Once Upon a Puppet PS5 platinum guide

Once Upon a Puppet

PS5

Once Upon a Puppet alternates Drev’s jumps with stage tricks triggered by Nieve’s thread. On your first pass, learn where collectibles hide backstage, but prepare for two conditions before reaching them: the Phantom Forest arrows and picking up shards in a prince costume. Leave the deathless clear until you know the route.

Once Upon a Puppet base list on PS5. Includes a deathless clear and costume-specific challenges.

  • Difficulty: The longest challenge is a deathless story clear.
  • Missables: Watch the forest bow sequence, costume shard pickups and deathless attempt.
  • Online: All trophies are in the single-player campaign.

Help the inhabitants before leaving Haven Hamlet

On your first visit to Haven Hamlet, talk to puppets and stagehands in trouble and finish their requests. Search the side paths before leaving. In Corrupted Hamlet, check that you banished every Stagefright for Stagefright Conquered. Helping inhabitants and clearing the corrupted village are separate activities.

  • Return to anyone who asked for help before moving on.

Aim carefully during the bow sequence

In Phantom Forest, wait until a target is clearly in sight before firing. Every Arrow Has a Target checks for wasted arrows, so avoid test shots. In particular, prepare for the bow introduction on your first visit. If you miss, check the result immediately rather than assuming chapter select can always replay the tutorial from its start.

  • Do not fire a stray arrow in the forest.

Equip the prince costume before taking shards

Once you have a Prince Eadric costume, equip it before picking up remaining stained-glass shards. The trophy checks 15 pickups while you are wearing one of his costumes. For the other outfit tasks, equip the right costume before acting: Oracle for punching obstacles, Beast for shooting targets, and Questing Prince for wall yanks.

  • Track shards collected with the costume actually equipped.

Audit props, costumes and shards

Before starting the deathless attempt, finish collections on the first save. Check thread-operated side paths and spaces behind movable props. In Junk Monster fights, group two together for the Little, Yet Fierce punch, then use a different encounter with a suspended prop for All’s Well That Ends Well.

  • Track the three types of items in the full collection.

Do a dedicated deathless run

Start a fresh game for A Flawless Performance once you know the hazards and bosses. Pause before the most dangerous sequences and skip detours for items you already earned. If you die, do not assume reloading a checkpoint clears the counter; the documented condition is reaching the ending without dying.

  • Separate the deathless run from the collectible sweep.

Frequently asked questions

Can I combine deathless and collectibles?

Yes, if you know the routes. A dedicated attempt cuts detours and makes it easier to isolate the dangerous sections.

Can I pick up a shard and change costume afterward?

No. Wear the prince costume at the moment of pickup.

Does this list require co-op?

No. You control Drev and Nieve in the same single-player campaign.
