Looper

The Many Shall Suffer
Reach Ending 1 of 4
Kill Sentius.
The One That Got Away
Reach Ending 2 of 4
Get the key from Duli then head to the cave behind the Great Temple and use the key to unlock the door. Free the prisoner behind the door and buy her some time by distracting her captor. This will allow her to sneak up behind her captor and finish them off.
The Ones That Got Away
Reach Ending 3 of 4
Locate Sentilla in the upper cistern and tell her that you will not free her because the others will die. You will then need to break The Golden Rule to reset the loop during which you can tell Galerius to round up the citizens and meet you in the cistern. Afterwards, head back to Sentilla and free her. Follow the objectives to reach the end.
The Cannon Ending
Reach Ending 4 of 4
To get the final and canon ending, you’ll need to locate the Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Mystery plaques then use them to enter the Great Temple. From there head to the end of the temple and shoot the girl in the glass case to the right of the throne. Take her crown then reset the loop and return to the temple. Throw it at feet of the ruler then complete the dialog options and follow the rest of the objectives.
Grave Robber
Steal 2000 coins after the Golden Rule is broken
This is easy enough to do! Just kill someone to break The Golden Rule then steal 2,000 coins. Malleolus has a chest in his villa that has 2000 coins in it. It’s in the locked room on the second floor.
Dead Shot
Free the captive and shoot her captor in the face
In order to get this trophy, you’ll need to pick the soldier class at the beginning of the game. This will give you a pistol with 10 bullets. You’ll need to free the captive and then shoot the captor in the face using the gun. The quickest way to get to the captive is to run to the bathhouse at the start of a loop and deal with the assassin. If you kill the assassin with your gun, that will break The Golden Rule. Loot the bow and arrows off his corpse then return to the Shrine of Proserpina to reset the loop. You’ll then want to head to the market and speak with Desius. Agree to his little scheme to start The Gilding lead. Complete it to receive the golden bow, which you will then use in the cistern to the left of Malleolus’ Villa. Once in the cistern, follow the path forward taking the first left to come to a circular room with vines hanging down in the middle. Use the golden bow to shoot the vines turning them to gold. Climb up the vines to reach the upper level of the cistern then free the captive. When confronted by her captor, you’ll get the option to shoot him with your gun. Choose that option then follow the dialog events to receive the trophy.
Super Looper
Loop through time ten times
Break The Golden Rule then use the portal at the Shrine of Proserpina to reset the loop 10 times.
Bloodless Shadow

Herculean

Complete A Herculean Task main goal.
Archaeologist
Discover what lies beneath the city
Facing the entrance to the bathhouse, enter the first building on the right with columns to find a statue of a goddess inside. Head behind the goddess on the right side to find a small wooden door that you’ll need to crouch to walk through. Follow the path through the cave to reach an open cavern where the trophy will trigger.
Sleuth
Find all three missing persons
For the Sleuth trophy, we’re not 100 percent sure on how we got this, but we’re pretty sure it’s tied to finding The Hermit Philosopher, Khabash and Sentilla in one loop. We recommend completing The Common Thread main goal, which will unlock the leads to collect the 4 plaques. Specifically focus on the Egyptian plaque, which will lead you to both The Hermit Philosopher and Khabash. When you emerge from the Undercity, make your way to the upper cistern by using the golden bow through the lower cistern (to the left of Malleolus’ Villa) or Duli’s key if you obtained it from A Virtuous Man lead. Once there, speak with the captive. After learning their name, hopefully the trophy will trigger.
Italian Plumber
Enter the upper cistern in an unconventional way
Head through the doorway to the left of the stairs leading up to Malleolus’s Villa (when facing the villa). Take the first available left to find a circular tunnel leading up. There will be water at the bottom of this tunnel. Shoot the vines with the golden bow and climb up to reach the upper cistern containing the prisoner. Please note that you must do this before you get the key to here.

Psycho

Complete A Herculean Task main goal.
Law Abiding Citizen
Finish the game without looping through time once
To get this trophy, start a new game and choose the solider. When you reach Sentius in his villa, shoot him with the gun the solider starts with to create a time paradox leading to the first ending. This will cause the trophy to pop.
Minimalist
Reach the best ending with the smallest number of loops
To get this trophy, you’ll need to get the canon ending in 9 loops or less.
Striker
Topple 10 peeled statues by kicking others into them
The peeled statues are the statue enemies that have green splotches on them. You’ll need to turn one to gold using the golden bow then kick it into the other peeled statues (that still move) to get this trophy. The can be done easily during The Gilding lead which you can find here on this lead guide.

Underworld Explorer

One golden statue can be found near Galerius’ farm in the water reaching for fruit on a tree. Another statue can be found pushing a large rock up the path near the Great Temple. Facing the amphitheater, follow the path right through an archway and take the first left up a set of stairs to find the third statue tied to a wheel. With the entrance of the palace behind you, head down a flight of stairs and keep heading straight to find a statue near a fountain. You just have to look at these 4 statues to trigger the trophy!
Kleptomaniac
Trigger The Golden Rule by stealing 5 items
The best way to do this is to steal from the chests so you are getting denarii while resetting the loops.
