Hi-Fi RUSH

Hi-Fi RUSH Platinum Guide (PS5)

Hi-Fi RUSH

PS5

Hi-Fi RUSH’s ending is the start of the Wall of Fame work. Use the first campaign to get comfortable with timing and watch each boss’s moves. Unlock partners before replaying a track for collectibles; many early obstacles need a power you only get later.

PS5 list: 62 base trophies including platinum. The 10 additional Arcade Challenge trophies are separate.

  • Platform: Native PS5 list from March 19, 2024.
  • Difficulty: All five difficulties are completed separately.
  • DLC: The Arcade group is not required for the base platinum.

Learn the rhythm before forcing ranks

Use the beat indicator if you lose timing in fights. Alternate combos with partner calls: Peppermint breaks barriers, Macaron breaks shields and Korsica puts out fire. Use these actions in story fights to build counters before replays; practise parrying when an enemy uses a readable attack.

  • Note tracks with low ranks and actions still at zero.

Open SPECTRA doors after the ending

Revisit tracks with every partner and check the numbered doors. Read the rule before fighting; some trials limit which actions count, so a combo that works in the story may fail there. On the same pass, revisit missed Vlogs, health and Reverb upgrades and Smidge’s lessons.

  • Finish the SPECTRA route and verify the unlocks at the hideout.

Plan a full set of tracks per difficulty

Completion does not carry down from a higher difficulty to a lower one. Use track select to check every level and grade. On Rhythm Master, maintain your combat rating by varying moves rather than repeating a safe attack; losing rhythm is much more punishing than on the first campaign.

  • Track S ranks by both track and difficulty.

Practise the Tower and no-damage bosses

Prepare for Rhythm Tower after buying useful attacks and slots. Reaching the top is different from the S rank required by the Wall. For no-damage bosses, repeat individual tracks and learn the warnings before phase transitions, then attack when you recognise a safe opening.

  • Check the Tower rank and boss challenges on the Wall.

Finish the Wall checklist in the hideout

Open the Wall of Fame and compare its unfinished tasks with the trophies. Perform the moves in the Training Room after buying them; a purchased combo is not a performed combo. If partner counters are unfinished, pick a track with the right enemies and use the specified ability rather than replaying the whole game at random.

  • Check the Wall and Training Room as separate lists.

Frequently asked questions

Is finishing on Rhythm Master enough?

No. Difficulty completions do not stack. Check each track on each of the five difficulties.

Do I need Arcade Challenge?

No. The ten add-on trophies are separate from the platinum.

Can I return to doors after the ending?

Yes. Track select lets you revisit with all unlocked partners.
