How to unlock the Explorer: Trailblazer achievement in Forspoken - Definitive Guide

“Points of interest” in Forspoken are areas in the open-world, where you have an objective to complete. These can include clearing a camp of enemies, completing a Locked Labyrinth, or searching for intel, and so on. 

There are a ridiculous amount of different icons on the map, all of which could be argued are “points of interest,” but in Forspoken, only a few qualify for this trophy.

Here are the various different types of points of interest that do count:
  • “Cave, Ruin, etc.” which come in the form of broken carts to scout, campgrounds to clear, caves to empty out, and so on. These give stat boosts, Archive entries, equipment, and more. 
  • “Village. Fortress, etc.” which come in the form of villages of enemies to clear and fortresses to clear, and so on.
  • And finally, Locked Labyrinths, which give you equipment.
Here’s the type of events that don’t count:
  • Monuments, which give stat boosts.
  • Tanta’s Familiar Monuments.
  • Chests marked on the map.
  • Unlocking Pilgrim’s Refuges.
  • Mutants
  • Belfries.
  • Photo Spots.
  • Flashbacks, which give mana boosts (flag icons).
Luckily, there’s a crap ton of these, and you can rinse them pretty quickly. In all, there are 95 “Village, Fortress, Etc.”, 78 “Cave, Ruin, Etc.” and 13 Locked Labyrinths, so there’s plenty to choose from. The general rule of thumb is though: if it’s too easy to finish (like a Refuge or a Belfry), it doesn’t count, and the same if there’s another trophy tied to that activity.

If you’re still looking for items to populate the Archive for the Archivist trophy_gold.png , focus on the purple down arrow icons overlaid over the top of the actual icon first (it'll say "Archive Entry" if you hover over the icon. The same goes for Kit and Caboodle trophy_silver.png - look for places that drop items and equipment on the map (the cloak symbo, the necklace symbol or the nails symbol).

In truth, you should actually start with all the equipment places, and then see where you are after.
