Secret Trophies and Achievements
There are nine hidden L.A. Noire Achievements and Trophies, but five of those will unlock as you play, after each set of police desks have been completed.
Stab-Rite
Bronze/15G
During the case at Ray’s Café, a knife is stashed in the bin in the alleyway adjacent. Be sure to collect this the first time you visit the crime scene, rather than having to return for a second search.
Round Heels
Bronze/15G
During the homicide case when you visit the Bamba Café and speak to Dick McColl, have him give up the number plate for Celine Henry’s vehicle. When asking about the suspect being seen with the victim, answer truth and he’ll cough up the info.
The Fighting Sixth
Bronze/15G
At the scene with the bus shooting, interrogate Felix Alvarro correctly for him to give you additional information. You need to get both questions right, first reply with ‘Doubt’ then reply with ‘Lie’, using the Sniper Pocketbook as evidence.
Huckster
Bronze/15G
When speaking to Leland Monroe at Elysian Fields, you need to have him give you extra information by answering all questions correctly. In order of the first question to the last, these are the necessary answers: doubt, lie (with the flyers as evidence), doubt and then lie (with the cement quality as proof).
