Origins of Pain DLC Achievement Guide & Roadmap

[L1E]

All Gold takes a hell of a lot of time and effort unless you are already a Trials expert. 6/10 is way underestimating the difficulty IMO. For comparison, Trials HD has a difficulty of 10/10, and Trials Evolution (Excluding DLC) has a difficulty of 8/10. You're telling me that this DLC is much easier than both Trials HD and Evolution? Then why is it that I've completed both of those without too much effort, but don't have a shot in hell of completing this DLC without hours and hours of practice? I just don't understand your logic for the difficulty. Maybe it's easy for you because you seem very good, but for the average player, this is just not a 6/10.

I don't think anyone completed Trials HD with minimal effort, so no need for exaggeration. I agree this DLC is more of a 7, maybe an 8, but it is nowhere near HD's difficulty.

Not exaggerating, it wasn't very difficult for me, but that's beside the point.

I would agree to an 8. I just think that this difficulty rating should be something on par with the other games, not lower.

Then again, the rating is completely subjective, so whatever. Just voicing my opinion.

Agreed, hd was ok once the Marathon achievement was changed. Im ok at the game but I cant see how anything lower than 9/10 makes sense. A tiny % of ppl are gonna max this game now, and of those that do its gonna take them a very long time.

Aside from that great guide OP thanks!

Finally got Hey Mom, Look at Me! and the 500!

I used the Gecko and tried to bounce my way there and not take too long trying to feather and steady. I got very lucky though because my wheel touched down right at the finish line.

Good luck to anyone still attempting this, now off to grind some money! I want that combat medic helmet!

See this happened to me yesterday, but it didn't unlock!

Only issues I'm having is the last sloped ramp after you fall from the hanging platforms. The force and speed, just slams the front wheel down, or if you're holding back, you flip and bail.

Only part I just can't get right or it just doesn't work. Everything else, I can do after many practices because luck in this game is hard to come by!

It was funny because right before I got the achievement, about thirty or so attempts back this happened to me, except my wheel touched probably an inch from the finish line. I was pissed but felt better knowing that I have gotten closer. I just kept at it and got it that same night.

This is the only achievement I didn't end up getting day one of me having the DLC. Got everything but this on 10/6 and just got this on 10/10.

How the fuck do you hit that target to get the squirrel in Carnival Run? Fucking twenty minutes murdering the left stick here and I can't even come close to the thing.

I found that using the 450cc scorpion was the only way I could get it. Even then, it took about 30 tries before I could get the distance.

Personally I could never manage to clear that gap with the Scorpion or Gecko, so I used Phoenix and did a front-flip. Eventually you can get the right speed and momentum and smack it with your front wheel.

[Mister Buds]

Thanks. What I actually found is that you don't bunny hop off the roof. You need to tilt over it then rock back and forth during the airtime. That's why I wasn't able to get close to it.

Now, if I could do this damn wheelie achievement...

Good luck LOL. This is how I did it finally yesterday:

I've been rotating between the Pheonix, Gecko, and Scorpion every 500 faults. I'd have to say I like the Gecko the least, it's just way too sensitive. I'm up to like 2,000 faults attempting that achievement and can't make any progress. To be honest I don't see it happening.

I probably had like 3000 or more of all my attempt combined LOL. I ended up getting it though, keep at it and you'll eventually hit a lucky bounce and make it.

A difficulty rating of 10 or 9 sounds good in my opinion. 6 is way too low (none of the regular Trials Evo achievements even come close to getting gold on Magic Marker which has a brutally low fault requirement, hence it should not be lower than 8). The wheelie achievement is no pushover either.

The marathon achievement from Trials HD isn't hard in this sense, it just requires extreme consistency.

Any tips on how to pass the second big jump in Magic Marker, the one where we land on a long, steep slope? I've only passed the obstacle twice (by fluke). When I clear the jump (which doesn't happen often), I barely manage to land on the very bottom of the slope without any room to adjust/stabilize the bike, so I just bounce back. I haven't been able to replicate the moves from replays either.

