Full 100% Trophy Roadmap

Phase 1: Single Master Playthrough (Main Run)

This is your only required playthrough. Everything must be done here.

Core Rules for Phase 1

  • Do not rush objectives

  • Explore every room thoroughly

  • Use the Blacklight constantly

  • Do NOT spend Mites early


⚠️ Hoard Your Mites (Critical Rule)

One of the most common Platinum failures is spending currency too early.

  • Save 27,000 Mites for the Coin Queen trophy

  • Avoid weapon stat upgrades until the trophy unlocks

  • Buying ammo and healing items is safe

Pro Tip: Track your total Mites in the inventory menu before visiting Armories.


Mandatory Collectibles (Missable)

There is no chapter select, so all collectibles must be obtained during this run.

Collectible                Quantity        Trophy
Decorative Eggs8Collector’s Item
Cameos6Curator’s Piece
Lore Documents22Archivist
Dinosaur Scans15Paleontologist

Always sweep rooms with Blacklight — many Cameos are invisible otherwise.


Phase 2: Cleanup After Credits (30–60 Minutes)

After completing the story, the game reloads you before the final mission.

Now you can safely:

  • Spend all saved Mites

  • Fully upgrade weapons

  • Grind remaining combat trophies

  • Craft missing items

No additional playthrough required.


Critical Missable Trophies (Checklist)

Missing any of these means restarting the entire game.
