Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark My Blade Has Tasted Better achievement/trophy, must be unlocked in Chapter 1: The Dark Spark, while playing as Drift.

To unlock it, you have to kill 25 Decepticons using Drift’s Blade Dash special attack. To complete one of the challenges in Chapter 1, you will be asked to finish the level using only Blade Dash attacks, or melee attacks.

The Blade Dash attack is a one-hit kill move, which means you can defeat all enemies very quickly, and unlock the corresponding rewards.

Tip: For increased efficiency, and because the Blade Dash is also a chained move, wait for your enemies to group.  

Achievement/Trophy Requirement: “As Drift, defeat 25 enemies with the Blade Dash ability.”

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark You Get Nothing, Good Day Sir achievement, is unlocked while playing as Bumblebee in Chapter 11: Investigation.

To unlock it you must slow down the reverse engineering project by finding three red containers located in three different zones. Their locations are revealed by the video guide above.

The first container is near the exit point in the first area, while the second is located in the right side of the large hall, which is the second main area. For the third container you have to look behind a crate, before you exit the facility.

The crate is on the right side while facing the said exit.

Achievement/Trophy Requirement: “Slow down the reverse engineering project.”

For Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark What Could Go Wrong achievement/trophy you have to reach the end of Chapter 7: Infiltration.

As Optimus you will be asked to rescue Cliffjumper without using the turret; however, the turret is an important asset in the upcoming battle, making the achievement/trophy quite challenging.

To unlock it, first make sure you have three battle drones, to help you defeat your enemies faster. Next, the moment you start the fight, look above the turret and on the ceiling you will see two deactivated turrets controlled by Decepticons.

Destroy them before they are activated. Now, enter the turret but don’t kill any enemy because you will miss the achievement/trophy. After Jazz gets close to Cliffjumper, the enemies will start spawning from three directions. Stay close to Jazz and kill the Decepticons with rocket launchers first.

Tip: If the challenge seems too hard to complete, you can lower the difficulty level.

Achievement/Trophy Requirement: “As Optimus, complete the rescue of Cliffjumper without using the turret.”

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Tread Lightly can be unlocked while playing as Grimlock, and at the end of Chapter 13: Extinction.

For this specific achievement, you have to protect Optimus while he is trying to open a door and escape Downtown.

Thread Lightly can be a tricky achievement/trophy because you are asked to prevent Optimus from falling below 50% health. In other words, your goal is to defeat waves of enemies as fast as possible.

The Decepticons spawn from three directions, so make sure you stay mobile and move around. If you run low on health, try to execute your enemies, and don’t forget to keep your shield up.

Tip: Don’t switch to the dinosaur form because you will move slower, even if you inflict more damage. The achievement/trophy can also be unlocked on Easy difficulty.

Achievement/Trophy Requirement: “As Grimlock, prevent Optimus from falling below 50% health while defending him.”

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Sting Like A… is an accessible achievement/trophy you can unlock inChapter 10: Hunted, while playing as Bumblebee.

For Sting Like A… you have to defeat a sniper with a melee attack; however, the snipers are very fast and they usually jump on walls; therefore, you won’t be able to get close to them.

As you can see in the video above, the achievement/trophy can be unlocked when you enter the second area, trying to protect Drift.

When you exit the tunnel, take cover and the snipers will try to get close to you, to have a clear shot. Once one of them is close enough, perform a melee attack.

Tip: If you encounter difficulties, you can lower the difficulty level.

Achievement/Trophy Requirement: “As Bumblebee, defeat a sniper with a melee attack.”

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Spoils Of War is the third and final achievement/trophy for which you must find and collect Audio Logs.

Just like Somebody’s Watching Me and Make It Rain, to unlock Spoils Of War you have to find 6 Audio Logs that belong to the Veteran.

The Veteran’s Laments, or Audio Logs can be found while playing Chapter 4: Possession, Chapter 5: Hustle, and Chapter 6: Gates Of Kaon.

Chapter 4: Possession features 1 Audio Log collectible, Chapter 5: Hustle includes 3 Audio Logs, and in Chapter 6: Gates Of Kaon you can find the last 2 Audio Logs collectibles required for the achievement.

Achievement/Trophy Requirement: “Listen to all the Veteran’s laments.”

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Spectacularly Amazing is probably the most difficult achievement/trophy available in the video game.

It can be unlocked in Chapter 3: Getaway,  where you have to cross a large chasm using only 6 grapples. The chasm is the second area you will explore as Sideswipe and it also includes and Audio Log.

You must get the jumps in one try; otherwise, you will have to restart the whole chapter. It doesn’t work if you restart the checkpoint because the game tracks your challenges progress in your profile file, not in your save file.

If you don’t want to play the entire chapter again, when you fail, you can back up your profile and save the game exactly when you reach the chasm (before attempting to make the jumps).

This way you can try again by simply exiting the game and replacing the profile with the backup copy. However, if the challenge proves too hard for you there is a glitch/trick that you can try.

Make the jumps until you reach the next checkpoint, the one where Ironhide tells you that the bugs are everywhere (the jumps until the checkpoint are easier to do than the next ones). By now you should have used only three grapples. Make sure the game saves and then exit the game and replace the profile with the backup you made earlier.

Now when you resume the game you should be halfway through the chasm, but with zero grapples. So now you have three “extra” grapples to use if you miss a jump (only two are required from this point to the end of the chasm).

Tip: To unlock the achievement/trophy, watch the video guide above and make sure that you follow the same path and perform the same moves.

Achievement/Trophy Requirement: “As Sideswipe, get through the whole chasm using less than 6 grapples.”

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Somebody’s Watching Me achievement is similar to Make it Rain, because in order to unlock it, you need to find 6 additional audio logs, belonging to the Stalker.

The Stalker’s Observations or audio logs can be found and retrieved in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of the video game.

In Chapter 2: The Lost Vault you can find 3 Audio Logs, and the remaining three can be located in Chapter 3: Getaway.

The video guide above shows where to find the Stalker’s Observations in order to unlock the corresponding achievement/trophy.

Achievement/Trophy Requirement: “Find all the Stalker’s Observations.”

To get the Softly Softly Catchee Monkey achievement/trophy in Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, you must defeat Cliffjumper without causing collateral damage.

For this achievement/trophy it is a good idea to use the sniper rifle, because it inflicts more damage and you will have better precision.

At the end of Chapter 5: Hustle, you will eventually corner Cliffjumper, who will take cover on a bridge/balcony. There are two bridges he will use to get a better view on Swindle, and if you destroy them you will miss the achievement.

Tip: Take cover behind the rocks, and kill the enemies near Cliffjumper first, then shoot him without hitting the bridges/balconies. When he jumps down, you can change your form to deal with him faster.

Achievement/Trophy Requirement: “As Swindle, defeat Cliffjumper without causing any collateral damage.”
