PS4
Origins asks you to explore Egypt beyond Bayek’s story. Old Habits concerns completed locations, while combat actions depend on specific abilities. The most useful early decision concerns valuables: keep trinkets until you can sell one hundred together. Exploration, growth and arena progress can overlap without raising the difficulty. This route separates base completion from Discovery Tour and expansion groups.
Base-game platinum roadmap for PS4. Additional trophy groups are separate.
- Required difficulty: Requirements can be completed on Easy.
- Missable trophies: Save one hundred trinkets; use an updated version for Old Habits.
- Online: No multiplayer trophies in the base group.
Keep trinkets instead of selling early
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle requires one sufficiently large sale. Weapons and animal materials do not replace trinkets. Check the inventory category and let its counter grow. Sell unwanted equipment to finance Bayek while preserving the collection you would otherwise have to rebuild.
- Sell trinkets only after reaching the required threshold.
Complete locations rather than just revealing them
Revealing a region and completing its locations are different tasks. Check each location panel for objectives, treasure and commanders; visiting does not automatically finish it. Review incomplete icons by region and update the game. The old issue involving locations completed as Aya was fixed in patch 1.0.5.
- Inspect remaining objectives at every location.
Unlock abilities for specific actions
Guided arrows, darts, taming and aerial aiming require different tools. Read the trophy before setting up an encounter so the target survives until you have the necessary ability. For Overdesign, check enemy level, poison, torch and time together; satisfying only part of the description is insufficient.
- Prepare the ability and target before attempting it.
Return to the arena with a finishing plan
Complete the required normal Krokodilopolis events and track Fatality! separately. Preserve adrenaline and lower the boss’s health before the Overpower finish. Do not waste a valid opportunity by using the special attack too early. Elite events do not replace checking the normal event series.
- Finish a boss using the required attack.
Leave the elephants until late progression
Qetesh and Resheph are a different challenge from ordinary patrols. Bring upgraded equipment, healing and adequate levels rather than spending attempts as soon as their arena is discovered. Afterwards compare the base group with missing trophies. Discovery Tour, The Hidden Ones and The Curse of the Pharaohs belong to other sections.
- Finish advanced fights after upgrading.
