Platinum roadmap
The Platinum is a full-completion challenge, not simply a reward for reaching the ending. This trails in the sky 2nd chapter trophy guide helps you protect quests, collectibles, combat records, and cumulative actions that can otherwise require a long cleanup.
Most story trophies unlock naturally as Estelle advances from the Prologue through the Final Chapter. The demanding part is The Invincible Duo, which requires every reward objective across quests, handbook records, cooking, fishing, books, chests, upgrades, orbments, and battle activity.
A thorough playthrough is the safest approach. Maintain rotating saves before major story advances, new dungeons, and region changes.
| Trophy | Rank | Requirement | Planning note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero of Liberl | Platinum | Unlock every other trophy | Final completion reward |
| The Invincible Duo | Gold | Complete all reward objectives | Your main Platinum checklist |
| The Wicked Liberator | Gold | Defeat Angel Weissmann’s final form | Endgame story battle |
| Quest Master | Silver | Complete and report every quest | Optional work matters |
| Battle Master | Silver | Record all 410 enemy types | Scan new enemies early |
| Treasure Hunter | Silver | Open all 566 chests | Track each dungeon carefully |
| Hell's Crown | Silver | Finish on Nightmare difficulty | Plan difficulty from the start |
The internal reward board is separate from trophies, but it is often more demanding. Since fully clearing it is mandatory for The Invincible Duo, use it as the best measure of Platinum progress.
Story, quests, and rank
Story milestones are mostly automatic. You earn Budding Bracer after the Balstar Channel training course, continue through one trophy per major chapter, and receive Trails in the Sky for completing the Final Chapter.
| Story milestone | Trophy | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Finish Balstar Channel training | Budding Bracer | Bronze |
| Complete the Prologue | A Young Girl's Decision | Bronze |
| Complete Chapters 1 through 4 | A Looming Shadow through Malevolent Mist | Bronze |
| Complete Chapters 5 through 8 | That Which Must Be Protected through Land of Turmoil | Bronze |
| Complete the Final Chapter | Trails in the Sky | Bronze |
| Defeat Loewe, the Bladelord | Silver Will, Golden Wings | Silver |
| Defeat Angel Weissmann’s final form | The Wicked Liberator | Gold |
Quests deserve much closer attention. Complete assignments promptly, then report them at a Bracer Guild counter before continuing. Quest Master requires every quest to be both completed and reported; the reward objectives identify 87 quests as the full target.
Use this routine throughout the game:
- Check the Bracer Notebook whenever a chapter begins or the story objective changes.
- Clear optional jobs before advancing major plot events.
- Report completed work promptly.
- Track wanted monsters separately, as they are easy to leave behind.
- Save before dialogue-heavy requests if choices may affect rewards.
A-Rank Bracer and Quest Master should follow from careful quest completion. If either is missing late in the game, inspect the quest log before assuming the story supplied enough Bracer Points.
Collectibles and exploration
Exploration trophies are the main reason a casual run may not become a Platinum run. You need every chest, fish type, book entry, recipe outcome, and Combat Handbook record.
| Completion category | Full target | Trophy or reward outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Quests | 87 reported quests | Quest Master and final reward objective |
| Combat Handbook | 410 enemy types | Battle Master |
| Successful dishes | 87 dish types | Three-Star Chef |
| Peculiar dishes | 70 dish types | Peculiar Chef |
| Fish | 26 types | Master Angler |
| Treasure chests | 566 chests | Treasure Hunter |
| Books | All book-page entries | Book Master |
Open chests immediately. The total includes normal and monster chests, and large locations can contain one-time detours. A chest checklist is especially helpful in lengthy dungeons. Early areas include Balstar Channel, Saint-Croix Forest, and Grimsel Fortress; Chapter 1 later expands through Aina Causeway, Sapphirl Tower, Gull Seaside Way, and the Old Schoolhouse ruins.
Some chest contents may vary under certain New Game+ carry-over settings, including an enemy-level increase option. The chest requirement does not change: the important thing is opening the chest.
Book Master requires full registration, not merely finding one series. Obtain each Liberl News issue and Gambler Jack volume when available, then verify the book pages. The reward list identifies 12 Liberl News issues and 14 Gambler Jack volumes.
