Hollowbody Guide: The Complete 100% Achievement Roadmap

Quick Answer: Bagging all 26 achievements in Hollowbody demands at least two full playthroughs. You will need to survive the brutal Punished difficulty, hoard every obscure collectible, and unlock both distinct endings to secure the full 1,000 Gamerscore.

Getting a platinum trophy or a full 1,000 Gamerscore in a survival horror game is rarely a walk in the park. Hollowbody is no exception. With only around 7% of the player base successfully clearing the list, this game makes you work for your bragging rights.

The achievement list features 20 base game challenges and an additional six tied to The Restoration Update DLC. While an experienced player can wrap this up in about eight to ten hours, missing a single document or skipping a hidden signal means you will be replaying entire sections.

Let us break down the absolute best way to tackle this list without wasting your time.

The Most Efficient Route to 100%

Do not try to do everything in one go. The game features two distinct endings and difficulty-specific unlocks that physically prevent a single-run completion. Planning two separate runs is your best bet.

Run One: Exploring Intended Mode

Your first playthrough should be on the standard Intended difficulty. This is your hoarding run.

• Scour every corner for all written documents to grab the ultra-rare Logomaniac unlock.
• Locate all three DLC disks.
• Find every single lost signal.
• Aim for the Reunion ending, which tends to be the natural conclusion most players stumble into first.

Run Two: The Punished Run

Now that you know the map layouts and enemy spawns, it is time to suffer. Boot up a new game on Punished difficulty.

• Survive to the end to earn the Masochist achievement.
• Make the specific narrative choices required to trigger the secret Riven ending.
• Clean up any weird environmental interactions you missed the first time around, like using the car jack or the terminal.

Tracking Down the Lost Signals

Finding all eight lost signals is practically a massive side quest. Locating every single one rewards you with the Walkie-Talkie achievement.

Players are dropping off fast when it comes to these signals. The first one is basically handed to you, but the stats prove that finding the rest requires actually going off the beaten path.

Arming Up: Weapon Unlocks

You cannot just rely on your starting gear if you want full completion. You need to actively hunt down new weapons, and one of them requires utilizing the game’s crafting system.

1. Boomstick: Find the shotgun. Almost 40% of players grab this naturally through normal progression.
2. Quiver Down Your Spine: Craft the bow and arrow. You must locate the necessary materials and the recipe to piece this together.
3. Cooking on Gas: Secure the flamethrower. This is an incredibly rare secret achievement, meaning you will have to search optional areas or solve an obscure puzzle to find the fuel and the weapon.

The Hardest and Most Obscure Secret Achievements

Hollowbody hides its best secrets behind redacted achievement descriptions. Unless you know exactly what you are looking for, these will remain locked forever.

That final achievement, Woof, currently sits at a measly 2.1% unlock rate. The community is still actively figuring out the exact trigger, but exploring optional exterior areas and interacting with the environment is your best bet for popping this elusive trophy.
