Ruffy and the Riverside

PS5

Ruffy and the Riverside rewards using Swap outside story objectives too. A texture can open a path to a gem, solve a mosaic or make a race easier. Start with movement and the characters who track collections, then use the pause menu to find unfinished requests.

Ruffy and the Riverside PS5 base list, including story, races and Riverside collections.

  • Difficulty: Race wins and puzzle solutions are the main challenges.
  • Missables: Check activities and revisit regions with new abilities.
  • Online: Five Fellows races take place in the game world without other players.

Open routes with Swap during the story

Try changing the surface blocking the way before looking for a switch. Water turned into ice, for instance, can turn a jet into a platform. Progress through the farm until you can use a hay bale. You will need it for rails and clues you could not reach on foot.

  • Revisit rails once you have a hay bale.

Find the clue before each Pattern Potato

On the Riverside Town ramparts, find the grid monument and compare it with the pattern shown in town. Use Swap to copy tiles and recreate the pattern. In the canyon beneath the Five Fellows track, a clue at one end belongs to the puzzle at the other. Track any Dreamstones you earn so you can deliver them to Pix.

  • Deliver Dreamstones to Pix after solving patterns.

Open Sir Eddler’s and the serpents’ requests

Speak to Sir Eddler at the gem shop counter to start the legendary gem collection. When the eastern path stops at the Serpent Door, look for the serpents’ clues rather than trying to jump past the gate. The area beyond the door contains more collectibles and the part of the request involving the dig.

  • Check Sir Eddler’s requests and access to the Serpent Door.

Take on the Five Fellows one at a time

Sign up with Roybert at the track and watch where the rival uses the terrain. Look around the course for elements you can change with Swap before starting; acceleration alone is not the solution. Track all five wins. Bale Rally is a separate challenge and should still be checked after the final rival.

  • Track the five wins separately from Bale Rally.

Audit requests and collections from the pause menu

Check butterflies, Etoi and dirty areas one region at a time. Return butterflies to Quintus when his request calls for them, and look for Etoi along side routes. Before the last stretch, visit the shops for capes and see which upgrades remain. Buying every cape and maxing them out are separate trophies.

  • Check cape levels, Etoi and butterflies separately.

Frequently asked questions

Do Pattern Potatoes only award a trophy?

Solving one can also uncover a Dreamstone. Bring it to Pix for that collection.

Does beating one Fellow unlock Big cheater?

No. You need a win against all five. The first win has its own trophy.

Where do I check unfinished requests?

Use the pause menu to compare requests with collections by region. Swap or the hay bale opens many clue routes.
