Astro Bot has become one of the best-received video games of the year and there are a lot of things to do that players find fun and engaging.

One of these is hunting trophies that each require you to complete specific tasks. The one we will be talking about in this article is the What A Trip trophy. This particular achievement is inspired by the Horizon Zero Dawn game.

How To Get the What A Trip Trophy

This particular trophy can be achieved after players successfully defeat seven different enemies using the Tripcaster weapon.

This is one of the many pieces of equipment that is available to Aloy in Astro Bot. To do this, you must first find the Aloy Bot and unlock the Horizon-themed Machine Learning level.

The latter will be unlocked after you defeat the boss found in the Feather Cluster. This is the last and arguably least impressive of Astro Bot's five clusters.

Other levels that are based on PlayStation intellectual property also appear and have their own secret trophies, according to Screen Rant.

Defeating Enemies With the Tripcaster

To actually defeat enemies using the Tripcaster and get a trophy, you should start the Machine Learning stage. Move forward until you see the first set of electrified Tripcaster wires. You will find a second set of electrified wires in the clearing with the Tallneck.

What you need to do is taunt some of the ground-bound enemies so that they follow you. You can then hop into or behind the square enclosure in the area.

This should let you lure the enemies into the wire to get you the trophy. If you fail, simply restart the level and try again, IGN said.

You should also avoid using your double jump when trying to get across the electrified wires in the Machine Learning stage. Doing so will destroy them and you will not be able to use those particular traps anymore.

While the setup of the Tripcaster wires lets you easily lure enemies into them, they will sometimes not get tricked.

They can also jump over the traps while trying to get to you. When this happens, you should circle around and try to get them to step through the traps again.

The Machine Learning stage has another spot that has several Tripcaster wires set up. The problem with this is that there are not enough enemies to complete the What A Trip Trophy, according to Kotaku.
