Tales of the Shire: PS5 Platinum Trophy Guide

Tales of the Shire PS5 platinum guide: friendships, five-star meals, seasonal fish and Bywater’s clubs.

Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game

PS5

In Bywater, cooking and friendship advance together. Rather than saving all meals for after the story, send invitations while opening the clubs and track who has already received their desired five-star dish. A high friendship level alone does not count for that trophy.

Get Bywater to the Assessor’s verdict and serve every hobbit their seasonal five-star dish.

  • Difficulty: Plan recipes, relationships and seasons.
  • Missables: Check seasonal availability in the journal.
  • Online: No online trophies.

Find the boards and start all four clubs

Progress to Old Ruby’s Book of Rules and recruit the required members. When Marigold asks you to find the boards, take the path toward home opposite the Ivy Bush Inn mailbox and clear the ivy. Once the clubs are active, mix daily activities with their assignments to build Cooking, Fishing, Foraging and Gardening while advancing the story.

  • Check all four clubs and their assignments.

Cook for cravings as well as quality

Before cooking, open Cravings and check which hobbit is attached to the current seasonal dish. Start with quality ingredients and adjust flavor, texture and balance until the result shows five stars. Serve it to the intended guest at a shared meal and record it yourself. A perfect dish served to the wrong person will not complete that entry.

  • Track five-star servings separately from friendship.

Fill every seat at meal venues

Raise friendships to open venues: Delphi unlocks the rooftop at level 3, while Mooma’s Island also needs the A Missing Mooma quest. Invite a guest for each seat and prepare a portion for each. Use a three-guest venue for Three Is Company and for serving three portions of mutton, and make a separate invitation for Sandyman and Farmer Cotton together.

  • Check the venue, guest list and portions before starting the meal.

Sort fish and ingredients by location and season

Record both the species you catch and the locations where you cast. Change spots when the journal lists different fish and use foraging trips for the season’s plants. In the garden, check crop quality at harvest and expand the plots as friendships rise. Save some high-quality ingredients for dishes that come back in later seasons.

  • Check missing journal entries at each season change.

Finish Moments and Bywater’s assessment

Reach the Assessor’s final evaluation by following the main quests. When you see blue glowing spots along a path, interact with them for the Moments. Use three separate lists for final cleanup: recipes cooked, meals served to every hobbit, and maxed friendships. For house expansion, check Willow’s level 3, 6 and 10 rewards.

  • Verify the assessment, recipes and three house expansions.

Frequently asked questions

Must I serve every seasonal craving to each hobbit?

No. One five-star craving served to each primary hobbit is enough for this trophy; check the season in the Cravings menu.

Is a meal at home enough for every hosting trophy?

No. Home seats two guests. Open a venue with three or four seats and visit the other venues for Good Fellowship and Welcome Meals.

What counts toward maximum friendship?

Use conversations, the neighbor’s quests and shared meals. Check the journal level: having already cooked a perfect dish for them is not enough.
