Daxter: PS4 and PS5 Platinum Trophy Guide

PS4 / PS5

Osmo’s jobs cover much of the trophy list. Leave room for 500 orbs, all six dreams, and a round of Bug Combat. Pick up the cage, token, and vial during early visits so you can identify missing side objectives without retracing several entire levels.

Covers the campaign, Precursor Orbs, and side activities in both modern editions.

Original edition: PSP (2006); the original handheld has no PlayStation trophies.
Trophy sets: 43 trophies in each native PS4 and PS5 set.
Orb target: 500 Precursor Orbs; a full sweep of every map is unnecessary.
Required modes: Story, dreams, and single-player Bug Combat.

Sweep the Westside Hotel first

After meeting Osmo, explore the hotel before heading straight for the exit. The cage is on a lily pad and the token is in the dining area through a side door. Look for the vial near the wrecking ball at the construction site. Track those three pickups separately; playing a round of Bug Combat is a different objective.

Track the cage, token, and vial on three separate lines.

Advance through the return visits

Follow the Haven City jobs through to the prison. Some areas return later under a different assignment, such as Strip Mine II and Tanker II. Entering the first version does not cover its second set of story trophies. Try the spray on a bug early and score a flame kill once Taryn has provided the upgrade.

Rescue Jak before taking stock of the remaining side activities.

Build toward 500 orbs during the story

Check ledges, edges, and routes opened by the tools earned during the campaign. The same total opens the dream games, so keep taking orbs near your path after the 250 milestone. If you fall short, revisit a level where you skipped a whole branch instead of hunting one orb in an otherwise cleared route.

Use 500 as your target instead of clearing every area.

Use the shop bed for dream games

The bed in the shop’s locker room opens six minigames in stages, with the last available at 500 orbs. Play each one, then focus on the game whose prompts you read most consistently for a gold rating. You are checking off distinct dreams and one gold, so there is no need to perfect every routine.

Let each distinct minigame register before moving to the next one.

Finish the mask, bomb, and bug tasks

Try the bomb against a tight group in the second mine. Wait for at least three bugs to bunch up before taking them out in the same blast. Pick up one hidden mask on your route, then enter Bug Combat and play a single-player round. If something is still missing, separate the collected items from the act of playing a match.

Use a group of at least three bugs for Experimental Carnage.

Trophies to watch

Keeper of Fancy Eggs

Collect 500 Precursor Orbs.

Keep collecting after 250, since the last dream opens at 500.

Experimental Carnage

Eliminate three bugs at once with a bomb.

In the second mine, wait for three nearby targets and hit them with one bomb.

Sweet Dreams

Play all dream minigames.

Return to the shop bed and play each of the six dreams.

Bugged Sport

Play a round of Single Player Bug Combat.

Select a single-player round; the three Bug Combat items alone are insufficient.

Frequently asked questions

How many dream gold ratings are required?

You need one gold rating as well as playing all six dreams. Choose the routine whose rhythm suits you.

Does Bug Combat require multiplayer?

No. Its trophy explicitly asks for a single-player round; a second player is unnecessary.

Does the original PSP edition award trophies?

No. The 43 trophies belong to the PS4 and PS5 apps released in 2024, each with a separate set.
