Dying Light 2: Bloody Ties Trophy & Achievement Guide

Welcome to the Dying Light 2: Bloody Ties Trophy and Achievement guide!

7/10 Estimated Difficulty – Parkour Time Trials
6-10 Estimated Hours to Completion.
1 Minimum Story Playthrough
1 Missable Trophies/Achievements – Connoisseur 

In order to start the DLC you will need to have at least finished the prologue of the base game. When loading up your save, the mission “First Blood” will be added to your journal. If it doesn’t happen immediately, leave the safe zone you’re in and run around for a bit. It will pop up on screen and be added to your journal.

Five of the eight of the Trophies/Achievements are story related, so those will come just by playing through the DLC’s main story. Being that this Dying Light, it is possible for Trophies/Achievements to not pop. You’re going to want to keep back up saves just in case any of the Trophies/Achievements do not pop.

There is one Trophy/Achievement that can be missed and that is “Connoisseur.” There are collectibles that are tied to Side Missions which can be missed if you don’t play them. The side missions you need to look for are below:

• The Gilded Cage
• Backstory
• The Only Hope
• Portrait of a Hangover

The area in Gilded Cage will become inaccessible after finishing the mission.

If you miss the side missions, you can join someone else’s game if they are playing the mission and collect it just like in the base game.

Overall, the list is fairly easy, but there is one aspect of “True Champion” that can be difficult. These are the parkour trials. They are going to require a lot of practice and patience to learn the courses so that you can finish with a time good enough for gold.

 Nemesis

Meet Skullface

This is an unmissable story related Trophy & Achievement.

This should pop after the cutscene when you first meet Skullface, but it has been reported to pop at various times later on. You’ll meet him after the fight in the empty pool.

 Enter the Hall

Reach the Carnage Hall

This is an unmissable story related Trophy & Achievement.

You’ll be able to head to Carnage Hall after completing the final test that has you surviving a fight against infected on a roof during the mission “Madmen From Villedor.”

Night of Terrors

Survive the Night of Terrors

This is an unmissable story related Trophy & Achievement.

You’ll survive the Night of Terrors during the story mission “Fame or Infamy.” This should pop after leaving Astrid’s room.

 My Friend Ciro

Decide Ciro’s fate

This is an unmissable story related Trophy & Achievement.

At the end of the “Road to Perdition” mission, you’ll need to make a choice to spare or kill Ciro. It does not matter what choice you make for this Trophy/Achievement. If you want to spare Ciro, just let him attack you a few times. He will help you during the fight against Skullface if you let him live.

 Skullcrusher

Defeat Skullface

This is an unmissable story related Trophy & Achievement.

You’ll fight Skullface during “The Show Must Go On” mission.

If you rescued the four prisoners during “Fame or Infamy,” they will help you during the fight. Ciro will also help you during the fight if you let him beat you during the previous fight.

The Madman of Villedor

Earn a gold medal in all ‘Madmen of Villedor’ trials.

You will gain access to these trials as part of the story. You will be forced to score at least a bronze on them in order to prove you are worthy of entering Carnage Hall which is required for the story. This will take place during the “Madmen of Villedor” mission.

While you need to get a bronze to advance the story, you will need gold on each one in order to earn this Trophy/Achievement. They can be replayed if you want or need to come back to them later.

• Parkour – Like the Wind – 1:40
• Combat – Between Two Fires – 1:27
• Combat – Treasure Hunt – 0:36

If this doesn’t pop after getting gold on all of them, you can replay a trial and get gold again to get it to pop.

True Champion

Earn a gold medal in all Carnage Hall shows.

Before you can start earning the gold medals on the shows, you will need to complete at least the medium tier shows for Carnage, Rush and Freak Fight. The Spectacles are not timed, so you won’t be able to get gold on them, but you’ll need to beat them.

There are 16 total challenges, but you can only get gold medals on 12 of them.

After that, you can do the shows by interacting with posters on the walls. Exit your room and go left. Interact with the posters to start the shows.

• Combat
  • Trouble in Harran – 02:25
  • Riot in the Castle – 02:35
  • Bedlam in Babel – 03:45
  • Forge of Mayhem – 03:30

• Freak Fight
  • Abandon All Hope – 00:30
  • Prim-Ate – 00:30
  • Phantom of the Opera – 00:49
  • Brawl in the Bog – 00:45

• Parkour
  • Run Boy Run – 01:22
  • Man in Tights – 00:55
  • Running Up That Tower – 02:40
  • God of Speed – 02:00

The parkour challenges are the toughest here. It’s going to take some patience and probably a lot of practice. You should treat the runs as trial and error. You’re going to want to go through them learning them and learning what works the best for you until you can get the hang of whatever trial you’re on. Use some practice runs to learn where you can use your glider, the hook, sliding and speed boosts by making use of the Dart skill from the Parkour skill tree.

Connoisseur

Find all Carnage Hall collectables.
