ANNO: Mutationem Trophy Guide

ANNO: Mutationem Trophy Guide and Road Map for PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5

Welcome to our ANNO: Mutationem Trophy Guide. ANNO: Mutationem is an indie game developed by ThinkingStars and published by Lightning Games as part of the Sony-created China Project.

ANNO: Mutationem perfectly blends 3D environments with 2D pixel art in a slick cyberpunk world filled with interesting characters. Players take control of Ann on her quest to track down her missing brother while stumbling into a deadly plot that threatens the city where she lives.

Phase One – Play Until Final Chapter & All Side Quests

During Phase One of our ANNO: Mutationem Trophy Guide you can just relax and experience the story while you periodically check the map for any new side quests that may appear.

There are 10 side quests split across Skopp city, Noctis city, and Freeway 42. All side quests will appear and can be completed before heading into the Consortium area near the end of the game.

Once you reach the final chapter—a prompt will let you know before reaching the Consortium—make sure you finish all side quests and make a back up save before moving on to Phase Two of this ANNO: Mutationem Trophy Guide.

Additionally, there are 25 Cyber Neko+ statues, and 25 Posters to find throughout ANNO: Mutationem. You can pick them up as you see them during this phase or you can leave them for Phase Two.

Phase Two – Collectables & Clean Up

In this phase of our Anno: Mutationem Trophy Guide, you will be running around picking up any Cyber Neko+ statue or Poster you may have missed in Phase One. There are only 25 of each to find and none of them are truly missable as they will only appear in the open world.

You should also make sure you have unlocked any miscellaneous trophies during this phase before moving on to the third and final phase.

Collectible Trophies

The “false” ending can be obtained while hunting down Cyber Neko+ Statues. There is a room in the Research Base called Encrypted Transit Area. Inside this room is a teleporter that will take you to a large cylindrical room called Special Project Control Area where a small cutscene will play and you will have to fight a woman. After defeating the woman This Can’t Be Right… will unlock.

Miscellaneous Trophies

At the very start of the game Ann is in her apartment. To the left of the exit is her bathroom where you can press to take a shower. Do this three times and So Fresh and So Clean Clean will unlock.

As you explore the world of ANNO: Mutationem you will spot various NPCs stood around with speech bubbles above their head. Walk up to them and interact with them to listen in on their conversations. You can unlock Tell Me Your Story before you leave Skopp City.

Stopping cars in ANNO: Mutationem is as simple as standing in the road. Cars will drive up and stop right in front of Ann before crashing into her. The best place to unlock I’m Walking Here! is right outside Ann’s apartment in Skopp City as there is a steady stream of traffic compared to the other locations.

Inside the bookstore that Ann has to go to at the very start of the story is a statue that you can pray at. It doesn’t cost anything to pray; just your time. Before leaving the bookstore pray at the statue 10 times to unlock SERENITY NOW.

Spending 1,000 credits over the course of the game should be an unmissable endeavor for most players, however, if you have yet to achieve Big Spender head to a shop and buy as much as you can to unlock it.

Inside The Sicilian Jar is an arcade machine where you can play the classic Pong. Once you reach a score of 11—before your opponent does—I Just Got Real Good will unlock. However, the opponent cheats which makes getting to 11 before it is incredibly hard. When the ball hits your paddle the opponent paddle updates its position so it can reach the ball. This means if the ball is heading to a far corner that the opponent paddle can’t possibly reach it in time it will just speed up and zip closer to it so it can.

Instead of trying to beat the opponent legitimately, use the image below to line up your paddle with the exact spot and then just leave it. The ball will hit the top of your paddle and bounce in a pattern that the opponent paddle will try and fail to reach it. If your paddle is a pixel out, back out of the arcade machine and go back in to nudge it in place until you hit the spot.

In ANNO: Mutationem you can purchase and craft weapons at shops in Skopp City, Noctis City, and Harbour Town. When you accumulate 10 of them Ann-at-Arms will unlock. This trophy is listed as The Warlord online, however, in-game it is listed as Ann-at-Arms.

Players will be introduced to the hacking mini-game very early into the story. There aren’t many opportunities for hacking in ANNO: Mutationem, though as you make progress through the story and side quests you will easily unlock You Are the One before the credits roll.

A short while into the story Ann will unlock the ability to transform by pressing + simultaneously. This will transform her into a deadlier version of herself and increase her damage output considerably. As you attack and defeat enemies the circle in the top left of the screen will full up and once it reaches 100% you can trigger a transformation. Kill 20 enemies will transformed and Ann ULTRA will unlock.

That’s Gotta Hurt will likely unlock naturally as you progress through the story and upgrade your weapons. You can also use Ann’s transformation to acquire this trophy as the damage output is increased and Ann will do more than 150 damage per attack.

