Enjoy the story
Welcome at the Falcon Age Trophy Guide, VR is optional for this game. You will be given 2 options when you start up the game, Story Mode (Combat) or Imprint Mode (Optional Combat). The only difference seems to be related to combat, so I chose Story mode thinking it would help towards the trophies.
Once the story is complete you will be able to clean up any missing trophies as you will have access to the full map. Most of the trophies come naturally throughout the story and playing the mini games.
Tips
I would recommend getting the trophy ‘Return to Nest‘ asap, most if not all of the ‘kill’ trophies will be earned whilst at the Refinery’s you will come across in the story. I got it during the 3rd refinery, but don’t panic if you don’t by the time you complete the story, as you can re-play the last section, thanks to an update by the devs.
Don’t waste money buying items from Asoka other than any story related ones. The items needed for trophies are, the Monocle, the Bowtie and The Dragon Helmet. For my last trophy I had to grind enough money for the Dragon Helmet by farming products, killing animals and machines and then selling them and any scrap parts to Asoka. When you come across a spider spawning turret, as long as it’s safe to do so, don’t destroy it straight away and just let it spawn the spider’s so you can farm the kills, giving you money, although I advise getting the ‘Return to Nest’ trophy out the way first like I mentioned above.
Recipes and Special items – Most recipes are found in metal boxes that you have to open with your Electric whip, they can be found in huts or refinery’s or slightly buried in the ground. Special Items are mostly given to you by speaking to humans and/or after completing tasks for them. I collected every recipe and every special item and gave each special item to my bird but they are not needed for any trophy, just a fun animation. It is possible to cook without collecting the recipe, and any recipe card needed for a trophy will be listed under the trophy description. Collecting the recipes can be helpful though as certain ones give health or improve attacks. Cooking spicy food is needed for a trophy and cooking with certain meats. The animals you need to kill to obtain the meat from are located in certain areas of the map, please see the trophy descriptions for more information and the map below.

Eliya
Reclaim Refinery Eliya.
Story related.
The first real mission given to you by your Auntie. Use your bird to take out the drones and hit them with your baton when they are grounded. Use your baton to disable the turrets so they don’t shoot darts into your bird. If your bird gets hit, quickly call it back to you and press square to pull out the darts before it dies. Then hold square as being affectionate will make it regain some health.
On the final door at the top of the structure there will be a sentry droid with a weapon that will stun you. Use your baton whip on the sentry droid and then order your falcon to attack it. This will free you and you can hit it with your baton whilst its being hung upside down by your bird. Use your whip on the switch in the room the sentry droid was in for this trophy.

Story related.
As per usual clear the area of enemies but keep an eye on your bird’s energy. Call your bird back to you, pull out the darts and show it some affection to increase its health.
Uva
Reclaim Refinery Uva.
Story related.
(This is where I got the ‘Return to Nest’ Trophy).
There will be a bridge in front of you that you are unable to cross and one to the right. Go over the bridge to the right, as that area has the switch for the bridge that is in front of you. As per usual clear the area of enemies but keep an eye on your bird’s energy. Call your bird back to you, pull out the darts and show it some affection to increase it’s health.
Port Loop

SPOILER ALERT

After waking up in the prison,following some tutorial type objectives and learning the mechanics of the game, you will be given the objective to escape the prison. Leave the prison and use the baton you acquired from the droid to lower the bridges, press R2 to insert the baton into the units at the end of the bridge. Use your bird to lower the smaller wooden bridges by aiming your cursor at the rope on the top of the bridge and pressing L2. Your bird will swoop attack the rope, creating the bridge for you. After you have walked over 4 bridges and reached ground level you will be on sand. Just walk forwards until you get a cutscene and the trophy will pop.

