So I've been playing this game and (yes, it's buggy) and my console hand and save file became corrupted.
I started downloading your saves to find one that I can start off somewhere near the place I have finished (just before Paramonian temple) to do not miss the story.
I have downloaded Shaka's saveset and New'n'tasty save set (as far as I remember they had 2 and 3 save slots taken) so I could pick which one I wanted.
Occasionally choosing one save e.g. slot 3 poped up with the message saying it's corrupted and going to be deleted - this is probably due to the fact I kept my Data Slot save on my PS3 which console for some reason didn't replace when I was copying the saves from USB (Fill resign and changing region to EU if I had to do it - Shaka's save is in EU already but that didn't work either).
Anyway, None of the saves made ANY TROPHY TO POP, One of the saves gave me chapter select (actually most of them do) so I loaded it up to get Shrykull Awakened (Acquire the power of Shrykull) and that didn't pop either!
The only trophy that poped was Rockin' Mudokon (Kill a bat with a rock) when I loaded one of the saves on the beginning of the game.
Even Act of Odd (Kill 99 Mudokon slaves) didn't unlock when it clearly said on the board that I have killed 100 Mudokons.
So, there's my theory:
Since there is 3 data-saves, one for in-game settings, one for save slots and one for game progression - there are all working together (that's why I had error popping up when loading with my data slot, but - not for all of them).
Once any event is passed, no matter on which save slot, it cannot be "re-triggered" by simply loading another save or choosing chapter select if the game already registered this has been done already, and was written to other save game data or slot (unfortunately I don't know which one).
I presume the New'n'hasty trophy would pop as this event takes place at the end of the game and if it wasn't triggered on other save slot it would most likely work.
Same about the Rockin' Mudokon trophy which user have had never triggered this before that's why it unlocked for me (that would need to be confirmed by the creator of the save).
Now, there's the question for you guys, first of all, for those who have tested the saves, do you share my opinion? what do you think?
Secondly, do you think there is a way to "cheat" the console into thinking that no events have been triggered by e.g. creating clean save then swapping only slot save?
I now have enough of testing (online and offline) and started a new game today, and I have reached Zulag 1 already with 10 trophies unlocking just by playing the game.
Please share your opinions and findings, I'm really interested what's going on...
