For years I've been trying to get the 'where did they go trophy' as a solo survivor and wow has it been a nightmare. I was at the end of giving up on this trophy and the platinum, but I thought I'd post on these forums to try and find a full SWF. I had very little hope but I thought it was worth a punt.
I had one friend request , and this guy had been in the same situation as me, so we agreed to try and get this together. Immediate we jumped in. I grabbed a key and a shack hatch offering, and we let Jesus take the map wheel. We matched with two default survivors ( Adam and Claud) and I thought this would be a waste of a key. One dude who I've just met and two defaults, oh boy was I expecting pain.
Far from it. We cruised through the game popping all the gennies, only loosing a hook each. Now the hard part. The hatch has spawned, but will these default randoms listen? I found an Adam by a gate. Asked him to follow. To my amazement he actually did. I lead the little guy over to the shack hatch and told him to wait with a good point. He teabagged to acknowledge. I doubted he'd be there by the time I got back, but I didn't have much choice. My new random squad mate took the Oni agro and I went hunting for the Claud.
Luckily for me she was standing by the other gate. Jackpot, but will she follow me too? Like a little puppy she did. Lead her all the way to the shack and found Adam still there obediently waiting. Two down, just my new buddy to go.
Seconds later he says he's coming and I hear the terror radios. He tell me to pop it. I open that hatch up and hope we all go through.
1, 2, 3 and 4.
Boom the trophy pops first game.
Years of trying and after only one game with a really helpful guy, we made this look like the easiest trophy in the game.
Thank you dude, for restoring my faith is random strangers!

Having got my adept yesterday at red ranks (so 3 Irri and 1 gold need) I learnt a few tips I hope might help all of you too.
- Chaser is the most difficult emblem to get gold/Irri, best way to get this is to not use knifes to down, use them like the executioner. Run the Caged Heart Shoes, to prevent you falling behind in the chase, hit once or twice then fake into M1. Really helps hits on small loops.
- Again pretend to use you're knives at a pallet, the survivors know you need a bunch of knives, hit them once, then switch and hopefully you can get a slap in before the stun.
- Force starstruck to get use. Find the worst survivor on the team and turn them into slug bait. Slug and proxy to make sure they stay down. As soon as you've reeled in a better teammate, chuck that slug on the hook and boom the more difficult survivor is exposed reducing the amount of time you spend chasing the better teammates.
- Avoid long loops till you're down to two/three. Being a 110% you can't spend time here otherwise your gatekeeper will be toast.
- Spend a few shards on the black cosmetics, (Lavish Longline Blazer and Midnight Dye), really helped me close in on survivors if I moonwalked or came at an angle.
- Up against full SWF/Clicky Clicky giving you absolutely no chance and causing you extreme pain? Pretend to meme. Just long enough to lul them into a false sense of security. It'll get them off gens, and crowding round you. As soon as you chuck someone up with showstopper, it's time to have fun. Probably won't get you the adept, but at least it'll make those games a little less painful ;)
- Don't give up. Against smart survivors they will loop you all game and really take advantage of your movement speed, but eventually you'll get a few below average survivors in your lobby and you'll snowball your way to the adept.
Be aware that using these tips will make people pissy, but you're a 110% with no power and extremely low gen pressure. They only have themselves to blame for not cracking on with the gens and owning you.
FYI - Still found this one easier than release day Blight/Twins on console with all the nightmare bugs on their releases. Probably a close third, but you can make this guy work.
Good luck.

Rank 1 down to rank 3 and sinking fast, maybe when I hit rank 20 I'll start doing well with him...
So far it does feel like he's the least deadly character available. Even less than legion and I really wasn't expecting that level of bad.

Fully agreed at this time, trying every add-on with some sort of misguided hope one combo will at least let me get a kill or two...
Such a big disappointment after not having the option to play him on the PTB (PS4 player)

Feeling the chains may from caging up a beast and as beast is already taken/a common name lets go with these.
My favourite would be The Lycanthrope alternative names would be The Wolf/The Wereworlf/The Therianthrope.
Thinking something with a similar character model to the Demi (only hairier) with a ranged Chain attack, or Chains that block off a gen or window, with a charged alt after a certain amount of time that blocks off multiple things.
(Fingers crossed it's actually Chains from the Payday series...)
