PS4 / PS5
The platinum revolves around Van’s free time, Law, Gray and Chaos, and the achievement notebook. Use the first playthrough to cover each chapter methodically. Carry your progress into New Game+ and use the renewed events to max the connections and alignments you still need.
Van Arkride’s first adventure, the 2024 Western PS4 and PS5 release. The linked sets have matching requirements.
- Base lists: 53 trophies in each native list.
- Playthroughs: Plan a second playthrough in New Game+.
- Difficulty: One Nightmare clear is required.
- Missables: 4SPG requests, events, notebook entries and time-limited activities.
Sweep the city before each story advance
When a day opens new 4SPG requests, clear the available ones before choosing the next story destination. Read the boards, check shops for books or recipes, and track Topics and gifts. During jobs check decisions that award extra points, and look for chests along routes the party will not be able to revisit.
- Before moving areas, check the agency score and notebook entries.
Plan connections, films and baths
Spend free time on people who are not at maximum level yet. Match gifts and conversations to their recipients, and note meetings to catch on the second pass. For Solitary Spa Fanatic visit Edith’s sauna in each available chapter, and use the Tharbad hammam and Longlai hot springs outside story scenes.
- Mark the films you watched and try town activities before leaving.
Prepare the Chapter 5 alliances
Requests award points to the three alignments, and major choices affect who answers the call in Chapter 5. Aim for level 3 in all three before the decision to open all four options. Keep the earlier save, finish the chapter with one group, and reload that point for the other alliance trophies.
- Finish the chapter with each group; choosing and immediately reloading does not count.
Fill the notebook while fighting
Fight different enemies in story areas and verify the entries before moving to a new dungeon. Use easy encounters for SCLM actions, S-Crafts and Shard attacks. Check Arts Drivers and Holo Cores before spending materials: collection and enhancement goals are tracked on different screens.
- Claim achievements and compare the 4SPG notebook with the trophy list.
Use New Game+ to finish achievements and Nightmare
Create a clear save and select item, achievement and notebook carryover to retain connections and alignments. If Bear the Nightmare is still locked, start this playthrough on Nightmare. Finish the remaining connections and raise Law, Gray and Chaos to level 5. Working Overtime follows the in-game notebook excluding EX achievements: use it to find the last counters.
- Keep a slot with the first playthrough’s clear save.

Frequently asked questions
How many runs should I plan?
Two. Carry notes, achievements and connections into New Game+; some thresholds cannot be completed in the first playthrough.
Are EX achievements required?
No. Working Overtime needs the regular achievements. Use the notebook to identify any that are not yet completed.
Do PS4 and PS5 share one list?
The verified requirements match, but the lists are separate. Check the installed version as you mark unlocks.
