Walkthrough:

Step 1 - Complete the game once with Red Ending without using any Mirrors or Flares

First of all, trophies in this game do not unlock as soon as you fulfill the requirements for them. You must go to your room and sleep, which will save the game and only then you will unlock any trophies you’ve earned thus far.

When you start a new game you will be given two choices. Choose the first one to play on Normal Mode. Complete the game and do everything listed under Demolished Man to get the Red Ending. If you didn’t get the Red Ending, load your last save and keep doing stuff listed there until you get it.

This playthrough should take between 3-5 hours depending on your speed. Check your in-game map often and you shouldn’t have any problems. The Map shows you where to go, which ways you can take and can’t.

Do not use any Dusty Mirrors during this step. Dusty Mirrors act as teleporters in this game and return you back to your apartment. For the Grounded trophy, you must not use any of the mirrors. If you happen to use one, quit the game and continue from your last save.

Also you can’t use any more than 1 Rotting Meats, which is needed to get past the first enemy, or any Flares during this playthrough, which means you have to kill every single monster you face, if you have no other means to proceed. This will help you achieve "Red Ending" though, so it’s a good idea to kill any monsters you face anyway. Don't forget to shoot the Writhing Thing in the basement for Paranoid trophy and claim to know the Man in Blue when asked later on for Schizophrenic during this playthrough.

Don’t get upset if you can’t unlock any trophies, a majority of the trophies will unlock during next step(s).

Step 2 - Start a New Game on Expert Mode for White Ending

Once you complete the game, you can start your next playthrough, which acts essentially as New Game+. You won’t keep anything from your last playthrough but you will get extra items and have extra scenes.

Once you start the game choose to overwrite your save and when asked choose “I know my way around.” this time to start on Expert Mode. In Expert Mode, there will be no notifications and you will not be able to use any maps.

You also can’t use your handgun at all during this step. All enemies can be ignored, sneaked past or moved out of the way during early stages of the game. Once you get Flares, it will be a lot easier as well.

During this playthrough, assuming it's your second one, try to give Sleepy Cat Plush in your kitchen to every character you find. Not only you will receive some special new items but it's also needed for one of the endings.

During this step, try to keep “You”s mental health as high as possible. You can follow this walkthrough for the White Ending, along with Pacifist and Expert. It is my personal White Ending playthrough and you should get it if you follow it closely, it can also help you with getting almost all other trophies.

Step 3 - Load your last save and complete the game for Green Ending

Once you complete the game and get the White Ending, select Continue on main menu. If you followed the walkthrough provided here, you should get the Green Ending when you reach the room inside the Hospital.

Step 4 - Load your last save and complete the game for Blue Ending

Same as previous step, select Continue from the main menu. Upload your save to Cloud and do everything listed under Old Man and Demolished Man, before you head to the hospital. They should be enough for you to get the Blue Ending. But if your ending is Green, keep doing them for a little longer. If the ending is Red, download your save from Cloud and do them less this time.

Please check this walkthrough for details.

Step 5 - Start a New Game for Yellow Ending

For the Yellow Ending you must have finished the game at least once and tried to give the Sleepy Cat Plush you find in your apartment to every character you can find in the game on your second playthrough. If you did all that, you will get a new picture when you start your third new playthrough.

Please check this walkthrough for details.

Simply try to give the plush to Chie again during that new playthrough to finish the game with a Yellow Ending.

Step 6 - Clean up

You shouldn’t have any trophies left at this point, but if you do start a new game and earn them. It shouldn’t take more than 2 or 3 hours to complete the game when you know your way around.

Printable Guide
Show completed trophies
Show secret trophies

37 trophies ( 15  18  32  )

  • Collect all Lone Survivor: Director's Cut trophies

    You’ve endured all and survived this hellish nightmare… Or have you?

  • Complete the game without using a mirror to travel

    Mirrors are like teleporters in this game. When you use a mirror, it will teleport you back to your apartment. When you use the mirror in your apartment, you will teleport back to the last mirror you’ve used.

    For the trophy, you mustn’t use any mirrors throughout the game. This means, you’ll have to walk all the way back to your apartment whenever you need to. Attempt it on your Red Ending playthrough. It will be easier as you need to kill as much enemies as possible during that playthrough. You also won’t be able to eat and sleep regularly, which will also affect Lone Survivor’s mental health negatively and is useful for Red Ending.

