The Forgotten City Trophy Guide

 

Below are the trophies in The Forgotten City!

 

Platinum Trophy

Earn all trophies

 

Looper

Loop through time once

Break The Golden Rule once then use the portal at the Shrine of Proserpina to reset the loop.

 

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

Learn the true identity of the stranger by the river

Complete The Common Thread main goal! For a guide on this main goal, click here.

 

Herculean

Confront the creator of The Golden Rule

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.

 

Survivor

Survive the Palace

Complete The Gilding lead to successfully exit the palace. Click here for a guide on this lead!

 

Psycho

Intimidate the creator of The Golden Rule

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.

 

Silver Tongue

Talk your way through every possible confrontation

The 3 confrontations are with Naevia, Khabash and the God of the Underworld. For which dialog options to select, click here!

 

Underworld Explorer

Discovering Underworld icons Sisyphus, Tantalus, Ixion and the Belide

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.

 

High Diver

Enter Malleolus’s villa with a daring leap

In front of the Great Temple, you’ll come across Octavia and Ulpius. Follow Ulpius over the cliff after he jumps off to land in the water in Malleolus’ villa.
