Duskfade Achievements

Gold vs silver vs bronze

PlayStation splits 8 gold, 5 silver, 12 bronze, plus platinum. Golds are the collectible and max-stat rows. Silvers are mostly story beats (Tick Town anchor, Academy, Gramps, Cuckoo, Allira). Bronzes mix early story, NPC meets, and one-off secrets. Steam does not show those tiers; the names are the same.

What this page will not do

We will not paste unverified step-by-step pins, kitten counts, or Wilson’s exact arena. If the official description is the only reliable line, the trigger column says TBA. One-playthrough planning sits on platinum. Pickup types sit on collectibles.

The full Steam list is next — that is the page people actually opened this tab for.

PlayStation only: Master Clockmaker

The 26th PS trophy is platinum: earn all of the trophies in Duskfade. It has no Steam twin. If you are on PC, 25/25 is the full set.

How to read the next sections

The list above is complete. The rest of this Duskfade achievements page groups those 25 into story, collectible, and secret so you can play in an order that does not stall a chain boss. Story rows first — they pop while you follow the walkthrough.

Four chains are not one trophy

Reviews describe four chains on the Clock Tower; the developer site says five major regions. There is no verified “break chain 1 / 2 / 3 / 4” achievement for each lock. The listed rows are the Tick Town anchor, finding the Academy, opening the doors, and escaping with Allira. Boss fights still use the 25% HP platform rule — that is required to advance, not a named trophy of its own. Phases: bosses.

NPC story vs NPC collectibles

Tailord, Arpeggio, Gramps, and Cuckoo each have a story pop and a harder follow-up (kittens, music boxes, stained glass, reunion). Do the story talk first. Leave the full set for gadgets. Character pages: characters.

Golds that need a full pile are the expensive half. That is the next section.

Hearts and energy are stats, not hunts

Max health and max Temporal Energy are golds. Pieces drop in the world; energy is a bar you grow through the upgrade / gadget loop. Neither one needs a hide-and-seek video. First spend order: upgrades and the beginner guide.

Shopaholic is a shopping list

Shopaholic asks for all of the Traveler’s objects and upgrades. That is a hub spend, not a Rainbow Ingot. Empty the shop when currency is spare — not before you can survive a 25% platform phase.

Secrets and one-off actions are the leftover bronzes. They look optional until platinum cares.

Falling off the Tower is a listed bronze

Don’t go there! is one of the most common Steam unlocks. When you can stand at the top of the Clock Tower, falling is the ask. Do not invent a glitch. If it does not pop, come back after the doors are open — walkthrough.

Wilson and crowned Cloudie

Kill Wilson and confront the Cloudie with the strange crown are separate bronzes. Community clips exist; this page will not turn a half-heard name into a boss guide. Wilson is a unique kill trophy, not a confirmed chain boss — characters. If a later fight is labelled on the HUD, use bosses for the 25% platform rule.

The last question is missables — because that is what trophy hunters actually fear.

One-playthrough order

Play the story, take hearts and gears, pin hunts, break the Clock Tower chains, finish the tower, then clean. Community trophy length sits around 9–12 hours; full 100% coverage is closer to About 11–16 hours main · ~16 hours toward 100%. Habits: tips. Path page: platinum.

If a row does not pop

Check the official description first. Story rows need the named beat (Academy found, Allira escaped), not a fan checklist. Collectible rows need the full set, not one pickup. Secret rows need the named action. Then backtrack with a new gadget before you assume a missable.

The FAQ is the short version if you only needed a count.
