How to Get All Achievements/Trophies in Soul Reaver 2

Soul Reaver 2 serves as the sequel to the story told in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. Both of which are featured in the remastered collection Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered. This collection includes achievements/trophies for the original game, and for Soul Reaver 2. PS5 players get a single platinum trophy shared among both these titles. PS4 players, on the other hand, will get a Platinum Trophy for each game.

Some of these achievements/trophies will come by simply progressing the story, which is common practice among other games for an easy completionist run. Other achievements/trophies can have players needing to go out of their way in order to get them. There are 10 trophies in particular that players can completely miss — and should be noted down in advance.

All Soul Reaver 2 Achievement/Trophies

Players should save the game at various points to make achievement/trophy hunting easier. It is recommended they make a new save for each new area they enter. This way, they can attempt any trophies they might have missed. There is also a speedrun achievement/trophy, so certain trophies they missed can also be picked up at the same time. The Achievements/Trophies in Soul Reaver 2 differ significantly from those in the first game, such as how players will not be rewarded for taking down boss characters.
