Welcome to the Forspoken Trophy and Achievement guide!
4/10 Estimated Difficulty
45 – 60 Estimated Hours to completion
1 Minimum Playthrough
0 Missable
First thing you’re going to want to do here is complete all 12 chapters of the main story. There’s a lot to do, but you won’t be able to complete the majority of it until after you’ve completed the story. The reason for that is abilities. You’ll be getting new abilities all the way up until chapter 11. The full map wont be explorable until you have all of those abilities. So play through the story first and knock that out.
After you’ve completed the story, then you can start focusing on everything else here.
None of the Trophies/Achievements are missable. So you can play through without that worry hanging over you. There is nothing tied to difficulty either. Everything here can be done on whatever difficulty you’d like.
Take a Detour
The side quests in Forespoken are called Detours. There are some that will only be available during the story. If you don’t do them during their respective chapters, they’ll be missed. Don’t worry, that will not lock you out of any Trophies/Achievements. All of the detours that are tied to Trophies/Achievements will actually respawn after you’ve completed the story. Something you don’t see too often when it comes RPG Trophy/Achievement lists.
There are not that many detours during the story, but you can get list of what and when under the “Archivist” Trophy/Achievement.
Collectathon
A big part of this Trophy/Achievement list is tied to completing locations found out in the open world. You’re going to be combing over this map completing a lot of the side content here. None of those are missable and they are not hard to find.
Everything that you need to track down will be automatically added to your map. In order to do that, you need to defog the map. You’ll defog parts as you traverse across the map, but you can clear big chunks of the map by interacting with Belfries. These are big towers that you can stand under. While standing under them, you can press 
and it’ll highlight the surrounding area, defog a chunk of the map and add more icons to your map. The belfries are marked on your map as 
icons. Activate these whenever you come across them to make things easier later. They also act as fast travel points.
Misc.
As you’re playing through the story, you’re going to want to chip away at Spellcraft Challenges. There are 105 of them to complete, so get started on those early and do them often. More info on those can be found under “Above and Beyond.”
You’ll also want to collect as much mana as you can while traversing the map. You’re going to need 3,200 mana in order to unlock every spell. So collect that whenever you see it.

Each of the Refuges will have a bookshelf next to the beds you can rest in. Interact with the bookshelves and you can select which challenges you want to activate. You can only have three challenges active at a time.
When you complete one, you need to go into magic and hold on the spell with the completed challenge to upgrade it. Once the spell has been upgraded, replace the completed challenge with a new one and keep knocking them out.
These challenges are pretty straight forward. They won’t take you too long individually, there’s just a lot of them.
You can farm enemies while working on these. After completing an encounter, fast travel away and the group of enemies will respawn.
As mentioned above, these challenges are very straight forward. However, there is one that is worded incorrectly. Tempest Lv. 2 is the challenge in question. You need to kill the last enemy in a battle while at low health. The in game description does not state the part about your health. Save a single enemy and let yourself take damage until your health is very low. Then use Tempest to kill the enemy and complete the challenge.

- Amphicynodon – Vulnerable to Sila’s Magice
- Gigas – Vulnerable to Olas’ Magic

Upon beating the story, you will have visited the Junoon Castle Town Refuge. Fast travel there and make your way north to the Depths of Corruption.
Go through the depths and you’ll be in front of a big lake. Glide on the water to the eastern most side of the lake and climb the big stone pillars. There will be a treasure chest on top of one of them. Get to that chest and then use the L3 + R3 ability to shoot over to the other side which is Farcoast Terrace.
From there, it’s pretty much a linear path. Traverse the landscape making your way to Nowhere. You’re going to be under attack during a Breakstorm. It can get pretty hectic, but just keep jumping from ledge to ledge making your way through the canyon.
Archivist
Unlock 80% of the Archive.
The Archive will be automatically filled up as you play through the game and work on other Trophies/Achievements.
Every time you kill a new enemy, pick up a new resources, pick up a new piece of equipment, complete a location, complete a detour and complete a story objective, you’ll receive a new entry in your archive.
There are 540 entries, but only 80% of them are needed for this Trophy/Achievement. That means you will need to fill 464 entries.
A majority of these will be filled by completing the story and detours. The rest will be filled in as you complete the rest of the open world content.
So, you don’t really need to put too much attention into this. It’ll automatically fill itself up as you do everything else in the game.
There are missable detours during the story. If you don’t do them, it’s okay. It wont stop you from completing this Trophy/Achievement. If you do do them, it’ll give you an extra push toward this completion.

Highlight it and you’ll see that it’s the Suppression spell. Press the Touchpad while on that skill and it’ll mark its location on your map for you.
Go to the Juniper Fount and jump in to collect the Spell.
Then, equip it. Get into a combat encounter and activate the spell. Once activated, don’t move. You’ll turn invisible. Just keep standing there and don’t move until the Trophy/Achievement pops.
You may want to do this against a low number of enemies. The fewer amount of enemies, the better. The more enemies there are, the higher the chances one of them will hit you.
Thankfully this only requires one play through and nothing is missable, the trophy list seems straightforward.
