A Way Out is an action-adventure game designed to be played entirely cooperatively with a friend. Developed by the company Hazelight, the same company that made “It Takes Two”, which was the game of the year in 2021. Adventures in escaping from prison, escapes, chases and shootouts, accompanied by an emotional story and great narrative, all of this in dose pair.

Getting all the trophies/achievements is very simple. Just do some specific things in certain chapters that I will explain and demonstrate with images. Therefore, it is very important that you look at the images carefully and read the explanations.

All trophies are earned by both players or a different user, except the “Home run” trophy/achievement which must be done once with each player.

Enjoy the game as normal, but read the trophy/achievement explanation or see the image to keep in mind before progressing so you don’t miss any. The trophies are described in chronological order, that is, as you progress through the story and are separated by chapters.

It is possible to platinum the game even before finishing the campaign, but I recommend finishing the story to enjoy the game more.

*The game was played on Playstation 4 and all screenshots were captured during gameplay.

Chapter: The escape – The courtyard.

Parallels – You set a new record.

This will be your first trophy/achievement. With Leo, talk to the guy who is helping the other do parallels. Then, with Leo, do 20 repetitions in parallel on the side.

Note: it will seem impossible to do the last few repetitions, but keep trying.

Chapter: The escape – Prison escape.

Freedom – You freed someone from captivity.

You will necessarily pass through this area, as soon as you enter the house, release the bird from the cage.

Chapter: The fugitives – A break.

Time for a break – You took a break from everything.

At the beginning of this chapter, turn right and go through the passage in the image below. Both players must click square as soon as they find a “stone bench”.

Chapter: The Runaways – The farm.

Timeless Treasure – You have connected with the past.

After you change clothes at the elderly home, go to a clock shown in the image below. Both players must click square (although it does not show the square on the screen), which will open a secret door when going up the stairs, enter this secret area and interact with the chest with any character.

In sync – The music was played in harmony.

Still inside the house. You must interact with the musical instruments that are there. The piano with Vincent and the banjo with Leo. You can choose easy difficulty and click the buttons that appear at the same time as the other player.

Take a few turns – You did what the wind couldn’t.

Go to the windmill on your way out of the house. Both characters must climb to the top and one of them must press square a few times until a cutscene appears.

Chapter: Preparations – The reunion.

No cheating – You exposed someone’s infidelity.

When you arrive at the RV campground, talk to a lady who is sitting with a baseball bat in her hand. Then go to the other trailer nearby and square click on the door, then talk to the lady again and follow her.

It was you who started it – We are no longer children.

Just sit on the swing with Vincent and Leo, together.

Home run – You’re clearly good with the bat.

Still inside the camp, play baseball. Only the player with the bat will win the trophy by hitting a home run.

Note: this is a little complicated too.

Assistant Mechanic – You helped fix the bike.

How Vincent helps Leo’s wife after meeting her. He interacts with her for the first time and offers help, then she will call you and interact with her again. She will ask you to get a tool, take it and give it to her.

Chapter: Preparations – Violent interrogation.

Controlled Anger – Darkest desires have been satiated.

During the torture, drag the foreman with both characters to the edge of the surface. Leo must position himself in front of the table and press square (although it does not show the square on the screen), while Vincent can interact with the objects. After a few seconds with Leo looking at the table the screen will change, go towards the foreman and interact with him.

Chapter: Preparations – A new life.

Live the dream – “Houston, we had a problem.”

Inside the hospital, after taking the elevator. Look for this sofa and TV, turn on the TV and then both characters must sit on the sofa. After a few seconds a scene will appear and the trophy/achievement will appear.

Chapter: Revenge – Takeoff.

SOS! – You almost took flight.

After deciding which method you will use, go to the area in the image below towards the plane. Leo must interact with the helicopter and Vincent can do other things.

Escape from reality – You played video games with a friend.

I recommend leaving this trophy for last to have a cool platinum catch. Simply play arcade with Vincent and Leo.

All Exits – Obtain all trophies.
