Remnant: From The Ashes is the more forgiving relative of Dark Souls, emphasizing third-person shooting and tons of exploration. This role-playing action game from Gunfire Games came out in 2019 and is available on multiple consoles, including the most recent release for the Nintendo Switch this past March. The progression system is unique because it’s randomized, but this can affect which areas are accessible in your initial playthrough.

Earning all the trophies will be monumental, but I’m here to help you through the vast post-apocalyptic environment and unearth every achievement. This game takes getting used to and will likely torment you initially while getting accustomed to the sometimes brutal mechanics and enemy ambushes.

Let’s get to the root of the matter in this Remnant From The Ashes Trophy guide and explore everything Remnant From The Ashes has to offer dedicated trophy hunters!

Bottom Line Up Front

Achieving platinum in Remnant From The Ashes requires you to create your character and then play through the initial story to get acquainted with the different gameplay subtleties. You will earn many trophies by playing your first time, so work your way through naturally to unlock story-related achievements.

From there, you can start a New Game+ or use Adventure Mode to visit specific locations and earn anything you missed. You’ll also need to play online to unlock some traits. A fair warning, this game takes time, but everything can be earned in Normal mode.

Genre: Action Role-Playing

• Difficulty: 4/10
• Average 100% Time: 50-70+ Hours
• Total Trophies: 41
• # Of Playthroughs: 1 & Replaying Adventure Runs/New Game+
  

Step 1: Forge Your Character & Conquer The Game

In this step, you start the game, establish your character, and then set out into the worlds infested by the Root to beat Remnant From The Ashes. Make sure you play on Normal difficulty, or it will be a much harder road. Each playthrough will be slightly different than others due to the semi-randomized nature of each world.

Therefore, comparing your playthrough with others online might not always be accurate. Remember, you will need to re-roll worlds to gain access to certain bosses after your initial playthrough. They will be outlined in specific trophies when you reach that point, and I’ll explain how to access and defeat them all!

Potential First-Round Collectible Trophies

• Either The Bigger They Are or Fire In The Sky 
• Either Wolf Of The Woods or Watch The Totems!
• Either Shot Through The Heart or Undying, Eh? 
• The Keymaster
• Butterfly Effect

• Untouchable 
• Not So Special
• First… But Not the Last!

• Not So Lucky

• Are You Ok?
• What is the Labyrinth?
• Death Warned Over
• Like a Moth to a Flame
• Changing of the Guard
• The Founder

Step 2: Starting a New Game+ Or Adventure Mode to Visit Past Locations

This step consists of picking up any of the trophies you missed, so I advise checking your list and then playing a new game+ to unlock them. Adventure mode is also helpful in exploring the various worlds to discover loot, traits, and viable weapons while gaining experience quicker. To access this, visit the World Stone within Ward 13 and select “World settings” to roll separate worlds.

Every world holds many collectibles and rare items, and you’ll need to find them all. The platinum also requires you to defeat every boss, upgrade equipment, kill certain enemies, and collect traits to enhance your capabilities against the threatening environments. Here are some of the most common trophies you’ll potentially earn in this step.

Potential Second-round Collectible Trophies

• Either The Bigger They Are or Fire In The Sky 
• Either Wolf Of The Woods or Watch The Totems!

• Scrap Harvester 
• Scrap Collector
• Not So Lucky (Unlocked if you didn’t earn it already)
• This Watch… (Unlocked if you didn’t earn it already)
• Precious (Unlocked if you didn’t earn it already)

Step 3: Earn Some Traits Online

You’ll need to play online to earn various traits to unlock the Unleash Your Potential Trophy. Playing the campaign will likely not give you the 30 traits you need for this trophy. From there, you must head to Co-op mode to acquire the rest. Note that there are 50 in the game, so you won’t need to attain every single one; some are earned by default. Here are some of the traits you can find online and how to unlock them.

• Teamwork: Earned by playing multiplayer
• Suspicion: Get killed by co-op teammates ten times
• Revivalist: Earned by reviving teammates in co-op
• Will To Live: Get revived while playing multiplayer
• Cold As Ice: Achieved by taking out your co-partner when facing Brabus

First, remember that this trophy has been shown to glitch for some players. You will discover some exciting armor sets within Remnant From The Ashes necessary for the Equipment Enthusiast Trophy. They come in headgear, footgear, and armor. Here I will give you a detailed list of all the armor set pieces and their locations.

