PS4 / PS5
Tunic hides its platinum route inside its manual. Exploration can remain free, but two details need early attention: do not smash every moneybank, and obtaining the gun before the sword needs a planned start. Accessibility options ease combat without automatically solving puzzles. This roadmap separates the main adventure, manual collections and a distinct save for the special weapon order, preserving discovery during the first journey.
Roadmap for the PS4/PS5 base list. Additional trophy groups must be distinguished from platinum requirements.
- Required difficulty: No Fail Mode and accessibility options are usable for trophies.
- Missable trophies: Keep ten moneybanks; plan gun-before-sword and the combat ending before completing the manual.
- Online: The route can be completed offline and has no multiplayer trophies.
Read the manual and preserve moneybanks
Collect manual pages and revisit them after discovering a new mechanic; many shortcuts were visible before becoming understandable. Keep fox-shaped moneybanks until holding ten simultaneously for Too Cute To Smash. These are not the coins thrown into the well. Separating the categories prevents spending a collection to fund upgrades and later needing unnecessary extra pickups.
- Hold ten moneybanks in inventory before smashing them.
Use assistance and register a resurrection
Enable No Fail Mode or stamina options if focusing on puzzles. Assistance does not complete the resurrection condition: What just happened? requires experiencing a death and returning. Register it safely by temporarily turning protection off, then restore preferred settings. Continue improving statistics and equipment through shrine offerings without confusing offering items with ordinary currency.
- Verify resurrection, then retain the assistance you prefer.
Obtain the combat ending before the last manual page
Progress through the keys, Cathedral and body restoration, then confront the Heir before completing the entire manual to secure the combat route’s Game Over. Afterward, choose to retry and keep the exploration save instead of immediately starting New Game+. This precaution separates the normal outcome from the complete-manual solution and preserves puzzle cleanup rather than assuming every ending changes through one dialogue response.
- Complete Game Over and return to exploration before finishing the manual.
Solve fairies, treasures and the Golden Path
Learn the directional code shown by manual pages and use it for fairies and secret treasures rather than only visible route chests. The Golden Path requires connecting manual sections in the proper order; writing the sequence reduces errors from duplicated inputs. Track well wishes separately from held moneybanks. Completing the manual and finding twelve secret treasures have their own checks, so one collection does not automatically certify the other.
- Compare pages, treasures, fairies and wishes as distinct collections.
Create a save for gun-before-sword
For Bring it to the wrong fight, start a separate slot and leave the sword untouched. With assistance enabled, route toward the Ruined Atoll, obtain the Magic Orb in the Frog’s Domain and reach the gun chest in the Quarry. Where ordinary progression cuts vegetation, use enemy attacks to open the passage. Verify that no sword was collected before the firearm; otherwise the required order is already invalid.
- Leave every sword untouched until the gun is collected.

Frequently asked questions
Does No Fail Mode disable platinum?
No. Accessibility help is usable, but remember the resurrection trophy needs an actual death with protection disabled.
Must moneybanks be smashed for their trophy?
Too Cute To Smash checks ten moneybanks held simultaneously. Reach that threshold first, then decide whether to consume them for currency.
Can the gun simply be obtained after the sword?
For normal progression yes, but not for the weapon-order trophy. Use a fresh save and reach the gun without first collecting a sword.
