Crisol Wiki & Trophy Guide
Welcome to our Crisol: Theater Of Idols Wiki, where you can find everything you need to 100% the game.
Estimated time to platinum: 15 Hours.
Difficulty: 4/10
Missable trophies: 23 (everything that is not story related).
Intro.
Crisol: Theater of Idols has a fairly standard platinum trophy for the genre, though most trophies are missable because there is no chapter select, and you cannot revisit areas once you leave them. The majority of trophies are tied to collectibles, with 227 items spread across 11 categories, all required for completion. You will most likely need at least two playthroughs unless you can finish the game on Hard difficulty, collect all 227 items, and complete the game within three hours in a single run. While this is technically possible, a two-playthrough approach is recommended for most players. Some save scumming near the end is also required to avoid an additional run, since you must complete the game without purchasing or upgrading anything from the shop while also unlocking all upgrades. Everything will be explained in detail below. Please note that at the time of writing, the Thanks for Your Donation trophy is bugged and may not unlock.
Step 1. Martyr Playthrough + Collectibles + No Upgrades.
Play through the game while following the collectibles guide and select the Martyr difficulty for the Untouchable trophy. At the time of writing, it is possible to unlock Untouchable by using Custom difficulty with the easiest settings, but this may be patched later, so Martyr is recommended. During this playthrough, do not purchase or upgrade anything from any shop. When you reach the final shop at Tormentosa Fair in the Final Chapter, create a manual save. Finish the game without buying anything to unlock the Piece of Cake trophy. After the credits, reload your manual save, upgrade all weapons, and purchase every skill to earn the Warlord and Sanguinomancer trophies.
Make sure to collect as many coins as possible along the way. You need a total of 30000 coins for the Thanks For Your Donation trophy, and since there are close to 40000 coins available in the game, you do not need to collect every single one. Be aware that this trophy may be bugged and might not unlock, which could require another playthrough. During this run, you should also work on the miscellaneous trophies, including performing 30 parries, absorbing 30 chickens, shooting an astillado in the arm that is carrying dynamite, and defeating two enemies with a single shot.
Step 2. The 3 Hour Speedrun.
The only trophy you should have remaining at this point is Runs In The Blood, which requires you to finish the game in under three hours. Since you have already completed a full playthrough, you should be familiar with the overall layout and objectives. For this run, select the easiest difficulty, keep notes on how to complete the puzzles as quickly as possible, and run past most enemies instead of fighting them. With a clean route and minimal stops, you should finish with time to spare and earn the platinum trophy.

You can play all 3 on your first visit after the prologue. These minigames will give you tickets to spend at the ticket booth in the fair and you will need to play them each time you return from a chapter to get more tickets if you want every collectible. Note that once you start chapter 3, these minigames will become unavailable for the rest of the game.

However, you will first need to find the correct Solari Brooch to open the chest with that same number on it. You can find them all by following our All Collectibles guide.

Detonate a stick of dynamite from an Astillado.
Sometimes you will come across enemies that run at you with dynamite in their hands. To get this trophy, shoot the arm holding the dynamite a few times until it explodes.
Defeat two enemies with one shot.
You can get this with a few different weapons. I got it by shooting a few enemies at medium range with the shotgun to weaken them. Then line them up together and shoot them from point-blank range with the shotgun again. An easier way to do this is to wait until the Final Chapter, where you can get the Harpoon Launcher, which is basically a grenade launcher. There are also large groups of enemies in the final chapter, making it easier.
Defeat 100 enemies.
Almost story related, there are way more than 100 enemies in the game, so unless you are actively running past everything, you should get this automatically.
Perform 30 parries.
You can parry with your knife by pressing R1 just as an attack is about to hit you. Do this 30 times to get the trophy.
Fully upgrade the syringe satchel.
You can upgrade your syringe at any shop by selecting Arsenal. You can upgrade it 3 times, and it will cost you around 3000 coins. Remember to not do this until you load a manual save after finishing the game without purchasing anything from the shop for the Piece of Cake trophy.
Fully upgrade your health.
You can upgrade your max HP by finding Holy Blood. There are a total of 10, and they are all missable. You can find them all by following our All Collectibles guide.
Fully upgrade a weapon.
You can upgrade your weapons at any shop by selecting Arsenal. You will spend coins to purchase the upgrades. Each weapon can be upgraded multiple times in multiple ways. Once you have fully upgraded a single weapon, you will get this trophy. Remember to not do this until you load a manual save after finishing the game without purchasing anything from the shop for the Piece of Cake trophy.
Fully upgrade all weapons.
You can upgrade your weapons at any shop by selecting Arsenal. You will spend coins to purchase the upgrades. Each weapon can be upgraded multiple times in multiple ways. Once you have fully upgraded every weapon, you will get this trophy. If you made a manual save before upgrading anything and you are a few coins short, you can load that save, upgrade the weapons and not the syringe, and save around 3k coins. Remember to not do this until you load a manual save after finishing the game without purchasing anything from the shop for the Piece of Cake trophy.
Unlock all skills.
You can unlock new skills at any shop by selecting Skills. You will spend Crow Relics to unlock them. You will need all 31 to unlock every skill. These are all missable and can be found by following our All Collectibles guide. Remember to not do this until you load a manual save after finishing the game without purchasing anything from the shop for the Piece of Cake trophy.
Complete story mode on the highest difficulty.
Finish the game on the Martyr difficulty. Note that at the time of writing the trophy will also unlock if you select the Custom difficulty and set everything to the easiest option.
Complete story mode without purchasing anything in the shop.
Obtained by finishing the game without using the Arsenal/Skills menu in the shop. Make a manual save at the final shop at the Tormentosa Fair during The Final Chapter. This way, you can load that save after finishing the game and getting this trophy to get the upgrade-related trophies.
Complete story mode in under 3 hours.
I recommend leaving this one for last. Once you have learned the main story path and completed the game on hard, select the easiest difficulty and just run through the game.
