Roadmap: build counters while playing the story
Story and boss spoilers below. The PS5 route reports no missable trophies and allows cleanup after the story, with one story playthrough normally sufficient. Platform-specific unlock problems can still occur; this is not a guarantee for every patch or save.
- Invest in Burst early. Find the unmarked Garage shutter beside the motorcycle near Bessie Burger. Upgrade charging and purchase capacity so 100 Burst activations do not become an isolated final grind.
- Follow the story and collect along the way. Open chests, eat weak and elite cores, choose gift and boss-material reward layers, claim Wishlist rewards and develop OT parts when you return.
- Work on growth milestones. Raise five Instant Adaptations and five Style Syncs to level 5. Aim for character level 100 and switching between five Styles within one dive when your progress supports it.
- Use postgame for cleanup. Speak to Everent after the story and enter Hollow through the toilet entrance. Combine skipped-layer progress, Burst uses and missing database encounters.
Prepare the OT preset trophy
For I’m Getting Worked Like a Dog, first prepare a second OT configuration at Ink on the Brain in the mall. During a later dive, reach a transfer area and ask Acelino to switch to the other preset. Merely editing one set of gear in the mall is not the same task.
All 50 trophies and achievements
Use the table filter to find a name or task. Menu buttons below follow the PS5 reference route; on Steam, follow your current input prompts.
| Trophy / achievement | What to do |
|---|---|
| See? Stupid Never Dies | Collect the other 49 trophies; Steam has a corresponding all-achievements entry. |
| Good, You're Still Functional | Complete the first dive and return to the mall. |
| Goyle Has Something for You | Reach the story event in which Goyle shows the recovered data. |
| You...N...Not Bad… | Reach the first Hyper-Hot-Hot-Gaia-Inflamer-Explosion event. |
| How Could a Mere Zombie... | Defeat Surtr R.S., one of the four generals. |
| Bring Back Some of That Blood | Reach the event in which Count Vlad’s blood revives the rose. |
| What Are Those? Souvenirs? | Collect the three story relics and complete the hand-in. |
| Not Bad at All, Zombie... | Defeat Duke Dragul the Impaler. |
| Forgive Me for Attacking You | Free Everent from Takiyasha’s curse. |
| Sleep in Fear, My Dear... | Defeat Takiyasha-Hime. |
| That Should Be Plenty | Collect and deliver 30 Miasma Saplings during the story task. |
| I Acknowledge Your Strength | Defeat Wolfgang Werner Winfried. |
| I Mighta Seen Her on My Way | Find Julia in the dungeon and continue the objective. |
| Your Assignment Is Complete | Complete the story task for five Brain Cores. |
| Make Sure to Eat Them All | Recover the Brain Core held by Dullahan, separately from the five-core task. |
| Our First Date, After All | Finish the finale, eat KOM and restore Julia to human form. |
| Main Job Still...Burger Shop | Buy a menu upgrade at Bessie Burger to unlock a Zombie Skill. |
| Go an' Bring Back Lots of Meat | Make 10 Receipt-rarity upgrades at Burger; these can be spread across different Receipts. |
| I'll Help, but I'd Rather Not | Develop 100 recovered OT parts at Ink on the Brain. |
| Quite the Scent You Have | Dismantle spare parts at Ink and obtain 1,000 scrap in total. Keep parts needed by your builds. |
| No Idea if It'll Help | After modification unlocks, modify a part at Ink. The PS5 menu route uses Touchpad, then R1 twice. |
| The Greatest Mind on Earth | Complete Frank’s database and check the Jupiter Target computer. If Phoenix is missing, try a KOM summon or a Hollow encounter. |
| Perfect for Your Pace | Ride the mall cleaning cart for 10 minutes in total. PS5 reference: D-pad Left to board, Up to leave. |
| Maybe It's the Power of Love | Give Julia 30 different gifts. Use gift reward layers, chests and Wishlist rewards; duplicate copies do not replace different kinds. |
| Giblet Gelato Will Be Served | Use boss materials at Mino Ice Cream to fully upgrade one base ability. |
| So...Cute... | Like recovered data 10 times at the Kitsch Monster tablet. The PS5 route reports that repeated likes on the same entry count. |
| DJ...Hype It Up... | Add a Remix to the playlist at the Kitsch mixing desk, then enter the dungeon and fight. |
| I'll Make It Worth Your Time | Claim and complete 50 Wishlist tasks at Shutter Shop. Plan for 50 even if the trophy triggers early. |
