)Introduction
Welcome to the Hell is Us Trophy Guide! Hell is Us is the newest game from Rogue Factor, a Canadian game developer who previously made turn-based strategy games based on Games Workshop properties. Hell is Us is a significant departure, being an adventure game played in similar manner to a Soulslike combat-wise, but with a very heavy emphasis on solving puzzles and using clues found throughout the game to determine where you are meant to go and what to do. The game doesn’t include a traditional map or any objective markers, so you need to think about the information you’re given and use cardinal navigation and context clues to solve mysteries and progress the game.
Trophy-wise the game requires you to finish all side content, completing Good Deed and solving Mysteries to access all locations and receive all awards. You’ll collect almost all possible collectibles in the process of doing this, though not 100% of every item is required. Some Good Deeds and NPCs you need to converse with are missable, but most missables are only triggered by progressing the story, so you can make sure to complete these before story events, then everything outside of those missables can still be cleaned up after the story.
Step 1: Follow Walkthrough to get 100% in 1 Playthrough
Follow the Hell is Us Collectible Walkthrough and you’ll get all trophies in 1 playthrough. It includes all trophies, collectibles, missables, and explains how to advance the story objectives.
Players who prefer to search by themself can follow the Missables Guide which lists only the strictly missable collectibles.
Aside from missables, everything else can be completed after the story when you load your save. This means you can complete all side content as you go outside of what is specified in the Missable Guide, or leave everything not missable and clean it up post-story.
Step 2: Cleanup Remaining Trophies
After you finish Act 3 and reload your save you are placed back in the final story location, then can continue exploring the game world and continue cleaning up any remaining side activities. As long as you completed the missables during the story then everything else can be cleaned up now, as all areas are still accessible to you.
Trophy Tracker Exploit for Good Deeds and Relics
On PS5 you are able to exploit the PS5 System trophy trackers to earn Man of the People and Antiquarian without actually collecting everything in one playthrough. Currently the game adds +1 to the trophy tracker for these two trophies whenever you complete a Good Deed or acquire a Relic, even if it is one you have collected before. This is most useful if you manage to miss a Good Deed or a Relic during a playthrough, as you can start a new save and then turn in the same one over and over to progress the trackers, then the trophies are unlocked when the trackers progress to 100%.
This can be done without PS+. When you have a Good Deed ready to turn in (such as The Golden Watch in Senedra Forest) or rewards available to be collected from Gildas Brom (such as from closing a Timeloop):
- Save manually at a save point, then go to the Good Deed turn in or Gildas and either complete the Good Deed or claim the rewards.
- As soon as the Good Deed completion appears or you receive the rewards close the game
- Launch the game and reload your save and you should be back at your last save, but the trophy counter has been increased +1
- Repeat until the trophy unlocks
If this doesn’t work at first you may need to delete your save from the PS5 save menu (back it up first if you haven’t completed everything else) then try again starting on a completely fresh save.

Good Vibrations Upgrade one of each Weapon type to Grade 5 |
|
| MISSABLE
This trophy is awarded for upgrading one of each of the four Weapon types (Sword, Twin Axes, Polearm, Greatsword) to Grade 5, which is the highest upgrade level. Weapons and Defensive Gear are upgraded at the Blacksmith Victor located in Acasa Marshes – Jova who becomes available in Act 1 of the story. Initially he can’t upgrade weapons to this level, but along the main story path you can find books to bring back to him that allow him to upgrade gear further. This and the other two upgrade-related trophies are marked MISSABLE because once you clear Timeloops enemies no longer respawn, so at that point the Lymbic Shards you have are finite and you cannot obtain any more in your current playthrough. You receive so many over the course of the game though (including a huge number by defeating the four bosses in the Eye of God which is required to finish Act 3) that you can’t miss this trophies unless you were purposely wasting the Shards creating a large number of Lymbic Consumables, which you shouldn’t do as they aren’t that useful and you can find tons throughout the story. |

Well-Travelled Visit all locations |

Lend an Ear Converse with all NPCs |
|
| MISSABLE
This trophy is awarded for conversing with all 21 conversational NPCs during one playthrough.