Best way I can explain it is to start from the checkpoint spot, then floor it and push forward then try to do a bunny hop right at the top of the ramp you are on. If done right, you can usually make it up there either first try or within a couple faults.

Hardest thing about gold on that track is getting all the way to the last jumps, those hops, and then keep messing up there. My first gold I got 15 faults... lol.

The only way I've been able to pass it consistently is the following:

This is using the Gecko.

1. From the checkpoint, adjust your rider so he is leaning back
2. Slowly roll up to the slope/ramp until you are in the "bend" of the ramp. Stop so your rider is sort of resting at the bend.
3. Slowly throttle up until you are at the top of the ramp, making sure not to lift your front tire. Near the top of the ramp, gas it hard and
4. bunny hop over the gap ( )
5. push forward when you land while feathering the gas
6. slowly gas it to crawl up the slope

Here's a video of my (12 fault) gold run:

is only my game freezing constantly?

downloaded it today and already froze 3 times while playing OOP.

Added info and videos for the achievement for gold medals in all tracks.

Great guide thanks

However I'm having real trouble getting the Dry Dock squirrels, I've got into the cart the way I've seen in your and other videos loads of times but then it won't move.
It's really starting to bug me, heh, what makes it all the worse is that it's my last achievement and I've not had any trouble with the other squirrels.

EDIT: Done Tried using the Scorpion and it unlocked after just a couple of tries.

Noticed you got this. But for the Dry Dock squirrel, I was able to get it just by backing straight up braking and just "crashing" so I get dumped on the edge of the cart. Then I was able to work myself into the cart when I was down. Much easier then having to get enough momentum to make it in the cart.

Every time I tried to wiggle into the cart just resulted in me flailing around in the cart. It wasn't until I was able to get my back tire over the railing right next to the cart. Then I fell into the cart and after a few seconds it started to move. Took quite a while to get enough momentum to be able to pop over.

Hm... I never got enough momentum to get my back tire over the rail even once. So finally I gave up and just tried to see what would happen without the momentum. I tried to dump myself into the cart and it worked. Now that I recall, I may have tried another time before and got the cart to actually move without me being in it, but no squirrel popped that time.

I may try again to see if I can recreate this.

[Dog Face]

Maybe I missed it but I just saw one mention of the Adrenaline Cannon? For the third jump about where should I launch from? The closest I've gotten to Gold was 90ft.
God dammit. Was coming here to say nevermind because I thought I had it. Off by 1ft.

All is Gold. Thanks to me for figuring this out.

If you come close to the hoop you should get it IMO.

My tip: make sure to know when the top is coming and also make sure to instantly pull back and up on the stick so that you can correct for over-compensation. Under-compensation cannot be corrected lol...

This one is seriously pissing me off. I've got up about 30x now. About 5 I didn't quite clear the last rail and seemed to run out of steam. 7 or 8 I've flown right past. Another 7 or 8 I've landed in the area but the ball kept going too far. A few more the ball hit the hoop but I landed short of the gate. I've had 2 that looked perfect but didn't pop the achievement, and around 5 others that seemed like they should have been good enough.

Are you releasing the ball? I already got this achievement, but tried it again for fun. I landed right on the basket and was trying to manipulate myself in front of the basket to drop the ball in. I couldn't so I just gave up and released the ball. I got the fireworks which means I would have gotten the achievement I think.




For adrenaline canon, I read some advice here. Forgot from who but was really effective.
1st Jump - Launch 80 degrees, after 1 second bail.
2nd Jump - Launch 80 degrees, after 0.5 second bail.
3rd Jump - Launch 80 degrees, after 0.1 second bail.
If done correctly, you'll overshoot your mark everytime so you can just adjust.


Also it's possible to get a super negative record launching yourself the other way. lol

[Maka]

Added timelinks for squirrel locations.

Submitted the final guide.

[LaserPanther]

@ Maka
Squirrel 6/10 - Dry Docks:
You actually don't have to get that "lucky bounce" as described in the video. Just lean back, bail into the minecart and it starts moving.

Just got it this way.

[Scrubber]

This DLC has fucked my completed gamerscore for this game. Really annoyed.
