Hell is Us Missables Guide

Hell is Us has a number of missable interactions that need to be completed at certain times in the story in able to complete all trophies/achievements in a single playthrough. Missables occur when you progress the story, so you are able to obtain these missables as long as you complete the specified interactions before specified story points.

Trophies related to missable trophies are:

• Man of the People – Accomplish all Good Deeds
• Antiquarian – Acquire all Relics
• Lend an Ear – Converse with all NPCs
• Ever After – Ensure that all possible NPCs end up at Lake Cynon

The main missable interaction is Good Deeds, as a number of them need to be completed before specific story points. Missing some Good Deeds is also what results in Relics and an NPC at Lake Cynon being missed.

There are a handful of NPCs that can be missed for Lend an Ear, but for the missable guide all NPCs will be listed at the first point you should interact with them for ease of progression.

Good Deeds are numbered with the slot that they appear in the Exploration – Good Deeds menu. The menu lists them in generally the order they can be started as you progress through the story.

To get absolutely everything in a single playthrough, the easiest option is to follow our Collectible Walkthrough, which includes all missables so you won’t have to remember them. The missables guide below is for players who don’t want to follow a walkthrough.
