Trophy Guide - Final Fantasy 1


Every trophy unlocks through normal gameplay. Follow the walkthrough, open every chest, and fight every enemy type. The only post-game grind is leveling to 50 and hunting Warmech for the bestiary. This guide was played on PlayStation 5 but trophies and achievements are the same across all platforms.

Bestiary Trophies

There are 128 enemies in the game and you can check your progress under Config > Bestiary. Most entries fill in as you play through the walkthrough but Warmech is the one most players struggle to find. It’s a rare spawn that only shows up on the bridge of the Flying Fortress 5F, the long corridor just before Tiamat. You might need to walk back and forth for a while before it appears.
