Evil Dead: The Game Trophy Guide & Roadmap

As a survivor, defeat 500 basic enemies (not elites or bosses). This can be done across multiple matches. Basic units are the most common, the weakest ones that die in a few hits. This will come naturally over time. You have to be the one landing the final hit. It should come within 10-20 matches. In the results screen after the match it shows how many units you killed of each type.

As a survivor, defeat 50 elite enemies (not basic units or bosses). This can be done across multiple matches. Elite units can be summoned by the demon player through portals or fully upgraded traps, they have more health than basic units and look different. This will come naturally over time, but it’s reliant on the demon player actively casting elite units. You have to be the one landing the final hit. In the results screen after the match it shows how many units you killed of each type.

See  Boss of Bosses.

As a demon, you can place traps on chests. Approach a chest in an area where survivors are scavenging, on the chest you can press to switch between the “Ash’s Hand” trap and “Mini-Ashes” trap. Select Ash’s Hand and hold to place it. When a survivor opens the chest, a hand will jump out that damages and scares them. You need to get a bit lucky that a survivor opens the chest, then it will pop the trophy. Just follow the survivors around and place this trap on all chests in the area.

Special attacks are performed by pressing after hitting an enemy a few times. Do this 10 times and the trophy will unlock. This will be one of your first few trophies playing as a survivor.

Finishers are triggered with . Attack an evil unit, after a few hits you will get the prompt, for it to count as a “finisher” the special attack must be the final hit that kills the enemy (fishing move). It doesn’t count if the enemy survives the attack.

As a survivor, revive 30 other survivors. This is one of the lengthier trophies if done through normal gameplay. It relies on teammates going down, you surviving and reviving them before other players do, and the demon player actually being good enough to down someone on your team. You may instead want to farm this in a private match, or at least with a friend in a vs. AI match. Just find a normal evil unit, let it attack your friend, revive your friend, let your friend get downed by the evil unit again and repeat. In a private match you can have the demon player possess a unit and kill one survivor that you can keep reviving, kill any other units that attack you so they don’t disrupt your revive.

Altars are marked by white rune icons on the minimap in the top left corner: 

They look like big stone altars:

They are found everywhere, spread across the entire map, every few meters. There’s always one nearby.

To resurrect other players you must first let them bleed out. Then their soul can be collected by holding at their corpse. Bring their soul to any altar (will be marked by red icon on minimap after picking up the soul). Hold at the altar to resurrect the survivor. You can carry 3 souls at once.

This is one of the more annoying trophies to get through normal gameplay, because it’s reliant on the demon player being good enough to down other survivors, and you being quick enough to grab their souls and resurrect them without dying.

You may instead want to farm this in a private match, or at least with a friend in a vs. AI match. Just find a normal evil unit, let it attack your friend, let your friend bleed out, grab their soul and resurrect at an altar. You can just stand in front of an altar to repeat this 10 times. In a private match you can have the demon player possess a unit and kill one survivor that you can keep resurrecting, kill any other units that attack you so they don’t disrupt the resurrection.

Finding 3 Lost Pages is the first objective in every match as a Survivor. In the top right corner it will say in what map district the lost page is at. Open the map with Touchpad and put a marker on that area + . Then search the buildings, the page is always inside a building. Collect 20 Lost Pages total, this will come naturally over time through normal gameplay. You must pick up 20 pages yourself for it to count, don’t let other players pick them up. If you focus specifically on this and head straight to the pages before other players you can grab them pretty quickly. It also counts in private matches (can play 1 vs. 1 with an inactive demon player), and also counts in Matchmaking with Real Players vs. AI.

Light Sources are marked by flame icons on the minimap. Lighting them requires matchsticks which are red item pickups often found in buildings and at benches or camping sites along roads. The light sources reduce your fear level. Try to light a few each game and this will come naturally over time.

