Titanfall 2 Trophy Guide & Roadmap

This will also earn you the “The Student…” trophy or achievement.

In the very first mission you must go through a training. To place in the top 3 you must beat the Gauntlet Parkour in under 33.65 seconds. This is quite challenging and I recommend you keep this trophy for last.
The time here is very limited. If you make a single mistake you have to restart (pause the game and select retry if you mess up).

This is very skill dependent and it could take a while. It comes down to practice and memorizing all the moves.
You must kill all 15 enemies in the parkour. If you miss one it will add a few seconds to your time.

For my loadout I used the EPG (rocket launcher), EVA-8 Auto (Shotgun) and Arc Grenades. Use Arc Grenades to kill groups. Always do wall dashes from one wall to the next to gain speed.

Here are some more tips:

• You have to be moving at all times.
• When wall running always push the left stick forward (not to the side). When you push the stick to the side you may slow down and fall off the wall. This is especially true in the long corridor before the last room.
• Start out with the rocket launcher and once it’s empty you switch to the Shotgun. This way you will never have to reload.
• The most time can be lost in the first and last room.
• First room: you must be wall-dashing at every opportunity. First, double jump up the wall to the left (before the starting line). From that wall jump to the right wall in the first big room. Now immediately jump dash along that wall again. Another double jump to the circular structure on the ceiling. As you jump off that circular thing throw a grenade to take out all 3 enemies, then another jump to the wall on the right (hold the stick to the far right to “aim” where you want to dash). As you fall down that wall shoot the rocket launcher underneath the opening in the path, to take out one of the enemies before you have to slide under it.
• Last room: you must perform a tricky jump here. As you run along the right wall you must jump off and during your jump shoot the first enemy target. Now immediately jump-dash onto the right wall. As you run along that wall shoot the last target. What I did was to go back and forth the area without finishing the parkour and I just practiced this one jump for 30 minutes until I was sure I could do it.

Mission 3: Blood and Rust
There are two friendly titans at the start of the third mission. They are Lt. Shaver and Lt. Freeborn. You must clear the first area and keep both of them alive. If one of them dies you must restart the mission.
Kill all enemies as quickly as possible. Run up to the enemies so they focus their fire on you and not your allies. This is best done on easy difficulty.

Use the rocket launcher to take out the infantry quickly (locks onto enemies automatically).

Mission 5: Effect and Cause (Chapter 2)
This can be done right after you learn how to time travel (main objective: take Anderson’s wrist-mounted device).
In the first room after learning time travel there’s a powler. You must enter the cage in present time, then travel to the past to see the powler. Shoot it and the trophy will unlock.

When you select Mission 5, Chapter 2 in mission select you will start at the spot from the video and won’t have to replay the entire mission.

Mission 6: The Beacon (Chapter 3)
This can be done near the end of “The Beacon” mission, during the main objective “Get a working module from the dish”.
There are some green wall panels that you can shoot with the Arc weapon. This will activate nearby robots, also called stalkers. There are 3 wall panels and each one unlocks 2 robots. They will follow you around and protect you.

If you’ve already beaten the mission you can jump to this section in mission select (chapter 3 of mission 6).

Mission 9: The Fold Weapon (Slone Boss Fight)
You can do this against the final boss called “Slone”. This doesn’t work on normal titans.
Damage Slone until her health is nearly depleted. Then run up to her and perform a melee attack (when the yellow health bar starts to show). This will result in a special takedown animation.

It can only be done against certain bosses. On some bosses it doesn’t work because they explode instantly and you can’t melee them.

Mission 4: Into the Abyss (chapter 1)
After you encounter the first Titans in this mission, a gate will open up and 3 Titans spawn (this is 2-3 minutes into the mission).
Damage them until they have very little health left. Damaging them automatically powers up your core abilities.

Use the Burst Core (Expedition Loadout) to kill them quickly. The important part is that you damage them so much that they will die in 1-2 hits. The burst core doesn’t stay active for long.
You can restart the checkpoint if you need to try again.

Mission 9: The Fold Weapon
During this mission you will get a new Titan that comes with a minigun. It has an ability called “Smart Core” which automatically targets enemies. It also shows you the amount of enemies in the current area.
After fighting a bunch of Titans you will go through a tunnel with 30+ enemies. Wait for them to group up and then use the Smart Core. This should very easily get you 25+ kills in 2 seconds. Just stay at the opposite end of the tunnel so all enemies will be in your line of sight.

You can restart the checkpoint to try again.

Mission 3: Blood and Rust
At the very start of this mission you will encounter some enemy titans. Exit your own titan (press square-button) and simply jump on top of an enemy titan. Do it once to get the “Cowboy Up” trophy and do it a few times to destroy the titan for “You can be my Wingman anytime”.

