PS4 / PS5
The priority in The Pathless is Storm Survivor: do it in the Forest before removing the storm. Then use the spirit vision from high places to find lightstones, lanterns and messages. Do not stop after freeing the four spirits; their gifts open the extended ending.
Native PS4 and PS5 lists with matching requirements. Includes the main missable risk tied to storms.
- Base lists: 43 trophies per console.
- Missable: Storm Survivor: storms disappear when the plateaus are cleansed.
- Online: No multiplayer requirement.
- After the story: You can revisit the plateaus for collectibles.
Survive three storms in the Forest
Before cleansing the first plateau, enter the red storm and reach the eagle without being spotted. Stand still while the creature’s gaze passes over you, then move once it looks away. Repeat until three encounters are clear and pet the eagle after finding it. If you leave storms until the end, you may already have removed every opportunity.
- Check Storm Survivor before cleansing the other plateaus too.
Use spirit vision from a high point
Climb an obelisk or hill and read the lights: blue glows mark messages, stronger red glows mark lightstones and weaker ones mark lanterns. Follow one cluster at a time and solve its puzzles before moving on. There is no traditional map; use obelisks and recognisable landmarks for orientation.
- Track the Pathfinder messages separately from the general lore counter.
Build up the eagle’s ten flaps
Combine plateau bosses with crystals from lanterns and chests to increase the eagle’s flaps. Avoid losing experience to storm sightings once Storm Survivor is done. Use the extra flaps for aerial goals, such as the long flight without updrafts and the highest updraft above the mountain.
- Check the flap count instead of estimating it from distance travelled.
Complete the stelae for all four gifts
The lightstones used at story obelisks are not the whole collection. After each boss, find the remaining stones and place them at the arena’s stele. When the spirit appears, follow it to the hidden location and interact to receive its gift. Repeat for elk, lizard, snake and bear, verifying each gift separately.
- Do not mark a region complete until you have interacted with its spirit.
Reach the extended ending and finish challenges
Once you have all gifts, take the completed collection into the finale for A New Path Awaits. If you already saw the credits without the gifts, use Continue to return to the plateaus and finish what is missing. Save any archery, sliding and movement challenges you did not finish during exploration for this sweep.
- Check the extended ending trophy separately from the credits trophy.

Frequently asked questions
Can I recover storms after the story?
Not on cleansed plateaus. If no storms remain, use a new game for the three encounters.
Does the 45-message counter need every message?
No. Keep The Pathfinder’s Tale separate, as it looks for a specific sequence.
Do the two versions have the same goals?
Yes. The archived requirements match, while PS4 and PS5 maintain separate lists.
