Finish the story and Very Hard route

Check bosses in chapters 3-5, 7-5, 11-5 and 13-5. Campaign trophies distinguish Normal or above, Hard or above and Very Hard. Verify every chapter at the highest required difficulty. Also defeat a boss without damage and finish a stage without damage on Hard or above; these are separate conditions.

  • Gundahar Badge · Defeated the Chapter 7-5 boss

Open chests and unlock gadgets and forms

Use Guerranera's collectibles resource for every chest. Collect parts, build every gadget and obtain crystals for upgraded forms. The first gadget and first upgraded Knack are intermediate: Doctorate and Crystal Relic Master need full collections. Also check more than 100,000 relics.

Use each variant in the required fight

Finish a chapter with Vampire Knack. Use Brittle against the Chieftain's mech, Massive against Gundahar's robot, Sunstone against Katrina's mech and Dark against the Giant Orb. Diamond Medal requires every boss with Diamond Knack, not just one fight.
