Introduction

A Way Out is a solely co-op based third person view adventure game by Hazelight Studios (The makers of “Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons”), published by EA. It’s not possible to play the game in single player, you have to get yourself a couch co-op partner in real life or a friend from PSN to play it. You can always see what your partner is doing as the game is only being displayed in split-screen.

Only one of you needs to actually buy the game, as the client can simply download the trial version of the game to join the hosts game, however they won’t be able to unlock trophies that way. You have to own the game in order to earn trophies. Luckily you don’t have to redo all the trophies after buying the full version of the game, as it is all saved in-game (in case you did complete the whole thing with the trial version).

All of the trophies will unlock for both players if someone fulfills the requirement, except for 2 of them. More about those in the guide.

Step 1: Enjoy yourself

Play through the game without looking at this guide or trophy videos on YouTube. Enjoy this amazing game! If you don’t want to go in completely blind, have a look at the trophy list and try to guess what you have to do for some of them. All of them a written in a very cryptic way and you won’t be able to just guess what you have to do for most of them.

Step 2: Chapter Select

Now it’s time to head over to chapter select to get all the trophies you might have missed in your fun playthrough, which could potentially be all of them since the game has no story related trophies. Following this guide it should take you less than an hour to wrap this step up and to get you the platinum. Congratulations on your platinum!

