Trophy Guide
Adore Trophy Guide and Road Map for PS4 & PS5
Welcome to our Adore Trophy Guide. Adore is an interesting indie game in which you take control of an “Adorer;” someone who captures and fights using creatures from the wild. Kind of like Pokemon, but with far less polish and vastly different gameplay.
A blend of top-down procedurally-generated dungeon-crawling gameplay and the monster-catching RPG meta, Adore offers a rather unique gameplay experience that actually works quite well in practice. There are, however, quite a few graphical and gameplay glitches that occur. None of these glitches ever blocked a trophy for me, but I did lose a small amount of progress a few times.
Overall, the trophy journey is reasonable and enjoyable, but is closed off with an excruciating RNG-based grind that I wouldn’t honestly recommend unless you love the game.
Phase One | Complete the Story
Nothing is missable in Adore, so you’re free to just tackle the story at your own pace. Feel free to run headlong into it and not stop until you’re done, or avoid progressing the story while you over-train your team and make things easier on yourself.
However you choose to play, you have only one objective in this phase of our Adore Trophy Guide; finish the story!
Unmissable Story Trophies

First Bond
Capture your first creature

Shopping
Buy an artifact

Ancient Power
Equip a rune
During the main story campaign, you will unavoidably receive a “Bond of Fortitude” rune.
When you return to the village, you’ll be tasked with equipping it at the shrine on the north side of the village. Upon doing so, you’ll unavoidably receive the Ancient Power trophy!


B'koro
Defeat B'koro
Throughout the story of Adore, there are several 0ther Adorers you’ll need to defeat in boss fights to progress the story. The first such boss is B’Koro. After defeating him, you’ll immediately receive the B’Koro trophy.


Blessed
Capture a blessed creature
During Adore’s Story Campaign, you will be tasked with capturing a Blessed Creature. Blessed Creatures need to be captured twice before they’re actually captured, which means you’ll need two Particles to be able to catch one. This is all explained in the game, though, and the Blessed trophy is completely unmissable.


Tarl
Defeat Tarl
Throughout the story of Adore, there are several 0ther Adorers you’ll need to defeat in boss fights to progress the story. The second Adorer boss is Tarl. After defeating him, you’ll immediately receive the Tarl trophy.


Kisara
Defeat Kisara
Throughout the story of Adore, there are several other Adorers you’ll need to defeat in boss fights to progress the story. The third Adorer boss is Kisara. After defeating her, you’ll immediately receive the Kisara trophy.


Dukur's Apprentice
Capture your first legendary creature
You will be tasked with capturing Louxar as part of the story. This being the very first Legendary Creature that you catch, you will unlock the Dukur’s Apprentice trophy unavoidably at this point.


Adventurer
Explore all maps
The story will naturally take you to all five explorable maps in the game, so you needn’t worry about the “Adventurer” trophy, as it will unlock unavoidably.


Kyn
Defeat Kyn
Throughout the story of Adore, there are several other Adorers you’ll need to defeat in boss fights to progress the story. One such Adorer boss is Kyn. After defeating them, you’ll immediately receive the Kyn trophy.


Raad
Defeat Raad
Throughout the story of Adore, there are several other Adorers you’ll need to defeat in boss fights to progress the story. One such Adorer boss is Raad. After defeating them, you’ll immediately receive the Raad trophy.


Guardian of Draknar
Complete the main questline
“Guardian of Draknar” is the final trophy you should earn in this phase of our Adore trophy guide. Upon earning it, you will have beat the main storyline and will enter the credits.
At the end of the credits, you will have access to some new gameplay features and will have entered phase two of our guide…

Phase Two | Post-Story Activities
After beating the game, you will enter the post-game. Here, you’ll have access to new gameplay features and will retain all of your creatures, artifacts, runes, and upgrades.
As this phase of the game starts, you’ll have a few more quests you can complete, which will introduce you to the new features, so these are where you should start.
From there, there are several trophies you can earn by completing activities and making progress. As you’ll have a bit of time to kill, you should work on upgrading your runes, artifacts, and creatures, while also trying to catch as many unique Super Blessed creatures as you can to get a head start on future tasks.
Post-Story Trophies

Archeologist
Clear a dungeon
After completing your first Ascension Trial in the post-game, you will be tasked with asking Baldin about Dungeons. After doing so, he’ll send you to a Dungeon in the Desert to collect some Partja Gems.
Dungeons require a Chest Key to open, so make sure you have one and don’t use it on your way there!
Once inside a dungeon, clear all enemies from every room. Upon clearing the final room, the Archeologist trophy will unlock!


