Marvel's Wolverine Trophy Guide

Unlock Details

Encounter The Hand during the Madripoor mission "One Last Mission." During this mission, Logan encounters The Hand, a secretive mercenary organization whose traditional fighting methods contrast with the technologically advanced Reavers working under Trask. These warriors might prefer old-fashioned techniques over futuristic weapons, but that doesn't make them any less dangerous. Fortunately, Logan has ten very convincing arguments for anyone who wants to challenge him. Simply progress through the mission until you encounter The Hand to unlock the trophy naturally through the story.

Complete the memory sequence mission "Don't Go Gentle." During this mysterious mission, Logan experiences fragments of his past while confronting shadowy enemies similar to those encountered inside the Helix Engine during "Death Comes to Death." The mission begins with several combat encounters before shifting into a more personal experience that challenges Logan's understanding of his own history. Defeat the enemies, follow the mission objectives, and continue through the memory sequence until it concludes. The A Previous Life trophy unlocks automatically upon completing the mission. No additional requirements or special actions are needed. Just keep moving forward as Logan discovers that his past might be even more complicated than his anger management issues.

Defeat Essex during "A Sinister End," the final Japan mission and second-to-last mission of Marvel's Wolverine. Logan finally confronts Essex in Shinjuku, and this fight is anything but straightforward. Essex uses psychic abilities, illusions, doppelgangers, and devastating combinations to keep you guessing. The battle has four phases, each introducing new attacks and mechanics. By this point, Logan has dealt with plenty of dangerous enemies, but Essex clearly wants to make sure you remember this particular family reunion from hell. Phase 1 Essex relies on deceptive attack combinations, usually consisting of three consecutive strikes. Psychic Punch Combo: Essex charges a left hook surrounded by purple energy before suddenly dashing toward Logan. He follows with a quick right hook and finishes with a powerful psychic blast that has a longer wind-up animation. Psychic Swords: Essex can create swords using his purple energy. These combinations include an additional fourth attack, ending with a powerful downward strike. Illusions: Essex can create two doppelgangers to confuse you during the battle. Don't assume keeping your distance will protect you. Essex can quickly close the gap with his attacks. Use L1 to parry incoming strikes whenever possible, and Dodge Roll with Circle when you need to escape a dangerous combination. Continue attacking until you've removed approximately one-third of Essex's health. Phase 2 With roughly two-thirds of his health remaining, Essex introduces more aggressive attacks involving his doppelgangers. His most dangerous new move is a four-part combination: Essex summons a doppelganger to his right, which launches toward Logan surrounded by purple energy. A second doppelganger follows with another attack. The real Essex delivers a direct strike. All three descend together for a final overhead attack. Be patient and watch the entire combination before attempting to counterattack. Essex loves making you think he's finished attacking, only to introduce another version of himself. Apparently, one supervillain wasn't annoying enough. Continue damaging Essex until another third of his health is depleted. Phase 3 Once Essex has approximately one-third of his health remaining, the battle transitions into a climbing sequence involving a gigantic Sentinel. Jean helps Logan ascend the machine by moving objects into position, similar to the refinery escape during "Raise Some Hell." Follow the available climbing route and use Jean's assistance to reach the next encounter. After the following cutscene, the third phase begins. Psychic Restraint: Essex hovers in front of Logan, forcing you to slowly advance toward him. Continue moving forward until you break free. Red Lightning: Essex begins summoning red lightning directly onto Logan's position. Use Circle to Dodge Roll away from the targeted locations. Extended Doppelganger Combo: Essex's illusion-based laser combination now consists of five consecutive attacks. Keep dodging and defending until the entire sequence finishes. Stay mobile and avoid rushing into an attack while Essex is still performing a combination. Reduce his health to approximately 10% to trigger the final phase. Phase 4 With Essex nearly defeated, a cutscene plays before Logan enters Berserker Rage. Now it's Wolverine's turn to be the nightmare. Red visions of Essex surround Logan, and you'll need to fight through them to finish the battle. Attack the closest visions rather than chasing enemies across the arena. Use your Special Techniques to deal heavy damage and clear nearby threats. Press L2 + R2 to perform Critical Strikes whenever available. Continue attacking the visions to reduce Essex's remaining health. You don't need to defeat every vision individually. Each one contributes damage toward Essex's overall health, so focus on whichever enemies are easiest to reach. Once you've dealt enough damage, the encounter transitions into a final quick-time event. Complete the on-screen prompts to defeat Essex and unlock the A Sinister End trophy.

