Goodnight Universe Platinum Trophy Guide (PS5)

Goodnight Universe

PS5

The Goodnight Universe platinum asks for opposing actions, most clearly while Orson walks toward his food. Finish the main story first, then return to individual chapters through chapter select to recover the branches. This lets you retry the robots, train skip and Isaac’s alternate outcome without replaying the whole route.

Route through the trophy chapters with both Orson actions and chapter-menu cleanup.

  • Difficulty: No difficulty requirement; one stealth challenge
  • Missables: Chapter-specific actions recoverable through chapter select
  • Replay: Helping Hand for both Orson responses
  • Online: No multiplayer trophies

Finish the chores and let Orson walk

In Helping Hand, close the cupboards and drawers, put away toys, fold laundry, do the dishes and feed the dog. When you open Orson’s door, let him reach his bowl without using your powers for You Can’t Pet the Dog. Later, replay Helping Hand and use your powers while he approaches the bowl for PETA Notified. The two responses cannot happen in one visit.

  • Finish all five chores.
  • Replay for the second Orson response.

Use the face prompts and skip the train

When Isaac’s reaction prompt appears, move the stick up to laugh and down to cry. Use both actions until each trophy reaches five reactions; early Helping Hand is a convenient retry point. In The Train Set, let the train fail several times until the game offers a skip. Accept the skip for Time Valuer.

  • Laugh five times and cry five times.
  • Accept the skip in The Train Set.

Pop the letters and let Gilbert crash

In Gilbert The Car, target every balloon, including the letter balloons welcoming Isaac. Scan the sides of the scene before moving on; the round balloons alone are not enough. When controlling Gilbert, let him hit the wall several times for The Babe Who Stares At Goat. These are separate tasks in the same chapter, so do not correct the car every time if you still need the crash trophy.

  • Pop all the letter balloons too.
  • Let Gilbert crash until the trophy appears.

Reach Elliot’s office undetected

In The Secret Mission, watch where each robot and laser points before moving through. Move drones with your powers when you are close enough to cross the gap so they do not return before you pass. At the corner, set up the drone before the turn and adjust it as you approach. If detected, replay the chapter for a clean route all the way through.

  • Avoid robots and lasers all the way to the office.
  • Retry the mission after a detection.

Separate the main story from the alternate outcome

On your first visit to The Decision, choose to save Isaac so you can continue to Showdown. There, choose to message your people for ET Phone Home and continue the story. After the ending, return to The Decision and let the save-Isaac timer expire for Leave, Murph!. Do not take the alternate outcome before reaching Showdown, as it changes the story path.

  • Send the message in Showdown.
  • Replay The Decision for the expired-timer outcome.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a fresh game for both Orson trophies?

No, replay Helping Hand. One attempt without powers and one where you nudge Orson cover both outcomes.

Do I need a webcam or PS VR2?

The PS5 list can be played with the controller. Follow its on-screen prompts for reactions, powers and popping balloons.

Why did Baby Gamer not unlock with the round balloons?

Letter balloons count too. Scan the whole Gilbert The Car scene and pop the welcome sign as well.
