For standard and recovery orders, make sure to keep the cargo from receiving any damage. For elimination/destruction orders, check to see how much damage Sam can take. Sam taking too much damage is the easiest way not to get an S-rank with these orders.

Making it Your Own
Use a screenshot taken in Photo Mode to decorate your private room.
Any time you use the Photo Mode to take a screenshot (you must take a screenshot in-game by pressing X, not the console’s screenshot), it is saved to the SSS. When you enter a Private Room at any facility other than the DHV Magellan, you’ll see a large wall with a digital image. If you look straight at the wall, you’ll see the option to customize it. Pick a Photo Mode screenshot from the list of available images tounlock the ‘Making It Your Own’ trophy inDS2.
Creature Comforter
Deliver a wild animal to the Animal Shelter. (Animals required to complete orders do not count.)
Once you unlock the Animal Shelter, you’ll gain the ability to approach any wild animal,press square to capture them, and return them to the Animal Shelter’s sanctuary. You must take the animal all the way to the Animal Shelter. You cannot entrust it to other porters. As noted, you must do this outside of an order.
Rare Specimen Rescuer
Deliver an albino animal to the Animal Shelter for the first time.
One option here is to simply keep your eyes open until you see an all-white animal in the wild. However, the best way tocapture an albino animal inDS2is to unlock the Pioneer, then complete his order that tasks Sam with locating and delivering an albino kangaroo to the Animal Shelter.
Restore one section of road
Locate any singleAuto-Paver inDeath Stranding 2,and provide all required materials. This will unlock the trophy.
Restore three mines.
There arenine mines inDeath Stranding 2.Some are large and require far more materials than the smaller mines. The easiest way to complete this trophy quickly is to restore theSmoke Hill Minewhen given the option early in Australia, then theTwin Valley Mineeast of the F2 South Distribution Center. Then restore one of the large mines, like Mine north of F1 (north of West Fort Knot), or head east and restore the Savanna Mine on the island between the desert area and East Fort Knot.
Restore and fully open a monorail line.
This requires you to restore every tracklayer along one full monorail line. There are three monorail lines inDS2,with the Northwest Line likely being the easiest to complete. This track runs from West Fort Knot, up to the Mine North of F1, then on to the Mine Near F3 Crater. Luckily, if you’ve connected the region to the Chiral Network, other players will contribute materials. Another option is to check your map to see which line has the most completed sections.
Deliver emergency support for the first time.
After a Plate Quake, you’ll see that many of the structures in the area have a yellow symbol above them. This denotes a structure that requires emergency aid after being damaged. Supply materials to these structures to repair them, which should unlock this trophy.
Dig a hot spring for the first time.
After you unlock the Hot Spring Digger for the PCC Lv2, you can easily locate a good Hot Spring location by looking for the Hydrologist’s aid request to dig a hot spring along the mountain ridge northwest of Heartman’s Lab. If you pay close attention to the SSS, you’ll also get messages from various preppers who mention the groundwater in the region. Either method is good for completing this trophy.
Written in the Stars
Study the night sky for the first time.
To unlock the “Written in the Stars” trophy inDS2,bathe in any hot spring at night. You’ll see the option to study the sky among the main list of options while using the spring. Look up at the constellations and enjoy them.
Barter with another porter for the first time.
When you encounter any NPC porter inDS2,simply wait for them to offer one of their packages to Sam. Once they do, take it. Then, drop a different item for the NPC porter to pick up. As soon as they do, this trophy will unlock.
Watch a live performance in your private room.
Tounlock “A Private Show” inDS2,you must first unlock the music player and the Horizon Dreamer song. Once you have both, enter your Private Room. Turn on Horizon Dreamer, then look at Dollman. He should be dancing to the music. Speak to him, and he will ask if you have a moment. Say yes, and the performance will begin. You’ll unlock the trophy at the end of the performance.
Discover the truth of the Pizza Chef.
Tounlock the Pizza Chef trophy inDS2,begin connecting with thePizza Chefprepper like they were any other. After you reach the 2-Star level, you’ll start seeing theMisanga lost cargo.

You will have to reach a high connection level with the Fisherman, and eventually he’ll send you to take on the Lord of the Tar Lake.Defeat the Lord of the Tar Lake bossto unlock the trophy.
Solve the riddle of the Headless Riders.
Tounlock ‘The Headless Riders Unmasked’ inDS2,you’ll first need to establish a connection with the Ghost Hunter. He is found northwest of East Fort Knot. As you increase your connection level, he will ask Sam to help with several investigations. For this investigation, accept the order at The Ghost Hunter’s terminal, then head to the quest marker while riding a Tri-Cruiser at night. This will initiate a long encounter, which will end with the trophy being unlocked.
Prevent Terminal Fort Knot from falling victim to a voidout.
This trophy is unlocked as part of the final investigation for the Ghost Hunter. Before you reach Episode 10, you want to get your connection level with the Ghost Hunter as high as possible. Once you get to the point that only a tiny silver of the fifth star is remaining, and it will not increase, it will be safe to move on and complete the main story. In the post-game, Sam will receive a message on the SSS from the Ghost Hunter asking for his help one final time. This will be the mission that allows you toprevent Terminal Knot City from falling victim to a voidout.
Arrive at the BT nexus in the F3 crater
At the northern edge of the map, you’ll see a second massive crater lake that marks the former location of North Fort Knot. The best way to complete this trophy is to wait until you’ve gained access to the Coffin Board, which allows Sam to ride safely over tar. Once you’ve reached that point, head out to the edge of the crater. The trophy unlocked for us as soon as we reached the outer rim. If you continue into the center, you’ll face a massive fight with two flying BTs.
Reveal the truth about the Ghost Hunter
After you’ve reached a 5-Star connection with the Ghost Hunter, return to his shelter with the Drawbridge Q-Pid turned on (endgame mechanic). Use the terminal, then listen to Dollman’s comments on the subject. This will cause the trophy to unlock.
Capture a large BT for the first time.
Use an EX Capture Grenade tocapture any large BT inDeath Stranding 2.When the BT’s health bar turns red, throw the grenade into whatever passes for its mouth. Then pick up the White Crystal that remains.

A Premier Porter
Achieve a porter grade of 40 or higher in all categories
Make sure you take the time to utilize both stealth and combat techniques. The other three categories will take care of themselves as you progress through the game. Also, make sure to form all available Bridge Contracts, as it will help the Bridge Link category.
Deliver a total of 500 pieces of cargo.
This is another trophy that simply requires you to progress through the game. you’re able to actively attempt to pick up orders with high cargo counts, but you really don’t have to if you are working towards the Platinum trophy. You’ll easily hit 500 pieces while going for 5-Star connection levels with every facility.
Deliver cargo weighing a total of two tons.
Load up as much cargo as you can, as many times as you can, and you’ll easily unlock this trophy.
Long-Distance Lugger
Reach a total distance traveled of 80km upon the completion of an order.
A good way to unlock this trophy is to pick an extremely long order, then several small orders that can be delivered along the way. If done correctly, you’ll be able to cover 80km in a single go.
This represents all 55 trophies inDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach.