NPCs spread throughout the game world who you interact with and they just say a line of dialogue do not seem to be required. This is MISSABLE as some of the NPCs die or disappear after certain story events, so if you missed speaking to them earlier and progressed without the information they give then you can miss this trophy during a playthrough. NPCs are listed in the order they appear in the story in the Missables Guide along with their location. |
||
 |
Keymaster Solve 25 puzzles that require the right item |

||
 |
Ever After Ensure that all possible NPCs end up at Lake Cynon |
|
| MISSABLE
This trophy is awarded for having all possible NPCs end up in Lake Cynon after specific events in Act 2 of the story. This is missable as two of the NPCs are related to Good Deeds. One is a missable Good Deed, and the other needs to be completed before a specific point in the story even though the Good Deed itself isn’t missable. If you missed either of these conditions the NPCs won’t be in Lake Cynon. The NPCs are:
The trophy is awarded the next time you travel to Lake Cynon after the NPCs appear, so if you aren’t ever going back to Lake Cynon after the first visit then you wouldn’t earn this until you travel there to place the remaining Keystones to complete Act 2. |

 |
Passion for Fashion Acquire and wear all baseball caps |
|
| This trophy is awarded for obtaining and wearing all 10 Baseball Caps during a playthrough.

Once you have collected them all you need to equip each one at least once in the Loadout menu to receive the trophy. If the trophy doesn’t unlock after wearing all 10 make sure you don’t have the “no hat” cosmetic option enabled while switching between the hats. » Hell is Us Collectible Walkthrough |

