Challenge Runs
Four run-condition trophies. Radio Silence works on Run 1 if you switch the radio off right away. The other three stack into one New Game+ run with the chainsaw.

I Saw That Town
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
After finishing once, start a new game with New Game+ switched on and finish it with any ending.
Tip
NG+ is where the chainsaw, the Rebirth, Dog, UFO, Bliss and Stillness endings, and the Cryptic Letter memo are, so combine it with the speed and no-guns trophies.
Radio Silence
SilverFull guideCollapse
Complete the game without using the radio.
Radio Silence
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
The radio turns itself on when you pick up the Wooden Plank in the first enemy scene. Straight away, open the inventory, select the radio and switch it off, then never turn it back on. Switching it off before the fight doesn't break the trophy.
Tip
Turn on the visual radio indicator in Accessibility so you still get warned about nearby enemies.

Finish the game in under 10 hours.
Faster Than Fog
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Finish a run in under 10 hours of in-game time. Cutscenes count; the pause menu stops the timer, but the inventory and map don't.
Tip
Easiest in NG+: you know the route and can skip cutscenes. Focused NG+ runs take 4–6 hours. The old trick of going past 24 hours to reset the clock was fixed in patch 1.06.

Finish a run with no kills from the handgun, shotgun or rifle. Shooting puzzle objects is fine.
Tip
Do it in NG+ with the chainsaw from the ranch at the start. It one-shots normal enemies and handles the bosses in a few hits.
