PS4
Start on Hard to avoid a second full campaign. Open chests as you go and watch how shielded, ranged and stunned enemies react. Combat actions have separate counters, so varying attacks during the story saves cleanup later.
43-trophy PS4 list for Knack 2. Local co-op is optional.
- Difficulty: All chapters on Hard; one on Very Hard.
- Medals: 70 Knack medals, with five stars in every Time and Coliseum Attack.
- Cleanup: Chapter select lets you return to missed chests.
Finish the story on Hard
Select Hard before the first chapter and keep it through the story. Learn the jump kick for moving in and out of danger, but use the heavy punch when an enemy blocks. Spend points on abilities you actually use to reduce retries in arenas.
- Check the difficulty marks on the chapter screen.
Find chests and finish the gadgets
Check suspicious walls, alcoves and passages accessible only while Knack is small. Collect parts as you go; arriving at the ending short of gadgets means replaying chapters. Keep relic-energy chests separate in your notes, because they are not the gadget parts.
- Check the gadget panel and revisit only incomplete stages.
Finish moves and combat counters
Keep the same save when finishing skills and super moves. When attempting a parry, make sure the deflected attack defeats the enemy; a plain block does not count. In chapters with many opponents, alternate jump kicks, kicks and attacks against immobilised targets to avoid leaving every counter until the end.
- Equip the combo meter for the 100-hit attempt.
Get five stars in every challenge
For Time Attack, learn where to avoid detours and when it is worth striking an enemy. In the Coliseum, practise the waves and watch the score; finishing the arena does not guarantee five stars. If you miss the result, retry that challenge with the abilities and gadgets you unlocked.
- Check both modes’ stars separately.
Reach 70 medals and clear Very Hard
Use chapter select to read the remaining medal conditions. Pick the ones that suit your skills; you do not have to complete every possible campaign challenge. For Very Hard, choose a short chapter you already know and clear it without replaying the entire story on that difficulty.
- Verify 70 medals and the single Very Hard chapter.

Frequently asked questions
Must I replay the whole story on Very Hard?
No. One chapter is enough for that trophy; the complete campaign must be cleared on Hard.

No. Local co-op is an option, not a trophy requirement.
Are missed chests permanent?
No. Chapter select lets you recover them after the ending.
