The three trophies above can be unlocked by completing function files. You need to use a limiter in a battle in each of the active, upgrade and passive slot. You need to complete this for all of the 16  functions.

Process()  — Inspect all completed Limiter Files.

In order to complete a Limiter, the player needs to use them once in battle by equipping them at an Access Point. The player needs to do this for all 10 limiters.

News()  — Use 10 different OVC Terminals.

Don’t ignore the Terminals, you will get them easily during your playthrough.

Function() — Unlock every Transistor Function.

There are 20 functions in total, and your last function is unlocked once you have reached User Level 13

Limiter() — Unlock every Process Limiter.

There are 10 Process Limiters you will unlock. You unlock the last one at User Level 15.

User()  — Unlock every Upgrade Slot and Passive Slot.

You unlock the last slot at User Level 20, so you will need to start New Game +.

Stack()  — Create a Function combination requiring 12 MEM.

Combine Void(), Cull(), Tap(), and Help() into a single function.

Memory()  — Unlock 32 MEM.

The user needs to get the last memory upgrade to boost to level 32 once you reach user level 16.

Align()  — Achieve User Level 8.

Focus()  — Achieve User Level 16.

One()  — Achieve User Level 24.

The above three trophies can be unlocked by reaching level 24. So you might need to begin new playthrough in New Game ++. Use limiters to gain XP.

Reisz()  — Confront Sybil at the Empty Set.

Spine()  — Confront the Spine at the Bracket Towers facade.

Kendrell()  — Confront Grant and Asher at Bracket Towers.
