**Try out Slippie's ski slope in Agora Arcade during Chapter 1.** Après Ski is a missable trophy that requires Harold to test a miniature ski slope inside Slippie's shop. During **Chapter 1.3**, travel to **Agora Arcade** using the All Water Tube. Explore the arcade until you find Slippie's shop, which should have its entrance open. Enter the shop and speak with Slippie. During the conversation, he'll show Harold a commercial advertising his new skiing attraction. After watching the commercial, Slippie will offer Harold an opportunity to test his miniature half-pipe. Accept the invitation and approach the ski slope. Climb to the upper section of the attraction and interact with the slope. Use the **analog stick** to guide Harold downward. Once Harold completes the skiing activity, a short cutscene will play. The trophy unlocks after successfully trying the slope. You don't need to achieve a particular score, perform tricks, or complete a timed challenge.

Tip

**Complete this activity during Chapter 1.3 rather than waiting until later.** According to the source guide, Slippie's shop remains available during Chapters **1.3, 1.4, and 1.5**. However, Slippie leaves the shop when Chapter 2 begins, making the skiing activity unavailable afterward. Speak with him as soon as you discover the shop, watch the commercial, and complete the half-pipe experience before progressing. This activity also unlocks the **Skiing Notebook entry**, which is required for Forschergeist. If you've already reached Chapter 2 without attempting the slope, you'll need to reload Chapter 1.3 or another available Chapter 1 checkpoint. Remember that Chapter Select resets your save progression to the chosen point. Slippie also appears during a separate Chapter 4.2 activity for Luke Warm, but that interaction doesn't replace this skiing opportunity. Harold spends most of his days cleaning laboratory equipment and running errands for the Fedora's residents. Fortunately, Slippie has decided he deserves a little recreational excitement. Nothing says relaxation quite like testing an experimental ski slope aboard an underwater spaceship.

**Listen to every required gossip conversation at Gertrude's Bierzone throughout the story.** Busybody is a missable trophy requiring you to overhear the changing conversations between two characters sitting together inside **Gertrude's Bierzone**. The bar is located in **Agora Arcade**, and the characters discuss different events as the story progresses. To earn the trophy, visit the bar at the appropriate points and remain nearby until each conversation finishes. There are six gossip opportunities described in the source guide: **Chapter 1.3 — First Conversation** Visit the bar after the station announcement. The characters will be discussing the announcement and its implications. **Chapter 1.3 — Second Conversation** After completing the objective **"Check on Brigitte,"** return to the bar. The characters will discuss Filter Franky. **Chapter 1.4 — Third Conversation** At the beginning of the new day, visit the bar again. Listen to their conversation about the leak. **Chapter 2.4 — Fourth Conversation** After the car ride through the ventilation system, return to Gertrude's Bierzone. The characters will discuss the relaunch presentation. **Chapter 4.2 — Fifth Conversation** After the Flumylym begin visiting the Fedora through the newly constructed All Water Tube, return to the bar. Listen to the conversation about Sunny's new cupcakes. **Chapter 4.2–4.3 — Sixth Conversation** After completing the heist during Chapter 4.2, return to the bar. The characters will discuss the exchange business. Listen to the complete final conversation to satisfy the trophy requirements.

Tip

**Visit Gertrude's Bierzone whenever a major story event occurs.** These conversations change as the story advances, making Busybody easy to miss if you don't revisit the bar regularly. Simply entering the bar isn't enough. Stand near the gossiping characters and allow them to finish their entire conversation before leaving. Some conversations require returning to the bar after completing a specific objective, even if you've already visited earlier that day. Keep track of which gossip topics you've heard, particularly the two opportunities during Chapter 1.3. If you miss an earlier conversation, you'll need to reload the appropriate chapter and complete the remaining gossip interactions again. Since Chapter Select resets subsequent save progression, earning this trophy naturally throughout the story is considerably more efficient. The Fedora may be home to extraordinary scientific discoveries and mysterious alien visitors. But apparently, the residents are still far more interested in discussing everyone else's business. Fortunately, Harold is an excellent listener.

