The Arid Badlands is the first locale you roam about in when you start playing Borderlands. As such, many of the early missions are simply tutorials building up to some more complicated stuff. Odds are, you'll get this trophy before you even realize it.

You should be able to figure out what this means easily: just kill an enemy by jumping on their heads, like Mario. You can do this to most enemies, but the Skags in the early parts of the game are easiest. just get one to follow you, stand in one spot until it begins to attack, then jump on it. If you are having issues landing on them, try getting a friend to help: have your friend bait them, and just jump on them until they die. This can be earned at any time, and only takes around a minute.

For this, you must complete the challenge of the same name as the trophy. To check your progress, simply go to the Quest tab, then press triangle to switch to challenges, and look for this one. It's not too hard to earn at all, but might take some time to get the different elemental types.

Wanted: Sledge
Killed Sledge
65.97%
Common
The easiest way to bump off Sledge is to play peek-a-boo with him via the 2 doors. Open a door on the side that he's on, pump a couple of corrosive/flammable shotgun rounds into him, release your Hunter if using the sniper, and then duck back into the door before it closes. If you are lucky, you'll get him "ghosting partially through the door" and you can even damage him from the safety of the entrance without having to suffer any damage. Once he goes down, just clean up the regular extras scattered throughout the level in the normal manner.

Stay on the ledge. Use a powerful SMG or Machine Gun and aim for its eyes from up here. Being up here will nullify its ground pound attack. When it spews the corrosive sludge, strafe behind the boulder. Use the SMG to mow down the Rakks as well but focus on the Rakk Hive's eyes. If you're doing it in co-op, hide behind the boulder and flank him from the sides. Each player should focus on one side and the Hive should go down fast.

Destroyed the Destroyer
Killed the Vault Boss
47.91%
Uncommon
The final boss battle in Borderlands is incredibly easy. Simply stand near a pillar and shoot the Destroyer in the eye with any weapon at your disposal.Every now and then he'll fire off a laserbeam, so hide behind the pillar and you can't be hit. The Destroyer should die within a minute or two and you'll sustain no damage during the battle.

Speedy McSpeederton
Raced around the Ludicrous Speedway in record time
31.62%
Uncommon
In the lower left corner of the Dahl Headlands map is a racetrack that you'll visit when doing the Death Race Pandora quest. You can complete the quest independently of getting this trophy.

Whenever you enter the track by passing under the flags next to the building by the entrance, a hidden timer will start. As soon as you exit the track, the timer will stop. You'll notice the save icon flashing when you leave the track. If your time is short enough, you'll receive this trophy shortly after that save completes.

The best route involves a hidden shortcut outlined below:

First, hit l1 just before entering the track to boost your speed through the straightaway to the right. When the route splits, go left into the tunnel. Don't boost again yet as you'll need it in a minute. As you're going through the tunnel there will be a pillar in the middle of the road. Immediately past the pillar on the left, you'll see a path leading off. Take this path, go up the hill and you'll see a ramp. Now press l1 when you're at the ramp to boost over it. If you fail to make the jump, you'll want to exit the track and start over. But if you make it, continue on until you get to the exit and claim your trophy.

It also seems that you might want to stay near the right side of the exit (next to the building) as you are leaving the track. A few times I did everything but was on the far left of the exit and the save icon didn't flash. But when I was next to the building after having a clean run, the trophy popped.

To obtain this trophy on your own (without another player), simply beat any of the mentioned bosses in singe player but DON'T "turn in" the quest yet, so that the quest is still active with mission objectives completed. Now save, exit and start a split screen game with a second controller. Load the character you just used to beat the boss with as host and you automatically gain the trophy (even though you didn't kill the boss during the co-op game).

For this trophy, you must get into a duel with another human player. If you have not already earned it, you will also receive Duel-icious along with this trophy where you must simply win a duel.

To initiate a duel, you must melee attack another human player. They must then melee you back. This will initiate a "Duel". Simply damage your opponent enough without taking any damage yourself and this trophy is yours. You can arrange this with your co-op partner to let you win (by them just standing still), then repeat the process for them. 2 easy trophies :D

This can be an easy pick up if you have a friend near the "Crawmerax the Invincible" mission. If you are in the game and he chooses that mission, you both will be working on it. For me, it kicked me when he tried going into the boss, but he defeated him and got all of these crazy weapons, which he later dropped so I could pick up. Have him use those weapons to kill it again, and to give you the XP. Then when you rank up enough to use those weapons, use them to repeatedly defeat the Crawmerax and receive 50,000-70,000 XP. And if you are a level 1, you can rank up to 61 within 5 times defeating this boss. Note that you will also receive shields and other mods.

This can be found in the Sunken Sea level, you can see it as you drive down the road after entering.

You will find a few bandits in the village at the base of the bullet.

There is a set of stairs to the right of the vending machines (next to the "bar"), walk up the stairs and you will see a couple of arrows pointing to a letter box.

This only worked for me when I had $8000000, as this is how much the "tour" cost. and that is all there is to it, no actual tour, just a waste of money (well you get the trophy)

You will get this trophy most likely earlier than the rare collectible trophies, except maybe for 'It's so Realistic!'
To make it yourself easier and get all the rare collectibles without barely any effort is to go back to the MINAC boss, from the final story mission.
At first you want to take out all of his turrets, I believe there are 8 gatling turrets and 1 missile turret.
Then crouch between a 2 rock, it's a small gap. It's behind the bus and next to a white weapons chest. You can't miss it. You will be safe there, the claptraps won't come there, they will either be overrun by the MINAC or explode while not being able to see/find you. The MINAC also can't hit with his remaining weapons, but be sure to take out his turrets. You can stay there for a couple hours. But the game might freeze after more than 8 hours. I got a freeze after 1 evening and a full night, so to be safe, I wouldn't recommend longer than 6-8 hours. My PS3 is just 1 year old and I got a bit of lagg afters 6 hours. But after I defeated the MINAC the lagg was gone. After you defeat it, go pick up all the collectibles and check everywhere. They will appear on the strangest places. In the air, under the ground, stuck between objects. Keep looking till you can't find anything more, those collectibles are rare and you want them all.
It took me 3 'runs' of about 3-6 hours each. Maybe I was lucky, I got the last pizzas and bobbleheads without 9 seconds of each other.

This one is very time consuming, but you don't need to actually be playing. When fighting the MINAC, hide behind the bus and next to the rocks. You won't get hurt by the MINAC (though you could disable the turrets to be extra safe) and the kamikaze Claptraps won't get to you. Leave the PS3 on for a night (with a rubberband on the right analog stick if your controller will automatically turn off) and check back later. When you come back to the game, run around and pick up all the parts. The panty/fish/pizza drops are somewhat rare, so this may take more than one night.

This also works for collecting the oil cans and bobble-heads for the other trophies. Lastly, this makes collecting the parts for Tannis extremely easy.

If you need to fight the MINAC again, exit to the main menu, load your save, then head through the area again.
