Life is Strange: Reunion Trophy Guide

How to Unlock

Convince Ren to admit his resentment toward Caledon University by gathering the necessary evidence and winning his Backtalk encounter. This trophy requires preparation before Chloe confronts Ren. **Step 1 — All Available Evidence** While playing as Max, examine the **Protest Evidence Whiteboard**. Find the section containing **Ren's Research** and inspect it to learn more about his background. This information unlocks an important dialogue option for the later confrontation. **Step 2 — Chloe's Decision** While controlling Chloe, locate Ren and examine **Ren's Bag** before speaking with him. Talk to Ren, then approach him again to initiate the Backtalk confrontation. Select these responses in order: 1. **“I'll tell Noelle.”** 2. **“Red paint can.”** 3. **“Daddy Issues.”** Successfully completing the confrontation forces Ren to acknowledge his resentment toward Caledon and unlocks Daddy Issues.

Tip

Speak with Ren during **Times in Turtle** when you have the opportunity. This provides additional background before the confrontation. Daddy Issues is also connected to Sass Queen, which requires winning all three Backtalk encounters during one playthrough.

Warning

Missing the earlier evidence or selecting incorrect responses can prevent the final dialogue option from appearing. Because this trophy depends on actions across multiple chapters, replaying only Chloe's Decision may not be sufficient. If necessary, restart from the earlier prerequisite and continue forward. Complete the confrontation correctly during your main playthrough to protect your progress toward Sass Queen.

How to Unlock

Prepare a birthday present for Max during **The Overlight**, then give it to her during **Champlain Problems**. This trophy requires completing two interactions across separate chapters. **Step 1 — The Overlight** While controlling Chloe in Moses's office, examine the calendar on his desk to learn that it's Max's birthday. Inspect the **3D printer** before finishing your conversation with Moses. Then speak with Moses and choose **“3D Printer”** to arrange a special birthday gift for Max. Make sure the gift has been prepared before leaving the chapter. **Step 2 — Champlain Problems** Later, while Chloe and Max are spending time together, continue their conversation until the **“Happy Birthday”** dialogue option becomes available. Select it to have Chloe present the gift. Happy Birthday! unlocks after the exchange.

Tip

During The Overlight, complete both the birthday-gift preparation and Uranus's Long-Lost Cousin before progressing. This prevents unnecessary chapter replays.

Warning

Both steps are required. Simply discovering Max's birthday or examining the printer isn't enough; you must arrange the gift with Moses and give it to Max later. Because the trophy spans multiple chapters, replaying only Champlain Problems may not restore the earlier preparation. If needed, replay from The Overlight and continue through the gift-giving scene.

How to Unlock

Find every piece of optional evidence during a single playthrough of Life is Strange: Reunion. Throughout the story, Max and Chloe can discover additional clues by examining documents, investigating objects, and completing optional conversations. These clues aren't always necessary to advance the story, but collecting all of them is required for Major Gumshoe. Some evidence requires extra interactions or specific decisions. For example, during **Class Act**, examine the protest poster on the campus bulletin board and investigate Reggie's notes. During **Open Mic Night**, obtain Lucas's business card. Later, investigate the demolition contract and collect the optional evidence associated with the Mabon gathering. Follow the GAMI collectible walkthrough chapter by chapter, checking every optional evidence location before advancing. The trophy unlocks after you've obtained the final required piece.

Tip

Collect photographs, sketches, podcasts, and optional evidence together. This allows you to work toward Major Gumshoe, Photo Wall, Drugstore Makeup, Podcast Overload, and All These Memories during the same playthrough.

Warning

**All optional evidence must be collected in one continuous playthrough.** Chapter Select cannot be used to collect scattered missing evidence independently for this trophy. If you miss something, you'll need to replay continuously from the missed evidence onward or complete the collection during another playthrough. Some evidence can become inaccessible after particular dialogue choices or story events, so investigate thoroughly before leaving each location.

How to Unlock

Convince Noelle that you're visiting Caledon University by winning the Backtalk encounter in **Lying and Waiting**. While playing as Chloe, you'll encounter Noelle, who questions why you're on campus. During the timed conversation, select these responses in order: 1. **“Space”** 2. **“UVM”** Choosing both answers correctly convinces Noelle that Chloe belongs on campus and unlocks the trophy. This is also the first of three required Backtalk victories for Sass Queen, so getting it right is important if you're aiming to earn every trophy in one planned run.

Tip

After winning the argument, choose **“Make Up a Name”** when Noelle asks who your sponsor is. Don't identify Max. This choice helps preserve the opportunity to earn Slick Rick during a later conversation with Lucas.

Warning

The encounter is missable. Incorrect answers can prevent the trophy from unlocking during that playthrough. You can revisit the chapter for this individual trophy, but Sass Queen requires all three Backtalk victories within one continuous playthrough.

