This trophy is highly recommended to be done on Assisted difficulty as you will automatically regenerate to ‘Caution’ when your health is in Danger. You also have the benefit of relying on autosaves in case you end up dying during your run, so you’re not put nearly as far back.

The only time you can’t regenerate your health is at the very start of the game since you’re at a fixed Danger level until you heal once, which is why you’re allowed to use 1 healing item. Make sure the healing item you use is a First Aid Kit, which you can find very early in the Matron’s Office to make sure you’re at full health.

For the rest of the run, you’ll want to play it safe and be very careful of traps as they can take a big chunk of your health. If you find yourself losing too much health in a specific section, you can keep reloading the autosaves that Assisted difficulty gives you until you make it through the section with very little damage to no damage. You’ll also want to make sure you use your dodge very often, especially against bosses so you can mitigate your damage as much as possible.

You will earn this if you follow the Tormented Souls 2 Walkthrough.

There are a total of 3 Combination Key Puzzles to complete:

• Door to the Archives (story-related, cannot be missed)
  • Female Symbol
  • Cross
  • Moon
• Gate to the Church (story-related, cannot be missed)
  • Heart
  • Yin and Yang
  • Star
• Locker in the Computer Lab in the School
  • Sun
  • Heart
  • Man Symbol

It’s highly recommended to do this on subsequent playthroughs so you know where to go and how to complete the puzzles quickly. You can complete the game pretty comfortably in 3-4 hours, so 5 hours is more than enough time. Below are some tips to do it as fast as possible:

• Go for the bad ending as going for the good ending will add roughly 10-15 minutes to your time.
• Only kill enemies when you absolutely need to. If there is a room that you’ll never enter again, there is no point in killing any enemies if you’re leaving.
• Only loot items that are on your path or not out of the way. The only exception to this would be going for the Shotgun as it’s a very good weapon and the time loss is worth it.
• Play on Assisted difficulty for more ammo drops, meaning you won’t need to spend as much time picking up extra ammo. You’ll also be killing enemies faster since they have less health. You also won’t need to waste time saving or picking up Recording Tapes as you can use the autosaves on Assisted instead.
• Look at the Tormented Souls 2 Puzzle Guide to have all solutions ready and not waste time on Puzzles. If you get lost with where to go next, refer to the Tormented Souls 2 Walkthrough.
• Pausing the game with will pause the timer, so you can check for puzzle solutions or the walkthrough without adding to your time. The timer will still go in the inventory and in the map.
• You can skip cutscenes with to save time.

There are plenty of traps in the game you can use the kill enemies. The first trap is in the Basement in the Convent. You can lure an enemy over to the statue with the sword and once they’re close, run under it to trigger it and have it kill them. An easier spot to earn the trophy however is in the Crypts right after you pick up the Cursed Book. All the spinning traps in the area will activate and once you hear the enemies chasing you, you can run behind one of the spike traps and wait for them to run into it.

You’ll need to complete the game without saving a single time on Standard difficulty or higher. It’s recommended to do this on subsequent playthroughs when you know the game, and try to play as safely as possible. If you die, you have to start from the beginning. Below are some tips to help you survive.

• You can look at the lights at your controller to see your health. Green means you’re at Fine, yellow means you’re at Caution, and red means you’re at Danger. Once you get down to Danger, you’ll want to heal up right away.
• Watch out for traps as they can do a good chunk of damage to you and if you’re already low on health, it can outright kill you.
• Remember where all the enemy locations are so that you don’t get taken by surprise. And if you do, back up and deal with the safely.
• Make sure to use your dodge, especially against bosses as it has invincibility frames and a lot of boss attacks practically require you to dodge in order to avoid them.
• During the Puppet Virus Puzzle, make sure you double and triple-check that you’ve done it correctly before you inject yourself as if you do it wrong, it will result in an instant death. And with it being the last puzzle in the game, you’ll have to replay the entire game again if you die here.
• Similarly, make sure you cure the puppet virus before entering the Resurrection Chamber to face the final boss. If you enter the area while still having the puppet virus, you will be killed and this will not result in earning an ending and will force another attempt.

Note that this can’t be ‘cheated’ by backing up saves to PS+ Cloud either, because the game makes no autosaves on Standard difficulty. You also can’t turn off your console as it would wipe your progress. It has to be done in one sitting. If you need to take a break, pause the game, but don’t power down the console.

This trophy doesn’t actually unlock on your very first save, it unlocks when you overwrite a save, so don’t worry if it doesn’t unlock right away.

There are a total of 5 weapon upgrades, you need all of them to earn the trophy:

•  Metal Pipe 1 – Shotgun Upgrade
  • In the Convent, go to the Torture Museum (Other Side) and use the stretcher in the middle of the room to split the scarecrow. Go back to the Torture Museum in the real world and you can pick up the Shotgun pipe from the split corpse.
• Compressed Air Canister (Small) – Nailer Upgrade
  • In the Convent, on the table in the upper part of the Library that you access through the Lady Chapel.
• Metal Pipe 2 – Shotgun Upgrade
  • In the Processing Plant, on a small table in the 2F Dining Room that you can access through the Warehouse.

  • In the Cemetery, inside the coffin of the Burial Chamber behind the brick wall you need to destroy with the Sledgehammer.

Difficulty trophies do not stack, meaning you need one separate playthrough on each difficulty setting.

You’ll need to beat the game without ever opening the map. Pressing Touchpad will open the map if you have one, so make sure you don’t press it. If you don’t have a map or are in an area without a map, pressing the Touchpad will not void the trophy.

For the trophy to unlock, you’ll need to actually pick up a map however, so the best way to earn it is to finish up to entering the Church without picking up a map, then you can pick up the Town map off the newspaper stand near the Church and beat the game as normal. The last area doesn’t have a map anyway, so you don’t need to worry about accidentally opening it. Below you can see all the maps in the game in case you get lost during your playthrough.

Convent

Town

Mall

Processing Plant

Cemetery

School

After getting the Sledgehammer, you can go back to the Convent and go to the Refectory. You can now break the brick wall there and go to the Dormitories where you can find the Duct Tape. After defeating Pighead in the School, you can go to the Girls’ Restroom and go through the mirror to the Other Side and go to the Director’s Office (Other Side). You can then use the Duct Tape on the robot sitting in the chair which will save Miguel and lock you into the good ending.
