Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter packs 49 achievements, and hitting them all earns the platinum-tier Hero of Liberl. Some drop naturally as you push through Estelle’s journey across Liberl, while others demand grinding battle counters, filling out every in-game database, and clearing the final chapter on the hardest setting. Here is what each one wants from you.

Quick answer: The game has 49 achievements. Eleven come from finishing story chapters, most of the rest are cumulative battle, crafting, and collection milestones, and Hero of Liberl unlocks once every other achievement is done.

Story progression achievements

These unlock automatically as you clear the prologue, the eight numbered chapters, and the finale. You cannot miss them on any single playthrough, and several are flagged as secret until you trigger them.

Combat and battle counter achievements

This is the biggest group, and most of it is cumulative across the whole game. Actions add up in both Command Battles and Quick Battles, so the fastest way to clear the large-number targets is to lean on Quick Battles against weak enemies once your party overpowers a region.

AchievementHow to unlock
Budding BracerAt Balstar Channel, finish the training course.
Brilliant MagicianActivate arts a total of 200 times.
Ultimate Secret TechniqueActivate S-Crafts a total of 200 times.
Eightfold AnnihilationDefeat 8 enemies at once in a single Command Battle.

Swift WarriorTake down more than 450 enemies during Quick Battles.
Valiant FighterDefeat 750 or more enemies total.
King of the BattlefieldDefeat 1,500 or more enemies total.

King of the Battlefield’s 1,500-kill count covers Command and Quick Battles combined, so if you are chasing it, run Quick Battles wherever the auto-win prompt appears rather than manually fighting each pack.

Crafting and enhancement achievements

Four of these want you to enhance a category of gear 15 times each, which stacks up fast if you upgrade equipment as you buy it. The other two are late-game goals tied to Zemurian Ore weapons and maxing out orbments.

AchievementHow to unlock
Weapon EnthusiastEnhance weapons 15 times.
Armor EnthusiastEnhance armor 15 times.
Accessory ArtisanEnhance accessories 15 times.
Quartz ArtisanEnhance quartz 15 times.
Ultimate ArtificerProduce at least 3 weapons using Zemurian Ore.
Orbment MasterMax out every orbment slot for all 12 party members.

Collection and completion achievements

These are the completionist backbone of the platinum run. Several are missable across a single playthrough because quests, books, and recipes are tied to narrow story windows, so keep multiple save files and clear side content before advancing major dungeons.

AchievementHow to unlock
MillionaireAccumulate 1,000,000 mira in total.
Support ExpertRaise Estelle’s Support Ability to Lv. 9.
Master of ArtsUnlock every art.
Quartz CollectorCollect all types of quartz.
Battle MasterThe Combat Handbook must contain records for all 410 enemy types.
Book MasterFill in every entry on book pages.
Master AnglerCatch every type of fish.

Peculiar ChefSuccessfully create all peculiar dishes.
Quest MasterComplete and report every quest.
Treasure HunterOpen 566 treasure chests.
A-Rank BracerReach Senior Bracer A-Rank.
The Invincible DuoComplete all reward objectives.

A-Rank Bracer depends on hitting the maximum Bracer Point total, and entering a region’s scenario dungeon fails any pending quests there. Report every request and check each guild notice board before crossing a checkpoint or boarding an airship.

Boss and difficulty achievements

The hardest trophies sit here. Two are secret boss kills, one requires a full Nightmare clear, and Hero of Liberl is the catch-all platinum that pops the moment everything else is done.

AchievementHow to unlock
Silver Will, Golden WingsDefeat Loewe, the Bladelord.
The Wicked LiberatorDefeat the Lv. 175 Angel Weissmann (Final Form).
Hell’s CrownFinish the game while playing on Nightmare difficulty.
Hero of LiberlUnlock every other achievement.

How to confirm an achievement unlocked

Each achievement fires an on-screen notification the instant its condition is met, and it then shows as unlocked in your platform’s achievement or trophy list. For the cumulative combat, crafting, and collection targets, there is no partial pop, so keep an eye on your in-game counters and the Bracer Notebook to see how close you are before the toast appears. Once all 48 other entries are green, Hero of Liberl unlocks on its own without any extra input.
