Trophies & Achievements
Welcome, champion, to the ultimate guide for unlocking every Trophy and Achievement in Injustice: Gods Among Us! Whether you're a PlayStation hero or an Xbox legend, this comprehensive breakdown will lead you through every challenge, from story mode triumphs to online dominance and S.T.A.R. Labs mastery. Prepare to dedicate yourself, as some of these will test your mettle!
Story Mode Trophies & Achievements
The core narrative offers a straightforward path to several unlocks. Focus on completing the story on various difficulties to secure these.
- Fully Charged: Complete Story Mode. This is your first major milestone. Simply play through all 12 chapters.
- The Hero We Deserve: Complete Story Mode on Medium difficulty. After your first playthrough, tackle it again on a slightly higher challenge.
- World's Finest: Complete Story Mode on Hard difficulty. This will require a good understanding of character mechanics and opponent patterns. Don't be afraid to utilize environmental interactions!
- Ultimate Power: Unlock all character endings in Story Mode. While the main story has a single ending, each character has a unique ending cinematic accessible after completing their specific S.T.A.R. Labs missions or by meeting certain criteria. This is often tied to the "Mini-Game Master" achievement as well.
