Introduction

Set amid the violence and corruption of post-World War II Los Angeles, L.A. Noire is acrime thriller that seamlessly blends crime-solving, clue-finding, car chases and shoot-outs with revolutionary new interrogation-based gameplay that will allow players to read

characters' emotions in order to reveal the truth. Players will take on the role of ColePhelps, a decorated war veteran, who rises through the ranks of the LAPD by solving aseries of gruesome murders and other crimes that bring him face-to-face with the darkheart of Los Angeles during Hollywood's Golden Age.

Note:Trophies not popping.

There have been reports that some trophies are not popping once you fulfill therequirements. There have been workarounds, including deleting the Game Data,


2/18

or restarting your PS3. There have been claims on collectible trophies not popping, so

it would be best to back up your L.A Noire Saved Data to make sure something like thisdoesn't happen to you. If there are any reports please post them. Trophies seem to notbe popping for some that have completed the game and/or have the 1.01 Patch installed.Trophies that are not popping are:

The Brass The Moose Lead Foot Round Heels

There are others that have a 1 to 2 minute delay.

RoadMap

Step One: Complete the story

L.A Noire is best played first without any spoilers, so I advise going in playing the game

without a guide, so you can get the full experience. The story-related trophies will pop up

as they should along with the desk-specific trophies that are needed for the platinum.

There are no missable trophies, so you can play the game without any worries and enjoy

the story.

Step Two: Replaying cases for the five star rating

Replaying cases will not erase any stats you may have already, it will only

update the current stats and add on to what is already there.

As you are playing toward the 5 star rating be sure to play any remaining street crime

cases. Street crime cases are linked to their corresponding department desk, see The

Long Arm of the Law trophy for full information.

Since most of the clues are still clear in your head for most of the cases, playing the

game again will help finding any clues you may have missed. For a 5 star rating you will

need to find all the clues, and guess all the questions that are important to the case to

correctly arrest or apprehend the suspect with minimal damage to the city. Hitting

civilians will earn you one less star than you would have received if you didn't hit a

civilian.

Out of all the requirements the most important is not causing damage to civilians by

shooting them or running over them with the vehicle. If you cannot complete the case

without causing damage to civilians during driving the car simply press and

hold button when near a vehicle to let your partner drive. Please note that having

your partner drive you around the city will not help you earn 2 trophies: Miles on the

Clock and Star Map (you have to drive yourself for the locations to be added and the

miles to accumulate.). For clues be sure to fully investigate it by pressing button or

tilting the or and holding. Make sure to take advantage of the outfits feature as it

will help you in your cases as they will improve your aim with certain weapons. Tochange your outfit to a better one you must first unlock it. There is also an outfit if you


3/18

sign up for the Social Club. If you need help finding any of the clues, use the Cases guide

linked below.

The only way to respond to street crimes is if you are driving a police vehicle and you

press when it's dispatched (to check if it's a police vehicle simply press and see if

the sirens will turn on). If you failed or died during any street crime, just drive back tothe location and it will resume from the beginning.

Step Three: CollectiblesIn this playthrough you want to collect all the items that you have missed in your firstplaythrough. Items include vehicles (95), landmarks (30), gold film reels (50),

newspapers (13) and finishing up any street crimes that you may have not been able toget to in the 2 other steps (40).

Please note that if you have discovered a new vehicle but have not reached a checkpoint(auto-save point) and leave the game, the vehicle will not be saved.

Reach 100% Game Complete.For this trophy you must complete all department cases, complete all street crime cases,and find all landmarks, vehicles, gold film reels and newspapers. Below are therequirements.

Story cases -- 21 -- 57% Street Crimes -- 40 -- 15% Vehicles -- 95 -- 15% Film Reels -- 50 -- 7% Landmarks -- 30 -- 3% Newspapers -- 13 --3%

Step Four: Clean up

This is where you go for all the trophies you may have missed or didn't go for while

playing the game. The trophies you may have not obtained are: The Long Arm Of The

Law, The City Of The Angels, Lead Foot, The Hunch, Public Menace, The Moose,

Keep A Lid On.

