Hell is Us – PS5 platinum trophy guide

PS5

The platinum's risk is advancing the story while someone is still waiting for help. Plan around the Good Deeds in Jova, deliveries in Talju and two rescues in Lethe and the museum. Work on upgrades and unrestricted collectibles after securing the story-sensitive objectives.

PS5 base list, 41 trophies. Contains spoilers for quest deadlines and the people of Hadea.

Online: No online trophies.
Difficulty: The base list has no difficulty requirement.
Missable trophies: Dialogue, Good Deeds and associated rewards can disappear; budget upgrade shards.

Finish the Jova errands before using the Forge

Before placing the Keystone of Grief, talk to Captain Vaas, Jaffer and Rebecca. Deliver the milk, complete Love Thy Neighbour and take the Vyssa Hills sheet music to the violinist. Give the woman at the hills camp her atenolol. Save Atticus's vehicle keys for Act 2, when you can finish Maxie's quest as well.

Check the log before placing the first Keystone at Lake Cynon.

Release Maxie and hand out the flares

Return to Jova at the start of the second act. Free Maxie and take his collar to the Vyssa camp before visiting Pathem Abbey: timing matters for Ever After. At Talju, collect the flares outside town hall and hand out all four, including Boro's, before advancing the radio objective and the Hollow fight in the car park.

Check off all four A Light in the Dark deliveries separately.

Finish Incognito and keep Lamech safe

At the Lethe ministry, talk to Maeve before killing the ranged Hollow. Use the keycard from the garage to retrieve the clothes and deliver them to the upstairs soldier before leaving. At the Auriga Museum, clear the observation room opposite the Timeloop before opening the yellow doors so you can speak to Lamech.

Speak over Mabden's intercom before starting the B4 encounter.

Reserve shards for all four weapon types

At Victor's forge in Jova, raise a sword, twin axes, polearm and greatsword to Grade 5. Upgrade two defensive pieces to Grade 4 and equip them alongside two Grade 5 weapons. Postpone crafting consumables: once Timeloops close, enemies in the affected areas stop supplying fresh shards.

Bring Victor the smithing books you find along the main route.

Research items and clear the Timeloops

Give research items to Tania and verify all six categories. Use the clues for the vaults and keep relics, glyphs and drone modules on separate checklists. After closing a Timeloop, sweep its area again and kill the remaining entities: closing the breach alone does not complete Legend of the Phol.

After the final act, check unresolved mysteries and missing collectibles.

Trophies to watch

Man of the People

Accomplish all Good Deeds

Treat the Talju deliveries as four separate errands and finish each before triggering the town hall events.

Ever After

Ensure that all possible NPCs end up at Lake Cynon

Free Maxie at the start of Act 2, before Pathem Abbey, and complete Love Thy Neighbour in Act 1.

Good Vibrations

Upgrade one of each Weapon type to Grade 5

Spend shards on one weapon per type before committing them to consumables.

Antiquarian

Acquire all Relics

Vaults and some Good Deeds award relics, so check both logs.

Legend of the Phol

Close all Timeloops and defeat all remaining entities

Revisit areas with closed breaches and clear the remaining entities.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the difficulty?

Yes. No base trophy specifies a difficulty, so choose a setting that gives you room to explore.

Does the ending restore missed quests?

No. You can revisit many areas, but cleanup will not restore characters lost at story transitions. Keep an earlier save where the game allows.

Why is the dog absent from the lake?

Man’s Best Friend needs to be completed before the events at Pathem Abbey; finishing it later does not ensure Maxie relocates.