Using a firearm you must defeat 10 Deadites with headshots. It’s unclear if skeletons (Necromancer demon class) count for this or not, because those aren’t called “Deadites” in-game. The ones the game specifically refers to as “Deadites” are the zombie-like and alien-like monsters from the Warlord & Puppeteer classes, those seem to count properly for it. Anyway, you’ll get this pretty quickly as one of your first trophies playing survivors.

Kill an enemy without having any weapons equipped, using your bare fists. If you defeat the enemy using the finisher it may not unlock correctly, make sure you land the final hit with or melee attack. It’s unclear if skeletons (Necromancer demon class) count for this or not, because those aren’t called “Deadites” in-game. The ones the game specifically refers to as “Deadites” are the zombie-like and alien-like monsters from the Warlord & Puppeteer classes, those seem to count properly for it. Anyway, you’ll get this pretty quickly as one of your first trophies playing survivors. By default you start out with your bare fists. You can also get it during the Solo Missions, for example in the 3rd Solo Mission you start with bare fists.

You can toggle on the flashlight by pressing . Shining the flashlight will reveal hidden items, usually found in sheds and houses. Just keep your flashlight always on when scavenging and this will come over time.

Possessed teammates will be shown in red color. You also get a text prompt on the left side saying a teammate has been possessed. This happens when their fear level reaches the maximum and the demon player decides to manually possess the human player (it doesn’t happen automatically). Then the demon can fully control the possessed player. You end the possession by attacking your red-marked teammate, each hit reduces the demon’s energy until it’s expelled from the body. This is reliant on the demon player actually choosing to possess a player near you, which isn’t guaranteed. However, it happens fairly frequently and will come naturally over time.

In order for it to count towards the trophy YOU (not another player) have to land the FINAL HIT that brings the demon’s infernal energy to 0. If another Survivor does the final hit, or if the demon’s energy runs out after you hit, or if the demon manually unpossesses the survivor it doesn’t count! The trophy is not bugged, it’s just very specific about it only counting when your hit brings the demon’s energy to 0. This is why it can seem like you need much more than 10 of these because not on each attempt will your hit be the one that expels the demon. The best strategy is to carry big weapons that have slow attack speed and high damage, it the possessed player with heavy attacks. Heavy attacks drain much more of the demon’s energy per hit than quick attacks. Good weapons for this are hammer, axe, sword. For example, if you use a common rarity hammer that does 70 damage per hit and use heavy attacks, it should expel the demon in 2-3 hits. You can sort of tell if it counted or not when the possessed teammate turns “normal” again the exact moment your attack lands. If their red outline goes away 1-2 seconds after you hit, it didn’t count because the demon’s energy depleted from the possession cost per second and not from your hit. The demon’s energy keeps dropping automatically each second (e.g. your hit brought its infernal energy to 5 points but then it dropped another 2.5 points per second from the possession cost while you weren’t hitting, then the demon was expelled automatically from reaching 0 energy, which wouldn’t count towards the trophy).

This may be one of your last trophies. It can be farmed in private matches with 3 players (2 survivors, 1 demon). You don’t need a full team of 4 survivors to start private matches. Simply have the demon player use demonic dash ( ) to increase fear of one player, possess that player, then the other survivor hits with heavy attacks using a heavy weapon such as hammer. Rinse and repeat until the trophy pops. In private matches you don’t have other survivors hitting the possessed player so there’s a better chance it counts. Have the demon player collect only 150 energy, because the possession cost is 100 energy it will leave 50 energy, which will deplete within 2 heavy attacks from a heavy weapon.

Self-explanatory, while driving a car run over 50 enemies. This doesn’t have to be done in one car ride or one match, it counts across all matches as well as solo missions. Will come naturally over time.

While playing the survivor called “Ash Williams” (available with any class), find and drive a “Delta” car. Cars are marked on the minimap but it’s random which car spawns where. A reliable way to get it is in the 3rd solo Mission (choose “Missions” from title screen). There’s a car marked at the start that is marked as a main objective. I got the trophy from there, but if you get a different car or the trophy doesn’t pop you can try restarting the match until you get it.

