Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

Finish the prologue and accept command after the bridge battle. Secure Don't Touch This and keep the Blade Shard before leaving.

At the final bridge fight of the prologue, play on Daring or higher and prevent the Chaos Spawn from eating a cultist.

Save before the fight. Kill the cultists first, especially those beside the Spawn. Avoid damaging the boss through its feeding threshold while food remains alive. Let Abelard occupy it while the rest of the party removes cultists, then focus the boss.

Watch the combat log and reload if it consumes anyone. Confirm the trophy after the battle before replacing your pre-fight save.

Finish the Rykad crisis and leave the system. Save before the final Spaceport battle for Aviation Saviour. Keep the sword hilt from the Electrodynamic Cenobium.

Kill five enemies with one attack. I recommend an area attack against tightly packed weak cultists. Five separate bonus-turn attacks do not meet the requirement.

Cassia's Lidless Stare is a useful option after recruiting her on Eurac V. Position the cone over five enemies, weaken them without killing any, then attack. Save before engaging a suitable group so you can correct the positioning.

Defeat the Chaos Space Marine Aurora at Rykad Minoris Spaceport, on Daring or higher, before any evacuation shuttle is destroyed. This is the Chapter 1 finale, not the earlier cultist Aurora.

Save before the fight. Give your strongest attacker Officer bonus turns and focus Aurora immediately. Spread the party to reduce his burst damage. Address the supporting sniper if it threatens your damage dealers, but do not spend several rounds clearing ordinary enemies while Aurora attacks the shuttles.

Reload if a shuttle is destroyed. Confirm the trophy before accepting the chapter's closing outcome.

Finish the colony-reclamation storyline and Magnae Accessio on Dargonus. Complete Classified Information and speak to Nomos before ending Chapter 2. Keep a separate save before the ceremony.

Kill an enemy with an attack dealing at least 100 damage. A developed sniper, psyker or other focused damage dealer can do this well before the finale.

Buff one attacker, reduce the target's armour and use a strong single-target hit. Aim for one decisive attack rather than adding damage from several turns.

Win the first void battle when travelling through Furibundus at the start of Chapter 2. Use your weapon arcs and turn a damaged shield facing away from the enemy. This begins the counter for Void Wolf.

Reclaim all five original colonies:

The main reclamation quests lead to the last four. Foulstone is optional and easy to lose. Visit the monastery and take the world under your protection. Do not sack the monks and refugees for Heretical points. Its projects also help with Highrise and Master of Trade.

Confirm each world appears in colony management after its quest. Zarkov from The Infinite Museion is additional expansion content.

After restoring navigation in Tattered Spirit, open the Koronus Expanse map. Select a destination with no existing connection from your current system and use the option to chart a new route, spending Navigator's Insight.

Following an existing line does not count. Keep Insight for essential destinations rather than spending every point making early routes safe.

Complete World Shapers, resolving the main crisis on Janus during Chapter 2. Follow its reclamation quest through the final decision and closing ship conversation.

Before leaving Kiava Gamma, collect the cache and preserve the Heretical preparations for The Possessed Ship and Knee-Deep in Chaos.

Complete Flame in the Dark, resolving the main crisis on Kiava Gamma during Chapter 2. Follow its reclamation quest through the final decision and closing ship conversation.

Before leaving Kiava Gamma, collect the cache and preserve the Heretical preparations for The Possessed Ship and Knee-Deep in Chaos.

Complete Spiders in a Jar, resolving the main crisis on Dargonus during Chapter 2. Follow its reclamation quest through the final decision and closing ship conversation.

Before leaving Kiava Gamma, collect the cache and preserve the Heretical preparations for The Possessed Ship and Knee-Deep in Chaos.

Start a romance. This route uses Kibellah with Void Shadows, who can romance a Rogue Trader of either gender.

Recruit her, agree to the Ritual of Binding during Chapter 2 travel, offer to show her your world and have Janris organise the social event. At the party, walk with her, value her honest wishes and kiss her. Continue through Void Shadows.

This first romance trophy does not prove that the true-love ending is secured.

Escape Commorragh and return to your ship. Complete the injury, arena, Argenta and assassin trophies before leaving this chapter.

During the first Commorragh arena battle, let the Wild Khymerae kill every allied gladiator. Do not give the gladiators an encouraging speech beforehand.

Save before entering. Keep your party back and end turns. Do not attack the humans, and do not kill the beasts while any gladiator lives. Heal or reposition your party without damaging the Khymerae. When all gladiators are dead, finish the surviving enemies and check the trophy.

Reload if the gladiators kill a beast too early. Later arena fights cannot replace this one.

