Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water Platinum Guide

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water

PS4 / PS5

The Mt. Hikami platinum tracks two separate things: episode completion and score. On the first run, take files and photos you pass naturally; after unlocking Nightmare, replay missing chapters and work on top scores with a faster camera.

The 2021 remaster, known in Europe as Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water. Native PS4 and PS5 lists with 39 trophies each.

  • PlayStation release: October 28, 2021, PS4 and PS5
  • Top rank: Normal and Nightmare
  • Endings: Eight in Last Drop, plus Ayane’s route

Explore on Normal and unlock the Threads

Finish the story on Normal for a useful first pass toward platinum. In new rooms, check files, apparitions and traces before following the objective. Finish Ayane’s bonus route as well: the Threads count toward completion and have their own ending. You can revisit individual missions from the episode menu without restarting the prologue.

  • Check for Threads as well as Drops after the first ending.

Complete episode records

For the completion rate, look for files, floating ghosts, traces and Glance targets. Keep the camera ready when a figure appears briefly, and approach a defeated Glance target before it vanishes. If you reload a checkpoint for a missed photo, reach the next save before leaving the mission. Finish the episodes on both required difficulties.

  • Compare the collectible summary with the individual episode percentage.

Score with Type-07 and Fatal Frame shots

For top ranks, replay the episodes on Normal and Nightmare. Upgrade reload and multishot and use Type-07 film on ordinary ghosts for more scoring opportunities. Wait for Fatal Frame windows instead of shooting blindly, pick up items along the route and limit healing when safe. Spend the points on the remaining upgrades afterward.

  • Keep two rank columns, one for Normal and one for Nightmare.

Unlock the eight Last Drop endings

For Yuri, use Glance on Ose in the underwater phase once and at the surface once, on separate clears. For Miu, alternate taking all four photos of Miku with a run without them. For Ren, switch between Photo of a Bride and Bundle of White Hair, then complete the two outcomes available after each choice. Mark each ending as soon as you see it.

  • Check for two endings for Yuri, two for Miu and four for Ren.

Dedicated Ose run

Equip Type-07 before the final fight with Ose Kurosawa and keep it selected throughout. The challenge counts on any difficulty: if you still need it after ranking runs, use a separate, easier clear. Wait for a good shot and check your film type whenever the fight changes phases.

  • Do not switch to another film after your first shot at Ose.

Frequently asked questions

Do Normal and Nightmare count the same way?

Ranks are recorded separately. The top-rating trophy requires both; check the two entries in the episode menu.

Do the endings require eight full runs?

No. Use episode select to replay Last Drop and change its outcomes. Ayane has a separate bonus route.

Do I need special film for every ending?

No. Type-07 concerns the fight with Ose, while endings depend on your actions in Last Drop. You can earn them on separate runs.
