This is where the platinum is decided

No fight decides the Dying Light: The Beast platinum: what decides it is walking Castor Woods looking for things. There are five trophies, and the fifth — Cabinet of Curiosities — asks you to find absolutely everything.

The percentages make it obvious: all five sit between 17.44% and 19.33%, with the platinum at 15.98%. They move together, which means whoever finishes the collectibles platinums, and whoever does not, does not.

The five trophies

Ordered by how common each one is.

Trophy	What to look for	Who has it
Know What 'Castor' Means?	All the Castor Woods Beavers	19.33%
What Happened at the Asylum	All the St. Valentine Asylum secrets	19.12%
Family Picture	All the Fischer family newspaper clippings	18.44%
And Don't Forget to Wash Your Hands	All the podcast recordings	18.40%
Cabinet of Curiosities	Every collectible in the game	17.44%

Our recommendation

Pick them up as you open up areas, not at the end. The world never closes and nothing is missable, but sweeping the whole of Castor Woods again once the story is over is dead time.

Along the way you also solve Crane on a Monument and Sunday Morning Run, which are about moving around the map, and you make progress on And Then There Was Light and We're Safe Here!, which ask you to activate every transformer station and every safe zone.

The seven missions and the two trees: exactly half finish the story

Spoilers from the Future sits at 50.01%: exactly half of those who start see the ending. The seven story missions and the four progression trophies, including the one that separates platinum hunters.

The power stations do not appear on the map until you finish the wiring quest, and Travis's races do not exist unless you do the side quest that opens them. Five world trophies and their prerequisites.

The Volatiles, the 666 and the revolver: the seven combat feats

Gunslinger asks for six headshots in twenty seconds and there is a spot on the map where they come easily. Seven combat trophies, three counters and the warning about Volatiles.
