How to defeat 7 enemies with the Tripcaster in Astro Bot

Even though Astro Bot might appear as a simple game at first glance, it does get tricky and complicated from time to time. Team Asobi made sure to think out of the box as they designed different levels, filled with puzzles and bots to collect. Like every PlayStation game, this one also rewards you with trophies for certain activities, and among those, 'What a Trip' has emerged as the most challenging.

The game honors PlayStation classics and is sure to leave Sony fans delighted. You will encounter characters or items from your favorite Sony titles at different stages, making the experience even more engaging. What a Trip is based around one such item and is one of the last remaining trophies as you enter Astro Bot's fifth world, Feather Cluster.

Inspired by Sony's Horizon Zero Down, obtaining this trophy might prove challenging for people who don't know what they are dealing with. Don't worry, we are here to help you.

Here's how you can defeat 7 enemies with the Trip caster in Astro Bot

What is the Tripcaster?

While Tripcaster was a stealth weapon Aloy used in the Horizon games, it is a bit different in Astro Bot. You will find purple electrified tripwires in different parts of a level that will damage whoever steps on them.

Likewise, when exploring the Machine Learning level in the game's fifth world, you will stumble upon three Tripcaster lines surrounded by seven enemies who aren't dumb enough to walk straight toward their deaths. The trick here is to make them follow you as you time your jump, forcing them to touch the Tripcaster wires and die.

However, it isn't as simple as you might think, as killing the enemies here with your bare hands, or even with your bow will cost you the trophy. You need to make the enemies charge towards you as you time your jump. Moreover, if you are careless, the enemies might push you into the Tripcaster, forcing you to restart the stage.

When completing this challenge, ensure that you're not triggering your hover jump as it will just complicate things further, costing you the What a Trip bronze trophy. In case anything goes wrong, simply jump off the nearby cliff to restart the level.

After successfully killing all the enemies using the Tripcaster, the What a Trip trophy will be yours, bringing you one step closer to glory!
