PS5
Hades II reached PS5 in 2026 after its earlier PC and Nintendo versions. Its platinum involves continuing progression through dialogue, materials and repeated expeditions: a first victory finishes neither the story nor the trophy list. Give each return to the Crossroads a purpose and alternate gathering with combat goals. This roadmap avoids transferring the first Hades game’s conditions to Melinoë and does not assume save transfers from other platforms.
Base-game platinum roadmap covering priority objectives, cleanup and verified requirements.
- Difficulty: God Mode is compatible with trophies.
- Missable trophies: Progression continues through new nights, dialogue and expeditions.
- Online: Single-player route with no cooperative objectives.
Use every return to the Crossroads
After an expedition, speak to characters with new dialogue, inspect available incantations and start useful crops before departing again. Resources serve different purposes, so spending everything on an immediate improvement can delay another unlock requiring the same material. Keep a short list of what the next objective needs and choose gathering tools accordingly. This routine makes even nights without a new boss victory productive.
- Check dialogue, incantations, crops and materials before each departure.
Unlock tools before advanced challenges
Experiment with weapons and build understandable Arcana combinations instead of depending on one lucky setup. Unassailable requires every Arcana card, so unlocking one does not complete the collection. Also inspect weapon aspects and their associated prophecies. God Mode can help you learn encounters without disabling trophies; there is no reason to turn a personal difficulty preference into a requirement absent from the list.
- Check the complete Arcana collection and outstanding weapon aspects.
Open surface progression
Do not restrict expeditions to the Underworld route. The surface has its own progression, including early limitations addressed through dialogue and incantations. When the game identifies a barrier, look for its corresponding unlock at the Crossroads rather than repeatedly trying to overpower it. Gather route-specific materials and record the upgrades using them. Alternating routes advances story, tools and objectives without turning every night into the same expedition.
- Check surface unlocks and resources specific to that route.
Work on prophecies and relationships
Hand of the Fates requires sixty fulfilled prophecies. Before an expedition, select requirements you can advance with its weapon, boons or expected encounters, then claim completed rewards. Relationships also involve dialogue and later opportunities: one gift does not replace an entire chain. Spread attention across characters and check for new exchanges after important events. Working on these systems in parallel avoids progressing far through combat while leaving lengthy narrative chains untouched.
- Choose concrete prophecy goals for each night and claim completed entries.
Continue from the first victory to the epilogue
One victory against Chronos is not equivalent to Death to Chronos or Golden Age. Continue with incantations and events unlocked after victories, including materials earned on advanced routes. Read the cauldron and story objectives before repeating expeditions without a purpose: progression often requires enabling the next step rather than merely winning again. The epilogue follows the true ending, so track narrative completion alongside collections and prophecies.
- Track the first victory, true ending and epilogue as separate milestones.
