PS4
The platinum requires the endings of all six episodes and one optional action in each. You can revisit an episode to recover a trophy, but handling the detours as you go avoids repeating puzzles to reach their locations. In episode five, for example, finding virtual reality is only the beginning: the object you interact with and how often you do it matter.
Skunkape Games’ PS4 remaster launched in Europe on 8 September 2022. Telltale’s 2006 original has no separate PlayStation list.
- List: 13 trophies: 10 gold, 2 silver and the platinum.
- Online: No online requirements.
- Cleanup: Revisit the individual episode for its missing trophy.
Episode 1: get Whizzer to sing
Visit Bosco’s and talk to Whizzer while he is still in the shop. Compliment his show, then ask him to sing the Soda Poppers song. Repeat the request until he actually sings; his initial response does not count. Resume the case once you have checked that the trophy unlocked.
- Do not advance the investigation out of the scene before hearing him sing.
Episode 2: bring the shaving cream to the set
Find out who took the shaving cream at Bosco’s. Chase the thieves in the DeSoto and fire as they approach an open manhole to recover it. Keep the cream until the audition and use it on Bessy on the set. Looking at the cow or merely carrying the shaving cream is not enough; combine the two before the audition moves you on.
- Check Dairy Creamer before proceeding with the show.
Episode 3: score at least 21 at Whack Da Ratz
At Ted E. Bear’s casino, use the tokens on Whack Da Ratz itself. Aim for the yellow rats: keep your aim close to the holes they are appearing from and avoid wasting shots chasing the wrong targets. If the scoreboard shows fewer than 21, try again before moving on to cards.
- You need 21 points or more in one attempt.
Episode 4: look for the White House Easter egg
On the White House calendar, move the sticky note to 8 April, marked Easter Sunday. Then go outside and interact with the hole. Moving the note changes the day, but the trophy only unlocks when you look for the egg outside. Afterward you can set the calendar to the date needed for the main puzzle.
- Check Trophy Hunter before changing the date again.
Episode 5: interact with the lips repeatedly
When Sybil’s virtual reality becomes accessible, use the chip on the goggles to enter. Interact with the lips several times before leaving: the first remark is not the one you need. Keep going until the response that triggers Powerful Stash. If you are cleaning up, revisit episode five and return to the goggles scene.
- Sybil’s goggles are your entry point; do not look for the target outside the simulation.
Episode 6: use the saw on Hugh Bliss
During the confrontation with Hugh Bliss on the Moon, look for the window when you can act while using the talismans. Select the saw and use it directly on Hugh before ending the encounter. Once Headless Hugh unlocks, continue with the talismans to finish the story. Reaching the ending alone does not award the saw trophy.
- Check both Headless Hugh and the ending trophy.
