Added intro, tips and tricks, basics and quest sections. 21 Jan 2011 - completed all other sections including trophies. 22 Jan 2011 - tidied up the guide, ready for submission I - Introduction ----------------- I1 - About the guide -------------------- Join with friends on an epic rock journey to save rock n’ roll. Featuring an impressive 90+ track set list, a totally redesigned rock-inspired guitar controller and a host of all-new gameplay features, living room legends and their friends can strum, drum and wail in the most immersive music videogame experience to date. (Official game description) I've been a huge fan of the Guitar Hero series since the begin, and I think warriors of rock is the best one yet. Thats why I'm writing this guide, to give help to others that are new to the game and to help experienced players on some tricky tasks. Anyway... n'uff said. Let's crack on. I2 - Terminology ---------------- GH - Guitar hero WoR - Warriors of Rock FC - Full Combo. This is when you hit 100% of the notes in a song without overstrumming. Strum - Pressing the strum bar to hit a note Alt Strum - Strum up and down during fast sections HOPOs - Hammer-ons and Pull-offs. HOPOs are notes that don't require you to strum, you just need to hit the previous note then hit the correct fret. Sustain - A note that is strummed and held down for a while. Tapping - Using 2 hands on the frets to FC tricky solos. A good example of tapping is the intro to Through the Fire and Flames on GH3 (expert) ... look it up on youtube. SP - Star Power Note Chart- The pattern notes appear during a song. SP Path - A specific method of activating SP to achieve the highest possible score. Scorehero - Scorehero.com is an awesome website where people document their scores on GH. Sightread - The first ever time you play a song. Squeezing - This is how you get the most points from a notes timing window. You activate SP as late as possible during a notes timing window, though still hitting that note. You then hit the last note before SP runs out nice and early, 'squeezing' it in during SP. BB - Basics for Beginners ------------------------- BB1 - Tutorials --------------- If you're new to GH the best thing you can do is get straight into the tutorials. Playing the game with extremely helpful commentary is the best way to learn. It'll guide you through the absolute basics; hitting notes, sustains, chords and HOPOs. BB2 - Controllers ----------------- The GH guitar has 5 frets, a strum bar, a whammy bar and It's wireless. The WoR guitar is designed to look heavy metal, and to tie in with the over-the-top quest. The drum set is made up of 6 components; 2 symbols, 3 drums, and a kick pedal. Most people find playing with the pedal a real challenge, as it's hard to keep 2 rythms going at once. You can turn on 'auto-kick' in the extras menu. The microphone ... well, uh ... you sing into it ... and you hit the top to activate SP. That's all I got. BB3 - Star Power ---------------- SP is a key element in GH. To achieve SP you must FC at least 2 SP phases, you can then fill the SP meter by FCing 2 more SP phases. This'll make your SP last longer. Alternatively, you can use the whammy bar to increase SP during sustains in SP phases. You can use SP to acheive a higher score by using a path. Or, you can save it up and use it to help you pass tricky solos. T - Tips and tricks ------------------- T1 - Using your pinky --------------------- When you're ready to hit medium mode the blue not comes into play and therefore so does your pinky finger. If you're are progressing from easy to medium you're most likely to find it quite difficult. The only way to improve is practice. Start out on the easier songs and get used to using your pinky. You might consider ignoring your pinky and just sliding across to the blue note, and although this would work fine I suggest against it. The reason for this is simple; when you start nailing medium mode and want to progress to hard the dreaded orange note gets involved. You won't be able to slide from yellow to orange. You'll need to slide from blue to orange with your pinky. T2 - Hammer-ons/Pull-offs ------------------------- Keep your eye out for HOPOs during a song, they're similar to normal notes except they have a plain white center. You don't need to strum them, as long as you strum the previous note and hit the next note with correct timing it'll register. During long guitar solos on higher difficulties you'll get a string of HOPOs, with the difficult phases you can even giving tapping a go. T3 - Hyperspeed --------------- Hyperspeed was a cheat in earlier versions of GH, but in WoR you can set it without entering any cheat code. What it essentially does is increase the speed at which the notes come towards you, but at the same time it increases the distance in between each note. Although the notes come at you faster, because of the increased distance inbetween each note you don't play the song at any faster pace. Most people find using hyperspeed easier as they identify each note quicker and easier. To activate hyperspeed go to extras in the band lobby, you can turn it on there and choose from 5 different levels - 1 being a slight increase in speed, 5 being ridiculously fast. Level 3 is my personal preference. T4 - Cheats ----------- The following cheats were taken from GameFAQs - thanks to kieryn who posted them :) Enter in the 'input cheats' located in game settings. Effect Code - Absolutely Nothing Green(8) Air Instruments Yellow, Red(2), Blue, Yellow, Green(3) All HoPo Green(3), Blue, Green(3), Yellow Always Slide - Blue, Green(2), Red(2), Yellow, Blue, Yellow (prevents trophies) Colour Shuffle - Blue, Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, Red, Yellow Focus Mode - Red, Yellow(2), Blue, Red, Blue, Green, Red (Black background) HUD free mode - Green(2), Red, Green(2), Yellow, Green(2) Invisable Rocker - Green(2), Red, Yellow(3), Blue(2) Mirror Gems - Blue(2), Red, Blue, Green(2), Red, Green. Performance Mode - Red, Yellow(2), Blue, Red, Blue, Green, Red (removes the note chart) Random Gems - Green(2), Red(2), Yellow, Red, Yellow, Blue. Super User 2 - Green, Blue, Red, Yellow(2), Red, Blue, Green (pre release version) Unlock all Characters - Blue, Green(2), Red, Green, Red, Yellow, Blue Unlock all Venues - Red, Blue(2), Red(2), Blue(2), Red Q - Quest --------- Q1 - Quest mode --------------- A new edition to WoR is Quest mode. It introduces a more story driven aspect to GH. I won't spoil anything for you, but in short, you have to assemble an army of rock warriors to defeat a bad guy. I must say I was skeptical about the Quest mode but it's a really fun way to unlock new songs.

