PS4 / PS5
The road to platinum ends with Galdera, a fight that uses all eight travelers. Start building two parties as you finish the stories so you do not have to gather equipment, job points and support skills from scratch at the Gate of Finis.
The first Octopath Traveler, native 2024 PS4 and PS5 editions: 29 trophies per list and a single-player platinum.
- PlayStation release: June 6, 2024, PS4 and PS5
- Lists: 29 trophies on each version
- Multiplayer: Not required
Finish all eight journeys
Recruit every companion and reach the fourth chapter of each story. Rotate characters in side quests and hold on to weapons that can break different types of shields. Use Cyrus or Alfyn to gather information and Olberic or H’aanit to fight townspeople: those two trophies each require 50.
- Make a first pass through the townspeople as you visit new settlements.
Shrines and support skills
Activate secondary jobs along the way and return to the four advanced shrines with good defenses. Balogar unlocks Runelord, Steorra Starseer, Winnehild Warmaster and Dreisang Sorcerer. Track finished jobs and spend JP on their active and passive skills: beating a guardian opens the class, but does not finish its skills.
- Check remaining skills after earning the four advanced jobs.
Unlock the Ruins of Hornburg
Follow In Search of Father and Daughter of the Dark God through their second parts. After all eight endings, reach West S’warkii Trail and find Alphas and the Impresario. Resolve the nearby encounter to continue toward Hornburg. Check previous towns for other side stories: opening the gate does not complete Worth the Detour.
- Finish both quest chains before looking for the Impresario west of S’warkii.
Set up the 99,999 hit
Equip Surpassing Power on the damage dealer, since the normal cap is too low. Pick an enemy with a known weakness, break its shield and use the opening for a powerful attack at maximum boost. Raise the attacker’s offense and lower the defense matching your damage type before taking the shot.
- If the result stops at 9,999, check the attacker’s equipped support skill.
Clear Galdera’s gauntlet
Save before crossing the Gate of Finis: there is no saving or leaving once inside. After eight bosses, split the travelers into two parties for Galdera’s phases. Give both groups healing, revival and shield-breaking options; putting all damage in one group leaves the second exposed. Enter with supplies and skills already organized.
- Prepare both teams before taking on the boss sequence.

Frequently asked questions
Which edition does this guide cover?
The first game’s native 2024 PS4 and PS5 versions. The PS list has 29 trophies; another platform’s achievement list may add objectives.
Can I save between the Gate bosses?
No. Save before entering and plan to complete the whole sequence and final encounter without an internal save point.
Does Octopath Traveler II have the same platinum?
No. Even when names repeat, the sequel has different stories, collectibles and a separate path to its superboss.
