Introduction
Welcome to the It Takes Two Trophy Guide! This is a fairly simple and straightforward platinum. There are no difficulty-related trophies. Only 25 Collectibles (Minigames) and the rest are miscellaneous trophies that require you to interact with certain objects in certain chapters. The setup of the game and trophies is similar to A Way Out, the previous game by the same development team. It’s a co-op only splitscreen game. You can play it in local couch co-op with 2 controllers or with an online friend through PlayStation Network. There is no matchmaking so you must have a co-op partner figured out beforehand. The gameplay focuses on platforming and cooperative puzzle-solving. Don’t try to do this by yourself with two controllers, some sections would be very annoying without a second player. That said, with 2 people working together the game is easy enough and the puzzle solutions obvious. The story is quite long, around 13 hours on average. You can continue where you left off, so no need to do it in one sitting. If you quit the game and select continue it places you at the last checkpoint (no need to replay the sub-chapter from the start). The game is divided into 7 chapters with several sub-chapters (called “sections”).
Step 1: Get all Trophies & Minigames
There is only one step to this platinum. Play through the story, get all 18 chapter-specific trophies and find all 25 Minigames (Collectibles) along the way.
The 18 chapters-specific trophies require you to do certain optional tasks in specific sections of the game. These are usually little easter eggs and side activities. The 25 Minigames are this game’s version of Collectibles and they are marked by purple floating tambourines in the world. You can keep track of them in Chapter Select, it shows exactly which ones you have found and which are missing.
The trophy list is already in chronological order. Simply follow the trophy guide from top to bottom (it’s in chronological order) and check the Collectible Guide along the way
» It Takes Two All Minigame Locations.
(Optional) Step 2: Chapter Select if you missed anything
If you missed a trophy or a minigame you can quickly replay the Sections via Chapter Select. Some Sections are fairly long though (up to 1 hour) so in order to not waste time you should get everything on the first attempt.
It Takes Two Trophy Guide
Important: Because It Takes Two is a Co-Op Only Game but doesn’t have matchmaking you should find a 2nd player to help you before purchasing it (local splitscreen with 2 controllers or online co-op). There is a free “Friend’s Pass” which lets you gift the game to another person to join you. However, to earn trophies you must have purchased the full version, players joining with the Free Friend’s Pass Trial cannot earn any trophies!

Chapter: The Tree / Section: Captured
When you reach a circular platform with 8 red latches on it, where Cody must place explosive goo on all 8 latches so May can blow them up, take a little detour to check the path on the right. There’s a red “Start” button on a side path and when you approach it you’ll be told not to press it. For this you must press this button. This reveals a torture chamber, one of the two players gets sucked in and the trophy unlocks right away. Be sure to do this before destroying the 8 red latches of the aforementioned platform.

During this section you must go through several portals, each leading to a new miniworld. Inside the yellow portal jump on the first yellow bouncy pad on the right to get to the top of a tower of pillows. At the very top you find an antenna. Interact with it and move it around to scan for 4 different frequencies. Listen to all 4 and the trophy will unlock. Note: Both players receive this trophy simultaneously. The next trophy “Look At Him Go” can be done right after this in the same yellow portal. |

*This trophy is in the wrong order in the default trophy list. The one below it “A Daring Devil” comes first, so don’t miss that one.
Chapter: Rose’s Room / Section: Hopscotch There’s a pig with 4 golden coins in front of it, to the left of the minigame “Batting Team”, which is unmissable on the main story path (no way around it, you’ll automatically walk into it and can’t miss it). Pick up the 4 golden coins that are in front of the pig and place them on the back of the pig. It will then roll over and you must jump on its belly to break the “piggy” bank. This unlocks the trophy. Note: Only the player who destroys the piggy bank gets the trophy. You can restart the checkpoint from the pause menu afterward to redo it for the second player. |

