Resonance points: the only missable trophy and how not to blow it

Like a warrior asks for 165 of the run's 200 resonance points, and they are the only collectible chapter select does not give back. A margin of 35 and no safety net.

The rule, in one sentence

Every collectible in Resonance can be picked up afterwards, from chapter select. Every one except the resonance points.

That sentence is the whole game from a trophy point of view. Like a warrior asks you to unlock the six mastery branches, and buying them all costs 165 resonance points. The run contains 200.

Margin: 35 points. Enough to slip up a little, not enough to ignore them.

Finish the campaign on 160 and there is nothing to be done: there is no New Game+, and replaying the chapter where you left the points does not give them back. The only way out is a second full run.

Careful

It is the game's only missable trophy. Everything else — relics, blades, charms, echoes and even the combat trophies — can be mopped up from chapter select.

Where the 200 points come from

Resonance points are not a hidden collectible in the usual sense. They come from three places, two of them automatic:

- Story fights. Finishing the mandatory encounters awards points. These cannot be missed. - The main path. A good share of the loose points sit in plain view or one step off the normal route, often next to another collectible. - Optional corners. A minority are off-route, and those are the ones people lose.

That spread is the good news: explore normally and reaching the number is the normal outcome. The problem shows up when someone plays Resonance like a corridor, moving scene to scene, and arrives at the end on 140.

The second piece of good news is that the game tracks the count per chapter. Chapter select shows how many collectibles you have and how many are missing in each one, so there is no guessing.

How to play the run so you don't blow it

Three decisions, none of which costs time:

1. Buy the masteries as you go, not at the end. The trophy pops when you unlock the sixth branch, not when you finish the game. And buying as you go makes you play better anyway.

2. Check the collectible counter before changing chapters. You do not need to do it every time; a glance every two or three chapters is enough to spot a systematic shortfall.

3. If you reach Chapter 10 well under halfway, fix it now. At the midpoint you should be around 100. Correcting in Chapter 10 is annoying; finding out in Chapter 13 means starting over.

And a practical note on invincible mode: it blocks no trophy at all. If surviving is costing you and that makes you rush through the environments, turn it on. Exploring calmly is exactly what this trophy rewards.

Other Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy guides

The two bridges: where every combat trophy gets farmed
Eleven combat trophies and two places where nearly all of them fall: the Chapter 4 bridge and the Chapter 10 one. With section restart, none takes more than ten minutes.
The thirteen chapters: what each one unlocks and where not to walk past
No chapter trophy is missable, but each chapter opens a mechanic other trophies depend on. The full map: which blade, which ability and which farming spot sits in each one.
The 80 collectibles: relics, blades, charms and echoes
Five trophies between 2.0% and 5.7%, all recoverable from chapter select. Two of them close themselves if you do another, and Chapters 8 and 14 hold nothing.
The creature: four trophies, two chapters and the trail of blue dust
All four creature trophies are hidden and all four farm by restarting the section: two in Chapter 6 and two in Chapter 13. From 20.0% to 3.3%, and none depends on aim.
The turtle and the puppets: the two trophies you lose by not stopping
The two easiest trophies in the game are held by 30%, and not through difficulty: they sit in Chapters 2 and 3, off the path, and the game pulls you forward.
Brutes, Corrupted and petrified: the three trophies that depend on the enemy
Excessive force is the game's lowest combat trophy at 2.7%, and it fails when you do what instinct tells you. The three special enemies, which chapter each appears in, and what to do backwards.