A Cop on Every CornerComplete a single street crime case.

This can be achieved by completing any of the street crime cases only (non-department

desk cases). Street crimes first start to get dispatched to your vehicle when you reach

the first department desk (Traffic). You have to be a Police Car, Ambulance or a Fire

Truck for the calls to be dispatched to you. Please see The Long Arm Of The Law for

more info and the list of street crimes for each desk.

Not So HastyStop a fleeing Suspect with a warning shot as an LAPD Detective.


4/18

There are times where Cole will have to apprehend a suspect alive, this will be the time

where Cole will take out his weapon and you will have to aim down the suspect. Once

your cross-hair is on the suspect you will see a meter start to fill the circle; it fills up

Clockwise. Once the meter is filled, a short cutscene will happen and Cole will shoot one

in the air, stopping the fleeing suspect. You can do this in most street crimes you do orlater in the game on a story case. You will get a chance to try this out when you are a

Patrolman.

Asphalt JungleChase down and tackle a fleeing suspect on foot as an LAPD Detective.

While chasing a fleeing suspect you will have the optional to tackle the suspect, but only

if Cole doesnt have his gun out. If Cole's gun isnt out you will need to stay close to thesuspect. Once you are close enough, you will be prompted to press rapidly; you will

see Cole start to run a lot faster, there will be a short cutscene once you get close to the

suspect to tackle him. The video below is from the case"The Golden Butterfly" on the

Homicide Desk.

Traffic Stop

Disable a Suspect vehicle with help from your partner.

You will need to have your partner on the passenger side of the car, once a chase breaks

out and you have to stop the fleeing car, let your partner shoot out the tires of the left

side of the car. Once that is done, hit the car and leave the car unusable.

You will be able to earn this trophy in The Fallen Idol case during the Traffic Desk.

During a section of the game, there will be a chase that takes place, all you have to do is

slow down and let your partner shoot the tires off the car that is chasing you. After your

partner has blown out the tires you will need to hit the car and have the car stop, leaving

the car unable to be driven again. If the people in the car are still able to shoot at you

just run them over with your car. Thanks PowerPyx for the Video.

The Straight DopeUse evidence to prove a lie as an LAPD Detective or Investigator.

There will be times where you will need to prove that a suspect or witness is lying about

the information they are giving you or withholding. Just use a piece of evidence when

you think you can prove a lie. Check the spoiler tag if you want to get this trophy out of

the way as early as possible.


5/18

One For The File

Find and inspect a clue as an LAPD Detective or Investigator.

The first place that this trophy can be achieved in is the "The Driver's Seat" case. The

location of the first place is the P.E. Freight Depot. At that location in front of the car

there is a yellow tag on the ground and there is a wallet and glasses. Select the glasses

and turn until you get the right angle and zoom in to see Stenzel. At this point you

should see on the bottom left corner of the screen New Clue: Glasses. Any clue you

find at that location will grant you this trophy. The trophy should pop-up shortly

after. Thanks MonsterAchievements for the video!

Golden BoyClear a case finding every clue as an LAPD Detective or Investigator.

There are a total of 7 to 19 clues that can be found in any case that can be helpful to

your investigation. If you need help finding any of the clues, press and scroll down to

show all clues. By doing that will show all the clues that are in that area. Showing all

clues will use one of your Intuition points. Magnify glasses will pop up on the mini map,

showing you the location of the clues in that area; you will need to press to pick them

up.

The case A Marriage Made in Heaven has 9 clues and they are easy enough to locate. If

you are having troubles finding the clues you can change the settings in the game to play

the music and have the controller vibrate when you are close to a clue. The 9 clues are:

Please see the video and info that is inside the spoiler tag.

The Plot Thickens

Find and solve an inspection puzzle.

