Arctic Awakening

Arctic Awakening Platinum Trophy Guide (PS5)

Arctic Awakening

PS5

Plan the Arctic Awakening platinum while Kai searches for Donovan. Mugs, cereal and optional actions are spread across all five episodes. The PS5 walkthrough does not document chapter select, and autosaves can replace earlier ones. Check your list before taking a one-way path, particularly in the first two episodes and at the power plant.

Collectibles and actions across five episodes, with priority for one-way areas.

  • Difficulty: No difficulty setting required; Episode 4 has a timed challenge
  • Missables: Yes: collections and interactions across episodes
  • Cleanup: Do not rely on chapter select
  • Online: No multiplayer trophies

Start with Junglers and the cairns by the wreck

Do not leave the Junglers box at the wreck. Eat a portion once hunger activates. Before returning to the plane after the orange tower, empty the first supply crate and pick up items on the ground beside it. From there, stop at the rock piles you find and complete the breathing exercise. Zen Master wants ten distinct cairns, not ten exercises at one location.

  • Eat Junglers and check the first crate for eXos.
  • Complete breathing exercises at ten different cairns.

Drop the windmill crate and open the station crate

In Echoes, use the panel at the base of the windmill holding a crate. The cargo falls and you can take its supplies, including Bee Smacko’s. Activate the other working windmills for Weather Man. At the research station, get the hatchet from the cabin opposite the third crate, then bring it back to pry open the container and collect Wacky Charms. Also pick up and eat the Crunchy Grenades along the route.

  • Empty all three supply drops by Episode 2.
  • Activate the working windmills.

Search the radio tower and check the mug counter

In On Thin Ice, check the break-room counter for Corn Flakes and the women’s restroom for Cereal Minimalist Edition. Collectible mugs are decorated. Picking one up to look at it is not enough; add it to inventory and confirm the counter. There are fifteen to collect. When you see a similar ordinary mug, use the on-screen notification to tell whether it counted before moving on.

  • Check the tower break room and restroom.
  • Add each decorated mug to inventory.

Put on the suit and read the power-plant sequence

In Ascension, put on a protective suit before going through decontamination. When the timer starts, look at the numbers above the countdown: they show the order of four switches around the pillar. Follow the order in your run and take the elevator before time runs out. Once outside, check for the mug at the base of the first active tower and turn on the other four towers at the panels up the ladders.

  • Finish the switches and take the elevator before time expires.
  • Activate all four towers to finish Weather Man.

Complete the sets before Aurora’s ending

In Aurora, look for Eaglos on the upper greenhouse levels and Infinite Loops on the Kitchen Market shelves. Also verify the Frozen Flakes from under the tent in the previous episode. Cereal Killer requires eating all ten brands; carrying them is not enough. If you are short on steps, the underground facility with food nearby is a more convenient place to walk. Finish collections before moving to the ending.

  • Eat the last cereal brands before moving on.
  • Check mugs and stuffed animals before the ending.

Trophies to watch

Pack Rat

Collected all supplies from the supply drop.

Check the crate near the orange tower, the windmill crate and the station crate. Take supplies on the ground too.

Not Great, Not Terrible

Escaped the chasm without glowing.

Put on the suit and follow the four numbers above the timer. Enter the elevator before it expires.

Zen Master

Practiced breathing exercises at 10 different cairns.

Finish the breathing minigame at ten different cairns. Start around the wreck and lake.

Weather Man

Powered on all weather equipment in the forest.

Power the windmills in Echoes and four towers after the elevator in Ascension. Listen for Kai’s confirmation lines.

Caffeine Connoisseur

Every mug tells a story, and you’ve collected them all.

Check the collection notification for every decorated mug. Ordinary white mugs are not the collectible set.

Frequently asked questions

Can I recover a mug after finishing the story?

The documented PS5 route has no chapter select. Recover the mug immediately if you can backtrack; otherwise another run may be needed.

Is the first crate enough for Pack Rat?

No. Despite the singular wording, check all three drops in Episodes 1 and 2, including supplies that fell beside their crates.

Is the chasm sequence always the same?

Read the numbers shown in your room. Its own sequence is safer than memorizing an order from a video.
