Notes on Missable Trophies
Don't miss out on trophies in Judgment! This guide breaks down missable achievements by chapter, from finding cats to acing casino challenges and court cases.
Hey there! So, you're diving into Judgment and want to snag all those sweet trophies? Awesome! Some of them are tied to specific story moments, and if you miss 'em, you'll have to replay a chunk of the game. No worries, though – I've got your back. This section breaks down all the missable trophies by chapter, so you can keep an eye out without spoiling too much of the main story.
All Chapters - Cat Finder: This one's super important and pops up throughout the game. Whenever you're in a first-person 'Active Search' mode during the main story, keep your ears peeled for a little 'meow.' That's your cue to find a cat! There's a full list of their locations elsewhere, but just remember to look around whenever you hear that sound.
Chapter 2 - Casino Chips: So, you'll hit up a casino for the first time in Chapter 2. They'll give you 300 chips to start. Here's the trick: before you do anything else, save your game. Then, play your best to rack up over 600 chips. If you lose it all, you can just reload that save and try again!
Chapter 5 - Flashback Investigation: During a flashback sequence in this chapter, you'll be investigating a patient's room. While you're in the 'Active Search' mode here, make sure you check out the nurse – specifically, her face, chest, and rear end. Get thorough!
Chapter 7 - Entertaining a Customer: This one involves playing as a female character and entertaining a customer. You'll need to pick the right dialogue options. Here are the exact phrases you need to use to get the trophy:
- "My name is Saori"
- "Were you asleep?"
- Give Mika a Sign
- Get Close to Him
Chapter 8 - Gambling Password: Before you can enter a gambling establishment in this chapter, you'll be asked for a password. You need to get all three parts correct on your first try. The correct answers are:
- "Three times"
- "Can I talk to Moon?"
- "Chateaubriand, blue"
Chapter 12 - Timed Takedown: In this chapter, you'll explore an abandoned building, and someone you're with gets captured. Once you find them, a three-minute timer starts. Don't rush to beat up the bad guys immediately! Instead, wait until there are only about ten seconds left on the clock before you finish them off.
Finale - Court Case Evidence: In the very last court case of the game, you'll have to present evidence. This is the fourth time you'll be asked to present something during this specific case. Make sure you present the 'Hamura and Ichinose's Missing Link' evidence. Get that right, and you'll get the trophy!
That's it! Just keep these in mind as you play through the story, and you'll snag these trophies without any extra grinding. Good luck!
