Video chapters

Plan the three endings

The list requires three distinct endings: Elden Lord, Age of the Stars and Lord of Frenzied Flame. Plan them before finishing your playthrough. The video introduces endings at 01:19 and discusses managing two endings with a save at 03:37. Watch the full passage before taking action.

Elden Lord · Achieved the "Elden Lord" ending
Age of the Stars · Achieved the "Age of the Stars" ending
Lord of Frenzied Flame · Achieved the "Lord of Frenzied Flame" ending

Complete the listed bosses

Compare defeated bosses with missing trophies. Check Malenia, Placidusax, Fortissax, Mohg the Omen and Astel; the video description links further location guides. Mohg the Omen and Shardbearer Mohg are separate trophies.

Shardbearer Malenia · Defeated Shardbearer Malenia
Shardbearer Mohg · Defeated Shardbearer Mohg
Dragonlord Placidusax · Defeated Dragonlord Placidusax
Lichdragon Fortissax · Defeated Lichdragon Fortissax
Mohg, the Omen · Defeated Mohg, the Omen
Astel, Naturalborn of the Void · Defeated Astel, Naturalborn of the Void

Collect the legendary items

Track legendary armaments, ashes, talismans, and sorceries/incantations separately. Each collection must be completed, not merely started. Guerranera's four linked resources help locate missing items.

Legendary Armaments · Acquired all legendary armaments
Legendary Ashen Remains · Acquired all legendary ashen remains
Legendary Sorceries and Incantations · Acquired all legendary sorceries and incantations
Legendary Talismans · Acquired all legendary talismans

Restore a Great Rune

Great Rune requires restoring a Great Rune's power. Obtaining the rune alone does not fulfil the restoration requirement. Use the dedicated chapter to distinguish these steps and check the unlock on your console.

Prepare equipment and finish

God-Slaying Armament requires upgrading an armament to its highest stage. Use the Build and Incantations chapters for remaining challenges, then recheck endings, bosses and legendary collections before the platinum.

Extended trophy roadmap

Elden Ring asks you to connect three endings, optional bosses and legendary collections without losing quest opportunities. A good roadmap tells you when to pause: defeating a major boss can transform an area, while attacking a helpful character can end a quest chain. This guide organises checks before critical transitions while leaving room for your own build. Shadow of the Erdtree is not required, and Nightreign is a different game: the scope here is the base-game platinum.

Base-game trophy and platinum roadmap for PS4 and PS5. Additional trophy groups are separate from the platinum.

Required difficulty: There is no selectable difficulty; build, summons and level shape the challenge.
Missable trophies: Endings, Bolt of Gransax and Fia’s quest need planning.
Online: The platinum can be earned offline.

Build a coherent character before chasing bosses

Choose a main weapon and invest in the statistics it needs, keeping a useful health reserve and healing resources. If an optional boss blocks you, mark its location and return after upgrades rather than treating it as a permanent barrier. Use the trophy checklist to identify required opponents; not every boss in the Lands Between is mandatory for platinum.

Separate required bosses from optional exploration.

Advance Ranni and Fia without killing quest contacts

Treat these quests as parallel routes beside the main story. Ranni prepares a separate ending, while Fia leads to a trophy-related boss. Before attacking a non-hostile character, pause and check their role: an immediate combat benefit does not justify risking a quest you still need.

Keep the characters needed for Ranni and Fia’s quests alive.

Check Leyndell before Maliketh

Bolt of Gransax is the collection item to verify before the capital changes. Obtain it while Royal Capital Leyndell is accessible and confirm it is actually in your inventory. Before Maliketh, pause to audit legendary weapons and unfinished quests; this short check avoids searching the wrong version of the area later.

Collect Bolt of Gransax before the capital changes.

Split legendary collections into four lists

Weapons, talismans, ashes and sorceries or incantations have separate milestones. Track each item in its proper group and do not equate general rarity with legendary-list membership. If a large inventory has not produced the trophy, compare names individually; identifying one missing entry is more efficient than repeating dungeons without a target.

Audit the four legendary collections separately.

Plan the three ending choices

The required endings are alternatives, not three automatic rewards from one conclusion. You can spread them across multiple journeys; backups depend on console options and are not necessary to complete the route. Before selecting an ending, check Ranni and Frenzied Flame progression. Do not overwrite your only save without knowing which choice you are preserving.

Choose your current ending and plan later journeys for the others.

Delay the next journey until cleanup is complete

After an ending, do not immediately start another journey if an accessible boss or collection remains. Review missing entries and area availability first. A new journey is useful for additional endings or restoring a lost opportunity, not the first response to every locked trophy.

Before a new journey, check optional bosses and legendary inventory.

Trophies to watch

Legendary Armaments

Acquired all legendary armaments

Check Bolt of Gransax before Leyndell transforms; verify ownership, not merely visiting its location.

Elden Lord

Achieved the "Elden Lord" ending

This counts when you actually choose its ending, not merely defeat the final boss.

Age of the Stars

Achieved the "Age of the Stars" ending

Finish Ranni’s quest and check its ending option before making the final choice.

Lord of Frenzied Flame

Achieved the "Lord of Frenzied Flame" ending

Plan Frenzied Flame access without confusing it with the other required endings.
