Trophy & Achievement Guide — What's Confirmed and What's Not

The Relic: First Guardian launched on PS5 and Steam on July 31, 2026, so both platforms have trophy/achievement support. This guide is an honest look at what is confirmed about the trophy setup at launch and what is not — because several circulating "full trophy lists" are fabricated.

The Honest Status at Launch

Question	Status
Does the PS5 version have trophies?	Yes — it is a native PS5 release
Does the Steam version have achievements?	Yes — Steam releases have achievement support; the exact set is being verified
Is the full trophy list documented?	No — exact trophy names, counts, and rarities are unconfirmed at launch
Is there a Platinum trophy?	Very likely (standard for PS5 titles) but not verified
Are there missable trophies?	Unknown — cannot be assessed until the real list is documented

Important warning: several websites publish "The Relic: First Guardian — full trophy list" pages with invented trophy names (e.g., story trophies named after bosses like "The Forgotten King," co-op trophies, and collection trophies). The game has no co-op, and almost no boss names are confirmed — a trophy list containing such names is fabricated. The game launched only days ago; a verified list takes time.

What the Real Completion Goals Look Like

While the trophy list itself is unverified, the game's confirmed systems tell us what a 100% run would plausibly involve. Use these as likely categories, not confirmed trophy requirements:

Bosses (Platinum-style commitment)

The roster is 70-80 Brutals, most optional. Any "defeat all bosses" achievement would be the largest grind in the game.
See the All Bosses List for what is confirmed about the roster.

Collections

Over 70 unique relic fragments to collect.
Every weapon and armor piece is unique — a "collect all equipment" goal would demand thorough exploration.
Shards of Esser (potion capacity) and Shards of Awakening (relic slots) are spread through the world.

Combat Feats

Parry chains — reviews report chains of up to 15 parries against some bosses; a parry-count achievement is plausible.
Boss kills — with 70-80 Brutals, kill-count achievements are likely.

Story

Endings — the number of endings is unconfirmed. If the game has multiple endings (pre-launch coverage hinted at 2-3), an "all endings" trophy is plausible. See the Endings guide.

What to Check Before Trusting a Trophy Guide

Does it mention co-op trophies? — If yes, it is fabricated: the game is single-player only.
Does it name specific bosses? — Almost no boss names are confirmed; named lists are invented.
Does it reference "levels" or "NG+"? — The game has no levels, and NG+ is unconfirmed.
Does it cite exact trophy counts? — Counts are unverified; any "40 trophies, 1 Platinum, 3 Gold, 12 Silver, 24 Bronze" style breakdown is invented.

How to Track Your Own Completion

Until verified lists exist, track the confirmed systems yourself:

Brutal kills — the game encourages killing all bosses; note which regions you cleared.
Relic fragments — count your collection against the 70+ confirmed fragments.
Shards of Esser — potion capacity is a simple, trackable progression metric.
Events (side quests) — complete every event you find; they gate unique rewards.
Skill trees — 12 trees (2 per weapon family) fully bought is a concrete completion goal.

Common Questions

Q: Does The Relic: First Guardian have a Platinum trophy?

A: Almost certainly (native PS5 releases include one), but the exact list is unverified at launch.

Q: Are there Steam achievements?

A: Yes — the Steam version supports achievements. The exact set is unverified.

Q: How long does 100% take?

A: Unknown — no verified playtime data exists. Reviews describe a large world and 70-80 bosses, so a completionist run is likely long. See the Game Length guide.

Q: Are any trophies missable?

A: Unknown. The game has a few "returns after story events" areas per official exploration descriptions, but no verified missable list exists.

Q: Is there a "no damage" or "no death" trophy?

A: Unverified. Treat any such claim as speculation until the real list is published.

Q: Will this guide be updated?

A: Yes — as soon as a verified trophy list is documented post-launch, this page will publish the real requirements.
