Bronze

Complete a Standard Order for the first time.

Standard Orders are one of two 'side-quest' types in DS2, along with Sub-Orders. This order type will unlock after Order 10 in Episode 3: Drawbridge. You'll only need to complete a single Standard Order to unlock this trophy.

Gold

Complete 10 Deliveries, 10 Recoveries, 10 Elimination/Destruction standard orders with an S-rank in Casual difficulty or above.

Make sure to pay attention to the order type when at each terminal. It will tell you whether you are taking on a basic order, recovery, or elimination/destruction. For standard and recovery orders, make sure to keep the cargo from receiving any damage. For elimination/destruction orders, check to see how much damage Sam can take. Sam taking too much damage is the easiest way not to get an S-rank with these orders.

Bronze

Complete an aid request for the first time.

Fairly early in the game, you'll unlock the Aid Request system. This trophy refers to the in-game prepper/facility aid requests from other players. Complete any aid request from the list in the main menu section to unlock this trophy.

Bronze

Construct an online aid request sign for the first time.

While exploring the world, hold down on the d-pad to open the sign creator. Aid request signs are on the right side of the radial menu. Place any aid request sign this way to unlock this trophy.

Bronze

Build your first structure (any structure - signs, ladders, etc.)

You can literally place a ladder on the ground as soon as you are free to explore. Any structure will unlock this trophy.

Bronze

Build every structure type, including tools, deployable shields, electric traps, and any sign.

Place one of each object in PCC Lv2 (12 items), Sign, Electric Trap, Deployable Shield, Ladder, Climbing Anchor. Make sure you fully build the bridge and safe house.

Bronze

Connect your Q-Pid for the first time.

This will automatically unlock when Sam first uses the Q-Pid.

Silver

Connect all facilities using your Q-Pid

Connect all Preppers/Facilities in Mexico and Australia. There are 42 in total.

Gold

Maximize your connection level with all facilities.

Reach the five-star connection level with all 42 facilities in DS2.

Bronze

Activate an APAS enhancement for the first time.

Use APAS memory to activate your first APAS enhancement – DS2' s version of the skill tree.

Bronze

Send a like for the first time.

You can send a like to any tool, object, vehicle, structure – it makes no difference. You'll unlock this trophy the first time you do it.

Bronze

Receive a total of 2400 or more Likes for completing orders.

This trophy is for completing orders specifically. It should unlock automatically as you continue to deliver orders, receiving Likes each time.

Bronze

Receive a total of 50,000 or more Likes for completing orders.

Like the previous trophy, simply play through the game. You'll eventually reach 50,000 if you go above and beyond to take care of orders. If you are going for the five-star connection trophy, it will be virtually impossible to miss this trophy.

Bronze

Complete a VR Training program for the first time.

You can access the VR Training program on the DHV Magellan, as well as in any facility that has a Private Room. You have to complete a program for the first time to unlock this trophy.

Bronze

Read an SSS post for the first time.

When you receive an SSS notification in the bottom right corner, make sure to either hold the start button, or access the SSS through the main menu. The first time you open the SSS to see a post, you'll unlock this trophy.

Bronze

Use a screenshot taken in Photo Mode to decorate your private room.

Any time you use the Photo Mode to take a screenshot (you must take a screenshot in-game by pressing X, not the console's screenshot), it is saved to the SSS. When you enter a Private Room at any facility other than the DHV Magellan, you'll see a large wall with a digital image. If you look straight at the wall, you'll see the option to customize it. Pick a Photo Mode screenshot from the list of available images to unlock the 'Making It Your Own' trophy in DS2.

Bronze

Deliver a wild animal to the Animal Shelter. (Animals required to complete orders do not count.)

Once you unlock the Animal Shelter, you'll gain the ability to approach any wild animal, press square to capture them, and return them to the Animal Shelter's sanctuary. You must take the animal all the way to the Animal Shelter. You cannot entrust it to other porters. As noted, you must do this outside of an order.

Bronze

Deliver an albino animal to the Animal Shelter for the first time.

One option here is to simply keep your eyes open until you see an all-white animal in the wild. However, the best way to capture an albino animal in DS2 is to unlock the Pioneer, then complete his order that tasks Sam with locating and delivering an albino kangaroo to the Animal Shelter.

Bronze

Restore one section of road

Locate any single Auto-Paver in Death Stranding 2, and provide all required materials. This will unlock the trophy.

Bronze

Restore three mines.

There are nine mines in Death Stranding 2. Some are large and require far more materials than the smaller mines. The easiest way to complete this trophy quickly is to restore the Smoke Hill Mine when given the option early in Australia, then the Twin Valley Mine east of the F2 South Distribution Center. Then restore one of the large mines, like Mine north of F1 (north of West Fort Knot), or head east and restore the Savanna Mine on the island between the desert area and East Fort Knot.

Bronze

Restore and fully open a monorail line.

This requires you to restore every tracklayer along one full monorail line. There are three monorail lines in DS2, with the Northwest Line likely being the easiest to complete. This track runs from West Fort Knot, up to the Mine North of F1, then on to the Mine Near F3 Crater. Luckily, if you've connected the region to the Chiral Network, other players will contribute materials. Another option is to check your map to see which line has the most completed sections.

Bronze

Deliver emergency support for the first time.