Adventurer Set

• Set Pieces: Adventurer Leggings & Tunic
• Location: Default Unlock

Akari Set

Cultist Set

• Location: This set will be available automatically if you choose the Ex-cultist class. If not, then you can easily purchase it at Ward 13.

Drifter’s Set

• Set Pieces: Drifter’s Mask, Overcoat & Trousers
• Location: Search Earth to find the headgear in a random area. Next, head to the Founder’s Hideout. Remember the room where the Ward 13 keycard was located? Head there and then destroy an unsuspecting bookcase. From there, you can crouch and enter a secret space where the overcoat and trousers await you.

Elder Set

• Set Pieces: Elder Headdress, Raiment & Leggings

Location: Find a random event at the Martyr’s Sanctuary named “Survive The Attack.” Here you can earn the entire Elder set. This may take a few tries to re-roll successfully to attain this set.

Hunter’s Set

• Location: If you choose the Hunter class when starting, this set will be available automatically. If not, then once again, it can be purchased at Ward 13 easily.

Osseus Set

• Set Pieces: Osseus helm, husk & Kit
• Location: When adventuring in Rohm, you may find a merchant named Wud. He will then entice you with secrets, but it’s not free. If you sell him 500 scraps, he will give you the whole Osseus set.

Radiant Set

• Set Pieces: Radiant Visage, Protectors & Greaves
• Location: When exploring Yaesha, you may find a merchant who will conveniently sell the Greaves and protectors. Pick up the Strange Curio by him, which will unlock a door in one of the random dungeons. The Visage is located behind this door.

Scrapper Set

• Set Pieces: Scrapper Helmet, Bodyplate & work boots
• Location: This set will be available immediately if you choose the scrapper to start as your class. Otherwise, go and purchase it from Ward 13.

Slayer Set

Twisted Set

Void Set

• Set Pieces: Void Skull, Carapace & Greaves
• Location: When you reach Rohm, you’ll eventually make it to a waypoint known as the Monolith, where a glowing square is in front of it on the ground. Ensure you’re facing away from the damaged tower so it’s behind your character.

Face the other ruined buildings and then stand on the square. Here is the correct sequence to unlock a hidden room. Move three tiles left, one down, one left, one up, one left, one up, & two right. After this, you’ll see a hidden room where the Void Set can be purchased.

Bandit Set

• Set Pieces: Bandit’s mask, jacket & trousers
• Location: When you find Brabus, hand him the pocket watch you obtained from Mudtooth earlier. Doing this will give you the Bandit Set located in the same place.

Push It to the Limit

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 43.80%

You can upgrade your equipment to its full potential when speaking with Rigs in Ward 13, and he offers worthy enhancements that make you a force to be reckoned with. Of course, this will require you to pay with money and materials. Here are the materials you’ll need to scavenge on each world.

• Player %: 59.08%

Weapon mods play a role in giving you active skills throughout your campaign. These are earned by either crafting or defeating challenging bosses throughout each world. Each one must be crafted using a unique material and five lumenite crystals. You need to know every craftable mod for your weapons and which materials are necessary to create them. Here are the mods found in the game.

• Flicker Cloak
• Rattle Weed
• Mantle of Thorns
• Seed Caller
• Explosive shot
• Breath of the Desert
  
• Veil of the Black Tear
  
• Beckon

• Ex-Occultist: Given the Mender’s Aura mod
• Scrappers: Given the Hot Shot mod
• Hunters: Given the Hunter’s Mark mod

Some mods are pre-equipped when you earn weapons from bosses, which are fixed, meaning it’s impossible to unequip them when using them. Here are all the mods from bosses.

• Radioactive Volley
• Skewer
• Hive Shot
• Undying
• Static Field Shot
• Flame Thrower
• Tentacle Shot
• Spore Shot
• Gravity Core
• Banish

Trait Dabbler

Get any trait upgraded to 10

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 74.06%

Please reference Trait Focus for this trophy

Trait Focus

Get any trait upgraded to 20

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 63.40%

Traits in Remnant are maxed out at level twenty, and this is achieved through trait points, which are earned by killing enemies and completing various side quests. This will take a lot of time and immense grinding to max them out. To make things quicker, I suggest you dump your first twenty points into the first traits you acquire and then go from there.