This will be achieved at the second location of your first outing as a detective while on

the traffic case. The first chance you get to earn this trophy is during the "Driver's Seat"

case.

Lead Foot

Keep the needle above 80mph for more than ten seconds while driving.

There are a lot of cars that can go 80+ miles per hour. Once you get to the traffic case or

any case that you want, just turn on the sirens and drive as fast you can on a straight

road. Try your best to stay in the left lane, due to the cars always driving to the right


6/18

when they hear a car is police car is coming. If you are having trouble getting this

trophy, locate a rare car (marked as a question Mark (?) if you haven't found it yet or a

car if you did) on your map once you reached a certain rank (5,10,15). Using one of

those cars will net you this trophy very quickly.

Note: Trying to do this while on a case can affect your overall star rating if you hit anyother cars or pedestrians.

Miles On The Clock

Drive more than 194.7 miles.

Simply drive around in any vehicle. The miles stack from each car driven during the

game. Also interesting info as to why it is 194.7 miles, is that its because this gametakes place in 1947, the year of the highest crime rate in LA. If you want to know how

many miles that you have driven, press and locate the statistics section for more info.

Note: If you let you partner drive it will not count towards the total miles driven, so

make sure you do all the driving through the game until you get this trophy.

Dead Men Are HeavierShoot and kill a total of 100 bad guys.

This will come naturally as you complete desk cases and go for all the street crimes.

There are more than enough enemies in the game to get this trophy. You can also replay

cases to get any kills you may have missed. If you are having trouble getting kills, use

cover often, there is no time limit for any case or street crime you are on. So take as

much time as you can. While you are going for this trophy, change guns as often as you

can to work on the Roscoe And Friends trophy at the same time.

Roscoe And FriendsKill at least one bad guy with every gun.

You can use chapter select to get this trophy. There are only 9 guns in L.A Noire.

The ShadowTail a suspect without being spotted, in a single case.

Please see the spoiler tag for more info. Please note that if you fail once, you will need to


7/18

start the case over. There is another chance to get this trophy and that is when you are

going for The Moose trophy. Please see that trophy for more info.Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

The very first place that this trophy can be achieved is in the case The Driver's Seat on Traffic Desk.

Simply play the case until you reach the interview with Frank Morgan in Cavanagh's Bar. At this pointmake sure you guess the questions WRONG that way it will force a tail on Frank Morgan. For bothquestions simply select TRUE as the answer and you will have to tail Frank Morgan to his apartmentwhere Adrian Black is.

The second place that it can be achieved is on the case "The Fallen Idol" on the Traffic Desk. Youwill tail June Ballard until you reach a cafe. At this point you must get inside the cafe without alerting

her. At the entrance of the cafe press to go incognito and then move over to the booth with thenewspaper on the left of the entrance and sit. At this point the trophy should pop-up.

Star MapDiscover all landmark buildings around the city.

There are 30 landmarks in this game to find. When you find one, the landmark will beadded to your map and you will receive +5 XP. Once you drive pass a landmark, it willautomatically register as a landmark found. The location of the landmark will pop up on

your map. You can see the location as a camera when you press and look at the map.

To find the landmarks fast and easy, simply select the free roam session on anydepartment desk and look at the link below or the video and select the landmark you arelooking for as your destination on your map. Let your partner drive by pressing and

holding that way you won't waste time driving especially if it's across the map. Thisway you will get there in about 5-10 seconds and once at the location drive around thelandmark so that it registers. Just keep in mind though that if your partner drives itwill not count towards the 194.7 miles trophy.

The MooseTail Candy Edwards from the parking lot to her destination without using cover or goingincognito, except when staring or picking up the tail.

Please see the spoiler tag for more info. You can also earn The Shadow trophy at this

time if you have done so already. If you get caught, you will have start that scene

over by pressing , quitting and resuming the game from the interview in her

house, that will ensure that you get the trophy. Do notRetry!Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

You will earn this trophy during The Set Up case while on the Vice desk. You will end up leaving

Candys home and tailing her. You should never press the or buttons while in this objective ofthis case. Dont ever get into cover or go incognito (sit on a bench, read a paper (you start off thatway) or look at a window). You can hide behind a car if needed or a tree as long as you dont press

the to get into cover.

The best way to go about this trophy is to stay at a distance. Stay at least a block away, but keep herin view until she turns a corner. If the red blip on the mini map starts to blink, it means you have lostsight of her. Staying that far away from will not spook her nor will she stop to turn around and see ifshe is being followed.

Auto EnthusiastDrive 5 different vehicles.

There are five different desks, giving you five different cars to drive in - that is if youdont drive any vehicle until you reach the last case. Please seeAuto Fanatic for a list of

all locations and the names of each car. This will pop up before you complete the finaldesk.

Auto CollectorDrive 40 different vehicles.

Please see Auto Fanatic for a list of all locations and the names of each car. Most carsare easily found while on certain cases, so replaying cases will be a lot easier to do whengoing for the Auto Fanatic trophy.


9/18

Johnny On The SpotRespond to 20 street crimes cases.

Please see The Long Arm of the Law for more information for the names and whichdesk each street crime is related too. Street crimes are unlocked based on the casecompleted on each desk.

The Up and UpComplete a story case with a five star rating.

There are 3 factors that contribute to receiving a 5 star rating on a case. There are asfollows:

Vehicle Damage (any damage that you cause on vehicles you drive and hit) City Damage (any damage on poles, fences, benches, gas stations, etc; basically

none vehicle damage/civilian injuries) Injuries (any damage caused on civilians)

To ensure a 5 star rating make your partner drive you to every location and follow thecases guide for the rest. This will ensure a 100% 5 star rating guaranteed. Please notethat if your partner drives this will disable getting the Miles On The Clock trophy (drive194.7 miles).

To get 5 star rating you must collect all/majority of the clues, guess all/majority of thequestions correct (True, Doubt or Lie) during the interrogation and not hurt anypedestrians during the case. By using an Intuition point you can remove a wrongquestion during the interrogation or ask the community in social club. Intuition pointsalso help highlight evidence in a crime scene but keep in mind that you have a limitedamount of Intuition points.

In a crime scene when near clues your controller will vibrate if enabled and you will hear

chime sounds, which will indicate that there is a clue nearby. Press to view the clueand turn left and right to see it from a different angle. You can also further investigate

clues by pressing button again. When all clues have been discovered the music willfade and you can also look at your notebook to see if the location objective is crossedoff, which means you have found all clues. At the end of your case you will have a caseoverview that will show you what you missed under case notes (if something missed;clues or questions). As you rank up it will be easier to find clues. Detected clues arehighlighted on the map.

The BrassAchieve maximum rank

The maximum rank is 20. You can obtain experience during your investigations on cases.

Finding evidence and being a good interrogator will help you to move up in the ranks.


10/18

Each landmark gives you +5 XP towards the next rank. During questioning, for every

question correctly answered you will get +5 experience points. If you have The BadgePursuit Challenge (DLC) that contains 20 police badges, you will get +5 experience forevery badge obtained. Every collectible you find gives you +5 XP; you will need a total

of 1140 XP to get to Rank 20. With each rank you will get +1 Intuition point (maximumfive at one time). For every 5 ranks (rank 5, 10, and 15 only, not 20) you will receive

locations of 5 hidden rare vehicles and other ranks will net you some Suits. You cannotearn XP while replaying cases.

One Question Answered Correctly = +5 Obtain a Film Reel = +5 Discover a landmark = +5 Complete a Street Crime = +15 Collect a DLC Hidden Shield = +5 (DLC only)

If you want to know what rank you are and/or how much XP you need to achieve the

next rank, from the L.A. Noire screen press to start and then press to go to SocialClub (Where you will need to have a Social Club ID - make one at the Rockstar SocialClub site, you will also need to link your PSN ID to your Social Club ID).

