Platinum

Duskfade Achievements and Trophies: All 25 (Platinum Guide)

Every Steam achievement and PlayStation trophy, with missable warnings up front so a cleanup run does not turn into a second playthrough.

Achievement Overview and Difficulty

Story trophies pop on the main path. The real time sink is Collector, Rainbow Ingots, Music Boxes, cards, Wally, and emptying the Traveler’s shop.
