Life Is Strange 2

Hi there fellow trophy hunters and welcome to the TrueTrophies walkthrough for Life is Strange 2.

Life is Strange 2 is an episodic story-heavy adventure game that is best experienced without a guide. The decisions you make throughout the game will have consequences that will shape your game and the way people around you react to you.

The Life is Strange 2 trophies are tied to collectables as well as completing each episode. This walkthrough will be spoiler-free with general story pointers and will only go into details for the locations of collectables. In each area there will be lots of people and objects you can interact with; interesting points of notice will be detailed within a spoiler box, so you can avoid reading them if you want to discover everything Life is Strange 2 has to offer on your own.

Life is Strange 2 has a total of 47 trophies to earn across the five episodes. Each episode should take you approximately 2-3 hours each to complete, and no trophies are missable as you can replay a previously completed chapter at any time through the dedicated collectables mode accessible from the main menu (detailed in the ‘Hints and Tips’ section of this walkthrough). The walkthrough has a separate page for each episode of the game.

CONTROLS

The controls for Life is Strange 2 are very simple and are as follows:

COLLECTABLES

Collectables in Life is Strange 2 take the form of souvenirs that you will find throughout the world. You can check out any collectables you have previously collected, equip them to decorate your bag and get some hints for the locations of missed collectables within the souvenirs tab of the backpack by looking at the outline and background of the collectable.

REPLAYING AN EPISODE

You can replay a previously completed episode by selecting ‘Play Episode’ from the main menu. Select the episode you want to play and you will be taken to a menu listing the different chapters for the episode. Here you will be able to see the numbers of collectables for each chapter and how many of them you have managed to collect.

If you want to pick up the collectables in a chapter but don’t want to change the decisions and interactions you have already made, select collectable mode by hitting and ‘enjoy a road trip free of consequences!’

If you want to replay a chapter and change the decisions and choices you made, you can restart the game from the chapter by pressing . You can choose a different save slot to keep your initial game save.

DECISIONS

There are two types of decisions within Life is Strange 2; minor and major. Minor decisions may occur when you choose a certain line of dialogue in a conversation or interact with an object within the world. Making these decisions will affect your story further down the line, and the consequences of these actions may not be immediately obvious. You will know you have made a minor decision when you see the small dog running with a larger dog animation after an interaction.

It will be obvious when you are about to make a major decision; the game will pause and the different choices you can make will be split across the screen. These decisions are not timed; you will have as long as you need to really think your decision over before selecting an option.

THE STORY

There will be lots of objects and people to interact with in the world, so observe everything with and discuss things with Daniel with . Don’t forget to pop back and check Sean’s journal and phone every now and again, as you will find more interesting texts and diary entries have appeared.

Now it's time to begin the game. And remember, your actions will have consequences…

Three collectables are found within one chapter and the rest are spread out throughout the rest of the chapters, with some chapters not having any collectables.

Maka91Productions has made a good video walkthrough of this chapter which only includes collectable locations, without spoiling any of the story:

To begin the episode, select a save slot from the main menu and you will be presented with the question ‘have you played Life is Strange Season 1?’, selecting either ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ will make no difference in terms of following this walkthrough, but if you select ‘Yes’ you will be asked about the decision you made at the end of the game.
