Item description:

This walkthrough is listed in the order you should get the trophies to avoid random trophies popping out of order. If you want to use a save out of order to get easy/miscellaneous trophies faster, do so at your own risk.

Also, there are some duplicate saves already on the forum, but with four exceptions (as noted), I haven't tested them--these are all my own saves. I always provide saves that require the least amount of work possible, which may not be the case for other saves on this forum. I am not trying to downplay anyone else's work, I'm just being honest. Some people like to save as much time as possible, and that's what my saves offer.

For example, for What I Had to Do, my save pops the trophy as soon as the title screen loads--you don't have to play at all. And I modified the Arms Master and Survival Expert saves so that you only have to upgrade one of each; the weapons in particular take about 5 minutes to upgrade using other saves because of the (awesomely detailed) animations. In any event, feel free to use whichever saves you want!
