)Introduction
Welcome to the Concrete Genie Trophy Guide! In Concrete Genie you play as Ash, a young boy with the passion of doodling in his sketchbook. A group of bullies steals his book and rips out the pages, forcing Ash to go on a quest to retrieve them all. While doing so, he discovers a magic paintbrush with the power of cleansing the corrupted city of Denska from the Darkness that has overrun it.
As for trophies, we’re looking at a pretty straightforward and easy list. None of the trophies are tied to the difficulty modes and none of them are missable! Most trophies, except for the story-related ones, are locked behind collectibles, either requiring you to find certain collectible types or to collect specific pages in order to unlock a new Design, Feature, or Genie, which will then be used to unlock the trophy that needs said page. Refer to the Collectible Guide, in which you’ll find all collectibles listed by chapter. The game only has three miscellaneous trophies, requiring you to enter Photo Mode, find Luna’s secret under the Lighthouse and play the Free Paint levels. Overall, it’s a very enjoyable run.
Step 1: Play through the Story and collect whatever you stumble across except for Genie Moments Sketches
For your first step, your goal is to play through the story. As you play through the story, you will unlock some story-related Collectibles, and genie-related trophies. As for Collectibles found in the wild, some of them are necessary to proceed, others can be ignored and picked up during Step 2. Having said that, you can also play the game with the Collectibles Guide open if you so prefer and get all Collectibles during this step. Just make sure to not collect any Genie Moments Sketches during this step if you want to avoid some extra grind later (refer to Collectibles Guide for more information on this).
Step 2: Clean up all Collectibles and Genie-related trophies
Now your objective is to finish collecting whatever you’ve got left. Refer to the Collectibles Guide to find out what you’re missing. As you go for missing Collectibles, you’ll also want to unlock those genie-related trophies you don’t have yet. Some of them will be naturally unlocked as you complete Genie Moment Sketches, others will require you to take other specific actions.
Step 3: Miscellaneous trophies
Now focus your attention on any remaining trophies. You may still have to unearth Luna’s secret under the Lighthouse, use the Replay feature in Photo Mode, play the Free Paint levels and paint a set number of designs.

VR Trophies (DLC)
The VR mode is not needed for platinum, but it’s required for 100% completion. To play this mode you need to have PSVR and 2 Move Controllers connected. Then you can select “VR Experience” from the game’s main menu. This is a mode of its own and entirely different from the story. All you do here is paint on some walls in VR. There are 3 worlds that you’ll have to reach by painting more. The goal is to make all the lights at the ceiling light up in the first two areas (cave). Just paint something close to the lights so the bulbs turn on. When all light bulbs are on, you get a new pattern to paint and must turn the lights on again. After the cave, you’ll reach the last world “Crystal Meadows” which is a green meadow with lots of grass and trees. Beat this too by painting what’s shown in the book in your left hand. Then you get a golden key and unlock chapter select which you need for one of the trophies. The entire VR mode takes around 30 minutes to 100%.
 |
Helloooo! Wave at Splotch. |
 |
| When you reach the third area “The Crystal Meadows” (green outdoors area). There will be a small red Genie running around in front of you. Wave both hands at him with the Move Controllers. He’ll wave back and give you the trophy. | ||
 |
Musical Genius Paint Wind on 6 or more Pipe Organ Plants in one stroke. |
|
| This is done in the third area “The Crystal Meadows” (green outdoors area). As you fulfill the painting requests in this area (displayed in the book in your left hand), you’ll unlock more patterns to draw. You must fulfill all painting requests and unlock all patterns to beat the VR story anyway. The Pipe Organ Plants and Wind pattern are unlocked automatically in this area. See the trophy image for what the pipe organs look like. It’s among the very last patterns you unlock. Draw lots of Pipe Organs next to each other. Then choose the wind pattern (also an automatic unlock in this area) and hold the T-Button (Trigger) on the right move controller to draw wind over 6 Pipe Organ Plants in one brush. The Pipe Organs will make a sound and you also see a music-icon on the screen. When you hit 6 Pipe Organs with one drawing of wind, you get the trophy. | ||
 |
Crystal Artist Paint Crystals in The Crystal Meadow. |
|
| After beating the third area “The Crystal Meadows” (green outdoors area), you will receive a golden key. This is actually the end of the VR DLC. The golden key allows you to replay chapters. You must replay “The Crystal Meadows”. Now you have a new pattern in your book, the “Crystal”. Paint one of these Crystals, it makes it so your drawings change their color. The Crystal will have a little purple orb on top of it that comes flying to you and infuses your brush with new colors. After you caught this purple orb the trophy unlocks. | ||
Do all trophies required use VR? I don’t like VR because I prefer Dual shock 4 and other normal controllers (not into VR or motion or mobile or PC controllers). I own Sony PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Cheers.
Main game doesn’t require VR, only the 3 DLC trophies (not needed for platinum).
So the peekaboo trophy is missable?
Peekaboo didn’t pop for me either, but I still have to do collectible cleanup and do a lot of the genie moment paintings so maybe I’ll get that random pop described here. I just hope I don’t have to replay the game for it. Even though it’s a short game that trophy’s in the final part, so not even sure I’d bother right away :/
Doesn’t affect the platinum but extremely disappointed that Concrete Genie has put a VR only trophy DLC set in a game where VR isn’t mandatory and the base trophy list is entirely non-VR …effectively stopping people without VR getting 100% #concretegenie @PlayStation
Peekaboo! Didn’t pop for me automatically is there any other places that I could do it? I’m post game now
The guide does say that peekaboo! is not missable but I am currently at 98% waiting just for this trophy and it never pops up. Is there a possible way I can get it?
