One such trophy is A Light in the Darkness, which requires you to blow on the campfire at just the right time. If you miss this opportunity, it is gone for good. In this guide, we will show you exactly how to make sure you do not miss the “Blow on Fire” Trophy or Achievement, so you’re able to unlock it without a hitch.
How to get A Light in the Darkness Achievement / Trophy in Road 96
While playingEpisode 1of Road 96, during theSmells Like Teen Spirit chapter, you will encounter Zoe for the first time in the trailer park. This meeting presents an opportunity to unlock the “A Light in the Darkness” Achievement or Trophy.
During this chapter, you will have two options for where to sleep overnight:
No matter which option you pick—whether you go for the comfort of a trailer or the simplicity of sleeping outdoors—you willstill have a key interaction with Zoe.
If youchoose the trailer,Zoe will wake you up in the middle of the nightand invite you to hang out by a campfire. The spot is cozy, with a radio nearby and a scenic view from a slightly elevated cliff.
NOTE:A similar scenario happens if you do not opt for the cozy trailer option and sleep for free. We confirmed this in another playthrough so the choice regarding where you sleep for the night hardly matters.
As you sit by the fire, Zoe will make conversation and even joke about her love for marshmallows, asking if you have one to share.
Before diving further into conversation with Zoe, you will notice a couple of dialogue options:
However, we recommend first turning the camera at the campfire. Look closely, and you will see a third option appear:“Blow on Fire.”
Choosing this optionwill prompt Zoe to sneeze, andunlock the “A Light in the Darkness” Achievement or Trophyin Road 96.
What if You Missed Blowing the Fire?
In Road 96, you only have one save file for your entire playthrough, so if you miss this moment, there is no way to go back. If you are already halfway through the story or further, the smartest approach is to finish the game’s narrative and then replay this moment inNew Game Plus.
Although the“A Light in the Darkness” Trophy (Gold)orAchievement (worth 40 Gamerscore)is incredibly easy to unlock, it is just as easy to miss in Road 96.
To avoid any regrets, make sure you interact with the campfire and choose the“Blow on Fire”option. This simple action earns you the trophy or achievement and lets you continue the story without worrying about missed opportunities—especially if you are the kind of player who aims for 100% completion.
