Episode 1: Archer’s Paradox – Episode 2: Hunting Grounds

This trophy stretches over the first 2 episodes. You find the “gift” near the end of episode one. It counts as a Scavenge Item and are needed for the collectible trophies. When you enter the locked room by using a severed hand, turn right and open the drawer. Next you want to walk onto the ceiling to collect the item.

Next, at the very start of episode 2 – talk to Khan at the bridge and choose to give her the gift.

Episode 2: Hunting Grounds

The medicine is very well hidden. Follow the video for the precise location. Later in the episode when you’re back on the ship, find the twins in the kitchen and offer them the medicine.

Episode 2: Hunting Grounds

The Mushroom Powder is another Scavenge Item and are needed for all collectibles trophies. The powder is find in the big open area at the start of the episode, you find it inside a cabinet after ascending through a elevator shaft.

Like every other misc trophy, the locations are shown in a video under each episode above – the 100% guides.

When you return to the ship, find Virgil in the kitchen and give him the powder.

Episode 2: Hunting Grounds

When you return to the ship in episode 2, go to Cox’s room and find his bottle of scotch in a cabinet.

Go the hangar bay and find him in the corner in a closed cell. Give him the bottle to unlock the trophy.

Episode 2: Hunting Grounds

On the ship in the hangar bay area, you’ll find Maya. Interact with the Music Player and choose: “Try me” to earn the trophy. If you talk to Maya first and agree to leave then you’ll miss the trophy.

Episode 2: Hunting Grounds

You need to get the decoder Scavenge Item (also shown in 100% video for epsiode) to earn this trophy. When you’re back on the ship, go to Virgil’s room and use the decoder to seach his computer.

Episode 4: Impossible Objects

Near the middle of the episode, you will encounter some drones. This encounter is super short and simple. Take your time and evade them all (remember to pick up the collectible close to the exit of the area).

This trophy is shown in the 100% video for episode 4 under Data Miner.

This trophy stretches from the very start of the game. Some choices may or may not be needed. Just make sure that the big decisions are made correct, like don’t sacrifice Rayen’s leg in episode 1.

List of choices:

Episode 1: Archer’s Paradox

• Near the start of the game, when you first encounter the twins, choose: “Cut this shit out” (May be needed for the trophy)

Episode 3: First Ones

• By the very end of the episode, when you’re facing the twins, choose: “Trust him”

Episode 5: Europa’s Folly

• Near the very start of the episode, choose: “Fight back”

Episode 5: Europa’s Folly

When you’re talking to Virgil, choose:

• “Stay with him”
• “Things are bade. But you’ve been through worse.” >
• “You’re afraid your fake identity will be found out” >
• “You can go back to being our medic” >
• “Not mine to give”

This trophy leans a lot on Brother’s Reaper. The choices are the same.

Episode 1: Archer’s Paradox

• When you find Rayen stuck and you need to make an important choice, choose: “Lose the vault”

• Find the medicine and give it to the twins – see Drug Gifter

Episode 3: First Ones

• By the very end of the episode, when you’re facing the twins, choose: “Trust him”
  

Maya will be shot by the end of the episode, and Arlen will tell you later on that she is dead, which is a lie. Simply complete the game and she’ll be alive by the end.

This is one of easiest cre members to keep alive – just do the requirements for the following trophies:

• Stogie for Fogey – Give Khan a Gift
• Doctor Approved – Found a Laser Crystal for Virgil

The trophies are also part of the 100% video guides listed under each episode.

In order to keep Cox alive you need to make specific choices early in the game.

List of choices:

Episode 1: Archer’s Paradox

• By the very end of the episode, choose: “Throw him in the brig” (or else he will die)

Episode 2: Hunting Grounds

• Find the bottle of scotch in his quarters, then bring it to Cox in the hangar bay cell ( Bottoms up!)

Now simply complete the game, succeed in all QTE’s (just to be sure) and he will be alive.