How to Unlock

**Accept Buddy and Chris's invitation to participate in the station jog during Chapter 1.3.** Certificate of Participation is a simple but missable trophy earned by joining a recreational run around the station. During **Chapter 1.3**, travel to the **Agora Arcade**. Find Buddy, the postman, standing near the theater on the far-right side of the area. Speak with him to begin a conversation about an upcoming jog. Buddy will ask Harold to wait until Chris arrives. Once Chris joins the conversation, the two characters invite Harold to participate in their run. When prompted, select: **"Okay, but please don't make me look too bad..."** This accepts the invitation and begins the activity. Harold will participate in a two-lap run around the station. You can attempt to keep pace with Buddy and Chris, but your performance doesn't affect the outcome. Complete the activity to unlock Certificate of Participation.

Tip

**Accept the invitation immediately when Buddy offers it.** Refusing to participate can cause you to miss the trophy. The activity is available during Chapter 1.3, so complete it before advancing to the next chapter. You don't need to win the race, finish in a particular position, or demonstrate impressive athletic ability. Simply participating is sufficient. The jog also creates a Notebook entry called **The Run**, contributing toward the 71 entries needed for Forschergeist. If you miss Buddy's invitation, you'll need to reload Chapter 1.3 and complete the activity. Remember that Chapter Select resets your current save progression, so it's much easier to earn this during your first visit. Harold has spent most of his time aboard the Fedora cleaning equipment, running errands, and assisting Professor Mareaux. Now he's being asked to participate in a recreational race. Fortunately, the trophy rewards enthusiasm rather than athletic talent. Which is probably a relief for Harold.

How to Unlock

**Talk with everyone involved in the cultural exchange during Chapter 4.2.** Exchanger Arranger is a highly missable trophy requiring you to speak with specific characters about the exchange of knowledge and resources between the Fedora's residents and the Flumylym. During Chapter 4.2, the two communities begin working together, creating several optional conversations throughout the ship and cave. You must speak with the following characters: **Central Station** 1. Talk to the **two Flumylym examining the map**. This provides the Tubylym Notebook entry. **Agora Arcade** 2. Speak with **Sunny** at her cupcake stand. 3. Talk to **Warren** about the exchange. 4. Visit the upper Soup Color Fish Café and speak with the **two Flumylym** to receive the Coffee Notebook entry. 5. Speak with **Tommy** inside the bar. 6. Return to **Sunny** after speaking with Warren. **Social District** 7. Speak with **Chris**, the schoolteacher, about the exchange. **Flumylym Cave** 8. Talk to **Secretary 17**. 9. Follow up with **Warren** after completing the conversations involving Sunny. 10. Speak with **Major** about the exchange. Complete all the required interactions to unlock the trophy.

Tip

**Finish every conversation during Chapter 4.2, before completing the "Join the Gang" objective in Chapter 4.3.** This is the critical cutoff for Exchanger Arranger. Several characters require follow-up conversations, particularly Sunny and Warren. Speaking to them once isn't necessarily enough. After visiting the different locations, check your PDA for new optional tasks and return to characters whose dialogue has changed. The conversations also contribute Notebook entries toward **Forschergeist**, making this an important opportunity to progress toward two trophies simultaneously. If you miss someone, Chapter Select can restore the opportunity, but loading an earlier chapter resets your current save progression to that point. Complete this activity during your first playthrough to avoid repeating a large portion of the story. Harold has spent most of his adventure cleaning equipment, delivering messages, and helping his eccentric coworkers. Now he's responsible for encouraging cultural cooperation between two entirely different civilizations. Apparently, diplomacy mostly involves walking around and asking everyone how they feel.

