PS5
The case in The Secret Salami guides you through the story. The detour to plan is your sweep of the office. As Eugene investigates the missing lunch, check who you have identified in the notebook, which evidence you can bring up in interviews and which bins are already on the floor. The story leads you through its deductions, but the platinum also needs interactions you could easily walk past.
A route for the 12 PS5 trophies in the first Duck Detective, including solutions for both locked access points.
- Difficulty: No trophy requires a specific mode.
- Before the ending: Knock over the bins, quack and finish the suspect roster.
- Online: The list is completed in single player.
From the apartment to reception
Open the case with the badge, phone and objects that explain what Eugene spent his last money on. After the call, head to BearBus and stop in reception: inspect the noticeboard and speak to the giraffe before moving to the desks. Use the game’s quack control as well to take care of Q is for Quacking immediately.
- Solve the first deduction and check that the quack trophy registered.
Put names to the BearBus staff
Inspect each character closely before attempting a deduction. Accessories and stains can provide words that conversation alone will not. Compare the manager’s portrait and desk nameplate with what you found at the workstations. Then visit the kitchen and car park: Margaret, Rufus and Boris account for the entries that the main office cannot give you.
- Assign each full name in the notebook; collecting a name alone does not fill the entry.
Sweep BearBus for bins
Rage Uncaged needs the bins on the floor, so walk into them until they topple. Sweep three areas separately: the walkthrough identifies two in reception, four in the main office and two in the kitchen. Do it while the rooms are open to you. If the trophy is missing, look around the corners beside the desks before returning to the case.
- Check Rage Uncaged on the PS5 list before closing the case.
Use the birthday gift to unlock the PC
When the case turns to Sophie’s birthday gifts, open the book and inspect the page with the alien. It is the clue for selecting Purple Eyed Alien on Margaret’s computer. Read the messages afterwards: opening the PC awards Snoop, while inspecting its windows gives you evidence to separate the surprise party from the rest of the case.
- Inspect Laura’s workstation as well to fill out the evidence.
Open the safe and server room
After investigating Sophie’s note, move the picture in Manfred’s office. Read the letters behind it as department headcounts: two in customer service, one in operations and four bus drivers. Enter 214. Inspect the safe’s contents for the key, then return to reception and open the server room. Read the evidence inside before submitting the final deductions.
- Check Heist and All Access separately before resolving the mystery.

Frequently asked questions
Does the ending automatically award the platinum?
Only if you have also done the optional interactions. Check the quack, bins and names before closing the case.
Do I need to play The Ghost of Glamping?
No. That is a separate case with its own PS5 trophy list. This one only covers the missing salami.
Why is a deduction still incomplete?
If a word is missing, return to the evidence and examine each active point. Once you have the word, check the responses of characters who know the person involved.
