PS5
The Life is Strange: Reunion platinum depends on the history you choose for Chloe and the decisions you carry through the same save. Use one run for evidence, conversations and rescues, and the second for the opposite history. Chapter select helps with isolated interactions, but optional evidence and successful Backtalk encounters need planning together. This roadmap reveals some scenes.
Two campaigns, branching choices and collectibles, with notes on what chapter select can recover.
- Playthroughs: Two, with a different Chloe history in each
- Difficulty: No difficulty requirement
- Missables: Choices and evidence across a single run
- Online: No multiplayer trophies
Choose Chloe’s history
At the start, pick the timeline in which Chloe survived Arcadia Bay and finish it for Blue Haired Girl. Make this the main run for collectibles, Backtalk and rescues so you have fewer branches to track later. On the second run, choose the history where Chloe died in Arcadia Bay; that playthrough awards Dead Girl Walking when finished.
- Keep the two runs separate.
- Check the ending trophy after each clear.
Collect evidence, photos, sketches and podcasts
Before leaving a scene, check inspectable objects and the available interactions for Max and Chloe. Log photos, sketches and podcasts by chapter, but track optional evidence separately: Major Gumshoe wants it all on one run. In All Available Evidence, inspect the protest board and Ren’s research; that information also unlocks a response in Chloe’s later confrontation.
- Inspect Ren’s research in chapter 22.
- Complete optional evidence on one save.
Win Chloe’s three Backtalk encounters
In Lying and Waiting, convince Noelle you are a visitor; Space and UVM are the cues in English. In Times in Turtle, read the forum before talking to Joey so you have the CardinalSin alias, the bowling reference and Sic semper tyrannis. Before confronting Ren in Chloe’s Decision, inspect his bag. Max’s earlier research and the items in the bag give Chloe evidence for the final exchange. Talk to Lucas about the protest for the separate Slick Rick trophy as well.
- Win over Noelle, Joey and Ren on one run.
- Do not skip the forum or Ren’s bag.
Save Safi and the students for Super Max
Accuse Ren as Chloe and Vinh as Max in their respective decision scenes. At the lighthouse, use responses that remind Safi of Max’s affection, her chance to change and what she knows about the fire. In The Line of Fire, read the board to learn where Jeanette is, take the mask and wrench from the janitor’s room and switch on the sprinklers at the breaker. Give Noelle the mask and tell her what you found, open the remaining valves, then smash the locked door’s window to reach the remaining students.
- Choose Ren as Chloe and Vinh as Max.
- Check Safi, sprinklers, valves and the atrium door.
Recover short scene trophies and finish the other run
In Class Act, examine the graffiti, let it be wiped off, then rewind: move the bucket and examine the wall again. At Open Mic Night, hear all the poetry before Amanda’s performance begins. If all you lack is a scene-specific action like these, revisit its chapter. If you missed optional evidence or the full rescue chain, use the other timeline run to redo those objectives in order.
- Complete Bucket Challenge and Soul of a Poet.
- Finish the run with the opposite history.
Trophies to watch
Major Gumshoe
Find all Pieces of Optional Evidence in Game in a Single Playthrough
Log optional evidence in chapter order. Picking one up in an isolated replay does not replace a run containing all of it.
Sass Queen
Won all Backtalk Encounters on a Single Playthrough
Win against Noelle, Joey and Ren on the same playthrough. Prepare Ren’s confrontation in chapter 22.
Super Max
Saved Everyone Possible
Combine the correct accusations, Safi’s rescue and every student rescue action in the fire sequence.
Dead Girl Walking
Completed the Game as the Chloe who Died in Arcadia Bay
Set Chloe’s death in Arcadia Bay at the start of the second run and finish that story.
Frequently asked questions
Can I replay only the final chapter for both endings?
No. Blue Haired Girl and Dead Girl Walking depend on Chloe’s history selected at the start. Plan two runs with a different choice in each.
Which Backtalk encounters count for Sass Queen?
Noelle, Joey and Ren. Slick Rick is a separate Lucas conversation: do it on the same run for convenience, but do not use it in place of Joey’s confrontation.
What can chapter select recover?
Individual interactions and collectibles such as photos and sketches. For Major Gumshoe, Sass Queen and Super Max, do the linked actions in the same story run.
