How to Get the Perfect Throw Trophy

The “Perfect throw” trophy can be earned by “successfully completing all throws in the Crowns game,” according to the trophy list. The rules of the game are simple, throw the pots through the rings without missing. You get four pots and four rings, there is no time limit, but only one chance to accomplish this feat. If you mess up, you’ll have to restart the entire section in order to try again. Below you can see exactly the exact way to aim at each of the four crowns in order to get the trophy.

While it may look like I am aiming underneath the crowns, this is an illusion, as in actuality, it is important to aim in a way that the pot will go through the center of the ring and land behind it, as opposed to aiming directly a the ring, which will cause the pot to fail to pass through the ring.