Crusader says
Thanks very much! Especially the collectible walkthrough!
Great to enjoy the game exploring by myself without missing any trophies!
Crusader says
I meant the missable guide! Great stuff!
Sylvain says
Amazing guide, thank you!
Nisata86 says
First of all thanks for all the efforts.
Im really glad about the missable guide section, hope it continues
Best regards,
4ipuxa says
No difficulty trophies, no online trophies, no need to backup saves or suffer for hours, that is my kind of game to platinum.
Assetix says
Thank you for this guide and also for including a spoiler free Missable Version! I’ll definitely be using that one and explore everything else myself!
Lord Baldemort says
By following the missables guide, would I still be able to go through and explore and figure most things out by myself?
Usually don’t have an issue with following a guide, but this game is kind of built around the idea of figuring things out yourself.
Gage says
Yes, it only covers the specifically missable stuff you need to watch for. Most of the more involved puzzles are related to story progression or the Mysteries which aren’t missable.
Chris says
So my plat playthrough got ruined because of the dog at the wrong time? Im done with this game
Gage says
You should be able to run back to this on the second save in about an hour. You would only need to complete the two Good Deeds, then complete up to the story event at Pathem Abbey to have everyone move to Lake Cynon and it should unlock.
PhotoGamer says
Mine is ruined by 1 flare I didn’t give. Thus costing me 1 relic I’m missing to have all 29… idk if it’s worth having to do the entire game again
DarkSurge says
This must have been a huge effort to do for the guide, thanks for the all your hard work.
Xorital says
Thanks so much for the missables guide. I can play while finding things myself while at the same time not missing anything. It is greatly appreciated.
BT says
Thanks for the guide Gage, by the way, a heads-up that you don’t really need to do the dog good deed before giving the keys Atticus. The couple stay near the mine anyway, and you can give them the collar, then the dog will be in the lake as well and the trophy pops fine.
Jay B says
I have all the NPCs in my log but lend an ear did not pop when you said it would. Any clue what I’m missing, I’ve been through the list of NPCs multiple times and I don’t see any missing.
PhotoGamer says
The exploit must only work on good deeds and not relics, as exiting the game and coming back, the option for relics isn’t there anymore. Thus meaning it was used the first time when speaking to Gildas and can’t be redone.
Gage says
If you have PS+ try backing up your save and fully deleting the one off your system, then try doing it on the first relic you receive on a completely new save. Someone I talked to during the review period said they tried it for relics and it worked, but it might not work on Relics you’ve already picked up on an existing save slot.
If you don’t have PS+ you could try rushing to that point on a second save slot and specifically get that relic, maybe it counts all relics across all save slots.
PhotoGamer says
Edit: it works as long as you save before leaving to the Hills and not saving again before taking to Gildas. That was the only way I wa sable to replicate a relic usage, but was only a one time thing. I couldn’t spam using it. Perhaps the game doesn’t allow more once you’re caught up. TBD I guess lol
Jay B says
Well I must have the worst luck. I have all the NPCs no trophy and I have all 29 relics, no trophy. Guess I will check back if/when they drop a patch
Ambruzzi says
Community Manager on Reddit has replied to certain posts about a patch that is supposed to be in the pipeline for the 19th. One of the alleged fixes is to certain achievements not properly counting and not unlocking. He said we’d just have to load up the game and then it’d recount things for the pops.
Hocine says
Hello
First of all Thank you for this useful guide !
Just a question for the Legend of the Phol trophy : once I have closed every timeloops, should I clean every maps by killing every ennemies ? Basically, I have to explore again all the maps ?
I mean it can take a lot of time, since each maps are more or less complex…
Gage says
Yes you have to kill all enemies so there are no longer any present in the game.
Hocine says
It’s been 7 hours that i’m at Vyssa Hills looking for the last level 1 ennemy remaining for the Legend of the Phol trophy. The ennemy doesn’t want to spawn anywhere in the map. I can’t believe that I miss an area after all that time of research.
Also when you run near an ennemy (even if you can’t see him yet) your stamina starts to decrease. At no time my stamina decreased during 7 hours of search.
I assume the trophy is bugged for me.
Drew says
Having an issue with Lend an Ear.. Spoke to all NPC’s and nothing popped
NoHeroes94 says
Reports this has glitched on recent patch. First Cronos, now Hell is Us. What’s going on?
min says
I’ve searched the Vyssa Hills map, but I can’t clear it. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Captain_Urahara says
Same. I have cleared every map but Vyssa Hills. I have checked everywhere about 6 times and it is empty.
Arkonite says
Try to check this location :
In front of the snake head there is a mine entry (the one in a ruin) -> go down the ladder -> then take the first left -> there is a hidden room with a red collectible and 2 level 1 ennemies
These two were the last I needed to this clear this area.
Heaven says
Thanks @Arkonite, you’ve been a help
cyberghost47 says
It seems like I missed the Lend an Ear trophy even though I completed all the good deeds.
I noticed after Act 3 that I had a converted option left with the dude on the balcony. (Even though I did speak to him when I first saw him) Would loading a backup save from mid Act 2 resolve this when speaking to or do I need to do another play through?
Michelle says
I cant for the life of me clear Senedra Forest! I’ve cleared every place on the map except for the Forest. It says there is still Level 2 threats present but can’t find anything!!! I went back to the very beginning to the top of the tower with NO luck. I spent 6 hours on this area searching meticulously. I thought maybe there was an enemy stuck in one of the cells but all the cell doors are opened and empty. This is all I need to clear for plat too 🙁
4ipuxa says
Any tips for the Legend of the Phol trophy?
Heaven says
There’s a small bug in game, for Legend of Phol trophy, if you hover on plains of mist area from navigation map you’ll notice it says clear when you hover from any cleared location but hover on plains of mist after you’ve hovered on uncleared area you’ll see it’s unclear and have enemies.
Martin says
Lend an ear did not unlock for me. I followed your guide to a T and never popped when talking to the DR through through the intercom. So annoying.
Julio Novais says
I only missed “Ever After” as I didnt want to follow a guide for my very first play.
But in case you’re wondering, you can start a new game and get “Ever After” after just 1h-1:30h of play. So, if that happens to you, dont worry.
Also, I was able to get Man of the People even after losing 2 good deeds. I missed the time for Incognito and Forlom’s Fate, but I had all the items, as soon as the last deed ended was failed, I got the trophy.
Dominic says
Hi,
Just to say, there is one more missable trophy – The Harder they Phol. This is because you have to kill the *actual* haze enemy (i.e. the big colorful shape shifting blobs), not simply the pale enemy with the glowing stomach/vomit.
On my first play through I used a tactic where I’d stun the enemy from a distance with a lymbic ability, then rush and follow up with melee to finish them off. So the hazes were not spawning and I was not killing them. By the time I’d cleaned out all enemies from the world I’d only killed 39 (of the required 40!) tier III hazes. I had to do a rerun until tier III started spawning again to get that final kill.
So make sure you’re going to get this before you close all your tier III timeloops.
