All you have to do to obtain this trophy is have 20,000 tech scrap banked when you defeat a boss. You can do these one of two ways. One way is to go into the fight with 20,000 tech scrap and go through the boss fight like that. Another way is to get the boss down to minimal health and go into your menu and go to inventory then consumables and start using your material scrap to gain enough tech scrap to get you to 20,000, then beat the boss.
The first step is to clear a short cut to one of the game's five bosses, so you can get there relatively effortlessly. If you're unsure of your skills, make a few practice runs against the boss to learn it's patterns, but refrain from killing it! Then, collect the required 20,000 Tech Scrap (preferably by killing, not popping piles from your inventory, so you don't run into trouble when trying to get "Nothing to Lose") and go kill the boss. It's a good idea to learn the route to the boss well, so you don't get lost should you die, so your precious Tech Scrap doesn't fade away.
Opinions will vary what boss is the easiest to do this against. Personally, I went for LU-74 Firebug. The mobs in this area drop decent amounts of Tech Scrap so farming 20,000 didn't take long, either.
(The third boss is in the second location.)
Or an even simpler way, in the event of the death of a character, press the PS button and quickly close the application, load the game and we again appear not far from the boss with all our spare parts.
