InFamous 2 (PS3) Trivia Quiz

Answer: electricity

Cole learns of his destiny to fight the Beast in the original "inFamous" game. He gets the information from "Kessler", who is actually a future Cole from an alternate timeline where the Beast won. Cole is a "conduit", a rare person who gains powers from Ray Field energy.

During "inFamous 2," Cole chooses to use the Power Transfer Device with either Kuo or Nix, adding cryokenetic or pyrokinetic powers to his electric ones.

Answer: Sly Cooper

The "Sly Cooper" franchise was started by Sucker Punch, the developer of "inFamous". The Sly Cooper patch is seen in several scenes where the camera shows the backpack close enough. The patch is also on the real backpack included in the Hero edition of the game. Some pre-order bonuses were weapon skins, including one that changes Cole's Amp weapon into Sly's cane.

The most obvious references to other video game titles are the names of the adult films playing at the cinemas, such as Assassin's Need (Love Too), Hey Low Reach, No Need For Speed, Epic Hickey, Little Big Unit, Call of Booty, Uncharted Love, and Solid Serpent: The Man: The Movie.

Answer: New Marais

New Marais stands in for New Orleans, complete with a neighborhood destroyed by a recent flood.

"Marais" translates to "marsh" in French, which is appropriate for the swamp surrounding the town.

Answer: seven

Using his electric powers to activate the blast cores grants Cole new powers. It also drains him, leaving him unconscious and vulnerable for a few hours. So after collecting a new blast core, Cole waits until he returns to Zeke before he activates it, so his friend can watch over him.

Answer: carrier pigeons

Cole must use his blast powers to knock the pigeons out of the sky and can then retrieve the messages. Poor birds - they are constantly circling and never landing until Cole blasts them. There are 29 pigeons, and getting them will earn the player the "Behind the Curtain" bronze trophy (for 50% of the dead drops) and the "Well inFORMED" silver trophy (for 100%). Unretrieved dead drops appear as a bird icon on the mini-map.

John White used small satellite dishes for his dead drops in the original "inFamous".

Answer: Rosco Laroche

Rosco Laroche (his first name is mentioned during an in-game television broadcast) is a rebel leader fighting the Militia. After Cole saves Laroche's niece, the rebels help Cole, but they also ask for more help in return.

Laroche reveals that Flood Town used to be known as Bellevue. Sucker Punch, the developer of the game, is located in Bellevue, Washington.

Answer: Vermaak 88

"Vermaak" means "entertainment" in Afrikaans and Dutch.

During the game, some of the Ice Gang soldiers undergo further mutations, becoming Heavy Soldiers, then Crushers, and finally Titans.

In a series of "good" side missions, one of the Ice Gang soldiers helps Cole, but then needs to be killed. Completing this series of missions will get the player the "Frozen Asset" bronze trophy.

Answer: green

UGC missions are green, the main story missions are white, and side missions (to control territory) are yellow. "Evil" and "good" side missions are yellow with red or blue, respectively. The player can place a single purple waypoint on the map, which is a good way to get to a specific destination.

Answer: Kuo

The Ray Field Inhibitor activates around the globe, curing people all over the world. Unfortunately, thousands of undiscovered conduits die as a result. Kuo is scared of dying and combats Cole, but eventually comes to terms with what is necessary for the greater good.

Cole is hailed as the "patron saint of New Marais" for his sacrifice. As Zeke transports Cole's body home, a lightning bolt strikes the ship. Perhaps this is not the end of Cole's adventures.

Answer: Kuo

Cole's friend Zeke Jedediah Dunbar betrayed him during the original "inFamous", but the two resolve their differences during the second game. Zeke is the one who created Cole's new melee weapon, the Amp.

Zeke eventually contracts the plague, so when Cole makes the evil choice to side with the Beast instead of trying to cure the plague, Zeke takes it personally. Cole must kill his friend to complete the evil ending.

Throughout most of the game, Kuo represents the "good" decision path and Nix represents the "evil" path, but for this last choice their roles are reversed.

As part of the evil ending, John transfers his powers to Cole. John dies and Cole becomes the Beast.
