DARQ Platinum Walkthrough Video (1hr 13mins)

DARQ: Complete Edition Platinum Walkthrough Video (1 hour 13 minutes).
Full Game & Trophy Guide. Including all trophies and speedruns of the extra levels The Tower & The Crypt.

Brilliant new horror puzzle game by Unfold Games. I loved it! I highly recommend it! 

Trophy-wise is mainly straightforward, there is just 1 collectable in each chapter, and nothing is missable as there is chapter select.
Be aware there are a couple of little speedrun trophies in this game, that may need a little practice for you to get, but they're not so bad. 2 are for completing singular puzzles quickly, 1 is for completing extra level The Tower in under 6 minutes, and lastly one is for completing extra level The Crypt in under 12 minutes. I include these speedruns in this video at the end

 

I've also written a text walkthrough for those of you that prefer those  link: https://dexdotexe.com/darq-trophy-guide-and-text-walkthrough/

Can confirm this guide got me platinum, and narrating the directions out loud enabled me to follow a lot of it without looking at the video guide at all, which was awesome. Nice job.
