Saros trophies and achievements
Saros has 54 trophies, but the platinum closes at 44: the nine Photo Mode ones were added in June and sit apart. 7.3% of players have it, and it is a far more attainable platinum than Returnal’s: no collectibles depend on luck, there are no difficulty settings and nothing is missable.
There is a single wall: Untouchable, completing a biome without taking direct damage, held by 8.9%. Right below it, Fall From Grace (8.4%) and OverDriven (9.0%) are trophies of ingenuity, not skill.
And one decision changes the game: from the second biome you can enable unlimited protection modifiers in the settings, and no trophy gets blocked. Between 20 and 25 hours.

Where to start
- Defeat the first two Overlords: that unlocks the Carcosan Modifiers, which from then on are worth keeping active at all times for the 33 expeditions. Eight Overlords, three acts and a true ending you lose by finishing off the King →
- Save Untouchable and Vincible for last and do them in the Shattered Descent: the shortest biome and the only single-bar Overlord. The Shattered Descent solves the five biome challenges and the 33 expeditions: a single-bar boss →

Common questions about Saros trophies
Is the Saros platinum hard?
Less than Returnal’s. We score it 4 out of 10, and with the unlimited protections in the settings — which block no trophy — it drops to a 3.
No luck-based collectibles, no difficulty settings, no missables. The only trophy demanding execution is Untouchable, a biome without direct damage, and it is done in the shortest biome with the single-bar Overlord.
Are the Photo Mode trophies needed for the platinum?
No. The nine Carcosan Surveyor trophies arrived with update 1.005.001 in June 2026 as a separate pack, and the platinum remains the original 44 trophies.
They are needed for 100%. They cost about ten biome runs if you know what to frame, and you do not need to save the picture: focusing on the element in Photo Mode is enough.
Which is the hardest trophy and where do you do it?
Untouchable, completing a biome without taking direct damage or losing Adrenaline: 8.9% have it. It is done at the end, with a complete Armor Matrix, in the Shattered Descent: no sidetracking required and Rhabdom has a single bar.
The safety net: reach the room before the boss, close the game and upload the save to PS Plus cloud. If you get hit, download it and repeat only the boss.
