A sequel to the award-winning “Deliver Us The Moon”, “Deliver Us Mars” is an atmospheric sci-fi adventure offering an immersive astronaut experience. Explore new frontiers on a suspense-fuelled, high-stakes mission to recover the ARK colony ships stolen by the mysterious Outward. Ten years after the Fortuna mission, humanity is closer than ever to extinction. After a mysterious distress call from Mars, Earth’s youngest astronaut, Kathy Johanson, joins the Zephyr and its crew on one last mission: to recover the ARK colony ships stolen by the mysterious Outward, and with them, ensure the survival of the human race.
Stage 1 – Play the Story.
You are able to earn all trophies in one playthrough if you collect all the collectibles along the way, complete certain actions, and complete all time-limited related trophies for certain tasks. You can use the detailed YouTube videos from the Game Guides Channel further in the guide. Otherwise, play through the game as you wish and after completing the game you can replay any chapter to earn the associated trophies.
Stage 2 – Chapter Select for any other trophies.
Use Chapter Select to earn any outstanding trophies that you have left to earn. Remember that you can hold Circle to skip certain dialogue and cut scenes to save time if you like. The game will automatically save after obtaining any collectible, so you can go back to the main menu as needed to select a different chapter.
Perseverance pays off
Collected all trophies!
Congratulations on going to Mars and doing everything it had to offer!
Stellar extra-vehicular activities score
Detached the thruster and made it back within 3 minutes and 35 seconds after egressing the airlock.
During Chapter 2, after opening the front shutters on the spaceship, you will need to exit through the airlock and examine the problem with the thruster at the rear of the spaceship. This will be the same thruster you tried to repair earlier in the chapter. This time you will need to:
1. Look at the thruster, try to turn off the power, and cut out the section of the power line.
2. Remove the base sections of the plates to expose the bolts that you will need to cut away too.
3. Do not hit a power cell or it will cause an explosion.
Eventually, you will end up far away from the spaceship and you will need to go directly to the airlock and get back into the ship before your helmet breaks.
This must all be completed within 3 minutes and 35 seconds. The time starts when you open the airlock and continues until you close the airlock. If you do not earn this trophy, you can replay this from the Chapter Select.
See the video below.
Kats always land on their feet
Reached the elevator below in Herschel within 2 minutes after surveying the quarry.
During Chapter 4, you will overlook the mining quarry, and right after the scene ends, your timer will start where you will need to get to the base of the elevator area within 2 minutes. Your character is able to jump pretty far in the game. There is a limit to sprinting as Kat will lose stamina, so make sure to ease off on the sprint part while landing a jump to recover some. When in the wall climbing areas to quickly drop down, make sure to drop down increments so that she descends quickly. Also, if Kat dies during your attempt, you will need to restart the chapter, as you will lose too much time from a reloading of the checkpoint you were at. If done successfully you will earn this trophy, otherwise you can reload this chapter from the Chapter Select to play it again. See the video in “Stellar extra-vehicular activities score” trophy description.
Curiosity didn’t kill the Kat
Completed all eight story profiles.
There are 76 collectibles that you will need to obtain throughout the game. These include: 32 scannable objects, 16 holograms, 11 comics, and 17 AstroTalks (text messages). These collectibles are categorized into different story profiles throughout the game. When you have obtained all of the collectibles, you will have automatically completed all eight of the story profiles.
The eight-story profiles are shown below, with the number and names of the items included in each story profile.
The eight-story profiles are:
1. Saving a Planet (8).
2. About the Tech (8).
3. Family Matters (7).
4. On Running a Colony (17).
5. The People of Outward (9).
6. A Divergence (13).
7. The ARK Engines (3).
8. Comics (11).
As there is no in-game map, it is easiest to follow a video playlist on Deliver Us Mars showing all the collectibles in order through each chapter. All collectibles are timestamped for easy reference. Feel free to use the detailed videos on Game Guides Channel.
Quick like a Kat
Traversed the icy plains and enter Odum within 3 minutes and 15 seconds after surveying the base.
During Chapter 6, after driving the rover, you will park it and then approach the ridge overlooking the Odum base below. After this scene ends, the timer will start and you will have 3 minutes and 15 seconds to make it to the airlock entrance to the Odum building. You will need to sprint, jump, and use the axe picks to descend the ice and snow-covered area. Your character is able to jump pretty far in the game. There is a limit to sprinting as Kat will lose stamina so make sure to ease off on the sprint part while landing a jump to recover some. When in the icy wall climbing areas too quickly drop-down, make sure to drop down increments so that she descends quickly. Also, if Kat dies during your attempt, you will need to restart the chapter as you will lose too much time from reloading of the checkpoint you were at. If done successfully you will earn this trophy, otherwise you can replay this chapter in the Chapter Select to try again. See the video in “Stellar extra-vehicular activities score” trophy description.

When you find one, you will start the decrypting as ACE, and you will need to move in 3D (rotate, in/out, up and down) to align the 3 yellow-orangish keys so that they turn blue and disappear. Some holograms will have up to 3 times to solve these key puzzles per hologram in order to view its message. See the video collectible guide in “Curiosity didn’t kill the Kat” trophy description.

There are 5 NASA rovers that are hidden across the Marian surface.
They are:

3. Rover 3 in Chapter 8. Drive to the left of the area shown in the pictures below on your way to the ARK Habitas.
4. Rover 4 in Chapter 8. Head in the direction your parked vehicle is in after exiting the elevator. Drive straight and then up the hill to the right to find this rover in a small valley. This last rover is time sensitive so you will need to quickly move to find it before the screen fades and the chapter ends. Replay the Chapter if you miss it.
5. Rover 5 in chapter 9. Before arriving at VITA, follow the pathway around to the right so that VITA is directly behind you. It will be in a dead-end area.

The Gang
Someone has hidden a very important and personal memento inside his cell.
During Chapter 5, after opening the lab to find the medicine, you can use the 2 Beam Splitters on the floor below to open a closed door. There will be a Beam Receiver inside a blocked wall area and at the other end of the hallway will be a Beam Projector that you can release from the floor. You will need to have the Beam Projector out of the room to one Beam Splitter, down the hallway to hit the other Beam Splitter and finally hit the Beam Receiver inside the blocked wall area. This will open the door to the left of the receiving end. Go inside this room and crouch through the small opening in the wall to a hidden room and interact with the photo. See the pictures below.

Eventually, you will enter a room that has a power generator inside where there are blue sparks flying, platforms moving, walls to climb, and obstacles to avoid. You will need to time out your jumps and climbing so that you do not get hit by any of the blue sparks. See the video in “Stellar extra-vehicular activities score” trophy description.

When ACE met AYLA
Robots can love too.
During Chapter 7, Kat will hear a noise that she will follow while with Ryan and Sarah. Follow the linear pathway. You will eventually find ALYA to be locked inside of her owner’s living quarters. Look for an alternate route to enter. This will involve you using some blocks in the hallway to get up into a vent/pipe area where you can cut open a section of the flooring to allow ACE to go into the room below.
