Godfall Trophy Guide & Roadmap

This trophy is awarded once you defeat Solaris, which is basically the tutorial boss at the start of the game.

This trophy is awarded once you defeat Zamora in the main mission “Zamora the Far-Seeing”. This mission recommends a minimum of level 9.

Zamora is a primarily magic-based enemy, who will cast spells at you from range and do mostly sweeping attacks in front of herself.  Watch for the Area-of-effect marks on the ground during spells and dodge away when close. When she reaches about half health she will put up a purple shield and start performing a ritual. When this happens there will be 3 totems spawned around the arena you need to break to drop the shield, then can get free damage in until she does an AOE attack at the end of the ritual. Watch for when she warps away from you she spawns some small weak mobs, which you can kill to potentially get some health pickups.

This trophy is awarded once you defeat Lunara in the main mission “The Silver Moon”. This mission recommends a minimum level of 18. The mission you unlock beforehand using the earth and water sigils isn’t the actual boss fight like occurred in the Earth Realm, the mission after is.

Lunara is a large enemy that wields a sword and shield, so when meleeing it you need to either be on a side where it isn’t holding its shield or basically standing under its legs. You can’t parry any of its sword attacks, so always try to dodge to either side to avoid it. It will summon orbs that will circle around it, or fire directly at you, but you can parry the orbs back at it to damage it. If you don’t parry or get hit by the orbs they stay in the arena for a period of time, then turn into specter enemies that will also attack you, so if you miss an orb it is a good idea to run over to it and attack it to destroy it or hit it towards the boss.

Once it reaches half health it will summon a large number of balls at once and fire them around the arena. You should try to destroy as many of these as you can so you have fewer spectres to deal with.  It will then keep a larger number of orbs circling itself, making it harder to damage. It doesn’t get any other attacks though aside from a large AOE field it will put up where it grabs you and shoots one orb at you.

This trophy is awarded once you defeat Grieves Sunsteel in the main mission “First of the Godsmiths”. This mission recommends a minimum level of 25.

Grieves Sunsteel wields a large hammer and deals almost all fire-based attacks, so if you happen to have any fire-resistant items at this point they will help here. He does mostly sweeping attacks with the hammer while close, but will also sometimes send out projectiles directly forward/backward and to each side. He will sometimes do attacks the leave large areas of fire on the floor around him, so watch for those and stay out of them until they go away.

When you reach the segments in his health bar he will run to one side of the arena and light sections of the floor on fire for a period of time. While this is happening he will throw fireballs at you, while weak fire enemies that explode when they get near you run from around the arena. When this happens your best bet is to either try and hit the enemies before they get to you which makes them not explode, or just focus on dodging as many as possible while waiting for the boss to finish throwing his fireballs and return to normal, where you can then keep fighting like before.

This trophy is awarded once you defeat Gilden Knight in the main mission “The Crucible of Souls”. This mission recommends a minimum level of 28.

Gilden Knight starts the fight with two weak Bound enemies, which you first need to defeat before you can damage him. He doesn’t do as much as the other bosses seem to do otherwise, and when you do start damaging him his shield seems to disappear and he gets stunned quite a bit, so you can do quite a bit of damage without a lot of danger until more enemies are summoned. He will eventually resummon the Bound enemies to shield himself, as well as Air Ripplers will start continually spawning, which causes there to be areas of slow time around the arena. Try to keep the enemies in check through this fight, and this one will probably seem easier than the prior two bosses.

This trophy is awarded once you defeat Macros in the main mission “Godfall”, which is the final main story mission. This mission recommends a minimum level of 30.

Macros’ melee move set is relatively similar to your own, as he uses the same weapons as he is a Valorplate. For the first phase, his melee attacks are Longsword based, and his one main move he will use throughout the whole fight is swinging around and throwing out purple ranged waves which deal Void damage. If you get hit by these it adds to a Corruption debuff on you, and if it maxes out you will be temporarily stunned.

When you reach the health bar segments Macros will jump into the air and start shooting down a series of void bolts, with a large ball at the end. Keep dodging to one side during this, don’t try to do anything else. When he drops after each section he will first start adding Polearm attacks, then Warhammer ones. Watch out if he ever becomes stunned, because you can perform Takedowns on him for a very large amount of damage.

There is no merit to track this trophy with, so it would be recommended you start using this skill early and as often as you have it available until you have earned this trophy.

