TMNT: Splintered Fate PS4 and PS5 platinum guide

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate

PS4 / PS5

First make your Shredder clear repeatable. Then use the red portals to practice Gauntlet boss variants and Shimmering Portals to learn the run modifiers. Perfection is the longest challenge: combine both portal types in one attempt with the War Staff equipped from the lair.

PS4 and PS5 base-game roadmap. The campaign challenges count toward the platinum.

Difficulty: Portal and War Staff conditions are required by the trophy list.
Missables: A skipped requirement can invalidate a run, but you can try again.
Online: Co-op is optional for the platinum route.

Build a reliable route to Shredder

Pick a turtle whose dashes and special move you can use reliably. Spend Dragon and Dreamer Coins at the lair stations. Extra dash charges and revives help you reach later bosses more often. Learn the order of the areas and the attacks of Leatherhead, Karai, Rocksteady and Bebop, and Shredder before raising the challenge.

Get your first Shredder clear and buy permanent upgrades.

Practice red portals and unlock the War Staff

Beating Shredder opens Gauntlet and Shimmering Portals. Look for red portals to face a boss’s Gauntlet variant. According to the developer’s updated guide, beating Gauntlet Karai unlocks the War Staff. Practice the tougher versions of the four bosses separately before combining them in one run.

Defeat Gauntlet Karai and check the artifact in the lair.

Track Shimmering Portals and their modifiers

Shimmering Portals change the run. Track which ones you have cleared. Several trophies require a finish with a specific modifier active, such as Portal of the Foot or Portal of Scarcity. Try only a few at a time while learning. Enter the portal, finish the run with Shredder and check the trophy before moving to another modifier.

Check which modifiers are active before finishing the run.

Finish Dark Soul and Darkest Soul with the staff

Equip the War Staff in the lair. It raises the damage you take, so practice the route with it before adding every challenge. Dark Soul requires beating Shredder with the staff through all chapters. Darkest Soul adds all Shimmering Portals. If you split these attempts, keep the artifact equipped for the entire run.

Equip the War Staff before leaving and keep it through Shredder.

Combine the Perfect Run conditions

For Perfection, take all Shimmering Portals on the route, beat the Gauntlet bosses and keep the War Staff equipped throughout the run. Do not confuse a red portal with a modifier portal. Build around compatible powers, dash through danger and save revives for the toughest fights. Perfect Run does not mean a no-hit run.

Combine the staff, portals and Gauntlet bosses in a single run.

Frequently asked questions

Does Perfection require a no-hit run?

No. It checks the War Staff, Shimmering Portals and Gauntlet bosses in the same run; revives are allowed.

Can I do the Perfect Run in Arcade Mode?

Use the campaign. The developer states that Arcade disables artifacts, so it cannot meet the War Staff requirement.

Which challenge unlocks the War Staff?

The developer’s updated documentation names the Gauntlet Karai fight. Check the lair’s Artifact Station after winning.
