Forspoken Trophy Guide & Roadmap

First you must have finished the story (all 12 Chapters). After the story the game asks you to make a save, do this and in the title screen click “Continue”. After the story it now spawns new Detours (Side Quests). In Cipal, talk to Pilo in the lower city. He gives you the quest “Cipal Reborn”. See the starting point below:

Simply complete this quest, the trophy unlocks at the end. You will need to help 3 people (get cat food, find flowers, find bench parts). All objectives are marked on the map and you can hold to be shown the way to the destination.

First you must have finished the story (all 12 Chapters). After finishing Chapter 12 it will ask if you want to create a save, do this and then click “Continue” in the title screen to keep playing. Talk to Johedy in the upper city of Cipal, she’s on the stairs in the middle:

After this quest you can talk to Pilo in the Cipal Tavern to start “Dancing in Cipal: Encore”. After doing that you can talk to him again in the same spot for “Dancing in Cipal: Finale”:

Choose to dance with him and press all buttons that show on the screen. If you fail a button you can retry the dance from the start as often as you need. The button sequence is the same each time so you can memorize it. After finishing the pressing all buttons in the second dance it unlocks the trophy.

Where to say the Prayers:

Prayer Unlock Requirements:

1. Olevia = Available in Chapter 4 as soon as the Chapter starts
2. Robian = Becomes available during Chapter 10 (after you go to the archives in Cipal)
3. The Tantas = Available after Story (after finishing Chapter 12 the game asks you to create a save, do this and click “Continue” in Title Screen to start the post-story Chapter 13)
4. Cinta = Available after Detour “Lost Lullabies”. This Detour is available after the story in Cipal. After finishing Chapter 12 it will ask if you want to create a save, do this and then click “Continue” in the title screen to keep playing. Talk to Johedy in the upper city of Cipal, she’s on the stairs in the middle. Then complete her quest and fast travel back to Cipal. The prayer for Cinta will now be available.

For all 9 Chasing Cat Detours refer to: Forspoken All Detours (Side Quests) Locations

After doing all 9 Cat Chases, you can trade the Poppets for 4 Items with the merchant in the center of Cipal, see the location below:

Afterward you can still build camps at any time (must be outside Cipal) by holding when you have enough firewood in your inventory. Firewood is found scattered around the map.

» Forspoken All Collectible Locations (recommended, covers all collectible types region by region to reduce backtracking)
» Forspoken All Monument Locations (for specifically just the Monuments)

As “Points of Interest” the game only counts certain types of yellow map markers (Collectibles). It doesn’t count the types that give other trophies (except Abominations which count). You can keep track via the PS5’s built-in trophy tracker. There are a lot more than 100 of them, they get revealed when unfogging the map. The best approach is to clear all collectibles region by region and combine it with the other collectible types to reduce backtracking around the map.

The following DO count:

•  4 Abominations
•  25 Caves
•  26 Cognoscents’ Guilds
•  21 Fortresses
•  13 Locked Labyrinths
•  8 Relics of the Tantas
•  36 Ruins (Ruined Villages)
•  4 Tanta Gates (3 story-related)
•  11 Traces
•  39 Villages

The following do NOT count:

•  48 Belfries
•  20 Tanta’s Familiars (Familiar Statues)
•  20 Flashbacks (Monuments to Wisdom)
•  12 Founts of Blessing
•  54 Monuments
•  39 Mutants
•  50 Photo Spots
•  47 Pilgrim’s Refuges

1. Frey’s Magic = 902 Mana
2. Sila’s Magic = 878 Mana
3. Prav’s Magic = 722 Mana
4. Ola’s Magic = 698 Mana

= 3200 Mana total

Note: There are 3 trophies for unlocking spells that all sound similar, but each with slightly different unlock requirements –  Realized Potential = Buy All Spells that cost Mana,  Call of the Fount: Beatified = Get the 12 Spells from Founts of Blessing Collectibles,  Paragon = Buy all Mana Spells + Get All Fount Spells.