Mission 9: The Fold Weapon
At the very start of the mission you will obtain a pistol with auto-aim during a cutscene (unmissable). It kills all enemies in one hit and has 100% accuracy!
You can do the trophy on the first group of enemies in this mission. Do a wall run and just keep shooting when the enemies are in your line of sight. Very easy in this mission.

Mission 3: Blood and Rust
At the very start of this mission you will encounter some enemy titans. Exit your own titan (press square-button) and simply jump on top of an enemy titan. Do it once to get the “Cowboy Up” trophy and do it a few times to destroy the titan for “You can be my Wingman anytime”.

When you beat the game on Master you unlock all the other difficulty-related trophies (for regular & hard), too.

When you beat the game on Master you unlock all the other difficulty-related trophies (for regular & hard), too.

There are a bunch of hard sections, but it’s totally doable. Some of the boss fights and encounters with other Titans can be a bit tricky. Just stay back, evade the core attacks from enemy titans and make good use of your own core abilities. You can usually dash to the side or use your shield ability to get out of harms way. Also hide behind structures so you can’t get attacked by multiple enemies at once. The infantry enemies while on foot shouldn’t give you too much trouble. Either stay behind cover and take them out one by one, or use invisibility (press L1) and wallrun past them to quickly reach the next checkpoint.

You can also do this via mission select. It will show a checkmark on all missions that have been completed on Master. There are reports of it not unlocking via mission select. If that happens, try replaying the last mission. Also replay the first training mission (The Pilot’s Gauntlet) and set the difficulty to Master via the game options after the first cutscene. It’s safer to do in a completely new playthrough to avoid any glitches.

My preferred tactics:

On foot: Activate invisibility and wallrun past all enemies. You can skip 90% of the enemies in the game. This is a lot faster than fighting everyone.

In Titan: Use the Tone Titan class and cast the shield with L1. You can shoot through the shield but enemies cannot. When your shield is depleted go back into cover and wait for it to recharge and repeat. Remember to dash away when your shield is down. When your yellow health bar shows you can pick up one battery and the health bar will fully recharge. This is better than picking up batteries right away because you can restore a full yellow health bar with only one battery (normally you’d only get one health bar segment). So save all green batteries until your health turns yellow and quickly dash to pick them up. The Expedition class is also good for dealing lots of damage (zoom is using L2 to shoot enemies for more accuracy). For all the boss fights I used the Tone class, casted my shield, attacked the enemy, waited for shield to reacharge and repeated the process.

When you beat the game on Master you unlock all the other difficulty-related trophies (for regular & hard).

Here is an overview of where you get all 8:

1. Expedition: Your starting loadout, you have it automatically when you enter the titan for the first time in mission 2.
2. Tone: At the start of Mission 3: Blood and Rust. After clearing the first area of enemies you will go into the sewers. Here you will walk right into this gun, seems unmissable.
3. Scorch: At the start of Mission 4: Into the Abyss. After dropping down into the pool of water you will have to go up a hill and walk right into it, seems unmissable.
4. Brute: A few minutes into Mission 4: Into the Abyss. A gate will open up and 3 titans spawn behind it. After defeating them you’ll walk right into it. It’s on a huge gun rack in the area with the landing pad.
5. Ion: At the end of Mission 5: Effect and Cause. This could potentially be missed. After fighting a bunch of titans in the outside area you go into another building where you must hack a console with your knife. In that some room, on the wall, is the loadout. You must time travel to the past to see it.
6. Ronin: Start of Mission 6: The Beacon. In front of the poison clouds, where you have to enter your titan to proceed. Seems unmissable.
7. Northstar: A few minutes into Mission 7: Trial by Fire. After going up the elevator you will walk right through it, unmissable.
8. Legion: This is the starting loadout of your new titan in Mission 9: The Fold Weapon. Unmissable, you’ll have it equipped when entering your titan in this mission.

In Mission select you can see how many Collectibles you have found. Additionally, you can pause the game anytime and see a little collectible tracker in the bottom right. They all look like glowing Pilot Helmets and you must pick them up while on foot (not in your Titan). Once you find them they are saved instantly. You can quit out to the main menu immediately without losing any progress and you don’t have to get them again if you die.
None of the Pilot Helmets are missable, they can be collected via mission select at any time.

There are 11 missions and they all contain at least one collectible.
You also get the trophies “Off the Beaten Path” for finding 10 Collectibles and “Collector” for finding 25 Collectibles.

For a full breakdown of how many there are per mission please refer to the Titanfall 2 Collectible Guide.
