Part 46

Master The Evil Within 2's side missions! Learn how to complete 'Rogue Signal,' 'The Last Step,' and the 'Ghost Lady' encounters for crucial trophies and rewards.

Alright, let's dive into Part 46 of our Evil Within 2 journey. This section is all about tackling some of the game's optional side missions and the rewards they bring, especially those sweet trophies. We'll cover how to snag the 'Backup Ain't Coming,' 'Sykes Out,' and 'Finally Free' trophies, plus a couple of others that pop up naturally as you play.

Trophy Guide: Part 46

Let's break down these trophies and how to get them.

Backup Ain't Coming (Bronze)

Description: Completed the "Rogue Signal" side mission.

How to Obtain: This is one of those early side missions you can jump into right around Chapter 3, when the world starts to open up a bit. To make sure you don't miss it, prioritize doing side missions over the main story objectives. If you're following this guide, we actually tackle the side missions first, so you should naturally get this trophy by just playing along.

Sykes Out (Silver)

Description: Completed the "The Last Step" side mission.

How to Obtain: Another side mission! The strategy here is the same as the last one: as soon as it becomes available, do this side mission before pushing forward with the main story. We'll guide you through it in the walkthrough, and by completing it, you'll snag this silver trophy along with any extra loot.

Finally Free (Silver)

Description: Experienced every traumatic encounter and made peace with your inner demons.

How to Obtain: This trophy is tied to a series of three specific side encounters with the mysterious "Ghost Lady." You'll stumble upon these throughout your playthrough:

1. Chapter 3: Head to "336 Cedar Ave." You'll need to enter the location, grab a collectible, and then follow the guide to escape the encounter. It's pretty straightforward.
2. Chapter 7: Make your way to the "Juke Diner." Again, the guide will walk you through the specifics, but the trigger is entering the diner and checking a body to start the encounter.
3. Chapter 11: This one's in the Marrow, specifically in the Restricted Labs. Look for a lab area where you'll need to use a Shock Bolt on a wall to reveal a side passage leading to a pit. Check the side room there to initiate the third encounter and grab another collectible. Follow the guide to get through it, and this trophy is yours!

You Got Red in You (Bronze)

Description: Used your first Red Gel.

How to Obtain: Don't stress about this one; it's practically unmissable. You'll find plenty of Red Gel as you progress through the game, and using just a single unit will pop this trophy. Keep playing, and you'll get it naturally.

Stick it in My Veins (Silver)

Description: Completely upgraded all abilities.

How to Obtain: This trophy is a bit of a grind and will likely require a New Game Plus run. To make it easier, consider playing NG+ on Casual difficulty to maximize your Green Gel income. You'll want to upgrade all your abilities. You might also want to go for the "Upgrade all weapons" trophy simultaneously. You'll probably need to find a couple more Red Gel items, but you should earn this trophy before you finish upgrading all your weapons.

Making Things a Little Easier (Bronze)

Description: Used your first High-Grade Weapon Parts.

How to Obtain: This trophy will come to you as you play. You'll find High-Grade Weapon Parts scattered throughout the game, and using them to upgrade your gear will eventually award you this trophy. Just keep exploring and scavenging, and you'll get it without much effort.
