After the credits you return to The Passage with the objective "Face Tomorrow", which sends you to specific rooms in several biomes — one of them is the fourth Banyan Tree entry. Once they are done, it is back to the Yellow Shore to drop the King again.

What decides the trophy: when his third bar runs out and he collapses, do not walk up to finish him. Go through the gate while he is on the ground: that gives the true ending and the trophy.

«Complete Act 1.» · Never Let Go

Complete Act 1. It pops when you defeat the fifth Overlord, Architect, and return to The Passage. 42.6% have it, exactly the same as Architect's trophy: nobody stops between one and the other.

It is not the end of the platinum: the credits open the Epilogue, and Let Go asks you to drop the King again and go through the gate without finishing him. Every biome stays open to clean up whatever is left.

«Enter the Banyan Tree for the first time.» · Strange Is The Night

Enter the Banyan Tree for the first time. 53.1% have it.

Category

No

Unlocked by

53.10% of players

The Banyan Tree is in The Passage, upstairs, where you talk to Sebastian. It opens after you defeat the second Overlord, Bastion: on your return a yellow portal appears. There is no combat inside: it is a short walking-and-interacting sequence. It is the first of the four encounters Shattered Glass asks for.

«Complete every encounter inside the Banyan Tree.» · Shattered Glass

Complete every encounter inside the Banyan Tree. 29.5% have it.

Category

No

Unlocked by

29.50% of players

There are four, and the tree only opens at specific moments: after defeating Bastion (second boss), after Legion (fourth), after Shepherd (sixth) and when heading to the Cathedral as part of the Epilogue quest. If you pass through The Passage without going up, the entrance is still there later: it is not lost, but the fourth does not exist until the Epilogue, so this trophy always comes after the credits.

«Enter and complete all 7 Nightmare Gates at least once.» · Nightmare Strands

Enter and complete all 7 Nightmare Gates at least once. 18.9% have it, the game's other gold.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

18.90% of players

The first seven biomes each have a Nightmare Gate that spawns every cycle; on the map it is an exclamation mark inside a skull. Some require the Grapple, obtained at the start of the Shattered Descent. They are high-risk areas: several rooms of enemies with modifiers against you, such as increased enemy damage.

The reward is worth it: clearing one restores your Second Chance if you had spent it, and gives Integrity Augments, Power Augments and Halcyon.

«Use the Carcosan Modifiers to embark upon and survive 33 expeditions.» · Carcosan Cartographer

Survive 33 expeditions with Carcosan Modifiers active. 10.7% have it, the lowest of the base game after Untouchable and OverDriven.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

10.70% of players

An expedition is a full biome: every biome you finish with at least one modifier enabled at Primary counts, from the moment they unlock after Bastion. That is why it pays to always keep one on from the second biome: across the whole story and the Epilogue quite a few pile up.

If you are short at the end, the Shattered Descent is the biome to farm: rush past enemies, kill Rhabdom — a single bar — and leave by the teleporter. About four minutes per expedition.

«Collect 20 Integrity Augments.» · Reinforced Carapace

Collect 20 Integrity Augments. 30.3% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

30.30% of players

They are the green-yellow pickups that permanently raise your Integrity — your health. They appear in fixed rooms in every biome, on the main path, so no luck is involved; Nightmare Gates also reward them. There are more than 20: just always pick them up.

«Collect 70 Halcyon.» · Eclipse’s Gift

Collect 70 Halcyon. 34.6% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

34.60% of players

Halcyon is the purple resource that upgrades the Armor Matrix. It has no fixed locations: it comes from red chests, where you can only take one of the two rewards, so always choose Halcyon. It also appears in side areas, at the end of Nightmare Gates and, only in the Yellow Shore, drops from enemies.

There is far more than 70. The cap per biome: Shattered Rise 8, Ancient Depths 12, Shattered Descent 12, Blighted Marsh 20, Desecrated Fortress 25, Acolyte's Haven 35, Cathedral 50.

«Encounter and defeat 10 Alpha hostiles.» · Carcosan Conqueror

Encounter and defeat 10 Alpha hostiles. 38.6% have it.

Category

38.60% of players

Alphas are stronger variants of regular enemies and start appearing from the Shattered Descent, the third biome. On the map they carry a crown symbol, a smaller version of the Overlord icon. Kill them whenever you see them and the trophy falls on the way to the 33 expeditions. The same Alphas later serve the last Photo Mode trophy.

«Collect 20 Halcyon in the Yellow Shore.» · Never Enough

Collect 20 Halcyon in the Yellow Shore. 23.4% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

23.40% of players

The Yellow Shore is the final biome and the only one where Halcyon drops from enemies, on top of side areas and red chests. The counter accumulates across cycles, so it need not be done in one go: play the biome a few times killing everything and checking the chests. It is a hidden trophy: it does not show on the list until you get there.

«Unlock all Main and Power Weapons, and defeat 25 hostiles with each.» · Full Arsenal

Unlock all Main and Power Weapons, and defeat 25 hostiles with each. 11.1% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

11.10% of players

That is 15 Main Weapons and 4 Power Weapons: 475 kills. The trophy has a tracker on the list, but the game does not show kills per weapon, so the rule is simple: whenever you find a new weapon, keep it until 25. If unsure which is missing, use one and check whether the trophy progress rises; if it does not, that one is done. The full weapon list is under Tutorials, Main Weapons and Power Weapons.

«Unlock and utilize all Traits and Variants of a Weapon.» · Soltari R&D

Unlock and utilize all Traits and Variants of a Weapon. 36.6% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

36.60% of players

Each weapon class has 3 variants — Handcannons, for instance, are Eruptor, Ricochet and Marksman — and 12 possible traits, the effects listed on the weapon. For it to count you only need to pick up the weapon and fire it: no kills required, but you must actually shoot. That is why the right habit is to pick up and fire every weapon you find even if you will not keep it.

«Damage 7 hostiles within 5 seconds with Handcannons.» · Enforcer

Damage 7 hostiles within 5 seconds with Handcannons. 65.4% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

65.40% of players

Handcannons are available from the start. The best target is the Vessels, the floating tentacled enemies that spawn in packs, or any arena fight where a heap of enemies appears at once.

«Land 50 consecutive shots on hostiles with Rifles.» · Relentless

Land 50 consecutive shots on hostiles with Rifles. 79.5% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

79.50% of players

Rifles appear from the Shattered Rise onwards and have autohit: bullets home in on nearby enemies. You only have to stop shooting once the target is dead. Against any large enemy it comes naturally.

«Land 7 consecutive Shotgun blasts with 100% pellet accuracy.» · Spread The Cost

Land 7 consecutive Shotgun blasts with 100% pellet accuracy. 12.1% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

12.10% of players

Shotguns appear from the Ancient Depths onwards. For every pellet to connect you have to fire right up against the enemy, and the ideal target is a large, tough one like the Osteomaw: get as close as you physically can and shoot seven times in a row. So few have it because almost nobody tries it point-blank.

«Use Chakrams to damage 4 hostiles within 2 seconds.» · Vicious Circle

Use Chakrams to damage 4 hostiles within 2 seconds. 36.5% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

36.50% of players

Chakrams appear from Acolyte's Haven onwards. The easy way is a Chakram with the Split on Hit trait, which splits the disc into several on impact and reaches multiple enemies at once. In any area with plenty of enemies it comes naturally with that trait.

«Hit 3 hostiles at once with Crossbows.» · All Shall Bow

Hit 3 hostiles at once with Crossbows. 49.5% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

49.50% of players

Crossbows appear from the Blighted Marsh onwards. The trick is the Repeater Crossbow's alt fire, which penetrates enemies: in any room with grouped enemies, fire it when they line up.

«Defeat 5 hostiles with a single Prominence blast.» · Broadside

Defeat 5 hostiles with a single Prominence blast. 51.8% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

51.80% of players

Prominence is the first Power Weapon, from the Shattered Rise: a blast with a large area of effect. The best spot is a pack of Vessels, the floating tentacled enemies: fire into the middle of the group.

«Damage 5 hostiles simultaneously with Dispiritor projectiles.» · Atrophy

Damage 5 hostiles simultaneously with Dispiritor projectiles. 57.2% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

57.20% of players

The Dispiritor is the second Power Weapon, from the Ancient Depths: it fires rapidly and, when you release the trigger, leaves vortexes where you shot that keep dealing damage. Spray a large group and let go so the vortexes reach them all.

