Most of Bioshock 2‘s Trophies and Achievements are easy enough to get your hands on by playing the game, but others are hidden until you get them or require a bit of leg work. That’s why we’re here to help you figure out what all the Trophies and Achievements in BioShock 2 are and how to get them.
Every Trophy and Achievement in Bioshock 2
There are a total of 54 Trophies and Achievements in Bioshock 2. 39, including the Platinum Trophy, can be earned from the base game; 7 can be earned from the Protector’s Trials DLC; and 8 can be earned from the Minerva’s Den DLC.
We’ve listed all of the Trophies and Achievements below along with an explanation for how to earn them. However, it should be noted that some are tied to story elements from the game and DLC, so be warned that there are spoilers ahead.
