The Persistence Trophy Guide

 Persistence Pays Dividends
Collect all trophies

You will need to collect all other trophies before the platinum will pop.

 Let’s Do This
Enter Research Deck after the tutorial.

For this trophy you will need to complete the tutorial. Upon spawning you’ll need to interact with the shutter, at which point a short tale will be told. After the story, make your way to the door on the left. A short explanation will inform you about the teleportation skill, that can be activated with X. Teleport behind the barricade and make your way trough the second door. Upon entering, you’ll find the Harvester to your right on the counter. Pick it up and harvest your body while laying on the ground. After harvesting it, you can pick up the key card by looking at it. Take the key card and move towards the teleporter that is back at the starting area. Interact with it and the tutorial will finish. An Image and video can be found below.

 Plot the Jump Vectors
Plot the jump vectors home on Research Deck.

For this trophy you’ll need to complete the first objective. Plot the jump vectors on the Research deck (First deck). Upon arrival, you’ll encounter a closed door. Make your way through the maintenance shaft towards the Power panel. The shaft is filled with Reaper enemies. Hit them once and they should run away. You can activate the power panel by looking at it. Now, make your way towards the IRIS panel by using the shafts again. 

When you arrive at the IRIS panel, interact with it. The NPC will tell you that you should activate the Terminal for it to work. Walk towards the left and you’ll encounter a maintenance shaft (don’t use the one you came from). Make your way towards the Terminal and clear any Reapers that you encounter, then interact with the Terminal by looking at it. You will be told to return to the IRIS panel. 

Interact with the IRIS panel when you arrive there in order to end the mission. Please note that 2 Berserkers will spawn at the end of the mission. 
It doesn’t matter if you die here, as the level is already over.

If you have trouble following the written story, please see the visual guide below.

Mutant Madness
Refuel the Stardrive

For this trophy, you’ll need to complete the second mission of the game.

You’ll need to refuel the Stardrive by shooting enemies into the Plasma gate by using your Valkyrie gun. The Valkyrie gun can be found in the first area (1,Yellow dot). Pick up the gun and make your way back towards the Terminal (2). Upon activating the Terminal, you’ll need to shoot the power box (3). The bridge will open and you can then move forwards. Move towards the left and interact with the Ignitor (4). Now shoot a few of the enemies into the plasma gate (5) with your gun. Once you’ve shot enough into the Plasma gate, the shield will deactivate, which will allow you to move towards the area that was previously blocked by a force field. You’ll now find yourself walking towards the Plasma gate (6). Please note that a lot of enemies will spawn, and they’ll keep spawning until you’ve shot enough of them into the plasma gate (6). After you activate the Plasma gate (6) you can take a little break. The last part will require you to interact with the Ignitor (7) and shoot the enemies that spawn. The trophy will pop after you fuel up the last Plasma gate (8).

Shooting enemies into the plasma gate is best done while crouching with R3. Make sure that you are standing in a straight line.

 Repair the Sensors
Repair the Sensors on Communications Deck.

For objective three you’ll need to fix the sensors on the Communications Deck, which is found on the third floor.
When you arrive on the third floor, there’ll be a huge green dot on your map . You can place a custom way-point with X while in the map menu. You wont need any weapons to complete this mission. The game will provide you with a gravity gun that has unlimited ammo for the duration of this mission. Upon arriving in the correct area you will need to fix the sensors. This is done by placing a battery into each of the correct slots.

First & Second Battery & Doors (see drawing below)
It is highly recommended that you start with the door that is marked blue with the “1d”. To Open this door, simply insert the battery that is marked with a “1” into the blue “1b” slot. The battery can be found in front of the battery slots. You can pick up the battery (1) with the gravity gun that you found on the table. When inserted, the “1d” door will open. You’ll need to pick up the battery that is in the middle of the room (marked with a “2”). Insert this battery into the “1d” battery slot.

Be very careful, enemies will spawn! You can defeat them by using your gravity gun. Pick them up with R2 and smack them to death. Smacking them requires you to move your head. You can also shoot them away, however this will cause less damage. The area is also packed with explosive red barrels. When all of the enemies are killed, the second phase will start. The start of the second phase begins when NPC starts talking to you.

