Early Game Hell is Us rewards patience more than rushing.

Hell Is Us Trophy Guide
Platinum
Trophy: Hero of Hadea
Obtain all Trophies
Type: Platinum
Unlock Details
Obtain all Trophies
Missable
Trophy: Accessorizing
Imbue a Defensive Gear item to Grade 4.
Type: Bronze
Category: Missable
Unlock Details
Upgrade any Defensive Gear item to Grade 4, which is the maximum level for defensive equipment. Use Victor the Blacksmith in Jova, Acasa Marshes to handle the upgrades once you have the required materials and have progressed far enough for the higher upgrade levels to become available.
Warning
This is missable for the same reason as the other upgrade trophies. Once Timeloops are closed, enemies stop respawning, which eventually makes your supply of Lymbic Shards finite. Prioritize your trophy-related upgrades before spending heavily on optional crafting.

Trophy: Antiquarian
Acquire all Relics.
Type: Gold
Category: Missable
Unlock Details
Collect all 29 Relics in a single playthrough. Relics are equippable items that grant either passive bonuses or active abilities, and they come from several different sources including story progression, Good Deeds, Timeloops, Mysteries, and Vaults of Forbidden Knowledge. This trophy is missable because several Relics are rewards for missable Good Deeds. If you fail one of those Good Deeds, you can permanently lose access to the Relic tied to it and lock yourself out of Antiquarian for that playthrough. The missable Relics are: Call of the Griffon from Land of Milk and Honey Knell of Ebbing Ecstasy from A Light in the Dark The Relentless Assault from Waylaid
Tip
Prioritize the missable Good Deeds as you progress, then use post-story cleanup for the remaining Relics from Timeloops, Mysteries, and Vaults.
Warning
Missing even one Relic means this trophy cannot be earned in that playthrough.

Trophy: Ever After
Ensure that all possible NPCs end up at Lake Cynon.
Type: Silver
Category: Missable
Unlock Details
Make sure every NPC who can move to Lake Cynon is present there during Act 2. Abbott Jaffer and Rebecca will relocate there automatically after the Pathem Abbey story events, but Halie Tellah and Maxie require specific Good Deeds to be completed at the right time. Halie Tellah is tied to Love Thy Neighbour, which must be completed during Act 1. Maxie is tied to Man’s Best Friend, which becomes available at the start of Act 2 and must be completed before going to Pathem Abbey and triggering Jaffer and Rebecca’s move to Lake Cynon. Once all required NPCs have moved, travel to Lake Cynon again and the trophy will unlock.
Warning
This is missable. If you fail Love Thy Neighbour in Act 1, or complete Man’s Best Friend too late, the required NPCs will not all appear at Lake Cynon.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWPx7L4gbbo&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=32
Trophy: Good Vibrations
Upgrade one of each Weapon type to Grade 5.
Type: Bronze
Category: Missable
Unlock Details
Upgrade one Sword, one Twin Axes, one Polearm, and one Greatsword to Grade 5, which is the maximum upgrade level. Weapon upgrades are handled by Victor the Blacksmith in Jova, Acasa Marshes. As you progress through the story, you will find books that expand how far he can upgrade your gear, so you will not be able to finish this immediately. The trophy is technically missable because closing Timeloops permanently stops enemies from respawning, which means your supply of Lymbic Shards eventually becomes finite. In practice, you should receive more than enough Shards during a normal playthrough, especially from the required late-game bosses, as long as you do not burn through them crafting large amounts of Lymbic Consumables.
Warning
Do not waste large amounts of Lymbic Shards on consumables before you have finished your Grade 5 weapon upgrades.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y3WqfqtTVI&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=16
Trophy: Lend an Ear
Converse with all NPCs.
Type: Bronze
Category: Missable
Unlock Details
Speak with all 21 conversational NPCs during a single playthrough. This appears to count the NPCs who open a full dialogue menu with progression topics on the left and optional conversation topics on the right. NPCs who only give a single line when interacted with do not appear to be required.
