Dragon Quest Builders 2: PS4 Platinum Guide

Dragon Quest Builders 2

PS4

The story opens tools and islands: advance it while collecting a variety of items, puzzles and strong enemies. Start a strawberry farm and an animal house early on the Isle of Awakening. The fourth generation takes time, so let the pets grow while you finish other tasks.

Western PS4 edition: 31 trophies. This is the second Builders game with Malroth, not the first Builders or Dragon Quest XI.

  • Trophies: 31, including platinum
  • Mode: The entire platinum can be earned solo
  • Tablet targets: 30 targets in addition to the story chapters

Register discoveries as you play the story

Clear Furrowfield, Khrumbul-Dun and Moonbrooke, then follow the story through Malhalla. Activate naviglobes as you see them and try collecting new materials before leaving. Solve easy puzzles on story islands: logging the leftovers works better than interrupting every journey for a full search.

  • Track 12 naviglobes and 15 puzzles separately.

Use the tablets to grow your base

On the Isle of Awakening return to the tablets in the three districts. Pick goals that overlap with Builderpedia work: build different rooms, give residents work, and expand crops. Pick up the hearts they leave. The 3,000 gratitude points are cumulative, so spend points opening shores when you need them.

  • Check for 30 Tablet Targets in addition to the required story stages in the three districts.

Build for variety rather than volume

Open the Builderpedia categories and work on the lowest one. Discover new crafting recipes for 65%, pick up distinct items for 50%, and build rooms the game recognizes as new for 35%. Reuse an enclosure by swapping its required furniture; duplicating the same room ten times does not add discoveries.

  • Check that the new room name appears when you enter after furnishing it.

Open shores and seek different enemy groups

Use new Explorer’s Shores to find materials and monsters you have not registered. Fight super-strong island monsters and keep them separate from metal monsters: the trophies have different thresholds. Look for Liquid Metal Slimes in Moonbrooke’s cave or visit Laguna Perfuma once unlocked.

  • Before returning to base, check progress toward 20 super-strong monsters, five metals and 60% monster discovery.

Breed through the fourth generation

Bring two dogs from Blossom Bay or two cats from Sunny Sands. Assign an animal house with bedding and a bowl, feed them and wait for 100% happiness. Give each adult a Moreberry and sleep. Breed two babies per generation, let them mature, then use that pair to continue through the fourth.

  • Grow extra strawberries for Moreberries and separate generations to avoid picking the wrong pair.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need multiplayer?

No. All 31 PS4 trophies can be earned solo; online visits and building are optional.

Must I hold 3,000 points without spending them?

No. Beloved Builder tracks the total earned on the Isle of Awakening, not the current balance.

Does any baby pet unlock Rare Breeder?

No. The first pair starts the breeding line. Repeat with adult pairs from later generations until you get the rare coloring.
