Platinum

Missable

No

Unlocked by

10.16% of players

Only 10.16% of players have it, and it is by far the hardest platinum we have covered. Two reasons: the three Grand Mother Silk endings lock each other out inside a single playthrough, so you need at least two runs, and on top of that there are the two timed trophies.

«Acquire your first Tool» · Equipped

Pick up your first Tool. It drops in the first couple of hours without you looking for it: 99.90% have it.

Silk Skills are the attacks that spend Hornet's thread, and you have to bind them to use them: finding one isn't enough. The first you'll cross is the Silk Spear, right at the start of the route.

97.7% have it, the most common achievement in the game. Binding them all is a separate silver.

Missable

No

Unlocked by

92.73% of players

Wishes are the requests Pharloom's characters make: the equivalent of side quests. Completing any one is enough.

92.73% have it. Worth engaging with the system early, because five of the group's six achievements want specific wishes — Nuu's, the Herald's — and one of those is among the game's most demanding.

Category

Missable

No

No

Unlocked by

96.24% of players

It's the game's first big boss and appears early on the route. 96.24% have it: practically everyone who starts the game beats it.

Of the game's seven bosses with their own achievement, this is the most accessible. The curve climbs very fast afterwards.

«Defeat Lace in the Cradle» · White Knight

Defeat Lace in the Cradle.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

55.55% of players

Watch out, because Lace is fought twice and each fight is a separate achievement: the first in the Deep Docks and this one, the second, in the Cradle. They're distinct battles and neither replaces the other.

55.55% have it, almost half the first encounter's figure. The gap between the two numbers is precisely how much harder the second one is.

«Defeat Grand Mother Silk and bind her power» · Weaver Queen

Defeat Grand Mother Silk and bind her power.

Category

Missable

Yes

Unlocked by

49.00% of players

Pay attention here, because this is the key to the platinum: this trophy, Snared Silk and Twisted Child are three different endings to the same fight and cannot be earned in the same playthrough. Hidden and missable.

Defeat Grand Mother Silk and trap her with the Soul Snare.

Category

Missable

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

18.36% of players

At 18.36% it is one of the rare trophies in the base game: it means taking Nuu's hunt all the way to the end, which is long and easy to leave half-finished.

«Bind Eva» · Entwined

Bind Eva.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

33.22% of players

It isn't a silk-skill binding: it's a late-content objective, which is why it's worth 30 gamerscore, double most silver achievements.

33.22% have it. It belongs to the set of things done outside the timed runs: the platinum wants one speed run and one 100% run against the clock, and this waits until you're no longer in a hurry.

«Learn the Citadel’s Threefold song» · Harmonious

Learn the Citadel's Threefold song.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

57.64% of players

It's one of the pieces of knowledge the Citadel hides, and it isn't on the main route: you have to go looking.

«Claim the Everbloom from within a distant memory» · Remembrance

Claim the Everbloom from within a distant memory.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

38.76% of players

It isn't out in the world: you get it inside a memory, in a sequence off the normal route.

38.76% have it, one of the rarest in the game. Like Entwined, it's content for the untimed run: hunting it while chasing the five-hour clock throws the run away.

«Grant the Herald’s wish and finish the game» · Passing of the Age

Grant the Herald's wish and finish the game. Hidden trophy, and at 25.53% it is already one of the hard ones: it is an ending you have to go looking for.

Category

Missable

Yes

Unlocked by

12.09% of players

This is the trophy that sets the difficulty of the platinum: you need to know the route, skip everything optional and not slip up. 12.09% have it. The normal approach is to give it a whole separate playthrough.

Reach 100% completion and finish the game in under 30 hours.

Category

Missable

Yes

Unlocked by

10.70% of players

At 10.70% it is the rarest trophy in Silksong, and it sits practically on top of the platinum: whoever gets it already has everything else. It combines the worst of both worlds: sweeping the whole of Pharloom and doing it with the clock running.
