Unlocking the gold trophy “You Asked For It Again” in The Evil Within 2 requires completing the game on Classic Mode, the most punishing difficulty setting available. With limited saves and ruthless enemies, it’s a true test of skill. However, a patch introduced official cheat codes for Bethesda.net users—making this once-daunting trophy far more accessible.
Here’s how to activate these cheats and earn the trophy (and even the platinum) without the stress.
What Makes Classic Mode So Brutal?
Classic Mode is intended for the most dedicated survival horror fans. Here’s why it’s so challenging:
- 🔒 Limited Saves – Only seven manual saves allowed for the entire playthrough. Die in between and it’s back to your last save.
- 💀 Increased Difficulty – Enemies hit harder, healing is scarce, and checkpoints are disabled.
- 🧠 Mental Pressure – Long stretches of tense gameplay with no safety net.
For many, Classic Mode was a dealbreaker—until the release of Bethesda.net cheats.
How to Enable Cheats
To unlock cheat access, follow these steps:
- Create a Bethesda.net Account
- Sign up at bethesda.net if you don’t already have one.
- Link the Account In-Game
- From the main menu, log in to connect your Bethesda.net account.
- Activate Cheats in Options
Once linked, three powerful cheats will become available in the settings:- 🛡 Infinite Health – Become virtually invincible to most damage.
- ⚔️ One-Hit Kills – Defeat enemies and bosses with a single strike.
- 🏃 Infinite Stamina – Run endlessly without exhaustion.
✅ Important: These cheats do not disable trophies—you can still earn “You Asked For It Again” and the platinum trophy with them enabled.
How Cheats Change Classic Mode
With cheats turned on, the game shifts from high-stakes horror to a fast-paced, enjoyable ride through the story:
- Infinite Health removes the threat of death entirely, letting you focus on exploration.
- One-Hit Kills neutralize even elite enemies and bosses instantly.
- Infinite Stamina lets you zip through areas, dodge threats, and explore efficiently.
The atmosphere remains, but the fear factor is greatly reduced.
Tips for Beating Classic Mode With Cheats
Even with cheats, a little strategy helps. Here’s how to breeze through Classic Mode:
- Save Strategically
- Save before boss fights, puzzle-heavy sequences, or known buggy sections.
- Explore Without Fear
- Use your invincibility to collect ammo, keys, and collectibles without caution.
- Use Cheats Smartly
- While most combat is trivialized, scripted deaths, fall damage, or environmental hazards may still kill you. Stay alert.
- Enjoy the Ride
- With stress lifted, take time to appreciate the narrative, world design, and chilling atmosphere.
Why Use Cheats?
Some players might question the legitimacy of using cheats. But:
- The developers intentionally added them.
- They don’t block trophies.
- They offer a second chance to players who found Classic Mode too punishing.
It’s a valid way to enjoy the full game and earn its rarest achievements—without burnout.
A Word to Hardcore Players
If you’ve beaten Classic Mode the traditional way: respect. That’s a serious accomplishment. But for those who struggled—or gave up—the cheat-enabled route is a welcome lifeline.
Final Thoughts
Thanks to official cheat codes, unlocking “You Asked For It Again” in The Evil Within 2 no longer requires frustration or countless retries. Whether you’re returning to finish your trophy list or playing for the first time, this method makes the journey far more accessible—without sacrificing the thrill of the game.
So go ahead: fire up the cheats, dive back into Union, and finally earn that platinum trophy. You’ve earned it—no matter how you got there.
🎮 Happy hunting, detective.
