When it comes to PSN titles, there is usually a small problem that makes the trophies difficult. This is usually a steep learning curve, as these titles are far shorter than your standard retail title. This is very true for StarDrone, which most people gave up on. However, since the Vita version supports cross play, which will also unlock you ps3 trophies, there is new hope for the game. To go along with this new hope, we made a trophy guide so you can fully enjoy the title.
NOTE: StarDrone (PS3) and StarDrone Extreme (Vita) are exactly the same game, but Extreme has some slight improvements. With this being said, everything said here is true and will work regardless of the version.
Possible Glitch
Be warned that there is a possible trophy glitch in StarDrone. The glitch occurs with stage 60 failing to save correctly. However, this can be resolved by uploading your save to the cloud and reloading it. This should show stage 60 as incomplete and allow you to earn this trophy. It is a know problem, but this solution will work.
Bronze
First Blood
Destroyed an enemy Creeper for the first time.
After stage 12, the levels become more varied and add orb enemies called “creepers”. You will run into them a lot and some stages even require you to kill them to win. To kill one, collect stars till you change to the star shape. After this, simply touch them for a kill. You can also kill them with rockets, berserk and other tools by default or with luck.
Vibemaster destroyer
Destroyed the Vibemaster boss.
Despite what this trophy says, the Vibemaster is not a boss. They’re in fact, special enemies you run into twice in the level 50 range. You will need to kill them to progress, so they’re in no way special. To kill one, you will need to light up stars, which cause them to open. From here you can push them away and if they hit a wall, it should kill them. This works better if you’re in the star form, but I believe it’s possible in your standard form too.
Rocket Kill
Destroyed an enemy with a rocket.
You have no control over rockets, so this is purely luck based. With this said, it’s almost impossible to get to level 50 without it happening. In the event you make it that far, you have a 99.99% chance of it happening on stage 60. If you watch my guide for stage 60, you will see I get one or two of them without even trying.
Turret destroyer
Destroyed a g-noids turret.
Some stages will have turrets, which fire rockets at you. As you progress they become more common, so I wouldn’t worry about it. Towards the end of the game, there is a stage that requires you to destroy one to progress.
Raging drone!
Wiped out 10 enemies in Rage mode.
When you collect a lot of stars, you will change to a star shape. This change is called rage mode and this will happen by default.

Lost in space..
Lost in space 3 times.
Many levels have wide open zones where there’s nothing. Simply have this happen to you three times on the same stage and it will unlock.
I got the powah!
Used every power-up: Berserk, Magnet and Invisibility.
A few stages have these hidden around, but you will collect one of each before finishing every level. There is at least one stage that requires these skills to progress, so I wouldn’t sweat it.
Epic fail!
Failed to complete a level in 20 attempts.
Select a level that is easy to fail and lost 20 times. I do however suggest doing this last, as it took me over 20 attempts to beat level 60.
New Hope
Let’s Rock.
This will unlock when you finish the first stage. Considering you just have to shoot straight, it should be pretty easy for anyone.
Silver
Game Finished!
Passed all game levels.
See “Medalist” for more information.
Gold
Medalist
Got awarded with at least one medal on every level.
This is by a wide margin the hardest task, though you can save yourself a headache. First off make sure the game is set to easy. While you might hurt your pride, easy and hard are merely different by like 10% damage. One screw up can and will kill you, but there will be some rare situations where this slight difference pays off.
Additionally, never spend too much time on side stuff. One mission had 200+ possible stars and I just beat it in 48 seconds. Despite getting 2/200+ stars, the fact I did it 4 minutes under the target gave me a gold medal. This is true for many stages and is also the main deciding factor for your overall score.
Finally there are some really tricky stages later on that I would love to explain, but most are just noticing what works and what needs to be done. Since most of them are pretty obvious and you need to fail 20 times in one mission anyways, you might as well try trial and error. However, I do think level 60 could use an explanation, so you can find a video of me doing it below. I admit I do bad, but it was one of my first attempts of playing the game on the PS3.
