PS4 / PS5
Dying Light 2 rewards early planning of choices and collections. Launch-era guides may say New Game+ does not exist; that advice must now be reconciled with official updates. Pay attention to documents in the prologue, plan how to assign facilities between factions, and track cooperative objectives separately. The route is not simply clearing every map icon: distinguish what can change during the story from what can wait until later exploration.
Base-game trophy and platinum roadmap for PS4 and PS5. Additional trophy groups are separate from the platinum.
- Required difficulty: Game difficulty is not a base-platinum requirement.
- Missable trophies: Prologue documents, faction choices and mission areas need attention.
- Online: Cooperative actions with other players are required.
Check documents during the prologue
Do not treat the prologue as an introduction to rush through. Inspect accessible rooms and confirm collected documents in the menu before continuing. Cooperative sessions are not a universal way to return everywhere; preventive checks are particularly valuable in early areas and places changed by the story.
- Verify prologue collectibles before leaving its area.
Choose a faction plan for facilities
Boot Licker asks for a specific city alignment. Before assigning a facility, consider the cumulative result rather than just its immediate benefit. Track previous assignments and check the faction bar: evenly splitting every facility can work against your trophy objective.
- Follow a consistent plan for the required alignment.
Spend inhibitors with a clear goal
Health and stamina have separate trophies. Always splitting inhibitors evenly can postpone both milestones; choose which to maximise first based on your exploration needs. Update 1.3.0 introduced New Game+ and additional inhibitors, so old instructions presenting a save backup as the only route no longer describe every option.
- Check both maximum-level goals before spending inhibitors.
Track side missions with consequences
Track character- and encounter-related objectives as you progress, particularly the Sparker dating chain. Returning for a mission reward does not prove every required meeting was seen. Record completed dialogue stages and distinguish narrative chains from the city’s repeatable activities.
- Track Sparker encounters actually completed.
Prepare focused co-op sessions
For the requirement involving at least two other players, a two-person session is insufficient. Assemble the group, confirm everyone is in the same activity, and test progression briefly before a long session. Keep a missing-object and objective list so visits to the host’s world have a specific purpose.
- Perform the required kills with at least two other players present.
Clean up by district and check your version
After the story, work district by district through metros, camps, GRE sites and known collectibles. This reduces repeated travel and exposes unfinished categories. Before starting New Game+, read the game’s notice about what carries over and what resets; preserve useful progress and avoid blindly applying launch-version instructions.
- Reconcile your checklist with the installed patch and mode.

Frequently asked questions
Does New Game+ exist?
Yes. Techland introduced it with update 1.3.0 alongside additional inhibitors.
Can I choose any ending?
The completion requirement accepts any ending, but facility choices and other activities have separate objectives.
Is one friend enough for every online trophy?
No. That’s Teamwork! requires at least two other players in the session.
