Outlast 2
Outlast 2 is the sequel to the acclaimed survival horror game Outlast. Set in the same universe as the first game, but with different characters and a different setting, Outlast 2 is a twisted new journey into the depths of the human mind and its dark secrets. No conflict is ever black and white.

Trophies

Unlock all other trophies to earn the Platinum trophy.
Born Again
Finish the game
Unlocked automatically through story progression.
Sanctified
Finish the game in Hard Mode
Enemies have sharper senses and deal heavier damage, but checkpoint and battery mechanics remain largely standard.
Preacher
Finish the game in Nightmare Mode
Batteries and bandages are severely restricted, and enemies generally kill in one hit. Conserve your sprint stamina and rely on quick pulses of night vision rather than leaving it on.
Saint
Finish the game in Insane Mode
Features Nightmare difficulty rules with permadeath and no checkpoints. Extensively practice chase routes and chokepoints on Nightmare before attempting a run.
Prophet [Missable]
Finish the game without hiding in a barrel or closet
Missable! Interacting with even a single barrel or locker immediately invalidates the trophy for that run. Hide under beds, in tall grass, or break line of sight around terrain instead.
Messiah [Missable]
Finish the game in Insane Mode without reloading the camera battery
Missable! Combine an Insane permadeath run with zero battery reloads. Maximize your display brightness or gamma in settings and memorize navigation routes so you can progress entirely in the dark without night vision.
Asahel [Missable]
Finish the game in under 4 hours
Missable! Skip every cutscene and ignore collectibles to finish comfortably under three hours. Pausing the game does not stop the timer, so quit out to the main menu if you need to take a break.
What God Has Joined [Hidden]
Find Lynn
Unlocked automatically through story progression.
Babylon [Hidden]
See the distant mines where Lynn is captive
Unlocked automatically through story progression.
Hang in there, Baby [Hidden]
Escape the crucifixion
Unlocked automatically through story progression.
Be Thou Clean [Hidden]
Escape from the Scalled
Unlocked automatically through story progression.
Golgatha [Hidden]
Reach the mine facility
Unlocked automatically through story progression.
Sancti Sepulchri [Hidden]
Descend into the mines

Let No Man Put Asunder [Hidden]

Heal the Sick [Hidden]
Use 10 bandages
Cumulative across playthroughs. Can be farmed quickly by taking intentional damage from environmental hazards or minor enemies before healing.
Thoroughly Baptized [Hidden]
Spend 10 minutes underwater
Cumulative time across playthroughs. Repeatedly submerge in any safe body of water and resurface to catch your breath before drowning.
Them That Hath Ears [Hidden]
Use the microphone for 20 minutes
Turn on the directional microphone and idle in a secure spot. Because this rapidly drains power, it is best tackled on lower difficulties where spare batteries are plentiful.
Slip and Slide [Missable] [Hidden]
Perform a twelve-meter blood slide
Missable! During the blood-flooded hallway chase inside the school, sprint forward and press the crouch button to initiate a slide down the corridor.
Proper Penance [Hidden]
Crawl for 500 meters
Cumulative distance across all runs. Can easily be farmed by crawling around in circles inside any quiet safe zone.
