The Walking Dead: Destinies PS4 and PS5 platinum guide

PS4 / PS5

Work through the five acts with an episode checklist. Much of the work involves actions the story does not require: stealth routes, specific weapons and damage-free encounters. Keep expeditions in two groups, because five successes and five failures take more than one ordinary sequence.

53 trophies in the PS4 and PS5 lists for The Walking Dead: Destinies. All objectives are in the campaign.

Difficulty: The trophy route is doable on Easy.
Expeditions: Five successes and five failures; an ordinary route has nine expeditions.
Structure: Five acts with trophies tied to specific episodes.

Open with the Act 1 trophies

In the hospital parking lot, crouch and wait for walkers to move off the route. In Listen Up, kill seven around the car, then find every skill point in GUTS before leaving. In Life Worth Living, count ten undetected stabs; if you are spotted, reload the checkpoint before continuing.

In Overrun, defend the trailer without letting its health drop to 30%.

Plan weapon use at the farm

Use the fire axe for ten decapitations in What Lies Ahead. At the Bloodletting gym, go upstairs for the sniper rifle and use headshots to reach fifteen kills. Before opening the barn, stock ammo and grenades and use distance: Rage requires that you take no damage.

For Better Angels, time both phases; restart the episode if you need another attempt.

Check each episode’s restrictions

In Walk With Me, use skill-point highlighting as the Governor leads you. In Hounded, keep your health up to avoid becoming broken. In When the Dead Come Knocking, use only firearms for kills. In The Suicide King’s pit, do the opposite kind of restriction and avoid dodging until you win.

Handle each challenge under its own rule rather than combining incompatible objectives.

Separate expedition wins from failures

Check the board at headquarters, send the survivor and answer their call during the episode. For the cabin expedition, keep Beth available by choosing Maggie at the earlier decision. Get five successes in your main campaign and use another start for the five failures if you cannot replay the fifth expedition through an episode restart.

Record the radio decision with the survivor’s name, not just the dispatch.

Finish Clear and This Sorrowful Life

In Clear, move between cover when Morgan’s aim indicator is not red. In This Sorrowful Life, set up an enemy for every method, including a stomp on a walker on the ground. Across the rest of the campaign, track executions with the bat, axe, crowbar, machete, sledgehammer and katana; ordinary hits do not replace executions.

For the grenade trophy, group at least five walkers before throwing.

Frequently asked questions

Do the choice trophies require every story branch?

No. The Destiny entries require making the specified choice. Some survivor decisions do change the expeditions you can start.

Can I recover a challenge after finishing its episode?

Do not count on it. Check each challenge before leaving and reload a checkpoint or restart the episode while still in it.

Do PS4 and PS5 share a platinum?

The native lists are separate. The route applies to the linked editions, but check the unlocks on the version you are playing.
