Step 1 - Multiplayer
In Quick Play - Multiplayer, you can compete live against other players by either creating your own lobby or joining an existing game. To earn "E-stonia", you must complete a multiplayer event featuring Rally Estonia.
Additionally, there is a Clubs feature similar to the one in the Dirt Rally games, which you need to try out for "Driver's Alliance". To create or join a club, you must log in to an external website using your EA account linked to your PSN account, as joining a club directly in the game is not possible. However, once you are a member of a club, you can access club events within the game. The two remaining trophies of this step need to be done in Time Trial mode. There you can select any stage and car class to aim for your fastest time or compete against other players on the leaderboard.
You need to download and race against a ghost of another player, to attempt "Ghost Buster".
Trophies in this step:
Driver's Alliance
Compete in a Clubs event at any location.
Visit the Racenet website and log in with your EA account linked to your PSN account. Once logged in, go to the WRC section and select Clubs. Choose a club from the Official Clubs tab or another one you prefer, then select Join.
Start the game and from the main menu, navigate to Clubs to access club events. You will then see the club in the Clubs section and can participate in the current club event. Complete all stages of the event to unlock the trophy.
E-stonia
Complete a Quick Play Online event at Rally Estonia.
From the main menu, navigate to Quick Play > Multiplayer > Create Rally. Ensure that the session visibility is set to Public and select Create Session. Press to go to the Overview tab, then select Create Championship > Add Event. Choose your preferred car class, select Rally Estonia, and add at least one stage, with the shortest being route #11. Next, choose Confirm Event > Confirm Championship.
To start the championship, at least one other player must be in the lobby. You can invite a friend or wait for a random player to join. Once ready, select Start Championship and complete your rally to unlock the trophy. The trophy should unlock even if all other players quit before the rally ends.
NEW PB!
Beat a Personal Best time in Time Trial.
Can be combined with "Ghost Buster". From the main menu, go to Time Trial > Setup Time Trial and select a stage. The shortest available stage is route #9 of Rally Sweden. Choose a car class and car of your preference, and complete the stage to set a personal best time. Set a slow time to make it easier to beat your time in your next run as well as a ghost of another player.
Ghost Buster
Download and beat a Ghost in Time Trial.
After setting a slow time you'll get direct access to slower ghosts. In the Service Area before starting, go to Event Details > Leaderboards and jump to your rank. Press and choose Download Ghost to download that player's ghost. Start the run and aim to beat the ghost to unlock the trophy.
Step 2 - School & Builder
In this quick step we complete our first lesson in Rally School and build 5 cars. After that we can use one of those cars to complete a custom championship.
Trophies in this step:
Your first time?
Complete a lesson in the Rally School.
From the main menu, go to Rally School. You'll find a series of lessons designed to teach you the basics of rally driving. Complete any one of these lessons, regardless of the surface type, to unlock the trophy.
Vehicle Builder
Build your first Builder car.
Please refer to "Master Vehicle Builder".
Master Vehicle Builder
Build 5 cars in the Builder.
From the main menu, go to Builder mode and select any car class. Pick any parts and choose Confirm as you proceed until you reach the screen where you can save your build. After saving your fifth build, you will unlock the trophy.
Personalised Podium
Finish on the Podium of a Custom Championship, in a Builder car, with a custom livery.
First, build your own car as outlined above. Next, from the main menu, go to Customisation > Livery Editor, select the car class and then the car you built. Choose New Livery, make any desired modifications, and save the livery.
Then, from the main menu, navigate to Quick Play > Solo > Create Rally. If you wish, you can lower the AI difficulty level under Championship Settings. Go to Create Championship > Add Event and select the class of your custom-built car. Choose a rally of your preference and add at least one stage. Confirm Event > Confirm Championship > Start Championship and locate your car in the list. Press to select Change Livery, then choose the custom livery you created. Finally, select the car to start the rally.
Complete your custom championship, and if you finish in the top 3, you will unlock the trophy.
Step 3 - Championship Mode
Another quick step. All we need to in this mode is finishing on the podium at every event. The video below shows the fastest way to do so.
