Completed all Side Missions.

There are 49 Side Missions. They appear in the world as you progress through the game. It's a good strategy to run around after each Story Mission and listen to all the Conversations available and do all Side Missions before moving on to the next Story Mission. As this is how I did it, I don't know if they are missable or if they are like the Challenge Missions and never disappear.

Lunar Vortex

Grabbed 5 enemies with one Lunar Style Vortex Field.

This trophy requires that you grab and object or enemy while in Lunar Style and throw it so that the vortex created hits 5 enemies. Don't be confused by the Grab in the sentence above, as you Grab with a Stasis Field. The Vortex Field is an attack projectiles have when you throw them in Lunar Style. By grab it means trap 5 enemies (hit them) with one vortex.

I didn't do a video for this one as I didn't feel I had anything that showed doing so without doubt, and I'm recording on the PS4 itself at the time of making this guide and it doesn't show the trophy pop, so I didn't want anyone to feel they were misled.

As for WHERE you should do this, I did it in Story Mission 18 - Two Angels. You'll fight a bunch of Grigo in the park, and they are very close together. If you keep hurling stuff around at groups of them in Lunar Style you should get this eventually.

Ball of Destruction

Defeated 3 enemies with 1 Jupiter Style

When you grab objects in Jupiter Style they will automatically combine into a large ball of debris. To get this trophy just throw one of these so it kills 3 enemies.

I didn't include a video as I got this during the Chapter where you first get Jupiter Gravity, but if you're having trouble some areas with a lot of enemies close together are Story Mission 18 - Two Angels and Side Mission Diabolically Yours.

It may not be a bad idea to get above the 3 enemies you want to hit and throw the ball downard.

Surge of Power

Defeated 5 enemies with 1 Jupiter Style Surge Kick.

The Surge Kick is the Square attack you have while shifting gravity in Jupiter Style (R1 to float).

I didn't make a video for this one as I didn't think it was really necessary. I got this in the Chapter where you first get Jupiter Style. If you didn't and need a good area, try Story Mission 18 - Two Angels or Side Mission Diabolically Yours. Both provide 5 enemies close together.

Get above the group of enemies and fully charge (hold square) a Surge Kick and then drop into the middle of the group. It will explode and should kill them all.

Cat Claw

Defeated 10 Enemies with 1 Spiraling Claw.

Here's a video of where I did it:

This is in Story Mission 22 - Castle of Sand.

A better option may be Chapter 18 - Two Angels though, as you can get there faster. If you kick the Grigos a few times without killing them and run around hitting a lot of them to build your SP up you can do it there too probably.

High Wind Alert

Defeated 10 enemies within 10 seconds using one Gravity Typhoon.

Gravity Typhoon is performed in Lunar Style by pressing triangle when you have a full SP gauge.

I didn't make a video for this one because honestly I had some issues with it. I tried a variety of areas to defeat 10 enemies and did it many times without getting the trophy. However, the one time I finally got it to work was in Story Mission 10 - No Messiah, No Message. However I didn't feel the video was very clear as to actually showing 10 enemies defeated in 10 seconds, and as I'm recording on the PS4 at the time of these videos, it doesn't show the trophy pop like it does when you record with a Capture Card or Device.

Go through the mission until you save Syd and Cecie, and after that an alarm goes off and you get attacked. Here you need to build up your SP while trying to kill as few soldiers as possible, so only hit each one a couple of times. Once you have SP try to get most or all of the enemies on one side of you, then launch the special attack and move the camera around so you do as much damage as possible.

If all goes well this one should pop for you too. However, like I said I know I killed 10 enemies in 10 seconds in some other missions and it wouldn't pop, so I'm not sure if it's glitchy or what.

Event Horizon

Defeated 10 enemies with one Micro Black Hole.

The Micro Black Hole is the special attack (triangle) when you have a full SP bar in Jupiter Style.

Here's a video where I did it:


This takes place in Story Mission 22 - Castle of Sand

Another option is probably Story Mission 18 - Two Angels. Build up SP by hitting the Grigo but trying to kill as few as possible. Once you have SP get as close to a large group as possible and launch the attack.

Mining Instructions

Reached the 3rd Layer of the Delvool Mining Trench.

To get to the Delvool Mining Trench you must enter one of the other mining sites that is undergoing a Gravity Storm. Don't confuse this with a Strange Gravitational Phenomenon, which is for something else.

Once you have entered a mining site with a Gravity Storm, you need to look around for a purple/red type cloud. This will allow you to enter the 1st Layer of the Delvool Mining Trench.

To go deeper in the trench you have to find a tablet, like the ones that pop up in some of the various Story Missions. This will give you an objective to clear. Once you clear it, you can move to the next level of the trench.

To find the tablet, you'll want to generally look around the largest island/area of the mining site you are in. In my experience that was where I found them.

Do this to reach Layer 3 and the trophy is yours.

Kat Versus World

Defeated 1000 enemies.

There isn't really any trick to this one, as you'll just have to fight and kill enemies until you get it.

