Chapter 1: The Wilderness Achievements
Let’s start our journey in the dark forest where Mono awakens. This chapter introduces you to the game’s mechanics and has several missable achievements.
Story Achievement
- True Colours – Complete Chapter 1 (Unmissable)
Collectible Achievements
Wild Kids
Requirement: Find all 4 Glitching Remains in Chapter 1
These ghostly children are your main collectibles. Here’s where to find them:
- First Glitching Remain – After crawling through the first fallen tree, look for a small cave entrance to your right
- Second Glitching Remain – After pulling the stick from the bear trap, go through the hollow log and turn around to find a hidden path
- Third Glitching Remain – In the area with hanging cages, check behind the large tree on the left
- Fourth Glitching Remain – Inside the hunter’s house, in the room with the taxidermy animals
Miscellaneous Achievements
Evasive Prey
Requirement: Reach the house without dying to any bear traps
This one requires patience. I recommend attempting this on your second playthrough since you’ll know the trap locations. Use the stick to test suspicious leaf piles and throw pinecones to trigger traps from a safe distance. The achievement pops when you climb the stairs to the hunter’s house.
What’s in the Box?!
Requirement: Open the fridge in the hunter’s kitchen
Simple but easy to miss! When you first enter the house, you’ll be in the kitchen. Jump and grab the fridge handle to open it. Just be prepared for what’s inside…
Fair Prey
Requirement: Defeat the hunter while wearing the Coonskin Cap
First, find the Coonskin Cap in the hunter’s house – exit the kitchen, walk toward the camera down the hallway, and turn left. The hat is on the floor. Equip it from the pause menu and keep it on for the entire hunter chase sequence at the end of the chapter.
Chapter 2: The School Achievements
The longest chapter in the game, taking place in a nightmarish school with a terrifying teacher. Pay attention here – there are lots of missables!
Story Achievement
- Schooled – Complete Chapter 2 (Unmissable)
- True Colours – Six finds her raincoat (Unmissable)
Collectible Achievements

- Tin Can Hat – In the library after your first teacher encounter
Miscellaneous Achievements
Fly Free
Requirement: Throw a paper airplane out the window
Early in the chapter, after climbing through the window, you’ll find a room with bunk beds. Pick up the paper airplane from the floor and throw it back out the window you entered from. Freedom!
Mono Tones
Requirement: Play the piano
Near the end of the chapter, you’ll find a piano in a spotlight. Jump on the keys and run back and forth until the achievement unlocks. Takes about 30 seconds of piano playing.
Bully of Bullies
Requirement: Crush pursuing students with a falling bookshelf
In the classroom where you sneak past the teacher, alert the students by running. Lead them to the next room and climb the bookshelf with the key. It will fall and crush them – you’ll die too, but the achievement is yours!
Referee!
Requirement: Run through the goal while wearing the Soccer Ball Hat
Put on the Soccer Ball Hat found outside the school and run through either goal post in the playground. Goal!
Merciful Feat
Requirement: Spare the bully drawing on the floor
When you encounter the student drawing with limited range, grab the pipe when they fall but don’t kill them. Use the pipe to leave the area instead.
Chapter 3: The Hospital Achievements
Welcome to the most disturbing chapter! The hospital is full of mannequin parts and a doctor who’s obsessed with perfection.

Popcorn

Find corn next to a wheelchair after the first electric door. Take it to the incinerator and watch it pop!

X Best Friends

…And Stay Dead!

After killing one of the crawling hands with the hammer, hit it three more times while it’s motionless. Better safe than sorry!
Medicine Ball
Requirement: Throw a ball at the reaching hands
In the room where hands reach through a door, find the ball and throw it at them.
Objection
Requirement: Feed cheese to a mysterious hole
This is the trickiest one! After escaping mannequins through a vent, head left to find a toilet room with cheese. Take the cheese through the left door, find a gate with an opening, go through and run left into a room with a hole. Drop the cheese in for disturbing sounds.
First Do No Harm

Pro Tips for 100% Completion
I’ve helped dozens of players get their platinum trophy, and here are my top tips:
- Use Chapter Select Wisely – You can see how many collectibles you’ve found in each chapter from the menu
- Hats Don’t Save Mid-Chapter – If you miss a hat-specific achievement, you’ll need to replay from the chapter start
- Death Doesn’t Reset Progress – Unlike the first game, dying doesn’t affect achievements
- Sound Cues Matter – Glitching Remains make a distinct whispering sound when nearby
- Take Your Time – Rushing leads to missed collectibles and failed miscellaneous achievements
Optimal Route for 100% Completion
Here’s my recommended approach:
First Playthrough:
- Play blind for the full experience
- Focus on story and atmosphere
- Don’t worry about collectibles
Second Playthrough:
- Use this guide chapter by chapter
- Get all collectibles and miscellaneous achievements
- Use chapter select for anything missed
Time Investment: 5-6 hours first playthrough + 2-3 hours cleanup = 7-9 hours total
