PS4 / PS5
Crash 4 needs far more than its story ending:106% combines normal and N.Verted collection, perfect runs, flashbacks and platinum time relics. Modern or Retro style does not change trophy requirements, so choose what supports consistent practice. Separate incompatible objectives: learning every crate is not a speedrun, and collecting a hidden gem is not always the same task as an N.Sanely Perfect attempt.
Base-game platinum roadmap for PS4, PS5. DLC trophy groups are separate.
- Required difficulty: Modern and Retro are both valid; final trials remain mandatory.
- Missable trophies: Every level is replayable; tapes require a deathless approach.
- Online: No online trophies; local competitive modes do not require PSN.
Story, Timelines and masks
Finish story and additional-character routes first. Each mask changes timing and movement; recognise where its segment ends before applying a sequence learned elsewhere. Record difficult crates and branches on first visits. Pursuing a perfect run in an unfamiliar level makes retries less productive.
- Finish story and Timelines before the harshest trials.
Normal and N.Verted gems
Inspect level statistics and separate hidden gems, crates, Wumpa and death limits. N.Verted variants need their own audit; a completed normal level does not certify its inverted version. Choose an objective per pass and combine only compatible tasks once the route is familiar.
- Audit normal and N.Verted gems separately.
Tapes and Flashback trials
Reach each tape without dying before collecting it. Once unlocked, treat its Flashback level as a crate-and-movement trial using available checkpoints. Its platinum relic is not a race against time; it differs from Time Trial Relics. Keep the categories separate so practice targets the right task.
- Unlock tapes and destroy every Flashback crate.
Deathless N.Sanely Perfect runs
These relics require the relevant clear-gem route without dying; the hidden gem is not required for the relic itself. First build a complete crate route, then pursue a clean execution. After a death or irrecoverable missed crate, use the remaining session to practise difficult sections without treating the perfect attempt as still valid.
- Learn every crate before the deathless attempt.
Time relics and106%
Faster Than Sound requires platinum Time Trial Relics; trilogy-level gold is insufficient here. After the final movement power, practise triple-spin rhythm and connect repeatable segments. Audit every 106% category rather than associating completion only with crates. A level table reveals whether the missing work is speed, perfection or a variant.
- Audit platinum Time Trials, perfect relics and variants before 106%.