The second phase is pretty much the same as the first phase. Take the battery out of the “1b” slot and insert it into the “2b” slot. This will open the “2d” door! You will notice that you are missing a battery that is needed to activate this slot. Walk towards the “3d” door and you will see that the door is half open. Behind the half open door is a battery. Grab it with your gravity gun and insert it into the battery slot in the “2d” door. Then repeat the fighting phase and survive.

Third door (see drawing below)
Now that you have completed 2 out of the 3 doors, it is time to complete the “Purple 3d” door. Pick up the Battery from the ”2b” slot and put it into the “3d” slot. NOT THE “3b” SLOT! A lot of enemies will spawn, but to deal with them you will need to make good use of the half open door from the “3d” section. Press R3 and crouch under the half open door into the “3d” area. The door won’t open and the enemies won’t be able to get through. Simply kill them all in order to complete the mission.

Last part
Now that all of the electricity is flowing, you’ll need to walk towards the door on your right. It is marked with a green dot in the drawing below. This area is unstable and will kill you over time. You will need to make it to the other side as fast as possible. The area is packed with health kits that will help you survive. You should have at least 300 to 400 health before trying this. As mentioned in the Tips section, you can upgrade this at the base. You’ll need to teleport (X) to make your way through the damaged area with a lot of obstacles. Once you arrive at the airlock door the mission will almost be over. Make sure you loot the supply crate on your left and interact with the table by looking at it.

A Fallen Hero
Find the Captain’s body on Engineering Deck

For this trophy you’ll need to find the captain on deck level 4 of the Persistence. Deck level 4 is packed with strong enemies, the hardest thing about this mission is reaching it safe and sound. The mission itself only lasts for about 3 minutes and thus is rather short.
Before completing Objective 4, please consider to do the following:

• Upgrade your weapons
• Buy some weapons before entering deck level 4
• Get some invisibility items
• Get a good upgrade on your health, stealth, dark matter and melee damage.

You’ll need a to find a keycard(1) in a area that is full with dead enemies. The keycard can be found on the left side within the area. When you activate the keycard in the terminal(2), a horde of enemies(5) will come trough the door(4). Make sure you’re ready for them. You could skip them by turning invisible. Make your way into the captain her chambers. This is done by following the path i drafted below. Take the portal (6) and then take the other portal(7). Please note that there will be a few Weapers on your way towards the captain. Upon finding the captain(9) her body, harvest her DNA by pressing square. After this the trophy should pop.

 Going Home!
Complete the game.

For this trophy you’ll need to complete objective 5. This is the last objective within the game. After completing this you are considered to have completed the story line. For this trophy you need to activate the warpdrive. This can be done by heading towards the bridge. This mission will mostly be story line talking without you doing anything. When you enter the bridge you should interact with the Terminal(1). After a few seconds you’ll be able to choose between Zimri(2, Purple) and Serena(2, Red). Please remember that saving the one will leave the second one behind.
You can save the second however by completing the Super Happy ending trophy.

 Super Happy Ending
Save both Serena and Zimri.

This is a trophy that *could* be part of the main story, and perhaps it is. However is this guide the trophy does not belong towards the storyline.

In the last objective you will need to save either Serena or Zimri for the Going home! trophy. The story then tells you that you can save both by continuing your way towards the terminal at the end of the hallway. You will need to fight off a few waves of enemies. There will be a lot of enemies, so make sure you have enough weapons with you. Between the waves are areas that you can use to get some weapons and health. Use them well.

You will start your fight in area 2, so make sure you buy a item in area 1. After you defeat the enemies, make your way towards area 3. In area 3 you can buy a item again, make sure you do this! Fight your way trough area 4 and you will be save in area 5. You will once be able to buy a item. Prepare for the last fight that you will encounter in the next arena. The arena has a powerfield that you can fall into, or you could toss enemies into it with a GRAV HOOK. After you kill all the enemies, interact with the Terminal and the trophy will pop.

You will need to make your way to the other side as fast as possible. The area does not have air pressure and it’s up to you to restore it.