  • Complete the game using one piece of rotting meat and no flares

    As it says in description, you can’t use any flares for this trophy and you can only use one piece of rotting meat, which is needed to get past the first enemy just outside your apartment.

    You have to depend on your handgun for this playthrough and kill any enemy you can’t get past otherwise. Killed enemies will stay that way and won’t bother you again. As with the previous trophy, attempt it while you are aiming for Red Ending. If you need ammo, swallow Blue Pills and sleep to get more ammo or give them to Hank at the Gun Store when you get out of apartment complex for a clip.

  • Complete the game without firing a single shot

    Sneak past monsters, lure them using rotting meat pieces or use flares when you get them. You can finish the game without shooting or killing a single enemy.

    If you need more flares, you can trade your handgun ammo with The Director. He will give you 3 flares for each clip (10 bullets).

    Please check this walkthrough for your Pacifist run.

  • Complete the game in Expert Mode

    When you start a new game you will be asked a question. Answer “I know my way around” to start on Expert Mode.

    Expert Mode is not that much more difficult than Normal Mode. Enemies and Lone Survivor have the same amount of health and they deal same amount of damage. Lone Survivor gets sleepy or hungry at the same rate. Only difference is that there won’t be any indications during gameplay and you won’t be able to check your maps whenever you want.

    Please check this walkthrough to find out where to go and what to do.

 

Secret trophies

  • Combine ten types of food

    There are several food items for Lone Survivor to consume and survive. Some of these food items can be combined to increase their effect. You must open Lone Survivor’s inventory, choose one of the items, select Combine and use the other food item to combine them into new food.

    Unfortunately, there aren’t enough items that can be combined on your first playthrough. You must be on your second playthrough to get enough items to combine. Also Lone Survivor’s mental health must be high to be able to get/cook some of these items.

    Please check New Man for more details on how to keep mental health high.

    Please check Fast Food Chef for more details on another combinable food item.

    Other combinable food items include, must be combined in that order for whatever reason:

    • Sliced Cheese + Cheese Crackers -> Cheese ‘N’ Crackers
    • Irradiated Orange + Fruit Salad -> Special Fruit Salad
    • Fruit Salad + Rice Pudding -> Fruit Rice Pudding
    • Fruit Salad OR Irradiated Orange + Hot Rice Pudding -> Hot and Fruity Rice Pudding
    • Steamed Ham + Warm Beans -> HAM’N’BEANS
    • Steamed Ham + Tin of Pickles -> HAM’N’PICKLES


    Note that you won’t be able to get all listed items, as there aren’t many of the same items that are needed as ingredients.

    You can check this walkthrough to see how or when you can get the required items/food.

  • Cook five types of food

    There are only 6 types of food that can be cooked in the game. Some of these items require Lone Survivor to have a high mental health.

    Food Lone Survivor can cook and items he needs:

    • Tin of Beans -> Warm Beans - Can Opener and Saucepan,
    • Rice Pudding -> Hot Rice Pudding - Saucepan,
    • Delicious Ham -> Steamed Ham - Cooking Pot (High Mental Health),
    • Instant Ramen -> Cooked Ramen - Kettle and Bottle of Water,
    • Rat -> Fried Rat - Saucepan,
    • Burger Patty -> Grilled Burger - Frying Pan (Special item - only on second playthrough, after fulfilling special conditions)


    Please check Fast Food Chef for Burger Patty.

    Instant Ramen is found randomly inside a box in the supermarket.

    Lone Survivor must kill a Rat that can be seen at several places before it can be cooked. This will reduce his mental health drastically.

  • Eat a Steamed Ham after combining it with another food

    There are only 2 Delicious Hams throughout the game, first of which can be found rather early in the game, while the other requires a high mental health.

    If you are on your Pacifist run and aiming for White Ending, you won’t be able to cook the first ham and you should have high mental health to be able to get the second one near the end of the game.

    Whichever one you decide to cook and get a Steamed Ham, you must first have a high mental state during your first encounter with The Director. If you do, he will give you a Cooking Pot along with a Saucepan. You need a Cooking Pot to be able to cook the ham.

    Once you cook the ham, either combine it with Warm Beans (acquired after cooking Tin of Beans) or Tin of Pickles to get HAM’N’BEANS or HAM’N’PICKLES respectively. You will get the trophy once you eat it and go to sleep.

