7/7 | SPOILERS | Playing ORIGINAL Mass Effect 2 instead? Use this separate appendix. Do not mix the lists. Original PS3 has 59 trophies: 55 in the base list, plus Revenge! and three Arrival trophies. Original Xbox 360 has 62 achievements: 50 base plus 12 DLC, and no platinum. Legendary Edition has 45 ME2 trophies on PlayStation. The shared ME2 requirements above still cover the matching trophies, but Galactic Explorer was called Explorer. The original N7 Elite requires the original base list, including the bundled Kasumi/Overlord/Shadow Broker trophies; the four trophies in PS3's separate DLC groups are not needed for its platinum. These 11 original base-list trophies are absent from LE's ME2 list: • Highly Trained: watch all three advanced training videos at your private terminal. • Insanity: complete the entire game on Insanity without lowering it. Set it at the start and check immediately after the prologue. • Long Service Medal: finish ME2 with an imported ME1 character, or finish ME2 twice. This is different from LE's trilogy-wide medal. Genesis has also been reported to qualify; importing a completed ME1 career avoids relying on that behavior. • Paramour: finish a full romance with one of the six ME2 partners listed in part 6. • Brawler: punch an enemy, then shoot it dead while it's still staggered; do this to 20 enemies. A melee kill by itself doesn't count. • Master at Arms: get a kill with five different heavy weapons. The grenade launcher and Collector Particle Beam are mission pickups; research the missile launcher, Avalanche and Cain after obtaining the required heavy-ammo upgrades. • Prospector: use a probe on a planet's mineral deposit and collect resources. • Power Gamer: reach level 30 on one character. Do side missions and DLC; carry the same character into NG+ if needed. • Technician: obtain 10 technology upgrades through research and shops. • Fashionista: change an armor setting at an armor locker. • Data Hound: collect all six Aite data packets with the Hammerhead BEFORE entering Atlas Station during Overlord. Search the turret platforms, the platform behind the waterfall, the area beneath the stone bridge and the platform near Vulcan Station. Keep a save before Atlas. Original Arrival DLC adds three: • Covert Action: reach and rescue Amanda Kenson without alerting the batarian guards. Use the alternate routes; don't open fire or walk into their sight. Save before infiltrating. • Last Stand: survive all five Object Rho waves. Going down lets the story continue but forfeits this trophy. Save first, use cover and focus on the dangerous flanking enemies. • The Ultimate Sacrifice: finish Arrival. Xbox 360's original Shadow Broker DLC also has FOUR achievements that aren't PS3 trophies or LE achievements: • Most Dangerous Game: defeat Tela Vasir. • The Hard Way: complete the entire Shadow Broker pack on Hardcore or Insanity. Set that difficulty before starting it and keep it there. • Catching Up: after the DLC, invite Liara to the Normandy and finish the conversation. • Detail Orientated: after the DLC, use every information terminal in the Broker's base. These older releases have different DLC packaging and availability. Check what is installed before planning an original-version 100% run.
