Every trophy in The Witness, other than the Platinum, is hidden. The list is quite short at only 14 trophies, but it is made up of eleven golds, two silvers and the one aforementioned platinum. The list is also quite easy with 11 of the trophies being awarded for activating one of the game’s lasers. Below outlines what exactly is required to unlock each of The Witness’ hidden trophies.
