PS5
I Am Your Beast’s platinum is built around improving short routes. First learn the missions and notice where you can pick up a weapon or change elevation. Then inspect your final time and kill bonuses; changing the encounter order can help more than repeating the same route faster. Track four sets separately, because Story, Challenges, Support Group and Cold Sweat do not ask for the same result.
PS5 list for the original game. Covers Story, Challenges, COI Support Group and Cold Sweat.
- Difficulty: S rank in the relevant Story, Challenge and Support Group levels.
- Missables: Timed stages can be retried from level select.
- Online: Rank medals are individual results; no online matches required.
Clear the story and learn each mission exit
Play through once without chasing every S rank. In White Noise, for example, learn how to reach the targets in sequence and which areas lead to the exit. In Cavalry, note where waves arrive and keep an escape route open. Knowing the entrance, weapons and exit saves time on later attempts.
- Use the first attempt to learn how to move between groups.
Read the time after kill bonuses
After a mission, compare the raw clock with the result after bonuses. Try opening with a group near an environmental hazard, grab the most useful dropped weapon, and move before running out of ammunition. Change one segment per retry. If an extra kill sends you backward, check whether its bonus makes the detour worthwhile.
- Compare the final score time, not just the raw clock.
Build routes for individual Challenges
Open Challenge and read each objective before starting. A strong Story route does not help when the task has a different constraint or goal. In stages such as Wristwatch and Run Wild, focus on the segments that cost most time and save detours for practice runs. Check the rank in the menu after each clear.
- Tick off only challenges marked S in the menu.
Replay COI Support Group for Therapy Complete
Support Group rewards clearing the set; Therapy Complete requires S ranks. Give Pitch Black, Rocket Science and the other stages dedicated attempts. Note where the level gives you another weapon and where you can jump straight to the next target. Finish the final stage and compare the ranks before leaving the menu.
- Check both completion and rank for every stage in the set.
Finish Cold Sweat and audit the remaining sets
Play the Cold Sweat stages from Limbo onward and reach their results screens. The PS5 Cold Sweat trophy requires clearing those levels. If the platinum is still missing, check Story, Challenges and Support Group before repeating every Cold Sweat stage for S ranks. Those are the sets with an explicit top-rank trophy.
- Track Cold Sweat clears separately from S ranks in other sets.

Frequently asked questions
Does Cold Sweat require S ranks?
The trophy for that set asks you to finish the missions. The S-rank requirements are in Story, Challenges and COI Support Group.
Why can two runs with the same time award different ranks?
The result takes kill bonuses into account. Check the results screen to see whether a detour improved the scored time.
Do I need a new campaign for a missed rank?
No. Retry the individual mission from its own set.
