PS3 / PS4
Heavy Rain requires preserving consequences rather than merely replaying a scene. Arrests, trials and survival choices alter epilogues; jumping straight to the ending after changing an earlier chapter does not automatically propagate the new story. Plan a first campaign followed by dedicated everyone-alive, Perfect Crime and epilogue routes. Local trophies can be cleaned up separately, but objectives spanning several chapters need continuous saved progression.
The PS3 and PS4 lists have 57 trophies with the same objectives. Plan chapters and saves on your console before replaying choices.
- Required difficulty: A high difficulty setting is not required.
- Missable trophies: Choices, ARI clues and endings require consistent routes.
- Online: The list is offline.
Use chapter selection without skipping consequences
To change an ending, restart at the earliest changed event with saving enabled and continue through subsequent chapters. Do not immediately load the finale expecting the new decision to exist there; that load can retain the old state. First record who must live, what each character must know and whether Ethan must be free.
- Carry each changed choice through to the ending without skipping intervening chapters.
Complete Ethan’s five trials in one story route
Trial Master is not an arbitrary sum of trials completed on incompatible saves. Preserve a route in which every trial succeeds and verify each outcome. Other trophies reward refusing or failing the same trial; handle those separately so they do not invalidate the all-trials progression.
- Preserve a dedicated all-trials-successful route.
Collect and analyse all ARI clues
For Nerd, inspect the crime scene, Mad Jack and Fish Tank before story progression removes access. Jayden must both locate relevant clues and use the evidence to identify the killer; one scan or a phone call does not replace the entire requirement. Keep this investigation separate from a route intended to make him fail.
- Check all three ARI scenes and the final analysis.
Treat Perfect Crime as a chain of conditions
The trophy specifies an exact chain: remove evidence from Manfred’s shop, let Lauren, Hassan and Kramer die, have Madison and Jayden die, and leave the killer free. A similar-looking outcome does not substitute for any required event. Track the conditions already propagated and continue to the epilogues; the final choice alone cannot rebuild earlier events.
- Check every listed condition before the epilogues.
Organise epilogues by combinations
After the first campaign, list viewed epilogues and group those sharing character states. Change the latest useful decision to create the next variation while preserving the rest of the route. Single-QTE trophies can be cleaned up afterwards; planning often avoids restarting an entire campaign for each ending scene.
- Record viewed epilogues and the earliest change needed.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change one choice and jump to the ending?
To propagate the new consequence, continue with saving through subsequent chapters.
Are Nerd and Perfect Crime the same route?
They have different goals: plan one route for the complete investigation and another for the Perfect Crime chain.
Are different character endings required?
All Endings requires the epilogues, so track viewed combinations rather than only the overall ending.
