Chicory: A Colorful Tale PS4 and PS5 Platinum Guide

PS4 / PS5

In Picnic Province, rewards feed into each other: kittens lead to decor, litter can be traded, and brush styles open more classes. Picking things up at random makes it easy to leave a set incomplete. Divide the trip into a first exploration, a reward sweep, and a check after the story.

34 base trophies on each native list. This guide covers PS4 and PS5, which have separate lists.

Base trophies: 34 each on PS4 and PS5
Brush styles: 25
Lost kittens: 40
Art classes: 20

Open the map as you earn new abilities

Play through the opening story while picking up any gifts you can already reach. If a route needs an ability you do not have, mark it and move on: brush abilities change how you cross water and obstacles. Cartographer checks which screens you visit rather than how much you paint. Stop at bells or residents before leaving an area.

When Mom announces a visit, return home and claim the Family Portrait promptly.

Follow the meows and deliver mail

Talk to Beans in Luncheon before you start searching. A meow and a moving bush or tree signal a kitten: interact before changing screens. On return, talk to Beans and collect the decor rewards too. In Dinners, take Artichoke’s deliveries and finish the entire mail route to earn items that do not come from gift boxes.

If you counted 40 kittens but Lost and Found is missing, check the interactions at Beans’ house.

Unlock the styles, then finish the academy

Start with the pack from the first class, then look for the larger boxes. Characters such as Kiwi, Stevia and the Style Maker give styles too, so do not look only for more boxes. Once you have all 25 styles, finish the 20 classes, then visit Marzipan at the Master Gallery to collect ten classic paintings.

Graduating and claiming the paintings are separate steps.

Solve Oats’ outfit riddles

Bring Oats in Luncheon an outfit that fits the clue. For example, Sunhat and Flower Dress match the flower theme, while Rex Head and Scientist work for the dinosaur professor. Each riddle adds a pair of shades to the collection. If gifts are missing, look for sparkles you can paint and ask for box hints; also check Gelato’s photo gallery.

Check for seven Oats rewards and 120 clothing items in total.

Trade litter and verify the decor sets

Pick up all 131 litter pieces and spend them at the three exchanges; collecting litter is not the same as receiving decor. After the story, return for the music rewards that open then. For Master Decorator, check the Beans sets, paintings, mail and residents’ requests in order, including Radish: remaining pieces often come from activities rather than the map.

Ask Beetroot about missing clothes before sweeping every screen again.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to paint the whole map?

No. Cartographer needs you to discover screens, not paint them over. A few hidden gifts do need you to paint a specific spot.

Can I finish trophies after the story?

Yes, most collections can be finished afterwards and some music decor unlocks then. For safety, pick up the Family Portrait as soon as the visit is announced.

Why am I missing decor after opening all the gifts?

Check all three exchanges, Beans and Marzipan’s rewards, mail and resident quests. Gift boxes are only one source.