» Forspoken All Founts of Blessing Locations (for specifically just the Founts)

1. Frey’s Magic = 902 Mana
2. Sila’s Magic = 878 Mana
3. Prav’s Magic = 722 Mana
4. Ola’s Magic = 698 Mana

Step 2: Fast travel to any Refuge, access the workbench, click “Craft”. The Sewing Kit unlocked 2 new pieces of craftable equipment: Cloak “Unbroken” & Necklace “Home Sweet Hell”. Craft these 2 and also craft 1 Health Draught (the Health Draught can be skipped if you already crafted one earlier in the game). Each equipment costs 3 Fluteblossoms, 3 Bumbershoot, 3 Lucid Garlands. So in total 6 of each resource to craft both.

• Fluteblossoms: Many are found in Junoon > The Harvest Lands > finish  Altar of Aasaan, then step through the purple portal up the stairs > will teleport you to  The Forbidden Meadow. Many Fluteblossoms grow there. Alternatively, they are often found in Treasure Chests, marked by purple dots on the map, especially in late-game areas.
  
• Bumbershoot: Found frequently in Treasure Chests (purple dots on map) in Junoon > Crosstide Coast / Nearcoast Terrace / Farcoast Terrace and other late-game areas.
  
• Lucid Garlands: Dropped by yellow-glowing monsters inside blue storms. You can farm these repeatedly in Junoon > Farcoast Terrace. A storm is always active there. You can reach this after the story via Junoon > The Wolfwoods > jump into Depths of Corruption in the north of the region > you will reach Crosstide Coast, surf across the lake eastward, climb the pillars that have a treasure chest and use the L3+R3 teleport ability to cross the gaps to Farcoast Terrace (ability unlocked after story). Different types of yellow-glowing Breakstorm enemies will drop different Garlands, just keep fighting through all of them, should they no longer drop anything you can exit the region, fast travel away and return to farm them again.
  

After crafting these equipment pieces the trophy will unlock.

Here is the location:

After getting the skill you perform it by holding to run, jump and press AFTER you hear Frey’s feet touch the ground. Don’t press the button before landing. You must press it with a delay AFTER having landed. You can also look for the golden sparks around Frey after she landed, that’s when you need to press .

Do this successfully 5 times in a row without failing any shimmy. If you don’t do it correctly it resets the counter and you must do 5 again. Do it where you have a lot of space, ideally where the environment is relatively flat.

Step 1: Finish Chapter 8 of the story to unlock Prav’s Magic set. Open the Magic Menu and scroll to Prav’s skill tree, in the bottom right is the “Glide” skill. Press Touchpad on it, this marks the “Lilac Fount” that you must visit to unlock the spell. You can’t reach it right away, the earliest you reach this region is Chapter 11. After the story you can fast travel back there to free-roam around the region.

Step 2: After the story fast travel back to Visoria. From “Visorian Plateau” (the name is shown in the top right of the map screen) you need to head south to “Inner Visoria”. Then you enter a long tunnel to southernmost point of the map to reach the Lilac Fount. Jump into the Fount to unlock the “Glide” spell.

Step 3: Go to any Refuge (hideout with a bed) and interact with the bookshelf. Accept the spell challenge for the Glide spell. Complete the challenge by gliding for 5 seconds. You do this by jumping off a cliff and holding in midair. After the story you will have enough stamina from main quest rewards. Completing the spell challenge makes it consume less stamina so that you can float for longer in a single use.

Step 4: After completing the challenge open the Magic Menu and click on the Float spell to level it up. Now it consumes less stamina, allowing you to float in the air for longer.

Step 5: Jump off a cliff and hold for 10 seconds to float. Now that you completed the spell challenge it will last longer to easily do 10 seconds in one use.

You can easily do it against groups of Breakzombies. Stand in front of them, wait for one to attack, then press when you see the white glow around Frey just when the zombie hits you. To make enemy groups respawn simply use fast travel and come back. A good location for it is in Praenost > The Guardians’ Way, right at the border to Dianthus Wood. There is a big group of Breakzombies there.

Important: You must have auto-dodge disabled or else Frey will automatically dodge all incoming attacks and you won’t have a chance to counter! You can turn auto-dodge off under > Settings > Gameplay Balance > Auto-Evasion = OFF.