Wooden OvercoatsBring down a total of 30 bad guys with head shots.

I advise going for this trophy very early in the game and go for headshots only. Thereare enough enemies in the game to get this trophy. If you are the type of person to use

free aim, this will be easy to obtain. Just use cover and wait until the person you want toshoot gets out of cover, Cole can take about 3-7 hits from most of the guns in the gamebefore he dies. You can replay a case after you beat the game if you haven't achievedthis trophy at that point.

Note: If you are having trouble taking too much damage use the Hawkshaw suit (takean extra dose of damage and stay standing).

The Third Degree

Correctly branch every question in every interview in a single story case.

You can easily get this trophy while a patrolman during the Buyer Beware case. Thereare only 6 questions that need to be asked during that case and can easily be branched.You will know when you got a question right, since Cole will put a check mark next toeach topic asked if correct, an cross if it is wrong. Please see the spoiler tag for more infofor 2 interviews done early in the game, while on a case called "Buyer Beware."

The HunchUse four intuition points in conversation with a single suspect, correctly branching eachquestion.


11/18

If you don't have enough Intuition points just replay an old case and you willstart off with 5 Intuition points. You will need to be Rank five (5), while at that rankyou should have at least four (4) Intuition points. Intuition points can be used to find allthe clues, get read of an answer or ask the community if you are signed online. This timeyou will need to use it during an interview, but you will also need to have all the clues

before you can go about getting this trophy. You can get this during your first interviewas a Traffic desk detective.

First make sure you have at least 4 Intuition points and a character with at least 4questions available to ask. The very first place where this can be achieved is in Traffic

Desk, case The Fallen Idol. Using during a interview will allow you to remove ananswer from the 3 given and a set of clues that are not related to the interview.

The Long Arm of the LawComplete all street crime cases.

Street Crimes are Desk specificand can only be complete during that Desk or in

the free roam of that Desk. There are 40 cases in the game. Once you have completedall the cases while on a specific desk, you will be notified at the top left, that all the casein this desk have been completed. While on the main menu go to cases, pick a desk andgo to the streets of L.A. in free roam. If you are having trouble finding a case you havent

completed yet, press and use the / to cycle through the street crimes that arecompleted or still need to be done.

Please note that if all the street crimes are not completed on a specific desk and you

cannot find them on the map in free roam (you do not see the Red-Man icon), simply quitthe game and restart the free roam of that desk. The reason the street crimes do notappear on the map is because they only occur during a certain time of the day. Example:If you have completed 9 out of 10 crimes and all 9 were day-time crimes the 10th crime

will not appear on the map until it becomes nighttime.

Red icons that look like a person is running are unassigned cases that are notcompleted.

Yellow icons are ones that you are on and have on your map as a point ofdestination.

White icons are the ones that are completed.Traffic Desk only -- 12 street Crimes

Public MenaceRack up $47,000 in penalties during a single story case.

There are several methods that can used to obtain this trophy; The easiest is to completeit with the Rare Vehicles because they respawn instantly.

How to get the case done quicklyYou can skip most of the interviews and you only have to find 3 clues to get to the end.Just get the receiptfrom the trunk, his address from his wallet, don't bother talking tothe guy at the rail yard, go to the house, get the matchbook, ask the wife about thereceipt and the matchbook then leave, and you're set from there as long as you dothe Morgan interview right (get the location without having to tail him). It takes

maybe 10 minutes to go through the whole case once you're satisfied with your carnage.


13/18

Thanks ReverendSID for the tip.

Method 1(One)Destroying the American La France Fire Truck six (6) times is the fastest method to rackup damage. Get the fire truck and reverse the truck into a gas station pump area. Thegas station will blow up and destroy the fire truck, leaving you unharmed. Make sure

you do not drive the truck into the gas pump head on, you will die and reset thewhole count. You can find the truck close to the Ad Vice police station, that is located in

Hollywood. Thanks KryptoniteDragon for the video.

Auto FanaticDrive every vehicle in the city.

