Assassin’s Creed 2 is one of the best games in the series. Anyone who enjoyed Assassin’s Creed when it first came out undoubtedly played this title as well. It improved upon everything and gave us one of the best Assassin characters to date in Ezio. Playing this game is a joy, but if you need a reason to play it again, getting the platinum trophy should be good enough. In this Assassin’s Creed 2 Trophy Guide, we’ll show you how you can pick up every trophy in the game. We’ll do this in an order that makes sense and won’t see you grinding for a trophy that you could have obtained hours ago.

Story

As with all single-player games, you’re going to pick up a good chunk of the trophies by playing through the story alone. There are fourteen sequences to work through, and a lot of content to play through. Don’t rush it. Instead, take your time and enjoy the story. You will almost certainly pick up some of the random trophies in this list as well, but what we’ll list below are the ones you’re guaranteed to get. As a heads up for later, focus your efforts on getting the Fly Swatter trophy in Sequence 8. It’s the best part of the game to pick it up in. You should also avoid grabbing any feathers until later on. You’ll just get confused when you have to grab them all and you don’t know which ones you’ve missed.

Collectibles

This section of the guide is all about those things you can collect in the world. There are quite a few in this game, so be warned that you’re in for quite a time bringing things together. This is where you may want to reference a walkthrough for specific item locations. Hence why it makes sense to leave them all for the point in the game when you’re working through and grabbing each one. (https://thecenturionreport.com)

Strongholds and Purchasables

Part of collecting in this game is taking on Strongholds and buying everything you possibly can. The items you buy are added to your base and count towards the amount you earn in the game. It’s well-worth grabbing these early on so you can enhance your home and make even more money by the end of the game. It’ll certainly help in the late game stages.

Everything Else

These are the random trophies that you really need to be working towards in order to actually gain. They don’t really fit into any other category, though you can certainly pick them up at any point that you’re playing. These are definitely ones that you’ll need to keep checking the trophy list for so that you know what you’re chasing. Try to get a couple of them done each time you play so that the end of the game isn’t a needless slog for you.
