PS5
Steelrising’s main risk is not just a difficult Titan: it is reaching Versailles with unfinished quests, citizen stories or political requirements. Establish an Oil-Burette-free run from the start and deliberately choose a political route. This roadmap focuses on preparation before the final journey and separates allowed consumable healing from the prohibited flask. Cagliostro’s Secrets has an additional trophy group and is not a required purchase for the base platinum.
Roadmap for the PS5 base list. Additional trophy groups must be distinguished from platinum requirements.
- Required difficulty: Keep Assist Mode disabled for the Completionist run.
- Missable trophies: Versailles ends unrestricted Paris cleanup; political choices and several quests require planning.
- Online: The route can be completed offline and has no multiplayer trophies.
Set up an Oil-Burette-free run
Start a normal game and remove the Oil Burette from quick selection to prevent accidental use. The conservative rule is to avoid it even during the tutorial, despite the trophy wording referring to the period afterwards. Ordinary consumable Oil Vials can heal you instead; stock them and remember that recovery is gradual. Turning assistance off only near the ending is not a reliable Completionist plan. Test assistance on a different playthrough if you wish.
- Check the quick bar after collecting new consumables.
Build a dependable Aegis
Practise rapid cooling against simple enemies; mistiming it can freeze Aegis at the worst moment. Invest in coherent weapon and stat choices rather than scattering resources. Exploit immobilisation for heavy attacks and distance control. Save rare materials for Blacksmith and verify actual weapon categories: the trophy asks for a representative of each of the seven classes counted by the list, not seven similar weapons or every variation of one type.
- Record which classes have already reached level 5.
Separate citizen stories from political routes
Citizens speaking through doors and windows provide short tasks that must be followed through; hearing their first dialogue does not finish them. Record the district and return with the required item. Revolutionary quests have political consequences: Incorruptible and Royalist are not simply two answers in the final scene. A Robespierre route restricts certain side activities, while La Fayette’s route requires appropriate support and investigation outcomes. Plan separate routes if you do not retain a compatible branch.
- Keep separate checklists for citizen stories and political quests.
Finish investigations and gather echoes
For Marat, do not accuse La Fayette merely because an answer appears to advance dialogue: complete the investigation and assess the evidence before reporting. For Necker, investigate his wife first, respecting Love before money’s order. Explore Titan battle areas for the necessary echoes and return to connected characters. Before leaving, check remaining narrative interactions; defeating a boss does not replace every step involved in freeing its linked character.
- Confirm investigation outcomes and trophy unlocks before advancing.
Audit progress before Versailles
Pause when the final journey becomes available. Check citizen stories, base outfits, unstable Automats, echoes and quests compatible with your political route. Use respawning enemies for counters, elemental effects and ranged attacks rather than relying on bosses for every opportunity. Collect or buy remaining upgrade resources before closing exploration. Do not depend on hypothetical unrestricted post-credits travel: incompatible choices require another route without an earlier branch.
- Travel to Versailles only after finishing Paris cleanup.
Trophies to watch
Completionist
Finish the game without using the Oil Burette (after the tutorial)
Remove the Oil Burette from quick selection and use allowed consumable healing; preserve a normal run from the start.
Apprentice journalist
Conduct a journalistic investigation for Marat, without wrongly accusing La Fayette
Gather Marat’s evidence before reporting and do not falsely accuse La Fayette.
Blacksmith
Upgrade a weapon from each of the 7 classes to level 5
Diversify upgraded classes; do not spend every rare material on variants from the same group.
Frequently asked questions
Does Completionist forbid all healing?
No. The restriction concerns the Oil Burette; consumable Oil Vials are usable. Removing the Burette from quick selection prevents mistakes.
Is Assist Mode safe for every trophy?
No. Some objectives, including Completionist, require a normal run. Keep assistance disabled on the playthrough reserved for platinum.
Can I finish every quest after the ending?
Do not rely on free roam after Versailles. Finish compatible activities first and plan incompatible political outcomes separately.
