The Darkness II achievement and trophy guide

Jackie is back and along with him comes a whole slew of new achievements and trophies. Much like the first game, there are some that you can get for being passive and some that you can get for being a brutal killing machine.

Below we have added videos to show you how to get some of the more odd and trickier of the achievement/trophies that are found throughout the game. While most are from the single player campaign, make sure you don’t miss out on the Vendetta and Hit List missions as well. Not only do they add more achievements and trophies, but they also add more killing goodness that is far different than Jackie’s variety.

2 Guys 1 Pole

25 Points/Bronze Trophy
Kill 2 enemies with one javelin

There are numerous places that you can try and get this, but one of the easiest is near the beginning of Q and A where you enter the pool hall. As soon as you open the door, grab the pool cue to the right and quickly line up the two enemies that come running to the door. If you miss your shot, restart the checkpoint and it will put you right outside the door where you just were.

Allies in Strange Places 

20 Points/Bronze Trophy
Escape the asylum with help from the inside

This is acquired automatically as part of the singleplayer campaign.

At Home in the Dark

50 Points/Gold Trophy
Finish all chapters in New Game+ on any difficulty

Once you finish the game once, you can then play through again with all your received upgrades and abilities. You are also able to select the chapters, but to get this, you’ll need to play through all of them again.

Back in the Saddle 

20 Points/Bronze Trophy
Rescue Jackie from the Iron Maiden

This is acquired automatically as part of the singleplayer campaign.

Bonnie & Clyde Wannabes

20 Points/Bronze Trophy
Kill Jean-Luc Lambert and Amelie Dubois

This is impossible to miss and you will receive it at the end of the 6th mission in the Vendetta’s Campaign.

Burned His Mansion

20 Points/Bronze Trophy
Kill Luigi Palladino

*snicker* Luigi’s Mansion. Ahem. This is impossible to miss and you will receive it at the end of the 2nd mission in the Vendetta’s Campaign.

Carnie Kid

20 Points/Bronze Trophy
Earn a score of over 1000 in each of the carnival games

When you reach the carnival, there will be two times that you will experience a flashback sequence and have a chance to play the shooting games. The first game will be a duck shooting gallery where alternating between the top and middle row will score you the 1000 points needed easily. The second Shooting gallery has cutouts that will pop out in the form of bandits and sheriffs. Focus on the bandits in the back row to get the 1000 points easiest.

Cheque Please!

This is acquired automatically as part of the singleplayer campaign.

This is for the PlayStation 3 version only.
