Stage 1 – 1st Playthrough – All Collectibles and Miscellaneous Trophies


Welcome to the trophy guide for Schim from Extra Nice B.V. an interesting take on a platformer where the player must use shadows to jump into to make their way around the map. There are a total of 65 levels and it’s recommended to get used to the games mechanics and get all of the collectibles. Some trophies will come naturally as you play the game. Also while playing through the game it’s important to interact with each type of object for the “I Came, I Saw, I Interacted”. Types are described below in the trophy description.

Level 1 – Trophies “Honk!” and “Litterly In The Litter League” (good to get these out the way by spamming Square on bins and a vehicle).
Level 2- Trophies “Mischievous!” and “Thanks For The Playdate!”.
Level 5 – Trophies “You Never Know What You’re Going To Get” and “Animal Handler” (spam Square on a sheep).
Level 8 Trophy “O_O”
Level 42 – Trophy “Hole In One”.
Level 43 – “Station to Station” 1/3.
Level 44 – “Station to Station” 2/3.
Level 58 – “Station to Station” 3/3.
Levels 62-65 – “Untouchable”.

Stage 2 – “Floor is Lava” and “Risky Mode” Playthroughs


After completing the game once, it’s time to tackle the different modes for the final trophies. They can be done in 1 run, but this will make the game much harder, so it is advised to split the game into two runs, detailed below.

Playthrough 2 – “The Floor is Lava”
For this run, turn off “Extra jump”. On this run the player will not be able to jump into anything except the shadows. You have unlimited lives, so trial and error is possible here, and the player will eventually make it through the 65 levels.

Playthrough 3 – “Risky Mode” and “Challenge Accepted”
In ‘Risky Mode’ you will only have twenty lives, if you also have the extra jump turned off this makes this much much harder which is why it is advised to split these into two runs. You can cheese the game with extra jump, as if you realise you will not make it to the next shadow just quit to the main menu. It is also advised to make cloud saves every few levels, should you mess up badly.

“Challenge Accepted” requires you to complete every level without respawning. As ‘Risky Mode’ only gives you 20 lives, this essentially means that at maximum there will be 20 levels left to complete. The game doesn’t show it keeping track of this, so it’s best to make notes of any levels in which the player dies on while going through Risky Mode and go back and complete them without respawning.

Whoosh!
Slide a total 100 meters.

In the first level the game will introduce you to a mechanic where you interact with a sign by pressing square then the sign will catapult you further than a normal jump. As long as you don’t end up in another shadow you will slide after making contact with the floor. Can be grinded out in the first level.


Animal Handler
Interact with 50 animals.

Press square while in the shadow of any animal. Level 5 has a lot of sheep in a field where you can spam Square while in the shadow of just one of them to unlock.


Collector
Find and reunite all lost schim.

Schim are the eyes in the shadows, and also the character you play as. When you see another Schim it often means there is a collectible item to find nearby.

The chapter select menu shows where the collectibles are and how many have been picked up, should one be missed during the first playthrough, simply replay that chapter, and pick it up, the player can exit out after picking it up and it will save as soon as you pick up the colectible so no need to replay the whole level.

Visit 5000 shadows.

Will come naturally while doing the several playthroughs. Can be farmed if somehow short.


Hole In One
Land a hole-in-one at the golf course.

In Level 42, get the arrow so it’s roughly going straight forward and the power so that the arrow is showing it at max power. This will take a few tries as the shot needs to be very accurate.


Challenge Accepted
Finish each level without respawning.

This is best done with extra jump on and while not going for collectibles. Does not have to be done in one run, however there is no way to track this so it’s best to try and do this while going for the Trophy “Risky Mode” where the player has only 20 lives. Make notes of any level where you do respawn, then go back into chapter select and replay those levels.


The Floor is Lava
Finish the game with “Extra jump” off.

After completing the game for the first time, the player will unlock Extra Jump off. This means you will not be able to jump into anything but the shadows. Can be done at the same time as Risky Mode but this will make both trophies much harder and it is advised to go for them separately.


Risky Mode
Finish the game with “Risky mode” on.

After completing the game for the first time, the player will unlock Risky Mode. This means the player will have just 20 lives. Can be done at the same time as Extra jump off, but this will make both trophies much harder and it is advised to go for them separately. During this trophy you will complete most of the game without respawning which you will need to do for the Trophy “Challenge Accepted”. Make notes of any level you do respawn in and replay those chapters after completing the run. If you are about to die and have extra jump on you can exit to the main menu and try again. It is also advised to make back-up saves to save scum just in case.