At the beginning of Chapter 3, before first speaking to Malice, use Stimms on the Rogue Trader to clear the removable characteristic injuries: Hamstrung, Agony of Flaying, Deformed Bones and Darkened Eye. The number needed can vary with earlier torture checks. Hundred Wounds can remain.

Save on waking at the corpse dump. Search the junk piles with Awareness and loot the Ugly Beggar who stole your boots for a guaranteed Stimm. Other beggars can be manually attacked and looted for possible extras. Search all corpses and piles before entering the Pit. If random loot leaves you short, reload the starting save and search again.

Equip Stimms in a quick slot, use them on yourself and inspect the injury icons after each one. Skin Patches are not substitutes. Do not trigger Malice's healing conversation first.

Bring Argenta in the landing party for the Chapter 3 trap and keep her alive. Reunite in the Mangled Sector and recruit her back into your active party.

Before the second arena battle, hear her confession about Theodora. Do not turn her hostile or kill her before she speaks. Check the trophy before advancing beyond the arena storyline. Adding her after escaping Commorragh is too late.

Finish Chapter 4 and pass through the warp gate at Porta Septentum. This closes access to the old map. Finish the roadmap's departure checklist first.

Win 10 void combats during the campaign. Fight hostile vessels while exploring and travelling between colonies.

Improve your hull, shields and weapons through the Imperial Navy vendor, and assign suitable companions to your ship posts. With Void Shadows installed, begin Best Pilots in the Sector and Tactician on a Galactic Scale during these battles.

Complete one Tier V colony project. Starting it or finishing a Tier IV project is not enough. Higher tiers open as the campaign reaches Chapter 4.

On Foulstone, complete a Tier III project such as In Drusus's Footsteps, Crusade or Shrine, then Crucible at Tier IV and Reliquary at Tier V. Check displayed resource requirements and incompatible alternatives before committing. Keep the necessary production available, start the project and let travel advance time until completion.

I would finish this before the final gate. Preserve Foulstone from its first visit.

Complete 20 different orders, called contracts in the dynasty interface, in one campaign. Selling cargo to faction vendors does not count.

Open the contracts list, meet an order's displayed resource requirements and complete it. Check the finished list afterwards. Develop colonies and extractiums before clearing expensive orders, since commitments can restrict other projects.

This pool gives 20 without either mutually exclusive Foulstone diplomacy order:

For extra room, build Dirty Bureaucracy on Foulstone, Secret of the Winterscales on Janus and Giants on Kiava Gamma. During Magnae Accessio, pass Coercion to let Astartia Werserian present her project, and blame House Gaprak for Kiava Gamma. These unlock further orders. Keep a ceremony save and finish contracts before Porta Septentum.

Kill the Incongruous Defiler in Eufrates II's Machine Cathedral on Daring or higher, with all four plasma batteries intact. The difficulty requirement is not stated in the trophy description.

Save before the caged-psyker interaction on the approach to the boss. Do not release the psykers, since their attack can destroy a battery before combat begins. If a battery is already gone, reload a save from before that interaction.

Keep grenades, bursts, cones and other area attacks away from the batteries. They strengthen the boss's armour and deflection, so prepare armour reduction, Operative debuffs and powerful direct or psychic damage. Concentrate buffs and Officer turns on a strong damage dealer.

The Defiler restores its wounds when first reduced to zero. Finish its weakened second phase without damaging the batteries, then confirm the trophy. Reload if a battery was destroyed at any point.

In Chapter 4, land at the Abandoned Palace on the Ice World in Mundus Nullius. Leave Heinrix, Yrliet and Marazhai aboard ship, since they can prevent you from wearing the device.

Kill the Corrupted Noble, take the Halo Device and equip it on the Rogue Trader. I recommend saving before equipping it and reloading after the trophy, since wearing it has consequences. Finish this before leaving the old map.

Earn the other 40 base-game trophies. The 27 expansion trophies are separate from the platinum. However, include installed-DLC systems for No Stone Unturned, which has PS5 unlock reports around expansion releases.

I recommend Daring, Sanctioned Psyker and Heretical for the route below. With Void Shadows installed, Kibellah supplies a true romance that fits this campaign. Without that expansion, plan a separate romance campaign rather than assuming every base-game lover will stay through the Heretical conclusion.

Finish the campaign's final confrontation and ending. A non-standard game-over branch does not replace a campaign completion. Keep a save before the final landing for How Did It All End?.

Reach Zealot, 500 points, in one conviction and finish the campaign on Daring or higher. Votary at 200 and Fanatic at 300 are lower ranks. A companion's conviction does not count.

