If you need a second or third nightmare run, do it! Step 2: Insane Difficulty without Batteries Better practice now and memorize the entire game than to take up 30 tries on insane mode. If you die on insane you will have to replay the entire game. Repeat difficult sections until you can do them 10 times in a row with 100% success rate. Check out the “Messiah” trophy for a video guide and additional tips. Practice each enemy encounter until you are 100% certain that you can do it each and every time. It is absolutely vital that you know each area by heart and can navigate it in the dark if you have to. For the “Messiah” trophy you will have to beat insane without using any camera batteries. The purpose of this is to practice for insane difficulty. Optional Step (Recommended): Nightmare Difficulty Practice Run What I recommend is that you do an extra run on nightmare to practice for insane mode. You can start on Nightmare and if it’s too hard switch to normal in the game options (difficulty can be adjusted at any time). I do not recommend it, but it’s good training for the Insane playthrough. If you wish you can start on Nightmare difficulty right away. If you don’t do them during your main playthrough then do them via chapter select after the first playthrough. To save some time you can also do the trophies “Thoroughly Baptized” (Spend 10 minutes underwater), “Slip and Slide” (Perform a twelve-meter blood slide ), “Proper Penance” (Crawl for 500 meters) and “Prophet” (Finish the game without hiding in a barrel or closet ). You cannot farm these via checkpoint restart so it has to be done over the course of a playthrough. Also pick up enough batteries for “Them That Hath Ears” and heal yourself 10 times with bandages for “Heal the Sick”. To get to know the game you should start on normal difficulty and find all 105 collectibles (55 documents and 50 recordings). Step 1: Beat the game on normal difficulty, collect all Documents and Recordings

Insane mode is considerably harder than the first game because it is twice as long and has a lot more enemies. If you miss a collectible it can be obtained via chapter select at any time. For your first playthrough it’s advisable that you play on normal or nightmare difficulty and just find all the collectibles. If you die the game restarts from the beginning. Because of this you must know the game by heart and it will require a lot of practice and patience to beat insane mode. Half the game is pitch-black so you won’t be able to see anything. There is an extra challenge: for the “Messiah” trophy you must beat insane without consuming any camera batteries. There are collectibles (documents, recordings) and you must beat the game on insane difficulty – which is a permandeath mode without checkpoints. If you played Outlast 1 you’ll find that the trophy list is just like that.