After a Plate Quake, you'll see that many of the structures in the area have a yellow symbol above them. This denotes a structure that requires emergency aid after being damaged. Supply materials to these structures to repair them, which should unlock this trophy.

Bronze

Dig a hot spring for the first time.

After you unlock the Hot Spring Digger for the PCC Lv2, you can easily locate a good Hot Spring location by looking for the Hydrologist's aid request to dig a hot spring along the mountain ridge northwest of Heartman's Lab. If you pay close attention to the SSS, you'll also get messages from various preppers who mention the groundwater in the region. Either method is good for completing this trophy.

Bronze

Study the night sky for the first time.

To unlock the "Written in the Stars" trophy in DS2, bathe in any hot spring at night. You'll see the option to study the sky among the main list of options while using the spring. Look up at the constellations and enjoy them.

Bronze

Barter with another porter for the first time.

When you encounter any NPC porter in DS2, simply wait for them to offer one of their packages to Sam. Once they do, take it. Then, drop a different item for the NPC porter to pick up. As soon as they do, this trophy will unlock.

Bronze

Watch a live performance in your private room.

To unlock "A Private Show" in DS2, you must first unlock the music player and the Horizon Dreamer song. Once you have both, enter your Private Room. Turn on Horizon Dreamer, then look at Dollman. He should be dancing to the music. Speak to him, and he will ask if you have a moment. Say yes, and the performance will begin. You'll unlock the trophy at the end of the performance.

Bronze

Discover the truth of the Pizza Chef.

To unlock the Pizza Chef trophy in DS2, begin connecting with the Pizza Chef prepper like they were any other. After you reach the 2-Star level, you'll start seeing the Misanga lost cargo. We found it in the Armed Survivalist's camp north of the Pizza Chef while completing Standard Order 107. Return the Misanga to the chef and then watch one of Kojima's greatest cutscenes of all time.

Silver

Defeat the Lord of the Tar Lake

Once you reach Episode 8, you'll be able to unlock the Fisherman, a prepper who resides on the northern shore of the tar lake near the center of the map. You will have to reach a high connection level with the Fisherman, and eventually he'll send you to take on the Lord of the Tar Lake. Defeat the Lord of the Tar Lake boss to unlock the trophy.

Bronze

Solve the riddle of the Headless Riders.

To unlock 'The Headless Riders Unmasked' in DS2, you'll first need to establish a connection with the Ghost Hunter. He is found northwest of East Fort Knot. As you increase your connection level, he will ask Sam to help with several investigations. For this investigation, accept the order at The Ghost Hunter's terminal, then head to the quest marker while riding a Tri-Cruiser at night. This will initiate a long encounter, which will end with the trophy being unlocked.

Silver

Prevent Terminal Fort Knot from falling victim to a voidout.

This trophy is unlocked as part of the final investigation for the Ghost Hunter. Before you reach Episode 10, you want to get your connection level with the Ghost Hunter as high as possible. Once you get to the point that only a tiny silver of the fifth star is remaining, and it will not increase, it will be safe to move on and complete the main story. In the post-game, Sam will receive a message on the SSS from the Ghost Hunter asking for his help one final time. This will be the mission that allows you to prevent Terminal Knot City from falling victim to a voidout.

Silver

Arrive at the BT nexus in the F3 crater

At the northern edge of the map, you'll see a second massive crater lake that marks the former location of North Fort Knot. The best way to complete this trophy is to wait until you've gained access to the Coffin Board, which allows Sam to ride safely over tar. Once you've reached that point, head out to the edge of the crater. The trophy unlocked for us as soon as we reached the outer rim. If you continue into the center, you'll face a massive fight with two flying BTs.

Bronze

Reveal the truth about the Ghost Hunter

After you've reached a 5-Star connection with the Ghost Hunter, return to his shelter with the Drawbridge Q-Pid turned on (endgame mechanic). Use the terminal, then listen to Dollman's comments on the subject. This will cause the trophy to unlock.

Bronze

Capture a large BT for the first time.

Use an EX Capture Grenade to capture any large BT in Death Stranding 2. When the BT's health bar turns red, throw the grenade into whatever passes for its mouth. Then pick up the White Crystal that remains.

Bronze

Defeat the golden chiral creature

There are special golden chiral creatures that can only be found in a few areas on the map. First, you can find them near the tar pits southeast of the Architect. One has been spotted south of the Animal Shelter, and a small group can be found near the South Edge Mine.

Silver

Achieve a porter grade of 40 or higher in all categories

Make sure you take the time to utilize both stealth and combat techniques. The other three categories will take care of themselves as you progress through the game. Also, make sure to form all available Bridge Contracts, as it will help the Bridge Link category.

Bronze

Deliver a total of 500 pieces of cargo.

This is another trophy that simply requires you to progress through the game. You can actively try to pick up orders with high cargo counts, but you really don't have to if you are working towards the Platinum trophy. You'll easily hit 500 pieces while going for 5-Star connection levels with every facility.

Bronze

Deliver cargo weighing a total of two tons.

Load up as much cargo as you can, as many times as you can, and you'll easily unlock this trophy.

Bronze

Reach a total distance traveled of 80km upon the completion of an order.

A good way to unlock this trophy is to pick an extremely long order, then several small orders that can be delivered along the way. If done correctly, you'll be able to cover 80km in a single go.