It appears to be glitched for some players.
Then what do you suggest? New playthrough?
The best bet right now is to reinstall the game (completely uninstall it, then reinstall), back up your save games beforehand (PS4 Settings > Application Saved Data Management). Delete all Concrete Genie saves before starting on reinstalled game. Then replay from scratch. Reinstalling often fixes trophy glitches.
According to the comments here, already 3 people reported issues and the game only came out hours ago. Seems to be a fairly widespread issue.
User “Linkinito” here in the comments mentioned that trophy popped randomly after story for no apparent reason.
Nothing works for me… I restarted the game twice, reinstall the game and no trophy popped.
If there a specific action to do ?
That’s where I’m at with the singing one. I’ve tried EVERYTHING but none of them ever sing. I have every other trophy.
Peekaboo popped at the spot with the two crates. Had several unsuccesful tries at the spot with the billboard.
Karaoke Night! popped at the first area of Denska with the yellow cart and call up your Genie to the wall opposite the spotlights in the middle. Worked as described. After teh “Oh, you wanna play?” dialogue switch on the spotlight and the genie starts singing.
I’m pretty sure that Peekaboo! is glitched. The scare part in the waterways didn’t pop the trophy for me, however I got it randomly while searching for the Genie moments after completing the game.
Also you can draw a tree and a genie will “hide” in it, prompting Ash to say something related to Peekaboo, but after trying a lot of stuff, you can’t make the trophy pop (letting him go, tickling him, saluting him…)
What kinda tree did you paint?
I can’t get the genie to sing. Is there a specific method for it?
Been trying for days. This is ridiculous.
I had someone message me with possible alternatives for “Peekaboo” & “Karaoke Night!”. If someone wants to try, let me know if this works please:
Peekaboo: also doable next to the billboard in the sewers. You need to call the genie there, and once it wants to play, you hide behind the pillar.
Karoke Singer: in the first area, next to the cart puzzle. You need to call the genie to the wall, and turn on the spotlight that is there, in the middle. Then it unlocks.
Worked for Karaoke Night.
Thanks for confirming 🙂
Can confirm that peekaboo! Also worked
Peekaboo method works! I messed around in that area by just calling the ghosts and by just walking around it popped. The billboard gives them the space to hide behind so I’m glad this can be unlocked outside the story.
I can’t get “In the Zone” to unlock. I’ve stood at several different walls in paint mode for well over 3 minutes while both painting and just standing still and it will not unlock. What could I possibly be doing wrong?
Same for me
So I logged in to my game again today and went to the hydroelectric area and picked a wall with no paint on it. I stood there and painted shapes (At least one shape from each landscape type) and just kept painting and around the 3:30 mark on my timer the trophy finally popped! I did not leave the game idle after painting I just kept changing shapes and painting slowly on the same wall. Hopefully something in there helps you get it too man. Hate when trophies glitch.
I can’t get the Genie Moment Sketch #10 (Lightning striking totems). I don’t have the symbols of totem nor moon, i just have a strange blue mist..
It’s the only thing left for the plat.
Just got it. Might add to the guide that rain is needed (at least it was for me)
For which trophy exactly?
Check the collectibles guide. If you miss a design, it’s because you haven’t collected it.
Thanks Sven!
I spent over an hour last night trying to get that Genie Moment Sketch. Now have the Platinum.
I have a horrible glitch where I cannot pick up a sketchbook page in the crane. It’s the last collectible I need.
I have the exact same issue, it’s been bugged for days now. Really don’t want to replay the whole game and collect everything again either. Really sucks
Another glitch, I can’t finish Luna’s requests. Did her paintings up to the green one outside, then completed the story. Now, in the aftergame, Luna stands in the same spot, but won’t give me her request anymore.
Tried everything, from restart, reloading and switching zones. Nothing helped. Pretty annoying, because Luna’s trophy is the only one left I need for platinum. 🙁
Any suggestions?
When it comes to glitches, we usually don’t have any solutions, but suggestions only. Try restarting the game or, at worst, reinstalling it. If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to wait for a patch.
I can’t get the genies to toss the apple. They just keep eating it. Any suggestions?
I have the same problem 🙁
Okay I just got it 👌
I went into the starting area, called loads of genies to my location, then kept giving them what they wanted. One of them asked for an apple in a thought bubble and it was shortly after that when the trophy popped. One thing that might be worth a try is use your super paint as I also did that?
I hope that helps!
Upon completing Luna’s class during the endgame there were window panes that have gotten broken or some thing that has caused all three of my genies to get locked near the section with the globe at the top of the indoor stairs I can’t get the last collectible I need for the game
Excellent guide, one more time thank you very much.
Luckily i experienced no glitches.
Thanks!
I just need one genie moment for the plat. The up with the balloon one on water way b2. But when I go back there, there is no genie and they won’t come to help. Anyone else have this problem or know a solution ?
I’m in the same boat! Post game, no genies to be found in waterways where the Genie moment is.
I had this problem, but after closing and opening the game it was solved. Genies showed up.
Anyone else dealing with stuck genies in the lighthouse during endgame? I need one final sketch using the lightning genie and he is like stuck in a window pane. Any way to get the genies in the basement area up to the ground floor?
For the Om Nom Nom Nom trophy
It works better if you have a genie you created from up to down paired with a genie you created from down to up. That way the lower genie will surely throw the Apple upwards towards the taller genie.
I can’t get dog, cat, dragon to pop! I’ve done ‘mop’ and sheep, and it’s not popping. Glitch? How can I create more genies?
