Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake

PS5

The PS5 remake of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly routes its platinum through six endings with different conditions. First open New Game+ with a regular clear, then work through the side stories that award Spirit Stones. Keep the Type-07 challenge separate from the Nightmare ending; combining them makes an already demanding route harder. The roadmap names endings and some branches.

Roadmap for the remake’s PS5 list: six endings, photo collections and Camera Obscura upgrades.

  • Edition: 2026 remake for PS5
  • Difficulty: Nightmare for The Remaining Sun and A Butterfly’s Dream
  • Missables: Photos and side stories depend on chapter and branch
  • Online: No multiplayer trophies

Clear Crimson Butterfly and keep the clear data

Finish the story for Crimson Butterfly and save your clear data; it opens the Spirit Stone routes. For Lonely Road Home, at the Kureha Shrine branch after the tree, take the exit that leaves Mayu behind after defeating the spirits. Keep a save before the detour. That ending awards a trophy, but it does not replace a main clear for New Game+.

  • Save the Crimson Butterfly clear data.
  • Take Lonely Road Home on a separate branch.

Get Yae’s and the Kusabi’s Spirit Stones

In New Game+, pick up Yae’s story by revisiting the Kurosawa courtyard in Chapter 7. Complete the Kusabi’s story as well; it starts in Chapter 4 and involves finding documents. Before entering the altar, equip Yae’s Stone for The Promise or the Kusabi’s for The Abyss. Owning a stone is not enough. Record both endings before chasing the next one.

  • Finish Yae’s and the Kusabi’s stories.
  • Check the equipped stone before entering the altar.

Unlock Sprouting Wings with Sae and Mayu

After The Promise and The Abyss, finish Sae’s stories and Mayu’s. Do Mayu’s in Chapter 8 before the sisters split up. Equip both stones before the altar. After the fight with Sae, reach Mayu and take her hand instead of taking a photograph. Keep this clear data: it opens the next part of Mio’s story and the route to her charm.

  • Equip both Sae’s and Mayu’s stones.
  • Take Mayu’s hand after Sae.

Bring Mio’s Spirit Stone to the Nightmare run

Before attempting The Remaining Sun, finish the other endings and side stories until you have Mio’s Sparkling Spirit Stone. Start a Nightmare route from clear data and equip the stone before entering the altar. Look for the Mayu Questioning photo cue, which identifies the right branch. Use strong film and upgrades against the Kusabi and Sae; do not rely on selecting just the final chapter for this run.

  • Start Nightmare and equip Mio’s stone before the altar.
  • Check for the Mayu Questioning cue.

Finish the photo archive and Type-07 Master

Compare documents, wraiths, specters, Revenants and twin dolls in the archive rather than assuming a combat photo fills a collection slot. Some final specters appear only on their own branches, so capture the appropriate Mayu photo before moving on. Upgrade the Camera Obscura, filters and charms as you revisit chapters. In a separate Sae fight, set Type-07 before the first shot and use only that film until you win.

  • Check the specters tied to different endings.
  • Use only Type-07 for the dedicated Sae attempt.

Trophies to watch

The Remaining Sun

Reached the ending "Remaining Sun."

Use clear data for Nightmare, equip Mio’s stone before the altar and verify the branch with the Mayu Questioning cue.

Sprouting Wings

Reached the ending "Sprouting Wings."

After The Promise and The Abyss, equip Sae’s and Mayu’s stones, then reach for Mayu’s hand after the fight.

Chasing The Shades

Use one list by chapter and one by ending. Some altar specters change with the branch.

Type-07 Master

Defeated Sae Kurosawa with only Type-07 film.

Use a dedicated attempt without switching away from Type-07. Do not carry the restriction into the Nightmare campaign.

The True Camera Obscura

Fully enhanced the Camera Obscura and its filters.

Spend materials on both the Camera Obscura and its filters; the trophy checks both.

Frequently asked questions

Do original-game guides work for this remake?

Only as a broad reference. The PS5 remake has new endings and Spirit Stone conditions. Use a 2026 guide for its branches and photo sets.

Must I defeat Sae within one minute for The Remaining Sun?

Do not treat that timer as a requirement. Some guides report it, but PS5 clears taking longer have been documented. Check Nightmare, Mio’s stone and the altar branch first.

Does Type-07 have to be used on Nightmare?

The description asks for a Sae win using only Type-07 and does not specify a difficulty. Attempt it on a manageable branch that includes her fight.