This should happen naturally over time. A quick strategy is to use Sila’s Magic (unlocked after Chapter 5) and equip the “Arc Slice” with . Then hold down to power up the flame sword and hit enemies until they get knocked down. This works especially well on zombies, found in the north-east of the map, just east outside the capital “Cipal”. You can also try it on other enemies, they usually fall on the floor when their health is low and you dealt a lot of damage in one hit.

Now simply get 3 weak enemies close together. Simply run in circles around them. Then face them and press + . It needs to kill all 3 in one use. A good spot is the “Barren Plains” area in the north-east of the map, just east of the capital “Cipal”. There are zombies walking around there that die from a single Surge Attack. Any other low-health enemy group will work too, or you can weaken stronger enemies first to make them die in 1 hit.

You can now switch between your spell sets by pressing / or holding and then holding > / .

To start, select Frey’s Magic (your starting magic that uses ranged projectiles). Press and select the “Bind” supportive spell at the top (the trophy calls this “Tangled” but in-game it’s called “Bind”). Then use it with on an enemy, this will bind the enemy with roots on the ground. While this is in effect, press to switch to Sila’s magic and kill that same enemy with Sila’s spells, such as “Arc Slice” (fire sword).

This is best done on weak enemies that die quickly. For example, the zombies in the north-east of the map, just east outside the capital “Cipal” (early story area). Alternatively, you can weaken an enemy first so that it dies in 1 hit after using the Bind spell.

You can now switch between your spell sets by pressing / or holding and then holding > / .

To start, select Ola’s Magic. Hit enemies until your Surge attack is filled up (during combat it’s the middle icon in the bottom right corner). This fills up a little with each hit you land. When it’s filled up you can press + while having Ola’s magic equipped to cast “Tempest”. This stuns all enemies in a radius around you. Make sure there are 3 or more enemies close together. If it doesn’t work on the first try you must charge up the Surge skill again by doing more kills, then use it again. Try to get the enemies close together before using it, if they are too far away it won’t stun them.

1. Frey’s Magic = From the Start
2. Sila’s Magic = Story Unlock After Chapter 5
3. Prav’s Magic = Story Unlock After Chapter 8
4. Ola’s Magic = Story Unlock during Chapter 11

You can switch between these magic “skill trees” by pressing / during combat. Use one spell of each set during the same combat encounter to get this trophy.

• Around 250/464 entries come automatically from doing Story + Detours + Events.
• Rest comes from: Finding a new Crafting Material for the first time, defeating a new enemy type for the first time, each piece of Equipment (Cloaks, Accessories, Nails, any purchasables from shops or crafting), Tanta’s Familiars, Yellow Points of Interest (marked on map) that show “Archive Entry” as a reward in purple text when you scroll over them.

If you did the majority of Side Quests and Events during the story, you will naturally get this while working on the collectible cleanup. If you ignored all of the Side Quests and Events you can still reach 80% (it’s not missable), but you will have to do more of the Points of Interest (yellow map markers) that give “Archive Entry” as a reward. Many of these give 2 or more entries. So you can easily compensate for any missed story entries by doing a few extra collectibles.

In other words: as you gain game completion you will automatically get these entries along the way, don’t worry about it, just do the collectibles that you need for other trophies anyway.

Now open Ola’s Magic skill tree, scroll over the spell “Suppression” and press Touchpad to mark the Fount of Blessing on the map that unlocks it. It’s the Juniper Fount in Avoalet > The Moulderings. See the location below:

You can get there after the story by fast-travelling to Avoalet > Samum Coast: Western Refuge (or other fast travel points in the region if you unlocked them earlier). At Samum Coast you must surf across the lake from west to east. At the east end of the lake you find another fast travel point “Samum Coast: Eastern Refuge”. Follow the grassy area behind it until the very end, you get to a path leading uphill. Reach the top of the mountain, from there you can reach the Fount. Jump in and it will unlock the “Suppression” spell in Ola’s skill tree.

Now go find a group of enemies. Kill the enemies and leave only 1 alive. If you keep multiple enemies alive the trophy may not work in some cases. The safest option is to leave specifically just 1 single enemy alive. Then activate the “Suppression” spell ( ) to render yourself invisible and stand completely still until you turn visible again (don’t press any buttons). The trophy should pop after that. For example, you can do it at a group of 3 Breakzombies slightly east of Cipal:
