KARMA: The Dark World PS5 platinum guide

KARMA: The Dark World

PS5

One campaign is enough for the platinum if you combine exploration with four precision checks: the phone, assessment, stamping and the Mother encounter. Keep track of documents and Rule Follower figures at each scene change. After the ending, use chapter select to finish incomplete counts.

25 trophies in the PS5 version: campaign, 61 memos, 15 Rule Followers and optional execution challenges.

  • Memos: 61 for Fetish for Collecting.
  • Figures: 15 Rule Followers for Leviathan Collector.
  • Cleanup: Chapter select after the story.

Finish calibration in the prologue, then check desks, drawers and boxes as distinct groups of objects. The right button on Rule Follower boxes depends on the figure: use green for the first one, Waltz. At the Research Institute, check the pneumatic containers for messages and examine the clerical office before leaving the complex.

  • Log the first figure and keep memos separate from Rule Followers.

Pass the phone puzzle without errors

Answer the central telephone when it rings in the clerical office. For War Is Peace, take the right door at the first choice, then the left door at each of the next two. Each time you return to the red-curtain apartment, check the table, couch and the child’s bedroom; items on the furniture change.

  • If you open the wrong door, leave the trophy for a replay of the scene and continue.

Clear the assessment and stamping task

At the Thought Bureau, choose to continue diving, investigate the room and ask MOTHER for help. Later, at the stamping desk, put the stamp down and drink from the BlueBottle as soon as the screen starts to dim. Repeat each time it darkens; stamping through a blackout jeopardizes the clean attempt.

  • After work, look at the noisy TV, look away and check it again for the memo.

Use the camera and survive Mother

In Illusion, keep the camera at 1× zoom. Find the active television and photograph the eye on Mother’s back; if she turns during the early phases, immediately lower the camera. After two eyes are destroyed the water rises. Use the viewfinder to pause the rise, follow her at a distance and take the third shot by the TV.

  • If you die, restart the checkpoint from the menu to attempt the fight cleanly again.

In Fred’s office, open the desk drawer and set the clock to 01:50 to reach the hidden room with the last memo. Look for the last Rule Follower in the blue-lit room after the escape. Continue past the first credits for the LISA scene, then use chapter counts to locate what you missed.

  • Finish the story before revisiting chapters; a replay interrupts progress in the current scene.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a second playthrough?

No. After the ending, you can replay precision scenes and pick up individual missing memos or boxes.

Do memos and figures share a single total?

No: there are 61 documents and 15 figures. Solving a box advances the Rule Follower collection; it does not substitute for a document.

Does LISA require a secret choice?

No. Finish the last scene, go through the first credits and let the epilogue play before quitting.