This is the “Delta” car:

Find a car (marked by car icon on minimap), enter the car and press to honk the horn. You’d normally use this to alert other players it’s time to go and make them get into the car.

Cars are marked on the minimap. Enter one and honk near your teammates to alert them to get in the car. You should get it naturally over time. You can also try in a solo vs. AI match, because the teammates automatically follow you around and will always enter the car.

Finish a match with the 3 characters Ash (The Evil Dead), Cheryl, Scotty being on your team. The 4th character doesn’t matter. You don’t need to win the match, the trophy also unlocks on a loss or if the demon disconnects. If you see teammates having selected at least 2 of these characters, pick the missing 3rd one. All these characters are available from the start.

The characters are highlighted red in the image below:

Finish a match with the 3 characters Ash (Evil Dead 2), Annie Knowby, Ed Getley being on your team. The 4th character doesn’t matter. You don’t need to win the match, the trophy also unlocks on a loss or if the demon disconnects. If you see teammates having selected at least 2 of these characters, pick the missing 3rd one. All these characters are available from the start.

The characters are highlighted red in the image below:

Finish a match with the 3 characters Ash (Army of Darkness), Lord Arthur, Henry the Red being on your team. The 4th character doesn’t matter. You don’t need to win the match, the trophy also unlocks on a loss or if the demon disconnects. If you see teammates having selected at least 2 of these characters, pick the missing 3rd one. “Lord Arthur” is unlocked by finishing the 5th Solo Mission. However, you don’t need to have him unlocked yourself, it still counts if a teammate uses him. If you want to unlock him yourself, refer to the Evil Dead Walkthrough for all missions.

The characters are highlighted red in the image below:

Finish a match with the 3 characters Ash (Ash vs Evil Dead), Kelly, Pablo being on your team. The 4th character doesn’t matter. You don’t need to win the match, the trophy also unlocks on a loss or if the demon disconnects. If you see teammates having selected at least 2 of these characters, pick the missing 3rd one. “Ash (Ash vs Evil Dead)” is unlocked by finishing the 1st Solo Mission. Pablo is unlocked by finishing the 4th Solo Mission. However, you don’t need to have them unlocked yourself, it still counts if a teammate uses them. If you want to unlock them yourself, refer to the Evil Dead Walkthrough for all missions.

The characters are highlighted red in the image below:

There is an “Ash” character in each class (Leader, Warrior, Hunter, Support). You must finish a match with all 4 of these being on your team, Ash is always the character furthest left in character select of each class. You don’t need to win the match, the trophy also unlocks on a loss or if the demon disconnects. If you see teammates having selected at least 3 of these characters, pick the missing 4th one. “Ash (Ash vs Evil Dead)” is unlocked by finishing the 1st Solo Mission. However, you don’t need to have him unlocked yourself, it still counts if a teammate uses him. If you want to unlock him yourself, refer to the Evil Dead Walkthrough for all missions.

The characters are highlighted red in the image below:

Win 30 matches playing as survivors. You win a match by completing all objectives or by the demon disconnecting.

It also counts the “Play As Survivor vs. AI” matches. You DON’T need to play vs. Real Players.
However, it’s unclear if the “Play Solo” matches count or not, for me trophies didn’t unlock in the “Solo vs. AI” matches (where you run around with 3 bots). To be safe use the matchmaking where you play with 4 real survivors, either against AI or a real demon player. Private matches count too.

Furthermore, if the demon player disconnects it also counts as a win for the survivors, which is confirmed to count towards this trophy too.

You can quickly boost this in private matches with 2 players. Because the game comes with PS4+PS5 download you can even boost it by yourself using a PS4 and PS5 console with 2 different accounts, or ask a friend to help out. You don’t need a full team of 4 survivors to start private matches, they work 1 vs. 1. Have one player be the demon, the other Survivor. Have the demon player quit immediately after loading into the match (after you can control your character). This will instantly count as a win for the survivor. It will also show as “Victory” in the results screen and gives the Survivor 1250 User XP each time. The process takes about 2 minutes per match, so about 60 minutes to boost 30 wins.

Defeating “the Dark Ones” is the 2nd last objective of the survivors. After finding the 3 pages and going to the blue scroll/dagger icons the next step is to defeat 3 big demonic entities by holding to shoot lightning at them. In order to unlock the trophy you should actively be holding on the “Dark Ones” at the moment they die, otherwise it might not unlock properly. This also doesn’t seem to unlock in solo matches with bots, but it works fine in a match with real players vs. AI.

Boss units can be summoned by the demon player a little bit later into the match after they increased their Threat Level and spent a point in the “Boss” Skill. Then the demon player can summon a boss with + . At the time of the game’s launch there are 3 bosses excluding DLC (1 per demon class):

• Henrietta (naked flying woman, Warlord class)
• Eligos (alien that can turn invisible and has lightning around it, Puppeteer class)
• Evil Ash (knight in skull-armor with a sword, Necromancer class)

Defeat 20 of any of these bosses while playing a Survivor. This will come naturally over time. You have to be the one landing the final hit that kills the boss. In the results screen after the match it shows how many units you killed of each type. To keep better track you can note down your boss kills at the end of each match or keep a screenshot. Because there’s no in-game statistic for this you must keep track yourself.

You can also farm this in private matches, which can be done 1 vs. 1 (you don’t need a full lobby of 4 survivors to start private matches). Either do this with a 2nd console by yourself or have a friend help you out. Have the demon scare the increase the threat level. As soon as possible have the demon player press and put 1 point into the Boss skill. Then the demon player presses + to spawn the boss. The survivor kills the boss, rinse and repeat. However, there is a 180 second boss cooldown by default (can be reduced by buying buffs in the Collection menu). This means a minimum of 3 minutes between spawns plus 30-60 seconds to kill the boss. Assuming 4 minutes per kill x 20 kills = 80 minutes to farm this trophy. Just keep it for last, if you are still missing this trophy after reaching max user level you should only have a few boss kills left to pop the trophy.

Pink F Points are small pink bottles that are found in chests. Thoroughly search all districts and open all chests you find. They usually contain 1-3 Pink F Points. You also always get a chest with 2-3 Pink F Points from the blue objectives (scroll/dagger). Fully upgrade 5 of 6 Survivor Categories by pressing to open the skill menu. Pick the cheapest ones that require the fewest points, which varies by your chosen character (e.g. Warrior characters can spend more points in Melee but fewer in Ranged). It should take about 15 Pink F points depending on your character, so about 5-8 chests that you must open.

This trophy can be earned in Solo vs. AI matches where you play with 3 bots. This is the easiest way, the bots are actually really good at marking chests for you and leave them for you to open. Just go from one district to the next. Spend your points immediately after getting them, because the demon can cast Mini-Ashes on chests that can steal 1 Pink F Point from your inventory. Once you spend the points they can no longer be stolen.

Legendary weapons have a golden color, they are the rarest. Since anything you do in the solo missions also counts for trophies, the easiest and quickest way to farm it the 3rd solo mission (select “Missions” in the Title Screen and play to Chapter 3). In Chapter 3 you start out with a legendary rifle. The mission requires you to kill groups of deadites, simply use the legendary starting weapon and repeat the mission a few times until the trophy unlocks. If you fail the mission it still counts.

For this you need to reach Level 25 with a survivor and allocate all 25 skill points. You spend the points in Title Screen > Collection > select your survivor. Each level up gives you 1 skill point. The trophy description is slightly misleading because there is no way to buy “all” skills, there are not enough points to do that. It’s capped at 25 skill points. Just reach level 25 and spend all points.

You can also spend Spirit Points you earned as a demon to level up survivors by holding on the skill page, so technically you don’t even need to play as a survivor at all for this. The Spirit Points are displayed in the top right corner of the title screen, below your User XP, left of your User Level. Spending them is the fastest way to level up your survivors/demons.

