Trophy and Achievement Roadmap: Guides

Step 1 - Play the Main Story: Focus on collecting 100 chests for the Treasure Seeker trophy/achievement. Ensure you gather Elementite and unlock all Meridians. Defeat all Nemeses encountered during the story and find all Li’l Cacti.

Step 2 - Side Quests and Ancient Ruins: Complete the five specific side quests with exclusive Nemeses: Death’s Portent, No Place Like Home, Menaces by the Manor, Calm before the Storm, and Devil in the Dunes. Save the Ancient Ruins for later in the story, as enemies are level 50+. Clear enemies outside the ruins to access an inner chamber with a Nemesis. Defeating this Nemesis grants a strong weapon and contributes to the trophy/achievement for finding all eight ruins.

Step 3 - Postgame Story (Hard Difficulty) and Black Rabite: After beating the main story, load your clear data to access the postgame story. Defeat the final boss, Aeve Zalaha, on Hard difficulty to earn The Spawn of Calamity trophy/achievement. If you save over a file completed on a lower difficulty, you must restart on New Game+. The Black Rabite, an optional superboss found in the final story dungeon, is also accessible postgame. It can be fought on any difficulty.

Step 4 - Cleaning Up: Address any remaining trophies/achievements. The Know Thine Enemy trophy requires a full bestiary. Register tricky enemies like the Lizardon (transforming Tonpole in Dura Gorge) and Shadow Zero-One (found on the Floating Isle of Ulul in the postgame).