How to Unlock

**Complete the storyline involving the four secretary brothers across multiple chapters.** Family Ties (And Uniforms) is a missable trophy requiring you to investigate the relationships between the Fedora's secretary brothers and follow their story through several chapters. The brothers are quadruplets, although only three initially work as secretaries aboard the Fedora. You'll need to speak with them at specific points as their family story develops. **Chapter 1.3 — Discover the Fourth Brother** Begin by talking to the three secretaries in this order: 1. Speak with **Secretary 17** in the Agora District. 2. Speak with **Secretary 8** at Central Station. 3. Speak with **Secretary 24** in the All Water Office. 4. Return to **Secretary 17** in the Agora District. 5. Return to **Secretary 8** at Central Station. These conversations reveal information about the fourth brother and provide a Notebook entry. **Chapter 2.1 — Warren Returns** Visit Agora Arcade and talk to **Warren** when he arrives. Afterward, speak with the other brothers about his return: 1. Secretary 17 near the Agora Arcade entrance. 2. Secretary 8 at Central Station. 3. Secretary 24 in the All Water Office. Return to Warren and share their reactions. **Chapter 2.2 — Follow Up with Warren** On a new day, revisit Warren in Agora Arcade. Speak with him about his different flavor profiles and lighter food options. **Chapter 4.4 — A Cappella** During the main objective involving Pee, you'll encounter Secretary 24. After checking on him, an optional objective called **A Cappella** becomes available. Travel to Agora Arcade and visit the four brothers near the theater. Speak with them to continue their story and receive another Notebook entry. **Epilogue — Warren's Gourmet** Return to Agora Arcade and speak with the four brothers. After their argument, leave the area and return later. Warren will eventually be standing alone. Speak with him again to conclude the storyline and obtain the final related Notebook entry.

Tip

**Complete every conversation before moving to the next chapter.** This trophy depends on several interactions spread across the game, making it easy to miss an important step. Always speak to Warren and the secretary brothers whenever new story events occur. Their conversations also contribute to **Forschergeist**, so following the entire storyline helps with two trophies simultaneously. If you miss an earlier interaction, Chapter Select can restore the opportunity, but doing so resets your progression to the selected chapter. You may then need to replay the remaining chapters and repeat the later conversations. Pay particular attention to Chapter 1.3 and Chapter 2.1, since they establish the relationships needed for the later events. The Fedora is home to scientists, engineers, mysterious creatures, and an impressive collection of unusual personalities. But somehow, four brothers wearing nearly identical uniforms manage to create one of the ship's most complicated family dramas. At least Harold has finally learned how to tell them apart.

