Finish the story and prepare for afterwards
Start with the difficulty chapter and continue through the story. Ragnarök requires battling the All-Father. At 03:30 the video moves to post-campaign activities; use that chapter to plan the second part of your route.
- Ragnarök · Battle the All-Father
Organise collections by realm
Track books, artefacts, flowers, Iðunn apples and horns of blood mead separately. Realm completion is discussed at 05:50. Ravens have a linked resource in the description, but should not be mistaken for a standalone trophy-list entry.
- The Florist · Collect one flower from each of the nine realms
- The Librarian · Collect all of the Books
- The Curator · Collect all of the Artifacts
- Full Belly · Obtain all of the Apples of Iðunn and Horns of Blood Mead
Complete equipment and dragon armour
Dragon Slayer requires crafting the Dragon Scaled Armour set; its chapter starts at 11:10. Also check all shields, relics and sword hilts. Completing these collections differs from upgrading a single piece.
- Phalanx · Obtain all Shields
- Collector · Obtain all Relics and Sword Hilts
- Dragon Slayer · Craft the Dragon Scaled Armor Set
Prepare for Hrólf and Gná
These opponents have separate gold trophies. Open the 13:41 chapter for Guerranera's comparison and check Grave Mistake and The True Queen individually.
- Grave Mistake · Battle King Hrólf
- The True Queen · Battle Gná
Finish favours and upgrades
Check a fully upgraded armour set and remaining favours. Requirements include Muspelheim trials, every Crater hunt and returning the four seasonal stags. At 21:49 the video returns to the trophy list for a final check.
- Invasive Species · Complete all of the Crater Hunts
- Pure of Hart · Return the Stags of the Four Seasons
- Trials by Fire · Complete the Trials of Muspelheim
- Ready for Commitment · Fully upgrade one armor set
- The Bear and the Wolf · Collect all Trophies
Source and scope
Editorial roadmap accompanying Guerranera's video, based on the author's published description and references and checked against the trophy archive. It is not a full transcript of the narration.
- The archive also contains additional trophies: the complete list's total differs from the number of objectives explained here.
Extended trophy roadmap
God of War Ragnarök lets you enjoy the story before finishing platinum. Many paths only become explorable with later tools, so forcing every obstacle on the first visit is not a useful completion measure. This roadmap separates story completion, realm cleanup and the toughest optional fights. Use map summaries to identify missing work, then compare them with trophies: an almost-complete area and a finished specific collection are different things. Valhalla remains an additional group rather than a requirement of the base platinum.
Base-game trophy and platinum roadmap for PS4 and PS5. Additional trophy groups are separate from the platinum.
- Required difficulty: You may choose a low difficulty and use accessibility options.
- Missable trophies: Trophy-required activities can be recovered after the story.
- Online: The base platinum does not require online modes.
Follow the story and mark blocked paths
When a route needs an unavailable ability, mark its area and continue. Story tools enable later cleanup; struggling with a still-locked obstacle does not accelerate platinum. Collect items you encounter and use the first journey to learn combat, favours and the signs distinguishing optional routes from the main path.
- Return to blocked paths after story unlocks.
Complete favours in geographical groups
After the story, group favours, creatures to free and collections within the same realm. Give the Crater a dedicated session: its hunts form a larger set than one encounter. Finishing one chain at a time exposes missing entries without multiplying realm transfers for single actions.
- Treat the Crater hunts as a dedicated checklist.
Audit relics, hilts and materials
Collector requires owning the collection entries, not simply defeating important enemies. Compare crafting options with their material requirements, then target the missing ingredient. If loot was left behind during combat, inspect lost items before needlessly retracing an area in the hope that the problem is purely geographical.
- Compare relic inventory with the blacksmith’s crafting options.
Read the Muspelheim trial rules
Read the arena goal before entering: survival, conditional eliminations and space control may favour different tools. If damage seems insufficient, reconsider the trial’s rule before rebuilding everything. Track trials actually finished, because gaining access to an arena does not complete its whole route.
- Adapt your build to the current trial condition.
Prepare for Hrólf and Gná after upgrading
Before these optional fights, review equipment level and synergies between runic attacks, relic and amulet. Early attempts should focus on recognising one sequence at a time: learning when to evade or interrupt is more useful than spending every resource immediately. Difficulty can be lowered without abandoning platinum; choose settings that help you learn the encounter.
- Finish major upgrades before optional bosses.
Audit the base game before Valhalla
For the final audit, separate platinum from Valhalla and New Game+ additions. Check less-obvious activities such as the funeral and favour rewards. If a map entry remains incomplete, identify its exact category: narrative or equipment requirements are not solved by automatically collecting every remaining environmental item.
- Separate additional groups from the platinum checklist.

The True Queen