«Defeat a hostile using a ricochet Nova Lance slug.» · Angle Of Attack

Defeat a hostile using a ricochet Nova Lance slug. 43.0% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

43.00% of players

The Nova Lance is the third Power Weapon, from the Desecrated Fortress: its lances pierce enemies and ricochet off walls. Aim at the wall next to an enemy so the bounce kills it. It works first try as soon as you get it.

«Damage 3 hostiles simultaneously using the Illumine.» · Radiance

Damage 3 hostiles simultaneously using the Illumine. 33.8% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

33.80% of players

The Illumine is the fourth Power Weapon, from the Cathedral: a continuous beam. The easy way is the Chaining Arc trait, which makes the beam jump to nearby enemies. With it, any tight group gives you the trophy.

«Dispatch 1995 regular hostiles.» · Bullet Paradise

Dispatch 1995 regular hostiles. 45.3% have it. It comes on its own on the way to the platinum: between the story, the Epilogue and the 33 expeditions you clear it with room to spare. The figure matches Housemarque's founding year, just as the 2021 projectiles of Break The Cycle match Returnal's year.

The Shield absorbs blue projectiles and uses them to charge the Power Weapon: it is the game's core mechanic, so it comes naturally. Bosses that fire blue barrages — Prophet, the King on his first bar — add hundreds in a single fight.

«Use the Shield to absorb 3 Power bars, then defeat a hostile with a Power Weapon.» · Catch And Release

Use the Shield to absorb 3 Power bars, then defeat a hostile with a Power Weapon. 46.3% have it.

Category

First you need over 90 Power to have three full bars: that is an Armor Matrix upgrade. Then find an enemy that fires lots of blue projectiles, charge all three bars by absorbing, and finish any enemy with the Power Weapon.

«Use Second Chance for the first time.» · Second Chance

Use Second Chance for the first time. 66.9% have it.

Category

Combat

Missable

No

Unlocked by

66.90% of players

It has to be unlocked in the Armor Matrix: it costs 2 Halcyon, and it is the first purchase worth making. From then on, the first death of each cycle revives you on the spot. Nightmare Gates restore it if you have already spent it.

«Dispatch a shielded hostile with a mid-air Melee attack.» · Approach Vector

Dispatch a shielded hostile with a mid-air Melee attack. 75.2% have it.

Category

No

75.20% of players

Shielded enemies have a red shield around them that breaks to a melee hit. Jump towards one and strike before you land: if the hit kills it, the trophy pops. It comes on its own in the early biomes.

«Dispatch 30 hostiles using OverDrive during a single cycle.» · OverDriven

Dispatch 30 hostiles using OverDrive during a single cycle. 9.0% have it, the second rarest in the base game.

Category

Combat

Missable

No

Unlocked by

9.00% of players

OverDrive is obtained in the Shattered Descent and charges as you deal damage. Armor Matrix nodes reduce the damage needed to charge it: take them. Even so, 30 kills will almost certainly require chaining several biomes in one cycle, meaning without dying. It has an area of effect: always use it on packed groups.

«Stagger 2 hostiles simultaneously with one Parry.» · Countermand

Stagger 2 hostiles simultaneously with one Parry. 28.8% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

28.80% of players

Parry is unlocked in the Blighted Marsh: tap at the right moment against a red Nova projectile and it flies back at whoever fired it. Send one back into a group of enemies and it will stagger two easily. Legion, that same biome's boss, is a good spot.

«Die for the first time.» · Come Back Stronger

Die for the first time. 94.7% have it: it is the game's first trophy, because the first death is scripted at the very start to introduce the cycle. No need to seek it or avoid it: the game kills you to teach you that dying is part of the loop. The 5% who lack it never even reached the first cycle.

Defeat the Overlord of the Shattered Rise, the first biome. 64.0% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

64.00% of players

Prophet has three health bars and only takes damage on its weak spot: first destroy the yellow buds that appear on either side; then the central bud opens. Absorb the barrage of blue projectiles with your Shield to charge the Power Weapon and dodge the three waves of corrupted projectiles. On the third bar the arena narrows to a tunnel, but the attacks stay the same.

If you get stuck, invest in the Armor Matrix: Second Chance, which costs 2 Halcyon, lets you die once and carry on.

«Defeat the Overlord of the Ancient Depths.» · Bastion

Defeat the Overlord of the Ancient Depths, the second biome. 54.8% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

54.80% of players

Bastion has no weak spot: you can shoot it from the start. It fires blue barrages and corrupted yellow projectiles at the same time, so position yourself where you absorb the blue ones without eating the yellow. Between bars it retreats and stationary bots appear that must be killed. On the second and third bars it adds red Nova projectiles, which cannot be dodged through: when it covers the whole arena, use the jump pads.

