Introduction

Welcome to the Layers of Fear 2 Trophy Guide! Layers of Fear 2 places you in the role of an actor aboard a liner who is tasked by his director to create his own character for the upcoming play. As he journeys through the unsettling and eerily beautiful atmosphere of the ship, our protagonist experiences the sheer madness of his movie’s director. Through psychologically well-balanced horror layers that go from ever-changing puzzles, references to horror movie classics and storylines bordering the non-sensical, Layers of Fear is a nuanced spectacle that will make your time for the platinum worthwhile.

Layers of Fear 2 sports three different endings, each of which is connected to the two main storylines and different choices you can make. The story-related trophies refer to whether you decide to follow or ignore what your director instructs you to do. For the third ending, you need to replay only half of the game back-to-back and replay Act 5 when you’re back at the cabin. In each of the five Acts are act-specific trophies and collectibles (Movie Posters, Phonograph Interviews, Mysterious Items, Photo Slides, and Spyglass Items), which, however, have no in-game tracker. All trophies are highly missable. Fortunately though, when you finish the game for the first time, NG+ unlocks giving you the chance to revisit Acts in random order to clean up whatever you’ve left behind or restart from Act 1 to play for a secondary ending.

Step 1: “Obey the Director” Ending for “Flame” trophy, All Collectibles and Missable Trophies

In this step, choose to obey the director every time you’re faced with a choice in each one of the five Acts. Do exactly what he tells you to or not to do.

These are the trophies you should unlock during your first step. They are listed in their unlockable order:

1. Sound Bite
2. Choice and Consequence
3. Fisherman
4. The Perfect Storm
5. A Slice of Life
6. Lights, Camera, Action! (unmissable)
7. Debut
8. In One Take
9. Hit Your Mark
10. A Beautiful Mind
11. Trust Your Instincts
12. We Don’t Talk About It
13. Find Your Inner Voice

20. Full Scoop
21. Body of Work
22. We Are Not Alone
23. Fisher King
24. A Mosaic of Misery
25. You Can’t Handle the Truth

Step 2: “Disobey the Director” Ending for “Forever” trophy, Collectibles and Missable Trophies Clean-Up

In this step, start a NG+ but this time choose to disobey the director every time you’re faced with a choice in each one of the five Acts. Completely ignore what he wants you to do. In this step, you may have some collectibles left to pick up or act-specific trophies to take care of. Make sure to collect the remaining Mysterious Items in this step.

These are the trophies you should unlock during your first step. They are listed in their unlockable order:

1. Go Off Script
2. Show Restraint
3. Trust Your Instincts
4. Go Against the Grain
5. Forever

Step 3: “Succumb to Madness” Ending for “Formless” trophy

To get the third ending, start a NG+ but this time you just need to play the first two Acts. Since the game records the choices you’ve made from previous playthroughs, there’s no need to replay the game in its entirety if you’ve followed this roadmap. Replaying Act 1 and Act 2 and obeying the director in both is enough. When you’re done with the first two acts and are back at the cabin, replay Act 5 and the third ending should unlock.

1. Formless
2. Rule of Three

	A Beautiful Mind Complete the clock puzzle without a single mistake
Halfway through The Hunt you’ll reach a mechanical laboratory. In front of you are three tin mannequins tinkering with some switches and to your right is another one opposite a clock-looking contraption. First, go left through the doors until you reach a ladder. Climb down the ladder to come face to face with a puzzle. The puzzle is fairly easy to complete, but if you can’t find the solution here is a picture to help you. Once this first puzzle is complete, head back to the laboratory and proceed where the mannequin that drops dead was. To solve this puzzle you need to move the hand to the numbers needed to reach the number indicated by the panel on the left. You can ignore the number shown in the upper left-hand corner. Make sure that every number you add doesn’t make the total go over the required number, otherwise you will have made a mistake and you need to start over by exiting the game and hitting continue. Doing so will respawn you before the well. Here’s what you have to do for each number. 0 > 8: 8. 12 > 38: 10+9+7 24 > 70: 10+9+8+7+6+5+1

	In One Take Get through the set without getting caught in the lights
Halfway through Act 1 you will reach the wings of a stage. In this area you need to activate a light switch to continue. Once you’ve activated the switch some spotlights will start moving. To unlock the trophy you need to make it across the wings without getting caught by the lights. This is easier than it sounds if you calibrate your movements. If you don’t feel confident with your stealth skills, make a manual save, exit and launch the game again to be safe.
	Lights, Camera, Action! Begin shooting your movie
Automatic story-related trophy. Unlocks during Act 1 after spinning the globe, regardless of your choices.

If you get hit, you can quit the game and try again, but you’ll have to reassemble the rocket back together. It should be noted that to void this trophy you need to be hit by a rock in the front. If you avoid rocks, you still will feel a slight vibration, but that won’t void the trophy.
	Se7en Seas Save all the lost souls
At some point during Act 4 you’ll come across a bright room with a table with lots of plates on top. Crouch through the cranny to reach a cave-like area. In this area are 5 smaller areas and inside each are some rat cages. These are the souls the game refers to. Simply interact with the mannequins or puzzles in each room in order to be able to unlock each cage. This is what you have to do in each room: Lift the mannequin’s head from the soup. Pull the cord from the bloody mannequin’s arm. Interact with the blanket from the downstairs bedroom. Interact with the blue teddy bear from the upstairs bedroom. Solve the puzzle in the office. Set the skull on the TV on the left, and the right arm on the TV on the right. If you look at the pictures from an angle, you’ll find the clues you need.
	Rule of Three Witness all three endings
Unlocked when all three endings have been discovered.
	Fisher King Spot everything through the spyglass
In the cabin, on the upper floor to the right, is a spyglass. As you play through the story you will go back to your cabin once each Act ends.
