Introduction
The Swapper is a cross buy game for the PS4/PS3/Vita systems. It is a puzzle platforming game where you will use clones to solve puzzles. It’s a critically acclaimed game with a beautiful soundtrack made by Facepalm Games.
All 10 trophies can be missed. There is a point of no return and once you have crossed that point you will need to replay the game from the beginning. The trophies themselves are really easy to get. Think of it has having to find 10 collectibles and then getting a trophy for each of those 10. In fact, the trophies and descriptions are just Roman Numerals numbered from I-X. The difficulty is based on you using a puzzle solution walkthrough. Without one, difficulty can be much trickier and will be determined by your own problem solving skills.
To get 100% on this game in just over an hour, you will need to follow a walkthrough for the puzzles. I do not recommend you do that if you want to experience the game and feel the joy of solving the puzzles on your own. Completing the game without a walkthrough will require a much longer time investment determined by your puzzle solving skills.
Walkthrough
Step 1: Find all 10 hidden secret memory terminals – This game has just one single step. You need to locate all the hidden memory terminals. There are ten in the game and each one will award you with a trophy. These terminals are so ridiculously well hidden that I don’t believe anyone would happen upon them on their own.
You must find each of these terminals before passing the point of no return. The point of no return is the console you need 124 orbs to activate. This is at the end of the game. Before activating this console, you can freely explore any area you have previously been. Just use one of the many teleporters to get around. You will have 100% before you even complete the game.

Missable – You must get this before activating the 124 orb console.
This is in the quarantine area. You will take a lift up a yellow room where you need two orbs to activate a panel. You will need to use a clone to reach the upper hatch (hatches are the entrances and exits in and out of areas). In the next room, you will see some red light just left of the watcher stone. Create a clone up there, and then another one to the right and continue walking to the right.

This one is in the Gardens section. You will come to an area with an area with an arrow pointing up that will lead to a hatch with an orb in it. The puzzle in this room requires you to create a chain of clones while the door on the opposite side opens up.
Once you grab the orb, fall to the bottom of the pit (make sure to create and then switch into a clone before falling to your death). Once you’re at the bottom, just walk left and into a secret area that leads to the terminal.

Missable – You must get this before activating the 124 orb console.
This terminal is located right after getting the 6 orbs required to unlock a console in the Cargo Bay. You will jump into your first gravity transport. Once through the short transport you will need to immediately go to the bottom. You will need all 4 of your clones for this.
Once at the bottom, create a clone as far left as possible, then another one far left before having to create one down. After reaching what looks like a dead end, create a clone through the wall to the right.

Missable – You must get this before activating the 124 orb console.
This will be after traveling through a zero gravity area in the Laboratory Access. This will take you into a room with the 15 orb console. When you enter that room, you will see a electricity trap below you. Make your way to the right of that electric trap and then create a clone through the wall to the left of it.

Missable – You must get this before activating the 124 orb console.
This one is located in the Xeno Technology Research area. Go through the first area and exit the bottom left door and in the next section, create a clone on top of a small block to the lop left of the area. From there, just jump up and left into a secret area.

Missable – You must get this before activating the 124 orb console.
From the previous location, if you look at the map there will be a hatch to the bottom right. Go into that room and solve the puzzle. After solving the puzzle, you can reach a secret area. Do that by pulling out the block on the bottom and then create a clone on the switch on the middle platform, then create and switch to a clone on the top. From there you can now clone yourself to the far right to the secret area.

Missable – You must get this before activating the 124 orb console.
After taking the really long sector 3 elevator, you will come to a room with the secret terminal. However, you need to be upside down to get it. So head out into the next area and walk across the gravity switch that will reverse your gravity. Now go back into the room you just came from and walk along the ceiling to the far left and walk into a secret area. You will need to jump over a gravity switch on the way.

Missable – You must get this before activating the 124 orb console.
This is in the same room as the 66 orb console. Once you hit the solar panel release button, a rocket like object will take off. Shoot a couple clones straight up where it used to be and then to the right. Sometimes after shooting your first clone, the camera doesn’t pan up right away so just wait a moment until it moves for you.

Missable – You must get this before activating the 124 orb console.
This is in the area right before the room with the 93 orb console. You will walk over a gravity switch that will shoot you straight up and eventually into a white tunnel looking thing. At the top of your jump, aim a clone straight up twice, and then a third one that will need to be a little to the right as well. Now just create a clone to the left and walk to the panel.

Missable – You must get this before activating the 124 orb console.
This will be towards the end of the game in the Command area. You will sit through a cut scene showing black and white security footage, and then have to sit through another cut scene in the next room. After finally being able to move on, call the elevator on the right and in this next area will be a blueish room with a lot of watcher stones who talk to you. You need to take the lift on the right side to get to the second level. There is a secret room you can’t see to the right but it’s a little to high for you to reach so use the elevator’s momentum to get additional height on your jump.
