Introduction:
Escape Plan is a game with a simple concept that is worked out by geniuses! Lil and Laarg are captured by Bakuki and you have to help them to escape. To do so you have to guide them through a series of rooms/levels with traps. To make it through the levels you have to reach the exit with them. You will guide them through the levels by using the front touchscreen, the rear touchpad or by tilting the Vita. This game uses the functions extensively but in a good way! It will feel pretty natural by using them.
Note: It's possible to complete all trophies except Death Comes For Ye in one playthrough by selecting the challenge mode from the start and collecting everything during that playthrough but to unlock A Clean Escape you will need to die less than 20 times while you complete the game in challenge mode. This is close to impossible when you would play without tricks because you will die a lot while exploring how things work! You would also need to 3-star all levels on that playthrough and you're probably going to die a lot while trying this. Due to this I'm not going into more detail on how you have to complete it in one step, you will need to use Section Select anyway to die in each level after you finished the story.
Step - 1 Complete the story:
Just play through the story and complete every level. You will want to focus on dying at least once in each level and search for as many warning signs as possible. You can replay every level a few times to 3-star it as well. When the level contains sheep you should try to use them in your advance. When the level contains minions you should try to kill at least one of them, most of the times you will need to do that to progress anyway. If you're stuck on a level you can skip it but keep in mind that you need to complete them using section select to receive the story-related trophies.
Finishing this step should earn you:
- Prison Escape
- Quittin' Time
- Out of the Dumps
- Rock It!
- A Cautionary Tale
- Starry Night
- Death Comes For Ye
- A Lil Problem
- A Laarg Problem
- Test Subjects
- Trippin
- Splatter Fest
Step 2 - Complete challenge mode with less than 20 deaths:
This is probably the hardest part of the game (next to 3-starring every level). You will want to finish the whole story in challenge mode with less than 20 deaths. See A Clean Escape for more information on this step/trophy.
Finishing this step should earn you:
- A Clean Escape
Step 3 - Clean-up using Section Select:
If you missed a trophy you can use Section Select to complete the requirements. With exception of A Clean Escape for which you will need to replay the whole story in challenge mode.
The Asylum DLC:
Overview:
- Estimated Trophy Difficulty: N/A - personal rating is 2/10
- Approximate Time To 100%: 1hr
- Trophy Breakdown: 0, 3, 1
- Offline: 0, 3, 1
- Online: None
- Missable: Trick or Treat
- Minimum Playthroughs Needed: 1
- Difficulty Affects Trophies: No difficulty select
- Glitched Trophies: None so far.
Introduction:
The Asylum is the second DLC for Escape Plan and it's the first one that has trophies! The DLC adds 18 new rooms to beat and some of them are a challenge but the trophies are a lot easier this time!
Note: You'll notice that the download of the DLC is very short. This is because the download is only an unlock code. You need to download patch 1.02 to download the actual DLC and you can't play the DLC without this update!
Step - 1 Complete the DLC with a costume:
Before you even start the DLC you should select a costume for both Lil and Laarg. See Trick or Treat for more information. To start the DLC you can use level select or you can tap on the top left television on the right side of the main menu. Just complete all levels without skipping them. There’s no need to die in each level or to 3-star each level but you can look out for the warning signs that are hidden in the levels.
Finishing this step should earn you:
- The Chief
- Fweeend!
- Trick or Treat
Glitch: Don't press "Start" on the start screen and then "Continue" to start the DLC. The game will start to slow down and freeze. If you did this, just restart the game and start the DLC in another way.
Step - 2 Clean-up:
If you didn’t complete all levels with a costume or you didn't find all warning signs. Now is the time to do so. For the costume trophy I suggest to put on a costume and go through the whole DLC again. For the warning signs you can use level select to get them.
A guide with text and images for all warning signs can be found HERE.
Finishing this step should earn you:
- Chromophobia
The Underground DLC:
Overview:
- Estimated Trophy Difficulty: N/A - personal rating is 2/10
- Approximate Time To 100%: 1-2hrs
- Trophy Breakdown: 0, 3, 1
- Offline: 0, 3, 1
- Online: None
- Missable: None
- Minimum Playthroughs Needed: 1
- Difficulty Affects Trophies: No difficulty select
- Glitched Trophies: None so far.