Warning
This trophy is missable because some required NPCs can die or disappear after certain story events. Make a habit of fully speaking with major NPCs when you first meet them before pushing the story forward.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydZ5rv7knPQ&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=28
Trophy: Man of the People
Accomplish all Good Deeds.
Type: Gold
Category: Missable
Unlock Details
Complete all 26 Good Deeds in a single playthrough. Good Deeds usually involve helping people around Hadea by finding items, delivering them, or completing specific requests. Several can be permanently missed as the story advances because certain characters may disappear or die, so this is one trophy worth keeping an eye on from the beginning. Finish the missable Good Deeds before their cutoff points, then clean up the remaining ones as you continue exploring.
Warning
Several Good Deeds have story-related cutoff points. Missing even one means you cannot earn this trophy during that playthrough.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwQJwzHjg3Q&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=5
Trophy: To the Teeth
Equip two Grade 5 Weapons and two Grade 4 Defensive Gear items at once.
Type: Silver
Category: Missable
Unlock Details
Upgrade at least two Weapons to Grade 5 and two Defensive Gear items to Grade 4, then equip all four upgraded items at the same time. Once your loadout has two max-grade weapons and two max-grade defensive pieces equipped together, the trophy should unlock.
Warning
This is missable because the required upgrades consume limited resources. Once Timeloops are closed, enemies stop respawning, so make sure you finish the necessary weapon and defensive gear upgrades before spending too many Lymbic Shards elsewhere.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx_m8etl_a0&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=18
Collectible
Trophy: Conspiracy Theorist
Perform research on all items related to the Conspiracy.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Find and research all 8 items related to The Conspiracy. Once every required item in this research set has been collected and researched, the trophy will unlock.
Tip
This also feeds into Well-Read, so you can treat these 8 items as part of the larger research collectible cleanup instead of tackling them as a completely separate task.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36IoYE0g-o8&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=21
Trophy: Curator
Acquire 10 Relics.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Collect any 10 Relics during the playthrough. You do not need a specific set for this trophy, so it should unlock naturally while you work toward the full Relic collection required for Antiquarian.
Tip
Don’t go out of your way to farm this one early. If you are going for the Platinum, you will need far more than 10 Relics anyway, so this should pop along the way.
Trophy: Demonologist
Perform research on all items related to Lymbic Invasions.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Find and research all 8 items related to the Lymbic Invasions. The trophy unlocks once every required item in this research category has been collected and fully researched.
Tip
These 8 items also contribute toward Well-Read, so it makes sense to treat them as part of the larger research-item cleanup instead of hunting them separately.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpXJVBv6S8c&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=23
Trophy: Emotional Damage
Acquire at least one Glyph from each Lymbic Sphere.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Collect at least one Glyph from each of the five Lymbic Spheres: Rage, Grief, Neutral, Terror, and Ecstasy. You only need five Glyphs total for this trophy, one representing each Sphere. Glyphs are weapon abilities earned from activities such as Good Deeds, Timeloops, Mysteries, Vaults of Forbidden Knowledge, and exploration.
Tip
You do not need a specific rarity or upgraded version. Any standard, Enhanced, or Elite Glyph counts as long as you have at least one from each Sphere.
Trophy: Emotional Warfare
Acquire all Glyphs of each Lymbic Sphere.
Type: Silver
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Collect at least one version of all 25 unique Glyphs in the game. Each of the five Lymbic Spheres has 5 unique Glyphs, and every Glyph also has normal, Enhanced, and Elite versions. You do not need all 75 versions for this trophy. One version of each unique Glyph is enough.
Tip
Use Victor’s Craft → Glyphs to check which unique Glyphs you are still missing. The list is much easier to track there because it groups them by Lymbic Sphere and shows the full set.
