PS4
Arkham Knight spreads its platinum across the campaign, Gotham criminals, Riddler, AR challenges and New Story Plus. The first run need not become a hunt for every object because some routes make more sense with later gadgets. A major technical hurdle is move variety in one combo rather than raw damage. Keep Batmobile and on-foot combat checklists separate so you practise relevant techniques instead of repeating random fights.
Base-game platinum roadmap for PS4. Additional trophy groups are distinguished from platinum requirements.
- Required difficulty: New Story Plus is required; the first campaign prepares gadgets and abilities.
- Missable trophies: Collections support cleanup, but check required tools and specific actions.
- Online: The platinum route is offline.
Unlock tools before full cleanup
Complete the story while learning combat and the Batmobile, recording unsolved puzzles. Check the Freeze Blast as well rather than assuming the ending automatically provides it. Returning with the correct gadget is more effective than repeated attempts against an obstacle requiring a missing ability.
- Check required gadgets before returning to a puzzle.
Interrogate informants and separate categories
Green enemies provide interrogation opportunities, so do not immediately eliminate them with the group. Use their information to clean an area while distinguishing breakable objects, scan riddles and collected trophies. Counters do not always correspond one-to-one with physical objects; the Riddler challenge summary is the useful reference for missing progress.
- Interrogate informants before eliminating them.
Prepare fifteen moves for Brutality 101
Write a sequence of different moves and verify the needed upgrades are unlocked. Begin with awkward techniques and use safe actions to maintain the combo while repositioning. Repeating one strike raises the hit count but not the required variety. A manageable arena is more useful than a chaotic encounter containing threats you cannot yet control.
- Prepare a list of fifteen genuinely different moves.
Practise driving and tank combat separately
Jumps, drifting and vehicle takedowns use different conditions from drone combat. For perfect Vulcan shots, choose readable targets and protect the streak from incoming damage. AR stars require challenge performances; check earned stars before replaying a trial that adds nothing to the target.
- Separate driving, tank and AR-star trials.
Finish criminals and New Story Plus
Check every investigation and city activity before the final audit; arresting Riddler does not replace other chains. Start New Story Plus from the correct save for its ending encounter. Additional story and DLC challenge groups are not automatically part of the base platinum; use trophy groups to distinguish the target from extended completion.
- Verify Gotham activities and the New Story Plus ending.