  • Eat You's favourite food

    You’s favourite food is the ULTIMATE CHEESEBURGER.

    To be able to get it, you must be on your second playthrough. Not only that but you must also have high mental health. In addition to all that, you must also try to give Sleeping Cat Plush, which you can find in your kitchen, to every person you see in the game to receive certain items.

    Items you’ll receive:

    • Lettuce Leaves from Benzido in Chie’s Apartment
    • Sliced Cheese (found randomly in supply box in the supermarket)
    • Frying Pan from The Director in Apartment 204 (only after you received ESP)
    • Burger Bun from Hank in Gun Store (only after you gave him all Health Tonics)
    • Burger Patty from The Man Who Wears a Box during Green Dreams
    • Tin of Pickles (found in bedroom in Apartment 206)


    Once you get all those items, cook a Burger Patty and combine it with Burger Bun to get Hamburger. Keep combining other items to get You’s favourite food. Eat it and go to sleep to unlock the trophy. It boosts Lone Survivor’s mental health a lot.

    Note that this item counts towards Fusion Chef trophy and you will most likely unlock it thanks to this.

  • Eat ten kinds of food

    Lone Survivor needs to consume food in certain periods to survive. There are more than 10 types of food in the game, both good and bad for Lone Survivor. Simply consume 10 of them to unlock the trophy.

    Note that cooked and uncooked versions of foods count as separate items, as well as combined food. Even though you can’t get every version as there aren't enough items to cook or combine, there are more than enough types of food to earn the trophy.

    You can unlock this trophy on your first playthrough.

    Food items include:

    • Fruit Drops (from The Director, requires high mental health)
    • Squid on a Stick (lowers mental health)
    • Tin of Pickles
    • Tin of Beans -> Warm Beans
    • Irradiated Orange
    • Fruit Salad -> Special Fruit Salad
    • Fruit Rice Pudding <- Rice Pudding -> Hot Rice Pudding -> Hot and Fruity Rice Pudding

    • Tin of Cat Food (lowers mental health drastically)

    • Every version between Hamburger and ULTIMATE CHEESEBURGER
  • Drink three cups of coffee, no more than once a day

    Please check Barista for more details.

  • Drink three cups of espresso, no more than once a day

    To make coffee or espresso, you need to get some items first.

    You will find a Bucket on the first floor of the apartment complex in one of the rooms. You must place that bucket under the water leak inside the bedroom of Apartment 206 to be able to get 3 bottles of water per day.

    You also need an empty bottle, which can only be acquired by drinking a bottle of milk. You shouldn’t drink another one though because it’s spoiled and affects Lone Survivor’s mental health negatively, in addition to lowering his physical health.

    To actually brew the coffee or espresso, you need a Kettle and Moka Pot respectively. Both of which can be gotten from The Director when you meet him for a second time. You must have high mental health for the Moka Pot though.

    After you have all these items, you can brew coffee or espresso powders you find during exploration. 3 powders of instant coffee and 2 powders of ground espresso is needed to make 1 cup of each.

    Simply drink only 1 cup of coffee OR espresso for 3 consecutive days to unlock the trophies.

  • Eat five fruit drops, no more than once a day

    You will be given 30 fruit drops when you meet with The Director for a second time, if you have a high mental health.

    Simply eat only 1 fruit drop per day for 5 consecutive days to unlock the trophy. Eating 1 per day increases Lone Survivor’s mental health, on the other hand consuming more than 1 lowers his mental health instead. You can and should continue eating after earning the trophy to keep Lone Survivor's mental health high.

  • Drink a Chilled Can Of Soda

    Please check Soda Jerk for details.

  • Drink a Chilled Mexican Cola

    You must be on your second playthrough to be able to get chilled versions of these drinks.

    You can find Can of Soda in several places during exploration. You will get Mexican Cola from Kenny if you offer him Sleepy Cat Plush.

    To actually chill the drinks, you also need to complete the "Adopting a Cat" optional quest and offer Sleepy Cat Plush to your adopted cat for a special key. This key will unlock a door in hospital just before the end of the game and you will find a liquid nitrogen tank inside. Use this tank to chill the drinks and drink them right after.

    Please check Friend to the Fauna for more details on the "Adopting a Cat" optional quest.

  • Attempt to talk to The Man Who Wears A Box five times

    When you start the game, you will see The Man Who Wears a Box on the second screen. Attempt to talk to him 5 times until he advises you to drink the espresso on the table and you will unlock the trophy later.

