The new hit game Stray has gained fast popularity as a charming adventure for cat lovers that lets its players experience life from a feline perspective. There's nothing more catlike than scratching up everything in sight. It seems the developers of Stray would agree, as they have added a trophy into the game for that specific purpose.
Stray players who are looking to gain the "Territory" trophy will need to interact with a scratching spot in all 12 chapters. However, this is easier said than done, as there are some chapters that have only one scratching spot each. With that in mind, here are some scratching spot suggestions to help players get the "Territory" Trophy.
Chapter 1 - Inside the Wall
At the start of the game, when players are walking down the starting area with a group of other cats, there will be a tree along the way where players can get in their first scratch of the game.
Chapter 2 - Dead City
As the player's cat progresses through Chapter 2, they'll eventually knock over some cans of paint in order to break open a glass ceiling below. This opens up a room where players can find a rug that they can scratch.
Chapter 3 - The Flat
As soon as this chapter begins, players can find a rug to scratch on in the living room of the flat. The living room is straight ahead along the main path from where the cat first enters the flat, so this one is hard to miss.
Chapter 4 - The Slums
There are several scratching spots all around the Slums, so it's very likely that most players will find a few of them as they explore the area, particularly for those who look around for the sheet music to get the Meowlody trophy. One good option, though, is the rug just inside the garage door behind the Guardian.
Chapter 5 - Rooftops
At the start of this chapter, immediately after the cat rides a bucket down from near Momo's apartment to get onto the Rooftops, there is a rug that can be scratched on the player's left.
Chapter 6 - The Slums, Part 2
Players return to the Slums for this chapter, so every scratching spot they found before is available again. However, during this chapter, players will have to complete a quest to help a robot named Elliot fix a broken tracker, and scratching on Elliot's door to meet him counts toward the trophy.
Chapter 7 - Dead End
Dead End is a fast-paced chapter with only one scratch spot. Once the cat finally makes it to Doc's lab, head down to the bottom level and find the section of wall that can be scratched next to Doc's work desk.
Chapter 8 - The Sewers
During this chapter, in a section full of Zurks and large creepy eyes, B-12 has to hack two terminals to open up the door leading out. Just past this door, this chapter's only scratch spot is a piece of cardboard at the top of the stairs. This cardboard does blend in a bit with the surrounding garbage, so be sure not to run past it.
Chapter 9 - Antvillage
Chapter 9's Antvillage is another settlement area with plenty of scratching options. An easy one to find is a board that's leaning against a wall next to two robots sitting on a bunk bed. Players who keep an eye out for these robots as they enter the city should see them inside one of the open rooms.
Chapter 10 - Midtown
Once again, Midtown has more than enough scratching spots to find through normal gameplay around the neighborhood. A great option, though, is through a large open doorway to the right as the cat enters the town. There's a robot is sitting on a sofa reading a book, and this sofa is a scratch spot.
Chapter 11 - Jail
Thankfully, for these last two chapters of the game, scratching is actually necessary to progress through the story, so these spots can't be missed. Near the end of the Jail chapter, the cat will have to scratch the door of a truck to get Clementine's attention. This counts toward the trophy.
Chapter 12 - Control Room
Finally, during the course of the Control Room chapter, B-12 will hack open a panel, and the cat will have to scratch up some exposed wiring to open a door. For players who have managed to get scratch spots in all the other chapters across Stray, the Territory Trophy will be unlocked.