Trophies in this step:
Consistency is key
Finish on the podium at every event in a Championship Mode season.
From the main menu, go to Championship, select New and choose one of the 3 car classes. Opt for Junior WRC if you want to complete the trophy quickly, as it offers the shortest championship length.
After selecting a car, adjust the settings to speed up the process. Set the Championship Length to Condensed and the Event Length to Short. You can also lower the AI difficulty level if desired.
Start the championship, and if you finish in the top 3 of every rally, you will unlock the trophy.
Step 4 - Quick Race
In Quick Play Solo mode, you have the freedom to design your own rallies and championships, selecting any locations, stages, and car classes you prefer. The game includes numerous miscellaneous trophies that necessitate setting up specific combinations, frequently mirroring significant real-world events.
This mode also allows you to earn trophies, which are likely the two most challenging to obtain in the game.
Trophies in this step:
Snowgloeb
Win an event at Rally Sweden in the Citroen Xsara WRC.
From the main menu, go to Quick Play > Solo > Create Rally. Navigate to Create Championship > Add Event and select the World Rally Car 1997-2011 class, which includes the Citroën Xsara WRC. Choose Rally Sweden and add at least one stage, with route #9 being the shortest. Pick the Citroën Xsara WRC and win to unlock the trophy.
In the Headlights
Finish on the podium of an event at Rallye Monte-Carlo in a MINI Cooper S.
From the main menu, go to Quick Play > Solo > Create Rally. Create Championship > Add Event and select the H1 FWD class, which includes the Mini Cooper S. Choose Rallye Monte-Carlo and add at least one stage, with route #10 being the shortest option. Pick the Mini Cooper S and finish in the top 3.
El Matador
Win an event at Rally Iberia in the SUBARU Impreza 1995.
From the main menu, navigate to Quick Play > Solo > Create Rally. Go to Create Championship > Add Event and select the Group A class, which features the Subaru Impreza 1995. Choose Rally Iberia and add at least one stage, with the shortest stage being route #11. Pick the Subaru Impreza 1995 and win.
Regularity Renaissance
Win a Regularity Rally event in Rally Italia Sardegna in the Lancia Stratos.
Please refer to "Perfect Score", because we can combine both of these trophies.
Perfect Score
Complete a regularity rally stage with 0 penalty points.
From the main menu, navigate to Quick Play > Solo > Create Regularity Rally. Then go to Create Championship > Add Event and select the H3 RWD class, which includes the Lancia Stratos. Choose Rally Italia Sardegna and add at least one stage, with route #12 being the shortest option. Pick the Lancia Stratos and make sure you pass the checkpoints within -0.5 to +0.5 seconds of your target.
In Regularity Rally mode, the goal is not to drive as fast as possible but to maintain a specific average speed. You'll incur penalty points if you arrive too early (-0.51) or too late (+0.51) at each checkpoint. Your co-driver will provide feedback during the drive, advising whether to speed up or slow down to reach the next checkpoint at the correct time.
Don't be surprised if it takes a few attempts to master. The goal is not to drive quickly but to maintain a precise average speed.
To earn the trophy, complete a stage without accumulating any penalty points, which means staying within half a second of the required time at each checkpoint.
If you are struggling, please refer to the video for this section.
Algarve it a go!
Win a stage at Vodafone Rally de Portugal that you started with heavy engine damage.
This trophy is particularly challenging, not due to the difficulty of winning with heavy engine damage, but because it’s tough to achieve heavy engine damage without destroying the rest of your car.
Run several stages in succession where you intentionally damage your car. Between stages, repair all non-engine parts but leave the engine unrepaired. Over time, this will result in heavy engine damage while the rest of the car remains functional. Then, in the final stage, aim for the win.
From the main menu, go to Quick Play > Solo > Create Rally. Under Championship Settings, set the AI difficulty to 1 and enable hardcore damage. Go to Create Championship > Add Event and choose your preferred car class. Select Rally Portugal and add multiple short stages, such as route #11 to ensure a sufficient number of stages. You don't need to complete all of them.
