What to know
- “No thanks” triggers only when Marco is interrupted mid-ramble, not after the dialogue finishes.
- The interaction takes place at the Mirror during Marco’s speaking sequence.
- It’s commonly treated as missable, so it’s best handled immediately when the encounter appears.
- The requirement is simple: interrupt Marco’s mumbling/rambling once, then let the trophy pop.
In Cairn, after reaching the Mirror and initiating Marco’s conversation, the entire trophy hinges on using the game’s interrupt/cut-off interaction while he’s still talking.

How to unlock No Thanks trophy in Cairn
Step 1
Reach the Mirror and approach Marco to start the conversation. Let his rambling begin so the game is clearly in an active dialogue moment.
Step 2
Use the manual interrupt action while Marco is still speaking. The goal is to cut him off mid-flow rather than backing away, skipping a cutscene, or waiting for the line to end naturally.
Step 3
Confirm the interruption worked by watching for Marco’s immediate reaction and the conversation shifting as if he’s been stopped. If he continues normally without reacting, repeat the interrupt the next time his dialogue resumes.
Step 4
Stay in the interaction until the trophy notification appears. If it doesn’t pop right away, avoid leaving the area immediately—some unlocks occur at the end of the short exchange after the interrupt has registered.
Tips to avoid missing the trigger
A clean interrupt is the only requirement, but small timing issues can cause repeated attempts.
- Interrupt early rather than late; cutting him off near the end of a sentence may not always feel like a “manual interrupt.”
- Don’t confuse “walking away” with “interrupting”; the trophy condition is tied to actively stopping the dialogue.
- If the Mirror encounter is revisited later and Marco isn’t present or doesn’t ramble again, it can remove the easy opportunity, so it’s safest to do it immediately.
Troubleshooting if the trophy doesn’t register
If the trophy fails to unlock after an interrupt attempt, it usually means the game didn’t register the action as a real cut-off.
- Try again the moment Marco starts a fresh line, then interrupt sooner.
- Make sure the prompt used is the actual interrupt (the same one that stops an NPC mid-sentence) rather than a generic back/cancel.
- If multiple dialogue lines trigger in a row, interrupt on the longer “rambling” portion, since that’s what most trophy lists describe.
