PS5
Lords of the Fallen requires coordinating a character, endings and quests rather than simply defeating bosses. Collection planning remains central: three separate characters do not replace cumulative progression required on one character. Before changing cycles, prepare equipment, spell and NPC-quest lists. Updates added modes and changed encounters; this guide separates the main list from additional challenges without presenting every launch limitation as a current rule.
Roadmap for the 2023 PS5 game with the Legacy/Veteran distinction. Additional modifier and Veteran groups are separate from the base platinum.
- Required difficulty: The base platinum can be planned in Legacy; Veteran and modifiers have additional groups.
- Missable trophies: Endings, NPC quests and rewards require coordinated journeys on the same character.
- Online: Co-op, PvP and shrine offerings have connection requirements separate from the campaign.
Choose the mode suited to the main platinum
Before starting, inspect Legacy and Veteran. Update 2.5 presents Veteran as an additional challenge with its own trophies and explains that the chosen save cannot later switch back to Legacy. Do not add that challenge accidentally when planning the main list. Cooperative players must also use compatible modes, so agree on them before building an entire route with a partner.
- Check Legacy/Veteran selection and partner compatibility before starting.
Plan the three endings before beacon decisions
Radiant, Adyr and Umbral follow different decisions. Before cleansing a beacon or handing over a narrative item, compare the action with the ending selected for that cycle. Keep one character for cumulative collection and record obtained rewards. The next ending should add missing items to that existing character rather than repeat an incompatible choice on a new file under the assumption that all collections are account-wide.
- Record the cycle’s intended ending before interacting with beacons.
Check NPCs before major area transitions
Keep reminders for Byron, Drustan, Stomund, Damarose, Kukajin and the Iron Wayfarer. Advancing the story can alter an encounter, and some quests depend on the intended ending. Exhaust dialogue and inspect items and rewards before progressing. Seeing a quest conclusion and receiving every item needed for platinum collections should not be treated as equivalent checks.
- Compare NPC progression and rewards before a major narrative transition.
Organize equipment, spells and stigmas
Keep separate lists for weapons, armour, rings and pendants, spells, ammunition and stigmas. Retain rewards from different routes on the same character. Before farming a random drop, identify the exact missing piece; duplicates do not finish a collection. The favourite-item lock added in updates can help prevent accidental selling or dropping while reorganizing inventory.
- Identify the missing item by name before beginning random-drop farming.
Review online goals and character progress before the next cycle
Separate cooperative assistance, invasions and shrine offerings; solo campaign completion does not prove those interactions are finished. Before the next cycle, also check bosses, collections and quest rewards on the current character. Guides written in 2023 can describe changed encounters or modes; version 2.5, for example, reworks Adyr. Follow the trophy condition and updated game rather than an older tactic presented as universal.
- Before changing cycles, compare endings, collections and unfinished online goals.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need three characters for the three endings?
Collection planning requires the same character through relevant routes. Three new files do not automatically replace that progression.
Is Veteran mandatory for the base platinum?
Version 2.5 introduces Veteran with separate additional trophies. Check the main group before adding that challenge to the route.
Can I sell duplicates without checking?
First compare collection names and use the favourite-item lock. Some items depend on different routes and replacing them can require another cycle.