As Ann defeats enemies she will receive two types of upgrade currency. The red upgrades increase Ann’s natural abilities such as health or defence and the blue upgrades unlock extra skills such as a flying knee attack. Unlocking 50% of all talents isn’t hard but will take a few hours to reach.

Supreme Bartender Ann is the hardest trophy in ANNO: Mutationem. You will be introduced to bartending as part of the story and can return later to play the mini-game as much as you want. To unlock Supreme Bartender Ann, you must complete the mini-game on Master difficulty but you must first complete two other difficulties before you unlock Master.

When you play the mini-game people will approach the bar and ask for a specific combination of drink—, , for example—and you must press the combination shown on-screen and confirm it by pressing . Then you will have to rapidly press and alternatively to shake the drink and slow the cursor down on the bar. The goal is to land the cursor on the bar in the green section for a “perfect” drink. Stopping the cursor in the yellow will result in an “okay” drink and in the red will result in a bad drink and will remove 20 points from your total score. As the difficulty increases the yellow and green sections will shrink and the red section will grow.

You have to get a score of 700 to “complete” the difficulty challenge. This doesn’t change as the difficulty level increases, however, the total amount of bad or okay drinks you can serve and still pass will go down. On Master difficulty it’s impossible to serve okay drinks as there is no yellow section on the bar; you can only serve perfect or bad drinks. To reach 700 score on Master, you must serve only perfect drinks—at least 7 of them.

As you play ANNO: Mutationem you will pick up a lot of items. Some of them will be vendor trash you can sell for money, others will be items you can take to a Weapon Shop and dismantle for parts to use in Weapon Crafting. After your first hour or two you will have enough to unlock I Think It’s Broke.

There are containers all over the place in ANNO: Mutationem and they will all have junk or items you can dismantle in them. If you’re lucky they will have health items or throwable weapons in them.

All through ANNO: Mutationem you will find documents strewn about on floors, desks, walls, and on computers. Reading them can often lead to insight into a particular place or person in the game and is advised if you want to get to know the world and it’s people a little better. Reading 30 documents will unlock The Things They Print Nowadays.

As you fill your pockets with the items you collect from the hundreds of containers littered throughout ANNO: Mutationem you will eventually have enough to combine some of them into useful items such as health kits. Combining items is as simple as holding during combat to quickly create the item you desire. You can tell that an items can be combine by the red box icon on the top right of the quick bar (bottom left).

Defeating 100 enemies is likely an unmissable trophy, however, if you have come this far and still don’t have this trophy then take a trip to the underground sections of the map where you can often run into bugs and critters.

In Noctis City there is a shop called Chip Ace where you can buy chips for your weapons. You can use three of the same chip to Super-Enhance them into a bigger chip which will have improved stat buffs. You will need additional crafting items when you Super-Enhance a chip but once you do Science, It Works! will unlock.

When you have a grenade equipped you can press to throw one. The best place to defeat 2 enemies with 1 grenade is in the sewers where multiple small worms will spawn and try to attack Ann. These worms have very little health and will die instantly when the grenade explodes. Alternatively, you can reduce two human enemy’s health down to below half and try to kite them together so you can throw a single grenade at them and kill them both.

Behind the Weapon Shop in Skopp City is a manhole cover you can inspect. When you do, a man will talk to you and ask for an ice cream. Simply talking to this man—Hapi—will unlock Don’t Judge a Manhole by Its Cover.

When you reach Harbour Town and manage to get inside the Boxing arena you can spectate a fight. Stand there for 30 seconds and Deadly Kombationem will unlock.

Ann can deflect projectiles by pressing before they reach her. The best place to farm Annakin Skyscroller is in the sewers under Freeway 42 as there are several enemy androids with single shot rifles. Kill all but one of them in an area and deflect his projectiles when he shoots his weapon at Ann.

Reaching a 20-hit combo is incredibly easy once you have obtained the dual swords weapon. There are several tanky bug enemies in the sewers which will take more than 20 hits to defeat which is a good place to farm The Ann Flores Combo Experience.

Phase Three – Finish Final Chapter

This last phase will be dedicated to cleaning up any trophy you haven’t yet earned. These trophies will likely be for completing the highest difficulty of bartending or beating the pong arcade game as these two trophies are the hardest in the game. The pong trophy itself is hard because the opponent paddle can jump up and down faster than you can move your paddle.

You maybe also be missing some cumulative trophies if you neglected to read documents whenever you found them or disassemble/combine items.

Teleport-Springs act as places to save, upgrade abilities and, well teleport to other Teleport-Springs. As long as you enter every single room while playing through the story you will find all the Teleport-Springs with the very last one being awarded to you as the credits roll.

After finishing the story you can load up the game again and you will see “Head back to the Consortium” on the main menu. Do this and I Feel Secure, Contained & Protected will unlock.
