How to Get The Headless Rider Unmasked Trophy in Death Stranding 2

The Riddle of the Headless Rider is an optional objective and trophy in Death Stranding 2, so if players want to stop Porters from getting attacked on the night road across Australia, or if they simply want to claim a bronze achievement for their collection, then they are going to need to know everything about The Headless Riders Unmasked.

The guide below will showcase how players can get The Headless Riders Unmasked trophy in Death Stranding 2, starting with where to get it and how to complete it so that Sam has another success story to tell when it comes to connecting Australia to the Chiral Network.

Where to Find The Ghost Hunter

How to Connect the Ghost Hunter to the Chiral Network

In order to acquire the necessary mission to get the Headless Rider Unmasked trophy, players must first have connected with the Ghost Hunter. The Ghost Hunter is an optional prepper that can be found in Australia, and he can be connected once players connect the Chronobiologist to the Chiral Network with Main Order 31. At the Chronobiologist’s terminal, pick up Sub Order 109 to deliver a parcel to the Ghost Hunter.

However, the Ghost Hunter will not join the Chiral Network once his cargo is delivered; instead, an optional mission opens at his terminal: Sub Order 110. Players must complete Sub Order 110 to connect the Ghost Hunter to the Chiral Network, but this is a two-birds, one-stone situation, as players need Sub Order 110 to solve the riddle of the Headless Riders for the Headless Riders Unmasked trophy.

Now that players have Sub Order 110, travel to the east to find a road that has already been built, scattered with destroyed Tri-Cruisers. In order to summon the headless riders, players must access this road at night in a Tri-Cruiser. Players can advance time by holding Square to rest, then sleep, so that they can enter the area in the evening. However, players should bring blood bags and machine guns before proceeding, as this will trigger a combat encounter.

Once players arrive at the road at night in a Tri-Cruiser, approach the paving road station, which will then begin to glow red. This will trigger a cutscene that sees Sam’s Tri-Cruiser float upwards onto a floating road, where Sam must now fight self-driving Ghost Mech bikes on a looping track. The objective here is to destroy the Ghost Mech bikes, which can be achieved by ramming into them and by holding R1 in the direction of the bikes to shoot while driving. There are quite a few bikes to destroy, so keep weaving and shooting until they’ve all been destroyed to land safely on the ground, which will earn players The Headless Riders Unmasked trophy. All that’s left after this is to turn in the order with the Ghost Hunter, which allows players to connect him to the Chiral Network.