Gem Handler
Use a gem in an artifact
When Baldin sends you into your first Dungeon, it will be in pursuit of Partja Gems. These Gems can be used to add modifiers to your artifacts.
Upon returning to the refuge with at least one Gem, go to Baldin on the east side of the village and select “Modificate my Artifacts.” From there, choose an artifact to modify and a Gem to attach to it.
There’ll be a price to pay in Gold for the service, but as soon as you do this for the first time, the Gem Handler trophy will unlock.


Adept Adorer
Complete quests of the Depth VI
After helping Maena by capturing and bringing them the Spreek they want to see, you will unlock access to Depth VI; one of three post-game difficulties.
There are 7 missions to complete at this Depth Level, all of which are clearly marked on your objectives list. Complete these objectives as and when you receive them to eventually unlock Depth Level VII and unlock the Adept Adorer trophy.


Expert Adorer
Complete quests of the Depth VII
After unlocking Adept Adorer, you will unlock access to Gaterdrik Depth Level VII. As with the Adept Adorer trophy, you will need to complete 7 missions on this new depth; one of each mission type.
Each objective will be clearly marked on your to-do list as you progress, so simply complete those objectives to naturally unlock the Expert Adorer Trophy.

Master Adorer
Complete quests of the Depth VIII
After unlocking Expert Adorer, you will unlock access to Gaterdrik Depth Level VIII. As with the Adept & Expert Adorer trophies, you will need to complete 7 missions on this new depth; one of each mission type.
Each objective will be clearly marked on your to-do list as you progress, so simply complete those objectives to naturally unlock the Master Adorer Trophy.

Ascended
Complete an ascension trial
Around the time you gain access to Depth Level VI, you will also gain access to the “Ascension” tab on the world map.
On this tab, you’ll see a tree of inter-connected creatures. From this tree, you can select and build a team of creatures that you have in your collection.
Once you have selected 4 creatures, you will need to complete a full 3-level Expedition with that team. If you manage to successfully reach and use the Refuge portal at the end of the expedition, the creatures from your team will become highlighted on the ascension tree, indicating that you have completed the trial once with those creatures.
To unlock the Ascended trophy, you will need to beat an Ascension Expedition using 6 different team combinations from this tree, until you’ve beat an expedition with all 24 creatures at least once, filling the tree and completing the Ascension Trial.
It’s going to be really difficult to beat any Ascension Expedition without at least 2 of your team members being Level 5 and having plenty of Synergies and Traits, so you will want to spend a bit of time catching and training select creatures to improve your chances of success.
Phase Three | Catch 'em All!
With some of the game’s toughest trophies (Master Adorer, Ascended) out of the way, you’ve proven your ability to earn the Platinum Trophy, and solidified your chances. Adore’s challenge is going to start slipping away here as we move on to targeting the game’s longest grinds.
By now, you’ve probably amassed quite an impressive collection of creatures, but you’re going to need to capture every single one. That’s not all, you’ll also need to catch a Blessed and Super Blessed version of each creature at least once. Fortunately, the “Hunts” mechanic available in the post-game will help you to make this process less influenced by RNG.
Catch All Creatures

Rune Expert
Find all runes
There are 10 Runes to collect in Adore, 9 of which will unlock naturally without you doing anything other than progressing the story. However, the 10th and final Rune—Rune of Dukur – Dragon—can only be found in a hidden location at Penury Desert.
To acquire the Rune of Dukur – Dragon, first go to an objective at Penury Desert where the Adorer called Raad is present.
Proceed through the map until you reach the room where Raad spawns. Before or after defeating him, look for a hidden path behind some cacti to the left of the area’s entrance.
Collect the rune to complete your rune collection and unlock the Rune Expert trophy.
You will now be able to earn the Legendary Master Tamer trophy!


