Detailed Explanation of Each Trophy
Platinum – You’ve Given 110%
This is the platinum trophy that unlocks when obtaining all other trophies in the game. Make sure you have none pending before claiming it. Check off all challenges, faction missions, weapon challenges, collectibles, etc. Ideally, you do this at the end when everything else is completed.
Gold – The Outer Worlds 2
Complete the game on any difficulty. This is relatively straightforward: just finish the main story. Recommendation: do it on Normal difficulty on your first playthrough to ensure you finish the campaign without pressure; then you can complete the trophies on higher difficulties if you wish.
Silver – Hard
Complete the game on Hard difficulty. This requires you to select the “Hard” difficulty when starting the game or change it before finishing if possible. Make sure this difficulty doesn’t block other trophies or collectibles.
Silver – Very Hard
Complete the game on Very Hard difficulty. Similar to the previous one, this is the maximum difficulty. Consider frequent saves and a character prepared to endure better. If the game allows changing difficulty midway, you might be able to complete other challenges first.
Silver – Elemental Maelstrom
Kill a single enemy that has been affected by all possible types of damage. This means that the same enemy receives different types of damage (for instance: physical, thermal, corrosive, energy, radioactive… depending on the types present in the game). Plan to choose a strong enemy, apply all types of damage before finishing it off, and then kill that enemy for the trophy to register.
Silver – Flawed Hero
Accept 3 “Flaws” during character creation or by acquiring them through game mechanics. “Flaws” are disadvantages that give you extra points to spend on skills. Accept at least three different ones to fulfill this trophy.
Bronze – Level 30
Reach level 30. Simply level up through experience until you reach level 30 for your character.
Bronze – Welcome to Paradise Island
Land in the “Paradise Island” area. During the progress of the main story or exploration, you will reach this location; the trophy pops when you land there for the first time.
Bronze – Vexed the Vox
Infiltrate and escape from the “Vox Relay”. This is a main or side mission of the game. Complete the infiltration, escape, and the trophy will unlock.
Bronze – Desperate Times Call for Monastic Measures
Stop the conspirators of de Vries at the Alexandra Monastery. Follow that mission, identify the conspirators, prevent their plan, and complete the corresponding part for the trophy to register.
Bronze – Left To Your Own Device
Acquire the “Rift Anomaly Modulator”. During the game, you will find this item (or obtain it through a mission). Make sure to collect it to fulfill this trophy.
Bronze – Revive The Archive
Restore the archive to its functional state. Complete the mission or set of missions that involve restoring the archive, and complete all steps for the trophy to pop.
Silver – Capture The Archive The Hard Way
Take control of the Archive without backup. This special mission variation requires that you do not obtain help or external support. Make sure to meet the ‘no help’ requirements for the trophy to register.
Bronze – Never Seen
Kill 50 enemies using sneak attacks. This means approaching stealthily without being detected and landing critical or silent hits. Use stealth skills, appropriate equipment, and accumulate 50 kills of this type.
Bronze – Skilled
Raise a “Skill” to level 20. During character progression, you will internally improve skills; make sure to get at least one to level 20.

- During the first or second playthrough – Look for all collectibles, weapon challenges, and specialized kill challenges (sneak attacks, etc.).
- Dedicated playthrough on Hard or Very Hard difficulty – Complete on higher difficulty, perform faction routes, reach level 30, and pursue the Anti-Consumerist route.
- Final validation and platinum – Check that all trophies are unlocked, review collectibles, and claim the platinum. Congratulations!
Tip: save frequently, keep a tracking sheet of collectibles, ensure that no mission choice closes off areas or prevents collectible review. Some decisions may block or change factions, which affects faction trophies.
QA Section
Q: How many playthroughs do I need to obtain all trophies?
A: Generally at least two playthroughs: one to complete the story and many activities, and another on Hard/Very Hard difficulty or to fulfill specific challenges like not spending bits. Some faction routes may require a third playthrough if you make opposing decisions.
Q: Can collectibles be obtained after the story?
A: In most cases yes, the world offers exploration freedom, so you can review areas after completing missions. However, some choices might close off accesses, so it’s advisable to check them as soon as possible.
Q: Can I change the difficulty midway to get the Hard/Very Hard trophies?
A: It depends on the title and when you change the difficulty. Ideally, start the game on the desired difficulty to avoid issues. If the game allows changing the difficulty without trophy penalties, it may work.
Q: Is the Anti-Consumerist trophy very difficult?
A: Yes, it is one of the most demanding. Completing the game without spending a single bit requires strict planning, avoiding shops, not spending upgrades, collecting your own loot, and avoiding purchases. It is advisable to reserve it for a dedicated playthrough.
Q: Can I recruit and lose companions voluntarily for All for None?
A: Yes, you need every living companion to die or abandon you. This means you must at least recruit them, then allow them to die or abandon them. Ensure that the game registers the abandonment or death of the character.
