Axiom Verge Platinum Guide (PS4, PS Vita)

PS Vita / PS4

Axiom Verge asks you to find every upgrade and also finish with fewer than 40% of the items. Use different files. Your exploration file becomes a reference for the timed run, when you can safely skip detours that do not open the route. Keep a separate no-death attempt if boss fights are still inconsistent.

Both regional PS4 and PS Vita lists for the first Axiom Verge have 30 trophies with matching requirements. Axiom Verge 2 is separate.

Trophies per list: 30 including platinum
Low % target: Fewer than 40% of items
Overclocked: Under 4 hours

Map the regions as you unlock tools

On the first run, mark walls, tunnels and passages you cannot cross yet. Revisit a group of obstacles when you gain a new tool instead of wandering through every region. Before leaving a region, check whether a map tile or an item is missing. The two completion percentages are independent.

Use the region's yellow indicator to confirm its item completion.

Track glitchable enemies before boss fights

Test the Address Disruptor on each new enemy type before killing it and record the change. During Ukhu, wait for the small insects it summons and glitch them. During Athetos, do the same with the mechanical enemies before ending the fight. These targets are easy to miss if you only focus on the boss's health bar.

Check the summons before delivering the finishing blow to either boss.

Find a Secret World separately from 100%

If the screen distorts unusually, inspect the surrounding walls and passages. A Secret World has a distinct glitched appearance and matters for its own trophy, but its items do not count toward regular item completion. If an item is missing, return to the main areas on the map.

Check standard items after the Secret World without adding both to the same tally.

Route a sub-four-hour, under-40% run

On a fresh Speedrun Mode file, write down the order of the bosses and tools that open mandatory passages. Collect only the upgrades you need and check the summary before adding more. Exactly 40% does not qualify. If a section slows you down, practise it on the exploration file before restarting the run.

Speedrunner requires the mode; Overclocked requires a time under four hours.

Choose when to attempt Hard and no deaths

On Hard, prepare for encounters with the upgrades you found during exploration. For Mostly Invincible, a fresh Normal file with healing and health upgrades gives you more room than a low-item run. Stop before a boss if health is low. Practising the fight outside the attempt is faster than replaying the entire game.

Check the save's difficulty before starting the first area.

Frequently asked questions

Does exactly 40% earn Low %?

No. The requirement is under 40%. Leave room for mandatory pickups before collecting anything optional.

Where should I look for an item missing from 100%?

Find the region without the yellow item indicator and check walls and branches that your newest tools can reach. Secret Worlds do not contribute.

Does Speedrunner have a time limit?

No. It requires a clear in Speedrun Mode. You can combine it with Overclocked, but the four-hour target belongs to a separate trophy.