Note: if it doesn’t unlock, play another match with your level 25 survivor and it should unlock after the match.

Obtained by reaching Level 25 with a Survivor. The fastest method is to spend your Spirit Points in Title Screen > Collection > select your survivor > hold to spend Spirit Points. The Spirit Points are displayed in the top right corner of the title screen, below your User XP, left of your User Level. You earn spirit points from every match and from leveling up your user level.

You can also spend Spirit Points you earned as a demon to level up survivors by holding on the skill page, so technically you don’t even need to play as a survivor at all for this.

Note: if it doesn’t unlock, play another match with your level 25 survivor and it should unlock after the match.

As the demon, you can press to possess evil units. For this you must possess 50 basic units, which are the weakest units. You can summon them from Basic Portals (press and put 1 skill point into it) or by placing traps and having survivors walk into them. Alternatively, basic units are also standing around randomly in many places. It counts across multiple matches.

As the demon, you can press to possess evil units. For this you must possess 25 elite units, which are the stronger units. You can summon them from Elite Portals (press and put 1 skill point into it) or by placing fully upgraded traps (costs 3 skill points in traps). It counts across multiple matches.

As the demon, you must press and put 1 skill point into the “Boss” category. This only becomes available later into the match after increasing your threat level. You can’t put your first skill points into it. Once you have this skill press + to summon the boss unit. Do this 10 times. It counts across multiple matches.

As the demon, you can press to possess survivors whose fear level has reached the maximum. They will then be outlined in red color to indicate they can be possessed. You can then control the survivor player to attack other players. Possess 10 players total. It counts across multiple matches.

As the demon, press to possess a car (costs 100 energy), then simply drive it into a survivor. It only needs to damage the survivor, doesn’t need to be a kill. An easy way is to possess a car that someone is driving, which will put that player out of the car and you can immediately drive the car into that player. Your energy drains very quickly while driving vehicles, do this when you have 250 for the vehicle possession to last longer.

*BUGGED* – obtainable but currently seems like pure luck whether it unlocks or not. If it bugs out, delete your save (PS5 Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > PS5 > Console Storage > Evil Dead > Delete), reinstall the game, then do 30 wins in private matches in one session back to back without closing the game.

Win 30 matches playing as survivors. You win as the demon by killing all 4 survivors, by them disconnecting, by time running out (30 minutes), or by destroying the red book during the last objective.

You can quickly boost this in private matches with 2 players. Because the game comes with PS4+PS5 download you can even boost it by yourself using a PS4 and PS5 console with 2 different accounts, or ask a friend to help out. You don’t need a full team of 4 survivors to start private matches, they work 1 vs. 1. Have one player be the demon, the other Survivor. Have the demon collect one full bar of energy (250 energy) by collecting red orbs, this is to make sure it registers the win correctly. Then have the survivor player quit. This will instantly count as a win for the demon. It will also show as “Victory” in the results screen. The process takes about 2-3 minutes per match, so about 60-90 minutes to boost 30 wins.

For this you will need some luck to get a weak team, ideally players who split up and walk around on their own so they’re easier targets. You are not allowed to summon your boss unit (do not do the + summon). Start by putting 3 points into traps, which summons elite units from traps. Next, put your points into Basic Portal and Possession. Then summon a portal and possess a basic unit and attack the survivors with it. The Necromancer class is recommended, with a basic skeleton unit do the combo, it takes about half a survivor’s health in one combo. Try to find the survivors very quickly before they get stronger. Their starting point is roughly the furthest point away from where you spawn. E.g. if you spawn in the north, the survivors will spawn in the south. If you spawn in the east, they will spawn in the west. If you spawn in the middle you’ll have to take a guess. You can mark the furthest point on the map (press Touchpad and to place a marker). Just upgrade all skills except the boss skill and try to win a match that way.

Another quick and easy method is to do this in a private match 1 vs. 1. Have one player be the demon, the other a survivor. Have the survivor disconnect at the start of the match and it will count as a win for the demon and unlocks this trophy.

