Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy All Achievements — 36 Trophies Explained
Last verified: 2026-09-10 · Game version: Launch
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy has 36 achievements (1,000 Gamerscore on Xbox; 37 trophies on PlayStation including 1 platinum). The difficulty is low — the platinum takes about 20 hours in a single playthrough. The only real gotcha is that Resonance Points can't be topped up via chapter select.
Achievement Overview
| Category | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Story | 14 | Unlocked automatically for completing each chapter |
| Collectible | 6 | Charms / blades / artefacts / echoes / mastery branches |
| Combat | 12 | Require specific kills or actions |
| Misc | 4 | Specific scene interactions / easter eggs |
⚠️ Missables to Watch For
| Achievement | Why it's easy to miss |
|---|---|
| Like A Warrior (165 points to unlock 6 mastery branches) | ⚠️ The only permanently missable achievement: Resonance Points don't carry over via chapter select — miss 165 in one run and you must restart |
| Sea You Later (see the turtle) | Chapter 3 opening beach, opposite the main path, easy to walk straight past |
| Theater Enthusiast (watch the full puppet show) | Chapter 2 carnival — leaving early doesn't count, watch for about a minute |
All other achievements can be collected via chapter select.
1. Story Achievements (14, unlock on completion)
| Achievement | Requirement | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Blood Ties | Complete Chapter 1 | 15 |
| Felons | Complete Chapter 2 | 15 |
| Those Before Us | Complete Chapter 3 | 15 |
| From Hell It Rose | Complete Chapter 4 | 15 |

Note: Chapter 9's name is "Night Has Come", but its achievement is "Light Will Save Us" (two different names, don't confuse them). There's also the epilogue chapter What Remains (Chapter 14, no standalone achievement or collectibles).
2. Collectible Achievements (6)
| Achievement | Requirement | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Hoarder | Collect all 37 artefacts (Relics of Present & Past) | 80 |
| Plunderer | Collect all 8 blades from the Heroes' Graves | 80 |
| Superstitious | Collect all 30 charms | 80 |
| Like A Warrior | Unlock all 6 mastery branches with Resonance Points (needs 165) | 80 |
| In The Name Of My Kin | Find all 5 Theseus Echoes (the pierced-coin bowls) | 30 |
| Adaptable | At least 1 kill with every blade (including the starting Rusty Sword) | 30 |
⚠️ Like A Warrior is the only easily missed collectible achievement: Resonance Points must reach 165 within one run and can't be topped up via chapter select. See Collectibles Overview.
3. Combat Achievements (12, need deliberate setup)
| Achievement | Requirement | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Returning The Favor | Kill an archer with a thrown knife | 15 |
| Cannon Fodder | Bait a Brute into killing a soldier while enraged | 15 |
| No Holds Barred | Stagger 20 enemies with throwables | 15 |
| Overboard | Push 20 enemies off ledges/cliffs | 15 |
| They Were People | Destroy 100 petrified enemies with light | 15 |
| Sharp Enough For You? | Kill 25 enemies with critical hits | 15 |
| Skilled Maneuverer | Stagger 3 enemies at once with Echo's Return | 15 |
| Inherited Brutality | Kill 4 enemies at once with a Focus Attack | 30 |
| Untouchable | Successfully parry 6 attacks in a row | 30 |
| Excessive Force | Break a Corrupted grab with a Focus Attack | 30 |
| Refraction | Burn the creature 10 times with Light Concentrate | 30 |
| Baitfish | Lure 20 petrified enemies at once | 30 |
⚠️ Untouchable not unlocking? The counter only advances on successful parries — one missed parry or a hit taken resets the streak. The usual cause of "parries not counting" is trying to block red (unblockable) attacks: they can't be parried until you unlock Aegean Deflect, so they never add to the streak. Stick to yellow attacks and normal attacks back-to-back against a small group. See the Combat guide.
4. Misc Achievements (4, easy to miss)
| Achievement | Requirement | Points | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sea You Later! | Greet the sea turtle | 15 | Far left of the Chapter 3 opening beach — help the turtle back to the water |
| Theater Enthusiast | Watch the full carnival puppet show | 15 | Stop and watch during Chapter 2's infiltration, don't leave early |
| Close Call | Narrowly escape the creature 5 times | 30 | Cumulative |
| Unpredictable | Ditch the creature across gaps 25 times | 30 | Cumulative in the mid/late chase sections |
Platinum / Full-Achievement Route
- First run: grab every Resonance Point (target 165), collect charms/blades/artefacts as you go, score 1 kill with each new blade
- Post-game chapter select: charms, blades, artefacts and echoes are all collectible; the select screen shows progress
- Combat achievements: use chapter select to return to suitable enemy groups and deliberately set them up (e.g. Overboard at cliffs, They Were People in Chapter 13's petrified enemies)
- Misc: Sea You Later and Theater Enthusiast are the easiest to miss — watch for them on the first run
There are no online or difficulty-gated achievements — everything is doable on Narrative difficulty with the invincibility option.
