Cronos: The New Dawn has 137 Collectible Locations spread across the game, and all of these are required to obtain the following trophies:
- 5 Fallen Travelers – The Preserver
- 7 Weapons – The Boon of the Relics and The Praetorian
- 8 Essences – various miscellaneous trophies
- 10 Cats – The Catfinder
- 10 Comic Books – Unadulterated Joy
- 27 Travelogs – The Archivist
- 35 Valuables – 15 needed for The Contribution
, but all are recommended to accumulate Energy - 37 Cores – 36 needed for Forged in Fire , if you miss any you can get them again in New Game+
Travelogs look like little radar dishes with green lights on them, and these regularly appear along the story path and near upgrade stations, making them easy to locate. Cats can often be seen before you find them as they lead you towards their location, and you will hear them meowing to indicate their presence. Valuables are items that can be sold for Energy, while Cores are items that can be used to upgrade your Temporal Shell. Fallen Travelers are bodies that you can interact with to extract an Essence, which give you an upgrade but you can only hold 3 Essences at once so you will have to permanently remove currently held ones to get new ones.
Some collectibles are locked behind chained gates, which require the Bolt Cutters. These are acquired as part of the story, but it is recommended that you keep these on you at all times as chained gates are quite common. It is also recommended that you focus on upgrading your inventory space as a priority, as this will make collecting everything as you explore much easier.
