Guerranera and the Trophy Hunters
PS4
Build up the Monstie and gene logs during the story so you know which dens to visit after the ending. Alternate collection with combat: use expeditions to raise hatchlings while your main group tackles quests and High Rank monsters.
The 2024 PS4 release has 49 trophies. Offline Co-op/Versus counts with game-controlled allies and opponents.
- Endgame lair: Elder’s Lair and a return to Mahana
- Versus challenges: One Single win, one Pair win and one Co-op Quest; offline supported
- Logs: Monsterpedia, Monstipedia and Book of Genes
Open the Kinship Stone milestones
Follow the story to Kinship Stone Level 8 and visit Lulucion after reaching Level 9. Activate each Catavan and accept side quests in the area you are about to explore. Register monsters as you encounter them and use the Kinship Skills of new Monsties before replacing them.
- Work towards 100 subquests and check the story cutscene collection when you return to the menu.
Hatch and raise the missing Monsties
Compare the Monstipedia and Book of Genes so you do not only hunt your favourite species. A hatch can give you the correct Monstie without the gene you need; level up any with locked slots. Use the Rite of Channeling to fill nine slots and transfer copies of the same XL gene to upgrade it.
- Send Monsties that need levels on expeditions and check entries marked + before hunting for them.
Use Co-op and Versus offline
Open Co-op/Versus at the quest board and choose Offline Play. Win a Single Battle and a Pair Battle, then finish a Co-op Quest with the game-controlled partner. Both battles require wins; the co-op quest needs a result screen, not just entering the room.
- Check Scroll of Power, Scroll of Unity and Scroll of Cooperation separately.
Prepare equipment and clear the Elder’s Lair
Max out a High Rank weapon and armour while building your team for the Lair. Return to the Altar Catavan and speak with Gara. Read the objective in each zone before fighting: some need specific parts, so bring weapons that deal the right damage type. Return to Mahana when done.
- Use the notes in boss zone chests and check Secret Scroll of Bonds after returning to the village.
Finish the remaining logs, books and trials
After the Lair check missing double skills, Navirou outfits and Catavan stands. Meet a Trial Quest’s gold condition using the board’s requirements. Open the Key Items tab after completing the scrolls and recipe collections, since the set specifies that visit as well.
- Change Navirou’s outfit after collecting the required ones and check the log trophies from the menu.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need another player?

Are all + entries required?
No. Several collection trophies exclude those entries. Follow each trophy’s note and prioritise the base entries.
Does PS4 share the first Stories trophy set?
