Saros has been updated with a new photo mode and with this update, comes new Trophies to earn! There are nine new Trophies and each of them are tied to photo mode. You will need to be taking pictures of certain locations within each of the biomes. If you’ve already beaten the game, you can hop in to any of the biomes and grab these quick photo opportunities. You actually don’t even need to take a picture. You can just look at the required objects in photo mode and the Trophy will pop. If the Trophies don’t pop while looking at the objects, just zoom in closer on them and it should pop.
As you make your way through each of the biomes for the required photos, make sure to keep an eye out for any alpha enemies. You will need to take a photo of five different alpha enemies. They will be marked as a red crown icon on your mini map. When you find one, enter photo mode and zoom in on it. You can check the Trophy tracker to see if it was registered.

Carcosan Surveyor: Buried Deep
Frame an active underground mining operation using Photo Mode.
This is earned in Ancient Depths. After interacting with the sun dial, you’ll need to take left and right story paths from the sun dial room. The mining equipment was down the left path for me. You’ll eventually come to a room where there is a big circular drill like machine slowing rotating. There are two blades rotating that you need to jump over in order to progress with the biome. That big rotating blade is what you need to take a picture of.
Carcosan Surveyor: Menacing Threshold
Frame the Nightmare Gate entrance, while descending towards the Marsh, using Photo Mode.
This is earned in Shattered Descent. For this, You’ll need to take a picture of the nightmare gate in the biome while looking at it from above it. Just before you reach it, you’ll be a few ledges up above it. You need to take the pic before dropping down to its level.

This is earned in Desecrated Fortress. This will be toward the very end of the biome. You’ll come to a part where you have to ride a big circular platform up to another area just before the boss fight. When you get to the top of the elevator ride, this will be straight in front of you in the distance. There is a pulsing light coming out of what looks like tentacles.
Carcosan Surveyor: Lighting the Path
Frame the beacon of the giant communication device using Photo Mode.
This is earned in Acolyte’s Haven. This is found near the very end of the biome. As part of the story, you’ll need to make your way up and into a big statue that you can see in the distance. Once inside, you’ll need to take a photo of the the machine you need to interact with in order to advance the story. If you’ve already done that part of the story, you need to come back here. Do not go to the boss arena. Instead, continue following the blue flag objectives and they will lead you into the statue. If you trigger the boss fight, you’ll need to try again.
