Romeo is a Dead Man has 93 Collectible Locations spread across the game, and all of these are required to obtain the following trophies:
- 36 Badges – Romeo is a Laden Man

Badges are equippable buffs that can be found in floating purple tesseracts, given as rewards or purchased from Shiroyabu. Research Notes and Documents are pieces of paper that have a white glow, making them easy to spot. These are generally found in the open and are not too difficult to find.
