Earned a 5-star rating for all Cie’th Stone missions.
Obtaining this Achievement/Trophy sounds a lot more difficult than it actually is. It actually becomes much easier to complete after you have defeated Vercingetorix for Mission 64 - The Doomherald, which is the very last mission.
The reward you receive from completing the last Mission is called the 
Gold Watch. This powerful accessory increases the amount of time you have to defeat a set of enemies while achieving a 5-star ranking. It makes achieving a 5-star ranking much easier for almost all the Missions while some of the more challenging ones may require a few attempts.
Start by completing Mission 64, then equip the Gold Watch to one of your characters, and slowly work your way through each of the missions again. Don’t be afraid to restart the battle if things aren’t going smoothly.
Mastered the Commando role.
This Achievement/Trophy is obtained as soon as one of your characters has completely filled out their Crystarium for their Commando role. Just keep earning Crystogen Points (CP) (using the farming methods if required) until you have enough to activate all the available nodes.
Mastered the Ravager role.
This Achievement/Trophy is obtained as soon as one of your characters has completely filled out their Crystarium for their Ravager role. Just keep earning Crystogen Points (CP) (using the farming methods if required) until you have enough to activate all the available nodes.
Mastered the Sentinel role.
This Achievement/Trophy is obtained as soon as one of your characters has completely filled out their Crystarium for their Sentinel role. Just keep earning Crystogen Points (CP) (using the farming methods if required) until you have enough to activate all the available nodes.
Mastered the Saboteur role.
This Achievement/Trophy is obtained as soon as one of your characters has completely filled out their Crystarium for their Saboteur role. Just keep earning Crystogen Points (CP) (using the farming methods if required) until you have enough to activate all the available nodes.
Mastered the Synergist role.
This Achievement/Trophy is obtained as soon as one of your characters has completely filled out their Crystarium for their Synergist role. Just keep earning Crystogen Points (CP) (using the farming methods if required) until you have enough to activate all the available nodes.
Mastered the Medic role.
This Achievement/Trophy is obtained as soon as one of your characters has completely filled out their Crystarium for their Medic role. Just keep earning Crystogen Points (CP) (using the farming methods if required) until you have enough to activate all the available nodes.
Dealt 100,000+ damage with a single attack.
This Achievement/Trophy is obtained as soon as one of your characters lands an attack that deals 100,000 or more in a single hit. This is actually impossible to do until you have obtained a Genji Glove accessory which is a reward from the following missions:
- Mission 51 - Attacus, the Soulless (Attacus)
- Mission 62 - Indomitable Will (Raktavija)
- Mission 63 - Crushed by Doubt (Adamantortoise)
Without the Genji Glove, your characters are limited to doing a maximum of 99,999 damage. Additionally, this means that you will need to build up a large Chain Bonus and Stagger on an enemy and you’ll typically hit this amount of damage with a highly leveled Commando.
The easiest way to obtain this Achievement/Trophy is while you are defeating or farming Adamantoise enemies. Check out the Adamantoise Farming page in the Tips and Tricks section of the guide for more information on how to do this.
Felled a heavyweight of the lowerworlds wilds.
This Achievement/Trophy is earned when you defeat a Long Gui enemy. Check out the Long Gui guide in the Side Quests section for more information on how to do this.
Fully developed all characters.
This Achievement/Trophy is earned once you have unlocked all the nodes of all of your character’s Crystariums. This will require a very large amount of Crystogen Points (CP).
The easiest way to do this is to complete some farming while having a Growth Egg equipped. Check out the Early Growth Egg page for tips on how to obtain one as quickly as possible and then refer to the Farming section of the Tips and Tricks section for tips on stacking up CP.
Held every weapon and accessory.
This Achievement/Trophy is the most difficult to obtain in the game. As a result, there is an entire section of the guide devoted to explaining how to obtain it. Check out the Treasure Hunter Achievement/Trophy side quest page for the full guide.
Note that it is possible to miss important items during a regular play through of the story, so following a guide like this one can be helpful for making sure that you can successfully unlock this Achievement/Trophy when you reach the end-game content.
Discerned the full attributes of 100 enemies.
This Achievement/Trophy is unlocked after you have used 
Libra on a total of 100 enemies. Note that the description mentions “full attributes” which is typically shown after using Libra twice or after defeating enough of each of the enemies to unlock all the attribute components.
Earned a 5-star rating in the battle to determine the world’s fate.
Obtaining this Achievement/Trophy, similar to L’Cie Paragon, is much easier to complete after you have defeated Vercingetorix for Mission 64 - The Doomherald, which is the very last mission.
The reward you receive from completing the last Mission is called the Gold Watch. This powerful accessory increases the amount of time you have to defeat a set of enemies while achieving a 5-star ranking. It makes achieving a 5-star ranking much easier for almost all the Missions while some of the more challenging ones may require a few attempts.
Start by completing Mission 64, then equip the Gold Watch to one of your characters, and then head back to Orphan’s Cradle to challenge Orphan to another battle. You can actually fight the final bosses in this game that appear at the end of Chapter 13 as many times as you would like, so if you’re unsuccessful, just give it another go!
