The Outer Worlds

Story-related; cannot be missed

There are four different endings to this DLC. Completing any one of them will pop the trophy. There are also four different trophies related to the various endings; however, you really only need to complete two of them. Using save files, you can get all four trophies rather easily on one playthrough.

Below is a breakdown (with spoilers) of the steps to ensure you are able to get all of the trophies without having to replay a much older save or the DLC entirely (or God forbid a new game):

• Step 1: During "The Red Tape of Command" Main Quest, you must SAVE before picking up Olivia's journal (don't overwrite this file).
  • 
• Step 2: Now, instead of picking up Olivia’s journal, head back to the Unreliable and travel to Ambrose Manor, then kill Minnie. Now, head back to your ship and travel to Gorgon Landing Pad; a man named Lucien will call you after you land. Now, head back to Olivia's journal, pick it up, and complete "The Red Tape of Command" Main Quest. This will pop Synthesize This.
• Step 3: During the "Ambrose Intersection" Main Quest, you'll have to choose a side between Olivia and Lucien; you'll want to choose Lucien's side. Head toward the objective "Olivia Ambrose" (not the "NDA Protocol"), kill Olivia, then activate the reactor. This will pop Greenlight Protocol.
• Step 4: After activating the reactor, head back to the ship and talk with Lucien. He'll give you a dead drop location for Olivia’s journal. Head to the planet Byzantium to the map marker (near the Parcel Storage entrance of the Halcyon Parcel Service). A man named Simon will appear. Talk to him (or kill him — I tried and it worked) and the quest will end, which will pop both The Postman and Peril on Gorgon.
• Step 5: Reload the save file that you made in Step 1. Pick up the journal and then head back to your ship.
• Step 6: Once you are on your ship, before interacting with the Navigation Terminal, make a backup save just in case something goes wrong. Then head toward the quest objectives that lead you to Minnie at the Ambrose Manor.
  • Note: You must have 150 Persuade skill before heading off your ship towards Minnie. I suggest doing a respec on your skills from the ship. If you don’t have enough skill points, use armor that has high Dialog or Persuade skills (using "Armor Master" Perk will double it) and use Felix’s "Bonus Support Persuade" Perk. Having Parvati and Felix wear armor with Persuade bonuses will help your overall Skill level as well.
• Step 7: Right after heading up the elevator and destroying a bunch of Mechanical Sentries in a room, make a new SAVE before heading to the large wall-like door. We will be using this save file again later.
  • 
• Step 8: In this step, you'll want to kill Minnie. Head through the door towards the marker. In this step, you want to choose the conversational option " Time to finish this." Then proceed to kill Minnie. After she is dead, head up the stairs to a room with a terminal. Choose the option "[Execute NDA Protocol]" and the trophy NDA Protocol will pop. You do not need to complete the mission (do so if you wish to see how it plays out).
• Step 9: Reload the save you made in Step 7. This time, you want to make a compromise between Minnie and Olivia. This is where the 150 Persuade skill will come in handy. When talking with Minnie, follow these dialogue options:
  • "Let's talk about this".
  • "What if you and your mother joined forces to cure the marauders?"
  • "[Persuade 65 (60 on easy)] If the marauders don’t get a fix, they'll just rampage across the colony." OR "[Inspiration 65 (60 on easy)] I thought you wanted to help people, not let them die?"
  • "[Persuade 100 (90 on Easy)] Why not give her a chance? She’s been involved with Adrena-Time from the start."
  • "[Persuade 150] The Adrena-Time project failed, Minnie. You couldn’t have saved it."
  • "Opportunities present themselves every day. Your Gorgon will come."
  • "This isn't failure. It’s a second chance to work with Olivia."
  • No other dialogue choices matter from here
• Step 10: Now that Minnie has accepted to work with Olivia, go to Olivia to convince her to make peace. When talking with Olivia, follow these dialogue options:
  • "Woah, hold on! I'm here to make peace!"
  • "Minnie wants to work with you on a cure for the marauders".
  • "[Persuade 45] You don't. You just have to trust me" or "[Intimidate 45] Why trick you when it'd be easier for me to kill you?"
  • "She said you were invited to tea?"
  • No other dialogue choices matter from here
• Step 11: Now that you've convinced Olivia to work together, head back to the Ambrose Manor to talk with them; the trophy Family Reunion will pop.

Should you have missed one of the trophies, here is a breakdown of requirements for each:

• The Postman — You must kill Minnie before picking up Olivia's Journal. Then side with Lucien and do the quest objectives for "Restore Power to the Adrena-Time Synthesizer" resulting in Olivia's death. Then head to Byzantium to finish the Main Quest and get the trophy.
• Greenlight Protocol — You must side with Minnie and do the quest objectives for "Restore Power to the Adrena-Time Synthesizer" resulting in Olivia's death. You'll get the trophy once you activate the reactor from the nearby console.
• NDA Protocol — You must side with Olivia and do the quest objectives for "Activate the NDA Protocol" resulting in Minnie's death. You'll get the trophy once you activate the protocol via a nearby terminal.
• Family Reunion — You must get Minnie and Olivia to compromise and work together. You will need 150 Persuade skill to accomplish this. Talk with Minnie first and follow dialogue options that use your Persuade skill (don't attack her). Now head to Olivia and do the same. You'll get the trophy once you have convinced both and talked to them at the Ambrose Manor.