Legendary Master Tamer
Capture all legendary creatures
There are five Legendary Creatures that you can catch in Adore, each tied to one of the Runes of Dukur. Once you have acquired and equipped a Rune of Dukur, such as “Rune of Dukur – Mystic,” you will be able to capture and summon the Legendary Creature matching that type.
- Rune of Dukur – Mystic is used to capture and summon Louxar
- Rune of Dukur – Arcane is used to capture and summon Azuno
- Rune of Dukur – Nature is used to capture and summon Krongur
- Rune of Dukur – Beast is used to capture and summon Zhoraz
- Rune of Dukur – Dragon is used to capture and summon Shaz
You will get 4 of those runes naturally, but the Rune of Dukur – Dragon can only be found in a hidden location. See Rune Expert.
With the correct rune equipped, catching a Legendary Creature is as simple as holding while you have a Particle. Damaging the creature to weaken it will make it easier to capture.


Novice Tamer
Capture 10 unique creatures
To unlock the “Novice Tamer” trophy, you will need to catch a total of 10 unique creatures. You can view the Bestiary tab in your Adorer’s Panel to see how many unique creatures you’ve caught so far.
The Master Tamer trophy will require you to catch all 39 creatures at least once.


Adept Tamer
Capture 20 unique creatures
To unlock the “Adept Tamer” trophy, you will need to catch a total of 20 unique creatures. You can view the Bestiary tab in your Adorer’s Panel to see how many unique creatures you’ve caught so far.
The Master Tamer trophy will require you to catch all 39 creatures at least once.


Expert Tamer
Capture 30 unique creatures
To unlock the “Expert Tamer” trophy, you will need to catch a total of 30 unique creatures. You can view the Bestiary tab in your Adorer’s Panel to see how many unique creatures you’ve caught so far.
The Master Tamer trophy will require you to catch all 39 creatures at least once.


Diversity
Capture one of each creature type
There are 5 types of creature in Adore; Arcane, Beast, Mystic, Nature, and Dragon. To unlock the Diversity trophy, you would need to catch at least one creature of each type.
This trophy is actually not possible until you’ve at least completed the story, because no catchable Dragon Creatures will appear until the post-game.
That said, you cannot unlock Master Tamer without unlocking this one automatically along the way.

After you have finished the story for the first time, you will have access to “Hunts.” To start a Hunt, speak to Maena at the north end of the village.
With Hunts, you can choose a specific creature you’d like to look for (even Blessed and Super Blessed ones) and then track that creature down. This makes filling your Bestiary much easier, and helps a lot with the Master of Blessed Creatures and Master of Super Blessed Creatures trophies.


Super Blessed
Capture a super blessed creature
A Super Blessed Creature is just like a Blessed Creature, except it has another segment, meaning it takes another extra particle to capture one.
They can be really difficult to catch because of their resilience, strength, and the other creatures around you. However, once you finally capture one (or receive one from a chest) the Super Blessed trophy will unlock!
Note that you will need to catch a Super Blessed version of each creature to unlock the Master of Super Blessed Creatures trophy.


Master of Blessed Creatures
Capture all blessed creatures
The Master of Blessed Creatures trophy is very similar to the Master Tamer trophy, except you will need to capture a Blessed version of each creature.
You can use the “Hunts” feature at Maena to specifically target Blessed versions of creatures you still need and your Bestiary will keep a count of which creatures you’ve caught in their Blessed state.
Refer to the table at Master Tamer for general creature locations.

Master of Super Blessed Creatures
Capture all super blessed creatures
The Master of Super Blessed Creatures trophy is very similar to the Master Tamer trophy, except you will need to capture a Super Blessed version of each creature.
You can use the “Hunts” feature at Maena to specifically target Super Blessed versions of creatures you still need, provided you’ve caught a Blessed version of it before. Additionally, your Bestiary will keep a count of which creatures you’ve caught in their Super Blessed state.
Refer to the table at Master Tamer for general creature locations.

Why?
Release a super blessed creature
Very simply, once you have acquired at least one Super Blessed Creature, you should release one to receive the “Why?” trophy.
You may be reluctant to release your strongest Creatures at first, but since you’ll eventually need to capture a Super Blessed version of every creature for Master of Super Blessed Creatures, I’m sure you’ll have at least one to spare by the time you’re done.
Alternatively, you could release the first one you get and then just close the game. When you load it back up, you’ll be brought back to the moment you entered the Refuge with the creature still in your possession.


