Stray has quite a few trophies and achievements that reward you for doing cat things, like meowing 100 times, nuzzling up against robots, and evening dying nine times. One challenge, however, is less straightforward and a bit more perplexing. It asks you to scratch the vinyl in the club during Chapter 10: Midtown. If you’re here, you’re like me and wondering how to do it.
Scratch was one of the last trophies I got in Stray because I just couldn’t figure out how to do it, despite playing Midtown several times to find all of B12’s memories (which can also be a bit head-scratching). Here’s what to do. You can use this link to skip down to the solution if you already know how to get to the club.
How to Get to the Club in Stray
To enter the club, you’ll need to first steal the battery from the Neco factory by helping Blazer get the worker jacket and construction helmet. Once you have the battery, return to Clementine’s apartment, and solve the item puzzle she leaves behind, finding out that she’s gone to the club.
Exit the apartment block by crawling under the barricade out front. Take the alleyway immediately to your left, the one bathed in red light with the vehicle parked in it. Go straight to the end, and jump up on the verticle orange sign on the ground, just to the right of the Companion sitting on the metal awning.
Climb up, and stay left along the pipes to cross over the alleyway and to the building across from the Companion. You’ll see another Companion leaning out of a window as you walk around the pipe. Speak to them to enter the club.
How to Get the Record to Scratch Vinyl
Once you enter the club, you’ll see the bar to your left and the stage to your right. Go between the bar and the stage to the opposite side of the room. You’ll see some TVs stacked against the wall on the left side. Jump up to the table to the right of those to find a record (which is arguably harder to spot than all four notebooks in The Slums).
Take the record up to the turntables, and place it on the left side if you’re facing the DJs. A prompt will appear, and you’ll be able to scratch the record.
Now that you know how to scratch the vinyl in the club, you have yet another Stray trophy and achievement to add to your collection. For more tips, check out our other Stray guides, like how to get all Badges and where to find all of the music sheets for Morusque.