Cooking has separate completion goals. Successful dishes count toward Three-Star Chef, while peculiar results count toward Peculiar Chef. Preserve ingredients for recipes you have not tested, and record both possible result categories.
Fish at new locations and after receiving new bait. Waiting until the end makes it harder to determine where a missing fish can be caught. For Battle Master, scan every new enemy before defeating it. Bosses, rare foes, and chapter-specific opponents are the greatest risks.
Equipment, orbments, and battle milestones
Many Bronze trophies are cumulative. Upgrade equipment steadily and use the game’s combat systems throughout the campaign instead of saving everything for endgame.
| Trophy group | Target | Practical approach |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon, armor, accessory, and quartz upgrades | 15 upgrades in each category | Upgrade gradually as materials allow |
| Quartz Collector | Every quartz type | Buy, find, and synthesize missing types |
| Master of Arts | Every art unlocked | Test quartz combinations |
| Orbment Master | Max slots for all 12 party members | Invest beyond the active party |
| Ultimate Artificer | Craft 3 Zemurian Ore weapons | Reserve ore for weapon crafting |
| Millionaire | Earn 1,000,000 total mira | Complete quests and sell surplus drops |
| Support Expert | Estelle support level 9 | Build support consistently |
The reward board can extend beyond some trophy thresholds. Earning an equipment-enhancement trophy does not necessarily mean that category is finished for The Invincible Duo, so keep checking the reward objectives.
Battle trophies reward varied play. Use Brave Attacks whenever openings appear, activate S-Crafts and arts in ordinary encounters, and do not ignore Quick Battles. Targets include 400 Follow-Ups, 200 Chains, 100 Bursts or Full Bursts, 200 S-Crafts, 200 arts, 250 preemptive Brave Attacks, 150 Overdrives, 250 Brave Rushes, and 450 Quick Battle defeats.
Kill totals are cumulative across Command and Quick Battles. Valiant Fighter requires 750 defeats, while King of the Battlefield requires 1,500. Shining Poms have their own requirement of at least 30 defeats, so prioritize them when they appear.
Two trophies may need deliberate setup:
- Eightfold Annihilation: Defeat eight enemies simultaneously in a Command Battle. Seek a crowded encounter and use a wide-area attack.
- Supreme Tactician: Reach a Tactical Bonus of x3.0 or higher. Build bonuses through favorable conditions, especially preemptive encounters and efficient victories.
Difficulty and final checks
Hell's Crown requires a Nightmare completion. Start on Nightmare if you want the cleanest single-run route, because clearing on a lower setting will not meet that condition.
Prepare for difficult bosses with current equipment, flexible quartz setups, healing supplies, and manual saves. Before the final sequence, make a separate save and inspect your progress screens.
Your final completion check should include:
- All 87 quests completed and reported.
- All 410 Combat Handbook entries recorded.
- Every successful and peculiar dish, fish, chest, and book entry completed.
- Estelle’s support at level 9.
- All 12 party members’ orbment slots fully upgraded.
- Every reward-objective category completed.
- Nightmare selected for the final clear.
Older achievement lists for prior versions may describe a smaller or different set of challenges. Use this edition’s reward board and trophy list as the authority, especially for The Invincible Duo and the broader collection totals.
FAQ
How many trophies are in this trails in the sky 2nd chapter trophy guide?
The list includes one Platinum trophy, two Gold trophies, several Silver trophies, and many Bronze trophies. Hero of Liberl unlocks after every other trophy is earned.
What is the hardest trophy?
The Invincible Duo is usually the longest task because it requires every reward objective, including quests, enemy records, chests, cooking, fishing, books, upgrades, orbments, and battle milestones.
Are treasure chests missable?
Yes. Treasure Hunter requires all 566 chests, including monster chests. Use a location-by-location checklist and save before story events that may close an area.
Can Hell's Crown be earned after a lower-difficulty clear?
No. Hell's Crown specifically requires completing the game on Nightmare. Choose Nightmare from the beginning if you want the trophy in the same run.
Should battle trophies be grinded at the end?
Use endgame grinding only for remaining totals. Regularly use arts, S-Crafts, Brave Attacks, Overdrive, Quick Battles, and Brave Rushes so most battle requirements complete naturally.
