PS4 / PS5
Cult of the Lamb combines community management with crusades, but platinum also needs preparation before a character disappears. Defeat Ratau at Knucklebones before completing the Fox branch affecting him. Build a stable cult and organise collections while distinguishing many later additions from the original list. Damage-free victories over the four Bishops deserve dedicated attempts; ordinary campaign success does not certify those flawless encounters.
Roadmap for the PS4/PS5 base list. Additional trophy groups must be distinguished from platinum requirements.
- Required difficulty: No high difficulty is mandatory; damage-free victories over the four original Bishops are required.
- Missable trophies: Defeat Ratau at Knucklebones before the Fox’s final choice concerning him.
- Online: The route can be completed offline and has no multiplayer trophies.
Stabilise the cult before long crusades
Secure food, rest and hygiene before leaving for consecutive encounters. A community losing faith and followers during each expedition delays the twenty-follower threshold and building development. Spend early resources on recurring needs, then organise rituals and sermons to unlock doctrines, weapons and curses. Check conditions after returning instead of immediately departing again while illness and unusable facilities accumulate.
- Prepare the village and check followers and faith before each long expedition.
Beat Ratau before completing the Fox branch
Once Ratau’s home is accessible, play Knucklebones against him and verify a registered victory. Find the other opponents during crusades and challenge them too. The Fox’s final choice can remove the opportunity to beat Ratau, so do not complete that request before this step is secured. Platinum needs more than one win against an arbitrary opponent: Master of Chance requires every relevant opponent.
- Secure the Ratau victory before losing access to him.
Prepare all four damage-free Bishop victories
After learning their arenas, prepare separate no-damage attempts against Leshy, Heket, Kallamar and Shamura. Control hazards and favour recognisable attack windows instead of trading health for damage as on an ordinary crusade. A hit makes that attempt unsuitable for the flawless trophy even if victory follows. Use routes returning to Bishops to retry with better preparation and familiarity.
- Record an actually damage-free victory for each of the four Bishops.
Separate tarot cards, follower forms and fleeces
Visit vendors and secondary encounters awarding tarot cards, play Knucklebones and complete requests supplying talisman fragments. Seeing a reward in a menu is not the same as buying it. For fleeces, check the set required by the base trophy rather than cosmetic and later additions. Record missing follower forms and cards with their source so you do not repeat random crusades for an item sold at a particular location.
- Record missing card and form sources before starting another crusade.
Finish doctrines and progression before expansions
Finish cult development, doctrines, weapons and curses by checking progression screens rather than the story ending alone. Plan required sacrifices and the simultaneous coin total while retaining resources to sustain the village during cleanup. Relics of the Old Faith, Sins of the Flesh and Woolhaven expand activities and trophy lists; tackle them using separate checklists instead of making every addition mandatory for the original platinum.
- Check base doctrines and unlocks before opening expansion checklists.

Frequently asked questions
Which choice should not be made too early?
Do not finish the Fox branch concerning Ratau before defeating him at Knucklebones; that removes the opportunity needed for the opponent collection.
Is beating each Bishop once enough?
For story progression yes, but not for flawless trophies. Leshy, Heket, Kallamar and Shamura each also require a no-damage victory.
Is Woolhaven mandatory for platinum?
No. It has an additional group. Distinguish the original trophy list from one-hundred-percent completion of every installed addition.
