Trophy Thoughts?

[Skurkitty]

So from what I'm understanding this will all be doable in a single playthrough? The Mass Effect trilogy is easily my favorite series of my lifetime and I would love to replay them all on PS4/PS5 (as I did them originally on Xbox). But I don't think I could will myself to do another 2-3 playthroughs per game.

Anyone know if you can just start on Insanity, or if you have to unlock it?

It's available from the start. No need to unlock it this time around.

I get the feeling that those trophies..

1. Soldier Ally
2. Sentinel Ally
3. Krogan Ally
4. Turian Ally
5. Quarian Ally
6. Asari Ally

.. which have the description "ME1: Complete 5 missions with the XYZ ABC squad member" could be a bit buged with the actual unlock:
Had to complete (= Switched to grey text) 3 main missions and 5 assignments with Kaidan to earn the "Sentinel Ally" trophy.
==> So: Either You need to actually finish five assignments (sidequests) because missions do not count OR you need more then 5 missions/assignments combined.

Any idea from looking at the list what's missable ?

Sorry. I don't often look at the forums here.

 

If you're not careful you can easily miss a few codex entries. So the Archivist trophy is missable.

 

This is the only one that comes to mind though so fingers crossed

 

Technically it's possible to romance a couple characters and not get that relevant trophy too.

 

Take care

I'm worried about these and the Archivist trophy now.

No worries! 

Archivist unlocked during the first story segment on the Citadel while I was doing the first big batch of Citadel side quests. 

 

And I got 4 of 6 squadmate trophies (Did not recruit Liara until now, still need to unlock the trophy for Garrus) while doing the first big batch of Citadel assignments and doing less then 5 assignments on planets.

General advices:

1. Check the official ME Wiki page Category:Guides | Mass Effect Wiki | Fandom for a lot of good guides and infos.
2. Also take a look at the ME Wiki page for assignments (sidequests) for all three games in the trilogy: Assignments | Mass Effect Wiki | Fandom
3. If you are in need for maps of the uncharted worlds (planets) in each system, take a look here: Milky Way | Mass Effect Wiki | Fandom

I wouldn't worry about the Ally trophies. I literally got 2 of them just doing "Go here, talk to this NPC" in the Citadel.

Thank you. I see how easy the Ally trophies were when I popped Kaiden and Ashley's trophies already.

Not sure if this is already mentioned but you can get the medal of exploration trophies using the same 'uncharted' planet.

Might been mentioned somewhere but just throwing it out there: You can unlock some (not all) of the "Use x abilities 25 times", by spamming them on the Mako. Shouldn't really have to. But its possible to do.

Yes, this is new information (At least for me). But since there are enough planets to land on, which also are the home of side quests, there should be no need to do this.

Already known. You can find this and more information here.

The "Infinite Paragon & Renegade Glitch" with the NPC Lorik Qui'in on Noveria is also still working in LE: ME1.