There is no way to track any of these 5 weapon technique trophies, but you could just spam these moves outside of combat to earn these trophies, you don’t actually need to hit enemies.

Inner Focus is specifically the Northern Technique ( + ) for the Dual Blade type of weapons.  When you have at least one bar in the technique gauge you gain a powered up state for a limited period of time.

You can track this in the MERITS menu under COMBAT > DUELIST. You will be awarded the trophy after reaching BRONZE level but before SILVER level on that merit.

There is no way to track this trophy as there isn’t a merit associated with it associated it, so your best bet is to unlock the weakpoint ability early, then make an effort to hit weakpoints on enemies for damage.  You can tell if you have successfully executed a deathblow though because you have the text “DEATHBLOW” appear in the middle of the screen if you defeat an enemy that way.

If you want to try and farm this the easiest enemies to try it on would be the weak ranged ones in each area, because they always have a weakpoint opportunity after taking a shot.

They can be found while exploring the game world outside of missions and typically appear with groups of other enemies. You will more likely get this done while working on the Tower of Trials though, as you run into floors that spawn a few Elite Enemies in a row.

The hunt missions are also set up where you fight new Mid-Boss variants or refight story bosses and is how you will likely earn this trophy.

They appear as large gold pillars of light when using Spirit Vision with  , so you should make sure to be using that often when exploring the main overworld areas to find these. There isn’t a specific merit that tracks how many of these you have obtained, so you will just need to make sure you are on the lookout for these and grab them whenever you see them. These reappear in the same way that Motherlodes do always in the same spots each time you start a new mission in an area.

Earth Realm: Grants Infused Jasper

Water Realm: Grants Crystalline Tear

Air Realm: Grants Aetheric Filament

The first time you will likely obtain legendary drops is when you defeat the main story boss Zamora, where you will typically receive a couple of drops at once.

While running Ascended Tower you can do the rooms with the key icon to obtain more keys, but if you are still working on reaching floor 50 it is not recommended to do that. If you earn Ascendant before earning this trophy, you should work on it in the normal Tower of Trials as the enemies don’t scale above level 50 and are much easier.

NOTE: In the Primal update in February 2021 this trophy was updated to require reaching trial 20 (previously 50) due to the Tower being rebalanced and capping at floor 30. Since the update, this doesn’t unlock for every player when reaching trial 20 though and it currently isn’t known what causes the trophy to not unlock and what any fixes might be to make it unlock. For players that it unlocks correctly for it will pop when you enter the elevator after completing trial 19.

This trophy is awarded once you reach trial 20 in the Ascended Tower of Trials. The Ascended Tower is the higher-level version of the Tower of Trials, which requires 20 Coins of Valor to enter and starts enemies out at level 50. This is basically the end-game pinnacle activity of Godfall and will require working towards a specific build so that you can reach it.

If you want to get an idea of how the Ascended Tower works before starting, you can take a run through the normal Tower first. You have a round of enemies on the elevator in between floors with a key reward based on how quickly you defeat them, then you pick a door that has a different symbol on it corresponding to the reward type in the room (Primal update added text under each symbol to tell you what the rewards are now). The color corresponds to the rarity of the chests/boons you can choose from when you finish the round in the rooms. Occasionally your reward from all the rooms will be a selection of a status boon such as an increased chance of certain ailments or higher defense against certain damage types. After every third room you will have to choose a negative buff when you return to the elevator before you can progress, which range from things like increased enemy defense to removing a lifestone. After around trial 7 – 10 you will start having “banes” when you enter some rooms (this is random and isn’t bound to a specific room rarity) which start out as removing your ability to use your lifestones then progressing to removing ability to use banner or Archon Fury for the specific room.

When progressing you can always try to pick green rooms for a slightly easier time because room rarity does somewhat affect the room difficulty. For boon rooms, you can try for higher-level ones, because some higher-level boons are incredibly helpful.  Since the tower rebalanced you get keys way more than before, so you don’t need to worry about saving them unless you get a boon like the one that increases defense for holding onto 30+ keys.

When picking negative boons every third round you likely want to pick the ones related to enemy effects instead of personal effects, because the personal ones seem to be slightly buggy. DO NOT pick the one that removes a lifestone unless it the one you are picking on trial 18. This negative boon appears to be bugged and if picked early will eventually just remove all of your lifestones (and potentially screws up your maximum health). You should only take that on trial 18 just because only losing one lifestone isn’t a huge deal, and you only need to get through 2 more trials once you are picking the negative boon at trial 18.
