PS4
The Last Guardian rewards both unhurried exploration and a quick journey. Separate them: time spent listening to the narrator or waiting for Trico helps the collection run, but costs time in the fast one. Learn where the boy should stand before calling Trico, especially when crossing open gaps.
Original 24-trophy PS4 list. Relevant progress carries into repeat runs when you continue from the same completed save.
- Platform: Native PS4 list; all trophies are offline.
- Barrels: 48 locations per run; 96 cumulative barrels unlock the Fine Featherpainter.
- Cleanup: No chapter select: use New Game Plus to recover missed goals.
Explore and track every barrel
On the first run, check behind grates and along the sides of rooms before crossing any point of no return. When you find a barrel, wait for Trico to eat it before advancing. To work on Practice Makes Perfect as well, throw it when Trico has room to catch it; food eaten from the ground does not count as a catch.
- Mark the location and confirm Trico actually ate the barrel.
Give the narrator time
Wait at the point where the game can hint at the solution. Some lines take several minutes, and meditation can repeat the previous line first, so do not count that as a new hint. Track the openings where Trico puts his head as well, so a second run has clear targets.
- Listen again if a death sent you back before a recent hint.
Check Trico after each ambush
Once a fight ends, climb onto Trico and check both flanks and his back. Pull out visible spears promptly and calm him before searching for objects. When suits of armour chase the boy, save a few opportunities for the specific combat goals: Trico rescuing you while carried and pulling off heads are different counters.
- Do not leave an arena until you have checked every side for spears.
Continue from the completed save
After the ending choose Continue instead of starting from a blank profile. Repeat the barrel route until Fine Featherpainter appears in the items menu. Equip it and paint Trico from several angles, including easy-to-miss areas such as the tail and legs; check the boy’s outfits in the menu too.
- Keep the same save for cumulative counters, items and hints.
Set aside a speed run
Once you know the routes, make a run just for the five-hour limit. Skip detours, line up the next handhold before calling Trico, and favour a safe jump over a few saved seconds. Use a separate run for the no-game-over trophy if you would rather not rush risky sections.
- Check the result after the ending before starting another attempt.

Frequently asked questions
Must I do the speed and no-game-over runs together?
No. They are separate requirements. Use a safer separate run if speed makes you take too many risks.
Is one run enough to paint Trico?
No. Even with all 48 barrels on the first run, you need more to reach Fine Featherpainter’s 96.
Can I revisit a chapter for a hint?
There is no chapter select. Recover missed hints on a subsequent run using the same save.
