Nour: Play With Your Food Rhythm Trophy/Achievement Guide : Fast, Slow, Diurnal and Silence

Published 2024-04-20
This game just dropped as part of the April 2024 PS+ Extra game catalogue and there is painfully little help out there about how to achieve some of the more obnoxious trophies/achievements so I scraped together what little information I could find to try and make a guide to help anyone out who is struggling to figure out what the heck to do. Enjoy!

Important PSA: In the video, at about 4:40, I say that I am about to show you the Slow combo. That is 100% INCORRECT. The combo showcased after I say that is the Fast Combo. The order I state at the 1:28 point in the video is the correct order.

Clarifying Statement about all combos - you should be hitting X (or whichever food spawning button you want to use) whenever you see a symbol pop up in the circle on my screen. In the video I said to always hit X on 4 other than the times when you hit X for all 4 counts. That isn't entirely true since you will have to hit X on 2 during parts of the Fast and Slow combos.

Remember, for the trophies/achievements related to the Fast and Slow Combos, you must complete them each 5 times in a row. If you make mistakes, that's fine, but if, for example, you execute a Fast Combo two times in a row and then accidentally perform a Slow Combo, it will reset your Fast Combos to 0 and you'll have to start over.

Here is the written out version of every combo in order of appearance in the video. The first count of 4 in every combo is the "set up". Remember, you MUST hit X on the first count of 4 even though it won't cause a symbol to appear. The combo WILL NOT start without doing so.
Slow Combo - 123X XXXX 1X3X 123X
Fast Combo, First Version/First Tempo - 123X 123X 1X3X XXXX
Fast Combo, Second Version/Second Tempo - Closed, Closed - Hit X Closed, Closed - Hit X Closed - Hit X Closed - Hit X XXXX (You need to be very fast when you start hitting X 4 times for this combo, the window of time for starting those final 4 hits is very small.)
Diurnal Combo - 123X 123X 123X 123X 123X
Silence - This one feels almost entirely luck based to me. I accidentally got it almost immediately when I started playing the PS5 version of the game and then when I tried to replicate it for this video it took me like 10 min of button mashing. It is most likely possible to time it, but I couldn't really figure out a reasonable way to show it. Maybe slowing the video down will help.

***NEW INFO: This is a fairly important aspect of the game that may be tripping you up. If you begin a combo, the Slow Combo for example, and you perform the first count of 4, 123X, but then you forget to hit X for the second count of 4, XXXX or you hit the button too late, and you just try to start the count over immediately, the game will register it as a continuation of a different combo rather than registering it as you starting over. This may lead to you thinking that the pattern has changed when it actually hasn't. For example, often times when I was attempting the Slow Combo I would do the first count of 4, 123X, but forget to hit X immediately on the next 1/4 beat (the next time the outer circle touched the inner circle) in order to start the next count of 4, XXXX. I would then immediately start the count over with that missed 1/4 beat and then hit X at the end, performing the setup 123X. But the game registers that as 123X 123X. It does not register it as 123X, start over, 123X. And you'll notice that 123X 123X is the beginning of the Diurnal Combo and the Fast Combo. So the game assumed I was trying to perform the beginning of those combos instead and resulted in an incorrect symbol appearing in the top left circle. So, if you mess up, it's best to wait for another count of 4 to pass by before trying again so you don't confuse yourself.

Also, feel free to slow down the video for any of the rhythms, it'll probably make it easier to execute the timing for everything since I was going at a fairly fast pace throughout the video.

There doesn't seem to be any difference between how the combos work on different levels so choose whichever level you want. Other than when you are attempting Silence. For whatever reason it seems like it's the easiest to achieve on the hamburger level.

Time stamps for each segment of the video and when I begin counting out the rhythms are listed below:

Slow Combo Clip : 3:42, Beginning of Count - 3:59
Fast Combo Clip : 4:42, Beginning of Count - 4:57
Fast Combo Second Version Clip : 5:11, Beginning of Count - 5:28
Diurnal Combo Clip : 5:42, Beginning of Count - 5:56
Silence Combo Clip : 6:10

There is no count for the Silence Combo because, like I said, it felt mostly luck based. However, I don't think it should take you more than 10 min to pull off. I did it three times, once entirely by accident and it didn't take any longer than that for any of those attempts.

I hope this isn't too confusing and that I gave enough information. I hope you guys find it helpful. If anyone has any questions feel free to reach out. Good luck!

  • If anyone is struggling with the Second Version/Second Tempo for the Fast Combo, I figured out a workaround. Load into whichever level you want, I recommend popcorn because I know it works, and perform the Slow Combo 5 times so that you trigger the permanent slow motion effect. DO NOT RESET THE LEVEL. If you perform the Fast Combo 5 times at this point, the slow motion effect prevents the tempo from changing so you won't get the Second Version of the Fast Combo even after your first two or three successful attempts. Check out Trophy Tom's channel for help with the various miscellaneous trophies and FrailtyYT's channel for an easy exploit for the Cornucopia trophy.

    Hey dude I’m having a lot of trouble on slow it keeps doing a different combo do you know why?
  • @moeszyslak260
    What are the combos? Can you type them in the comments. Like on which beat to hit for each cause it’s not very clear in the video
  • @PulpFictionized
    So what button do you hit? And do you hit the button on every downbeat of the measure?
  • @xfrankie420
    The fast is done. Thanks. But for the slow combo, i need more help because after have done the combo 2 times, the rythm change. Every hit doesn't 1 anymore but 2! So for doing "o" we need to hit after 2 close circle. I don't you have understand..
  • Thanks for this. I'm so bad at it and can't do it though. (weird thing is i'm a musician and rhythm is my thing lol)
  • Still have not gotten slow combo. I count 123X , but then for XXXX it doesnt seem like its working 😢
  • @Majeedz93
    thanks plz do the rest of the trophies.
  • @PulpFictionized
    So i did the 5 slow combo but no gay ass trophy popped up. Got any ideas? 😅
  • Honestly this is one of the dumbest mechanics I have ever seen implemented into a game. It's so inconsistent to pull off, and even if you try to do it with perfect timing, it doesn't seem to register things correctly. I thought that the 2.3 rating it had on ps5 was a bit exaggerated, and imagined it would be a simple trophy hunt. This is bordering on infuriating.
