Trophy and Achievement Roadmap in Sea of Stars: In Of

Follow this Sea of Stars trophy and achievement roadmap to unlock all virtual trinkets, including the challenging Artful Gambit relic.

Hey there! So you're looking to snag all those shiny trophies and achievements in Sea of Stars? Awesome! Don't stress too much about missing anything on your first playthrough – the game is designed so you can't actually miss any trophies. Just play through the story, enjoy the ride, and then we can tackle the cleanup later.

That said, it's a good idea to try and grab as many treasure chests and Rainbow Conches as you can while you're playing through the main story. It'll make the post-game cleanup a whole lot smoother!

Step 1: Enjoy Your First Playthrough

Seriously, just play the game! Sea of Stars is a fantastic experience, and you'll want to soak in the story and world without worrying about a checklist. Once you get to the final dungeon, you'll unlock a bunch of side quests. Some of these have pretty tough bosses, but they're all part of the journey.

Step 2: Post-Story Cleanup

After you beat the main story (and the credits finally roll!), there's still more to do. Sea of Stars has a True Ending, and depending on what you've accomplished, you might be close to unlocking it already. You can check out the 'How to Unlock the True Ending' guide for the specifics on that. There's also a bit more story content and a super challenging True Ending boss waiting for you in the final dungeon.

This is also where you'll want to focus on getting all those treasure chests and hunting down all 60 Rainbow Conches. Trust me, getting all the chests can be a bit of a trek, and finding every single conch is a significant task!

Step 3: The Artful Gambit Challenge (New Game+)

There's one particular trophy that's technically possible on your first run, but it's way, way easier to save for a New Game+ playthrough. If you've already nabbed every other trophy, you might not even need to play a full NG+ run for this one.

Here's the deal: you'll eventually get a Relic called the Artful Gambit. This thing is brutal! It drastically lowers your HP and makes enemies immune to damage when they're charging up a skill (those 'Locks' you see). BUT, all your timed hits will deal double damage, and if you nail a timed block, you'll only take 1 damage. The goal is to defeat 10 bosses with this Relic active.

Heads up: Some bosses apparently don't count towards this trophy for some reason. If you're starting fresh with NG+, you'll likely unlock it after defeating the Leaf Monster boss in Autumn Hills. Don't worry, you can turn the Artful Gambit off between bosses if you need a breather and want to make things a bit less intense.