One Person’s Scrap…

Obtain 50,000 scrap

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 58.79%

Please reference Scrap Collector to earn this trophy.

Scrap Harvester

Obtain 100,000 scrap

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 48.99%

Please reference Scrap Collector to earn this trophy.

Scrap Collector

Obtain 200,000 scrap

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 40.06%

Scrap can be obtained through various methods, including defeating enemies, completing side quests, selling, & through objects in the environment. Once again, this will take a long time to complete, so don’t expect to get it in one sitting, or you might go insane.

I strongly advise that you put a good amount of points into your scavenger ability to streamline the process. From there, you should be scavenging environmental objects right and left while leaving no stone unturned. Remember that you don’t have to have 200,000 on hand; rather, it’s cumulative.

Ready For Action

Use material from a beaten world boss to craft a weapon

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 68.01%

Each of the world bosses will give you some valuable materials when defeated. From there, McCabe can work his magic and craft you some deadly weapons. Take the materials to him after defeating one of the world bosses, and this will earn you the trophy. Here are the world bosses that yield materials to craft a weapon for this achievement.

• Singe
• Ent
• Harrow
• Clavinger
• lxillis
• Ravager
• Totem Father

Like A Boss

Get a boss weapon upgraded to +5

• Grade: Gold
• Player %: 58.50%

Please reference Push It To The Limit to complete this trophy

This Watch…

Obtain Mudtooth’s pocket watch

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 54.76%

Mudtooth is on Earth in a wrecked aircraft, and if you talk to him until the dialogue is over, he will give you a pocket watch trinket. When facing Brabus later on Earth, you will need this present in your inventory. Giving it to him will earn you the Bandit armor set, but not giving it to him and then killing him will unlock the mod known as Explosive Shot.

Heart of a Dragon

Upgrade the Dragon Heart

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 66.28%

Before protecting the Root Mother, she will move to the Ward 13 base where Reggie is. This is when the rare Simalcrum material will be available to collect while playing. You must bring her this along with Lumenite Crystals and a staggering 1000 scrap to upgrade the Dragon Heart. This enhancement will increase your healing efficiency and make things easier, so it’s worth the investment.

Fade To White

Activate the World Stone in Ward 13

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 87.90%

This story-related trophy is unmissable after activating the crystal within Ward 13.

Fire In The Sky

Beat Singe

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 61.38%

You can find Singe on Earth in the Ash yard. Most of his attacks are easy to avoid, and you shouldn’t have much trouble. The only thing to pay attention to is the spawning enemies, which can make things more difficult. If you decimate his tale before killing him, this will grant you the Smolder.

Contrastingly, if you keep his tail intact, then it will allow you to create Spitfire. Because of the nature of this game, you’ll need to re-roll to get the Ent battle instead when shooting for The Bigger They Are.

The Bigger They Are…

Beat the Ent

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 63.40%

Travel to the Choking Hallow on Earth to fight The Ent. Watch out for his close-range fist slam. His ranged attack is a stomping shockwave that can be avoided through dashing. His final attack involves spore projectiles that can easily be avoided by going to either side.

Once again, he can spawn smaller minions to make your life harder. If you decimate his legs before destroying him, then this will allow you to create Petrified Maul. Keeping his legs intact will allow you to craft Sporebloom. If you encounter him in your playthrough, you must re-roll to get Singe in Adventure Mode for Fire In The Sky.

Watch The Totems!

Beat the Totem Father

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 50.14%

You can find the Totem Father on Yaesha within the Tempest Court. There is a Totem nearby that you need to examine. If it’s red, then you will be able to craft Voice Of The Tempest. If blue, then this allows you to craft Eye Of The Storm. This boss is more manageable than he appears, and you shouldn’t let him threaten you with his erratic movements.

Wolf Of The Woods

Beat the Pan Wolf

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 52.16%

The Pan Wolf is the same boss as the Ravager to clear up any confusion. He can be fought on Yaesha within Ravager’s Hunt. Initially he won’t be harmful, and you can soothe him with a lullaby that calms him down and allows you to talk with him. This gives you the ability to craft Claw of the Jungle God.

