PS4
For the Lonely Mountains: Downhill platinum, use short attempts to learn one section before committing to the full descent. Your route changes when you are looking for a rest spot or need to maintain speed. Keep a grid of the sixteen trails and six bikes: challenges and simple finishes both matter.
The PS4 base set has 48 trophies. Eldfjall, Lostman’s Grove and the later trails belong to the extended 100% route.
- Base trophies: 48 on PS4, including the platinum.
- Trails: 16 in the base game, across four mountains.
- Online: The base challenges can be done solo.
Open the mountains with early challenges
Start on Graterhorn and follow the most predictable line. Brake before blind corners and let the bike straighten before you accelerate again. Clear beginner challenges to progress through trails, mountains and bike parts. Give a crash-free descent its own attempt without also chasing your fastest time.
- Note when Redmoor Peaks, Sierra Rivera and Mount Riley open.
Practise one shortcut at a time
For expert goals, begin with the section that costs you the most time or breaks the crash limit. Repeat the same approach, change one braking point and compare checkpoint times. Shortcuts help only if you can land in a position that also lets you make the following corner.
- When a challenge specifies a bike, practise the line with that model.
Search for rest spots away from timed runs
There are four rest spots per mountain. Start with two recognizable detours: on Wandering Woods, turn back from the start toward the rocks; on Fivefinger Lake, turn around at the start and follow the path. Use an untimed ride to find the others, matching the trail and checkpoint references in the location guide.
- Tick off each rest spot when the game registers it, regardless of the run time.
Finish Free Ride in daylight and at night
Cross the line in daytime Free Ride to open that trail at night. When you return after dark, use the wider route you have already learned and brake earlier where the surface is hard to see. Keep two columns for the sixteen descents: Free Rider checks the daytime ones, while a separate goal covers the night finishes.
- Finish the run past the final checkpoint to record the finish.
Cross-check six bikes and sixteen trails
Fill in missing finishes on Grasshopper, Pacebreaker, Javelin, Trailblazer, Boar and Geronimo. Check off combinations already finished during challenges rather than starting over. If you still need crashes or jumps, pick a section near the needed obstacle and keep it separate from clean runs: a good expert attempt is too valuable to trade for one more crash.
- Use the individual bike trophies to see which column is still incomplete.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Eldfjall Island?
No. Eldfjall and the other added areas are separate groups from the original four-mountain platinum.
Must every bike win every challenge?
King of Bikes counts finishes on every trail with every bike. An individual challenge may separately specify a bike.
Is this the Snow Riders list?
No. Downhill is the PS4 biking list; Snow Riders is the separate skiing game.