| Keep Our Deal a Secret, Yeah? | Acquire a new Teddy, then equip it from the Kitsch mixing desk’s Teddy page; PS5 uses R1 for that tab. |
| I'll Share My Excess Parts | Collect Miasma Saplings on higher-difficulty layers and exchange them with Everent at Jupiter Target for 10 keys. The route uses 10 saplings per key. |
| This Is No Game, Rest Assured | After the story, speak to Everent and enter Everent Hollow through the toilet entrance. Clearing 100 floors is not required for this trophy. |
| I'm Getting Worked Like a Dog | Prepare a second OT preset at Ink in the mall, then switch to that preset with Acelino in a dungeon transfer area. |
| Gettin' the Hang...of It...? | Spend 10,000 E in total at Bessie’s dungeon Boost Pit. This is separate from permanent mall upgrades. |
| You're Pretty Good | Max out an upgrade at the unmarked Garage shutter beside Bessie Burger’s motorcycle. Burst charging is a useful choice. |
| Here's My Parting Gift | Open 100 root-like spherical chests. Check near layer exits and along your route. |
| So I'm, Like, Invincible? | Reach character level 100 in one dive. This is not Hollow floor 100 or a sum of levels across runs. |
| Huuuh... How Much Faster...? | Reach a cumulative 5,000% EXP Boost. Check the end-of-dive result rather than the current character level. |
| Though The Taste Ain't Great | Eat weak-monster cores and use their Instant Skills; raise five different Instant Adaptations to level 5. |
| S-Style...Eat...? | Eat different elite cores and use their Styles; raise five different Style Syncs to level 5. |
| Eat Cores to Seize Abilities | Eat 300 cores in total; weak-monster and elite cores both count in the route. |
| Next One, Step Right Up | Perform 100 successful Parries. PS5 uses L2; do not treat red unparryable attacks as valid attempts. |
| Can It Turn Into Anything?! | Actually switch between five different Styles in one dive. Acquiring cores without switching is not the completion cue. |
| Got Your Butt Handed to You | Trigger the animation that returns Davy to the mall in a trash bag. The PS5 route suggests falling in Surtr’s flames; an ordinary death alone is not a guaranteed trigger. |
| Thanks, Lil' Doggy | Equip and actually use five different OT Active Skills across your gear choices. The PS5 route uses left-arm / Circle skills as an example. |
| This Is the Real Me... | Choose a yellow Legendary Receipt. Burger rarity upgrades improve your opportunities, without guaranteeing a roll. |
| There Is a Time Limit | Let Teddy’s countdown expire once. This is separate from the trash-bag return condition. |
| Is It Safe...for Me to Go? | Accumulate 500 skipped layers. Postgame Everent dives let you work on this alongside Burst uses. |
| I Call These Worlds "Layers" | Select 100 layers in total. This is a different counter from skipping 500 layers. |
| This Is My Power?! | Actually activate Davy Burst 100 times. Upgrade Garage charging early and combine it with temporary Bessie boosts, Julia charge rewards, Parry and Bite. |
| All That's Required of You | Defeat 1,000 enemies in total. Continue through story and cleanup if it has not unlocked. |
Counters that are easy to confuse
Level 100 means Davy’s level in one dive. 5,000% EXP Boost is cumulative growth shown at the end of dives. 100 layers selected and 500 layers skipped are different goals. The Hollow entry trophy requires entry, not a full 100-floor clear.
For 50 Wishlist tasks, keep the platform target of 50. A PS5 route reports an unexplained early unlock at 15; that is not a dependable shortcut. For the trash-bag trophy, look for the actual return animation and platform unlock rather than assuming any boss death is sufficient.
Finish the Burst and database cleanup
For 100 Burst activations, combine permanent Garage charging upgrades with dungeon Bessie boosts, Julia’s charge rewards, Parry and Bite. Count actual activations; a filled gauge alone does not fulfill the goal. Specific claims such as “six bites per charge” depend on a particular setup and are not needed for this route.
If Frank’s database lacks Phoenix, the route suggests encounters summoned by KOM or later in Hollow. Check the Jupiter Target computer after filling the missing entry.
The optional Go Nuts / A liarla mode is reported to allow trophies, but it does not make Davy completely invincible. It is an optional aid, not a required platinum step.
