Story & Progression
The critical-path and endgame trophies — the three Acts, closing Timeloops, and steering Hadea's survivors to safety. All are story-driven; Ever After is the one to plan for, since NPC fates hinge on the side content you complete before the finale.
Hero of Hadea

Obtain all Trophies.
Hero of Hadea
PlatinumFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
The platinum for earning all 40 other trophies. Hell Is Us has no missable trophies gated behind a single choice, but two areas need care: the four ending-tied research and Ever After threads reward thorough exploration, and the Well-Read research sweep is the longest task. Play the story naturally, examine everything for research, clear combat and collectibles as you explore, then mop up on free-roam after the final act.
So It Begins
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Complete Act 1.
So It Begins
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Story-unmissable — pops on finishing Act 1. Hell Is Us is a markerless, map-light game: progress comes from listening to NPCs, reading your notes and exploring, so slow down and investigate rather than rushing the critical path.
Emotional Baggage
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Complete Act 2.
Emotional Baggage
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Story-unmissable — completes on finishing Act 2. By now you'll have the drone and core traversal tools; use the mid-game to start chipping at research, Haze variants and Good Deeds since Act 2 opens up the most territory.
Redemption
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Complete Act 3.
Redemption
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Story-unmissable — pops on completing Act 3, the final act. Free-roam remains available afterward, so anything you haven't cleaned up (research, relics, Haze kills, caps) can still be finished for the platinum.
End the Suffering
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Close a Timeloop.
End the Suffering
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Close a single Timeloop. Timeloops are the recurring environmental puzzle-encounters tied to a location's trauma; resolving the puzzle/fight breaks the loop. You'll close your first as a natural part of the story — this pops the moment you do.
Legend of the Phol
GoldFull guideCollapse
Close all Timeloops and defeat all remaining entities.
Legend of the Phol
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Close every Timeloop and defeat all remaining entities — effectively the full-clear combat-and-puzzle trophy. Work through each region closing its Timeloops (see End the Suffering) and hunting down any lingering Haze/Hollow Walkers. Best mopped up late, when you have Grade 5 weapons and a full drone loadout.
It's Mine Now
SilverFull guideCollapse
Acquire a means of transportation.
It's Mine Now
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Acquire a means of transportation. Story-driven — you gain a vehicle to cross Hadea's larger stretches during the campaign. Unmissable; pops when you first claim it.
Long and (not so) Winding Road
BronzeFull guideCollapse
Traverse the tunnel from the Lymbic Forge to the Eye of God.
Long and (not so) Winding Road
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Traverse the tunnel from the Lymbic Forge to the Eye of God. A specific late-game route between two key story locations. Simply make the full journey through the tunnel; it's part of the endgame path, so you'll do it while pushing toward the finale.
Ever After
GoldFull guideCollapse
Ensure that all possible NPCs end up at Lake Cynon.
Ever After
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Ensure all possible NPCs end up at Lake Cynon — the game's 'good outcome' for its cast, and the one trophy to watch. Lake Cynon is the safe haven survivors can be guided to; steering an NPC there generally means completing their questline / Good Deed and giving them the direction to go. Because outcomes hinge on choices and completed side content, do every Good Deed (Man of the People) and resolve NPC threads before the story locks their fates. If unsure, keep a save before the final act.
