Stage 1 – Play through the Story + Simulations.
During your first play through you will learn the layout of the game. There are 2 trophies related to important choices in the game so make sure that you choose the opposites in your next play through. You should collect as many resources as you can and whatever collectibles you find along the way. Make sure to keep track of these as you play, you can use the table under Stage 2 to find a pre-made tracker if you do not have one. Upgrade at the Terminals throughout the game as they can provide free resources to unlock and craft needed upgrades to your arsenal of items. At the end of this playthrough, you will be awarded various items and skills, along with a New Game+ (NG+). You can go back to the Main Menu and play any unlocked Simulations. There are 32 in total, however they are not all accessible until you have finished the story at least once. You will need to get a minimum of “S” rank on all the ranked Simulations and the others you will need to complete.
Stage 2 – Focus on all Collectibles.
There is no Chapter Select in the game, however you can quit the game and upload your game save to PS+ Cloud. Remember to turn off automatic uploads of your game save data so that you can upload/download as you need. For your second play through you will need to start a NG+ and replay the story with a focus on finding all of the collectibles. You will need to go into all parts of an area and when you are within 10 m of a Collectible, you will see an icon in the top right area, like an ID card or a record for an audio file to collect. Your two scan functions will not pick up on the location of the collectibles. However, you will hear a bing sound and the item will have a blinking green light.
Stage 3 – Speedrun the Game.
For this play through you will focus on avoiding enemies as much as possible and navigating through an area as quickly as possible. Destroy the bare minimum number of enemies and be as stealthy as you can. You do not need to clear areas and can exit areas as long as you are not under attack. You can press the Touchpad to skip most cut scenes to save time. You can do a Tactical Scan by pressing L1 to see where any resources are located if you are in need of any. In particular the Batteries will show up as triangular prisms and show how far away they are. You will need to get an overall rank of “S” for your entire play through otherwise you will need to play the game again to decrease your time. See the videos below for more information.
Survivor
Unlock all trophies.
Congratulations on being at least an “S” rank survivor in like, everything!
Audiophile
Found all audio logs.
There are 46 Audio Logs to find in the game. One in particular is only available based on a choice (Rika’s Log 7) that you made in the game so you will need to collect the other choice based Audio Log in another play through. Another is only available after doing the Speedrun of the game (Rika’s Log 10) where you need to get a minimum of “S” rank overall.
Déjà Vu All Over Again
Found all of the Doctor’s diaries
There are Audio Logs specifically about RED throughout the game. When you have collected all of them you will earn this trophy. See Stage 2 for the location of collectibles.
Shutdown()
Defeated the final boss
When you are on the final chapter called Defeat MORE, you should make a PS+ Cloud save so you can reload if needed. You will follow the directions to get to the area where the final battle will occur. All other enemies will be gone so it is just a process of navigating to the location. After you move down a long corridor, you will have to defeat the multiple arms of the tree monster by targeting and destroying them.
The second part of the battle will be where you are in a room where all the bodies are inside the cryostats pods. Depending on the number of humans you have remaining, this will either increase or decrease the number of rounds that you will need to do in this part of the battle.
You will need to destroy the cryostats pods, then when the scene changes, hunt down the dark monster ghosts and shoot them a few times. There will be multiple dark monster ghosts so be on the look out for them. Some will turn a white bluish colour when they are hacking your suit and you will need to kill these ones as soon as you can otherwise they will deplete your health. They will then attack you if you have survived the hack. Then in the middle of the room there will be a yellow glowing ball that you will need to shoot. Once you have killed enough dark monster ghosts the scene you will need to follow the dark strings that are coming out of your suit to find the next set of cryostats pods that you can destroy. You will have a limited amount of time as your percent hacked will continue to increase until you destroy enough cryostats pods to change the scene to be able to see the dark monster ghosts again. Kill as many dark monster ghosts as you can and then shoot the yellow glowing ball that is now a part of a tall figure in the middle of the room.
This cycle will continue of going between the two scenes until you eventually have destroyed enough cryostats pods and killed enough dark monster ghosts, and destroyed enough of the yellow glowing balls so that the last step is to press the button on the console panel in the middle of the room.
printf(“Hello world”);
Reached the outside world
When you reach an ending to the game and decided what to do with the cryostats pods, there will be a cutscene, the credits to the game, and then another cutscene where you will leave the building to reach the outside world.
Hack Master
Unlock all skills.
As you play through the story you will gain new skills as the story unfolds. One of the skills will only be available by beating the game with an overall “S” ranking while others will be earned with at least an “A” or “B” overall ranking for completing the game.
Broke the Simulation
Complete all simulations with an S rank.
There are 32 Simulations that you will need to complete. Some of the Simulations are locked and will only become available as you complete their prerequisite. Some of these are focused on limited types of equipment, time limit, kill all enemies, make it from start to finish, etc. There are Simulations that do not have a rating for completing them as these are just a check for completion. You will need to earn at least an “S” rank in every one of the ranked Simulations for this trophy. See the pictures below for more information.
Zero Bug
Found all collectibles
There are 189 collectibles (Articles, Audio Files, Photos, Emails, Cards, Models, Genie Action Figures) to find and collect in the game. During your first play through you will probably find a large amount of them as you explore through the levels of each part of the game. The collectibles will have a red/green light flashing when you are close to them. The more you explore, the more you will find, however during any subsequent playthroughs after completing the game once, you will have unlocked the ability to have an icon appear in the top right corner of your screen when you are close to a Collectible. There is also an auditory cue along with the flashing red/green light when close to the item. Collectibles are unfortunately not revealed with your Scan ability. See the chart in Stage 2 that contains all Collectibles in a general order that they can be found in the game.
