I Got the Platinums for the Borderlands Trilogy!

This video was a lot of fun to make! Sorry it took a while, though; I was struggling a lot on Borderlands 2. I may go for the spinoff games as well, so stick around if you wanna see those. Hope you enjoy the video!

Getting a few comments asking about my early game infinity, so imma just answer it here: During the 10th anniversary they gave codes out that gave the infinity, lyuda, and an op 10 unkempt harold (I sold the Harold so if you notice me having $13M, that's why)

[@Director_of_the_false_last_act]

I was actually typing out that question when I saw this but anyways awesome video man

[@autobotzapof0002]

Why did you sell A HAROLD? That’s one of the best guns in the game!

[@zer0-959]

​@@autobotzapof0002 selling right away is not a bad move. The harold consumes too much ammo in early game. And the harold is easy to farm

[@autobotzapof0002]

@@zer0-959 but if he used the code I think he did that was prepped for his level cap maxing out.

[@Shardyx]

I sold the Harold because I have no plans of reaching op 10, and I couldn't use it unless I reached op 10

[@vizualwarrior129]

As a borderlands veteran watching him play this is hilarious. So many things he was doing to make his life so much harder lmao and it was funny but also kinda cringy watching him make some mistakes that we all made and had to learn from at some point lol

I mean, it's not even close to first to do it but it's still very impressive and long as hell to do especially bl2

[@cryomancer414]

yep i did it years back

[@ChaosNoahV]

I remember doing it with my friend and tbh we hated doing BL1 more than 2, cause the stupid moxxi tournament ones were pain, not hard but we hated how long it took Edit: oh and also farming for the drops from claptraps in the DLC

[@cashbanucita0025]

He didn't do the dlc so I do not grant platinum

[@tonypeterson7728]

I have it on 1, and 3 twice, 100% 2 with all DLC once, and am i think 1 away from it on the pre-sequel.. It is TOTALLY doable for the whole series... only need 2 more in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands game... Just takes a little while, but can totally be done easily

[@pekonipappa9292]

watching you fight bunker with zero and not one shotting it reminds me when i first played bl2 and didnt no anything. the good old days

[@ethanbond2009]

As someone who has previously done all 3 of these, the platinum trophy isn't really that hard to get. 100% trophies is the hard part. Cutting the dlcs out cuts out all of the hardest bosses, challanges, and circles of slaughter. Thats the REAL challange id like to see done here! But congrats regardless!

[@ph8808]

I’ve almost done it, I have 100% on bl2 and the pre sequel and 80% done in bl1 and bl3

Does the Platinum require you to find Micheal and take the weapon In Sanctuary

[@Shardyx]

@jakesorrentino7230 yeah you gotta take the weapon as well

[@ph8808]

sorry for the late reply mate ive been hella busy with University Exams so I havent really had time. Either way the Moxxi Arena DLC in BL1 really burned me out so I was planning on taking a break anyway. Hopefully in the winter I can progress a bit more in BL1 and maybe do some BL3 because I havent really played that game as much as its not my personal favourite

[@ZAVAGEZANDER7]

I grew up with borderlands, and I always enjoyed and loved it. I kinda want to platinum them, but seeing you struggle make me question my thoughts. Great job, Vault Hunter

[@Shardyx]

Nah I struggled because I was trash at this time, nowadays it wouldn't be bad, there's just some grindy trophies. I'd say go for it!

[@ZAVAGEZANDER7]

@Shardyx I'm trash too! But maybe I should give it a try. Also, on an unrelated note, who's your favorite vault hunter

The first playthrough for each Borderlands game is legendary because you’ll get pissed off regardless. Even as a Borderlands vet on both PlayStation and Xbox, it still has its moments 😂

[@MarcyMcDarcy5441]

Giving me flashbacks to the first time i played borderlands its good and all, but i started with bl2 cause my brother introduced me to the series. Honestly all the games slap, even tho bl1 was a bit slower feeling than bl2 i enjoyed my time playing it.

[@Flippirino]

As someone who has Borderlands (1) on ps3 Only thing holding me back from fully trying to 100% it is the trophy for a gearbox employee or someone that has the trophy

[@Shardyx]

That is such a bad trophy

[@Flippirino]

@@Shardyx it was a good idea as a concept in the past to meet an employee or creator of the game But nowadays seen as bad/annoying which is understandable But at least they made it so anyone who has it can give it and not just having to be in a game with an employee

[@toxicbonbons]

Fun fact, Torgue guns like the unkept Harold have innuendos as their prefixes like pistols having double penetrating for having double bullets and thrusting for having a blade attached.

[@FLYINGWEINER]

Interesting.

[@cron1807]

Can confirm, I had a "Thrusting Rod" pistol once. A perfect combination of prefix and weapon

[@Samkonia4728]

Pro tip for borderlands 3: Play moze. Max out blue and green trees. Get a cryo flipper smg. Enjoy melting everything.

[@corrupted2]

This is like my 5th time watching this video. The quality of your videos are great and I think you're channel is super underrated. You deserve more subs, seriously.

being a bl ve, seeing someone call wilhelm hard is a surprise but also a good laugh for me

[@mr.cookie_wookie1935]

This is awesome keep up the good content

[@edenengland1883]

getting the trophies for TPS might be an issue in the future, "I welcome your attack, fool" requires beating a very hard arena without going into FFYL, "That helped, right?" requires getting 2 very rare claptrap action skills, and an achievement i dont know the name of requires beating a certain side mission with 4 people in the party

[@Shardyx]

"I welcome your attack, fool" is part of a DLC, so I wasn't gonna do it anyway, but the other 2 could definitely be an issue, thanks for warning me lol

I've been trying to get the Borderlands 1 Platinum but for some reason the PS3 GOTY edition counts the dlc trophies for the platinum and it's painful as heck

[@The_1_Dude]

For me the hardest trophy to get was Challenge Accepted ( Bl2 ) and Tresher Trashed ( Bl2 ). First one because of glitched challenges and second because I did it solo without anyone help back on PS3 days. Other trophies for these 3 games are easy at least for me.

worlds longest warrior kill

[@jakesorrentino7230]

This tells me Platinum is way easier than xbox achievements.

[@boyishdude1234]

As a Lilith main, it's harder to get kills with the Siren's action skill because it's a melee combat move, which doesn't do much damage even with the nova explosion(s) pitching in to help, and this becomes especially problematic at higher levels because your action skill does low damage but the enemies have way more health. In addition, as I recall, it does more damage the less time is left on your Phasewalk state, so it does more damage the more time you hold off on doing the melee attack, though I could be misremembering. TL;DR The enemy basically has to be at really low health in order for Lilith's Phasewalk to be able to kill them. It's a lot easier to kill enemies with the Action Skills of the other three characters, especially Roland's and (as I recall) Mordecai's.
