PS5
Proud Nordics requires an epilogue on Nightmare or higher and a carefully maintained journal across Obelia Gulf. Do the most important prep before leaving each chapter: clear timed quests, recruit crew and check new entries. Add Öland from chapter five onwards for this edition's exclusive trophy.
Western Proud Nordics edition on PS5. Its list includes Öland's EX scenario and is separate from Ys X: Nordics.
- Difficulty: Reach the epilogue on Nightmare or higher
- Missables: Timed quests and People entries need chapter checks
- Online: No online trophies
Choose Nightmare and learn the Duo rhythm
For Night-Mariner on this run, start on Nightmare or higher and keep it there. Alternate Adol and Karja in Solo and use Duo guard when the enemy attacks. Use early battles to distinguish perfect guards from dodging speed attacks: they have separate counters. Keep a save before chapter transitions.
- Check for Night-Mariner when you reach the epilogue.
Check quests and crew before sailing onward
Prioritize quests marked with short deadlines: begin with Getting Shipshape in chapter three. At each new phase read the journal, talk to the Sandras crew and give appropriate gifts when you find them. Affinity and People profiles are separate checks. An end-of-chapter conversation may add an entry that affinity alone does not cover.
- Finish short-deadline quests before confirming the next story departure.
Explore Obelia Gulf with the journal open
Alternate main quests with landings. At each accessible island, check chests, locations and monsters, then log fishing catches and sea encounters on the voyage. When you gain a new Mana action, revisit blocked paths. Compare overall discovery with individual logs: fishing, runes, recipes and battle records each have trophies.
- Mark islands with blocked paths and return after the relevant Mana upgrade.
Return to Öland to finish the EX scenario
First land on Öland from chapter five and follow Canute and Astrid. The island's quests open with story progress, so return when they update rather than looking for every route on the first visit. For the Proud list's trophy, finish the scenario through Yule the Snowfrost Witch. Muspelheim is a separate challenge and does not replace that ending.
- Check The Öland Island Affair after defeating Yule.
Recaptures, Sandras refits and a final Carnac visit
Before the final area, check unfinished Recaptures, an S rank in at least one, and the required ship refits. The refit trophy excludes EX proposals. In the epilogue, talk to the people of Carnac before following Rafe south of town: some entries finish here. Keep the cleared save and compare any remaining entries.
- Check People and Affinity as separate objectives.

Frequently asked questions
Does Proud Nordics have a different platinum?
Yes. Its PS5 list includes a trophy for finishing the Öland scenario. Check the installed title before using an island route.
Can I finish every quest after the ending?
Do not assume every quest is recoverable. Deadlines vary, and the crew journal includes conversations tied to story progression. Keep chapter saves.
Is Muspelheim required for the Öland trophy?
The requirement asks you to defeat Yule and complete the EX scenario. Muspelheim is a timed dungeon unlocked later and does not replace that fight.
