Marvel’s Wolverine That’s Cheating Trophy Guide

Marvel’s Wolverine That’s Cheating trophy unlocks when you free the stuffed animals from the claw machines, and the cleanest route is in In the Shadows (Japan).

How to get the That’s Cheating trophy

Step	Action
1	At the start of In the Shadows, enter the arcade and interact with the machine at the back to reveal the hidden room.
2	Investigate the objects in the hidden room until the arcade fight begins.
3	During or after the fight, destroy every claw machine in the arcade with normal melee attacks so the stuffed animals are freed.

At the start of In the Shadows, enter the arcade and interact with the machine at the back to reveal the hidden room.

Investigate the objects in the hidden room until the arcade fight begins.

Where the That’s Cheating trophy happens

The trophy is deliberately worded like a puzzle, but there is no need to win an arcade minigame. The stuffed animals are freed by breaking the claw machines after the hidden-room sequence has moved the mission forward.

Because Marvel’s Wolverine That’s Cheating trophy is tied to a specific story sequence, it is easier to remember the mission name than to search every region. Once In the Shadows (Japan) is available in Mission Replay, you can return directly to the relevant part of the campaign.

Can you miss it permanently?

No. Marvel’s Wolverine That’s Cheating trophy can be cleaned up after the story through Mission Replay in the Nightmare Cabin. You might pass the interaction or environmental setup during a normal playthrough, but that does not lock the trophy out of the save.

If one machine survives behind combat clutter, sweep the arcade after the enemies are down. The trophy only cares that the full set in that location is destroyed, and replay remains available later.

What to do if the trophy does not pop

For Marvel’s Wolverine That’s Cheating trophy, make sure the game has actually registered the full requirement rather than only part of it. Contextual trophies often wait for the interaction, enemy defeat or destruction animation to finish before the notification appears.

If the notification does not appear, look for one intact machine rather than reloading immediately. Glass, lights and debris can make a damaged machine look finished when its full destruction state has not triggered.

Fast cleanup route

If you are already in the post-game, open the Nightmare Cabin, use the bed and select In the Shadows (Japan). Ignore unrelated collectibles unless the mission tracker shows something else you still need, then head straight for the trophy setup.

That makes Marvel’s Wolverine That’s Cheating trophy a short cleanup task rather than a reason to replay Marvel’s Wolverine from the beginning. Once it unlocks, return to the cabin and move on to the next contextual trophy or collectible gap.

Marvel’s Wolverine That’s Cheating trophy: Clear the claw machines before leaving the hidden arcade

Treat the arcade room as an environmental objective as well as a fight. Move around the space while enemies are still present and deliberately break each claw machine, watching for the stuffed animals to be freed instead of assuming splash damage destroyed everything.

If the fight ends and the trophy has not appeared, look around before leaving the area. A surviving machine is faster to deal with immediately than replaying In the Shadows later for one piece of scenery.

Marvel’s Wolverine That’s Cheating trophy is much cleaner when the claw machines are treated as the room objective before the arcade fight is allowed to end.

Do the arcade destruction during the fight

The claw machines are in the hidden arcade room reached near the start of In the Shadows. Interact with the machine at the back to expose the area, then make destroying the claw machines part of the fight rather than racing through the enemies and leaving the room intact.

Use normal melee attacks and visually check the machines as you move through the encounter. The requirement is tied to freeing the stuffed animals by wrecking the machines, so breaking only scenery around them is not enough. If the encounter ends before the trophy appears, replay In the Shadows and repeat the room carefully.
