Mass Effect Legendary Edition: Trophy Guide (& How To Achieve Them)

There are 127 trophies across three games for players to unlock in Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and some of them are missable. Gamers will need to complete a thorough playthrough of each game in order to find and unlock every trophy for this remastered edition. A few of the achievements players can complete are for all three games, but the others are broken up into Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 trophies.

With over 100 trophies to achieve, players will have plenty of time-consuming activities to complete in each of the Mass Effect games included in Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Some of the achievements are awarded automatically as players move through the main storyline or by completing side missions. Other trophies require players to kill a specific number of enemies or romance NPCs.

Players will come across a lot of the trophies naturally as long as they’re trying out every ability and weapon. However, it’s likely that players will need to complete each game multiple times to unlock everything if they aren’t careful. The missable trophies frequently become available to unlock during optional side and loyalty missions, so players should check their achievement list frequently to avoid missing them.

Achieving Every Trophy in Mass Effect Legendary Edition

There are 34 trophies in Mass Effect, 44 in Mass Effect 2, 38 in Mass Effect 3, and 11 achievements that span across all three games. After completing all the storyline trophy requirements, players will still need to complete around 100 challenges in order to obtain all 127 trophies. Players looking to get 100% completion in all three games need to finish the following tasks:
