GHWR2. Star Challenges

Learn how to tackle all 12 Star Challenges in DJ Hero 2 for Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock, including Bass, Guitar, Drums, and Vocals. Get Gold, Platinum, and Diamond!

Alright, so you're diving into Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock and want to know about these Star Challenges, huh? Think of them as extra ways to show off your skills and rack up those Stars beyond just nailing the song. For pretty much every track, there are 12 challenges waiting for you, and each one can bag you up to 3 Stars: one for Gold, one for Platinum, and one for Diamond rank. It's a great way to boost your score and really master each song.

These challenges are usually split up like this:

• 2 Bass Challenges
• 3 Guitar Challenges
• 2 Drum Challenges
• 2 Vocal Challenges
• Standard and Non-Standard Band High Score Challenges
• Another Band Challenge (can be done with either Standard or Non-Standard Band)

Now, a 'Standard Band' just means no duplicate instruments – everyone's playing something different. A 'Non-Standard Band' lets you have duplicates, like two guitars or two bassists. Don't worry, though, no single instrument will ever have more than 3 challenges for a song, and there are never more than 3 band challenges total per song.

What if a song doesn't have, say, bass or vocals? No problem! The challenges for those missing instruments get spread out among the ones that *are* participating. The game makes sure no instrument gets overloaded with more than 3 challenges.

You can attempt these challenges on any difficulty above Beginner, but honestly, aiming for those Diamond rankings will be way easier if you bump up the difficulty. The songs are listed in the order they show up in the Quest mode, so you can just follow along.

Pro Tip: Don't get discouraged if you don't get Diamond on your first try. Sometimes it takes a few runs to get the hang of the specific requirements for each challenge, especially on higher difficulties. Focus on one challenge type at a time if you need to!