The route uses Heretical for Knee-Deep in Chaos. Choose its marked dialogue consistently, with the colony and companion exceptions in the roadmap. Check your character sheet at each chapter boundary. Useful project awards include Indulgences for Sale on Foulstone, A Cure for Sloth on Janus and Hallucinatory Chem-Thermae on Dargonus. Chapter 4 adds Holy Prey on Foulstone and Sacrilege of Creation on Kiava Gamma.

Large late opportunities include Footfall's Chapter 4 judgements, Quetza Temer and Eufrates II. If your sheet remains below 500, finish available conviction quests and projects before the final gate rather than hoping the ending fills the gap. Keep the pre-gate save until this trophy unlocks at completion.

Start on the Daring preset and stay on Daring or a higher preset throughout the campaign. Avoid lowering difficulty or changing individual sliders on your main save. Finish the normal campaign ending.

I recommend a durable front line, Cassia or another Officer for extra turns, a focused damage dealer and specialists for Awareness, Tech-Use and Demolition. Stack buffs and bonus turns on a strong attacker to remove dangerous enemies quickly. Keep manual saves before major battles.

If you experiment with easier skill checks, do it on a separate branch and reload the unchanged Daring save afterwards. Do not continue that branch as your completion run.

Accumulate 500 successful dodges across the party. Check that the combat log records a dodge. Armour absorbing damage and an attacker simply missing are different outcomes.

If needed late in the campaign, leave a weak shooter alive in a safe encounter. Put a high-Agility, high-dodge character in its line of fire, heal as needed and end turns while it attacks. Keep the resulting progress. Repeatedly loading a pre-fight save is not a reliable way to accumulate the campaign counter.

Land 500 critical hits with party members. Burst weapons and high critical chance give many opportunities during ordinary combat. Keep fighting optional encounters while exploring for No Stone Unturned.

If still needed late in the game, use multi-hit attacks with your best critical build. The requirement is hits, not 500 kills.

Destroy at least one vessel from each of five fleets:

• Pirates: opening Chapter 2 battle in Furibundus.
• Chaos: Hundred Dreams Crossroads.
• Asuryani: Aeldari Shadowhunters in Trinnitos.
• Drukhari: Chapter 2 encounters, with another opportunity at Gartrafal's Calamity in Chapter 4.
• Necrons: Chapter 5, including the attack after investigating Signal from the Planet on the Ice World in Debris of Battiada. More Necron vessels guard Epitaph.

Finish the first four before leaving the old map through Porta Septentum. Keep a checklist and win the encounters rather than bypassing their ships.

Travel into every system available in your campaign, including the systems added by installed expansions. Revealing a node is not the same as visiting it. Tick these off as you arrive:

• Cauldron: Aviorus, Cradle of Khepri, Cranach, Hundred Dreams Crossroads, Mundus Nullius, Nolla Septum, Omicron, Orsellio Prophecy, Pulvus Platinum, Silence of Mer-Segrit, Sotto's Tomb, System Speculo, Telikos Epsilon, Tenebris Aquae, Trinnitos.
• Cinerus Maleficum: Adermatt II, Agathus Archides, Lapidus Mortus, Last Chance of Cyrene, Litoribum Maledicta, Mortus Acies, Mundus Valancius, Narmer IV, Odaenathus XI, Pelium Solitas, Pillars of Viridice, Porta Septentum.
• Winterscale's Realm: Forgotten Twins, Langrenn's Belt, Latotian's Passage, Mu-Rho 79, Nameless Star, Palatium Stellos.
• Story visits: Rykad and Furibundus. Follow Yrliet's missing-kin trail at the start of Chapter 3 to reach Atlas Reach before the Commorragh trap.
• Chapter 4 additions: Emperor's Palm, Frozen Prince, Smaragdus Mundus, Gartrafal's Calamity, Raeth-Tawi.
• Chapter 5: Debris of Battiada, //-An#8954No01-KT//, Nephritis Dominium, Sanctum of Taaphetus.

Add the installed-expansion systems to that checklist:

Keep accepting companion quest messages. Emperor's Palm, Gartrafal's Calamity and Raeth-Tawi are tied to the later Cassia, Heinrix and Argenta routes. Raeth-Tawi becomes reachable after the Eufrates II events. Do not rush straight from that conclusion to the final gate.

Compare the old map with both checklists before crossing Porta Septentum. In Chapter 5, include Woe's Reach if The Infinite Museion is installed, then visit Sanctum of Taaphetus before landing on Epitaph.

