The Dark Man Enters (Clue) – prob only for Emily? Got it every time on her and never on Edward
I’ve also gotten it as Edward & sometimes never got it as Emily. I’m honestly just super confused about that clue overall & what seems to trigger it appearing/not appearing
Hey the Perosi’s Journal in chapter 2, is also glitched. when I walked in I believe it was still there but when I have unlocked the desk combination the collectible have disappeared for some reason.
I can go test this out later to see if this was an isolated incident or not.
Collected all clues in this list on both characters and did not get that achievement? glitched? or is the list missing one?
Did you also get The Dark Man Enters in Chapter 3? It’s a story related one that you sometimes won’t receive for whatever reason. If you did get that, try loading a save as Emily & Edward, then read both of the collectibles they start with (So Edward Carnby, P.I. & Lasting Debt on Edward, then A Long Engagement & Jeremy’s Warning on Emily). The trophy should no longer be glitched as I personally got the trophy as well as some others collecting only what appears in the guide.
Same here gonna wait for a patch since the locks and are trophy and the flask one is glitched as well
You need to read all of the clues. Two are in each characters inventory by default, if you have a save game at Chapter 5 for both characters you should be able to just load it up and read them from there. That’s what I did and it unlocked.
Трофей за открытие всех замков можно получить играя за одного персонажа?
Translation: Can you get the trophy for opening all the locks by playing as one character?
I’m unsure if you need to do both characters, one character, or every unique lock since it’s currently bugged & I haven’t even managed to get it yet after 12 different playthroughs of opening everything.
hmm when i went to library to go leave my offering for the tree the collectible is atill on the shelf and says full when i go pick it up im wondering if it glitched n didnt register that i collected it as its back on the shelf….
This is a similar issue with some other collectibles. I don’t think this happening has any bearing on earning the trophy since I had this happen with the Jack in the Box in Graces room as well as the Pieces of the Plate clue in the Boiler Room, but still got the related trophies
This happened for me when it came to the note piece of plate. I tried going in boiler room yesterday night play and picking it up and it said inventory full. I was stressing and so pissed than I went to my collectibles and saw I already had it. I guess I picked up that note elsewhere or something. If these glitches and crap didn’t exist this would actually be an overall solid game. But completionist like us is making it a nightmare. I’m on my first playthrough as Edward and I already know there’s no way in hell I’m getting all the trophies by the time stellar blade comes out next Friday. Wish Powerpyx did videos for this game. Ones I found online are choppy out of order and just a convulsed confusing mess at times.
i can confirm you do not need dark man enters collectible on both characters if you got it at least once you are good load up each last save go to investigation and then archive and read every one if u missed one it will pop on the one u missed like mine was talisman schematics for some reason.
Great to hear! Little confused why you got it when reading the Talisman Schematics, but the game is extremely buggy, so I’d wager something just ended up going wrong or something.
u say in guide 28 dialogues but if each extra counts as one emily has 27 n edward has 29 pretty sure ive gotten all but no pop
this guide is missing the medical box in lotties room you have it in ur puzzle guide but not here. unless it doesnt count.
I believe the medicine box doesn’t count since it is neither a door nor a safe
I couldn’t get to the Empty Room in Chapter 4 up until I did the X-Ray puzzle and even got to the Attic first. Now the guide is completely out of order for me because I haven’t even been to the Pearl River yet and I’m getting collectibles from later in the guide. Did I mess something up?
No you’re fine as you’ll need to go back to do that stuff either way.
there is a work around for locks trophy on psn profiles if you got a physical copy.
Update dropped which fixes the bugged You can’t keep me out! trophy.
Hi!
I have a question.
I picked up the clue “The Dark Man Enters” in my first game with Emily but it doesn’t appear in my second part with Edward.
I have no idea why.
Think I couldn’t get the trophy asking to “read all clues”?
Judging from what others have reported, Yes, you should still get the trophy. I recorded all the clues from my personal playthroughs so it could very well be possible on pre-launch updates that the game glitched out & gave me The Dark Man Enters as Edward, or it’s just particular clue.
The answer is “yes”.
I just got the trophy without picking up that clue in my second part.
Cassandra’s Things (Clue) / (Edward Only) MacCarfey’s Pirate Treasure (Clue) / Dr. Gray’s Office Bolted Door (Lock)
I got everything with Emily, here. But the room still is red on the map. Door also opened. Is it a bug?
hi, I missed some initial conversations, can I recover them by starting a new game doing only those? or do I have to start all over again by taking everything again?
I’m personally not sure if they transfer over between playthroughs, but since you’d have to replay either way to grab the ones you missed it’s worth a shot
Who am I confused, I took all the collectibles in the run with Edward, now in Emily’s run is it enough to take only her personal collectibles or also the ones I had taken in Edward’s run?
I want know it too, soon do i need pick same collectible as emily or personal one are enough. Thx for help
Some players have reported only need the unique collectibles, but since there isn’t all that many anyway it’s safer just to pick everything up again.
I missed the one in the bar… it doesn’t seem to reappear so be careful to get it when that room appears.