Warning
Some Glyphs are tied to missable Good Deeds, so do not leave all of this for post-game cleanup. Make sure you complete the missable Good Deeds as you progress.
Trophy: Gentleman Scholar
Perform research on all items related to the Order of the Eye.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Find and research all 8 items related to the Order of the Eye. Once every required research item in this category has been collected and fully researched, the trophy will unlock.
Tip
These 8 items also count toward Well-Read, so you can handle them as part of your overall research collectible cleanup instead of treating this as a separate task.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfX6SDMgkRA&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=22
Trophy: Historian
Perform research on all items related to Hadea.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Find and research all 7 items related to Ancient Hadea. The trophy unlocks once every required Hadea research item has been collected and fully researched.
Tip
This overlaps with the broader research cleanup for Well-Read, so if you are going for the Platinum, treat these 7 items as part of that larger collectible sweep rather than as a separate grind.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLwTUHvQp88&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=20
Trophy: Keymaster
Solve 25 puzzles that require the correct item.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Solve any 25 item-based puzzles. These include things like locked doors that need specific keys, Lymbic chests that require the correct rods, and other interactions where progression depends on having the right item in your inventory. You will complete far more than 25 of these while working through the rest of the trophy list, so this should unlock naturally without any dedicated farming.
Tip
Do not worry about tracking this one manually. If you are completing Mysteries, opening Vaults, and exploring thoroughly, the count should take care of itself.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dRkm-Ia2Mc&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=29
Trophy: Passion for Fashion
Acquire and wear all baseball caps.
Type: Silver
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Collect all 10 Baseball Caps, including the one you start with, then equip each cap at least once from the Loadout menu. That means you only need to find the remaining 9 during the game. The caps are spread across the world and some are found in areas unlocked through Mysteries, but none are missable, so you can clean them up after the story.
Tip
If the trophy does not unlock after cycling through all 10 caps, make sure the no hat cosmetic option is turned off while switching between them.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y7eLao2T60&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=33
Trophy: Super-Sleuth
Resolve all Mysteries.
Type: Silver
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Complete every Mystery in a single playthrough. Mysteries are puzzle-style activities found throughout the world and usually involve things like locked doors, chests, keys, passcodes, Lymbic Rods, or clues that lead to a solution. None of them are missable, so you can safely finish the story first and come back later to clean up anything you skipped. That makes this one much less stressful than the Good Deeds trophy.
Tip
If you are missing any at the end, check the Exploration → Mysteries menu and work through them by location. Since they can all be completed after the story, there is no need to panic-clean every puzzle the moment you see it.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCAjbkeY6_E
Trophy: Sworn to Secrecy
Perform research on all items related to the Vigil.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Find and research all 5 items related to The Vigil. Once every required Vigil research item has been collected and fully researched, the trophy will unlock.
Tip
These 5 items also count toward Well-Read, so you can handle them as part of your overall research-item cleanup rather than chasing them separately.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz9C6PY9sIc&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=24
Trophy: Tech-Savvy
Acquire all Drone Modules.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Collect at least one version of each of the 8 unique Drone Modules. There are 16 modules total because every module also has an Elite version, but you do not need both versions for the trophy. As long as you have one copy of each unique module type, Tech-Savvy will unlock. The 8 unique Drone Modules are: Death from Above, Distract, Entropic Field, Forward Charge, Rearguard, Shockwave, Surge Step, and Whirlwind. They are found throughout the world, usually on OMSIF soldiers or as rewards from Mysteries.
Tip
Check Inventory → Drone Items to see what you already have. None of the Drone Modules are missable, so you can safely clean up any missing ones after the story.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2E-CbHbZ60&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=26
Trophy: War Correspondent
Perform research on all items related to the Civil War.
Type: Bronze
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Find and research all 9 Civil War-related items. Once you have collected every required item and completed the research for each one, the trophy will unlock. Since this is tied to a specific set of research items, it is worth checking your collection as you explore so you know which entries are still missing.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3JRr00PKeU&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=19
Trophy: Well-Read
Perform research on all items.