How to Unlock

**Complete Harold's Notebook by collecting all 71 entries throughout the story.** Forschergeist is one of the most important trophies in Harold Halibut and requires obtaining every Notebook entry across the six chapters and Epilogue. Harold automatically records certain story events in his Notebook, but many entries require optional conversations, side activities, or revisiting characters at specific moments. Press **Triangle** to open your PDA, then navigate to the Notebook. Use **L2 and R2** to move between drawings and review your collection. There are **71 entries** in total. The following checklist includes their names and the chapters where they become available. **Chapter 1 — Entries 1–20** - **1.** All Water Secretary Office - **2.** The Lightkeepers - **3.** Chris in the Lounge - **4.** Fish Dinner - **5.** Buoy Announcement - **6.** The Brothers - **7.** Rafi Zelters - **8.** The Run - **9.** Fish Fish Fish Hut - **10.** Skiing - **11.** Stranger Danger - **12.** Rock Theft - **13.** 3D Printer Shock - **14.** CEO Casselchop - **15.** Coco - **16.** The Package - **17.** Cyrus Plan - **18.** Countdown - **19.** The Scout and Agent Haroldson - **20.** Tea with Mareaux The most important optional entries are obtained by speaking with Chris, Rafi, the secretary brothers, Slippie, Captain Zoya, and the residents of Agora Arcade. Agree to participate in Buddy's run, investigate the brothers' family history, and explore the available shops. **Chapter 2 — Entries 21–34** - **21.** Secret Guest - **22.** The Announcer - **23.** Water Wieners - **24.** Quick Soap Colorfish - **25.** The Brothers - **26.** Coping Captain - **27.** Graffiti - **28.** Buddy - **29.** Mysterious Door - **30.** Bacteria Party - **31.** Dinner with Brigitte - **32.** Rouge Bacteria - **33.** Catching Coco - **34.** Submarine For these entries, visit the Announcer's bathroom in the Social District, speak with Warren, follow the secretary brothers' storyline, and continue checking on Captain Zoya. Clean both pieces of graffiti near the Lab District lounge. Visit Buddy at the Post Office to begin reading his undelivered letters. Also investigate the mysterious door upstairs in the Utility District and help Brigitte during Chapter 2.2. **Chapter 3 — Entries 35–44** - **35.** The Cave - **36.** Didachik - **37.** Bubble Guy - **38.** The Pyramid - **39.** Don't Touch - **40.** The Ritual - **41.** Lunch Break at the Pond - **42.** The Crack - **43.** Reading - **44.** Sneaker All ten entries are associated with the Flumylym Cave. Several unlock automatically, but the four important optional interactions involve: 1. The Flumylym at the first booth or store. 2. The Flumylym at the shop on the right. 3. The Flumylym near the triangular structure. 4. The Flumylym farther ahead on the left. Speak with each character before progressing through the main cave sequence. **Chapter 4 — Entries 45–59** - **45.** Tubylym - **46.** Sunny's Cupcakes - **47.** Coffee - **48.** AW Tourism Booth - **49.** Major and Frank - **50.** Brigitte and the Kids - **51.** Cyrus in the Little Room - **52.** Plane Race - **53.** Filter Frankie - **54.** I Am a Lightkeeper - **55.** Dizzy Fish - **56.** Singing Particles - **57.** Energy Container - **58.** Barbershop Brothers - **59.** Green Thumb Class Chapter 4 contains several highly missable entries. During **Chapter 4.2**, speak with the Flumylym studying the map at Central Station, visit Sunny's shop, speak with the Flumylym in the Soup Color Fish Café, and talk to Secretary 17 and Major in the cave. Complete Buddy's letter deliveries and speak with Chris to obtain the Plane Race entry. During **Chapter 4.4**, continue the secretary brothers' storyline and visit them together near the Agora Arcade theater for Barbershop Brothers. The remaining entries are obtained through normal story progression. **Chapter 5 — Entry 60** - **60.** Chasing the Dragon This entry is earned automatically during the story. **Chapter 6 — Entries 61–66** - **61.** The New Submarine - **62.** Frozen Fedora - **63.** The Core - **64.** Submarine Duo - **65.** Showdown - **66.** Finding the CEO All six are story-related and should unlock naturally as you complete Chapter 6. **Epilogue — Entries 67–71** - **67.** Ancient Onat - **68.** Hot Dog Contest - **69.** Frank Jr. - **70.** Captain Zoya - **71.** Same Old Before completing the Epilogue, visit the following characters: 1. **Onat:** Speak with him on stage in Agora Arcade. 2. **Warren and the four brothers:** Talk to them in Agora Arcade, then return after their argument and speak with Warren again. 3. **Major:** Find him in the Social District. 4. **Captain Zoya:** Visit the All Water District. 5. **Madam CEO:** Speak with her inside her All Water District office. Once all 71 Notebook entries have been recorded, Forschergeist unlocks.

Tip

**Treat the Notebook as a chapter-by-chapter checklist rather than attempting to collect everything at the end.** Many entries depend on conversations that disappear after a new day or chapter begins. The most dangerous sections are Chapters **1.3, 2.1, 3, 4.2, 4.4, and the Epilogue**. Whenever a new chapter begins, speak with everyone you can find before completing the main objectives. Revisit characters after important events because new conversations may become available. Several entries overlap with other trophies, including Family Ties (And Uniforms), Certificate of Participation, Rubadubdub, Clean Machine, O Captain! My Captain!, and The Postman Always Rings Twice. **Be extremely careful with Chapter Select.** Harold Halibut uses a single save file. Loading an earlier chapter resets your Notebook collection and other progress to the selected point. For example, loading Chapter 1.3 after reaching the Epilogue means you'll need to replay subsequent chapters and recollect the later entries. Check that all 71 drawings are present before finishing the game. You've spent Harold's entire adventure speaking with everyone aboard the Fedora, investigating strange events, and documenting every memorable experience. Apparently, his Notebook has become the most comprehensive historical record of life beneath an alien ocean. Not bad for someone who was originally hired to clean laboratory equipment.