You’ll also need to fight him in a small cave after this by attacking him. You’ll get the Curse of the Jungle God material when he’s dead. You must re-roll to fight Totem Father if you got this boss in your first playthrough.

Undying, Eh?

Beat the Undying King

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 54.18%

You can find the Undying King by defeating the Clavier or Harrow on Rohm. Upon seeing him, he’ll allow you to find the Guardian’s Heart in a distant world. Accepting this will earn you the Shot To The Heart Trophy. The other option is to refuse his offer and battle him, which is the necessary decision for this trophy.

Mender’s Aura is important during this fight to deal with the barrage of Lurkers. After you seemingly defeat him, he will come back, so rinse and repeat until he’s dead, and this will give you material to help craft the Ruin Rifle.

The Keymaster

Beat the Claviger

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 56.20%

You can find the Clavinger on Rohm within the Spindle. First, destroy the orbs he summons because they’re nothing but trouble. Stay to the sides of the area and shoot him repeatedly. Once he spawns some more enemies, you’re given a choice that will determine which materials you earn.

Killing them will earn you material for crafting the Particle Accelerator, and letting him absorb them will give you material for preparing the World Breaker. Move to the side to avoid his attacks. You must re-roll if you fight the Clavinger to fight the Harrow instead later on.

Butterfly Effect

Beat lxillis XV

• Grade: Silver
• Player %: 58.50%

You can find lxiles XV on Corsus within the Grotto. You won’t have to re-roll anything to get another boss for this level since he’s the only one. Watch out for his slash attacks and the occasional bomb by dodging and shooting when possible.

When he flees, you’ll notice another copy of him behind you. Shoot them to stop their charging, which will do much damage. Killing them around the same time is the key to gaining material for creating the Guardian Axe. If they die spaced apart, then you’ll attain material for crafting the Hive cannon.

Dark Awakening

Beat the Dreamer

• Grade: Gold
• Player %: 55.04%

After you speak with Andrew Ford, you’ll have access to Ward 17, where the final boss, The Dreamer, awaits. There are two phases to this battle, and when you complete them both, it will unlock the trophy.

Untouchable

Beat a world boss with zero damage taken

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 35.45%

I recommend defeating Singe to earn this trophy. He’s located on Earth, and you need to re-roll until Ash Yard is an option. His attacks are slow, and you shouldn’t have any issues completing this battle without getting hit once.

Shot Through The Heart

Give the Undying King the Swamp Guardian’s Heart

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 48.70%

Bring the Undying King his heart as he requested, earning you Shot Through The Heart. It’s obtained through defeating exiles in another world.

Not So Lucky

Give Ace back his coin

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 52.16%

When on Earth, there’s a chance you will find the Lucky Coin randomly. When you re-roll and finally discover it, take it to Ace and listen to the dialogue. You will earn the trophy, and she will give you a powerful Magnum revolver.

Precious

Give the Ring back to Reggie

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 47.84%

On Earth, you may discover a tarnished ring at random. When you find it, take it to Reggie and complete the conversation. You will get the trophy and the scavenger perk, which is highly important for saving time.

Are You Ok?

Encounter the Root Mother

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 76.37%

On Earth, you’ll encounter the Root Mother around the Church. Defeat the enemy waves and then speak with her to unlock this trophy.

What is the Labyrinth?

Encounter the Labyrinth Keeper

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 79.61%

After you meet the Root Mother, you’ll meet the Labyrinth Keeper, and this is a story-related trophy that’s impossible to miss.

Death Warmed Over

Encounter the Undying King

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 63.98%

This story-related unmissable trophy unlocks after you meet the Undying King within Rohm.

Like A Moth To A Flame

Encounter the Swamp Queen

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 60.81%

When trying to find the guardian’s heart, you can bring it to the Undying King or the Swamp Queen. Giving her the heart and speaking with her will earn you this trophy.

Changing Of The Guard

Encounter the Pan Rebel Leader

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 58.21%

The Rebel Leader will be met within the Yaesha forest. This is an unmissable trophy earned after defeating some waves of enemies and speaking to her.

The Founder

Encounter Andrew Ford

• Grade: Bronze
• Player %: 56.20%

You will meet Andrew Ford in Yaesha. When the world boss is eradicated, you will discover a prison where the Founder is locked up. Shoot the lock and then open the door to speak with him. The trophy unlocks after the dialogue is completed.