PS5 unlock warning: players have reported a missing award after visiting the original map, with some unlocking it after completing Lex Imperialis's exploration. Visit every accessible expansion node rather than excluding it because this trophy sits in the base group. If the award still fails, keep the pre-gate and final-system saves and record your game version. These reports do not establish that buying an unowned expansion is a guaranteed fix.

Finish a true romance. Starting a relationship and sleeping together are not enough.

With Void Shadows, follow Void Shadows in full: the early trust choices, Chapter 3 reassurance, second Dargonus date and Chapter 5 Final Labyrinth. Keep Kibellah alive, keep the relationship exclusive and finish the campaign.

Retain saves before the crypt ritual, Chapter 3 departure, second date and Final Labyrinth. A late declaration cannot replace the early spiritual connection.

Complete The Possessed Ship, keep Nomos and Asclepius alive, and do not give Nomos away during The Infinite Museion.

Before the Epitaph landing, allow Nomos to use Asclepius's body and accompany you. Save before committing to the landing. Finish Epitaph and defeat the final C'tan confrontation, then let Nomos absorb the shard rather than destroying or surrendering it.

This is Nomos's final transformation. Discovering it aboard your ship is an earlier step. Earn Deal of the Century on a separate branch and reload before giving Nomos away.

During the Chapter 4 Void Shadows finale, save before confronting the Sire on your ship. Ask what it is, suggest negotiation and accept its offer rather than resisting its control.

This deliberately leads to a non-standard game over. Wait for the trophy, then reload the pre-confrontation save and defeat the cult for This Is My Throne!. Do not replace your main campaign save with this branch.

Finish the Void Shadows main quest by defeating the Sire and resolving the Genestealer mutiny aboard your ship in Chapter 4.

Start its investigations in the early ship quests, continue Ablution in Blood during Chapter 2 and answer the later mutiny events. At the final fight, clear nearby cultists and avoid grouping around the Sire. It calls reinforcements and becomes temporarily invulnerable at its health thresholds, so deal with the adds until it becomes vulnerable again.

Finish the post-battle conversation and return to the throne. Make the save branch for Fool Me Once before starting this fight.

This trophy needs Kibellah's true romance, not merely finishing the cult investigation. I recommend the Synchronicity route, which builds trust and a spiritual connection. It works with either protagonist gender.

Start and protect the relationship

1. Recruit Kibellah through To Become the Flagship's Blood. In Chapter 2, accept the Ritual of Binding, ask why it matters and offer to show her your world. Ask Janris to arrange the upper-deck party.
2. At Rituals of the Upper Decks, take a walk with her. Explain that life offers more than service, then value her honesty about what she wants. This is the first Synchronicity opportunity. Kiss her. Do not rush away somewhere private at this first party.
3. After clearing the Voidship Crypt, accept An Engagement in the Crypt. Agree to the stitched-eye ritual. Pass Awareness or Toughness, then Athletics or Willpower. Trust her and take her hand, gaining the second point and the spiritual connection. Save before this event and do not continue with a failed ritual.
4. During the later Rite of Blessing, allow the ritual and cut your palm as requested. Preserve the connection rather than refusing the rite.
5. After the Confessor/Nemesite events, she asks about her wavering purpose. Refuse to answer for her, allowing her to find her own answer. This is the third Synchronicity opportunity.
6. Bring her to the Chapter 3 trap. Rescue her from the Anatomical Opera and hear Survivor's Confession in the Pit. Reassure her that Commorragh cannot change your feelings. This is a fourth chance. Aim to take all four trust choices rather than relying on the minimum three.

Finish the romance

7. In Chapter 4, accept Janris's request for another private celebration and finish Death Has Whispered Your Name without killing Kibellah. Return to Dargonus, find Janris outside your personal quarters and begin the second date.
8. Notice that her formal behaviour is unlike her. Dismiss the master of ceremonies, take her hand on the balcony and ask what is wrong. Say that you want the real person, not a blade. Let her love confession finish. This is the award point for this expansion trophy.
9. Keep the relationship exclusive. In Chapter 5, answer Janris's message and complete The Final Labyrinth in your quarters. Enter the labyrinth with her, guide her through it, affirm your bond and let the closing scene finish. Complete the campaign for A Flame.

If the second date or Final Labyrinth lacks the true-connection outcome, reload a save from before the failed trust event. The first romance trophy alone does not check those hidden conditions.

On your first Freight Line exploration, mingle with the residents before completing its judgement.

Visit the flute player's gambling interaction near the Burnt Man and enforcers. Play fairly, try cheating, offer a button and leave. At the food queue, insist on eating the mouldslime soup yourself and pass the displayed test. Save before trying it.

Do these personally rather than sending an attendant. Check the trophy before leaving the Freight Line.