New Challenger

Played a Challenge Mission - See Gold Medalist for more.

Bronze Medalist

Completed all Challenge Missions with Bronze or better - See Gold Medalist for more.

Silver Medalist

Completed all Challenge Missions with Silver or better - See Gold Medalist for more.

Gold Medalist

Completed all Challenge Missions with Gold or better.

There are 20 total Challenge Missions you'll unlock through the game. Most appear after doing the various Side Missions.

Talisman Crafter

Merged a talisman 3 times.

You can merge talismans at Aki's place. This trophy doesn't require doing the same talisman each of the 3 times or anything like that. Just merge talismans together 3 times.

Saghassi Fan

Found all of Saghassi's Paintings in Jirga Para Lhao.

There are 10 of these in the Jirga Para Lhao set of islands. You need to find and take a picture of them. Here's a video of their locations:


Saghassi Maniac

Found all of Saghassi's Paintings in Hekseville.

There are 10 of these in the Hekseville set of islands. You need to find them and take a picture of them. Here's a video of their locations:


Tour Guide

Discovered all of the sites in Jirga Para Lhao.

There are 10 of these in the Jirga Para Lhao set of islands. You must find and take a picture of them. Here's a video of their locations:


Tour Conductor

Discovered all of the sites in Hekseville.

There are 10 of these around the Heseville set of islands. You must find and take pictures of them. Here's a video of their locations:


Camera Men

Completed the Men's Portrait Collection.

There are 10 of these total, 5 in Jirga Para Lhao and 5 in Hekseville. You must find and take a picture of them. Here's a video of their locations:


Smile for the Camera

Completed the Women's set of Portraits.

There are 10 of these total, 5 in Jirga Para Lhao and 5 in Hekseville. You must find and take a picture of them. Here's a video of their locations:


Pipe Coordinator

Placed 9 types of furniture in Kat's Pipe House.

Once you have the house you can put furniture in it. There are a couple of ways to get furniture. The first is doing Side Missions. You should be able to get enough furniture if you do all the side missions for this.

If you need more or want it quicker, the other option is to find treasures. There's a chance you'll get furniture in treasure chests, but I never saw any until I had unlocked the pipe house, so don't go hunting for furniture until then.

Sewer Aficionado

Discovered every mysterious warp manhole.

There are 21 of these total between the 8 sets of islands. Here's a video showing their locations:


Power Kat

Raised all of Kat's Powers to the maximum.

There's a pretty good chance this will be your last trophy, as it's the only one I still need as I write this. Raising Kat's powers takes gems. Unfortunately it takes more than 60000, which is how much you need for what will probably be your second to last trophy. See Gem Collector for more information on getting gems.

Unfortunately this is a grind trophy and there's little choice but to grind out the necessary jewels.

Rift Hunter

Defeated the five giant Nevi that appear with mining sight gravity disturbances.

This trophy requires that you defeat a giant nevi in each of the 5 mining sites. To do this you must wait until the mining site(s) you need are undergoing a Strange Gravity Disturbance. Don't confuse this with a Gravitational Storm, which is for something else.

Once the mining site(s) you need are experiencing the Strange Gravity Disturbance, head inside. There should be a Quest Marker that you wouldn't normally see that is pointing to where the enemy is.

Defeating one in each site unlocks the trophy.

You can't make a Strange Gravity Disturbance happen. You just have to wait until you are notified it's happening, or stop by one of the two mining people and see what's going on at the sites.

Gem Collector

Collected 60,000 precious gems.

This should be a silver trophy, and Power Kat should be a gold, as this 60,000 is only a little more than half of what you'll need to fully upgrade Kat.

You do not have to have 60,000 on you at once, it's 60,000 total. You can look in the Statistics to track your progress.

To actually collect gems there's basically 2 ways.

*I'm adding this later, but a really good place to farm gems after you have completed the game is replaying Story Mission 19. Right at the beginning you can find gems worth 10 that you can collect. Even better, you can grab the rows of gems, save your game, reload, and the gems will be back.

1. Mining ore in a mining site
2. Find them floating in the world

A third option, though limited is completing all the challenge missions. You can't farm them but there's a nice chunk to be had and it's another trophy you need anyways.

You would think mining would be your best option, but I find it worthless honestly. Even in a site with a high population and Rich Ore status, I only ever get gems worth 1, 2-6 at a time. This is SLOW. I actually recommend number 2.

You can find gems all over the place in each of the 8 islands. If you get the Talisman Cecie's Wish (I think from the Dream Doll, Angel Doll Side Mission, but if not probably another). This talisman makes it so you can hear a beeping noise when you are close to a gem. There are 2 levels of beeping, and it also helps you nail down the direction.

There are literally tens of thousands of gems in each of the 8 islands, and you can find gems worth 10 and 50 even. It's still a terrible grind, but in my opinion getting the gems floating around the various islands is way faster. Just be sure to look everywhere. On the bottom, around the sides, and buildings, they are literally all over the place.
