Introduction

Welcome to the Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Trophy Guide! The structure of this game is very similar to Far Cry. There is an open world with enemy bases to conquer, several collectibles, and some side quests. For platinum you need around 85% game completion. Only 4 side questlines are needed, all of which are still available after the story. Almost all side quests can be skipped. Some collectible types aren’t needed while others are either partially or fully required. The Hunter’s Log, which tracks all scanned flora/fauna, doesn’t need to be completed either. Overall this is a relatively easy and relaxing Platinum. You can approach this any way you want. Either clear the Outposts and Collectibles as you play through the story or do them afterward in one go. While there are some missable Audio Logs and Notes, you only need 30 of each and there are more, so even if you miss everything possible there are still enough for trophy purposes.

Step 1: Story + Scan Plants/Wildlife [15-20 Hours]

Focus on finishing the story first. As part of the story you unlock the ability to fly everywhere and destroy story-related bases needed for 100% Air Quality. What difficulty you pick doesn’t matter, can do everything on ‘Easy’. It’s recommended to scan all plants and wildlife you encounter, this will add them to the Hunter’s Guide, allowing you to track their locations in the future. Pick up any collectibles you come across to reduce backtracking. None of the trophies are missable so you can’t mess anything up.

Tips & Time-Savers:

• [TIME SAVER – Scan everything for  Wildlife Expert,  Great Gatherer] – Scan everything you see for 20 gatherable wildlife & 30 plant entries in Hunter’s Guide. Early in the game you unlock the ability to scan with + . Keep scanning after getting these trophies, it will come in handy for the Community Contributions questlines. Scanned items can be pinned in the Hunters Log, then on the map you can press to see their location, makes it easy to find specific materials when you need them for quests or crafting.
• [TIME SAVER – Stash 1 of each Flora/Fauna for  One with the Clans] – Harvest at least 1 of each plant / wildlife you see, store 1 of each unique type in the stash, found at the Resistance HQ. You must deliver items to each Clan’s Community Basket to finish Part 3 of the Community Contributions questlines. If you keep 1 of each item you can reduce the search later.
• [Leveling Up] – There is no traditional XP Leveling System, the level is based on your equipped gear. If you rush the story you will be underleveled. On Easy difficulty you can get away with being 2 levels below requirement. If you are underleveled, trade your Clan Favor (earned from quests) for Weapons & Armor at Clan Merchants. Trade ‘Spare Parts’ at the Resistance HQ for gear. Always pick the gear that gives the biggest level increase. Buying skills also increases the level slightly.
• [Loot Any Crates/Baskets you Find] – Crates and Baskets give useful rewards. Large Yellow Crates give gear, they are often found at Outposts. Small Yellow Crates give Spare Parts, used to buy gear at Resistance HQ. Wicker Baskets can unlock Specialty Cooking Recipes and Materials. Other containers have food or ammo.
• [Best Skills] – The most important skill is “Well Prepared” from the Warrior Skill Tree to unlock a 4th weapon slot. Equipping a 4th weapon increases your level significantly. Also buy “Extra Ammo I” (Warrior) to carry twice as many arrows, “Expert Ammunition Crafter” (Maker) to craft twice as much, and anything from the Survivor Skill tree for more health pouch charges and increased overall health. After unlocking the Flying Mount you unlock the 5th skill tree, buy “Aerial Fishing” (Rider) to replenish your mount’s energy without spending food.
• [Combat Tactics] – Even on Easy you take a lot of damage. The best strategy is to hide behind rocks and shoot enemies with arrows from a safe distance. When entering combat always consume food to keep your energy filled, this will automatically recharge health. If it’s too difficult, spend some time leveling up. The most efficient approach is to conquer other Outposts and loot their big yellow crates for gear, or play side quests to get Clan Favor and trade for gear.
• [Resistance HQ becomes unavailable (doesn’t affect trophies)] – The hub area where you accept most main quests is called “Resistance HQ“. This location becomes unavailable after Main Quest 20: Victory Celebration. There are some missable side quests there but they don’t matter for trophies. Any Audio Logs & Notes from this location respawn at another Resistance HQ later in the story. It won’t lock you out of any trophies, so don’t be alarmed when the Resistance HQ disappears.

