PS5
Khazan combines boss skill, collection work and conditions spanning an entire journey. First decide whether to combine Expert with a no-summon run or separate those challenges. Patches changed Standing Alone tracking, so an older instruction saying the save is permanently invalid must not be treated as current. Track the conditions of this playthrough, finish bonus missions and prepare the special ending before moving into another cycle.
PS5 roadmap separating main-list requirements from older-version information. Purchasing cloud backup access is not required.
- Required difficulty: The Expert’s Journey requires Expert; check The Challenger’s Journey ending separately.
- Missable trophies: Difficulty, summons and special-ending conditions require planning.
- Online: There are no multiplayer challenges; update the game and verify an initial trophy unlock before relying on offline play.
Choose which conditions to combine
If you can handle bosses without help, prepare Expert and the absence of Spirits of Advocacy in the same journey. Alternatively, separate learning the encounters from a no-summon attempt and keep a record of each playthrough’s conditions. Do not casually lower difficulty on a run intended for The Expert’s Journey. The lowest theoretical playthrough count is not automatically efficient while you are still learning guards and stamina management.
- Record difficulty and the summon rule before starting the journey.
Use the updated Standing Alone rules
The official April 22, 2025 notes changed Standing Alone to evaluate the current playthrough rather than a previous summon on the same file. Keep the journey you are attempting summon-free. Those notes also fix tracking problems involving multiple conditions, so do not plan a no-shutdown marathon merely because a launch guide prescribed one. Install updates before beginning lengthy cleanup.
- Check the updated version and keep the current journey free of Spirits of Advocacy.
Track Soulstones, Jarlings and Ozma items
Separate Soulstones, Danjin’s Jarlings and items connected to Ozma’s story; collecting one category does not finish the others. Use mission progress to identify an incomplete category, then revisit the relevant mission. Character upgrades also prepare you for bosses, so spend resources towards a clear goal rather than constantly switching weapons and spreading materials across unrelated equipment.
- Compare each mission’s progress with the three separate collection categories.
Finish bonus missions before the special ending
Check bonus missions unlocked through Crevice characters and their conditions. Some activities open services such as gear crafting, so returning to the hub has practical value beyond a trophy. For THE FIRST BERSERKER, review missions and narrative collections before the concluding choice. An ordinary final-boss victory alone does not prove the special ending was properly prepared.
- Before the ending, compare bonus missions and the Ozma-related collection.
Finish requirements before moving to the next cycle
After the ending, inspect actual unlocks and identify which remaining conditions concern another playthrough. If The Challenger’s Journey is absent, check its difficulty condition instead of assuming every milestone stacks. Retain your summons and collection summary before entering another cycle. A further journey can be a deliberate choice without paid backup procedures or deleting your earlier save.
- Check actual unlocks before moving into New Game Plus.
Trophies to watch
Standing Alone
Reached the ending without summoning a Spirit of Advocacy.
After patches, tracking concerns the current playthrough; avoid Spirits of Advocacy in the dedicated journey even if you used them previously.
The Expert's Journey
Reached the ending after a difficult journey.
Keep Expert difficulty on the dedicated journey and check the conditions before changing it.
Countless Tales
Completed all bonus missions.
Use mission progress on an updated version; older no-shutdown instructions arose from fixed tracking bugs.
THE FIRST BERSERKER
Reached 'THE FIRST BERSERKER' ending.
Compare bonus missions and Ozma’s collection before the choice concluding the special ending.
Frequently asked questions
Does a first-run summon permanently block Standing Alone?
No. The official April 2025 notes changed tracking to the current playthrough, allowing a later journey dedicated to no summons.
Must I finish every bonus mission in one session?
Official notes fixed multi-condition tracking problems after restarting. Update the game before applying a launch-era workaround.
Must I buy PlayStation Plus for this roadmap?
The roadmap does not depend on cloud backup; conditions can be separated across journeys. There are no multiplayer trophies to complete.
