My Brother is an Italian Plumber
Killed an enemy plumber-style
This trophy is best done just outside Fyrestone at the start of your 1st playthrough. All you need to do is kill and enemy (a Skag ideally), by jumping on its head. What I did was weaken it with gun fire to start with, then simply ran up to it and kept jumping on top of it until it died. See the Video below:

Pistol – 11 Kills
Shotgun – 10 Kills
SMG – 9 Kills

Hidden Trophy
Spoiler
Wanted: Sledge
Killed Sledge
For this trophy you need to defeat Sledge. He will be the second Boss that you come across. You cant miss this trophy as you need to defeat him to progress through the game. The best form of attack for this guy is Electricity to take down his powerful shield. Then use rapid fire weapons (SMG’s, Machine Guns etc) to chip away at his health. Also avoid getting too close to him as his melee attacks are quite damaging.
Hidden Trophy
Spoiler
Wanted: Krom
Killed Krom
For this trophy you need to defeat Krom. Again you cant miss this trophy as you need to defeat him to progress through the game. The best form of attack is to destroy his Turret from a distance (a nice powerful exploding sniper rifle should to the trick). Once this is destroyed Krom is very easy to take down. Be careful though as the turret regenerates health at the same rate as Krom.
Hidden Trophy
Spoiler
Wanted: Flynt
Killed Flynt
For this trophy you need to defeat Flynt. Again you cant miss this trophy as you need to defeat him to progress through the game. The best form of attack is to fire on Flynt whilst he is reloading his “Boomstick”. This is a shotgun that fires 6 rockets. You’ll have around 6 seconds to fire on him while he is reloading. Take advantage of this then take cover. It has a low accuracy so you could easily avoid the incoming rockets.
Hidden Trophy
Spoiler
Destroyed the Hive
Killed the Rakk Hive
For this trophy you need to defeat the Rakk Hive. Again you cant miss this trophy (or the Rakk Hive for that matter – HUGE) as you need to defeat him to progress through the game. Its biggest weakness is its eyes. Sniper or Machine gun these from a distance if you can. Take cover when additional Rakks join the fight and keep a couple of them alive, as you can use them for a “Second Wind” if needed. It’s a big beast and took me a while and a fair few deaths to kill it.
Hidden Trophy
Spoiler
Destroyed the Destroyer
Killed the Vault Boss
The destroyer is the Vault Boss and is the last boss in the game. Its not an overly tough fight. The easiest way to kill this boss is to. Hide behind the Rock on the right hand side. From here kill the Purple Tentacles that spawn. Once you have destroyed these turn your fire on the Destroyer. Repeat this until he is destroyed. Quick fire elemental weapons seem to work best, as it appears to absorb normal fire .
Speedy McSpeederton
Raced around the Ludicrous Speedway in record time
For this trophy you need to race around the speedy way located in the Dahl Headlands. Simply race around it in record time and you’ll get the trophy. For the best route see the Video below:

You call this archaeology?
Applied an elemental artifact
For this trophy you simply need to apply an elemental Artefact to yourself. You will come across your first Elemental Artefact after you complete the mission ‘Shock Crystal Harvest’. Once you have acquired the shock crystal go to your Echo Menu and find the Shock Crytal. Press on it and it will be equipped and you should get the trophy.

