How to Knockout With One Punch in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

To knockout an enemy with a single punch in the video game "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" on the PlayStation 3, you must first soften the target with gunfire. It is best to attempt this on earlier levels in the game, or on a lower difficulty setting because there will be fewer armored guards that may require more than one shot before they can be knocked out with a single punch. You need to get very close to the target enemy, which is dangerous, but doing this successfully multiple times will unlock trophies.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Load a game and approach a normal enemy guard, found in most areas. Do not attempt this on a significant enemy such as a large, armored guard with a minigun.

   • 2

     Press the "Left" button on the D-pad to equip a regular pistol, such as the 92FS (not a high-powered one, like the Desert-5).

   • 3

     Run toward the guard and hold the "L1" button down to aim. Point at his torso and then press the "R1" button to shoot him once. Release the "L1" button.

   • 4

     Stand immediately next to the enemy and press the "Square" button.
