The achievements and trophies included in Portal 2 run the gamut of being frustratingly difficult to being easy as pie. Not cake, absolutely no references to cake here. Anyways, we have put together this handy guide with a whole batch of videos to help you get a complete list of accomplishments in both the single player and co-op campaigns.
For a more serene experience in acquiring the rewards found in the co-op campaign, you'll hopefullyhave a paitent buddy or else there may be some broken controllers in your near future. While not every achievement/trophy needs a video to show you how to get the goods, the more problematic of the bunch are here for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
NOTE: If you haven't played through it yet, please note that this guide contains POTENTIAL SPOILERS.
