Hell is Us Trophy Guide & Roadmap

Obtain all Trophies

Complete Act 1

This trophy is awarded once you complete Act 1 of the story, which occurs when you place the Keystone of Grief in the Lymbic Forge, located in Lake Cynon.

Complete Act 2

This trophy is awarded once you complete Act 2 of the story, which occurs when you place the remaining three Keystones in the Lymbic Forge, opening the door to the Eye of God.

Complete Act 3

This trophy is awarded once you complete Act 3, which completes the main story of the game.

Accomplish a Good Deed

Accomplish all Good Deeds

This trophy is awarded for completing all 26 Good Deeds during a playthrough.

Good Deeds are interactions involving people in the game world, generally requiring finding and bringing someone an item, or doing something that they ask of you. A handful of these are MISSABLE and is the highest priority thing to keep track of. They become missable through story progression typically because the person involved dies or disappears if not completed, so they are easy to complete without missing as long as you are aware of the point they need to be completed by.

Close a Timeloop

This trophy is rewarded for completing any Timeloop for the first time.

See Legend of the Phol

Resolve a Mystery

Resolve all Mysteries

Mysteries are generally puzzles in the game world, and can be completed at any time as long as you have the required items and can access their location. Generally these involve chests or doors that need keys to access, or solving puzzles with passcodes you obtain or solve from other clues.

No Mysteries are missable, so you can complete them at any time you have access to the location and required items or information to solve them, and they can all be cleaned up after completing the story.

Defeat all 3 Haze of Rage variants

This trophy is awarded when you defeat a Tier I, II, and III version of a Haze of Rage (red).

You will fight all versions of all Hazes throughout the game and in the final area you must fight all three versions while defeating bosses required to complete the story, so you will earn each of these four trophies eventually as you progress.

Defeat all 3 Haze of Ecstasy variants

This trophy is awarded when you defeat a Tier I, II, and III version of a Haze of Ecstasy (yellow).

Defeat all 3 Haze of Terror variants

This trophy is awarded when you defeat a Tier I, II, and III version of a Haze of Terror (green).

Defeat all 3 Haze of Grief variants

This trophy is awarded when you defeat a Tier I, II, and III version of a Haze of Grief (blue).

Defeat all 5 Hollow Walker variants

Defeat 40 Hazes of tier 1

Hazes are the coloured cloud enemies that appear attached to Hollow Walkers, and must be dealt with before the Hollows can be damaged. You will encounter many more than the 40 required for each of these trophies throughout the game. Each time you defeat a Haze, even if it is respawned because you don’t defeat the attached Hollow in time counts toward this number.

You can see your progress toward each of these three trophies with the PS5 trophy tracking viewable on the trophy list.

Defeat 40 Hazes of tier 2

Defeat 40 Hazes of tier 3

Close all Timeloops and defeat all remaining entities

Timeloops are the source of the Hollow enemies appearing in the game. Most locations have at least one Timeloop, and to close them you need to defeat the Timeloop Guardians that appear in their associated location, before entering the Timeloop and using the correct Amine Prism to close it. Once the Timeloop in an area is closed enemies won’t respawn, then to earn this trophy you need to go through each location in the game and defeat every remaining Hollow enemy so that every location is completely clear of enemies, as conveyed by the Threats: Clear text that appears on a location in the APC map menu.

Upgrade one of each Weapon type to Grade 5

This trophy is awarded for upgrading one of each of the four Weapon types (Sword, Twin Axes, Polearm, Greatsword) to Grade 5, which is the highest upgrade level.

Weapons and Defensive Gear are upgraded at the Blacksmith Victor located in Acasa Marshes – Jova who becomes available in Act 1 of the story. Initially he can’t upgrade weapons to this level, but along the main story path you can find books to bring back to him that allow him to upgrade gear further.

This and the other two upgrade-related trophies are marked MISSABLE because once you clear Timeloops enemies no longer respawn, so at that point the Lymbic Shards you have are finite and you cannot obtain any more in your current playthrough. You receive so many over the course of the game though (including a huge number by defeating the four bosses in the Eye of God which is required to finish Act 3) that you can’t miss this trophies unless you were purposely wasting the Shards creating a large number of Lymbic Consumables, which you shouldn’t do as they aren’t that useful and you can find tons throughout the story.

Imbue a Defensive Gear to Grade 4

This trophy is awarded for upgrading any Defensive Gear item to Grade 4, which is the highest upgrade level.

Equip two Grade 5 Weapons and two Grade 4 Defensive Gear at once.

This trophy is awarded for upgrading at least two Weapons to Grade 5 and two Defensive Gear to Grade 4, then equipping all 4 items at once in your loadout.

