PS4 / PS5
For Daybreak II’s platinum, treat each day as a checklist before the main objective: 4SPG requests, SP, optional encounters and Connect events. Use clear data for Nightmare and for finishing connections and alignments. Märchen Garten has its own progression and gives you another place to work on several notebook objectives.
Western PS4 and PS5 edition. Story and Märchen Garten trophies are part of the base list.
- Difficulty: Complete the entire story on Nightmare for Bear the Nightmare.
- Missables: Finish day-specific activities before moving the story forward.
- Online: No online matches required.
Check 4SPG boards on both routes
Acts split into A and B routes. Keep separate saves at the start of each day and check the request boards before following the next event. Finish investigations by following up with the relevant people and aim for bonus SP objectives. In Marche Center, for instance, one request starts with shopkeeper Kenny and sends you to interview residents before confronting Dunne.
- Check requests and bonus SP before changing acts.
Fill the notebook as you explore
Audit notebook sections after each dungeon: an enemy variant may be on an optional route. Check locked chests and hacking trials when available. Keep a note of fishing spots and films you have not seen. Checking the non-EX entries helps distinguish platinum requirements from extra completion.
- Audit non-EX entries after larger areas.
Clear Märchen Garten’s ninth floor
Return to the Garten as new floors open. Develop your team and pick up dungeon rewards, collecting shards to exchange for useful supplies. Garden Hero checks the ninth-floor boss. After the ending, clear data opens more Garten floors. Use them for leftover activities while checking which notebook objectives are EX.
- Beat the ninth-floor boss.
Plan LGC decisions and free time
Track which of Law, Gray and Chaos is lagging. Quest choices affect each value differently; favor the one you still need on the second run. For connections, spend Connect events on characters who are not maxed yet and use invitations during Fragments and Finale. Import progress from your clear data.
- Check all three LGC bars before the ending.
Finish Nightmare without changing difficulty
Create a separate New Game+ file and carry over your bonuses. Set Nightmare at the start and keep it for the whole campaign. With your team and orbments ready, spend the second run on remaining connections and LGC choices. Before the last fight, compare the in-game achievements against Nose to the Grindstone.
- Keep Nightmare set for the entire second campaign.

Frequently asked questions
Does one maxed alignment count for True Neutral?
No. Law, Gray and Chaos must all be at the maximum on the same progression path. Carry your save into a second run to fill the gaps.
Do I need the EX objectives?
Nose to the Grindstone and the battle notebook trophy exclude EX entries. Check each trophy description to distinguish extras.
Do I need the first Trails through Daybreak?
It provides story context but has a separate list. This roadmap covers Daybreak II’s activities and trophies.