Type: Gold
Category: Collectible
Unlock Details
Find and research all 45 Research Items in the game. After Tania joins you in the APC during Act 1, you can bring Research Items to her so she can identify them and add the information to your Research Log. The 45 items are split across six categories, and completing each category also unlocks its own Bronze trophy. Once all six sets are finished, Well-Read unlocks. None of the Research Items are missable, so you can safely clean up anything you skipped after finishing the story. Researching items also helps reveal solutions for the Vaults of Forbidden Knowledge, so collecting them does more than just feed the trophy list.
Tip
Use the six category trophies as built-in progress markers. If one of those Bronze trophies has not unlocked yet, you immediately know which research group still has something missing.

Combat
Trophy: All the Rage
Defeat all 3 Haze of Rage variants.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Defeat the Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III versions of the red Haze of Rage. You will encounter all three variants naturally as you progress, and the final area requires fights against each tier as part of the story, so this trophy cannot be missed. Keep moving forward and eventually the rage will work itself out.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r018sYTb_Bg&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=7
Trophy: Big Game Hunter
Defeat all 5 Hollow Walker variants.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Defeat each of the five Hollow Walker variants. These are the white, faceless enemies you encounter throughout the game. You cannot earn this immediately because the final variant does not begin appearing until you reach Vyssa Hills, the third area. Keep fighting the different Hollow Walkers as you progress and this should unlock once you have defeated all five types.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etB8Dkl3GSU&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=11
Trophy: Buzz Killer
Defeat all 3 Haze of Ecstasy variants.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Defeat the Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III versions of the yellow Haze of Ecstasy. You will encounter these variants naturally as you progress through the game, so there is no special setup required. Keep pushing through the story and this one should unlock along the way.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VgWoWndDrA&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=8
Trophy: Fear No Evil
Defeat all 3 Haze of Terror variants.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Defeat the Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III versions of the green Haze of Terror. These enemies appear naturally as you progress through the story, so there is no special farming or setup required. Keep moving forward and this trophy should unlock on its own.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0WS_LShcac&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=9
Trophy: Good Grief
Defeat all 3 Haze of Grief variants.
Type: Bronze
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Defeat the Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III versions of the blue Haze of Grief. You will encounter all three variants naturally as you progress through the story, so there is no special farming or detour required. Keep advancing and this one should pop along the way.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IObU2UWNAV8&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=10
Trophy: Legend of the Phol
Close all Timeloops and defeat all remaining entities.
Type: Gold
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Close all 14 Timeloops, then clear every remaining Hollow from every location in the same playthrough. To close a Timeloop, defeat its Timeloop Guardians and use the correct Amine Prism inside the Timeloop. Once a Timeloop is closed, enemies tied to that area stop respawning, so your next job is to sweep the area and kill anything still left alive. Keep checking the APC map as you work through each region. A location is fully finished when it shows Threats: Clear. There is no direct tracker for individual leftover enemies, so if an area still shows threats, you will need to search side paths, tunnels, caves, upper levels, and other easy-to-miss spots until the map finally gives you the all-clear.
Tip
Do the enemy cleanup after closing each Timeloop when possible. Since enemies no longer respawn afterward, it makes it much easier to tell what is actually left instead of repeatedly clearing the same packs.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Breh-M0ARXk&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=15
Trophy: Phol Guy
Defeat 40 Tier II Hazes.
Type: Silver
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Defeat a total of 40 Tier II Hazes. You will encounter plenty of Tier II Hazes as you progress, so this should come naturally without needing to farm them. Keep clearing Hazes whenever they appear and the total will build up over time.
Tip
Use the PS5 trophy tracker if you want to check how close you are to 40.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcsTDKOUG7E&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=13
Trophy: Rise and Phol
Defeat 40 Tier I Hazes.
