Welcome to our Abzu Trophy Guide for PS4. In this guide, you will find strategies and tips for unlocking every trophy on your way to 100% completion. We have broken the journey up into easily digestible phases with expert information packed into each one. With this, anyone should be able to conquer this game and its challenges.

Phase One – Enjoy The Game

During this phase of the Abzu Trophy Guide, you should focus on playing through the game at your own pace. Abzu is a fantastic journey which you should take the time to absorb and enjoy. You can collect Sea shells, free trapped fish, and meditate on Shark statues as you like, but first and foremost, just enjoy the game.

Nothing is missable in Abzu as you have access to a Chapter Select feature once you’ve finished the brief story. Make sure you follow the Shark Statue, Ecosystem, and Shell tables to make sure you’ve found everything in each chapter as you progress or via Chapter Select and you won’t have any trouble.