Perform research on all items

Research Items are collectibles found throughout the game world, that can then be given to Tania in the APC to learn more information about them after she joins you in Act 1. They have six associated categories that each gives a trophy when you research them all, along with an article from Tania that pieces together the lore of the game. Researching items also gives the solutions to the Vault of Forbidden Knowledge doors, though you can open these if you already know the solution because it is provided by Tania.

Unseal a Vault of Forbidden Knowledge

There are 6 Vaults of Forbidden Knowledge spread throughout the game. Only 1 needs to be opened for this trophy, but each Vault also contains a Relic so they all need to be opened while you are collecting them for Antiquarian. You learn the solution for the door and a hint at the Vault location when turning in Research Items with Tania, but you can look up the solution and open the Vault at any time as long as you have access to the location where it is found.

Acquire all Drone Modules

Drone Modules are abilities you can slot 4 of at a time in your Drone and provide unique abilities that you can use during combat. There are 8 unique Drone Modules, each having an upgraded version for a total of 16 that can be found. They are typically found in the game world on the bodies of OMSIF soldiers, or obtained from mysteries. You only need to acquire one version of each of the 8 unique modules for this trophy.

Acquire at least one Glyph of each Lymbic Sphere

Glyphs are like Drone Modules and are slotted into weapons, giving access to unique abilities to be used in combat. These are given as rewards for completing Good Deeds and closing Timeloops, along with being found throughout the game in locations such as the Vaults of Forbidden Knowledge.

They are separated into the 5 separate Lymbic Spheres: Rage, Grief, Neutral, Terror, and Ecstasy. Acquiring one of each Sphere for a total of 5 unlocks this trophy.

Acquire all Glyphs of each Lymbic Sphere

Each Lymbic Sphere has 5 different Glyphs, each of which have a normal, Enhanced, and Elite version for a total of 75 Glyphs that can be found throughout the game. For this trophy you only need one version of each for a total of 25, regardless of what upgrade level it is.

Acquire 10 Relics

Acquire all Relics

This trophy is awarded for acquiring all 29 Relics in a playthrough.

Relics are equipment that allows you to use one relic that gives a passive buff, and one relic that gives an active ability similar to Drone Modules and Glyphs. There are a total of 29 throughout the game and are given as rewards for Good Deeds, closing Timeloops, or found in locations such as the Vaults of Forbidden Knowledge.

This is MISSABLE for the same reason Good Deeds are, as some of the missable Good Deeds award Relics for completion, so if you miss those Good Deeds you won’t be able to collect all 29 Relics.

Visit all locations

This trophy is awarded for visting all locations in the game. No locations are missable and you travel to all locations over the course of the story, so you will earn this at the start of Act 3 once you reach the Eye of God.

Converse with all NPCs

This trophy is awarded for conversing with all 21 conversational NPCs during one playthrough. This seems to require only the NPCs who move into a menu when you speak with them, where you can select the different progression related dialogues on the left, or the optional extra info dialogues on the right. NPCs spread throughout the game world who you interact with and they just say a line of dialogue do not seem to be required.

This is MISSABLE as some of the NPCs die or disappear after certain story events, so if you missed speaking to them earlier and progressed without the information they give then you can miss this trophy during a playthrough.

» Hell is Us Missables Guide

Solve 25 puzzles that require the right item

Traverse the tunnel from the Lymbic Forge to the Eye of God.

This trophy is awarded once you travel through the tunnel past the Lymbic Forge, at the start of Act 3.

Acquire a means of transportation

This trophy is awarded once you obtain the key and return to the APC in Sendra Forest, allowing you to travel to the second area.

Ensure that all possible NPCs end up at Lake Cynon

This trophy is awarded for having all possible NPCs end up in Lake Cynon after specific events in Act 2 of the story. This is missable as one of the NPCs is related to a missable Good Deed, so if you missed completing that Good Deed then the NPC won’t be in Lake Cynon.

Abbott Jaffer and Rebecca both come to Lake Cynon after the story events during Act 2 at Pathem Abbey, so the only other NPC who seems to count for this is Halie Tellah, who is related to Good Deed Love Thy Neighbour which must be completed during Act 1. If you are following the Missable Guide or Walkthrough then you will earn this trophy without issue.

The trophy is awarded the next time you travel to Lake Cynon after the NPCs appear, so if you aren’t ever going back to Lake Cynon after the first visit then you wouldn’t earn this until you travel there to place the remaining Keystones to complete Act 2.

Acquire and wear all baseball caps

There are 10 caps counting the starting one, which means you need to find the remaining 9. These are spread throughout the game world or found in areas available after solving Mysteries, so they can be obtained at any time and cleanup up after finishing the story. Once you have collected them all you need to equip each one at least once in the Loadout menu to receive the trophy.