Secret Creature
Capture the secret creature
The “Secret Creature” really is quite secret, and you likely wouldn’t think to try and catch it at all. You definitely won’t even see it until you’ve at least finished the game.
To begin with, you will need to find and catch a Dragon-Type creature called “Melkran.” Melkran has a Special Ability which transforms all nearby enemies into sheep. These sheep are actually a unique creature called “Sheen” and they can only be captured by using this ability on a creature before catching it.
Naturally, you will want a Melkran in your party, then—once its special is charged—summon it to turn all nearby enemies into Sheen. Capture just one Sheen to unlock the Secret Creature Trophy.

Phase Four | Cleanup
Your final stop on the road to the Adore Platinum Trophy. A good majority of the trophies in this final cleanup phase of our Adore Trophy Guide will have already unlocked naturally.
Browse the selection below to see which ones you still need, then get to work crossing off any you have left over!
Trophy Cleanup

Jars Hatred
Destroy 50 jars
One very common object you’ll see in the environment is the humble jar. This large clay pots can be smashed, sometimes revealing resources hidden within.
To smash a pot, either attack it via one of your Monsters, or simply roll into it with . After smashing a cumulative total of 50 jars, the Jars Hatred trophy will unlock.


Getting Started
Have a full party
The Getting Started trophy unlocks once you have a Monster in every slot of your party (one for each face button on your controller). Naturally, you would simply need to capture four Monsters without taking any out of your party and this trophy’s bound to unlock without you even thinking about it.


What's Inside?
Open a chest
Chests can be found in all levels pretty commonly. However, less common are the keys required to open them. Often keys are listed as an Objective Reward on the Level Selection map, which is the easiest way to track them down if you’re after one.
Once you have a key, press on any locked chest to instantly receive the “What’s inside?” trophy.


Letting go
Release a creature
Releasing creatures can be useful for freeing up space at the Shrine of The Adorers, where you have a limited number of slots within which to store captured creatures.
To release a creature, simply select it at the Shrine of the Adorers in the village and then select “Release.”
You will be asked to confirm, after which the creature will be gone for good and the “Letting go” trophy will unlock.


Starving
Give your creature some food
There are a few benefits to feeding creatures, such as health recovery and temporary buffs. To feed a creature, open the Adorer’s Panel. Switch to the Consumables Tab via , where you will see all meals you have cooked and ingredients you have gathered.
Select any Consumable with and then select one of your creatures with
. They will be fed the consumable and the “Starving” trophy will unlock!


Purifier
Heal a cursed creature using a holy food
Some of the food items you’ll find while out on expeditions and missions will have the word “Holy” in the name. This indicates that the consumable has the “Divine Protection” trait.
You can feed this to a creature whose health has been depleted (cursed) to allow them to recover health again. Doing this for the very first time will unavoidably unlock the Purifier trophy.


Novice Explorer
Find 4 artifacts
While exploring in Adore, you will often come across “Unidentified Items” that you can pick up. These are actually Artefacts, you just can’t use them until you bring them to the merchant at the east of the village. Even once you’ve done that, though, he’ll make you buy the item from him to use it.
Fortunately, however, this and all other Artefact trophies don’t require you to purchase the Artefacts, or even pick up the Unidentified Items. The counter will go up each time that an Unidentified Item drops while you play, whether you collect it or not.
After finding 4 Unidentified Items, the Novice Explorer trophy will unlock.


Adept Explorer
Find 8 artifacts
After unlocking Novice Explorer, find 4 more Unidentified Items to unlock Adept Explorer.


Expert Explorer
Find 12 artifacts
After unlocking Adept Explorer, find 4 more Unidentified Items to unlock Expert Explorer.


Master Explorer
Find 20 artifacts
After unlocking Expert Explorer, find 8 more Unidentified Items to unlock Master Explorer.


Novice Artisan
Upgrade an artifact
Once you have collected at least one “Unidentified Item,” brought it to the Artifact Merchant, and bought it from him, you will be able to upgrade it.
To upgrade Artifacts, speak to the Artifact Merchant on the east side of town and select “Upgrade my Artifacts.” You will then be shown your current artifacts as well as the resources and gold required to upgrade it.
Upgrade Resources can be easily found within missions and expeditions.