Start the first stage and deliberately crash into trees, walls or other obstacles to damage your car. Be cautious not to go too fast, as a single collision could total your car. If this happens, restart the stage. Once you’ve inflicted some damage (look for the radiator light), finish the stage.
In the Service Area, go to Vehicle Setup > Repairs to check the engine damage. After the first stage, it might not be heavily damaged yet. Use your repair time to fix other parts of the car and proceed to the next stage.
Repeat this process until the engine shows heavy damage on the repair screen. On the following stage, you can then aim for the win.
For a visual guide, refer to the video of this section.
Step 5 - Moments
The Moments mode includes predefined challenges on specific stages with specific cars. Over time, more challenges are added, each with targets to earn bronze, silver, and gold medals. These targets might involve beating a specific time or achieving a certain rank against the AI while minimizing car damage.
To earn the Gold Rush trophy, we need to win the gold medal in 5 different moments. While some gold medal targets can be challenging, the continuous addition of new challenges means you should eventually find 5 that suit your abilities.
Trophies in this step:
Class Act
Complete at least one stage using a vehicle from the WRC, WRC2, and Junior WRC Vehicle Classes.
If you followed along so far you should have finished a stage with the WRC and Junior WRC class. Just pick a Moments challenge in a WRC 2 car and finish it to unlock this trophy.
Keepin it real
Complete 5 Moments.
Please refer to "Gold Rush".
Gold Rush
Achieve 5 Gold medals in Moments.
From the main menu, go to Moments. This mode presents predefined challenges featuring specific cars and stages. Some of them are exclusive to EA Play members, but there are plenty available to everyone.
To earn this trophy, you need to achieve the gold medal target in 5 different challenges. If you're having a hard time with a particular challenge, try a different one or try one of those shown in the video above.
Step 6 - Career Mode
The Career mode serves as the main storyline of the game. In this mode, you can manage your own team, including your garage, staff members and teammates. You also have the freedom to select which events to participate in throughout the season. Alongside the main championship featuring current WRC cars, there are numerous smaller side events with various other types of cars.
The ultimate goal in Career mode is to win the championship in the WRC class, which unlocks the World Rally Champion title. At the start of your career, you can choose to begin in the Junior WRC, WRC2, or WRC class. Opting to start in the WRC class allows you the chance to win the trophy in your very first season.
Trophies in this step:
Team Principal
Create your own team in Career Mode.
From the main menu, go to Career. At the start of your first career mode season, you'll need to create your own team. Follow the in-game instructions to set up your team. Once you've completed this setup, you will unlock the trophy.
Snow Specialist
Drive 100 Miles (160km) on Snow.
This trophy requires driving a total of 160 km on snowy terrain, which you might unlock naturally during your playthrough. If not, you can complete additional stages in Rally Sweden or Rally Scandinavia in any game mode to reach the required distance.
Miracle in the Mountains
Finish an event at Guanajuato Rally Mexico without any severe mechanical damage.
You might naturally unlock this trophy during your career mode playthrough. Simply complete the rally without taking excessive damage, and you should unlock the trophy.
Asphalt Artist

World Rally Champion!
Win a WRC Championship in Career mode.
To earn this trophy, you must win the championship in the highest WRC class during your career.
If you start in Junior WRC, you can move to WRC2 in your second season and then to WRC in your third season. If you start in WRC2, you can join the WRC in your second season.
Once you're in the WRC class, complete the season and win the championship by accumulating more points than your competitors in the standings.
Step 7 - Kilometer Grind
If you decided to get all trophies as quickly as possible, it's highly likely that you still have a lot of kilometers to drive. The video below shows you the fastest stage for every road surface in case you still need the distance trophy for a specific surface.
Trophies in this step:
Long Haul Hero
Drive 1000 Miles (1600km).
This trophy will likely be the last one you unlock, as covering 1600 km is significantly more than required for other trophies. To reach the required distance, continue completing stages in any game mode until you accumulate the total distance.
The video above shows you the best stage for every road surface.
