Roboquest

Roboquest: platinum trophy guide PS5 / PS4

Roboquest

PS4 / PS5

Use your first Roboquest runs to discover routes and permanent upgrades. Do the crystal and gadget routes before chasing an S average: that challenge needs plenty of kills without losing time on detours. Museum completion instead rewards runs devoted to collecting.

Unlock the crystals, finish the Museum and reach IRIS with an S average on Guardian 4.

  • Difficulty: Guardian 4 with an S average for Ultimate Guardian.
  • Missables: Runs are repeatable; gear and ranks from a run do not carry into the next one.
  • Online: Co-op is available, but the PlayStation base list does not require it.

Find Buddybot in Canyons and bring it to Oasis

In Canyons, find the small red-and-blue robot that does not shoot, and interact to pick it up. Once unlocked, you can collect it at the start of runs. In Oasis, check behind the waterfall: open the door with Buddybot equipped and have the robot inside upgrade it to Fantastic. For the Buddybot clear, keep a second weapon suited to IRIS.

  • Check the unlock, Fantastic upgrade and Buddybot clear.

Make dedicated detours for the six crystals

The blue crystal is in The Rift: cross Oasis quickly to reach its door before it closes, then finish the bomb trial. For purple, open the Ruins laser passage to Scrapyard; red is in The Pit, reached by the Quarry detour. Finish Doom Gardens, Fusion Core and Waste Station as well, then check your permanent rewards at Basecamp.

  • Check off all six corrupted areas and crystals at Basecamp.

Swap weapons on Museum runs

Vary your routes for Data-Logs and different robot types, including variants that appear on Guardian. On easier runs, pick up weapons without the blue Museum star and use them until their card is complete. In Haven City bring Leonardo Brushido his brush: on later runs you can buy missing cards from him with wrenches.

  • Check the arsenal, Robo-Zoo and logs before repeating a route.

Unlock Guardian 4 and aim for S in every area

Win on Hard, then clear Guardian 1, 2 and 3 in order. For Ultimate Guardian, use a practiced route, check the experience bar below the minimap and hit S without spending too long in rooms. Prioritize robots that restrict movement or protect others. With Engineer, deploy drones before entering groups and keep a secondary damage source for IRIS.

  • Verify Guardian 4 and the S average at run end.

Finish base class goals and keep updates separate

Clear the base classes on a comfortable difficulty so you can work on their specific actions too. For Whack-A-Mole, take Bonk Hammer on Guardian, wait for a run with Diggy Mole, and save the hammer for the finishing blow. Check your PS4 or PS5 base list before tackling Superbot or Endless, which have separate groups.

  • Check base classes, wins and challenges.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need online play for the platinum?

No. Co-op is optional and the listed PlayStation base trophies can be attempted solo.

Are Superbot and Endless required for the platinum?

What is the blue star on a weapon for?

It indicates that the weapon’s card is complete. In a Museum run, prioritize weapons that do not display it.
