Good for Throwing and for Breaking is a Bronze trophy that unlocks once you’ve destroyed 200 barrels and pots across the game — it’s a cumulative milestone, so you don’t need a special weapon, just keep smashing every breakable you pass.
Despite a name that sounds like it points to some dedicated throwing item, this is one of the game’s plain cumulative destruction trophies in The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. You earn it by chipping away at a single running total — break enough barrels and pots over the course of normal play and it pops on its own. There’s no quest to start, no item to find, and nothing missable about it.
What the Good for Throwing and for Breaking trophy asks for
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Trophy type | Bronze |
| Score | 15 |
| Requirement | Destroy 200 barrels and pots |
| Type | Cumulative milestone |
The requirement players report is simple: destroy 200 barrels and pots. It’s tracked as a running total across the whole game, so there’s nothing to activate and no window you can miss — every pot you shatter in a town, every barrel you smash in a dungeon counts toward the same counter, and the trophy fires the moment that total hits 200. It’s grouped with the game’s miscellaneous combat milestones, the kind that usually fill up through regular play, though you may need to sweep a few areas late on if you’ve been careful with your surroundings.
Here’s how it’s classified, based on the single guide entry that documents it:
Break every barrel and pot the moment you see one — clear each room as you pass through it and you’ll almost never have to grind for the last few.
Why you don’t need a throwing weapon or bomb
The trophy’s wording is the trap here. “Good for Throwing and for Breaking” reads like it wants you to hurl a specific item or lob a bomb at something, and plenty of players go hunting for that special tool. The actual condition is generic: the achievement text just describes destroying barrels and pots, and no source verifies any required weapon, item, bomb, or quest object. Walk up and break them however you normally would — your standard attack is fine.
One more thing worth clearing up: whether barrels and pots respawn after you leave an area, and whether there’s a “best” farming spot for the final stretch, isn’t confirmed. Don’t count on a room refilling, and don’t go looking for a magic route — just keep breaking breakables everywhere you go and the total climbs on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need a special throwing weapon, bomb, or quest item for this trophy?
No. The wording suggests it, but the condition is just destroying barrels and pots, and no required tool, bomb, or quest item is verified. A normal attack works fine.
Is Good for Throwing and for Breaking missable?
It shouldn’t be. It’s a cumulative milestone with no quest to start and no time limit, so you can keep working toward the 200 total for the entire game.
Do barrels and pots count across different areas and ages?
Yes — it’s a single running tally, so everything you break in any town, dungeon, side area, or era feeds the same counter until it reaches 200.
Is this a Grow a Garden 2 trophy?
No. It belongs to The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. It has nothing to do with Grow a Garden 2, its Sheckles, pets, seed shop, or any redeem codes — if you’ve seen it framed that way, that was the wrong game.
