  This is the toughest trophy in the game and will likely frustrate you before you manage to unlock it. Avoid all Zurks chasing you in Chapter 2 (you will see the prompt if one latches onto you). If you get caught, wait for the others to find you and die until you unlock No More Lives. After that, you can pause and restart the checkpoint if you choose.
  
  It took at least 50 tries for me to clear this the first time and another dozen for the second (not required).

  Thanks for the video! The tips were super helpful, I had tried ~20 times unsuccessfully before watching this then got it second try afterwards.

  Run as fast as you can and if you get caught pause the game and select to retry from the last checkpoint.
  
  You will probably need a few tries to memorize the way, there are some sharp turns and tight corners and it is good to know where the little critters come from beforehand.
  
  In general, do NOT run in a straight line. Always zig zag a bit, tilting your stick from left to right. They can not a at you correctly if you do that.
  If you come across a spot where the zurks always seem to get you when you tilt one direction, try the other direction in that spot.
  
  The entire track takes about 1 minute to complete. This is probably the hardest trophy in the entire game.

  Very difficult trophy, took me about an hour of trying to get it. I think the reason it feels random is that depending on the line you take, the Zurks might appear a fraction earlier/later on each run. I found on some runs there might be a place where they wouldn't even jump at me, presumably because I took an ever so slightly more direct route and was further ahead than I was previously.
  Main thing that helped me was rebinding Forward to X and Run to Square buttons, so I could just concentrate on doing left/right on the stick and not have to hold forward on the stick too.
  If you do rebind controls, make sure you have bound a button to Jump!!
  First time I managed to complete it I couldn't exit the sequence because I hadn't bound a button for jump, and got caught by the Zurks before I realised what I'd done. Then it took me another half hour to get a clean run again.

  @roja_85 YOU ARE MY HERO! After so much effort I found your comment, and decided to give it a try. Managed to beat it within 5 minutes of rebinding the controls.
  
  You are right, this becomes so much easier when you do not need to worry about anything except dodging left and right!

  I had most trouble with the first steps going up (after around 27 seconds). I was able to do it consistently by stopping moving for a second or two just after the previous group of zurks, allowing the steps group to start moving down. I found them much easier to dodge (on the right side) when I could see them. Here's a video of it:

  Ahh, the first real encounter with these little buggers. This trophy is quite annoying, with no real guidance on how to beat it. Just luck, with a hint of skill.
  
  

  Get ready to run!

  
  Run at full pelt and dodge these little critters as best you can! If you get caught you can reload the checkpoint or let the Zurk's kill you and try again. I recommend restarting just to be safe. It may take a few tries but eventually, you will understand the pattern and where the Zurk's come from, giving you a slight advantage. With enough perseverance, you should eventually snag this little gold trophy!
