PS4 / PS5
Terminator 2D: No Fate uses familiar movie scenes, but its platinum consists of distinct arcade challenges. Dyson branches, difficulty tiers, ranks and special modes do not collapse into one perfect campaign. Learn stages before adding restrictions, then separate score attempts from runs without killing dogs or being detected. This roadmap uses the actual December 12, 2025 PlayStation release rather than earlier delayed announcements.
PS4/PS5 base-game platinum roadmap; separate console trophy stacks are retained where available.
- Required difficulty: Hard, Very Hard and specific S-rank goals are required.
- Missable trophies: Challenges can be retried, but mistakes can invalidate the current run or stage.
- Online: The base list does not require online multiplayer.
Learn stages through Level Training
Use Level Training to learn enemy arrivals, cover and boss rhythm before connecting a long sequence of stages. Knowing when to stop and aim prevents damage and hurried jumps that break a chain. Higher difficulty is a poor place to learn a section you cannot yet clear consistently. Record weak points, rehearse them individually, then transfer the sequence to the mode awarding your chosen trophy.
- Rehearse difficult sections before restricted runs.
Complete every Dyson route
Record Spare Dyson, Sarah Kills Dyson and Terminator Kills Dyson separately. A different ending is not merely a scene to watch; complete the route named by the trophy. Check newly available branches and modes after each completion rather than blindly repeating the same decision. A three-choice record also helps assign difficulty attempts to familiar routes instead of learning every element simultaneously.
- Keep three separate Dyson-route completion entries.
Separate difficulty clears from S ranks
Complete Story Very Hard concerns difficulty, while Complete Story Hard S adds a rank to the Hard run. S Rank separately requires the grade on every stage, so inspect individual stage results rather than only the campaign’s final rating. Improve chains through a repeatable enemy order and avoid interrupting a prepared score attempt to search for a secret. Give collectible cleanup a separate visit when necessary.
- Check run results and individual stage grades.
Isolate scene-specific restrictions
Prepare the hospital’s stealth sequence before Stealth Ninja and inspect doors needed for Master of Unlocking. The desert challenge restricts you to aimed shots, while the no-dog-kills campaign needs attention throughout the route. Avoid assuming damage avoidance is the only condition; an incorrectly eliminated enemy may already violate a restriction. Pursue one restrictive objective at a time until you understand which goals are compatible.
- Read the scene’s restriction before firing.
Finish special modes and secrets
Boss Rush has both a clear and a no-pipebomb condition. Learn encounters first, then prepare the restricted attempt. Infinite Mode asks for its kill target, while Arcade requires a sub-fifteen-minute clear. Mother of the Future must be completed as its own mode rather than replaced by a story victory. Finally audit hidden rifles, Skynet Continues and Truck Chase pickups, noting which belong to a single stage sequence.
- Do not substitute a Story clear for Arcade or Mother of the Future.

Frequently asked questions
Does a Very Hard clear award everything?
No. S ranks and modes have separate conditions. Check stage results and the requested challenge rather than assuming difficulty replaces every other goal.
Are the Dyson conclusions alternatives?
Yes, but the platinum needs all listed routes. Record completed conclusions before beginning another attempt.
Can pipebombs be used in Boss Rush?
An ordinary clear does not impose that restriction, but No Pipebombs does. Plan a dedicated attempt rather than relying only on defeating every boss.
