Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake packs 51 achievements and trophies into one of the most atmospheric horror experiences in recent memory. Whether you're hunting every ghost with the Camera Obscura, chasing alternate endings, or digging through every corner of Minakami Village for hidden documents, this guide walks you through exactly what you need to unlock the full list.
How Many Achievements Are in Fatal Frame II Crimson Butterfly Remake?
The game includes exactly 51 achievements and trophies, and the unlock conditions are identical whether you're playing on Xbox or PlayStation. That means no platform-exclusive grind, just one consistent checklist across both versions.
The trophies span six major categories: story progression, alternate endings, ghost photography, collectibles, Camera Obscura mechanics, and exploration actions. Most players will naturally earn a solid chunk of these just by finishing the story once, but full completion demands at least two playthroughs and careful planning.

Story Chapter Achievements: What Unlocks Automatically?
The eight chapter-clear trophies unlock automatically as you progress through the main story. You cannot miss these.
These eight are the backbone of any completion run. Focus on learning the game's mechanics during this first pass rather than stressing over missables.
What Are All the Ending Achievements?
Four trophies are tied to reaching specific endings, and a fifth rewards finishing the game on Nightmare difficulty. Here's what each requires:
- Crimson Butterfly | Reach the Crimson Butterfly ending
- The Promise | Reach The Promise ending
- The Abyss | Reach The Abyss ending
- Lonely Road Home | Reach the Lonely Road Home ending
- The Remaining Sun | Reach the Remaining Sun ending
- A Butterfly's Dream | Complete any ending on Nightmare difficulty
- Sprouting Wings | Reach the Sprouting Wings ending
Ghost Photography Achievements: How to Photograph Every Ghost Type?
Four trophies require you to photograph every ghost within a specific category. These are among the most exploration-intensive trophies in the game.
- Solace For The Tortured | Photograph all wraiths
- Chasing The Shades | Photograph all specters
- Finding Faint Remains | Photograph all revenants
- Dual Funeral Rites | Photograph all twin dolls
The key strategy here is to photograph every ghost encounter the moment it appears. Some ghosts only show up in specific chapters and will not reappear if you skip them. Keeping a mental note (or an actual list) of which ghost types you've captured prevents painful backtracking.
Camera Obscura and Combat Trophies
These trophies reward mastery of the Camera Obscura, which is the core combat and exploration tool throughout the game.
- Obscura Improvement | Enhance the Camera Obscura
- Filter Improvement | Enhance any filter
- The True Camera Obscura | Fully upgrade the Camera Obscura and all its filters
- Special Portfolio | Land 100 Special Shots
- Fatal Portfolio | Execute 100 Fatal Frames
- Apparition Ambush | Take 10 Sneak Shots
- Wraith Wrangler | Land 10 Multi Shots
- Fatal Occasion | Trigger Fatal Time 10 times
- Type-07 Master | Defeat Sae Kurosawa using only Type-07 film
The Type-07 Master trophy is widely considered the hardest in the game. Type-07 film is the weakest available, which means the Sae Kurosawa boss fight becomes significantly more punishing. Save this challenge for a dedicated run once you're comfortable with the game's mechanics.

- Sae's Divine Protection | Obtain Sae's Sparkling Spirit Stone
- Yae's Divine Protection | Obtain Yae's Sparkling Spirit Stone
- Kusabi's Divine Protection | Obtain a Sparkling Kusabi Spirit Stone
The Change of Mood trophy is one of the easiest to miss simply because players often forget to interact with the outfit option at Butterfly Lantern save points. Check this early.
What Is the Platinum or Master Trophy?
The Crimson Reminiscence trophy unlocks when you earn every other achievement or trophy in the game. It's the ultimate reward for completing the full checklist and signals total mastery of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake.
How Many Playthroughs Do You Need for 100% Completion?
Most players require at least two full playthroughs, and potentially a third for specific challenge conditions like the Type-07 Master trophy or the Nightmare difficulty ending. Here's a practical approach:
- First playthrough: Focus on the story, photograph every ghost you encounter, collect documents, and interact with all exploration points.
- Second playthrough: Target alternate endings you missed, mop up any ghost photography gaps, and complete charm upgrades.
- Optional third run: Tackle the Nightmare difficulty ending and the Type-07 Master boss challenge if you haven't completed them yet.