How to Unlock

**Keep Professor Mareaux updated throughout the Blue Rock investigation during Chapter 1.3.** Managing Upwards is a highly missable trophy requiring Harold to report important discoveries to **Professor Mareaux** while investigating the mysterious Blue Rock. During **Chapter 1.3**, Harold receives the objective to search for the missing rock. Although the main story allows you to investigate several leads before returning to the laboratory, this trophy requires you to report your findings as the investigation develops. The safest approach is to follow this sequence: **Step 1 — Speak with Tommy** Travel to **Agora Arcade** and enter the bar. Speak with Tommy about the Blue Rock. Once the conversation is finished, return directly to the **Lab District**. Find Professor Mareaux and explain what you've learned. This is your first investigation update. **Step 2 — Investigate Brigitte's Lead** Travel to the **Energy District** and speak with Brigitte. Afterward, return to Tommy at the bar in Agora Arcade. Once you've gathered the new information, return to Professor Mareaux in the Lab District. Report your latest findings before continuing the investigation. **Step 3 — Speak with Cyrus** Return to the Energy District and locate Cyrus. Speak with him about the Blue Rock and obtain his message. Travel back to the Lab District and deliver Cyrus's information to Professor Mareaux. Continue the main story after completing the relevant reporting conversations. The trophy unlocks once the required investigation updates have been reported.

Tip

**Return to Mareaux after every significant discovery instead of completing several investigation steps together.** This is the most important part of Managing Upwards. Some investigation dialogue becomes unavailable when you progress to another lead. For example, speaking with Brigitte, Tommy, and Cyrus consecutively without reporting to Mareaux may cause Harold to summarize only the latest discovery. That can prevent an earlier report from registering toward the trophy. The source guide notes that not every possible report is necessarily required, but following the complete reporting sequence is the safest approach. Don't wait for the main objective to explicitly instruct you to return to the laboratory. Whenever you learn something new about the Blue Rock, check whether Mareaux has additional dialogue before continuing. **Complete this trophy during Chapter 1.3.** If you miss a reporting opportunity, you'll need to reload Chapter 1.3 and repeat the investigation. Remember that Chapter Select resets subsequent save progression, making early completion preferable. Harold has been assigned to investigate a missing scientific sample. Unfortunately, finding the rock isn't enough. He also has to keep his supervisor informed about absolutely everything. Some aspects of office life never change, even aboard an underwater spaceship.

How to Unlock

**Attempt to collect the prepared Blue Rock sample directly from Brigitte during Chapter 1.4.** Neo-Luddite is a missable trophy requiring you to return to **Brigitte in the Energy District** at a specific point during the Blue Rock investigation. During Chapter 1.4, Harold continues helping Professor Mareaux investigate the unusual Blue Rock. Follow the main objectives until you're instructed to take the rock to Brigitte. Travel to the Energy District and speak with her. Brigitte will begin examining the material and ask Harold to assist with another sample analysis. Complete the required interaction, then leave the Energy District.

How to Unlock

**Support Captain-at-large Zoya through his personal storyline across Chapters 1 and 2.** O Captain! My Captain! is a missable trophy requiring you to repeatedly check on **Captain Zoya** as he struggles with his changing role aboard the Fedora. His storyline takes place across several locations and days, so you'll need to speak with him whenever his circumstances change. **Chapter 1.3 — The All Water Office** Travel to the **All Water District** and locate Captain Zoya inside the red room on the left side of the office. Press the button beside the door to access the room. Speak with Zoya about the recent announcement and listen to his reaction. **Chapter 2.1 — Agora Arcade** Visit Agora Arcade and find Zoya playing **Rapid Fly Zone Force** in the arcade area. Speak with him about how he's feeling now that he can no longer pilot the ship. After finishing the conversation, leave Agora Arcade. Zoya will eventually send Harold a message. Return to Agora Arcade and find him sitting inside **Gertrude's Bierzone**. Speak with him again to hear how his feelings have changed. **Chapter 2.2 — Central Station** On the following day, travel to Central Station. Find Zoya sitting near the All Water Tubes. Speak with him about his newfound freedom and continue his personal storyline. **Chapter 2.2 — Dinner Invitation** Progress through the available objectives until Zoya sends Harold another message inviting him to dinner. Travel to **Agora Arcade** and visit the Soup Color Fish Café in the upper-right section. Speak with Zoya during the dinner conversation. He'll thank Harold for being there when he needed someone to listen. Complete this final interaction to unlock the trophy.