Could there be a harder trophy? Well, fortunately, there is a way to make this much easier than you may first of expected. Go to GHTunes and search for songs called 133337, a few results come up, pick one and download it. You'll have a nice easy song to pass with a score of exactly 133,337 :D (Use expert!)

Pick one and FC it on expert. B18 - Lucifer's Accountant ---------------------------- Beat any song with a final score which is evenly divisible by 6 (Quickplay+) My advice would be to ignore this trophy, you'll probably end up getting it at some point.

B32 - Partial Perfectionist ----------------------------- Dominate any 4 chapters of Quest Same as above; Earn all the Power Stars from any 4 chapters of Quest. B33 - Motivated Improviser ---------------------------- Play 100 notes in a single GH Jam session. Just go into a jam session and play until the trophy appears! B34 - Poor Boys ----------------- Beat Bohemian Rhapsody as a band including at least two vocalists, with all on Medium or higher difficulty (Quickplay+) This is tough, mainly 'cos most people dont have 2 mics! Get some pals round and play it with them. (hopefully they'll have a mic) B35 - The Meek ---------------- Beat 2112 Pt. 4 - Presentation as a Standard band with 3 or more members, all on Medium or higher difficulty (Quickplay+) B36 - Gold Standard --------------------- As a Standard Band, earn Gold or higher on 2 Band Challenges in a single play of a song (Quickplay+) Get you and your buddy a nice easy challenge and play through, shouldn't take you long. S - Silver Trophies ------------------- S1 - Gem Hoarder ---------------- Hit a cumulative total of 150,000 notes (Quest) This'll take a while, but you'll get it eventually. I suggest you just go for the other trophies and this'll come. S2 - Ultimate Answerer ---------------------- Earn all Stars from any one song (excluding the Power Challenge) (Quickplay+) You just gotta pick an easy song, my suggestion would be 'Bleed it out'. S3 - Diamond Master ------------------- As a single player, earn Diamond on two or more Challenges on a single play of a song (Quickplay+) Easiest way to this for me was playing 'How you Remind Me' on expert bass. The 2 challenges are seriously easy.

Be patient. S9 - String Twins ----------------- Complete a song with only a Guitarist and Bassist, both earning the same score (Quickplay+) This trophy is ridiculous.... thank **** for GHTunes! Search 'String twins' and download the song of your choice, play it, and the trophy will be yours. S10 - Chosen One ---------------- Beat Fury of the Storm as a solo Drummer on Hard or higher difficulty (Quickplay+) The only advice I can give is practice. This is a seriously tough song, and, unless you are a good drummer, will cause you serious problems. If you really want this trophy, you're gonna have to put some serious practice time in. S11 - Hand Multiplier --------------------- Beat Black Widow of La Porte as a solo Expert Guitarist (Quickplay+, except Power Challenges) Save up all the SP you can and hold on to it, when/if you're in the red and think you're on the verge of failure activate. But again, practice makes perfect :) S12 - Giant Slayer ------------------ Beat Holy Wars...The Punishment Due as a solo Bassist on Hard or higher difficulty (Quickplay+) Same advice as above, hold on to SP untill you need it! This isn't too hard as 'Hand Multiplier' as it's not required to be done on expert, hard will do nicely. This song, however, is one of the hardest on the bass. It's also awesome :) S13 - Seasoned Competitor ------------------------- Play Pro Faceoff, Momentum, Momentum+, Streakers, Do or Die, and Perfectionist at least once each (Competitive) Easy... you don't have to win/pass, you just have to play it. G - Gold Trophies ----------------- There's only one! :O G1 - Ace Astrologer ------------------- Earn a total of 2000 Stars (Quickplay+) This'll take a while, just go for the other trophies and you should get close to 2000 stars. It may take you some serious extra hours with the axe though. P - Platinum ------------ Collect all the above!
