Spelunky 2: PS4 and PS5 Platinum Trophy Guide

Spelunky 2

PS4 / PS5

In Spelunky 2, give each run one purpose. A speed run ignores pickups and detours, while a million-dollar run calls for a careful sweep of every floor. Use the early expeditions to recognize traps, practice the descent past Olmec and learn which exit to take. Tackle the Cosmic Ocean only once you can reach the Sunken City without improvising.

PS4 launched September 15, 2020; native PS5 followed March 6, 2025, with 32 trophies per set.

  • Native sets: 32 trophies per set on PS4 and PS5.
  • Run type: Use unseeded single-player runs for the main challenges.
  • Cosmic Ocean: Entry is enough for Awakened; the Journal also has an entry to register in the area.

Learn the normal exit without shortcuts

Start at the entrance and reach Tiamat on the normal route. Use unlocked shortcuts to practice individual zones, then restart from the beginning for Ironman, Speedlunky and Low Scorer. In the speed attempt, descend once you see a safe line; on the no-treasure attempt, avoid pots and blocks that could spill gold beneath you.

  • Keep the sub-ten-minute finish separate from the run with no treasure pickups.

Use the Tablet to reach Sunken City

One route starts in Volcana: take Vlad’s Crown, descend past Olmec for the Ankh and retrieve Excalibur in Tide Pool. Enter Abzu and defeat Kingu for the Tablet. In Neo Babylon, read its three clues, take the matching Ushabti and carry it to the next floor to hatch Qilin. At Tiamat, use Qilin to reach the Sunken City above.

  • Check all three clues before leaving with the Ushabti.

Keep the bow and arrow for the portal

For the Cosmic Ocean, find Hou Yi’s Bow in the Moon Challenge and store it with Waddler in Olmec’s level. This frees your hands for the chain items. Retrieve it from Waddler in 7-1 and get the Arrow of Light from the Sun Challenge. After defeating Hundun, shoot his eye and enter the portal.

  • Break the three orbs on the first Cosmic Ocean floor for the Jelly Journal entry.

Plan a dedicated million-dollar run

Avoid unnecessary purchases and build up gold from the early floors. One documented route uses Madame Tusk’s vault: lure the ghost over gems to turn them into diamonds before collecting them. Learn a way out of the vault first, because bringing the ghost into a tight room without an escape can cost the whole run.

  • Check your final total on an unseeded single-player attempt.

Clean up the Journal by entry type

Compare areas, characters, monsters, items and traps. If Eggplant World is missing, look for a Mystery Box and an altar on the same floor to obtain the eggplant, then take it to the child’s spot in the Ice Caves. If the Arena trophy is missing, use a first-to-five Deathmatch against three bots with the default rules.

  • Set aside a separate run for entries on a branch incompatible with the Abzu route.

Frequently asked questions

Do shortcuts invalidate every trophy?

No, but Ironman, Speedlunky and Low Scorer forbid them. Use them for practice or requirements that do not rule them out.

Must I finish the Cosmic Ocean?

No. Enter for Awakened and register the Jelly in the Journal on the first floor. You do not need to reach its final level.

Is an online match needed for Arena Champion?

No. The requirement specifies three bots and the default rules. The longer challenges, including Awakened and Millionaire, call for single-player runs.