There are a total of 95 cars for you to collect in the game. You do not need to drive any

of the cars, all you have to do is get behind the drivers sit for one second. If you don'tknow which cars you are missing you can go to the main menu and then scroll down 2

times and hit to go into the extras menu, from there choose the Vehicle Showroom tosee which cars you don't have yet. Cars that you can see are cars you have driven andcars that are faded out are cars you haven't driven yet.

HollywoodlandFind and inspect all gold film canisters.

There are 50 canisters in Los Angeles, all of them with names of films from the 1940s.

The City of the AngelsReach 100% Game Complete.

There are 6 factors that contribute to reaching 100% game completion. The factors are:

complete all story cases, all street crimes, collect all vehicles, collect all film reels, find all

landmarks and newspapers. Below are the requirements for each factor and thepercentage it contributes to 100% game completion.

Story cases -- 21 -- 57% Street Crimes -- 40 -- 15% Vehicles -- 95 -- 15% Film Reels -- 50 -- 7% Landmarks -- 30 -- 3% Newspapers -- 13 --3%

Story Cases can take anywhere from 45 min to 1 & 1/2 hour depending on whether cut-scenes are skipped. Each desk will have 3 to 6 cases that need to be completed before

progressing to the next. Five star case rating is NOT required for this factor, simplycomplete the case.


14/18

Street Crimes are desk-specific and are easiest to complete during free roam of the

corresponding desk. Street crimes are listed in 3 different colors: Red= need tocomplete; Yellow= currently working on it; White= completed and can be replayed atwill. In free roam you can select the destination of the street crime and have yourpartner drive you there to save time and complete the case. See The Long Arm of theLaw for full information.

Vehicles are found throughout the map and certain vehicles are more prominent in

specific locations on the map. The vehicles are sub-categorized into 6 categories: 2-door(25), 4-door (19), sports (8), police (9), service (19), hidden (15). See Auto Fanatic forlocations.

Film Reels are gold color and the hardest to find because they are very small.See Hollywoodland for all locations. There is an image in the spoiler tag.

Landmarks - There are 30 hidden landmarks around the city. Driving close to any ofthese adds it to the map. Finding all 30 landmarks will gain you 3%. See Star Map formore information.

Newspapers are easiest of all the factors and can be found during the natural course of

game progression through the department desks. There are a total of 13 newspapers andprovide a sort of behind the scenes story to the game. Newspapers cannot be foundwhile in free roam. There is an image in the spoiler tag that list where they are foundand what case they can be found on.

Shamus To The Stars

Complete all story cases with a five star rating

Tip From Rockstar: Finding it hard to earn five star ratings on cases? Turn offboththe 'Clue Hints' and 'Action Skip' options in the Gameplay settings, to instantlyboost your ratings by 2 stars.

Note: If you have the DLC cases installed prior to going for this trophy, you don't needto 5 star the DLC to get this trophy.

The fastest way to get each case done (unless required) is to let your partner drive to

each location. That way you get to each location sooner and cut the overall case time by5 to 15 minutes and not cause any harm to any civilians that can harm your overall star

rating.

Getting the majority of clues and answering all the interrogation/interview questionscorrectly is the best way to achieve a good rating at the end of a case. All clues andquestions are not required (you can forgot one (1) or two (2) and still get 5 stars) but

other clues can be key clues to solving the crime and choosing the right suspect tocharge.. There will be times where you will be required to pick a person to charge out ofmultiple suspects to get a five star rating, most times you will get a hint from the chief of

that department on who to choose, just pay attention when that time comes. If you needassistance see the links below.

You must get a five (5) star rating on all four police department desk's cases. See The

Up and Up trophy for 5 star requirements and cases guide below for list and description.The first 4 cases on the Patrol Desk and the last case on Arson are not requirements forthis trophy.

have been found. Also when you leave the location, press to see if the location hasbeen crossed out, if so there are no clues left, if it's not there are more clues there.
