times.

It's strange, because on my first game, I never hitched a new horse starting from mexico on 'till the end, but I lost a few, broke a few horses but only ever summoned new ones with deeds. Either those things break the "no hitch" deal, or it's something only obtainable when you've beaten the game.
