"He Who Dwells" Boss Battle
When you face off against "He who dwells," find and hang from a ledge on a platform near him that has a power replenish (do not use it yet, though). Keep firing at your foe (and his summoned angels, if you've reached that point in the battle) while you hang from that ledge. You are able to aim even while dangling, and if you are positioned correctly, none of his attacks will hit you even when he knocks down the columns. Once he is hit enough times, he dissolves and moves to another position, where he appears once more with additional angels at his side. When that occurs, the platform from which you are hanging will sink into the lava. As it does so, grab the power replenish and move to another platform, where you can repeat the cycle. Keep doing this until you win the battle.
It is recommended to try this against large groups of drug dealers. They are marked with a blue syringe symbol on the mini-map. They spawn randomly -- so you may need to run around for a bit to get them to appear. It also does not matter if you have good or bad karma. Even if you have maxed out your bad karma, the drug dealers will still spawn. They also continue spawning after completing Story mode and clearing out all DUP command centers in each district. Simply throw a Sulfur Bomb (unlocked at the beginning of the game) at them (Smoke Power), wait for a second after the bomb hits them, then perform a Comet Drop on them. To perform a quick Comet Drop, simply stand next to the enemies, jump in the air, and press Square. The more drug dealers there are, the better chance you have of hitting three at once. If you have good karma, you can also buy the "Corrosive Fumes" and "Giant Sulfur Bomb" upgrades. Those upgrades are not necessary, but they will increase the duration and radius of the Sulfur Bomb, making it slightly easier to get the "Cough Drop" trophy.
Easy "Double Smoke Stack Attack" trophy
Red air vents can only be used while the Smoke Power is active. You need to dash through two of them in a row by pressing Circle. You may also use the Glide ability (X) to navigate between the air vents. To use Comet Drop, you need to hold Square while in the air. A good location to do this is in the Uptown district, which is located on the southern island. This district has two DUP command centers, and the one on the left side of the map is a great place to do this at. The buildings to the south of the command center have lots of red air vents. You need to enter the first one on street level. Halfway up the building are additional air vents. Use Double Dash and Glide to navigate to the second vent, and you will be thrown into the air. Then, Comet Drop to the platform that holds the DUP mobile command. There are lots of enemies on that platform. The enemy does not have to die, he just needs to be standing in the impact zone. This can still be done after clearing the zone of enemies. Occasionally, you will receive a notice about "DUP Raids". The raids reset all enemies around DUP command centers. You will then see a red circle on the world map. Keep doing these raids until one takes place in the required location.
Easy "Drop Everything" trophy
After completing the game, you can still climb up the tower that Augustine was using as a command center. Return to the tower with smoke power, and climb the tower the same way you did in the mission. Once at the top, use video power to dash through the satellite dish to gain extra height. Once launched into the air, dash forward twice more to get over the road, and then press Square to Comet Drop. Make sure to hold Circle while dashing to get the most distance from each dash. Once you reach the bottom, you should get the "Drop Everything" trophy.
You must play through Story mode to unlock three different powers. There are four total powers, and they are marked with the following colors on your mini-map:
Concrete - Grey (fallen enemies; only available after completing Story mode)
Neon - Purple (neon signs)
Smoke - Brown (chimneys, destroyed vehicles)
Video - Blue (satellite dishes, TVs, and other screens)
To change powers, simply consume the respective power source. Look for a single enemy or kill a group of enemies, and leave only one alive. Then, shoot that enemy one time with each power, and kill him. If you have already cleared all areas of enemies, you can still get the "Hat Trick" trophy by waiting for a DUP Raid (shown with red circle on world map), or look for a patrolling vehicle.
To stay in the air for more than 45 seconds, you must first unlock the Video Power. It is automatically unlocked during the second half of the story. You also have to buy the "Airwave" ability from the Video skill tree. Then, go to the tallest skyscraper on the northern island. It is located in Belltown district in the north-eastern area of the map. Activate the Video Power, then climb up the building, and fly into a satellite dish to be thrown into the air. Once you are in the air, hold X to glide, and immediately press Left Analog-stick Down. The Airwave ability will activate, and you drop significantly slower. It should take well over a minute until you reach the street level.
Easy "Total CARnage" trophy
You can easily destroy five cars in five seconds using the Cinder Missile (Smoke Power). Fully upgrade this ability so you can carry five missiles. Consume smoke (marked with brown dots on the mini-map) to gain maximum missiles. Wait on a road until five cars are lined up in front of you. Then, shoot each car with a missile in quick succession. There are also lots of parking areas around the map. Cars spawn there randomly and sometimes you can find more than five parked vehicles in one location.
Call 1-844-HELP-DUP and you will get a pre-recorded message from Brooke Augustine.
Infamous Paper Trail Storyline
Exclusive web content and 19 free bonus missions become unlocked when you connect your PlayStation 4 online and start playing Infamous Second Son. You will be asked when you start playing to download the game's first patch which is 300MB and includes the bonus missions.
There is a store in the Paramount District named "Cole McG's Electronics," a reference to Cole McGrath.
Sly Cooper series reference
When someone tries to call you, the phone's ringtone is actually the theme song from the Sly Cooper series. At the start of the game, you will awaken from a coma. On your way to visit Betty, there is a table near the X-rays that has a copy of the Sly Cooper And The Thievius Raccoonus. Find Sienna Smith's Play Zone in Seattle, Washington. Look at the back wall to see a mural featuring three raccoons. The one on the left holds a bag of money, the one on the right has a gold-handled cane, and the one in the middle is wearing a blue cap. To the side, you should see simple drawings of Sly, Bentley, and Murray.
