Can't get any trophies
Hi !

I don't think I'm in the right place for my question but I can't find anywhere else to submit my question:

Recently, it is impossible for me to get any trophies on the Games Dark Souls 2: Scholar Of The First Sin, I tried everything, offline mode / online, uninstall reinstall, but nothing seems to works, the trophies are completely blocked.
I used a "cheating" software (WeMod) to give me levels to test different builds, I obviously never played online to not to be considered as a cheater and ruin the players experience (and I don't like being invaded haha), but I don't know if this could have blocked me from getting trophies, does anyone already had this same problem or could help me?

Thank you in advance for your help !

You just gotta be online on steam to them to pop up.

Trophies won't pop up later, when you did the required action already some time ago when Steam was set to offline.
When I understand right, you never got an achievement ? Not even at the beginning?
In that case I think you can test it when starting a complet new game with a new char.
Uninstall all mods, then play normally with Steam in online mode. The first achievements you can earn very early, just by jumping off a cliff, also when you join the covenants in Majula.

I'll give it a try, I didn't get the Majula covenant trophy yet, so I can easily make a new character and try it, I hope it will work !

It worked !

I litterally deleted all my saves, then unninstalled the game, downloaded it again, launched the game while being online on Steam, and it worked !
I guess I'll have no other choice than being invaded from time to time haha

Thanks for your help !

The game be in offline mode and you'd still get achievements, as long as Steam is online. The game itself doesn't have a convenient "Offline Mode"-option, like later games do, so either add DS2's executable to your firewall to be blocked or disconnect your internet, launch the game and after the game told you it will start in offline mode, re-connect.

You can play the game without to get invaded, with steam online. A very easy method is to start the game in online mode, then disconnect your router, until the game tells you something like "Connection lost" and puts you in offline mode. Connect your router again, and steam will get back to online. But the game is still set to offline. And it stays in offline mode until you go to main menu, change your char, or restart the game.
There are also other methods, but this one is the easiest imo.
Personally I like to play online to see player messages and shadows, feels not so empty.

I recommending to hide by using silver talismans, if you creative enough, invader would spend at least 5-10 minutes. But dont stay at the same place, either move to the new position every 3 minutes or rush to the fogwall as soon as possible.

Summoning bot phantoms helps as well, most of them are really strong except Sellsword Luet, he has PvE meme tank build.

Just from using wemod and not being online, doesnt mean that you didnt cheat.
If you used it, you cheated and didnt beat the game.

I know, but it never bothered me on other game that I used WeMod on, only for Dark Souls 2, and if I want to use "cheat" on a solo game, I'm free to do what I want, that's why people create mod and other kind of stuff, as long as you don't bother other people experience, do what do you want !

Dark Souls isnt a solo game, it has multiplayer.

So ganking with 2 mates, seeds and Dried Fingers on invaders is what the game is build around and wants me to do? Got it. ;)

As long as you can deal with an invader killing both of you, i guess youre right.
