Introduction

Welcome to the Scholar’s Mate Trophy Guide! Scholar’s Mate is a first-person horror Escape Room experience that puts you in the shoes of Judith, a young woman who wakes up in the gloomy facilities of a psychiatric hospital. You must escape from this macabre place by solving mysteries while avoiding capture by Eddie, your sinister hunter.

Step 1: Play through the game on Scholar’s Mate difficulty.

You can play the highest difficulty right from the beginning. It is not hard at all. The only difference between the difficulties is that Eddie the hunter spots you faster. The game is very short, a full playthrough only takes 2-3 hours. You can follow this Walkthrough to get all trophies in one go:

Step 2: Cleanup

Press the button, then run out of the reception, turn right, and run until the end of the corridor, and pass the door with the red light above. If you are too slow the door will close and you have to press the button in the reception again. Make sure Eddie is near you, so he can run after you to smash the door. This trophy is missable because Eddie disappears once you escape and press continue on the main menu.
	Hide! Manage to hide from Eddie
*Missable* For this, Eddie has to chase you and you have to hide in a room. It only unlocks when you close the door to the room. You can do it in any room and you can try it multiple times once Eddie starts to chase you. When he chases you, run away from him and run into a room, close the door and the trophy will pop.

Once you open the Punishment Cell for story purposes, do not enter the Punishment Cell and go back to the fuse box and place the fuses like this. Now go back to the Punishment Cell, interact with the corpse on the chair, and pick up the “Surgery” key. This will unlock the trophy.