Type: Silver
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Defeat a total of 40 Tier I Hazes. Hazes are the colored cloud-like enemies attached to Hollow Walkers, and you need to destroy the Haze before you can properly damage the Hollow it is linked to. You will run into far more than 40 during a normal playthrough, so there is no need to grind this early. Even if a Haze respawns because the attached Hollow was not defeated in time, killing that Haze again still counts toward the total.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofvkr_myM9c&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=12
Trophy: The Harder They Phol
Defeat 40 Tier III Hazes.
Type: Silver
Category: Combat
Unlock Details
Defeat a total of 40 Tier III Hazes. These are the toughest Haze variants, but you will encounter enough of them through normal progression that you should not need to grind specifically for the trophy. Just keep taking them down whenever they appear and the count will build naturally.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAuFHq5ac8E&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=14
Misc
Trophy: Amateur Detective
Resolve a Mystery.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Complete any Mystery for the first time. The trophy unlocks as soon as you successfully resolve one, so there is no specific Mystery you need to choose. If you are exploring thoroughly and following clues as you find them, this should come naturally.
Trophy: Good Samaritan
Accomplish a Good Deed.
Type: Bronze
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Complete any Good Deed for the first time. The trophy unlocks as soon as you finish one successfully, so you do not need to complete a specific one for this trophy.
Trophy: Vault Raider
Unseal a Vault of Forbidden Knowledge.
Type: Silver
Category: Misc
Unlock Details
Open any one of the six Vaults of Forbidden Knowledge. Each Vault is a hidden room sealed behind a symbol puzzle, and the solutions can be learned from Tania as you turn in Research Items. The solutions are fixed, though, so you can open a Vault as soon as you can reach it if you already know the correct symbol combination. For the earliest straightforward option, the Vault of the Copse in Senedra Forest is a good choice. From the APC, head west up the hill to the OMSIF camp and enter the cave behind the tent. Set the four dials to Terror symbol, Figure 8, Rage symbol, Circle with Spikes to open the Vault and unlock the trophy.
Tip
You will eventually want to open all six Vaults anyway because each contains valuable rewards, including Relics needed for Antiquarian. None of the Vaults are missable, so you can clean them up after the story if needed.

Story
Trophy: Emotional Baggage
Complete Act 2.
Type: Bronze
Category: Story
Unlock Details
This unlocks automatically when you complete Act 2. You’ll finish the act after placing the remaining three Keystones into the Lymbic Forge, which opens the path to the Eye of God. It is tied directly to story progression, so there is nothing special you need to do beyond continuing through the main story.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5iChth8Vgg&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=3
Trophy: End the Suffering
Close a Timeloop.
Type: Bronze
Category: Story
Unlock Details
This unlocks the first time you successfully close a Timeloop. Since closing one is required as part of normal story progression, you cannot miss the trophy. Just keep following the main objectives and your first completed Timeloop will take care of it.
Trophy: It’s Mine Now
Acquire a means of transportation.
Type: Silver
Category: Story
Unlock Details
Obtain the APC key and return to the APC in Senedra Forest. This unlocks the ability to travel to the second area and is required for normal story progression, so you cannot miss it.

Trophy: Long and (not so) Winding Road
Traverse the tunnel from the Lymbic Forge to the Eye of God.
Type: Bronze
Category: Story
Unlock Details
Travel through the tunnel beyond the Lymbic Forge at the start of Act 3. This is part of mandatory story progression, so you cannot miss it. Keep following the main path and the trophy will unlock once you complete the tunnel section.

Trophy: So It Begins
Complete Act 1.
Type: Bronze
Category: Story
Unlock Details
This unlocks automatically when you finish Act 1. To complete the act, place the Keystone of Grief into the Lymbic Forge at Lake Cynon. Since this is part of the main story, you cannot miss it, so just keep progressing and the trophy will take care of itself.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOYmt2UOsjo&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=2
Trophy: Well-Travelled
Visit all locations.