Tip

Essex's biggest advantage is his ability to extend attacks beyond what you expect. Learn to recognize his three-, four-, and five-hit combinations, and don't rush to counterattack before they're finished. During the final Berserker Rage sequence, prioritize nearby visions and use Critical Strikes to end the fight quickly. After everything Essex has put Logan through, it's finally time to settle the score.

Complete the Berserker Rage encounter during the final Canada mission, "Something Much Stronger." During a scripted combat encounter, Logan unleashes his full fury and enters Berserker Rage. His Rage Meter will automatically fill completely, allowing you to tear through the enemies unfortunate enough to be standing nearby. It's Wolverine at his angriest, which is saying something considering his usual personality. Continue fighting until every enemy in the encounter has been defeated. Once the battle ends and the following cutscene begins, the Berserker Unleashed trophy will unlock automatically.

Tip

Don't worry if the trophy doesn't pop immediately when Berserker Rage activates. You must finish the entire encounter and trigger the following cutscene before it unlocks.

Unlock Details

Complete the Fist Hand encounter during "In the Shadows," the fourth Japan mission. During this mission, you'll receive an objective in the top-right corner of the screen instructing you to "Defeat the Fist Hand." The Fist Hand is a powerful bruiser-type enemy, similar to those encountered earlier in "Raise Some Hell." It has considerable health and can unleash combinations of attacks that make getting too aggressive a dangerous idea. Unlike ordinary bruisers, this enemy also has a ranged attack that spits black bile toward Logan. Not exactly the warm welcome you'd expect in Japan. Keep your distance when you're not attacking, dodge incoming projectiles, and look for opportunities to strike between its attacks. Defeat the Fist Hand and complete the encounter to unlock the Careful What You Wish For trophy.

Tip

Don't stand at a distance waiting for the Fist Hand to approach. Its black bile attack means it can still threaten you from afar. Stay mobile, close the distance when it's safe, and punish openings rather than trading hits.

Survive the plane crash during "Jetlag," the first Japan mission. During the flight, Logan and Jean's plane is attacked by ninjas from The Hand. Apparently, even flying isn't enough to escape people who want to fight Wolverine. After defeating the enemies inside the aircraft, Logan gets thrown out of the plane. You'll enter a quick-time event where you must slowly claw your way forward to climb back inside. Follow the on-screen button prompts to return to the aircraft, then finish dealing with the remaining members of The Hand. Once the enemies are defeated and the following cutscene involving Logan and Jean plays, the Crash Course trophy unlocks automatically.

Defeat Sabretooth during the Madripoor mission "Red Right Hand." Following a confrontation with Essex, Logan faces a Helix Engine-powered Sabretooth in a brutal battle between two mutants with powerful healing abilities. Sabretooth fights much like Wolverine, relying on vicious claw attacks, relentless aggression, and his own Healing Factor. The biggest challenge isn't just surviving his attacks. It's dealing damage quickly enough to stop him from recovering. Two angry mutants with healing powers and decades of unresolved issues. What could possibly go wrong? Phase 1 The battle begins on an abandoned street in Lowtown. Healing Factor: Sabretooth gradually regenerates health when you aren't keeping up the pressure. Stay aggressive and prevent him from recovering by building his Stagger Meter. Claw Attacks: Sabretooth uses close-range claw combinations. Press L1 to parry his regular attacks, build Stagger, and create openings for your own attacks. Special Techniques: Use your available Special Techniques alongside regular attacks and parries to increase his Stagger Meter and interrupt his healing. Unblockable Attacks: Watch for the red Circular Flare warning. Sabretooth can unleash unblockable physical attacks and throw objects toward Logan. Dodge Roll with Circle instead of attempting to parry. The key is balancing aggression with defense. Attack whenever possible, but don't get so carried away that Sabretooth turns Logan into a scratching post. Continue fighting until Sabretooth reaches approximately 25% health, triggering a series of story sequences. During the transition, Logan's vision becomes impaired, and you'll need to search for Sabretooth while dealing with the reduced visibility. Progress through this sequence until the battle moves to a temple. Phase 2 Sabretooth retains most of his previous attacks but introduces additional moves designed to catch you off guard. Pillar Pounce: Sabretooth occasionally jumps onto a nearby pillar before launching himself toward Logan. This attack is marked by a red Circular Flare and cannot be parried. Dodge Roll away with Circle. Ground Kick: Sabretooth kicks the ground to disrupt Logan's vision, making it harder to track his movements. Dodge away to avoid being caught off guard. Claw Combinations: His familiar close-range attacks remain dangerous. Continue parrying regular strikes and using Special Techniques to build Stagger and limit his healing. Keep the pressure on Sabretooth, avoid his unblockable attacks, and continue dealing damage until he's finally defeated. The Had To Put Him Down trophy unlocks automatically after winning the battle.

