Introduction to the Trophy Hunt
Welcome to the definitive trophy guide for “It Takes Two”! This guide will lead you through each step to obtain the platinum trophy in this critically acclaimed co-op adventure. Developed by the creators of “A Way Out,” “It Takes Two” is built entirely around cooperative gameplay, requiring two players to navigate its imaginative world. You can team up locally via couch co-op or online with a friend through PlayStation Network. It is crucial to note that “It Takes Two” does not feature online matchmaking; you’ll need to invite a friend to join your game. Playing solo with two controllers is highly discouraged due to the game’s design emphasizing teamwork and synchronized actions.
The gameplay mechanics revolve around platforming challenges and cooperative puzzle-solving. With two players communicating and collaborating, the game presents a relatively easy and enjoyable experience, with puzzle solutions being generally intuitive. The narrative-rich story offers a substantial playtime of approximately 13 hours on average. The game allows you to continue from your last checkpoint, so you can tackle the adventure in multiple sessions without losing progress. “It Takes Two” is structured into 7 chapters, each further divided into sections, allowing for flexible play and replayability via chapter select.
Step 1: Platinum Walkthrough – Collectibles and Miscellaneous Trophies
Your primary objective is to complete a single playthrough of the story while securing all 18 chapter-specific trophies and locating all 25 Minigames (collectibles).
The 18 chapter-specific trophies are tied to optional interactions and easter eggs hidden within specific game sections. These often involve engaging with the environment in creative ways or completing unique side activities. Minigames, serving as collectibles in “It Takes Two”, are represented by floating purple tambourines scattered throughout the game world. The Chapter Select menu provides a clear overview of your minigame progress, showing which ones you have collected in each section and highlighting any you might have missed.
To streamline your trophy acquisition, we recommend following the trophy guide in chronological order alongside a dedicated collectible guide. This approach ensures you don’t miss any trophies or minigames during your initial playthrough. Consult our comprehensive It Takes Two All Minigame Locations Guide as you progress through each chapter.
(Optional) Step 2: Post-Game Cleanup with Chapter Select
Should you miss any trophies or minigames during your initial playthrough, Chapter Select offers a convenient way to revisit specific sections. However, be aware that some sections can be quite lengthy, potentially lasting up to an hour. To maximize efficiency and minimize backtracking, it’s best to aim for complete collection and trophy acquisition during your first run.