Step 2: Collectibles & 100% Air Quality [20-30 Hours]

For trophies you need around 85% game completion. The only collectible types not required are: Resistance Field Labs, Memory Paintings, Ikran Gear Baskets. Of everything else you need either all or some. For 100% Air Quality you must destroy all RDA buildings, indicated by the brown color on the map. Here’s everything you need:

RDA Installations / Outposts / Bases for 100% Air Quality:

• All 35 RDA Installations (smallest buildings, looking like drills) –  Reclaim Pandora
• All 19 RDA Outposts (mid-size buildings, looking like fortresses) –  Reclaim Pandora
• All 3 RDA Bases (larger form of Outposts) –  Reclaim Pandora

Collectibles – All Needed:

• All 9 Windswept Kites –  Tethered Kites
• All 9 Windswept Dolls –  Doll Collector
• All 11 Bladewing Moths –  Fleet-Footed
• All 12 Sarentu Totems –  Vision of the Ancestors
• All 17 Aeolian Wind Flutes –  In Harmony
• All 9 Recon Retrievals (9 Data Collectors on in-game map) –  Data Retriever
• All 9 Mycelium Network Activities (9 Budding Watchers on in-game map) –  Mushroom Navigator
• All 11 Treasure Hunt Comics (11 Computer Terminals on in-game map) –  Father and Son in the Stars

Collectibles – Not All Needed:

• 3 Tarsyu Flowers (unlocks Ancestor Skills) –  Talk to the Ancestors
• 20 Bellsprigs (increases Health) –  Full Bloom
• 20 Tarsyu Saplings (gives Skill Points) –  Sprouting Potential
• 30 Notes –  Story Guardian
• 30 Audio Logs –  A Good Listener

Step 3: Side Quests (Steady Wings Side Quest + Part 3 of Aranahe, Zeswa, Kame’tire Community Contributions Questline) [5 Hours]

After you got all Collectibles, the only things left are 2 side quest trophies.

•  Kinglor Carer – talk to Etuwa at Kinglor Forest > Hometree (Aranahe Clan Home). He’s on the top floor of the Hometree. This starts side quest “Steady Wings”. It consists of 3 Parts. After each Part you must talk to Etuwa again at the top of the Hometree to start the next Part. The questline requires you to guide a moth to trees. Track the quest to get map markers for each objective.
   
  
•  One with the Clans – requires you to do Part 3 of the Clan Community Contribution questlines. These are started by interacting with Community Baskets at Camps (they look like red tents on the map). This questline requires you to deliver specific plants, wildlife, and cooked meals. If you followed the advice from Step 1 and stored everything you found in the Stash, you should already have most of what you need. If you always scanned everything you can pin the required items in the Hunter’s Guide, open the World Map and press to see their locations. You must always interact with a different Community Basket at a different camp to get a new delivery request.

Only the ones listed under “Specialties” count (regular Recipes don’t count). The best approach is to loot any Wicker Basket you come across.

	Apprentice Crafter Craft a weapon or gear piece of ‘superior’ rarity or higher.
First, you must unlock a weapon/armor crafting recipe of purple (superior) or yellow (exquisite) rarity. You get these from talking to merchants in the 3 Clan’s settlements, which you visit automatically during the story. Talk to a merchant and press to switch to the “Designs” tab. Then redeem all recipes they offer. They don’t cost anything so just grab them all. A merchant that offers this is in the Clouded Forest > Stone Cloud Valley > The Hollows. Now go to a crafting table, these are found in every Clan settlement. It will show all available crafting recipes. If you don’t have the required materials you can press to pin the materials. Then open the map (Touchpad) and press for the Material Tracker and to cycle between the materials. It will show where to find them. On the world map you can also press to show biomes that contain the materials. They will also show a “scent” line when nearby and scanning the relevant area with . But if you’re lucky you will already have found the required crafting materials. You can also talk to merchants at each Clan settlement if they are selling the materials you need (trade them for clan favor).

For this you must destroy all enemy Installations / Outposts / Bases. They are polluting the environment and destroying them helps clean the air. You can track the overall Air Quality level via the trophy list by clicking on the ‘Reclaim Pandora’ trophy. From story progress you will also unlock a quest called ‘Cleaning the Air’, then you can check Air Quality at the Resistance HQ too. Below are locations to everything needed for this. RDA Installations are the smallest enemy buildings, Outposts are mid-sized fortresses, and bases are the largest. On the map they have a brown color around them, which you can see even if the map is still fogged.