Type: Bronze
Category: Story
Unlock Details
Visit every location in the game. None of the locations are missable, and the story eventually takes you through all of them naturally. This should unlock at the start of Act 3 when you reach the Eye of God, so there is no separate exploration cleanup required for the trophy.
Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kwYtkQA9Wo&list=PL_1gpmPcSp0sjI8-FnDy5F3SaVeepPCBl&index=27
Roadmap
Early Game
Hell is Us rewards patience more than rushing. There is no traditional map, no objective marker, and very little hand-holding, so pay attention to dialogue, landmarks, cardinal directions, and the clues you pick up. Exploration is part of the puzzle here, so if the game seems lost, there is a decent chance it is quietly asking you to stop running in circles and actually read something.
For the Platinum, your biggest priority is the missable content. Several Good Deeds and required NPC conversations can become unavailable after specific story events. Complete these before their cutoff points rather than assuming you can return later. Most other trophies and collectibles can safely wait.
Start working on Good Deeds, Mysteries, Research Items, Glyphs, Relics, Drone Modules, and other collectibles whenever they naturally cross your path. You do not need to obsessively clear everything immediately, but handling content as you find it will make the eventual cleanup much easier.
Mid Game
As more of Hadea opens up, keep balancing story progression with exploration. Mysteries become a major part of the journey and often involve keys, passcodes, Lymbic Rods, locked doors, and clues found elsewhere in the world. None of the Mysteries are missable, so enjoy solving them naturally instead of turning every room into an emergency investigation.
Keep completing Good Deeds before advancing major story events, especially when you know one has a cutoff. This is also important for trophies such as Man of the People, Antiquarian, Lend an Ear, and Ever After. Missing the wrong conversation or side objective can affect more than one trophy, which is Hadea's charming way of rewarding your kindness with paperwork.
You should also continue upgrading your weapons and Defensive Gear as Victor gains access to higher upgrade levels. Avoid wasting large amounts of Lymbic Shards on unnecessary consumables. Once Timeloops are closed and enemies stop respawning, your available resources become finite, so save enough materials for the Grade 5 weapon and Grade 4 Defensive Gear trophies.
Late Game
Before committing to the final stages of the story, make sure your important missables are finished. Check that required Good Deeds have been completed, that you have spoken with the conversational NPCs who may disappear, and that the characters needed for Ever After have successfully moved to Lake Cynon.
Continue closing Timeloops as you work through the later areas. Once a Timeloop is closed, enemies connected to that area stop respawning. This is useful for Legend of the Phol because you can then clear the remaining Hollows and use the APC map to confirm that an area shows Threats: Clear.
Act 3 will eventually take you to the final story locations and complete the main campaign. Do not worry about having every non-missable collectible finished before this point. As long as the missable requirements are safely handled, you can finish the story without turning the last few hours into a frantic scavenger hunt.
Trophy Cleanup and Extra Tips
After completing Act 3, reload your save and continue exploring. You will return to the final story location with the rest of the world still accessible, allowing you to clean up Mysteries, Research Items, Drone Modules, Glyphs, Relics, Vaults of Forbidden Knowledge, baseball caps, Timeloops, enemies, and other unfinished trophies.
For collection trophies, use the game's menus whenever possible to identify what you are missing. Mysteries and Research Items can all be completed after the story, and most collectible-related trophies are designed to be cleaned up this way. Legend of the Phol may take a little more wandering because remaining enemies must be found manually, so keep checking the APC until every relevant location reads Threats: Clear.
On PS5, Man of the People and Antiquarian also have a trophy tracker quirk that can provide a backup if something was missed. Repeating the completion of a Good Deed or collecting a Relic after reloading an earlier manual save can increase the PS5 trophy tracker again. Treat this as an emergency parachute rather than the main plan. Completing everything properly in one playthrough is cleaner, much less fiddly, and saves you from fighting the Platinum more than the actual enemies.
