End of Abyss has 44 trophies on PlayStation (1 platinum, 3 gold, 12 silver, 28 bronze) and 43 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore on Xbox and Epic. The platinum takes about 15–20 hours in one playthrough, and every area stays open after the credits. The one real trap is cheat codes: switching any code on permanently disables trophies on that save. Also beat the final boss once before delivering the Data Shards so you get both ending trophies on one save.
Trophy overview
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| PlayStation trophies | 44: 1 platinum, 3 gold, 12 silver, 28 bronze |
| Xbox and Epic achievements | 43, worth 1,000 Gamerscore / XP |
| Hidden trophies | 26 of 44 (mostly story bosses and areas) |
| Missable | None by story; cheat codes lock trophies on that save |
| Playthroughs needed | 1 |
| Time to platinum | About 15–20 hours |
| Difficulty setting | None, so nothing is difficulty-locked |
Rarity is extremely low so far: on PSNProfiles the platinum and most collectible silvers sat at about 0.1% in the first week, and on Epic only around 23% of players had opened a Vault. Weapon-upgrade achievements were bugged at launch and were fixed in update 1.016 on October 10.
The one mistake to avoid: cheat codes
Nothing in the story is missable: every boss, Vault, shard and collectible can still be reached after the credits. The danger is the six cheat codes. You read them with the Cryptograph, the Scanner upgrade behind a Level III Access door in the Lower Levels, and turning on any code permanently disables trophies and achievements on that save. Scanning a code is safe and counts towards Cryptographer.
Some trophy guides also list Second Sight (upgrade the Scanner) as missable if Logbook codes are redeemed before the Cryptograph. The safe rule covers both: scan codes, never switch one on in your trophy save. Code locations: cheat codes guide.
Story and boss trophies

| You Did It | Gold | Finish the game with the normal ending |
| The End | Gold | Finish the game with the secret ending |
Every boss strategy is in the boss guide, and the route between them is in the walkthrough.
Getting both ending trophies on one save
- Beat the Fractured Being without delivering any Data Shards. You get You Did It.
- Load the post-game save and collect all eight Data Shards for Defragmented.
- Deliver them to the Mainframe on Lower Levels B3.
- Beat the Fractured Being again for the secret ending and The End.
If you deliver all eight shards before your first kill, that kill gives the secret ending and you lose the normal-ending trophy on that save. Shard locations: secret ending guide.
Optional bosses, weapons and upgrades

|---|---|---|
| Exterminator | Bronze | Defeat the Brood Keeper (Ventilation Tunnels) |
| Dweller Dislikes Smoke | Silver | Defeat the Morgue Dweller (Infirmary B1) |
| Don't Come Back | Silver | Defeat the Husk Centipede a second time (Reactor B5) |
| Fallen Crew | Bronze | Find the Support Gun |

| Fully Suited Up | Silver | Reach maximum Suit Power |
| Vault Entry | Bronze | Unlock your first Vault |
| Dungeon Crawler | Silver | Unlock all Vaults |
Super Power needs all 20 Complex Alloy, 6 Weapon Modules and the Laser Charging Module; see best upgrades and weapon locations. Vaults and Energy Cells are in the Suit Mods guide.
Collectible and exploration trophies
| Trophy | Grade | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Defragmented | Silver | Find all eight Data Shards |
| Zoologist | Silver | Scan all creatures |
| Archivist | Silver | Scan all notes |
| Cryptographer | Silver | Scan all codes |
| Completionist | Gold | Fill the Logbook: creatures, notes, Data Shards and codes |
| Master Explorer | Silver | Visit every room on the map |
| Shuttle Network Restored | Bronze | Activate all Shuttle Stations |
| Burn Them All | Bronze | Destroy every Parasitic Growth with the Incinerator |
| Battle Tested | Bronze | Clear all Lockdown Encounters |
| Waste Management | Bronze | Drain the Reactor pool |

Master Explorer and Completionist are where most runs stall. Use the map's room completion percentage per area, and remember update 1.014 adds unique enemies to the Logbook automatically when you defeat them. Update 1.016 fixed Ventilation map completion getting stuck below 100%. Hidden rooms: all secrets.
Combat trophies
| Trophy | Grade | How to unlock | Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Well Done | Bronze | Throw a grenade into a Lurker's mouth | Wait for it to open its mouth, then tap-throw |
| Triple-Kill | Bronze | Kill three enemies with one grenade | Easiest on splitting Husks in a corridor |
| Kill It With Fire | Bronze | Set a Head Crawler on fire | Needs the Incinerator |
| Focused | Silver | Kill several enemies with one Security Rifle shot | Line enemies up in a corridor; the round pierces |
| Crate Destruction | Bronze | Break 50 crates | Comes naturally; crates also drop Fragments since 1.016 |
Recommended route to the platinum
- Play the story to the normal ending, picking up weapons, Energy Cells, Vault Keys and scans along the way. Scan codes but never switch one on.
- From the post-game save, collect the eight Data Shards, deliver them and beat the final boss again for The End.
- Sweep collectibles: all weapons and upgrade materials, Vault mods, all Shuttle Stations and the four Logbook categories.
- Finish chores: Lockdown Encounters, Parasitic Growths, the three optional bosses and any unvisited rooms for Master Explorer.
The last third is mostly backtracking with late tools. For the time breakdown, see how long to beat.
