 Ypres’ wake-up call 
Ring the bell 3 times in Ypres

This is during the Ypres level in chapter 2. You will go to the top of a building where you need to drop a large bell through several floors. To do so, you’ll need to find the gears and one of the gears is on top of the building. To get the gear, you need to hit the bell to shake it down. Hit the bell 3 times and you will earn this trophy.

 Helpful Laundryman 
Push all the laundry bags

This during the first mission of Chapter 3, Prison Camp. There is a laundry room at the left end of the street you start on. When you enter the building, there are 3 bags of laundry on ledges above you. You need to move the cart underneath each one and they guy on top will push the laundry onto the cart below it. Before you can initiate the sequence, you will need to get the soldier medicine. You get that by giving the guy suspenders (he’s located through the second floor door in the building with the cook (building just to the right). You get the suspenders from solving the water puzzle in the bath house on the back street.

 Brothers’ Keeper 
Save your entire platoon during the battle of Somme

This is during The Somme during chapter 3. You will jump into a tank at the beginning and your platoon will be running along side it using the tank as cover. You want to shoot the airplanes that fly above. They won’t always kill one of the members of your platoon, but they can. Once you have made it to the halfway point, you will need to jump down into a cave where a soldier will light a fuse. You must run up to the fuse and put it out with the X button. If you don’t, it’ll will set off the explosive and kill everyone.

Once you have put out the fuse, continue forward and you’ll need to use a grenade and throw it into the bunker above you. At this point, you will get back into your tank and you’ll need to continue destroying planes and bunkers where people are shooting at you. The trophy will pop at the end of the chapter, right before your one on one battle.

 King of the hill 145 
Shoot the German flag with the cannon at Vimy’s ridge

During the Vimy Ridge mission in chapter 4, you will come to a section where you need to blow up two guns with your artillery. The guns will be on the left and right of a building with a flag flying above it. On your end, you need to use your cannon to hit the flag. Nearby is a wheel that you can turn to aim the cannon, however, if you don’t make any adjustments to it at all and just fire the cannon, you will hit the flag and get the trophy.

 Healing Hero
Save Karl for the third time without making any mistakes

This is during the Saint Mihiel mission in Chapter 4. You can’t make a mistake during any of the attempts throughout the entire level, but only the final one is the most difficult. After being unsuccessful in your second attempt, you will need to get the medical box from the basement. Once you bring it back to him, you can save him for the third time. The sequence will start with a few quick time events before you start the standard heartbeat quicktime events we’ve done the whole game.

There will be three sets of quicktime events for the final healing of the level. The third section of this one is without question the most difficult one. You will need to be quick and some memorization won’t hurt. Try to focus your attention on the button prompt and use your peripheral version to judge the timing of the button presses. If you make a mistake, just let Karl bleed out and you will restart the sequence from the first set of quick time events without being locked out of this trophy, however, if you fail one of the final quick time event buttons near the end and save Karl anyways and you’ll have to restart the chapter. Thankfully, you can reach this section in just a few minutes.

Remember – you can’t make any mistakes at any point during the entire mission, including the beginning when you pull him out of the rumble. If you make a mistake on the first one but then go to the hospital and don’t make any other mistakes, just replay the mission up until that first time you heal during the mission and the trophy will pop then.

Here are  the sequences for the final attempt in the hospital after you get the medicine from the basement:

First One

 Taxi Racer 
Complete 1 taxi mission without damaging the car

Taxi missions are when you are driving in your car and you’re being bombarded by gunfire and bombs. There is one taxi mission in each of the first three chapters. Chapter 1 has a fairly easy mission called “Danger from above” Just remember, while there’s only two lanes, you can drive on the shoulder of the road on both sides. Just keep an eye on the ground for bomb shadows. The bigger and darker those are, the sooner they will hit the road and you don’t want to be under them when they do.
