Database & Collection
Six trophies for filling Aincrad's in-game encyclopedia — the World, Item, Equipment, Monster and Character databases. Every one is passive: the databases log entries automatically as you explore, loot, fight and meet people, so if you play thoroughly these fill themselves. This page is really just a checklist to make sure none lags behind.
How the databases fill
- Each database logs a different activity — places you visit, items you hold, gear you equip, monsters you kill and characters you meet.
- They overlap with everything else. Looting gear (Gear page), fighting bosses (Story page) and exploring floors all feed these counters simultaneously.
- Check the tracker late. Near the end, open each database and see which category is short, then go do a little of that activity to top it up.

Aincrad Professor
SilverFull guideCollapseWhat it asks
The bigger version of the above — collect a wide variety of World Database entries, covering much of Aincrad's geography and lore.
How to earn it
- Fully explore each floor you unlock — reach the out-of-the-way landmarks, not just the main path.
- This is the one database trophy worth checking mid-game: if it's lagging, take a lap of an under-explored floor to fill in the missing entries.
