Hidden trophies and their cryptic descriptions, confusing objectives, and disappearing Lagniappes are just a few reasons to play through Alone in the Dark multiple times. They may be for the wrong reasons, but there’s nothing more satisfying than finally hitting platinum.
Here is how to unlock all trophies and achievements in Alone in the Dark.
All trophies and achievements in Alone in the Dark
There are 38 achievements to unlock in Alone in the Dark. While that may not seem like much, you learn the hard way that unlocking every trophy requires at least three playthroughs. Many trophies are hidden, and even when they’re revealed, you don’t know what you did to get them. But don’t worry because we’ve got you covered. We didn’t spend hours on this game just to leave you…alone…in the dark.

Alone in the Dark: How long will it take to find all trophies?
A lot of trophies are unlockable within your first playthrough, especially if you know what to look out for. Things get rather difficult if you want to get all Lagniappe sets and witness every ending, however. In its current state, Alone in the Dark is quite bugged. Therefore, it’ll likely take you somewhere between 12 to 16 hours to fully complete this game. Sometimes, your Lagniappe don’t carry over into the next playthrough, or your newly unlocked secret objectives for a new ending simply disappear.
There is a way around the Lagniappe bug if you end up experiencing it (meaning that your sets don’t carry over playthroughs). Manually save in your first playthrough at Chapter five: The End. Then, exit the game and start a new one with the other character. Note whether your Lagniappe have carried over. If not, manually save on Chapter one: Derceto, exit, and reload into The End. Exit once more, and return to your new save file where your Lagniappe sets should be present.