Hot Wings
Feed Spicy Food while wearing the Dragon Helmet
The Dragon Helmet can be bought from Asoka for 3000 or 2700 if you have equipped your bird with the Beret found in your Auntie’s tent, as this gives 10% discount. To the left of Asoka is a food processor for you to cook. If you need more ingredients for the spicy recipe then there is some farm land up the hill behind Asoka near the Juggler. You can sell food,meat and scrap parts to Asoka. Buy the Dragon Helmet, equip it, cook the spicy food and feed it to your bird.
Spicy Red Bun Recipe = 3 x Red Peppers
Recipe card was found in a box in a hut opposite where you first meet your Auntie. Hard to miss.
Penguin
Equip Falcon in Formal Wear.
Three items are needed for this trophy. Two items can be bought from Asoka but the third is rewarded to you for completing the lightning golf course at Refinery Eliya with 20 shots or less, and speaking to the instructor afterwards, this is also for the Birdie? trophy.
If your bird is wearing the Beret found in your Auntie’s tent then you can get 10% off of Asoka’s Products, which are:
Monocle 300 or 270
Bow Tie 750 or 675
Bowler Hat – Speak to the Lightning Golf Instructor after getting the Birdie? Trophy.
Equip your bird with all 3 at the same time for this trophy.
Nighthawk
Open a Buried Lockbox.
During the story you will be given Digging Claws from your Auntie. To the left of your Auntie’s place is a opening and a slope going downwards, off to the left running adjacent to the slope is where you can find a half buried Lockbox. See pic of the map. Equip the claws to your bird and signal the bird to the box with L2.
Birdfeeder

Red Peppers – Can be found growing on the side of rocks. Get with using bird or whip. First found opposite to Auntie’s place.

Garden Bird
Farm for the first time.
Once you have taken over the Eilya refinery you will see some humans standing around the area and a farming plot will have appeared. Talk to the one standing to the right of the pics below, (which is near the entrance, hard to miss) they will talk to you about farming. Just place one of your food items from your inventory into one of the four plots for the trophy. You can farm as many items as you desire, they are not only used for cooking, but you can also sell them to Asoka, who you will meet later on in the game, but always keep one of each product so you can use it to grow some more. There is also a farm plot up the hill behind where Asoka sits. Growing and selling the products helps you be able to buy items from Asoka’s shop. I used this farming method for my last trophy, to make enough money to buy the dragon helmet.
Hot Drop
Complete Bomb Minigame.

Return to the Nest
Blow up Spider Spawner with a Spider Bomb.
You will come across some spider turrets throughout the game, mainly at the refinery’s.
You have to order your falcon to pick up a spider, point your cursor at the spider and then press L2, and then once your falcon is attacking the spider, press L2 again whilst pointing your cursor on the spider’s spawn turret. Your falcon will pick up the spider and drop it on the turret, destroying it, giving you the trophy.

Found at the 2nd and 3rd refinery’s. Send your bird to attack the droid, whilst it’s preoccupied with your bird you are free to attack it with your baton.
Disassemble
Defeat a Sentry.
On the first real mission given to you by your Auntie, to save the refinery, there will be a sentry droid walking around. Easiest way for the trophy is to just run up to it and hit it a few times with your baton by pressing R2. Some of them can stun you, to get out of this, hit them with your whip which will make the droid crouch, then order your bird to attack the droid, it will pick it up from its leg so it’s hanging upside down, now hit it with your baton.
Grounded
Defeat a Drone.
Near the beginning of the game, you will receive an objective to escape the prison. After escaping the prison and lowering the bridge there will be a Drone hovering at the other end of the bridge. Point your cursor on the drone and press L2 to order your Bird to attack the drone, this will make it fall to the ground for a short time. Go over to it and hit it with your baton using R2. Once it’s destroyed the trophy will pop.
Home Cooked
Feed your Falcon a crafted snack.
After first meeting your Auntie you will have an objective to hunt for food to feed your bird. Once you have found some food, by ordering your bird to collect the fruit growing from the rocks, and by attacking any animals (Rabbits) near by, you will return to your Auntie and she will tell you to place the food in the food processor. Next to the processor there will be two recipes. If you look at the recipe on the left it tells you to put in the processor 1x Rabbit meat and 2x Red Peppers. Place these ingredients into a food processor by selecting the items from your inventory, if done correctly the lid will close and it will cook the food, the lid will then open revealing some new food, collect it and feed to your bird by pressing L1, to have the bird land on your left wrist, and by pressing square to give the food to the bird. This will be awarded the same time as the Hopped up trophy.

Press L1 to make your bird leave your hand and fly above you. Open you inventory and select and item from it. You will be holding this in your right hand. Hold down square which will then raise your hand. Press L1 to call your bird and it will swoop and take the item from your hand.
