PS5
Cairn asks you to understand the mountain rather than simply reach its summit. Encounters with Marco, Rody and other characters introduce objectives that a direct ascent can bypass. Use the main expedition for exploration and gathering, and attempt technical climbing challenges when supplies and positioning are under control. This roadmap covers the PS5 trophy list and preserves its recorded English trophy names, so you can match the priorities below with the requirements on your console.
Base-game platinum roadmap covering priority objectives, cleanup and verified requirements.
- Difficulty: Assistance settings do not disable trophies.
- Missable trophies: Encounters, deliveries and the final decision need planning.
- Online: The platinum route is single-player.
Prepare the expedition
Finish the Tenzen training and inspect the gym before leaving. The box associated with Serious training is separate from completing the tutorial. Practise hand placement, stamina recovery and finding resting positions before committing to long walls. Explorer and rewind can help you learn the controls, although individual challenges still have their own conditions. Record completed optional actions rather than assuming later story progress will automatically cover the starting area.
- Inspect the gym, inventory and settings before the main ascent.
Protect character deliveries
Treat Rody’s letter as a delivery to the shepherdess rather than a dialogue you can dismiss after meeting him. The crystal-cutter needs the complete set of crystal shards, so record discoveries and confirm the hand-in before leaving the area behind. The three guardians’ troglodyte pitons are another separate exploration objective. Handling these branches during the appropriate stretch of the climb is safer than trying to reconstruct every missed encounter near the end.
- Track the delivered letter, returned shards and three guardians separately.
Isolate climbing challenges
Choose a manageable wall and start with adequate supplies for the thirty-metre climb without a piton. This is a continuous climbing attempt; falling or rewinding is not a reliable way to preserve its progress. It is a different condition from the fall, jumping attachment and rope-length objectives. Attempt risky experiments around familiar terrain and wait for the actual unlock before crossing the relevant requirement off your route.
- Make a dedicated attempt at the continuous piton-free climb.
Group cooking and small secrets
Keep ingredients for infusions and cocktails instead of immediately using every resource for survival. Doped up requires five effects at the same time, so receiving each benefit on a different occasion does not satisfy it. The doll pieces and the origami placed in a shelter belong to separate environmental tasks. A simple record of the item, its location and intended use helps distinguish collecting something from actually delivering, assembling or combining it.
- Check that burst, grip, extra grip, focus and grit overlap.
Earn Home first, then reach the summit
When Marco proposes descending, accept before continuing toward the summit. This awards Home. Watch the credits, then reload the same save, which returns you to the decision point. Choose to continue and reach the summit for Part of a whole. Reversing this order can cost the opportunity for Home, so do not postpone returning with Marco. Keep the file after the conclusion because there is no postgame free roam. For Your story, reload it and follow the entire ascent trail with the camera, from the beginning to the summit, rather than stopping the viewing sequence partway through.
- Order: Home, credits, reload, summit; afterwards view the complete ascent for Your story.

Frequently asked questions
Must I avoid Explorer for platinum?
No. Assistance settings are compatible with trophies, but each challenge retains its own conditions, including a continuous climb without pitons.
In which order should I earn the two outcomes?
First descend with Marco for Home, watch the credits and reload the save. Then choose to continue toward the summit for Part of a whole.
Do recipe-related effects need to overlap?
For Doped up, yes: all five specified benefits must be active together. Other cooking objectives have separate conditions and should be checked individually.