A Way Out Trophy Guide

	All The Ways Out Collect all trophies
Earn all other trophies in A Way Out to unlock platinum. Congratulations!
	Freedom You freed someone from captivity.
Escape – Prison Escape This is the 2nd trophy you can earn in the game. For this you have to free the caged parrot in the warden’s office. You have to go through the warden’s office in order to progress through the story. The cage is located outside on the warden’s balcony. It’s a bit dark outside but you should be able to spot it relatively easy. It doesn’t matter who opens the cage. The trophy will unlock for both players.
	Take A Breather You took a break from it all.
Fugitives – Breather This is the 3rd trophy you can earn in the game. Both players have to sit on a rock near the waterfall at the beginning of the chapter and enjoy the landscape. Simply head over to the right after gaining control of your characters and follow the path down to the waterfall. You’ll have to jump over a ledge in order to get to the rock. This trophy is a reference to “Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons”, the previous game Hazelight Studios developed. The trophy will unlock for both players.
	In Sync Music was played in harmony.
Fugitives – The Farmstead This is the 4th, 5th or 6th trophy you can earn in the game. The trophies “In Sync”, “Timeless Treasure” and “Take It For A Spin” can all be unlocked on the farm in any order, after dealing with the elderly couple. For this trophy Vincent has to play the piano and Leo the banjo in the living room of the farm. You have to start playing at roughly the same time and get a streak of about 20-25 notes in order to trigger a cutscene. Simply play the mini-game on “Easy” to make this step as easy as possible. The trophy will unlock for both players.
	Timeless Treasure You linked up to get past.
Fugitives – The Farmstead This is the 4th, 5th or 6th trophy you can earn in the game. The trophies “In Sync”, “Timeless Treasure” and “Take It For A Spin” can all be unlocked on the farm in any order, after dealing with the elderly couple. Both characters have to walk up to the grandfather clock in the living room of the farmhouse and interact with it at the same time. There won’t be a prompt for interacting with it. Once you’ve timed this correctly, a secret door will open halfway up the stairs. Go inside the secret room and open the chest in front of you. The trophy will unlock for both players.
	No Cheating You exposed some infidelity.
Preparation – Reunion This is the 7th, 8th or 9th trophy you can earn in the game. The trophies “No Cheating”, “You Started It” and “Home Run” can all be unlocked in any order, in the trailer park right at the start of the chapter. For this trophy you have to go straight until you reach a trailer with a woman sitting on a foldable chair in front of it. Talk to her to find out about her cheating husband. Turn right and walk up to the first trailer along the path and interact with it. Now that you know the location of the cheating husband, return to the wife and tell her about it. She will head over to the trailer herself, get inside and start hitting them both with her baseball bat. It doesn’t matter who talks to the woman. The trophy will unlock for both players.
	Break From Reality You played a videogame with a friend.
Vengeance – Lift Off This is the 13th or 14th and potentially last trophy you can earn in this game. The trophies “Mayday! and “Break From Reality” can both be unlocked in any order, at the beginning of this chapter. The videogame is located in the back of the flight hangar and can even be seen during the cutscene at the start of the chapter. Simply walk up to the arcade machine and start playing against your partner. The trophy will unlock for both players.
	Mayday! You almost took to the skies.
Vengeance – Lift Off This is the 13th or 14th and potentially last trophy you can earn in this game. The trophies “Mayday! and “Break From Reality” can both be unlocked in any order, at the beginning of this chapter. For this trophy you have to head over to the only room inside the flight hangar and go out through the back door to leave the building. You’ll now be standing in front of a landing pad with a helicopter on it. Leo has to interact with the helicopter in order to trigger a sequence of him accidentally taking off with it and landing it again. This can only be done by Leo, however, the trophy will unlock for both players.
	Managed Anger Dark desires done right.
Preparation – Violent Questioning This is the 11th trophy you can earn in the game. For this you have to trigger cutscene with Leo during the interrogation at the start of the chapter. To do that, walk up to to the NPC with any character and interact with him. Now select “Push him back” and drag him to the ledge of the building with the help of your partner. Leo now has to lean over the side of the table with the wallet on it (which has to be removed and placed somewhere else before you can lean over the table), while Vincent uses 1 object to torture the NPC with. Once the animation is over, a cutscene will trigger where Leo snaps and kicks the NPC off the roof. This is only a dream so it will have no consequences on the game. Once the cutscene is over, the trophy will unlock for both players.
	Live The Dream “Houston, we’ve had a problem.”
Preperation – A New Life This is the 12th trophy you can earn in the game. Once you are in the hospital, head over to the left and take the lift to get to the maternity floor where Vincent’s wife is. Once you step off the lift, head over to the lobby with another receptionist. There is a TV in front of some couches to the right of the reception desk. You both have to sit down and watch a moon landing on the TV for about 30 seconds. After that a cutscene will trigger and Leo will dream that he is walking on the moon. The trophy will unlock as soon as the cutscene triggers. The trophy will unlock for both players.
	Backseat Mechanic You helped fix the bike.
Preperation – Reunion This is the 10th trophy you can earn in the game. After you left the trailer park and reached Leo’s house, Vincent will be waiting outside of the house while Leo’s chasing after his son. His wife will ask you to fetch a wrench for her so she can continue repairing a bike. Head over to the shed with the dart board in front of it and pick up the wrench from the table. Bring it back to her and then start up the bike. The player who controls Leo has to make sure not to climb up the tree house yet, as this will trigger a cutscene that will end this scenario. Only Vincent can help Leo’s wife, however both players will get the trophy.
	Take It For A Spin You did what the wind couldn’t.
Fugitives – The Farmstead This is the 4th, 5th or 6th trophy you can earn in the game. The trophies “In Sync”, “Timeless Treasure” and “Take It For A Spin” can all be unlocked on the farm in any order, after dealing with the elderly couple. For this trophy you have to climb the windmill behind the horse barn and interact with the blades of the windmill. You have to tap   rapidly in order to turn it. You have to do this for about 10-15 seconds before the trophy unlocks. It doesn’t matter who spins the blades of the windmill. The trophy will unlock for both players.
	You Started It Not kids anymore.
Preperation – Reunion This is the 7th, 8th or 9th trophy you can earn in the game. The trophies “No Cheating”, “You Started It” and “Home Run” can all be unlocked in any order, in the trailer park right at the start of the chapter. For this trophy Leo and Vincent have to sit down on the swingset in the middle of the trailer park. Head over to the woman with the cheating husband and turn around when you are standing in front of her. The swing set will be right in front of you next to the garage. This is also just around the corner of the two guys playing baseball. You have to time it correctly so both characters sit down at roughly the same time. This trophy will unlock for both players.
	The Dip You set a new record.
Escape – The Yard This is the 1st trophy you can unlock in this game. The requirement for this trophy can only be fulfilled by the player controlling Leo. Once the cutscene at the beginning of the chapter ends and you can control Leo, head over to the right to a little workout area. There’ll be some older guy next to someone doing dips. Talk to the older guy and take up his challenge to beat the prison record of 19 dips. You now have to perform 20 dips by tapping   very rapidly. This can be somewhat challenging so make sure that the person who is the better button masher plays as Leo for this one. The trophy will unlock for both players once Leo has performed the 20th dip.
	Home Run You are clearly good with a bat.
Preperation – Reunion This is the 7th, 8th or 9th trophy you can earn in the game. The trophies “No Cheating”, “You Started It” and “Home Run” can all be unlocked in any order, in the trailer park right at the start of the chapter. For this trophy you have to play baseball and hit a home run (knock the ball out of the “stadium” i.e. over the fence). After you gain control of your characters, take the first path to the right and keep walking until you meet 2 guys that are playing baseball. You now have to ask them if you can play with them. You have to play as the batter to hit the home run and you can either play with the NPC as your pitcher or your partner. The trophy only unlocks for the person who hit the home run, so each player has to do this for themselves.