Introduction:
The Underground is the third DLC for Escape Plan. The DLC adds 21 new rooms to beat and they are more challenging than the previous ones! But the trophies are still fairly easy and you don't need to complete all levels on 3-stars! Another welcome change is that you don't need to press the front and back touchpad at the same time to squeeze little to let him fart or dash forward. Now you can use to do so and that makes it a lot easier in my opinion!
Note: You'll notice that the download of the DLC is very short. This is because the download is only an unlock code. You need to download patch 1.03 (1198Mb) to download the actual DLC and you can't play the DLC without this update! After the patch the total size of the game will be 2Gb.
Step - 1 Complete the DLC without skipping levels:
To start the DLC you can use level select or you can tap on the top left television on the right side of the main menu. Just complete all levels without skipping them. There’s no need to die in each level or to 3-star each level but you can look out for the warning signs that are hidden in the levels. You can also try to complete the special requirement in 'High Voltage' and 'Toot Toot Splat'.
Finishing this step should earn you:
- Well Travelled
Glitch: Don't press "Start" on the start screen and then "Continue" to start the DLC. The game will start to slow down and freeze. If you did this then restart the game and start the DLC in another way.
Step - 2 Clean-up:
If you didn’t find all warning signs or completed 'High Voltage' and 'Toot Toot Splat' with the special requirement. Now is the time to do so. You can use level select to get the warning signs you missed and to replay the levels.
A text image guide for all the warning signs can be found HERE.
Finishing this step should earn you:
- Mind the Gap
- Careful Planning
- Our Dashing Hero
Director's Cut DLC:
Overview:
- Estimated Trophy Difficulty: 4/10 (Personal opinion)
- Approximate Time To 100%: 4-5hrs
- Trophy Breakdown: 0, 3, 1
- Offline: (0, 3, 1)
- Online: None
- Missable: None
- Minimum Playthroughs Needed: 1
- Difficulty Affects Trophies: No difficulty select

Introduction:
Director's Cut is the fourth DLC for Escape Plan. The DLC adds 21 new rooms to beat, 11 new challenges and some new costumes. 3-starring the levels is back this time around but that won't be the hardest trophy from this DLC. The challenges are probably going to drive you insane!
From now on you can also press to make Laarg drop through a breakable floor.
Note: You'll notice that the download of the DLC is very short. This is because the download is only an unlock code. You need to download patch 1.04 (approx 1500Mb) to download the actual DLC and you can't play the DLC without this update! After the patch the total size of the game will be 2310Mb.
Step - 1: Complete the DLC without skipping levels:
To start the DLC you can use level select or you can tap on the top left television on the right side of the main menu. Just complete all levels without skipping them. There's no need to die in each level but you can try to 3-star them already and look out for the warning signs that are hidden in the levels.
Finishing this step should earn you:
- Deleted Scenes
Glitch: Don't press "Start" on the start screen and then "Continue" to start the DLC. The game will start to slow down and freeze. If you did this then restart the game and start the DLC in another way.
Step - 2: 3-star all levels:
3-star all levels you didn't 3-star so far. See Oh the Pain for more information on this step.
Finishing this step should earn you:
- Oh the Pain
Step - 3: Complete the two Director's Cut challenges with an A+ ranking:
In this step you have to complete the two Director's Cut challenges of the Efficiency Challenge with an A+ ranking. You can do this step inbetween the previous steps if you want because challenge mode is a completely separate mode from story mode. See Challenge Accepted for more information on this step.
Finishing this step should earn you:
- Challenge Accepted
Step - 4 Clean-up:
If you didn't find all warning signs or got 3 stars in each level or completed each challenge with an A+ ranking, then now is the time to do so. You can use level select to get the warning signs you missed and to replay the levels for 3-starring them. In challenge mode you can replay each challenge as many times as you want.
