36 Fragments of Midnight is a simple platforming game in which you play as a little white cube who must collect golden fragments (stars) scattered around the world. Each time you restart the world will be randomly generated, meaning there is no right or wrong way to complete the game. There is a mixture of collection, speedrun and death related trophies in this game. Nothing is overly complicated and with a little patience and learning of the game mechanics, everyone should be able to get a new in their collection.

Step 1 – Die by Saw, Lasers and Spikes

First off, you need to die a lot. This sounds silly but you are best off getting the dying trophies out of the way, before starting your long fragment runs. There are 3 'death by X' related trophies in this game.

In this step you will earn:

Stunned
Cut in half
Squared Unicorn

Step 2 – Collect All 36 Fragments + Speed Run Under 6 Minutes

In this step, you want to begin by collecting 18 fragments and then 36 fragments whilst completing these tasks under both 10 and 6 minutes. It really isn't that hard but you should have an understanding of how the game works in order to fly through trap sections.

I completed the 6-minute speed run in 5:54. It can be tight in some cases but doable.

In this step you will earn:

Only the half left

The fastest one

Step 3 – Die with Fragments (1, 35 and 36)

In this step, you’re going to want to collect a certain number of fragments and then die. You will need to repeat this process 3 times; 1 fragment, 35 fragments, and 36 fragments. You must have the amount in the trophy description for them to unlock, no more and no less. Staying alive will be the name of the game after this step!

In this step you will earn:

That IS bad luck

Step 3.5 – The Clean-up

You may need to clean-up any trophies you may have missed or decided to skip the early steps. After this, you will have a shiny new platinum in your collection.

In this step you will earn:

Platinum Midnight

The greatest gift

Get 36 fragments
Simply collect all 36 star fragments in a level. There are only 36. Once you have collected them all (there is a counter in-game) you must return to the place in which you started.
Only the half left

Get 18 fragments
Simply collect 18 of the 36-star fragments in a level. There are only 36 in total so this will unlock at the halfway mark. There is an in-game counter, to help track your progress.
The fastest one

Get 36 fragments in less than 6 Min
This is certainly the most challenging trophy in the game but once you understand the basics of the game and how it works it is more than doable.

My advice to you is:
- Be aware of what level your starting position is on so that you can return quickly once you have collected your 36-star fragments.
- Understand how the double jump mechanic works so you can dodge low-hanging traps and star fragments placed over spikes.
- Don't rush constantly as that is how mistakes are made, often silly ones.
Stuned

Die by a laser
Lasers are the white lines scattered around the levels. These are often located next to a small danger sign (white exclamation point) to let you know they're there. Jump into it to die.
Cutted in half

Die by a saw
Saw blades can be found in multiple areas and can be static, travelling along a set path or dangling from the ceiling. Hit one to die.
Squared unicorn

Die by a spike
Spike can be found in multiple areas and are usually found on the floor, on ceilings or in spike pits. Jump into one to die.
At least you tried

Die with only 1 fragments
Pick up a single star fragment, then die. Find either a saw blade, spike or lasers nearby but don't collect any other star fragments.
So close

Die with 35 fragments
Collect 35 out of 36 fragments, then jump into one of the traps.
That IS bad luck

Die with 36 fragments
With all the fragments collected, it's just a case of finding your starting position and returning. Except for this trophy, you need to die before reaching that point. Find a trap jump and in it, then the trophy will pop.
Super fast

Get 36 fragments in less than 10 Min
Collect all 36-star fragments in less than 10 minutes.

See The fastest one for more information.
Baby steps

Get 1 fragments
There is usually a star fragment at the start of each level so pick this up and the trophy will pop.
