There's something about indie games that naturally draws gamers to them. Maybe it's the out-of-the-box storytelling, compelling visuals, or the fact that just a small amount of people were able to create something so good. One of the indie games that has been taking player's attention in the last few years is Abzu, a game that focuses on exploring the ocean. Just like in Journey, Abzu has no dialogue; all you need to know is shown to you through exploration of the world and a few cutscenes.
The game was initially released way back in 2016, but it's one of the games that will be available for free t𒁏his Spring to Playstation users thanks to the Play At Home program. So if you're a first-time player or just want to revisit Abzu's beautiful ocean, here's every trophy you can collect during your gameplay.
Common Trophies
Breach - Bronze
This trophy is really easy to get, and you can even get it as early as when the game starts. All you have to do to unlock this trophy is "Leap from the water," whi🐼ch means swimming quickly to the surface, so your character jumps into the air. Press the X or the left-click button before you breach the water to give yourself a boost.
Jetstream - Bronze
The description for this one says that you have to "Burst 15 fish schools in the jetstream", which means you'll have to swim through the schools of fish clumped together th💖at you'll find during the underwater jetstreams scattered throughout the game.
To unlock the trophy, just repeat that action 15 times througho𒀰ut you💮r playthrough. Keep in mind that you only need to swim towards them to make them move; there's no need to use the "chirp" button.
Uncommon Trophies
Ballet - Bronze
To unlock this one, you'll have to "Perform a flip while riding a creature." This means finding a large sea creature to ride aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnd pressing the O button or E to perform a barrel roll while riding it.
Food Chain - Bronze
This trophy requires you to "Witness predation while meditating." What you have to do is meditate in one of the shark-like statues scattered through the game, and while you're sitting there, look around you. By doing so, you'll be able to watch the different species that call this ocean their home. Just stick around until you see a predatory species (like a shark or a grouper) eating something.
Kraken - Bronze
The description for this one is rather cryptic; it says you have to "Discover those that lurk in the abyss." But don't worry, a🐎ll you have to do to unlock this trophy is say hello to one 𝕴of the squids that appear at the end of chapter four. Keep in mind that you'll have to do this once the area is restored and you have released the Kraken.
There is a chance the pressing the square button to say hello isn't enough to unlock the trophy; if that happens to you, just ride the squid for a little while unt♈il the trophy pop-ups on your scဣreen.
Connection - Bronze
This one is pretty self-explanatory. The description says you'll have to "Ride the Great White Shark." To unlock this t🐈rophy, just ride the Great White Shark that you'll encounter throughout the game.
You'll only get the opportunity to ride it during the game's final chapter but the cool thing is that you can continue to ride it after this moment⛦.
Leviathan - Bronze
If you've been paying attention, you'll know that riding creatures is one of the things Abzu encourages its players to do. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that the Leviathan trophy asks players to "Breach the water on the back of a blue whale," which basically means ride one of the whales tha🍷t appear on the game's final chapter.
Keep in mind that the whales are enormous and you can't control the🌌m, instead just ride one of them until it leaps from the water.
Reflection - Platinum
You don't have to do anything extra to unlock this trophy, as it will automatically pop up once you have completed Abzu's adventure for the first time. So just sit back and relax.
