PS5
Mina the Hollower needs challenge planning rather than one exhaustive collection run. The trophy list combines the normal conclusion, New Game Plus, modifiers and restrictions that substantially change how you play. Start with a learning playthrough, then divide demanding restrictions into deliberate attempts. This guide covers the released PS5 version; earlier multiplatform announcements are not treated as proof that a PS4 release is available.
Base-game platinum roadmap covering priority objectives, cleanup and verified requirements.
- Difficulty: Mandatory time, resource and modifier challenges.
- Missable trophies: Run-wide conditions need separately planned attempts.
- Online: Single-player base-game challenges.
Learn without restricting your first run
During the first clear, experiment with weapons, sidearms and trinkets, noting which combinations let you defeat bosses consistently. Pursue equipment, upgrades and minigames: Fully Equipped works against the purpose of a low-collection attempt. Purchases can also advance spending requirements, but that progression is incompatible with Bone Pincher. The purpose here is to learn the route before demanding that you complete it under restrictive conditions.
- Record reliable setups and separate full collection from restricted challenges.
Prepare New Game Plus
A normal clear does not award Hollowin’ Again!: you must finish the New Game Plus progression specified by the game. Before starting, inspect the screen explaining retained progress and changed rules. A run with modifiers is not automatically a genuine NG+ cycle. Keep your collection playthrough as a reference and assess enemies before adding restrictions. Previously unlocked equipment helps, but you still need to understand the conditions imposed by the new cycle.
- Read the rules and carryover information before confirming the next cycle.
Check which modifiers count
Hardifier and Weirdifier require three active modifiers from their respective categories when finishing the game. Selecting any three options is not enough. Read the Feat warnings before starting because certain options can prevent unlocks and behaviour changes between versions. Update the PS5 build and use the corresponding patch notes rather than automatically applying Steam beta rules. For the under-four-hour challenge, use a learned route and avoid detours unrelated to that attempt.
- Check category, number and Feat eligibility indicators before beginning.
Separate spending, loss and Underlab restrictions
Bone Pincher prohibits spending Bones in shops, whereas Bone Keeper requires never losing your Bones. These are different restrictions and should be tracked separately. Off the Grid prohibits entering the Underlab throughout the run, so prepare your route and equipment before attempting it. Do not test an entrance assuming it is harmless. Below Zero also demands a negative collection percentage: an ordinary empty inventory at zero does not meet its stated requirement.
- Write down the run’s objective and check every action against that rule.
Finish equipment-specific combat challenges
Read the required weapon, accessory and encounter context together before each challenge. Killing an ordinary enemy with a technique is not equivalent to defeating a boss with it. Other trophies need consecutive hits, specified distance or a particular combo window. Prepare one objective at a time around a manageable encounter. If an unlock fails, recheck the wording and installed version before repeating an entire cycle or assuming the save is unusable.
- Match each challenge to its exact weapon and accessory requirements.
Trophies to watch
Hollowin' Again!
Finish the game in New Game Plus.
Complete genuine New Game Plus; normal-run modifiers do not replace this progression.

Off the Grid
Finish the game without ever entering the Underlab.
Plan a run that never enters the Underlab, separate from unrestricted collection.

Finish the game with -1% Collection or less.
The requirement is below zero: check the actual collection percentage rather than treating it as a basic no-pickups run.
Frequently asked questions
Can a collection run unlock everything?
No. The list includes restrictions incompatible with purchases and full collection, alongside New Game Plus and modifier challenges.
Do Steam beta notes describe PS5 rules?
Not necessarily. Official notes distinguish versions, so check the PS5 build and your run’s Feat eligibility warnings.
Does Off the Grid only prohibit shopping in the Underlab?
No. Its requirement prohibits entering it. Do not replace that rule with a spending or upgrade restriction.
