BioShock 2 Remastered: PS4 trophy and platinum guide

PS4

BioShock 2 Remastered on PS4 removes the original multiplayer route but demands careful checks before leaving areas. Do not rely on unrestricted backtracking for collections; research, weapon stations and character decisions need campaign planning. Highest difficulty and no Vita-Chambers are separate conditions that can be combined or split. Little Sister protection also requires preparing an arena before starting an ADAM gather.

Base-game platinum roadmap for PS4. Additional trophy groups are distinguished from platinum requirements.

Required difficulty: Hard is required; the no-Chamber trophy is separate.
Missable trophies: Areas do not offer unrestricted full backtracking; check before leaving.
Online: The PS4 remaster does not require multiplayer.

Check each area before departing

Compare diaries, Power to the People stations and Little Sisters against the area checklist before progressing. After leaving, do not treat Rapture as one freely accessible world. Keep intermediate manual saves to correct omissions without restarting everything. Distinguish the base list from Minerva’s Den so you do not search expansion items in the main campaign.

Check collections, stations and Little Sisters before leaving a level.

Use the camera early on every category

Research Master needs completed tracks, and some enemies do not remain common throughout the story. Film encounters while categories are available and vary attacks for useful research rather than killing first and remembering the camera afterwards. Inspect progress for each new type and distinguish one completed track from all of them.

Check tracks before eliminating rarer enemy categories.

Prepare ADAM gathers and rescue decisions

For Master Protector, place traps and hacked devices before starting the gather; protecting the Little Sister after enemies reach her does not restore a flawless attempt. Savior also requires rescuing every Little Sister and sparing Grace, Stanley and Gil. One positive decision does not prove the entire chain is correct.

Prepare the arena before gathering and track all three character choices.

Choose whether to combine Hard and no Chambers

Against All Odds and Big Brass Balls have separate conditions. If combining them, disable Chambers and save before fights; if learning first, maintain two clearly identified routes. Big Daddy and Big Sister encounters also have individual no-death conditions, so a campaign completion does not automatically prove those fights.

Check difficulty, Chambers and encounter conditions separately.

Finish weapons, Plasmids and hacking

All Weapon Upgrades needs every upgrade, whereas All Plasmids concerns eleven base types; buying more levels of one Plasmid does not replace a missing type. For hacked-security kills, let the device deliver the elimination instead of taking the finishing shot yourself. These checks complete exploration work before the finale.

Check base types, stations and security-attributed kills.

Frequently asked questions

Are the PS3 multiplayer trophies required?

No. The PS4 remaster list differs and does not require that route.

Do not build the hunt around that possibility; check collections and stations before leaving each level.

Does Savior only concern Little Sisters?

No. It also requires sparing Grace, Stanley and Gil.
