PS4 / PS5
Sackboy combines exploration, scores, deathless goals and cooperation. Distinguish those milestones: a prize-rich level is not automatically an Ace, and finishing story does not complete the final Knitted Knight trial. Cooperative requirements can be tackled locally with a second controller; online multiplayer was added through an update and is not the only route. Begin by collecting resources and learning levels, then prepare harsher trials through focused attempts.
Base-game platinum roadmap for PS4, PS5. DLC trophy groups are separate.
- Required difficulty: There is no difficulty selector; gold in the ultimate trial is required.
- Missable trophies: Levels remain replayable after story; collections and goals can be cleaned up.
- Online: Cooperation is required but can be local with a second controller.
Orbs and access before cleanup
Progress while collecting Dreamer’s Orbs needed for access. Platinum does not require every reward, but some levels and trials need sufficient collection. Record hidden doors and skipped teamwork routes so cleanup happens with the right partner and tools.
- Record hidden doors and teamwork levels to revisit.
Score and Ace are different
Golden Boy concerns score while Amazing Ace concerns deathless levels. Focus attempts deliberately: seek bubbles and multipliers for gold, prioritise survival for Ace. Audit badge goals afterward; a high score does not automatically certify every other level goal.
- Separate score attempts from deathless attempts.
Local or online cooperation
Arrange team trophies during a dedicated session. Inspect whether an action needs a rescue, joint finish or emote before loading the level. A second controller enables local cooperation, but coordinated actions still require managing both characters. Merely having another Sackboy present does not complete every multiplayer condition.
- Read the cooperative condition before selecting a level.
Gerald, objects and wardrobe
Naturalist and Player’s Player are separate collections: find Gerald and specified objects in detours and question-mark areas. For wardrobe progress inspect prizes and the shop without confusing complete costumes with required piece counts. Combine collection with missing-orb visits, recording the exact unfinished object before leaving.
- Track Gerald, objects and costume pieces separately.
String it Together
The ultimate trial links Knitted Knight sequences. Practise them individually before seeking full-course gold, learning where rolling helps and where it risks a fall. Do not answer every mistake with a new technique; preserve a repeatable route and improve the segment breaking its rhythm. Subscriptions cannot replace this execution test.
- Practise segments before a full gold attempt.

Frequently asked questions
Must I play online?
No. Cooperative requirements can be tackled locally with a second controller.

No. String it Together is a separate Knitted Knight challenge requiring its gold result.