  • Read all the diary pages

    There are only 3 diary pages, that can be found early in the game, in different locations. Simply pick them up, open your inventory, go to third category and choose to read them. It appears the diary pages are not enough though and I'm not sure which ones actually count, so read all notes you can find, listed below. They can be found on your way to Chie's Apartment and you don't have to go out of your way to find them.

    You will unlock the trophy when you read them all and go to sleep.

    • Diary Page 1 can be found in kitchen of your apartment.
    • Letter can be found attached to Wing Court Map, 2F just outside your apartment.
    • Crumpled Old Note 1 can be found inside a bedroom in Apartment 205, just before the tunnel section.

    • Diary Page 2 can be found in bathroom inside Apartment 206’s bedroom.
  • Give away a Delicious Ham

    At some point in the game, you will find some pills and instructions in Apartment 206’s bedroom. Read the instructions and Lone Survivor will mark a new location in Apartment 205.

    When you go there you will find a can opener and a fridge, which contains the Delicious Ham.

    When you go back to Chie’s place later, move past it and enter Apartment 202 instead. There you will find a hook in front of a door. Use the ham while standing in front of the hook to distract the monster in the room next door.

    You will unlock the trophy when you go to sleep.

  • See both versions of the dancing dream

    You will have a cutscene showing the Man in Blue in a room while you are exploring the streets, it will be inside the building past Gun Store. When he asks if you know him, choose whichever answer you want (preferably the first one if you are going for Red Ending and second for White/Green Ending). When you start a new game, choose the other answer.

  • Witness all five Green Dreams

    To witness five Green Dreams, you must swallow a Green Pill before you go to sleep.

    You will receive health, food items or batteries on random when you wake up, depending on which you need most. If you don't need any of those things, you won't get anything.

    If you run out of Green Pills, you can find an endless supply of them in Apartment 206's bathroom, where you find Diary Page 2. You must use all the green pills you currently have to be able to get some more though.

  • Witness all five Blue Dreams

    To witness Blue Dreams, swallow a Blue Pill before you go to sleep.

  • Muso

     

    Listen to your Personal Stereo

    You will get a Personal Stereo from The Director during your final meeting just before final boss, if you have high mental health and if you inspected Picadilly Records’ window in the streets.

  • Talk to your fully-adopted cat five times

    Please check Friend to the Fauna for more details.

    “Chuck” the Plant is a plant, that is growing just outside of Apartment 206.

    To feed Chuck, you must find a bucket and place it under the water leak in the bedroom and drink a bottle of milk to get an empty bottle. The Bucket will provide you with 3 bottles of water per day.

    Simply fill the bottle, open your flashlight and interact with Chuck. Choose to give him water and you will unlock the trophy when you go to sleep.

  • Feed all five tins of cat food to your cat

    To feed your cat with cat food, you'll have to find 5 issues of Sleepy Cat Comics in the city and bring them back to The Director first. He will give you cat food for every issue you bring him. When you have them, you have to interact with the stray cat and feed him.

    You will find the cat in front of the hospital for the first time. Approach him by slowly tapping the directional button. Stop if you see him change his posture to not scare him off. When you reach him, talk to him and give him one of the tins of cat food.

    Your second encounter will be just outside of your apartment complex, left of the fire exit and door. Approach him slowly as before and feed another tin of cat food.

    Get back to your apartment and use a tin of cat food in front of the fire exit door. The Cat will come inside, where you can name and finally adopt him. He will stay in your room from now on, feed him remaining two tins of cat food for the trophy. Also talk to him 5 times for Pet Lover trophy. You should talk to him and pet him daily as it positively affects Lone Survivor’s mental health.

    If you happen to scare him off, just wait for another day and try again.

  • Escape from The Daddy without using your flashlight

    During last section of the basement, you will need to activate an elevator to clear the main lobby. After you activated and pushed its call button, you will need to escape from The Daddy.

  • Defeat Mother without shooting or flares

    Mother is the game’s last boss. You will face it after you go through a crashed bus.

    You just need to stay alive and run around for a few minutes and it will go away on its own. Start by heading left when you start. When you reach the bars, wait for it to screech and wind up its razor arms. This is your opportunity to get to right side under its legs. Keep running left and right, pass to other side while it’s winding up and it will eventually go slowly to right side, leaving you alone.
