Duskfade Achievements
25 Steam and Xbox tasks, 26 on PS5 with platinum. Current guides say nothing is missable.
How Many Achievements?
| Platform | Total | Extra |
|---|---|---|
| Steam / PC | 25 | Official store count |
| Xbox | 25 / 1,000G | Some display names differ |
| PS5 | 26 | The same 25 tasks plus platinum Master Clockmaker |
Current trophy guides say you can finish everything in one playthrough, on Story Mode, with no missable and no glitched tasks. That is community testing, not an official statement. Patches can change it.
Official FAQ time for collectibles plus achievements is about 16 hours. Community platinum estimates run 9–12 hours or about 20 hours.
Xbox Names That Differ
Xbox does not use every PlayStation / guide title. Confirmed preview mappings:
| Steam / PS title | Xbox title | Task |
|---|---|---|
| Come Here Right Meow | Cat army | Find all of Tailord’s kittens |
| Master of Melody | Master of melodies | Return all music boxes |
| Shopaholic | Compulsive buyer | Buy everything from the Traveler |
| A Clock Heart Piece a Day… | Don’t call Dr. Peppermint | Max health |
The rest of the Xbox list was not fully cached. Use the Steam / PS wording below unless your Xbox tile shows one of those names.
Collectible Achievements

PlayStation lists several of these as secret trophies. The tasks themselves are the same.
Optional Achievements
| Achievement | Requirement |

Wally’s six Tick Town spots have to be done in order. The Desert kitten is currently tied to the Palette / Despair-outfit check. Details stay on the trophy and collectible guides, not copied room-by-room here.
Action Checks by Story Point
A few trophies depend on a deliberate action while you are in an area. Collectibles are not missable, but these are:
| Check | Where / when | Action |
|---|---|---|
| We Fixed Time, Right? | Tick Town | Break the Temporal Anchor before leaving. |
| No Peeking! | Tick Town + four paths | Find Wally in six fixed spots, in order. |
| Heartless | Ezarus Forest | From the Fast Travel, go left, climb the platforms in front of the NPC, then break the Cloudie guard’s pots. |
| You Seem Familiar | Ezarus Forest | Talk to the small-crown NPC, follow the path on their left into the castle, and read the book beside the chest. |
| You Seriously Didn’t See That One Coming? | Lantern Port | From the Fast Travel, turn around and destroy the pumpkin-head scarecrow. |
| A Grandma’s Love | Stonetusk Canyon | From the Fast Travel, backtrack to the start village and talk to the grandma. |
| The Mask of Pain | Clockmaker’s Rest → Tick Town | Break the orange crystal on the right of the Fast Travel to find the Desert kitten; return to Tick Town and take the Hills path to Tailord for the Despair outfit, then speak to Palette wearing it. |
| Don’t Talk to Strangers | Desert of the Last Memory | Meet the mysterious desert explorer on the route. |
| Don’t Go There! | The Tower | Jump from the top before the final story beat. |
The exact order for Wally’s six spots is on the Walkthrough Tick Town section or the Tick Town stage page.
PS5 Platinum
Master Clockmaker is “earn all other Duskfade trophies.” Steam and Xbox have no platinum, which is why they stop at 25.
Current guides:
- Story Mode is allowed
- Nothing is treated as missable
- Do story first, then a collectible sweep
Time estimates still disagree. Use the official 16 hours for planning.
FAQ
Are any achievements missable? Current independent trophy guides say no. Official material does not say.
Can I 100% on Story Mode? Current guides say yes.
Why does Steam show 25 and PS5 show 26? PlayStation adds the platinum on top of the same 25 tasks.