Tip

**Check on Zoya every time he changes location or sends you a message.** Speaking with him once isn't enough. You must follow his storyline through all the required interactions. The most important opportunities occur during **Chapters 1.3, 2.1, and 2.2**. After speaking with Zoya in the arcade, remember to leave the area and return when he contacts you. Otherwise, you may miss the conversation at Gertrude's Bierzone. His dinner invitation is particularly important because it completes the storyline and contributes the **Coping Captain Notebook entry** toward Forschergeist. If you finish Chapter 2 without completing the required conversations, you'll need to reload Chapter 2.1 or an earlier missed checkpoint and replay the necessary events. Since Chapter Select resets subsequent save progress, complete Zoya's storyline during your first playthrough. Captain Zoya has spent much of his life dreaming about piloting the Fedora. Now he's discovering that life can take unexpected turns, even when you're supposed to be in charge. Fortunately, Harold is always willing to listen. Sometimes being a good friend is more important than being a great captain.

How to Unlock

**Attempt to leave the All Water Office three times during Chapter 1.1.** Rebel is an easily missable trophy that can be earned during the opening minutes of Harold Halibut. At the beginning of Chapter 1.1, Harold is being detained inside the **All Water Office** because of an overdue fine. You're instructed to wait until someone arrives to pay the fine on his behalf. However, instead of following those instructions, you'll need to repeatedly attempt to escape. Once you gain control of Harold, **do not walk toward Felix on the right side of the room**. Instead, head left toward the office's exit door. Interact with the door to attempt to leave. **Secretary 17** will notice Harold's attempt and warn him not to leave before the payment procedure is complete. Return to the exit and attempt to leave again. The secretary will issue another warning. Repeat the interaction a third time. After your third escape attempt, Rebel unlocks automatically. You don't need to successfully escape the office. The trophy specifically requires attempting to leave three times.

Tip

**Earn Rebel immediately at the beginning of Chapter 1.1.** This is one of the earliest missable trophies in the game, and the opportunity disappears once you progress through the opening sequence. Secretary 17 will initially warn Harold about resisting the temporary confinement procedure. During subsequent attempts, he'll remind Harold to behave. Keep interacting with the exit until the trophy unlocks before approaching Felix or continuing the main objective. If you accidentally advance the story, you can use Chapter Select to return to Chapter 1.1. However, loading an earlier chapter overwrites your current save progression, so it's best to complete this trophy during your first playthrough. No additional items, dialogue choices, or special actions are required. Harold has barely begun his adventure, and he's already attempting to escape from an office. Unfortunately, his daring rebellion consists entirely of repeatedly walking toward a door. Every revolutionary movement has to start somewhere.

How to Unlock

**Listen to the Announcer while he is showering in Chapter 2.1.** Rubadubdub is a missable trophy earned by finding the Announcer inside his private bathroom and listening to him speak while showering. During Chapter 2.1, the **Social District** becomes accessible through the All Water Tube transportation system. Travel to the Social District and walk toward the rooms on the far-right side of the area. Find the **second room** and enter it. Inside, locate the bathroom door. Approach the bathroom and press **Cross** to interact with it. Harold will hear the Announcer speaking from inside the shower, triggering a short interaction. The trophy unlocks after listening to him. You don't need to complete a separate mission or collect any special item.

