Tales from the Borderlands

Tales from the Borderlands platinum guide for PS3 and PS4

Tales from the Borderlands

PS3 / PS4

Rhys and Fiona recount the same adventure from different perspectives. Follow all five episodes: no trophy asks you to buy a mask, keep a sum of money or side with a character. If a chapter stalls, look for the interaction that advances the scene and continue from your active save.

Telltale’s original PS3 and PS4 series. The two archived lists match at 36 trophies. The 2021 digital PS4 rerelease contains all five episodes and runs on PS5 through backwards compatibility.

  • Trophies: 36 including the platinum.
  • Missable trophies: None: all trophies are tied to chapters and episode endings.
  • PS5 edition: It uses the PS4 release, not a native PS5 list.

Zer0 Sum: follow each perspective

On Pandora, make Rhys’s and Fiona’s decisions without looking for a mandatory combination. In the Loader Bot sequence, use whichever weapon setup you prefer. Follow the prompts to advance the fight. The same applies to Fiona’s money: keep it or spend it as you prefer, since purchases do not unlock trophies.

  • Wait for Devil on Your Shoulder after Blood Money: the chapter trophy is separate from the episode trophy.

Atlas Mugged: get past the terminal check

Collect the core pieces before using the terminal by Vaughn. If the scanner rejects Rhys, inspect the cabinet and tray to open the puzzle interactions. Get what lets you pass the retinal check, then return to the terminal. Choices with Jack change the story rather than the episode award.

  • Check that Atlas Mugged is marked complete before starting Catch a Ride.

Catch a Ride: find evidence in the room

When the team can explore the Atlas room, look at the clothes, map or fruit. They are useful evidence when a character tries to explain why he is there. Try speaking to Gortys to continue the scene. After presenting a clue, follow the route and complete the action sequence that ends the chapter.

  • Finish the episode even if a conversation goes differently from what you expected.

Escape Plan Bravo: follow the infiltration

During preparations for Helios, check the interactive objects and characters before moving to departure. Follow the prompts through the infiltration’s action sequences; perfection is not required. If a mistake sends you to a checkpoint, continue from there and wait for the two separate awards for the last chapter and the episode ending.

  • Look for No Matter Where You Go… and …There You Are in the list.

The Vault of the Traveler: finish Episode 5

Choose the final team from the available characters. Do not restart to unlock a recruit blocked by a prior decision: the platinum does not require a particular line-up. Complete the action against the Traveler and let Rhys and Fiona’s conclusion play. If the platinum is missing, compare the seven trophies from each episode and identify the first incomplete block.

  • Verify Tales Twice Told and the original series’ platinum.

Frequently asked questions

Do choices change the trophies?

They change scenes and available characters, but not the story trophies. One playthrough of the season is enough.

Does the PS4 version sold today contain all episodes?

2K’s 2021 digital rerelease bundles all five episodes. On PS3, check the episodes available on your copy or already in your library.

Is this the New Tales from the Borderlands guide?

No. This is Telltale’s original series with Rhys and Fiona. New Tales from the Borderlands is a separate game with different lists.
