Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel PS5 Platinum Guide

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel

PS5

The Jotunnslayer platinum gets longer if you leave all the repeat objectives until last. Catapults, mortars and status effects count during ordinary runs, so work on them while unlocking classes and permanent upgrades. Keep the mutually exclusive challenges separate: one boss with god skills only and another with class skills only. Set aside a dedicated run for the 45-minute challenge.

A route for the 39 base-game PS5 trophies. Begin with regular raids, then separate the difficulty clears and the survival challenge.

  • Required difficulty: Insane for the five realms in the base list.
  • Missable trophies: No point of no return; raids and challenges are repeatable.
  • Online: No multiplayer trophies.

Open the five realms with regular raids

Start in Niflheim and move to the other realms as they open. Complete the map objectives in each raid before seeking its Jötunn. Spend early resources on the character you can fight comfortably with and the gods whose skills fit that character. Reach Helheim before starting all five Insane clears; you will have access to more classes and skill evolutions.

  • Track Niflheim, Muspelheim, Jotunheim, Svartalfheim and Helheim on the list.

Build mortar, catapult and status counts

In Muspelheim, destroy mortars as they appear during the waves. In Svartalfheim, use catapults whenever they are ready; Frequent-Flyer counts uses, so merely passing by does not help. Change gods when working on a specific status effect, such as Fear from Nidhogg’s skills. Pick up food during regular runs as well, outside your no-healing attempts.

  • Pair each practice raid with at least one cumulative objective.

Use separate runs for class abilities

Rotate classes before finishing all five realms. On Revenant, take the Beastmaster specialisation and movement speed boosts. Keep moving around the map so more wolves stay active before reaching you. Use Berserker for the 60-second Rage challenge instead. On Seeress, use experience crystals as a source of kills as well as a way to level up.

  • Check all six class objectives and note those still unfinished.

Survive 45 minutes in standard Endless

Try Endless in Niflheim once you have a character with area attacks and enough upgrades. Use standard Endless for Time Flies: the PS5 walkthrough distinguishes the qualifying run from Relaxed mode, which is useful for some counters. Keep a path through the horde to avoid being boxed in, and check the timer before ending the run. This is also a chance to work on the single-run damage target.

  • Check Time Flies and Lord of Destruction after the attempt.

Finish the three restricted boss objectives

For Godlike, choose only god skills until you beat a Jötunn. For Classy, choose only class skills instead. Give Purgatory its own attempt: avoid food and healing choices so you can check the condition separately from other challenges. Then finish Fortune & Glory through the in-game objective menu. That trophy counts the game’s challenges, not your console trophies.

  • Before leaving the game, check for 20 in-game challenges and any remaining counters.

Frequently asked questions

Can I earn everything on a low difficulty?

No. Five trophies explicitly require Insane, one per realm. Use easier raids first to prepare your unlocks.

Does Relaxed mode count for Time Flies?

The PS5 walkthrough recommends standard Endless for Time Flies. Use Relaxed for some cumulative cleanup, not for the 45-minute attempt.

Which counters should I start early?

Collect food, fire catapults and destroy mortars when you encounter them. For status effects, pick a skill that applies the missing one instead of repeating the same build.
