PS4 / PS5
Scott Pilgrim EX combines collections, character endings and clears with specific restrictions. Platinum does not require the highest difficulty, but you should separate objectives built around a consistent character from those rewarding character changes. Update before starting because some launch-version reports no longer describe current behaviour. This roadmap covers PS4 and PS5 without promising automatic trophy transfers between their lists.
Base-game platinum roadmap covering priority objectives, cleanup and verified requirements.
- Difficulty: Challenges can be attempted on the lowest difficulty.
- Missable trophies: Endings, Tag Team and run-wide restrictions need separate planning.
- Online: Multiplayer actions are required; local co-op is available.
Prepare characters and resources
Use the first playthrough to explore Toronto, learn assists and reveal shop-item effects. Proficiency needs a maximum attribute, whereas Full Loadout checks equipped accessories and badges: ownership and equipment are different conditions. Record events and hidden shops you encounter. Do not immediately turn exploration into a speedrun; learning connections and resources makes later restricted clears much more reliable.
- Check attributes, assists, accessories and badges separately.
Secure all seven endings
Grand Finale concerns the seven base characters. A run’s ending depends on who completed the most quests, so changing fighters only at the final boss is not a safe strategy. Check the quest record and devote progression to the character whose ending you want. Additional characters do not replace the seven required ones. Record each confirmed ending before moving on instead of assigning completion to whoever happened to be present in the last scene.
- Confirm the character with the most quests and record the resulting ending.
Dedicate a route to character switching
Tag Team requires seven bosses beaten with seven different characters within the same playthrough. This differs from the seven endings and cannot be assembled from separate saves. Prepare a boss-to-character table and update it after every victory. Keep ending-focused progression consistent so this rotation does not unexpectedly change the dominant character in a run intended for another objective. The record also prevents accidentally reusing a fighter.
- Assign a different character to each of the seven bosses in advance.
Separate no-KO and speedrun clears
For 1CC, prepare a run focused on avoiding every KO, preserving healing and choosing manageable fights. The ninety-minute clear instead needs a fast route: do not confuse an advanced save with an attempt begun under the correct conditions. Tackle the restriction you understand best first and check when its counter becomes valid. Area and final-boss no-hit objectives deserve dedicated attempts rather than jeopardising a complete run by forcing them too early.
- Check starting conditions, healing and timer before a challenge run.
Finish co-op and collections
Friendship! needs a multiplayer quest using only Lucas and Gideon, while Need a Lift? requires traversing an area on another player. Arrange local co-op with the necessary controls instead of assuming an assist counts as a player. For badges and accessories, check ownership in your own progression: seeing a teammate wear an item does not mean you own it. If a trophy reported broken at launch fails to unlock, first inspect the installed patch and current requirement.
- Confirm actual co-op participation and personal badge and accessory ownership.

Frequently asked questions
Must I play on the highest difficulty?
No. The lowest difficulty can be used for trophies, while specific time, KO and performance conditions still apply.
Does switching at the final boss guarantee that character’s ending?
No. Check who completed the most quests in the run; presence in the concluding battle is not a guarantee.
Is online play mandatory?
The multiplayer actions can be arranged through local co-op. Still check the characters and controls needed for each requirement.
