Key Trophy Requirements

Extra Credit Quests

The Extra Credit quests are optional side missions that you must complete for several trophies. You need to finish all of them for the “Escape-a-holic” trophy, making these mandatory for platinum hunters. The first Extra Credit quest you complete will unlock “A Little Something Extra,” and completing 10 will earn “This Should Help my Grades.”

Red Herrings Collection

You must find and turn in all 50 Red Herrings to Cod Stewart for the “Herring is Caring” trophy. These collectibles are scattered throughout the campus, so thorough exploration is essential.

A+ Grades in Every Room

The “Star Student” trophy requires earning an A+ grade in every escape room. This means completing each room efficiently and meeting the time or performance requirements for the highest grade.

Quanty Encounters

The “Quanty Superposition” trophy tasks you with meeting all 11 versions of Quanty across campus. Keep an eye out for this character in different locations as you explore.

Campus Unlocks

You must unlock four distinct campus areas: Science Campus, Humanities Campus, Campus Gardens, and Arts Campus. Each has its own trophy, and unlocking them all provides access to various quests and collectibles.

Trophy Hunting Tips

Most trophies will unlock naturally through story progression. The main story provides a significant portion of the trophy list, so focus on completing all main missions first.

After finishing the story, concentrate on cleanup activities. Complete all Extra Credit quests, hunt down the remaining Red Herrings, and ensure you’ve earned A+ grades in every escape room. The infirmary visit for “Tis But a Scratch” will likely happen naturally as you play.

For “Extrovert Extraordinaire,” make a point to talk to NPCs around campus regularly. With over 300 conversations required, you’ll need to engage with the campus community frequently.

The “Snap, Crackle, Pop!” trophy requires three different deaths: falling from height, jumping into lava, and getting electrocuted. Since you’ll visit the infirmary anyway, use these opportunities to knock out this trophy.

For “B- B- B- B- Busted!”, intentionally trespass in restricted areas five times. This is one of the few trophies that benefits from deliberate rule-breaking.

PlayStation vs Xbox Differences

Escape Academy 2 has 42 PlayStation trophies and 41 Xbox achievements. The difference is the PlayStation platinum trophy “Escape-dictorian,” which doesn’t exist on Xbox. All other achievements are identical between platforms.

FAQ

How long does it take to platinum Escape Academy 2? The reference material notes there’s “a lot more gameplay this time around” compared to the first game, suggesting a substantial time investment. Completing every main quest, all Extra Credit quests, finding 50 Red Herrings, and earning A+ in every room will require thorough play.

Are there any missable trophies? Based on the trophy list structure, most trophies can be obtained at any point. Story trophies unlock as you progress, and collectibles remain available after story completion. However, aim for A+ grades during your first playthrough of each room to avoid replaying content.

What counts as trespassing for B- B- B- B- Busted!? The trophy description indicates you need to get caught trespassing 5 times. Look for restricted areas marked on campus and enter them deliberately to trigger this trophy.

How do I find all Red Herrings? The game contains 50 Red Herrings scattered across campus. Explore thoroughly, check side paths, and investigate less obvious locations. Once found, turn them in to Cod Stewart.

Can I replay escape rooms for A+ grades? While the trophy list doesn’t explicitly confirm replay functionality, “Star Student” requires A+ in every escape room, suggesting grades matter for completion purposes.
