Subchapter: Farmstead
While inside the house at the farm, next to the staircase you'll see a grandfather clock. The grandfather clock doesn't have any specific prompt, however, both players will need to go up and interact with it at the same time for a secret room to open up on the staircase. Head upstairs and interact with the box in this room for the achievement/trophy and a nice Legend of Zelda easter egg.
En la granja, una vez inmovilicemos a la pareja que vive en ella o liberemos a los caballos para que éstos se marchen tras ellos, recorreremos libremente el salón de la casa. Allí, junto a las escaleras hay un reloj de péndulo. Debemos acercarnos y presionar el botón de interacción con ambos personajes a la vez. Una puerta secreta se abrirá en las escaleras y ahí encontraremos un cofre, en cuyo interior hallaremos una espada. Este trofeo es una clara referencia a la saga The Legend of Zelda.
On the farm, once we immobilize the couple that lives there or release the horses so that they can follow them, we will freely roam the living room of the house. There, next to the stairs, is a pendulum clock. We must approach and press the interaction button with both characters at the same time. A secret door will open on the stairs and there we will find a chest, inside which we will find a sword. This trophy is a clear reference to The Legend of Zelda saga.
Chapter Select: Fugitives - Farmstead
Trophy unlocks for both players? Yes
This is trophy can be done after making a choice to either do Vincent's way of releasing the horses or Leo's way of subduing the couple by tying them up. The choice you make won't matter for the trophy, so pick whichever choice you want during your playthrough. After completing the choice that you've selected, you should have the following objectives:
- Change clothes
- Get to truck
Ignore the above objectives and do the all the trophy requirements on this farm.
This trophy is an Easter Egg of Zelda: A Link to the Past. To achieve the trophy, enter the house and go into the living room. Across the fireplace is a grandfather clock that both players can interact with. You'll both need to time your interaction with the Grandfather Clock and press the button at the same time. If done correctly, a brief cutscene will happen and the sound of a door opening will be heard. Go upstairs and enter the hidden door to find a treasure chest. Open the treasure chest to trigger another cutscene and the trophy will unlock.
If you've fixed the truck to trigger the getaway section, then you've gone too far and will need to use Chapter Select.
Upon reaching the farm, choose either option to get rid of the old people. Now, go to the main room and have both players go to the grandfather clock underneath the stairs. Both players have to interact (X) with it at the same time even though there is no prompt. This will open a secret door on the stair case. Go instead the secret room and interact with the treasure chest. Achievement unlocks.
This trophy can be seen in the video guide at 6:44:
In the old couples house you will find a clock next to the bookcase. Have both players interact with the clock at the same time, then head upstairs to the secret room on the staircase. Open the chest in the corner, and the trophy will unlock for both players.
Here's a visual aid:
This unlocks during the chapter ‘Fugitives: The Farmstead’.
After taking care of the old couple (either subduing them or distracting them with the horses), enter the house. In the living room, next to the stairs, is a grandfather clock. With both characters standing at it, both players at the same time need to press (there will not be a prompt) to pull on the cords. You will hear something open, so turn around and walk up the stairs and you will have opened a secret door on the second landing. Walk into that secret room, open the chest in the far corner and whoever opened it will turn around a raise a sword in the air. When you drop the sword the achievement will unlock.
Note: As long as you don’t complete the objectives, you have unlimited time to do this. You can also unlock both “Take It For A Spin” and “In Sync” in this same scene.
This achievement starts at [01:37:50] in Maka’s video walkthrough.