Install a fighter deck or bomber deck in an Arsenal slot on your voidship, replacing a torpedo option if needed. Look for attack-craft equipment in Imperial Navy stock as your reputation and Profit Factor improve.

During void combat, launch the craft and let them deliver the finishing damage to four enemy ships. Weaken vessels with conventional weapons, then stop firing at those targets until the craft finish them. Four kills can be spread across encounters in the same campaign.

Start this while plenty of optional void battles remain. Having four craft in flight is not the requirement.

Use all four special zone types in void combat:

• Accumulation of charged particles
• Asteroid field
• Explosive void nebula
• Gas and dust cloud

Inspect the named areas on each battlefield. Move your voidship into each new type during a fight and finish the encounter. Keep a checklist so visually similar clouds are not mistaken for different types. Trinnitos is an early place to start looking during its pirate and Aeldari battles.

Do this while exploring the Chapter 2 and Chapter 4 map. Repair between fights, since some zones damage the hull or disable weapons. Do not wait until every optional encounter is already cleared.

During Ablution in Blood, when Zacchary Weisz prepares the telepathic ritual, insist that Idira assist him.

Keep Idira alive through the earlier ship crisis and do not let Argenta execute her. A Sanctioned Psyker protagonist or Heinrix is not a substitute for this choice. Save before choosing the assistant, finish the ritual encounter and let the closing dialogue play.

Idira is unavailable to fight while assisting, so bring another capable damage dealer for the battle.

During Ablution in Blood, handle the blood-filled bath investigation personally:

1. When the incident is reported in your quarters, investigate it yourself rather than handing it to Abelard or the officers.
2. Follow the investigation through the ship and Plasma Drive Chambers. Inspect the suspicious evidence and speak to the relevant crew yourself.
3. When Nije captures the suspect, personally oversee the interrogation rather than delegating it.
4. Continue the cult investigation, attend the later rites and defeat the Nemesite during A Card Inverted. Finish the follow-up conversation with Kibellah.

Keep a save before accepting the original investigation. A later personal interrogation does not repair an earlier decision to delegate the bath mystery.

Complete To Become the Flagship's Blood, the early Void Shadows introduction. Respond to Kibellah's arrival, follow her through the Freight Line and the cult's trials, then enter the Temple of the Bloodspun Web.

Speak to the Vizsier, accept the ceremony and become part of the Web. Finish the closing dialogue. Check At Home Among the Poor and Slumdog Overlord while visiting the Freight Line, and begin the romance preparations before Chapter 3.

At the Freight Line, speak to Eddock Frensoe and choose to investigate conditions yourself, beginning The Lowest Walks of Life.

Explore the district, speak to the residents and complete the cult introduction. Return to Eddock and give your judgement about the district's future. Any completed final judgement is the goal, so you do not need a particular conviction outcome.

If you are already at the Temple, tell Eddock you still have business with him to return to the judgement. Check the trophy before leaving this early ship storyline behind.

Complete the Lex Imperialis storyline, ending with Death and Tithes and the Palace of Justice proceedings in Chapter 4.

Follow Solomorne's investigations from the Heartless through Fair Trade on Thassera and the later mission on Leethus. Resolve the orbital-station and convoy stages, then return to Dargonus for the trial. Keep Solomorne alive and available through these quests.

Before the final Dargonus landing, prepare The Defence Rests and make a manual save. Survive the closing proceedings and finish the expansion's resolution.

After recruiting Solomorne, save and speak to him on the bridge. Greet Glaito, ask about the dog and choose to pet him despite the warning.

Pass the displayed Lore (Imperium) check, then select the option to give him dried meat. Let the interaction finish. Reload if the attempt fails rather than using up the limited attempts.

Finish The Infinite Museion and recover the Warrant of Trade during Chapter 5. The Chapter 4 time loop is only an intermediate part.

Begin the expansion's ship events, open Seberian's study for Ancestral Traces and read its diary. Use Laria as the identifier at your personal cogitator on Dargonus and read New Horizons. Chart a route to Tear of Solar, investigate Zarkov and finish In the Footsteps of a Legend. Continue the colony and ship events until the Chapter 4 summons takes you through the Lost Tomb and into the Museion.

Inspect the galleries for History Buff and resolve the time loop. In Chapter 5, follow Stolen Right to recover the Warrant. Before the final Trazyn encounter, save for Deal of the Century and Main Exhibit.

On the main branch, refuse to give away Seberian or Nomos. After fighting Trazyn again, inspect his offered portal and refuse to enter it. Let him return you to the ship, then order the Warrant restored to its place. Confirm the trophy before continuing to Epitaph.