Tip

Don't play too defensively against Sabretooth. His Healing Factor can undo your progress if you spend too much time avoiding him. Parry his regular attacks, build Stagger, and punish openings with Special Techniques. The quicker you keep him staggered, the less time he'll have to heal. Turns out the best way to deal with a healing mutant is to keep giving him something to heal from.

Complete the mission "Raise Some Hell," the third Canada mission, by destroying Trask's refinery. During this mission, Logan continues his assault on Trask's operations, discovers a mysterious robot under construction, and encounters the mutant hostages from "The One That Got Away." You'll also encounter a new enemy type: Bruisers. These massive enemies have significantly more health than regular soldiers and can unleash several consecutive attacks before finishing with an unblockable red Circular Flare attack. Parry their regular attacks with L1 to build Rage, but be ready to double-tap Circle to dodge their unblockable finishers. Don't get greedy with your attacks. These guys hit like trucks, and unfortunately, they're built like them too. After rescuing the hostages, Logan and Jean Grey enter a room containing yellow terminals. Destroy the first yellow terminal to trigger the refinery's destruction sequence. As molten metal begins filling the room, climb toward higher ground. Follow Jean's assistance as she levitates objects into position, allowing you to jump across gaps and climb upward. Continue destroying the yellow terminals you encounter while ascending. After a story sequence involving Skullbuster, defeat the remaining enemy forces. Complete the final running escape sequence to get out of the collapsing refinery. The Hell Raisers trophy unlocks automatically after completing the refinery destruction sequence.

Tip

During the escape, pay attention to the objects Jean moves into position. They're your route forward, so follow them rather than searching for another path. Logan might be nearly indestructible, but taking a relaxing swim in molten metal still isn't a great idea.

Reach Rage Tier 3 during the main story mission "A Debt Repaid." Early in the game, Logan only has access to two Rage Tiers. During A Debt Repaid, Logan and Mystique will encounter a group of Trask's forces. As you approach the confrontation, Logan's Rage Meter will surge to Tier 3, automatically unlocking the trophy. Reaching Tier 3 also unlocks Critical Strikes, performed by pressing L2 + R2 against staggered, frightened, or low-health enemies. These brutal finishers instantly eliminate their targets and restore a small amount of Rage.

Tip

Keep fighting aggressively to maintain your Rage Meter. Critical Strikes help replenish Rage while making sure your enemies have a very bad day.

Defeat the Sentinel Prototype during "Mutant Detected," the second Madripoor mission. Remember that mysterious robot under construction at Trask's refinery? Well, it's finished, and unfortunately, nobody thought to install an off switch. The Sentinel Prototype is a massive, stationary boss that attacks with powerful arm swings, tracking eye lasers, and devastating attacks covering large portions of the arena. Phase 1 Your first objective is to damage the Sentinel while avoiding its attacks. Arm Swings: Watch for the Sentinel winding up its arms before attacking. Parry with L1 when possible, or use Circle to dodge out of danger. Eye Lasers: The Sentinel can fire tracking laser beams from its eyes. Keep moving and dodge to avoid being hit. Exposed Wires: Attack the Sentinel's arms until orange wires become exposed. When this happens, press L2 + R2 to perform a powerful Critical Strike against the damaged arm. Continue damaging the Sentinel until you've removed approximately 40% of its total health, triggering the second phase. Phase 2 The Sentinel introduces new attacks that cover much larger portions of the battlefield. Sweeping Arm Attack: The Sentinel raises an arm high into the air before slamming it onto one edge of the arena. It then sweeps the arm across the entire battlefield. Watch the wind-up and prepare to evade the sweeping attack. Rocket Barrage: The Sentinel targets large portions of the ground with rockets. Look for the orange targeting indicators and move into an area without them. These safe pockets are your best chance of surviving the barrage. Continue avoiding its attacks and exploiting opportunities to damage its arms until the Sentinel Prototype is defeated. The Kicked the Bucket trophy unlocks automatically after winning the battle.

