Guerranera and the Trophy Hunters
PS4 / PS5
Tails of Iron 2 connects its platinum to settlement development and the activities encountered during Arlo’s journey. Story completion does not award every medal automatically: regional hunts, cooking, tarot cards and small favours have separate conditions. Fairy Tail difficulty is valid for the route, letting you focus on resource planning rather than imposing a challenge not required by the base list. Combine useful side activities with the campaign and leave targeted cleanup for the end.
PS4/PS5 base-game platinum roadmap; separate console trophy stacks are retained where available.
- Required difficulty: Fairy Tail mode supports the base-list trophies.
- Missable trophies: Activities can be cleaned up; no secondary-quest-free run is required.
- Online: The base platinum does not require multiplayer.
Choose a sustainable pace for Arlo
Select Fairy Tail if the platinum is your priority and spend time understanding enemy signals and resistances. Learning when to parry, dodge or switch elements improves consistency even on a forgiving setting. After major progress, inspect newly available jobs rather than immediately leaving the region with unclaimed rewards. Story medals follow progression, while activity medals need their own checks.
- Inspect the journal before leaving each region.
Finish the four regional hunt sets
Outskirts, Golden Forest, Rift and White Whiskers hunts belong to different quest givers. Keep four entries and check jobs unlocked by further story progress. Defeating a creature while exploring is not a substitute for confirming the relevant hunt’s completion. The trophy requires finishing the named character’s hunt set. Prepare equipment and resistances for each target before leaving to avoid an unnecessary return.
- Separate the Farm Elder, Sigrid, Short Tongue and Gray Ears hunts.
Raise settlement buildings to level three
Builder, Smith, Chef and Shop each have their own maximum-level medal. Compare an optional purchase with the next needed building upgrade before spending resources. Advanced crafting then enables the level-three weapon and cuirass goals. Check the item category before crafting: upgrading a structure is not the same as crafting from the required section, and one item does not satisfy both equipment categories.
- Verify the building, crafting section and item type.
Collect tarot cards and return personal items
Treat tarot cards as a collection to deliver to Merlin, not merely hold in inventory. Alongside it, record Maggi’s spectacles, Ernest’s fishing pole and the meal for the bunker’s occupants. Finding an item may precede its delivery, so return to the correct recipient and verify the medal instead of assuming pickup alone completes the task. Note area and recipient to avoid searching again for an item already found.
- Mark favours complete only after delivery.
Finish cooking, the tournament and enemy counters
Full Belly requires every Chef meal, so review unprepared dishes when new ingredients arrive. Complete the Crimson Keep tournament and track enemy families requiring twenty-five defeats. If a medal remains, return to the relevant region rather than repeatedly fighting a creature belonging to another counter. The final audit should include buildings and favours too, since defeating the final boss does not fill skipped activity entries.
- Match remaining counters to the correct enemy family.

Frequently asked questions
Is high difficulty required?
No. Fairy Tail supports the base list. A self-selected challenge should not be confused with a platinum requirement.
Is finding every tarot card enough?
The description also asks for delivery to Merlin. Return to the hut after finding the final card and verify collection completion.
Does a level-three weapon count as a cuirass?
No. These are separate trophies. Inspect the Smithy section and craft the item category named by each medal.