Tip

**Complete this interaction before finishing the Chapter 2.1 objective "Bring the blood replacement to Fishy."** This is your main opportunity to hear the Announcer showering. If you complete the chapter without visiting his bathroom, the interaction can become unavailable. Check the Social District as soon as it opens and complete Rubadubdub before continuing with the main story. The interaction also contributes a Notebook entry toward **Forschergeist**, so earning it early helps with your collectible progress. If you've already missed the opportunity, you can reload Chapter 2.1 through Chapter Select. However, loading an earlier chapter overwrites your existing progression with the state from that point, so you'll need to replay any subsequent content you still require. No additional conversations or special dialogue choices are necessary. You've explored an underwater spaceship, met its unusual inhabitants, and uncovered fascinating scientific mysteries. Now you're listening to someone talk in the shower. Apparently, even aboard the Fedora, privacy is a complicated concept.

How to Unlock

**Accumulate more than 15 hours of playtime on the same save file.** Slow Bro is a time-based trophy that rewards you for spending at least 15 hours experiencing Harold Halibut. Unlike most trophies, it doesn't require completing a particular activity, finding a collectible, or reaching a specific chapter. Instead, you must accumulate **more than 15 hours of playtime** during your current save. The time doesn't need to be accumulated in a single session. You can progress through the game normally, explore the Fedora, speak with characters, and complete the available side activities. Your playtime continues accumulating as you explore. If you complete your remaining objectives before reaching the required duration, you can leave Harold standing idle in a safe location. Alternatively, have him watch television inside the Lab District lounge. Continue accumulating time until Slow Bro unlocks.

Tip

**Earn Slow Bro before completing the Epilogue.** This trophy is missable because finishing the story too quickly can leave you without enough accumulated playtime. The most important detail is that **Harold Halibut uses a single save file**. When you load an earlier chapter through Chapter Select, your progression resets to the state of that chapter, including your recorded playtime. For example, if you've accumulated 14 hours but reload a chapter from much earlier in the story, the hours earned afterward will no longer count toward your current save. Avoid using Chapter Select unless you're prepared to replay the necessary content. A convenient strategy is to work on your other trophies first, particularly Forschergeist and the missable character storylines. When you reach the Epilogue, check whether Slow Bro has unlocked. If it hasn't, leave Harold idle until you've accumulated enough time. **Don't complete the final conversation with Weeoo until the trophy appears.** The estimated Platinum completion time is approximately 20 hours, so players exploring thoroughly may unlock Slow Bro naturally. Harold has spent his entire adventure helping everyone aboard the Fedora. Now the game is rewarding him for taking things slowly. Finally, a trophy that appreciates the importance of doing absolutely nothing.

How to Unlock

**Watch television for a total of 10 minutes during your playthrough.** The Plot Thickens is a time-based trophy that requires Harold to spend 10 minutes watching television aboard the Fedora. You can earn this trophy relatively early in the game. Travel to the **Lab District**, where Harold lives and works alongside Professor Mareaux. Locate the **lounge**, which contains a television showing All Water Corporation commercials and soap opera programs. Approach the television and press **Cross** to interact with it. Harold will begin watching the available programming. Remain in the television-viewing interaction until you've accumulated the required time. You don't need to watch for 10 consecutive minutes. The game tracks your viewing time cumulatively, allowing you to watch television during several different visits. Continue watching until you've accumulated **10 minutes of total viewing time**. The trophy unlocks automatically once the requirement has been satisfied.

Tip

**Complete this trophy before reaching Chapter 6.** According to the source guide, the television-viewing opportunity becomes unavailable once you progress into Chapter 6, making The Plot Thickens missable. The easiest approach is to complete the entire requirement during an early visit to the Lab District. Simply interact with the television and leave Harold watching until the trophy unlocks. You can also spread the viewing time across multiple sessions, provided those sessions belong to the same save progression. **Be careful when using Chapter Select.** Loading an earlier chapter resets your current save progression, including any television-viewing time accumulated after the selected checkpoint. For example, if you've watched eight minutes of television but reload a checkpoint from before those sessions, you'll lose that accumulated progress. Watching television is also a convenient way to accumulate additional playtime toward **Slow Bro**, which requires more than 15 hours on the same save file. There are no specific programs you must watch and no dialogue choices involved. After spending countless hours performing maintenance duties and helping the Fedora's residents, Harold finally gets to relax in front of the television. Naturally, the All Water Corporation has filled it with commercials. Even beneath an alien ocean, there's apparently no escaping advertising.
