Directive 8020 has 11 missable trophies / achievements. The good news: chapter-select after your first clear lets you recover most of them. The bad news: Crew Manifest tracks a deathless campaign — once a character dies, that run is dead for the trophy.
Missable trophy table
| Trophy | Trigger Chapter | Locked By | Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crew Manifest | Ep 4–8 | Any character death past Episode 4 | Chapter-select cannot restore deaths — must replay from Ep 1. |
| Hold the Line | Ep 7 | Failing any defence-wave QTE | Chapter-select Episode 7 from the start. |
| Foreseen | Ep 1–7 | Skipping a premonition scan in any chapter | Curator's Cut second perspective re-spawns missed premonitions. |
| Behind the Curtain | Ep 6 end | Skipping the Curator monologue | Replay Ep 6 — chapter-select works. |
| Director's Eye | Post-Run 1 | Not starting Curator's Cut | Always available after first clear. |
| Variant Encyclopedia | All | Missing any secret note across the campaign | Chapter-select per episode allows backfill. |
| Beacon (Ending A) | Ep 8 | Failed save-everyone route + wrong final choice | Chapter-select Ep 7 with full saves carried. |
| Sacrifice (Ending B) | Ep 8 | Wrong Ep 8 dialogue | Chapter-select Ep 7. |
| Quiet Drift (Ending C) | Ep 8 | Wrong Ep 8 dialogue | Chapter-select Ep 7. |
| Last Light (Ending D) | Ep 7–8 | Wrong Ep 7 vote + Ep 8 dialogue | Chapter-select Ep 7. |
| Forgive Me (Ending E) | Ep 7–8 | Need full-crew loss | Chapter-select Ep 7 with everyone alive — then tank QTEs. |
Safe-run rules
- Treat Run 1 as the Crew Manifest run. Follow the save-everyone route.
- Scan every premonition (17 total) — never skip a glowing prompt.
- Take the Curator monologue at the end of Ep 6 before advancing to Ep 7.
- Pick up every secret note as you go; don't bank them for later runs.
- Make a manual save before Episode 7 starts. Endings B–E mop up from this save.
FAQ
How many missable trophies are in Directive 8020?
Eleven of the 16 trophies are missable. Most can be recovered through chapter-select after one full clear, except Crew Manifest which requires a clean Ep 1–8 run.
Does Directive 8020 have chapter select?
Yes. Chapter-select unlocks after the credits roll on your first clear and lets you reload from the start of any episode for trophy mop-up.
Which missable is the hardest?
Crew Manifest — it requires zero character deaths across the campaign. Episode 5's loadlifter QTE chain and Episode 7's defence waves are the failure points.
