PS5
The Great Circle rewards exploration combining clues and resources. Journal notes, relics and skills learned from books are separate collections; finding many crates does not prove all are finished. Use a regional checklist, progressing Fieldwork and Mysteries while checking funds. Currency differs between areas, so a large balance earned elsewhere cannot solve a local purchase. Base objectives can be cleaned up after the story, but understand how to recover items from closed sections.
PS5 base campaign. The Order of Giants has a separate additional group.
- Required difficulty: High difficulty is not required.
- Missable trophies: Base conditions can be cleaned up; some items from closed sections are relocated to hubs.
- Online: Offline single-player campaign.
Divide the journal by region and category
Before leaving a region, inspect notes, photographs and open activities in the journal. Plan a map route and verify records after collecting. Identify the missing category; a relic does not replace a narrative note, and finishing a Mystery does not guarantee every local entry.
- Check journal categories before departure.
Complete Fieldwork while exploring
Fieldwork opens paths and opportunities useful for collecting. Near a request, check whether it can progress without interrupting an incompatible task. Record actual completion rather than merely access; entering a case-related location does not automatically finish its story.
- Verify Fieldwork conclusions in the journal.
Manage regional currencies
Check the regional balance before planning a purchase. Funds from other areas are not all interchangeable, so seek money where it is needed. Inspect relevant containers while exploring and reserve resources for outstanding books or purchases rather than treat a large total balance as collection completion.
- Compare purchases with the correct region’s currency.
Learn skills from books
Bookman requires learning abilities, not merely collecting volumes. Check owned books and required points before marking the category complete. Vendors and fighting rings can offer different items; track purchased books and those requiring a specific destination.
- Verify learning each ability in addition to owning its book.
Recover closed-section items through their hub
When a story section becomes inaccessible, check its regional-hub recovery before restarting the game. Items from places such as the zeppelin or hotel can be relocated. For the final audit, separate relics and journal completion from The Order of Giants group, unnecessary for the base platinum.
- Check regional recovery before beginning another campaign.
