HOW TO GET ALL TROPHIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN PREY

Recommended Videos

There are 49 trophies to earn in Prey, including 1 Platinum, 3 Gold, 7 Silver, 38 Bronze on the PS4 and 48 achievements on Xbox One and PC.  It is another game from Arkane Studios, the developers of the original Dishonored and it is very different to the Prey 2 that was announced years ago. To help you collect all of the trophies and aachievements in Prey, we’ve put together this handy guide.

TranStar Employee of the Year (Platinum) – Unlock all the other trophies in Prey and this will pop (PS4 only).

I And Thou – You completed the game in the most empathetic way possible. Prey works with an empathy point system and you need to finish the game with +4. To do so avoid refusing to help people, or letting them die. Do every side-quest you can and try to be helpful to everyone you meet along the way.

Do No Harm  – Finish the main game without killing any humans.

I And It  – During one play through, kill every human on Talos 1, and surrounding it.

Mimic Massacre – Kill five Mimics in five seconds at any time in the game.

Dead Calm  – Kill an enemy while using Combat Focus. Press L2/LT to activate it and kill the enemy before it ends.

Mimesis  – Mimic a Mimic. Use the Typhon Ability ‘Mimic Matter’ to Mimic a mimic.

Shapeshifter  – Use ‘Mimic Matter’ on 20 or more unique objects.

Know Thine Enemy  – Acquire a Typhon Power. Unlock one from the Neuromods menu once you can. You are allowed to a couple of hours in to the game.

Know Thyself  – Acquire a Human ability. They are the first kind of abilities you can unlock. This is unlocked once you have used your first Neuromod.

No Needles  – Complete the main part of the game without acquiring a Typhon Power or a Human Ability at any point. In order to accomplish this trophy/achievement, you’ll need to be very careful as you won’t be able to obtain any of the usual exploration and survival perks that make the game much easier. Hide, conserve resources, and make every shot count.

Split Affinity  – This one requires two playthroughs. You need to complete the game once acquiring only Typhon Powers and again acquiring only Human Powers. There can be no crossover of powers.

Engineer – Repair at least 20 objects, such as turrets and machines, on and around Talos I.

Operator  – Hack at least 20 hackable objects, such as doors and safes, on and around Talos I.

Deprogramming  – Use Mindjack to free a Mind-Controlled Human.

Tee One Up  – Kill an enemy while they are lifted into the air. It is easy to do so if you activate Combat Focus at the right time.

Escape Velocity – Blast yourself as an object for at least 20 meters while in normal gravity. You’ll need to have unlocked the ‘Kinetic Blast’ and ‘Mimic Matter’ skills to unlock this one. Head to an area with a larger open space, drop an item and mimic it. Then, switch your active ability to Kinetic Blast, use it, and you should fly across the room. If it isn’t far enough, just try again until it works.

It’s Alive  – Create a phantom using Phantom Genesis. Unlock the ‘Phantom Genesis’ skill, find a dead body somewhere and use the skill. A phantom will be summoned and you’ll unlock the trophy.

Thoughs Can Kill  – Kill a Human using Psychoshock.

Ball Lightning  – Use Electrostatic Burst to take out two or more Operators at once.

Transtar Gourmand – Consume one of every type of food and drink on Talos I.

Cold Dead Hands  – Use weapon upgrade packs to fully upgrade a weapon.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle  – Use a Recycler to recycle 20 objects at once.

Intrinsic Value  – Recycle yourself.

Missing Persons  – Located all the employees on Talos I.

Press Sneak  – Read every E-Mail on Talos I. Whenever you find a computer during your fist playthrough, read the e-mails on it so that you don’t have to return.

Psychometry  – Find and listen to all Transcribe Recordings. You will get most as you play through. Press the button to listen to it whenever the prompt appears. Will probably be one of the last trophies or achievements you unlock.

No Show – At the start of the game, before the outbreak when you head to the roof of your building, jump onto the front of the helicopter and into the blades, killing yourself.

The following trophies and achievements are “hidden” on the list. Most of them are directly tied to the story itself making the majority unmissable. Still, some do require a bit of direction, however, there are spoilers ahead for Prey’s plot and events. Read on only if you don’t mind knowing how some things play out.

The first plays when you go to Morgan’s office in ‘An Office With a View”, then next is in the mission ‘The Keys to the Kingdom’, the next is in the same mission but much later. When Alex invites you to his bunker you will find a transcribe. Go into ‘data’, then ‘audio logs’, then play the one called “If Things Go Sideways.” Listen to it and the trophy should pop.

Facsimile – You met January for the first time. This will happen automatically as you play.

A Friend in Need – You recovered Mikhaila’s booster shots and healed her.

The Gates of Hell – You helped all security officers survive the cargo bay battle.

Adrift – You rescued Dr. Igwe from a Cargo container. You will be able to do this by following the steps in ‘This Side Up.’ See ‘A Gift to the World’ for more information.

Black Market – You found all the Smuggler’s Dead Drops. They can all be collected once you reach the Cargo Bay area and have found Transcribe: Lily Morris in the Arboretum area of Talos I. Pick up the dead drop behind her body and you can start finding the rest. There are six in total.

You Rang? – You used the Psychotronics Satellite to dismiss or summon the Typhon Nightmare.

Makeup Exam – You returned to the Sim Lab and completed the Room A, B, and C. You need to have unlocked the neuromods: ‘Kinetic Blast I’, ‘Mimic Matter I’, and ‘Remote Manipulation I’. Return the area from the start of the game and in Room A, use Kinetic Blast on the blocks. For Room B, use Mimic Matter to turn into the chair, and for Room C, use Remote Manipulation to press the button on the other side of the room. The trophy should pop after you have done the three rooms.

A Different Side of Yu – Scan your Phantom Shift Duplicate with your Psychoscope. Easy to do at the same time as “It’s Alive!” Once you have done the former, switch to Phantom Shift and then shift forwards, quickly turn around and bring up your Psychoscope with R3. If done quick enough, you’ll scan your phantom and the trophy will pop.

Coffee Break – You found Dr. Calvino’s Secret Stash.

A Gift to the World – You found Gustaf Leither’s Connectome for Dr. Igwe. First, you need to save Dr. Igwe in the mission called ‘Doctor Igwe’, which is unlocked in the main mission ‘This Side Up’. Later on, in the ‘The Keys to the Kingdom’ quest, Alex will tell you to come up to his office. Instead, go to the crew quarters. This is the first time in the game where you’ll be able to get the Dr Igwe mission. Once there, Igwe will call you and give you a mission to get a Connectome for him, it’s in his crew quarters. If you are quick enough, you can get in the room and the music to unlock the safe will appear. If you missed this, simply play it again through the transcribe in your inventory. Bring the connectome back to Igwe, he can be found in your office in the Talos I lobby. The trophy will then pop.