Ding! Champion
Earned level 50
This is one of many Level related trophies. For this one you need to reach level 50. It will also probably be one of the last trophies that you earn. You can earn it two ways
1. Legit - Continue on your second playthrough and rank up as normal.
2. Boost – Get someone who is a much higher level to play with you and let them do all the killing as it will earn you higher XP. As each kill gives XP to the both of you.
This will be acquired in your second playthrough. I was level 36 after my first playthrough.
Get A Little Blood on the Tires
Killed 25 enemies by ramming them with any vehicle
This is an easy trophy. Once you get access to a vehicle (Catch-A-Ride mission) you will be able to drive around. Any enemy that you kill adds to this total. Most enemies die as soon as you run them over. I wouldn’t worry too much about this as you will kill plenty with your vehicle throughout the game.
Rootinest, Tootinest, Shootinest
Killed 5 Rakk in under 10 seconds
For this you simply need to kill 5 Rakk’s in 10 seconds. This can be done from the turret of your vehicle (ideally with the machine gun). Find one of the many Rakk Hives on the ground around Skag Gully. Fire a shot at once of these hives and the Rakk will shoot out of it. They make an attack run in a nice compact group. Aim your gun at them and keep firing. You should get this trophy if not, try again.
Pandora-dog Millionaire
Earned $1,000,000
For this you need to have earnt a total of $1,000,000. You don’t actually have to have this amount of cash so don’t worry about that. You can earn money completing missions and selling guns, ammo, shields etc.
Note: You can check how much you have earnt by looking at the challenge The Rich get Richer, which can be found in the challenges subpage of the missions menu.
Fence
Sold 50 guns to a shop
For this you simply need to sell 50 Guns at the vending machine around Pandora. You’ll find plenty of weapons throughout the game. If you like me and you sell the guns you know you wont use, this shouldn’t take long for you to get.
Can't We Get BEYOND Thunderdome?
Emerged victorious from an arena match
You can get this either boosting with a friend online or playing split screen (if you have two controllers). Just go to the arena near Fyrestone in the Arid Badlands, kill you opponent 3 times and this trophy will be yours.
Duel-icious
Won a duel against another player
Again you can get this either boosting with a friend online or playing split screen (if you have two controllers). To start a duel you simply need to melee the other character, and they need to melee you back. Once they have all you need to do is defeat your opponent, as the duel starts as soon as the hit you back.
Group LF Healer
Rescued a groupmate from death in a co-op game
For this all you need to do is heal a fallen partner and you’ll get this. When your partner is injured it will tell you in the top left. Approach the fallen play and press until they are revived.
There's No "I" In "Team"
Completed 15 missions in co-op
This is easy enough. All you need to do is complete any 15 missions with an online partner. This can be a friend or a random person you meet online. They don’t have to be in any specific order and it can be done however you like 1, 2 or 15 missions in any sitting.
Hidden Trophy
Spoiler
United We Stand
Defeated the Rakk Hive, the Vault Boss, Sledge, Krom, or Flynt in a co-op game
All you need to do is create one of the above bosses with a friend or co-op partner. This is probably best done with a friend as it’s sometimes hard to find someone at the same stage in the game as you. However what I did was when I knew I was about to face Sledge I hosted my own online game. I set it as my active mission and waited for some random player to join in. I then continued on the mission we killed Sledge and I got the trophy. If you do it with a friend it’s obviously easier as you don’t have to worry about them quitting on you before you kill Sledge.
And They'll Tell Two Friends
Played in a co-op game with either an employee of Gearbox or someone who had this trophy
This is similar to the ‘Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie’ on GTA. The developes for the first week played online and people got this trophy. They played with friends, who played with friends passing this trophy on like a disease. So chances are you will get this playing with a random person online. Either way I would stress to much about it. Just keep playing online and you’ll get it no problem.
Hidden Trophy
Spoiler
You're on a Boat!
I bet you never thought you'd be here
To get this trophy you firstly need to be in the Teacher’s Landing Area. There are boats docked in this area. You need to go to the location on the map below and get onto the boat. The boat is hard to miss as it’s lit up like a dream. Once you do the trophy is yours.
Duelinator
Won a duel without taking damage
If you did split screen on the ‘Duel-icious’ trophy you will probably got this at the same time. Or even if you boosted with with a friend you may have got it. If not set up a duel with a friend and simple kill him without taking damage which is easy.
Facemelter
Killed 25 enemies with corrosive weapons
Through out the game you will find elemental weapons. The four types are:
Corrosive – Acid (Good against flesh)
Shock – Electrical (Good against shields)
Incendiary – Fire (Good against flesh)
Explosive – Explosive (Good for popping bodes )
For this trophy you need to get 25 kills with Corrosive Weapons. You’ll probably get this whilst playing the game naturally so there is no real need to try and go for this.

Fully Loaded

For this trophy you need to rescue claptraps from various locations on Pandora. This will help you to carry more weapons. To gain 42 inventory slots you need to rescue 10 Clap Traps. You do this by finding a Clap Trap Repair Kit in the area. Take it back to the clap trap and you’ll get a Backpack SDU. Use this new item in you inventory to gain extra slots.

Truly Outrageous
Killed an enemy with the Siren's action skill
This is one of the abilities that the Siren acquires. You unlock these abilities at around level 5 (if I remember correctly). Then all you need to do is use it to kill one enemy. Sirens action skill is quite weak so it’s probably best to weaken your target first approach them and then use her Phasewalk skill to kill the target. Job done!
Note: I played my game as a hunter. I got the Careful, He Bites’ trophy just playing the game as normal. The other 3 abilities I just started new games, played until I got the ability and then used it to get the kills. You can usually get them just before you go up against Nine-Toes.
Careful, He Bites
Killed 15 enemies with the Hunter's action skill
This is one of the abilities that the Hunter acquires. You unlock these abilities at around level 5 (if I remember correctly). Then all you need to do is use it to kill 15 enemies. Hunter’s action skill is Bloodwing! The best place to get these kills is just out side fire stone soon after you have acquired the skill. This is because the Skag pups can be killed in one swoop of this beast.

Reckless Abandon
Killed 15 enemies with the Berserker's action skill
This is one of the abilities that the Berserker acquires. You unlock these abilities at around level 5 (if I remember correctly). Then all you need to do is use it to kill 15 enemies. Berserker's action skill is Berserk. This sends him into a rampage where you swing your firsts at enemies!

Down in Front!
Killed 15 enemies with the Soldier's action skill
This is one of the abilities that the Soldier acquires. You unlock these abilities at around level 5 (if I remember correctly). Then all you need to do is use it to kill 15 enemies. Soldiers action skill is a deployable Turret. This turret will fire on the nearest enemy. So make sure you deploy it facing the enemy for more effective kills.