Tip

Pay close attention to the orange indicators throughout this fight. Orange wires signal an opportunity for a Critical Strike, while orange markings on the ground warn you where rockets are about to land. One means attack, the other means get your furry backside out of there.

Defeat Omega Red during the mission "Last Meal," which begins after Logan leaps from Team X's VTOL near the end of "A Debt Repaid." Omega Red is your first major boss fight, and he's bringing a whole collection of Carbonadium tentacles to the party. The key to winning is learning when to parry, when to dodge, and when to get those claws swinging. Phase 1 Omega Red has several attacks you'll need to watch for: Tentacle Whips: He attacks from a distance using his tentacles. Press L1 to parry these attacks and build his Stagger Meter. Once staggered, he'll become vulnerable to your attacks. Red Aura Attacks: When you see a red circular flare, get out of the way! These attacks cannot be parried. He'll either swing both tentacles or throw barrels and other objects at you. Double-tap Circle to Dodge Roll. Tentacle Defense: Occasionally, Omega Red will raise his tentacles to protect himself. Hold Square to break through his defense, stagger him, and deal damage. Keep attacking between his moves, parry whenever it's safe, and avoid getting too greedy. Those tentacles have a longer reach than Logan's patience. Phase 2 After depleting Omega Red's health inside the building, the fight enters its second phase. He retains his previous attacks but introduces two new threats: Tentacle Grab: Omega Red winds up his tentacles before attempting to grab Logan. Dodge immediately when you see the red circular flare. If he catches you, you'll need to complete a Square quick-time event to escape. Unfortunately, the grab restores some of his health even if you break free. Debris Barrage: Once his health drops to approximately 50%, he'll begin throwing large chunks of debris in rapid succession. Keep Dodge Rolling until the entire barrage finishes. One dodge won't be enough. Continue parrying his normal attacks, dodging anything marked by a red flare, and attacking whenever he leaves himself vulnerable. Defeat Omega Red to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Focus on filling Omega Red's Stagger Meter through L1 parries rather than constantly attacking. If you're struggling with parry timing, double-tap Circle to Dodge Roll instead. Staying alive is more important than showing off, especially when your opponent has more tentacles than manners.

Complete all 30 main story missions in Marvel's Wolverine. Simply play through Logan's adventure until the credits roll. There are no difficulty requirements, so you're free to play on whichever setting you prefer. Along the way, you'll want to keep an eye out for the game's 102 collectibles: 68 Material Crates 20 Whisky Bottles 14 Nightmare Doors Fortunately, these collectibles aren't completely hidden. Blue pings, Wolverine's scent-tracking ability, and the blue and purple objective strands can help you locate many of them while following the main path. You can also equip the Crate Finder and Whisky Finder perks under the Adaptation tab to make tracking down collectibles easier. To help you stay organized, here's the complete mission-by-mission collectible breakdown.

Tip

Collect as much as possible during your first playthrough, especially while Wolverine's scent-tracking abilities and collectible-finding perks are available. You can replay missions through the Nightmare Cabin after finishing the story, so nothing is permanently missable. There's no need to turn your first adventure into a scavenger hunt, but grabbing collectibles as you encounter them will save plenty of cleanup later. Besides, Logan has enough problems without having to revisit half the world looking for misplaced whisky bottles.

Complete the Canada Highway Chase during the mission "The One That Got Away." After tracking down a mysterious red-haired mutant, Logan encounters Trask's security forces and discovers that Jean Grey is helping her friend Callisto. Unfortunately, Trask's forces have a truck full of mutant hostages, and Logan isn't exactly the type to let them drive away peacefully. Time for a motorcycle chase. Because apparently running enemies down with adamantium claws wasn't exciting enough. During the chase, you'll need to pursue Trask's vehicles while avoiding traffic and obstacles along the highway. Motorcycle controls: Left Stick: Steer left and right to avoid oncoming traffic and obstacles. R2: Accelerate to catch up with the enemy vehicles. L2: Brake when approaching dangerous sections or traffic. Square: Slash enemy vehicle tires with Wolverine's adamantium claws when close enough. As you catch up with Trask's vehicles, use Square to destroy their tires and eliminate the threats. Once you've dealt with the vehicles, the chase transitions into combat encounters on top of moving vehicles. Continue through these fights and complete the final quick-time events to finish the sequence. The Road Rage trophy unlocks automatically when the mission's highway chase concludes.

