All 25 Duskfade Achievements
Duskfade ships with 25 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore on PC and Xbox, and 26 trophies on PS5 (the same list plus the Master Clockmaker Platinum). Every trophy can be earned on Story Mode, and there are no currently reported missable or glitched entries — so a clean run is roughly a 9–12 hour job once you know the routes.

The Platinum: Master Clockmaker
On PS5, Master Clockmaker is the Platinum and requires every other trophy — there is no separate hidden requirement. The practical route is:
- Play the story on Story Mode and grab everything directly on your path.
- Do not force early collectibles — late traversal abilities (Crunia's Wings, the Hookshot, the Stopwatch, the Sundial) open areas you cannot reach the first time.
- After the finale, sweep the four paths region by region with the full kit.
Story first, cleanup second. Most players finish the campaign in 10–15 hours and the achievement sweep in a further 2–4, because the post-game lets you revisit every region freely.

Achievements — FAQ
How many achievements does Duskfade have?
25 on Steam and Xbox (1,000 Gamerscore) and 26 on PS5, the extra one being the Master Clockmaker Platinum.
Are any achievements missable?
No missable or glitched entries have been reported. Regions stay open after the story, so anything you skipped can be cleaned up later.
Can I earn everything on Story Mode?
Yes. Difficulty does not gate any trophy or achievement — it only changes how long fights take.
How long does the Platinum take?
Around 9–12 hours on Story Mode with a cleanup pass. Full 100% item completion is longer — see How Long to Beat.
Which achievements take the longest?
The six collectible sweeps — kittens, music boxes, cards, Rainbow Ingots, and maxing health and Temporal Energy. See the Collectibles guide for the routes.
Why do the Steam and Xbox names differ?
The requirement is the same; only the display name changes between storefronts. Our table lists both so you can match whichever platform you play on.
Is Duskfade on Game Pass?
No — it is not on Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass. It is a paid release on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.
