Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin - Complete Trophy Guide
Foreword
This is for the PlayStation 4 Version of the game, though there's only minor differences with the PlayStation 3 version, the trophies don't actually stack together and the console will create a new set of trophies for you, completely separate from the PlayStation 3 version.
A couple of reminders before I list down the trophies:
- Do not kill any NPCs, this cannot be stressed enough. You need some of them in order to obtain certain trophies like Lucatiel.
- Certain items have been moved around, so please don't be surprised if you can't find items when you're sure of their location.
Platinum Trophies (1)
- The Dark Soul - Obtain all the trophies
Gold Trophies (2)
- Selfless Giver - Max out your devotion to any covenant
- The Heir - See the ending, doesn't matter which
Silver Trophies (23)
- Supreme Weapon - Enhance a weapon to its limits
- The best way to do this is to get any ordinary weapon like the Longsword and upgrade it. Special weapons like the Drangelic Sword would be hard to upgrade since they need Twinkling Titanite.