Tip

Focus on steering around traffic rather than holding R2 constantly. Use L2 to slow down when necessary, and watch for opportunities to slash enemy tires. Logan can regenerate from just about anything, but that doesn't mean you should test his motorcycle insurance.

Progress through the mission "This Was the Dream," the third-to-last mission in the main story. During this mission, Logan and Jean discover disturbing experiments involving deceased mutants and genetic samples containing isolated X-Genes. As you continue through the facility and uncover more information about these experiments, the story leads to a pivotal confrontation involving Walter and Essex. Following this sequence, a major cutscene reveals Walter under Essex's control. The Small Mercies trophy unlocks automatically once the cutscene concludes. No special actions or additional objectives are required beyond progressing through the story.

Defeat Deathstrike during the mission "Death's Match," the eighth Japan mission. During this mission, Logan confronts Yuriko Oyama, also known as Deathstrike, at Mount Haku. She's a deadly opponent who combines ranged energy slashes, electric traps, and vicious close-range attacks. She's got claws, you've got claws. Unfortunately, she's also got a few tricks that make this fight considerably more annoying than a regular family disagreement. Phase 1 The battle begins in a circular arena, where Deathstrike uses several attacks you'll need to recognize. Purple Energy Slashes: Yuriko launches purple slashes toward Logan from a distance. You can parry these attacks, but doing so will not increase her Stagger Meter. Electric Landmines: Yuriko leaps into the air and deploys electric mines around the arena. These attacks are marked by a red Circular Flare and cannot be parried. Dodge Roll away using Circle and move to another part of the arena until she approaches you. Close-Range Combos: Yuriko frequently performs three regular attacks followed by a yellow Reckless attack. Focus on intercepting and parrying her close-range attacks to build her Stagger Meter and create opportunities to deal damage. Continue attacking whenever you have a safe opening until Yuriko reaches approximately 50% health, triggering a cutscene and the second phase. Phase 2 Deathstrike becomes faster and switches to more aggressive claw-based attacks. Rapid Claw Combos: Yuriko unleashes several consecutive claw strikes. These regular attacks can be parried, allowing you to counter her aggression. Unblockable Combo Finishers: Unlike Phase 1, Yuriko now finishes her combinations with a red Circular Flare attack instead of a yellow Reckless attack. Watch for the red warning and Dodge Roll away using Circle rather than attempting another parry. Keep your attacks controlled, punish her openings, and avoid getting caught by her unblockable finishers. Once Deathstrike is defeated, the Struck Dead trophy unlocks automatically.

Tip

Focus on parrying Yuriko's close-range attacks rather than her purple ranged slashes, since the ranged attacks won't build her Stagger Meter. During Phase 2, be especially careful not to parry the final attack in her combos. The first few strikes might be manageable, but that last one is her way of reminding you that she also has anger issues.

Survive the Helix Engine sequence during the Japan mission "Death Comes to Death." Following a dangerous encounter with Yuriko, Jean places Logan inside the Helix Engine to ensure his survival. Inside the Engine, Logan gains access to powerful Helix Claws and must battle shadowy figures resembling warriors from The Hand. During the encounter, you'll also have access to a powerful defensive shout by pressing R1. This ability sends nearby enemies flying backward, making it particularly useful whenever you're surrounded. Keep an eye on the ability's recharge indicator in the bottom-right corner of the screen so you know when it's available again. Fight through the shadow enemies and survive until the following cutscene begins. The Monster In Me trophy will unlock automatically.

Tip

Save your R1 shout for moments when several enemies surround you. It's an excellent way to create breathing room and avoid taking unnecessary damage. Even Wolverine needs a little personal space sometimes.

Progress through the Madripoor mission "Roll the Dice" and dress up as Patch. During this mission, Logan and Jean make their way into Hightown, where Logan decides it's time to keep a low profile. Apparently, the best disguise for a man with adamantium claws and a terrible temper is putting on some fancy clothes and pretending nobody recognizes him. Simply walk forward with Jean and enter the casino. The Undercover trophy unlocks automatically as Logan begins his undercover operation. No special actions are required. Just follow the story and enjoy Wolverine's attempt at being subtle.
