General trophy information
- Elex 2 features 51 trophies. There's a platinum trophy (on the PS4 and PS5), 2 gold trophies, 5 silver trophies and 43 bronze trophies. They can all be obtained in singleplayer, as the game doesn't have a multiplayer mode.
- You can unlock the platinum trophy on any difficulty. Lowering the difficulty can make winning battles and completing quests much easier.
- Faction-related achievements may be problematic. Each faction is related to a separate achievement, which means joining faction A may block your access to faction B. Save the faction choice for later, first take care of the quests available regardless of your affiliation.
- The Creator and Destroyer trophies may also be difficult to get, as they're tied to your Destruction meter. Try to focus on one of them first, then after obtaining it start making opposite decisions to move the Destruction meter in the opposite direction.
- The trophies tied to unlocking skills can also cause some trouble, as the game forces you to unlock all the skills from each specific category. Try to hoard skill points instead of spending them immediately. After getting enough points you can buy out all the needed skills, get the trophy and reload a previous save file.
- Some trophies are tied to secrets and collectibles, like map pieces and audio logs. There are also some time-consuming achievements such as obtaining 100,000 items or collecting 50,000 elexit.
Platinum
How to unlock : Unlock all tropgies.
Trophy type: platinum
Commentary : Elex 2's platinum trophy can only be obtained on the PS4 and PS5. It's not available on PC or Xbox.
Civilian
How to unlock: "Nothing to Lose" completed.
Trophy type: bronze
Commentary: This trophy is obtained by progressing through the main storyline and thus unmissable. Nothing to Lose is one of the first quests in chapter 1 - we've described it in our walkthrough.
Festival-goer
How to unlock: "Billy Idol Concert" completed.
Trophy type: bronze
Commentary: Billy Idol Concert is one of the game's sidequests described in our walkthrough. Jax can learn about the concert from a radio announcement. You can listen to radio broadcasts in cities and other locations containing operational radios. The broadcasts can be related to various topics so you have to be patient. Hearing the correct broadcast will add a new quest to your journal (pictured above).
After receiving the quest simply go to the amphitheater near the Bastion where the concert's supposed to be held.
Note - This quest can unfortunately bug out, that is, the concert may not trigger after you reach the amphitheater. Try to listen to the broadcast until the end, and if you encounter this bug reload your previous save file. Unfortunately, a bugged quest won't fix itself on its own.
Commander
How to unlock: "Strong Alliances" completed.
Trophy type: bronze
Commentary: This trophy is obtained by progressing through the main storyline and thus unmissable. Strong Alliances is one of the later quests in chapter 1 - we've described it in our walkthrough.
Best Buddy
How to unlock: C.R.O.N.Y. U4 found.
Trophy type: bronze
Commentary: This achievement is tied to finding and recruiting a companion. C.R.O.N.Y. U4 is a drone you can find and recruit a bit to the east of the Fort- its location is pictured above. After approaching the area you'll automatically interact with the drone and have an option to invite it to your party.

Trophy type: bronze
Commentary: This achievement is tied to the factions inhabiting the game world. You obtain it by joining the Berserkers. It becomes possible after completing The Berserker's Trust quest at the Fort and telling Rat you want to join the faction.
Faction trophies may be mutually exclusive, as Jax is unable to be a member of all the factions at once. To avoid problems leave the topic of joining a faction for later, develop your character first by completing other, more available quests. Create a manual save file before joining a faction so you can later reload it and choose a different one (or to remain independent).
Cleric
How to unlock: Joined the Clerics.
Trophy type: bronze
Commentary: This achievement is tied to the factions inhabiting the game world. You obtain it by joining the Clerics. It becomes possible after joining the Albs, advancing through their ranks and offering Reinhold at the Castle to spy on the Albs for the Clerics.
Outlaw
How to unlock: Joined the Outlaws.
Trophy type: bronze
Commentary: This achievement is tied to the factions inhabiting the game world. You obtain it by joining the Outlaws. You can do so after joining one of the two other factions:
- Morkons - you must cooperate with the Claws first,
- Berserkers - you must follow Kriiton's path.
Regardless of your chosen faction, after reaching level 30 you'll obtain the Glory to the Rabble quest.

Hotshot

Trophy type: bronze
Commentary: This achievement is related to unlocking skills from trainers. In this case they're Combat skills. You must find the correct trainers, develop Jax's attributes and spend your skill points on skills.

Type of trophy: silver
Commentary: We've covered destruction in more detail on a separate page Destruction meter and talking to characters. To get this achievement you must make decisions and select dialogue options which reduce your destruction meter. The game always notifies you when your destruction meter changes, so if you made a mistake you can reload the game and choose different options.
Unfortunately, this achievement and the Destroyer achievement described below have opposite requirements. Try to focus on a single one first. After getting one of the trophies you can start trying to shift the meter in the opposite direction.
Destroyer
How to unlock: Destruction is over 90.
