Grime II: PS5 Platinum Trophy Guide

Written by

PS5

Reach GRIME II's ending on Standard, but do not rush from boss to boss. Seals, Surrogates, Prey Molds and Breathcrowns have separate trophies; a region you crossed may still have unrecorded goals. After gaining an ability, use return trips to close off unfinished paths.

GRIME II's PS5 list. The digital release was March 31, 2026, before September's physical Definitive Edition.

  • Difficulty: Hatch requires reaching the ending on Standard Mode
  • Cleanup: Recheck side paths and absorptions before the ending
  • Online: Single-player platinum

Start on Standard and activate Surrogates

Choose Standard from the start for Hatch. Activate Surrogates even when you do not need healing: the trophy needs all checkpoints, not just those on the main route. Use Kankan fights to learn parry timing and absorption. Keep a weapon and mold combination you can control in confined areas.

  • Check the mode before moving on with the story.

Progress Prey Molds as you explore

When you meet a new species, look for opportunities to absorb its Mold Wards rather than always killing it with a weapon. Check progress in the menu: summoning a form or absorbing once does not always give a permanent mold. In areas with similar enemies, verify which variant you encountered before moving on.

  • Track completed Prey Molds separately from item molds.

Break the second seal before leaving a region

The first seal and map unlock do not finish an area. Look for the second seal too, which helps unlock travel between Surrogates. For Jagged Forest, return to lower Kankan after obtaining a Breathcrown, open the barrier and activate Lahav's Root. From Knight's Cave Surrogate, take the Fourth Lahav Knight detour for the Knight Breathcrown.

  • Track seals and Surrogates separately: opening the map does not activate every checkpoint.

Track boss absorptions separately from Knights

Record each absorbed boss and keep a separate Lahav Knight list. The story route does not replace optional arenas: check the Marah, Lahav and Shamay encounters and review named boss trophies such as Firstsmiths and Impaled. When a requirement names two enemies, do not mark it done after the first.

  • After each encounter, verify absorption where required, rather than just reaching the room.

Finish Breathcrowns, Discarded Flesh and upgrades

Revisit side routes with abilities gained through the story. Cross-check Breathcrowns, Discarded Flesh, Force pickups and items against the map; their trophies use different thresholds. Concentrate materials on one maxed weapon and one maxed armor, and check level 50. Save before the final route and compare remaining goals with missing Surrogates and seals.

  • Complete at least one max-level upgrade in each of those two categories.

Trophies to watch

Stealer of Forms

Acquire all Prey Molds

Verify that each form is permanently acquired; this trophy does not count item molds.

Seal Breaker

Remove all Seals

Find both seals in areas that have them, even if the map is already visible.

World Surrogate

Unlock all Surrogates

Activate Surrogates in side areas yourself. Seeing them on the map does not activate them.

Hatch

Reach the End on Standard Mode

Choose Standard at the start and keep it through the ending for this requirement.

Great Eater

Defeat and absorb all Bosses

Check optional bosses and follow the absorption prompt where applicable.

Frequently asked questions

Does an easier mode count for Hatch?

Hatch explicitly specifies Standard Mode. Start on Standard for this route, rather than relying on a late mode change.

Do seals and Surrogates count towards the same trophy?

No. Seal Breaker tracks seals, while World Surrogate tracks activated checkpoints. Revisit side paths to see which set is incomplete.

Do I need the physical Definitive Edition?

The verified PS5 list already includes Hatch and the base objectives from the digital edition. September's physical release is separate from the March digital launch.
