Good Samaritan on Crystal Defenders

This is one way of getting the Good Samaritan trophy on the PS3 version of Crystal Defenders W1 - Orchise Snowfields.

I intentionally only sped up the combat sequence instead of simply skipping to next wave. That way you can see the "close call" waves. I tried not to fast forward deployment and upgrade phase too much, but I had to shorten the video clip from the original 11:11 run time.

I hope this helps with the trophy.

Thanks a lot, this method works perfectly. It was very frustrating trying to get this trophy before watching this video.

Out of curiosity, how long did it take for you to come up with strategy?

@TelicNotionX

I don't remember exactly, but I guess it took 1 or 2 days for new ideas and fine tuning the old ones wave by wave.

This works until the bomb hord, always loses a crystal ? Is it luck based ? because you had a close call

[beatpeitsi]

@xAshe10x

No, it's not luck based, but some waves can be extremely sensitive about having the correct placement and levels for the units. If even a single unit is slightly off the spot, the enemy will most likely get through. And yes, you CAN compensate by over upgrading your units if you have the gil available, but then you'll probably run out of money during the end game, or you won't be able to stop another kind of wave, (like upgrading only mages and then later facing magic resistant waves)

For those who can't get this strategy to work: Make absolutely sure the unit positions are as in the video. All units occupy a 2x2 square, right? All the units are either right next to each other, or there is a 2x2 gap between them. There are no 1x2 or 2x1 gaps, and even on the lone units (like the later archers) such a misplacement might cost you the wave (i've seen it happen elsewhere). Also, don't overupgrade the units beforehand.

This works also with the PSP version (I tried).

Lol I agree even though I've only tried ONE other video. It was WAY too fast and too difficult to follow. This video, however, was perfect! I still need 4 more achievements on this game, but I should get them soon without much hassle. Basically I just have to finish clearing W2 and W3.

[DirtySouthSOHK]

Much easier to follow than the first video I used to guide me! It has been almost two years after you uploaded this video and it's still working like a charm. On Xbox at least. Thank you for taking the time to post this great guide!

Thank you, I had such a hard time with this trophy. Much appreciated.

It's weird. I did it exactly as you did it. But yet, I managed to come up with 550 g....

[ImaPSPcat]

You rock, it worked perfectly! (even though I managed to fuck it up, lol :p)

[garrettgibbons]

Thanks for this! Worked on iPhone. Thanks a ton!!

[D3Lir10uS]

Thanks, worked perfectly, although I had to restart once cuz I fucked up the placement.
