Introduction:
Welcome to the DARQ Trophy Guide!
Award winning horror puzzle indie sensation DARQ by Unfold Games is now available on PS4! This brilliant game was an utter joy to play, I highly recommend it to you all.
DARQ takes you on a boys journey through his dreams that quickly turn into nightmares, each chapter sinks you deeper into his lucid subconscious-driven dreams. Lloyd has to adapt to the new world, re-learn gravity, strain all of his senses and mind in order to solve puzzles and sneak past the strange creatures lurking in every DARQ corner of his mind..
Trophy wise, I have given this game a 4.5 difficulty simply because of 4 quite tricky speedrun trophies. The rest of the trophies and game you can complete with relative ease, but I’ve had to ramp it up because of these 4 quite tricky and tight trophies. Also time-wise when I tested this guide I got the platinum in 1 hour 17 minutes, but I’ve added a little time to the estimate above as it’s hard to tell how much practice people will need for the speedrun trophies!
Roadmap:
Step 1: Complete the game and grab the collectable from each chapter. & the 2 miscellaneous trophies.
First enjoy the game blind or use the walkthrough below to complete all chapters. Nothing is missable as there is chapter select. Make sure to grab the 6 collectable dream journal pages along the way before completing the game, there is 1 in each chapter 1-6. (There isn’t one in the finale chase chapter.)
Also along the way grab the 2 miscellaneous trophies, ‘Perceptive‘ for triggering the 3 encounters with the bag-headed boy, and ‘Off Camera‘ for completing the rotating circular maze puzzle in chapter 5 quicker than one full camera turn.
Please refer to the walkthrough or trophy guide below for more details.
In this step you will earn these trophies:

Always be running with R2. If you have made a mistake then press restart and try again. Be aware pausing the game will not pause the timer! But with a little practice you’ll get it!

 Crypt Runner Complete The Crypt under 12 minutes. |
In extra level ‘The Crypt’.
This speedrun time is more forgiving than the others. You can complete it with about 2 minutes to spare, so you can get away with a little mistake here or there. Always be running with R2, and remember to also hold the R2 run button while rolling as the head! Of course if you have made a mega mistake then just press restart and try again. Be aware pausing the game will not pause the timer! But with a little practice you’ll get it!
Do a separate playthrough of this level specifically for this speedrun trophy. Don’t try and get all the skulls and the skull trophies at the same time as they will take quite a lot more time to get.