Chapter: Rose’s Room / Section: Hopscotch
At the very start of this level go straight ahead all the way to the end until you can walk no further (don’t take the story path to the right!). There is a toy car parked in front of a red ramp. One player must enter the car. The other must grab it from behind Note: In my case only the player who sat in the car and jumped through the ring got the trophy but others have reported it unlocked for both players simultaneously. Either way, you can switch positions afterward. |

Special Thanks / Credits
Special thanks to my co-op partner FranciRoosters for helping out.
PowerPyx says
I still need confirmation if players joining via the free Friend’s Pass Trial can earn any trophies.
Other than that guide is all done, enjoy
Jacquaire says
I played this afternoon with my friend (via Friend’s pass) and she didn’t unlock trophies.
Taurin says
I can confirm, no trophies while playing through friends pass.
PowerPyx says
Thanks for confirming, updated this now in the red warning section at the start of trophy guide. Same as it was in A Way Out.
Alireza says
In A Way Out
If you play with friend pass , not receive any trophy
Hakan says
Hi, in local coop 2nd User can be earn all trophies like a Sackboy?
Alireza says
Yes
Bamboocha909 says
Also played online my physical copy with latest patch and PS5 version. Me and also friend did not unlock any trophies. In trophy list are trophies locked. So only local coop works?
PowerPyx says
I did everything online and it worked fine. All trophies unlocked normally.
So definitely doesn’t have to be done in local co-op.
Not sure what’s going on in your game. If your friend joined you via the free Friend’s Pass Trial it’s normal they can’t earn any trophies – only if you purchased the full version the trophies will unlock.
Alireza says
Hi
For Trophy A Daring Devil
For me , both recive trophy without switch positions
PowerPyx says
Interesting. Maybe a little buggy? If anyone else can confirm if it popped for both at the same time or not that’d be great.
In my game, my friend jumped through the ring first and got it but I didn’t. Then I jumped through the ring and it popped for me.
Warlord99956 says
It also popped at the same time for us without changing places. We were on the ps5 stack.
Sepp says
Can Confirm – popped at the same time for both of us on PS5.
Ynda Jas says
Typos on “Something Fishy” and “Terror Of The Seven Seas” – the section is “Beneath the Ice” (as per the minigame), not “Beneath the Sea”.
PowerPyx says
Good spotting, it’s “Ice” not “Sea”. Fixed now, thanks!
anasterion says
If someone up for trophies and also looking for 2nd player add me on psn: anasterion. Can play on working days after 17:00 CET and on weekends anytime during the day.
Benyamin says
Hi great work as always
Any plans for disco elysium?
meow says
Would also like to know this.
Jeff says
I haven’t seen anything posted anywhere about this so if I plat the ps4 version will the trophies autopop on the ps5 version?
Lord_of_Arbon says
We just tried it out. You have access to the savefile from the ps4 and you can continue right before the finale. Trophy for playing through popped afterwards. We missed one collectible on the ps4. Because of that, we had one collectible left on the ps5 as well. Don’t know when you got all collectables on ps4 if the trophy autopops. This has to be confirmed.
Other than that no trophy popped but you are able to chapter select and get them quite quickly.
HarfSharf says
What if you’ve been playing with a friend pass but then purchase the full game. Do you earn the trophies of moments that have passed or do you have to do everything again?
Loopkin says
I think you have to do everything again, unfortunately. Most of games work like this
Loopkin says
I finished the game today with my girlfriend, but she didn’t unlock the “It took two” trophy… Maybe a bug ?
Hagz says
Add me if you wanna play. I have the PS5 version and willing to share friend code.
PSN: HaGz
Murali says
For *Platforming Prodigy* Trophy
Just proceed into story you will get a bird to fly. Use that bird and fly back to the tower top and get on top of the tower..
************Trophy unlocks************
Paul Moore says
If anyone is having issues with the Helltower, you can cheese it with May.
Put a copy just in front of the trap door and activate the tower, you have a split second to activate your power and you’ll teleport in front of the tower, where the top platform will lift you to the top.
Grab the trophy, return to main menu, swap characters with your partner and repeat.
Shahin says
Help me, shahin_em
luiz triches says