How to Unlock

Win all three required Backtalk encounters during a single playthrough. Sass Queen is a missable dialogue trophy requiring Chloe to win confrontations with **Noelle, Lucas, and Ren**. Each encounter requires the correct responses, and earlier decisions can affect the options available later. **Step 1 — Noelle: Lying and Waiting** When Noelle questions Chloe's presence at Caledon University, select: 1. **“Space”** 2. **“UVM”** After successfully convincing her, choose **“Make Up a Name”** when asked about Chloe's sponsor. Don't identify Max, as this can interfere with the later Lucas encounter. Winning this confrontation also awards Prospective Student. **Step 2 — Lucas: Times in Turtle** Before this encounter, establish the appropriate relationship with Lucas during Lying and Waiting. Choose **“Good song name”** and **“One exception”** when those options appear. Later, while playing as Chloe at the Snapping Turtle, speak with Lucas about the protest. Select **“Protest”**, followed by the appropriate response challenging his involvement. The supplied references describe this response differently, so use the dialogue that questions whether Lucas is genuinely considering the protest. Successfully obtaining his cooperation awards Slick Rick and completes the second required Backtalk encounter. **Step 3 — Ren: Chloe's Decision** Prepare for this confrontation by investigating Ren's background: - During **Times in Turtle**, speak with Ren about his father. - During **All Available Evidence**, examine Ren's Research on the Protest Evidence Whiteboard. - During **Chloe's Decision**, inspect Ren's Bag before speaking with him. Speak with Ren again to initiate the confrontation. Choose the responses associated with threatening to reveal his actions, identifying the red paint can, and confronting him about his father: 1. **Threaten to tell someone about Ren's actions.** 2. **“Red paint can”** 3. **“Daddy Issues”** The supplied references disagree on the exact wording of the first response, identifying either Noelle or Amanda. The important objective is to use the available evidence to win the confrontation. Successfully completing it awards Daddy Issues. If you've won all three required Backtalk encounters within the same continuous playthrough, Sass Queen unlocks after the final victory.

Tip

Complete Prospective Student, Slick Rick, and Daddy Issues as part of the same playthrough. These trophies overlap directly with Sass Queen. Carefully investigate the available evidence and dialogue before starting each confrontation so the necessary responses are available.

Warning

**All three Backtalk victories must occur during one continuous playthrough.** Winning them separately through Chapter Select doesn't satisfy Sass Queen. Incorrect dialogue choices or missed prerequisites can prevent a successful confrontation. If you miss an encounter, you may need to restart from the earliest missed prerequisite and play forward through the remaining encounters. The supplied references disagree on some exact dialogue wording. Follow the named evidence and conversation objectives rather than choosing an unsupported answer based solely on its wording.

How to Unlock

Save everyone possible during the story by making the correct decisions and completing all required rescue actions. This is one of the most important missable trophies in Life is Strange: Reunion. **All requirements must be completed in one continuous playthrough.** Follow these steps carefully. **1. Class Act — Protect Safi's Secret** During Max's conversation with Yasmin, choose to keep Safi's secret. **2. Times in Turtle — Warn Safi** When Max speaks with Safi, tell her about the approaching fire. This helps establish the trust needed to save her later. **3. Chloe's Decision — Save Ren** Successfully confront Ren and **accuse Ren** when speaking with Noelle. This prevents him from starting a fire and contributes toward Bottled It!. **4. Max's Decision — Save Vinh** When Max must identify a suspect, **accuse Vinh**. This prevents another fire and contributes toward Second Chance. **5. In the Lighthouse — Save Safi** During Chloe's confrontation with Safi, select these responses in order: 1. **“Max loves you.”** 2. **“She told you about the fire.”** 3. **“You got lost in your powers.”** 4. **“Mums can forgive a lot.”** 5. **“She knows you can get better.”** 6. **“We're also alive.”** These choices allow you to save Safi and earn You're Coming With Me. **6. The Line of Fire — Rescue Everyone at Caledon** While controlling Max, complete the following actions before advancing: - Examine the **Caledon information board** to learn that Jeanette is trapped inside the Observatory. - In the janitor's room, collect the **mask and wrench**, then restore the water supply. - Activate the **sprinkler system using the breaker box** before leaving. - Give Noelle the mask and tell her Jeanette is inside the classroom. - Activate the remaining two water valves. - Before heading behind the building, approach the locked entrance and choose **“Smash”** to break the window, alerting the trapped students so they can escape. If you've saved everyone successfully, Super Max unlocks during the following story sequence.

Tip

Complete Super Max during your first playthrough alongside Bottled It!, Second Chance, and You're Coming With Me. Save your progress carefully and check each required action before leaving an area.

Warning

**Super Max cannot be earned through isolated Chapter Select cleanup.** The rescue decisions must carry through one continuous playthrough. Missing a major decision, failing to activate the sprinklers, or overlooking the trapped students can prevent the trophy from unlocking. The two supplied reference guides differ on some dialogue and chapter numbering. Follow the named story sections and the choices shown above; the early trust decisions are included as a precaution.

How to Unlock

Save Safi during the confrontation at the lighthouse in **In the Lighthouse**. This trophy requires Chloe to convince Safi that she can still be helped. Your earlier decisions can influence the confrontation, so establish trust with Safi before reaching this chapter. **Step 1 — Protect Safi's Trust** During **Class Act**, choose to keep Safi's secret when Max speaks with Yasmin. Later, during **Times in Turtle**, tell Safi about the approaching fire. These decisions help establish the trust needed for the lighthouse confrontation. **Step 2 — Save Safi at the Lighthouse** When Chloe confronts Safi, choose the supportive dialogue options. Follow this sequence: 1. **“Max loves you.”** 2. **“She told you about the fire.”** 3. **“You got lost in your powers.”** 4. **“Mums can forgive a lot.”** 5. **“She knows you can get better.”** 6. **“We're also alive.”** These responses encourage Safi to accept help rather than surrender to her despair. You're Coming With Me unlocks after Safi survives the confrontation.

Tip

Complete this trophy during your Super Max playthrough, since saving Safi is also required for that trophy. The supplied references differ slightly in their dialogue sequences. One includes additional opening responses, **“Why be Max?”** and **“I'm sorry,”** before the shared choices above. Follow the available supportive dialogue and use those opening responses if they appear.

Warning

You're Coming With Me is missable. Poor relationship decisions or incorrect lighthouse dialogue can prevent Safi from surviving. If you miss the trophy, replay from the earliest relevant prerequisite rather than assuming that restarting only the lighthouse confrontation will restore the necessary relationship conditions. For Super Max, Safi must be saved within the same continuous playthrough as the other required rescue decisions.