Master Artisan
Fully upgrade an artifact
To unlock the “Master Artisan” trophy, you will specifically need an Artifact which has three upgrade slots. Upgrade slots are indicated underneath an Artifact’s icon as small star icons which turn green when they are purchased.
The number of upgrade slots available is actually determined by the Artifact slot you put it into. The top two slots have 1 star, the middle two have 2 stars, and the bottom two have 3 stars. Only the top three slots are available at first, so to access a three-star slot, you will need to buy at least 2 more Artifact Slots.
You can purchase them via the blue chest in the Village. Interact with it to access and manage your artifacts. While there, you can press to purchase a new slot using green Fragment resources.
Once you have a 3-star slot with an Artifact in it, you will need to gather resources and gold to then upgrade the Artifact at the Artifact Merchant three times.
After the third upgrade, the artifact should have three green stars under its icon, indicating full upgrade status.


Expeditioner
Complete an expedition
While you’re out exploring, one of the items you can receive is an “Expedition Scroll.” When you collect one of these, it adds a new Expedition to the Expeditions tab of the level selection map.
Expeditions are special mission chains that contain a lot of loot for you to collect. They’re a great way to quickly boost resources and team stats between main missions.
Completing one for the first time (by reaching and accessing the exit portal back to the Village) will unlock the Expeditioner trophy!


Chef
Cook with three different ingredients
At the North end of the Village, there’s an outdoor kitchen with a cook. You can speak to the cook to buy one dish per day as well as being able to ask her to make you a dish using ingredients you’ve gathered.
You can add up to three ingredients to a recipe before cooking it. To unlock the “Chef” trophy, you will simply need to cook a dish that has an ingredient in all three recipe slots.


Practice Makes Perfect
Deal damage on dummies

Meecra's Secret Power
Have four meecras in your party and beat a map
Before you can unlock the Meecra’s Secret Power trophy, you must catch four Meecras. Meecras are sharp-clawed rabbit-like creatures that are very common in Gaterdrik Forest.
Once you have four Meecras, you will need to place a Meecra in all four slots of your party, one for each face button.
With your team of Meecras ready, head out on any mission or expedition and if you successfully reach the end of whichever level you launch and return safely back to the Village, you will unlock this trophy at the stat screen.


Total Strength
Level up a creature to level 5
Each time one of your creatures defeats another creature, they will gain a small amount of exp. This exp will cause the circular gauge around their level indicator to fill slightly. Once this gauge is filled 100%, they will level up to the next level.
The maximum number of times a creature can level up is 4; reaching a cap of Level 5. To unlock the Total Strength trophy, you simply need to raise a creature’s level to 5, which is very likely to occur naturally!


Ancient Knowledge
Unlock all rune slots
There are three rune slots available in Adore, with one already being available by default. You can view your rune slots and acquire more by visiting the stone pedestal-like shrine at the north side of the Refuge.
There, you will be able to assign runes to your rune slots and purchase Rune Points using green Fragments. Rune Points can be assigned to your runes to increase their efficacy, but Rune Points aren’t cheap. The cost goes up with each one that you purchase, with your fifth one costing a whole seven Fragments!
To unlock the other two rune slots (and receive the Ancient Knowledge trophy), you will need to purchase at least five Rune Points.
The best way to farm Fragments is by completing expeditions, with the longer ones offering a considerable number of Fragments as a reward. If you don’t have any expeditions available, complete missions which offer an expedition scroll as a reward.


Big Backyard
Unlock all shrine slots
The “Big Backyard” trophy is one of the longest grinds in the game given the sheer number of fragments you will need to retrieve.
Fortunately, fragments are quite common in Expeditions, which usually offer up around 4 fragments in their loot pool. You’ll essentially just need to keep collecting fragments and then bringing them back to the Refuge to spend them on new slots at the Shrine of the Adorers.
At the bottom of your creature list, you will see an “Unlock Slot” option. This option starts at 3 fragments per slot but later increases to 5 fragments and then increases again to 7 fragments per slot for the final 5 slots.
In total, you can acquire 39 slots, enough to store one of each species of creature. Upon acquiring your 39th slot, the Big Backyard trophy will unlock!
