PS5
Saros rewards growth between cycles: losing an attempt does not erase the entire platinum route. Priorities include permanent systems, multiple weapon types and epilogue conditions. Some trophies, however, require a single clean performance or a specific weapon; prepare dedicated attempts rather than wait for chance. This roadmap separates lasting progression, cumulative counters and one-run challenges.
PS5 base-game trophy roadmap. Additional trophy groups are not required for the platinum.
- Required difficulty: No alternative difficulty is required; Carcosan Modifiers are trophy-compatible.
- Missable trophies: Areas can be replayed; some challenges have single-run conditions.
- Online: Offline single-player route.
Invest between attempts
After a death, review permanent improvements before restarting. A short cycle may still have produced useful resources. Choose an investment addressing the actual problem: survivability when dying too early, offensive tools when prolonged encounters expose you to more mistakes.
- Review permanent upgrades on every hub return.
Track modified expeditions too
After unlocking Carcosan Modifiers, read both the selected effect and expedition-completion condition. Activating a modifier and surviving a run are different steps. Assistance does not replace learning attack cues, but can make counter cleanup more manageable.
- Verify counted expeditions finished with modifiers active.
Switch weapons with a specific objective
Full Arsenal and individual weapon-family challenges require more than picking a weapon up. Track kills and then prepare its special condition: accuracy, simultaneous targets or damage in a short window. Once a condition is complete, change priorities rather than continue accumulating with the same weapon.
- Track weapons with completed kills and those still missing their special challenge.
Dedicate a run to clean-performance challenges
Untouchable is not merely finishing an area with plenty of health; its condition involves direct damage and Adrenaline. Choose a familiar biome and reduce side objectives during the attempt. The no-Shield challenge is separate, so do not assume one successful run satisfies both.
- Review damage, Adrenaline and Shield conditions before a dedicated attempt.
Check the epilogue after the credits
The first final victory does not automatically complete Let Go. Follow the new hub objective and check epilogue conditions before fighting the boss again. Use this phase for remaining Nightmare Gates and required collection without assuming every object in the world is mandatory.
- Compare epilogue objectives before the final boss replay.

Frequently asked questions
Does dying erase all trophy progress?
No. Distinguish lasting progression and cumulative counters from conditions that must succeed within one run.
Do modifiers block trophies?
The consulted route treats them as compatible, and a trophy requires modified expeditions. Check the chosen effect before deploying.
Is defeating the last boss once enough?
No. Check Let Go and epilogue progression; the list distinguishes the main story from the subsequent conditions.
