PS5
Gotham Knights benefits from organised city cleanup before New Game+. The first cycle introduces the cases and four heroes, but the maximum-level trophy needs the higher cap of the next cycle. The important decision is when to switch: enemies and activities already unlocked are easier to clean up in your established world. This route places cases first, then patrols and equipment, with next-cycle experience saved for the end. Free expansions have objectives separate from the original platinum.
Base-game trophy and platinum roadmap for PS5. Additional trophy groups are separate from the platinum.
- Required difficulty: The easiest difficulty is compatible with platinum.
- Missable trophies: No permanent base-game lockouts; plan New Game+.
- Online: Base platinum can be tackled solo offline.
Unlock activities through main cases
The story opens crime types, side cases and enemy factions. Progress enough to unlock trophy activities, trying heroes without treating each change as a new save. Note requirements involving particular enemies: they are easier while their faction is active in the world, before restarting story progression.
- Unlock factions and track trophy-specific targets.
Finish villain dossiers
Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze and Clayface have their own chains. Follow each dossier through its conclusion rather than stopping after the first recognisable fight. Check menu updates and new stages: one completed mission does not necessarily close an entire case. Group travel while keeping track of which chain you are finishing.
- Finish villain case chains through their final stage.
Plan a night for premeditated crimes
For Not On My Watch, inspect all premeditated crimes available that night and review the map before returning to the Belfry. Random encounters do not replace those targets. A district route reduces travel; after a failed objective, treat another night as a fresh attempt rather than assuming elapsed time completes the count.
- Do not return before checking premeditated crimes.
Choose a reference hero for Momentum and gear
Use one reference character to audit all Momentum abilities while remaining free to switch heroes. Read the challenges for missing unlocks. The legendary set needs suit, melee weapon and ranged weapon: three duplicates of one category do not satisfy it. Compare blueprint, rarity and materials before crafting.
- Audit one complete hero and three legendary gear categories.
Clean up the world before the next cycle
Before New Game+, check late-game enemies, collectibles and other accessible activities. Returning to the beginning resets story progression, so postponing a currently available target can lengthen the route. Patrol experience can also advance the crime count; inspect actual missing work before starting a separate grind.
- Finish objectives in the unlocked world before NG+.
Reach level 40 in New Game+
The first cycle caps level at 30; the next allows level 40. After switching, choose missions and patrols for experience instead of automatically repeating completed collections. During the final audit, separate the base group from Heroic Assault and KELVIN: additional visible trophies do not automatically become platinum requirements.
- Use NG+ for level 40 without adding expansion requirements.