	One with the Clans Complete part 3 of the Aranahe Community, Zeswa Community, and Kame’tire Community side quests.
There are 3 Clans in the game, one in each of the 3 regions. Kinglor Forest = Aranahe Clan / Upper Plains = Zeswa Clan / Clouded Forest = Kame’tire Clan. For this trophy you must complete Part 3 of their “Community Contributions” questlines. These start by interacting with a Community Basket. One is always found at the Clan’s Home and the rest at Camps that look like red tents on the world map. Upon interacting with a Community Basket you get a popup that shows “New Clan Contributions” and asks you to deliver a specific plant or animal part. You can then track these by pressing Touchpad > Quests > Clan Contributions. In order to finish Part 3 you must do around 15 Clan Contribution deliveries per Clan (Kame’tire Clan requires fewer). Part 1 = 3 Clan Contributions Part 2 = 5 Clan Contributions Part 3 = 7 Clan Contributions To unlock a new Contribution Quest you have to interact with a different Community Basket every time. Interacting with the same basket won’t give a new Contribution quest. After you’ve unfogged the map you’ll see outlines of red tents on the map that represent camps. Each of them has a community basket. Interact with one in each camp to unlock all required Contribution Quests. It is recommended to first unfog most of the map and save this trophy for last. After you’ve been near each camp you can fast travel there immediately. After unfogging the map you’ll also be able to filter by habitat to see which area contains what sort of resources (also see Habitats Map). To do this press on the world map. Under Quests > Clan Contributions, it will show the required item and what main region it is in (below the quest name it will say in green text “Kinglor Forest” / “Clouded Forest” / “Upper Plains”). This will give you a search area to narrow it down, then use the Map’s habitat filter to see what areas are most likely to have this plant/animal. Additionally, you can use the Hunter’s Guide to track gatherable plants/wildlife, but only if you’ve scanned or harvested one before. Hence you should always scan everything you come across. In the Hunter’s Guide press to pin a required material, then on World Map press to view the location and to cycle between pinned materials. You can reduce the search by always harvesting anything you find and storing it in the stash in the Clan Homes (looks like a basket). If you’re lucky you will already have what you need and can pull it from your stash to put it in the Community Basket immediately. Important: The Zeswa Clan contribution questline may get “stuck” at Part 2. This is not a bug, to advance this questline you must complete side quests for the Zeswa clan. In case any other contributions questline gets stuck, do all available side quests for that Clan first to advance it. *Potential Bug* As of April 12, 2024 the Part 3 questline can bug out with the counter getting stuck at 0 Contributions. If you enter into the third region and then clear the map/make all Kame’tire contributions before progressing the story, it will grant you Part 1 and Part 2 but Part 3 will be stuck at 0/5 contributions even though you have made all contributions. There is no way to make more at that point and the trophy will not be able to be unlocked.
	Kinglor Carer Complete the final Steady Wings side quest.
For this you must finish all 3 Parts of the “Steady Wings” side questline. Each of these side quests starts in Kinglor Forest > Hometree (Aranahe Clan Home). On the top floor of the Hometree talk to Etuwa. Interact with the flower behind Etuwa to take out the queen moth. Track the quest from the quests menu, it will show green waypoints on the map. You must lead the queen moth there while keeping her stress levels low: don’t swim, don’t fly, don’t engage in combat. Running will increase the stress level but this is okay as long as you don’t reach maximum stress. Go to the waypoint to put the queen in a tree, then you get another waypoint to the next tree. After finishing Part 1, talk to the same quest giver at the top of Hometree again to get Part 2. After Part 2 talk to him again for Part 3. After finishing Part 3 the trophy will unlock.
	Becoming Na’vi Unlock 3 skills in each skill tree.
There are 5 Skill Trees, accessed by pressing Touchpad > Skills. Initially you only have access to 4 skill trees. The 5th skill tree unlocks after you unlock the flying mount in Main Quest 11: Take Flight. Simply buy any 3 skills in all 5 skill trees (15 skills total). You can pick the cheapest ones. All Skill Trees: Survivor Warrior Hunter Maker Rider You gain Skill Points from some quests, from interacting with Tarsyu Flowers and Tarsyu Saplings.
