PS4 / PS5
The Ys X: Nordics platinum comes together at each landing. Start on Nightmare, save before changing chapters and review quests, people and battles before sailing away. Pair your land route with a sea itinerary: as the Sandras gains new tools, return to islands and finish objectives you previously set aside.
The original 2024 Western release. PS4 and PS5 have matching requirements in separate lists; Proud Nordics is a different edition.
- Base list: 55 trophies per console.
- Difficulty: Nightmare or higher through the epilogue.
- Missables: Timed quests, people and battle-log entries.
- Online: No online trophies.
Set Nightmare before sailing
Pick Nightmare on a new file and keep it through the epilogue. Lowering it can lock you out of that setting for the run. In battle switch between the two leads and use duo guarding for the attacks that call for it. Dodge speed attacks to prepare for tougher fights and advance two separate trophy counters.
- Keep a save before each chapter transition.
Close quests and journal entries chapter by chapter
Open the journal when you reach an island and again when the story is about to move you on. Resolve expiring requests first, talk to characters with updates and defeat each enemy variant when you encounter it. Do not wait for the epilogue to find a missing People or Battle entry: fast travel cannot restore an event that has ended.
- Review the journal before the next main objective.
Finish one sea region at a time
Use the map to separate missing discoveries, landings and places to reopen with later abilities. Check each area’s percentage before leaving its sea region. Record fish, marine life and runestones as well. Mark the fake merchant ships: Fool Me Thrice counts three specific targets, regardless of how many other ships you sink.
- Check Discovery Rate, not just the number of islands visited.
Combine affinity, upgrades and Recaptures
Return to the Sandras after story milestones, give gifts to their intended recipients and watch the unlocked events. For Father Cuthbert, finish and report the runestone log, then view his event. Collect materials during ship battles too; spend them on training and refit proposals. In Recaptures, treat the morale 10 attempt separately from the S-rank attempt.
- Check shipboard events before closing Chapter 10.
Make the final checks before the ending
Use Chapter 10 to finish goals that rely on late materials: Adol and Karja’s final gear, Sandras refits and Pikkard rewards. Check the rescued people of Carnac and take on Vermóðr when ready. Keep the pre-finale save and check Night-Mariner at the epilogue before touching the difficulty.
- Review each journal category, not only the overall completion percentage.

Frequently asked questions
Does this cover Proud Nordics?
No. Use this roadmap if your list is Ys X: Nordics; Proud Nordics has different content and trophies.
Can I raise the difficulty just before the boss?
Do not plan the trophy that way: start on Nightmare or higher and keep it through the epilogue.
Why is a character’s affinity stuck?
Check shipboard events, gifts and linked journal entries. Cuthbert, for example, depends on turning in the runestone log.
