Brushes With Death: ten trophies and two incompatible endings

Curiosity Killed the Cat and resolving Libor's thread properly are mutually exclusive: one of the two is left out every run. Ten DLC trophies, none counts towards the platinum and eight are missable.

First: they do not count towards the platinum

The ten trophies in Brushes With Death are downloadable content and none counts towards the platinum. If the cup is all you want, you can skip this block entirely.

And it is worth knowing how to read the percentages before panicking. Painted sits at 7.03%, but that does not measure difficulty: it measures how many people bought the DLC. Downloadable-content trophies always come out low because the denominator includes every owner of the base game.

That said, eight of the ten are missable, and in a story DLC that means one thing: play it carefully or replay it.

Masterpiece — 9.68%. Finish the DLC. It is this block's ceiling: nobody can hold another DLC trophy without having reached here or nearly.

Painted — 7.03%. Get your shield painted. The official description — "but payment pending" — is a joke: Voyta paints it for free, as thanks after you help him with his first quest, in his workshop at Trosky Castle. Nothing to steal and no payment to dodge: do his quest and accept the gift.

Two trophies that do not fit in the same run

Curiosity Killed the Cat — 4.21%. Poke where you should not and bring about Libor's end.

Here is this DLC's most important warning: it is that thread's "bad" ending, so it is incompatible with resolving it well. One of the two is left out every run.

There is no way to have both in a single pass. If you are going for 100% of the DLC, plan two runs or accept that one of the two paths stays open.

And the same pattern, more gently, repeats in two others:

Empty Revenge — 4.54%. Spare Burkhard's life. It is among the DLC's rarest for the usual reason: the natural reaction is to kill him. The game has given you cause, and the trophy still asks you to hold back.

Pure Fun — 4.50%. Make Stihlau understand that some things are not to be joked about. Missable and hidden.

All three share the same nature: they are not failed by playing badly, they are failed by reacting the way anyone would. It is exactly the pattern of the base game's side quests, and the same solution: check before deciding, not after.

Careful

Curiosity Killed the Cat requires the bad ending of Libor's thread, which excludes the good one. The two do not fit in one run: decide which you want before starting the DLC.

The rest, and the one that costs the most work

Bohemian Graffiti — 4.18%. Paint shields of every available type in the painting minigame.

It is the DLC's heaviest work: no decision, no ending — you have to find every design and paint them one by one. It is the only one of the ten that does not hinge on a conversation.

Confession — 9.56%. Get the painter to tell you everything. Silver and missable: it depends on how you handle your conversations with him, so it is not one moment but an accumulation of right answers.

The Best of the Best — 5.79%. Give the painter the highest-quality medicine, not the first one you find. Missable: hand him a worse one and it is over. It is a silent failure, the kind you only notice much later.

All in One Piece — 5.80%. Take the skull to its final resting place. Silver and missable.

Poet's Guts — 10.40%. Complete the poet's thread. It is the DLC's second most common after Masterpiece, so it sits fairly close to the main route.

The advice that works for all ten: this DLC rewards patience in conversation and punishes haste in deliveries. If you are torn between two dialogue options, the one that sounds like extra effort is usually the trophy's.

Other Kingdom Come: Deliverance II guides

The 22 missable trophies in the Kingdom Come: Deliverance II platinum
Almost half the platinum hangs on decisions you only make once. Here is the full list and the point at which each one closes.
Lent: finishing Kingdom Come: Deliverance II without eating meat or killing animals
The rarest trophy in the base game, at 8.23%. It is not skill: it is not slipping up once in 100 hours.
The 35 DLC trophies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and why none of them counts
Five separate packs, 35 trophies and zero impact on the platinum. Among them, the two rarest in the whole game.
The hand cannon trophies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Four firearm trophies, all below 13%, and none of them is hard: it is just that almost nobody uses the thing.
Kingdom Come II's two points of no return and what dies at each one
The platinum asks for around 90% of the game, and two main quests permanently close their region's side content. Here are both, with the complete list of what has to be done first.
The six story trophies: two are missable and two out of three never finish
No campaign on this site has this many missable story trophies. Face to Face and A Bird in the Hand depend on how you resolve the scene, not on reaching it. And only 34.41% see the ending.
The seventeen side quests: twelve are missable and none warns you
Henry the Matchmaker asks for the ending nobody picks, and Talked My Way Out demands you end up sentenced to death with high Speech. Seventeen threads, which close as you progress and which have only one valid ending.
The seven combat feats: two need counting from the start
Offensive Versatility asks for nine different weapon types and Under Pressure fails if you bandage out of habit. Seven combat trophies, from 68.02% to 13.33%, and none depends on difficulty.
Dice, locks and 10,000 groschen: the ten tavern trophies
There is a trophy for spending 10,000 groschen and another for losing them, and the second is taken at the dice table on purpose. Ten minigame and competition trophies, including the two DLC ones that do not count towards the platinum.
The forge DLC: the game's rarest trophy depends on a randomly offered activity
Ragged's Dream sits at 4.19% and is the rarest trophy in the whole game, DLC included, because the activity that gives it is offered at random each day. Ten forge trophies and four below 4%.
Mysteria Ecclesiae: eight trophies, all missable, and one asks you to die in the most absurd way
Ostraconophobia asks you to let a crayfish kill you and sits at 3.09%. Eight trophies from the third DLC, none counts towards the platinum, and all eight are lost if you finish the content without them.
