Stage 1: Career Mode and Miscellaneous Trophies
Your initial focus should be on tackling Career Mode. This is where you’ll spend the majority of your time and naturally unlock a significant portion of the trophies. Alongside progressing through the career, it’s crucial to pay attention to the level-specific miscellaneous trophies. These often require unique actions within certain jobs and can be easily missed if you’re not aware of them. Here’s a roadmap to guide you through this stage:
Career Mode Roadmap:
- Start Career Mode: Begin your power washing journey and familiarize yourself with the game mechanics.
- Progress through Jobs: Complete each job in Career Mode, aiming for 100% completion to earn maximum stars.
- Purchase Upgrades: As you earn money, invest in better power washers and attachments to improve efficiency and access new areas. Focus on acquiring the specific washers and attachments required for equipment-related trophies.
- Level-Specific Trophies: Actively attempt the miscellaneous trophies associated with each level as you encounter them. This proactive approach saves time and prevents the need for extensive cleanup later.
- Star Collection: As you complete jobs, you’ll accumulate stars. These stars unlock access to new tools, upgrades, and levels, and are directly tied to several progression trophies.
Miscellaneous Trophies – Level Specific Guide:
Many trophies in PowerWash Simulator encourage creative play and exploration within each level. Here’s a breakdown of level-specific miscellaneous trophies to tackle during your Career Mode playthrough:
- Van – “Powerful Pressure Purist” trophy: Completely clean the Van using only the red nozzle. This is the most powerful nozzle but with the narrowest spray, testing your patience and precision.
- Van – “Good Dings to Come” trophy: Clean 95% of any job without fully completing any tasks. While not level-specific, the Van is a great level to attempt this trophy. Focus on lightly cleaning almost everything, carefully avoiding full completion of any single part.
- Backyard – “First Steps” trophy: In the Backyard job, complete all 12 stepping stones first. As the level begins, prioritize cleaning all stepping stones to 100% before moving onto other areas of the backyard.
- Playground – “StegoScore” trophy: At the Playground, roll the football up the stegoslide. Use your power washer to maneuver the football up the slide. Experiment with nozzle types and angles for the best approach.
- Bungalow – “Gutted” trophy: Complete the Bungalow gutters last. Ensure that the gutters are the absolute final objects you clean in this job. Monitor your tablet’s checklist to confirm they are last.
- Detached House – “Pave the Way” trophy: Complete the Pathway, Driveway, and Driveway edges first at the Detached House. These areas are at the front of the house, make sure to clean them fully before proceeding to the rest of the property.
- Shoe House – “Sole Task” trophy: Complete the sole of the Shoe House last. Similar to the “Gutted” trophy, the sole of the shoe must be the final cleaned component. Check your tablet to ensure it’s the last item remaining.
- Fire Station job – “Tall Order” trophy: Completely clean the Fire Station without standing on the scaffolding. This requires skillful use of extensions and nozzle angles. You can utilize window openings and ledges to gain height without using scaffolding. Jumping while spraying can also extend your reach.
- Skatepark – “Watermelon Shot” trophy: Push the ball out of the bowl in the Skatepark. Use a back-and-forth spraying technique to build momentum and push the ball out of the skate bowl.
- Fire Truck – “I Can See Clearly Now” trophy: Complete the Fire Truck windows, windscreen, and wing mirrors first. Prioritize cleaning all glass surfaces of the fire truck before cleaning any other part of the vehicle.
- Penny Farthing – “Impeccable Balance” trophy: Stand on the Penny Farthing for 10 seconds. Simply jump onto the top of the Penny Farthing and remain there for 10 seconds until the trophy unlocks.
- Treehouse – “Lantern Hunter” trophy: Complete all of the lanterns first in the Treehouse job. There are 12 lanterns in total, scattered around the treehouse at different levels. Locate and clean all of them before proceeding with other parts of the treehouse.
- Fire Helicopter – “Live by the Blade” trophy: Complete the Fire Helicopter blades first. Clean both the main rotor blades and the tail rotor blades before cleaning any other part of the helicopter.
- Carousel – “Merrily Go Round” trophy: Completely clean the Carousel without turning it off. Clean the entire carousel while it is in motion. This can actually simplify the job as the rotating carousel brings all parts within reach.
- Carousel – “Coconut Dodge” trophy: Knock over all of the coconuts. This can be done on any fairground level (Carousel, Helter Skelter, Ferris Wheel). Locate the coconut stall and use the red nozzle to knock all coconuts off their stands.
- Drill – “Head First” trophy: Complete the Drill head and tip first. On the Drill level, prioritize cleaning the drill head completely, followed by the tip, to unlock this trophy.
- Temple – “Gnome Sweet Gnome” trophy: Ensure the gnome is on the tower roof once the job is complete. At the top of the Temple, be careful not to knock the gnome off the roof while cleaning. Start cleaning from the top downwards, using weaker nozzles around the gnome.
- Washroom – “Delaying the Inevitable” trophy: Complete the toilets last. Make sure the four toilets in the Washroom are the very last objects you clean. Refer to your tablet checklist.
- Helter Skelter – “Shine Bright” trophy: Complete the objects with lightbulbs before anything else. This includes the sign (excluding poles), channel lights around the Helter Skelter, and the top ring frame. Use your tablet to highlight these specific components.
- Private Jet – “Suspicious Modifications” trophy: Complete the Private Jet laser and anti-gravity parts first. Locate and clean the laser and anti-gravity components on the Private Jet before cleaning the rest of the aircraft.
- Monster Truck – “Tyresome” trophy: Complete the Monster Truck tires first. Clean all tires of the Monster Truck before cleaning any other part of the vehicle.
- Ferris Wheel – “Best Buds” trophy: Ride around the Ferris Wheel with a gnome. First, find a gnome (one is located at the top of the Helter Skelter). Pick it up, head to the Ferris Wheel, jump into a carriage, place the gnome inside, and ride a full rotation.
- Subway Platform – “Blast from the Past” trophy: Complete the advertising boards first. Clean all eight advertising boards on the Subway Platform walls before cleaning anything else in the level.
- Ancient Statue – “Bucket List” trophy: Knock over four buckets at the Ancient Statue. Use your power washer to knock over the four buckets scattered around the level.
- Ancient Monument – “Delicate Excavation” trophy: Completely clean the Ancient Monument using only the white nozzle. This weakest nozzle will require patience. Stick solely to the white nozzle throughout the entire job.
- Fishing Boat – “All Hands on Deck” trophy: Complete the Fishing Boat bow, steps, and main deck first. As you start the job on the Fishing Boat, focus on cleaning the bow, steps, and main deck areas before moving to other parts of the boat.
As you naturally progress through the campaign and complete jobs to 100%, you will earn stars which contribute to progression trophies. Make sure to purchase new PowerWashers and equipment as they become available in the shop. Focus on acquiring these specific items for equipment-related trophies:
