Fear the Spotlight PS4 and PS5 platinum guide

PS4 / PS5

Return to Sunnyside High twice, first with Vivian and then with Amy. The platinum asks you to notice apparitions, recover messages and finish both stories in good shape. Plan the puzzles that require a clean first attempt before interacting with them.

36 trophies per list on PS4 and PS5; this guide covers both perspectives in the 2024 version.

Story paths: Vivian and Amy have different challenges and items.
Apparitions: 10 sightings in Vivian’s story for Ghost Hunter.
Voicemails: Five messages and four peephole scenes in Amy’s story.

Set up Vivian’s séance

Inspect the occult collection before advancing the séance; you can also try to start before preparing for Eager Spirit. After the ritual, look through the bookshelf gap when a book falls and then turn left for the first Ghost Hunter sighting. Stay crouched when light sweeps across your route.

For Deep Breaths, plan a run without using the inhaler.

Track Vivian’s sightings

In the Webber Building, do more than collect statue pieces. Look behind the bathroom mirror when you remove it and check the grate again after installing the first piece underground. After taking the VHS tape, return to the locked door and watch the figures in the room. A final sighting follows the floppy disk pickup.

Check the stalls by the vending machine and the middle of the gym after switching the power.

Clear the theatre without damage

Try the piano keys for Maestro and start a melody before repairing the sprinkler for Flow to the Music. Read the poem order before tackling its puzzle. In the final encounter, move from cover to cover between sweeps and cross the stage only when the beam is elsewhere; Bravo requires a clean fight.

If you are hit, return to the menu before crossing a transition that saves progress.

Collect Amy’s memories

In the second perspective, try calling 911 on Amy’s phone before the séance. At the house, look through the peephole on arrival, after the first disc, when returning to drain the water and before fitting the second disc. For the voicemails, check noisy objects including the player in the kitchen and Vivian’s card in her brother’s bathroom.

Let all five messages play rather than treating them as simple item pickups.

Bring down the lights and finish both stories

Downstairs, untie all three ropes holding up the spotlight. At the radio, linger on each station instead of spinning the dial quickly. After the clock puzzle, prepare for the chase: run along the railed hallway, enter the brother’s room and reach the window through his bathroom. For Stress-Free, the safest route is to avoid damage, deaths and incense.

Stay through the end of Amy’s route to check Perfect.

Frequently asked questions

Can I stop after Vivian’s ending?

No. Continue into Amy’s story from the menu; it has the voicemails, peephole scenes and its own ending.

Must I pick up every inhaler?

No. The documented route for Deep Breaths is to avoid using them; staying undamaged makes the run easier.

Do Deep Breaths and Bravo check the same thing?

No. Deep Breaths covers inhaler use across Vivian’s route; Bravo requires a final fight without damage.
