There is something so satisfying about rolling a basketball into a basket. "Boom Chat Kalaka" is a fun and easy trophy to earn early on in Stray.

This trophy is found in "The Slums" before venturing into the sewers, and it is very easy to spot. Stray players will see what looks like an obvious opportunity for a trophy, as a basketball will be resting on top of a set of stairs perfectly in line with the opening of a trash bucket on the bottom of the set of stairs. In order to get to this location, first find the Guardian located in front of a sanctuary. This location acts as the main hub of The Slums, so it should not be too difficult to locate.

When facing the Guardian, turn to the right, and players will see the basketball. Players will want to slowly walk straight within the center of the stone towards the basketball and just lightly push it forward. Players who are also cat owners will finally feel the satisfaction a cat might feel when pushing an object over a type of edge. The basketball should roll straight down and land in the bucket waiting below. The trophy should pop up immediately after. Easy peasy catnip squeezy! If players do not get this the first time, fear not, as the basketball will reset at the top of the stairs if the game is turned off and loaded back in.

Stray has a collection of 25 trophies, some difficult to achieve, but most range within the cute variety. While story trophies will populate a fair amount, a majority of the trophies are quite easy to earn. There are several trophies that are easily stumbled upon by just playing as a cat itself, like meowing 100 times. Exploration is key to earning a lot of the trophies, so make sure to think like a cat and be curious. That being said, the phrase 'curiosity killed the cat' is quite necessary in this game for achievement hunters, as dying nine times will earn players another trophy, "No More Lives." At least the developers were kind enough to make dying pleasant by having the cat purr through the controller during the death screen.

However, there are a few trophies that will require a bit more finesse and patience to achieve, which is still welcome in such a wonderful and cute game.

Stray is available now on PS4, PS5, and PC.
