Comments: This is another easy trophy associated with Xenoglyphs.
Surgical Precision
Trophy description:Perform 5 successful Overloads in a row.
Continue “emptying the magazine” and overloading the weapon with perfect timing.
Adapting to Circumstance
Trophy description:Achieve Weapon Proficiency level 30.
Proficiency levels are similar to classic experience levels, as they are primarily earned for defeating opponents.
We can also find objects (eg.
calibrators) and unlock buffs to help us reach the next levels faster.
This will make it easier for us to level up further to get to reach the required level.
This means that she will only need two more levels to reach the required level thirty.
30 is the maximum proficiency level and the trophy will be unlocked as soon as we reach it.
We don’t need to additionally acquire level 30 weapons.
In-Field Training
Trophy description:Complete a daily challenge in Simulation Mode.
Comments: Simulation mode is initially unavailable.
We need to complete at least the first biome beforehand, i.e.
defeat the boss Phrike and use the key he drops to continue on to the Crimson Wastes.
It can be used to initiate simulation mode.
The trophy will be unlocked on the challenge summary screen.
For more information about daily challenges, check out theChallenge Terminalpage.
Hardened Shell
Trophy description:Achieve 200% Max Integrity.
Comments: As a reminder, integrity is the energy bar on the main character’s suit.
By default, its value is 100%.
We need to seek out opportunities to permanently extend our health bar (within a given cycle).
Ways to achieve this include finding particular Stat Augments or silphium deposits.
Some parasites may also increase our maximum integrity.
We suggest the following strategy to earn this trophy:
Note - after defeating the boss of biome no.
3, any progress we’ve made in developing the main character is reset (for plot-related reasons).
take a stab at unlock this trophy before reaching the lair of the boss Nemesis.
Risk Assessment
Trophy description:Finish Calculated Risk.
Comments: This trophy is associated with finding Malignant objects.
Interacting with them comes with the risk of armor Malfunction, which works similarly to a curse.
take a stab at collect / open “contaminated” items despite the risk of taking damage.
Adrenaline Spike
Trophy description:Achieve maximum Adrenaline Level.
Irreversibly Contaminated
Trophy description:Have 5 Parasites simultaneously.
Comments: The first time we learn about parasites is during the exploration of the Overgrown Ruins.
Attach subsequent parasites even if the stat penalties are burdensome.
Eternal Return
Trophy description:Die for the first time.
Alternate Fates
Trophy description:Retrieve 10 Scout Logs.
Comments: Scout logs are a punch in of collectible item.
While exploring the game, keep an eye out for dead scouts - they appear in random places.
Interacting with a scout’s corpse will always result in playing a new log entry.
Welcome Home
Trophy description:Complete the first House sequence.
The first such encounter will occur in a random part of the Overgrown Ruins.
Initially, the main character can’t go inside, as she’s missing the key.
We need to investigate the surrounding locations to get ahold of the key to the house.
Bring it to the house and investigate all the rooms in FPP mode.
Once the house exploration scene ends, we will unlock the trophy.
Sins of the Mother
Trophy description:Complete all House sequences.
Comments: This is the continuation of the aforementionedWelcome Hometrophy.
We have to complete the remaining house exploration sequences.
Visions of the Past
Trophy description:Complete a Xeno-archive set.
Comments: Xeno-archives are one of the unique location types in the game world.
They will be permanently added to the database, so they won’t disappear when the cycle is restarted.
You might need particular gadgets (such as the grappling hook) to reach some of the collectibles.