Certain trees can be possessed with . Do this at a tree near 2 or more survivors and hit to attack. The tree attack actually covers a long range. This is easier than it sounds because survivors often walk around together, so you should easily hit 2 or more in one tree attack. This will come naturally over time by just playing the game.

After a survivor’s fear level reaches the maximum, they will get a red outline around them and can be possessed with . This will let you take control of that survivor. For this trophy you must kill another survivor while controlling a possessed survivor. Try to do this when one survivor has little health remaining, you can see their health bars in the bottom left corner and their character icons on the minimap in the top left corner. Possess one of the well-equipped players nearby and focus on the player with low health. Use the survivor’s firearms from a distance, this is safer than melee. If you play melee at close range and take damage it will drain your energy very quickly (any damage you take drains your energy and ends the possession quicker). Using guns also has the side effect of draining the survivor’s ammo so they have none left after the possession is over. Try to do this on a group of 2 survivors who split off from the group or got left behind. If you do it where 4 survivors are close together they will all attack you too quickly and end the possession. You can also do this in a private match, you need at least 2 survivor players and 1 demon player. First, have the demon possess a basic unit to lower one of the survivor’s health so they will die in one hit. Then have the demon use the dash to max out the other survivor’s fear. Now possess the survivor with full health with and kill the survivor with low health. Just use heavy attacks as they deal more damage.

As the demon, press and put 1 skill point into the “Boss” category. This only becomes available later into the match, you can’t spend a point on it right away. Once you have the skill press + to summon the boss. Kill 10 survivors total using bosses. It counts across multiple matches.

As the demon you get upgrade points by increasing your threat level. You raise the threat by scaring survivors, e.g. by having them walk into traps or attacking them with possessed units or using the dash on them. Press and fully upgrade 4 of 7 skill categories IN ONE MATCH to pop the trophy. Go for the cheapest ones. Demon Vision & Traps are the cheapest ones to upgrade.

*BUGGED TROPHY* – doesn’t unlock for many players. If it doesn’t unlock, make sure you have all 45 skill points spent for a demon and keep completing matches with it until you increase your User Level and it should unlock after the match. If not, just keep winning matches with the demon and it will unlock at some point.

For this you need to reach Level 45 with a demon and allocate all 45 skill points. You spend the points in Title Screen > Collection > select your demon. Each level up gives you 1 skill point. The trophy description is slightly misleading because there is no way to buy “all” skills, there are not enough points to do that. It’s capped at 45 skill points. Just reach level 45 and spend all points.

You can also spend Spirit Points you earned as a survivor to level up demons by holding on the skill page, so technically you don’t even need to play as a demon at all for this. The Spirit Points are displayed in the top right corner of the title screen, below your User XP, left of your User Level. Spending them is the fastest way to level up your demons/survivors.

You earn this by reaching the maximum THREAT LEVEL (displayed in bottom right corner) during ONE MATCH. For me it popped after a match where I reached Threat Level 37. You build your threat level by scaring survivors, e.g. with traps or attacking them with possessed units or trees or using your dash. The trophy will then unlock after the match in the results screen, not during the match.

To clarify, unlike the trophy for reaching max level as a Survivor, this is NOT for reaching max level in the Collection > Demons menu where you purchase perks. The trophy description is slightly misleading as it refers to the demon level but what is really required is the THREAT LEVEL.

You earn this by reaching the maximum user level, displayed in the top right corner of the title screen.

The maximum user level is Level 100 BUT this trophy unlocks at Level 50! This is at the time of the game’s launch, confirmed as of May 22nd, 2022.

It’s believed that they increased the max level during development from 50 to 100 but forgot to update the trophy requirement. Hence, you should get it as quick as possible before they patch it and require level 100. You can save a lot of playtime right now because of this lucky “bug”. So even though the max user level trophy pops at level 50 you can still keep earning levels afterward, but nothing more than level 50 is needed for trophy purposes.