Killing it matters beyond the trophy: it unlocks the Carcosan Modifiers and the Banyan Tree in The Passage.

«Defeat the Overlord of the Shattered Descent.» · Rhabdom

Defeat the Overlord of the Shattered Descent, the third biome. 51.2% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

51.20% of players

Rhabdom is the easiest boss in the game: it has a single health bar. It fills the arena with yellow projectiles, but there are jump pads on both sides to avoid almost everything, and by now you have OverDrive: use it as soon as it charges.

That single bar makes this biome the best one for Untouchable, Vincible and for farming the 33 expeditions: it can be rushed in about four minutes ignoring the enemies.

«Defeat the Overlord of the Blighted Marsh.» · Legion

Defeat the Overlord of the Blighted Marsh, the fourth biome. 46.7% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

46.70% of players

Legion is a flying horde, but only the central, bright-red enemy actually hurts the boss: focus all your fire there. It uses lots of red Nova projectiles, and in this biome you have just gained the Parry: send them back. When the horde circles you launching them, rotate and parry; it usually takes two or three parries to clear. When the central enemy fires a corrupted beam, run and absorb the accompanying blue projectiles with the Shield.

Three bars with no distinct phases: it only adds attacks.

«Defeat the Overlord of the Desecrated Fortress.» · Architect

Defeat the Overlord of the Desecrated Fortress, the fifth biome. 42.6% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

42.60% of players

Architect is a massive flying monster that alternates between hovering in front of you, circling the arena and strafing over you. It can be damaged at all times, but it is hard to hit while moving: use Handcannons or Rifles, which auto-aim, and avoid Shotguns since the fight is at range. With each bar it destroys part of the platform; if it knocks you off, grapple back.

Killing it closes Act 1.

«Defeat the Overlord of Acolyte’s Haven.» · Shepherd

Defeat the Overlord of Acolyte's Haven, the sixth biome. 39.4% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

39.40% of players

Before you can hurt Shepherd you have to take out the tentacles slamming the boat; then its head pops up. It attacks in frontal and side waves of blue, yellow and red projectiles: absorb the first two and parry the third, and your Power Weapon will be charged almost constantly. It shifts to different sides of the arena with each bar, but the fight barely changes. By now the Armor Matrix does the rest.

«Defeat the Overlord of the Cathedral.» · Priestess

Defeat the Overlord of the Cathedral, the seventh biome. 37.3% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

37.30% of players

It starts with three smaller priestesses: kill two and Priestess appears. Her massive waves of blue and yellow projectiles charge your Power Weapon at full speed. Halfway through the first bar the three return; again, two. On the second bar they are larger and there are three red chimes around the arena: destroy them to bring the boss back without fighting them. On the third, the arena becomes platforms that fall away: jump between them and destroy two chimes when she turns invulnerable.

Killing her closes Act 2.

«Defeat the Overlord of the Yellow Shore.» · King

Defeat the Overlord of the Yellow Shore, the eighth and final biome. 34.4% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

34.40% of players

Despite being last, it is one of the easier ones, thanks to how many upgrades you carry and because it spams so many absorbable projectiles that your Power Weapon never stops charging. First bar: blue projectiles only, all absorbable; now and then it raises a yellow shield that breaks to melee. Second bar: red Nova only, dodge or parry. Third: corrupted yellow projectiles, absorbable again.

Killing it rolls the credits and closes Act 3, but not the game: back in The Passage the Epilogue begins, and the second time you drop it, do not finish it off if you are going for Let Go.

«Complete a Biome without taking direct, non-Corruption damage or losing Adrenaline.» · Untouchable

Complete a Biome without taking direct, non-Corruption damage or losing Adrenaline. 8.9% have it: the hardest trophy in the game.

Category

No

Unlocked by

8.90% of players

Save it for last, with the Armor Matrix as complete as possible, and do it in the Shattered Descent: no sidetracking is required and its Overlord, Rhabdom, has a single bar. Enable Damage Enhancement III to shorten the fight, and kill a few enemies on the way to arrive with OverDrive charged. Unlimited Protection Modifiers from the settings are allowed and block nothing.

Safety net: reach the room before the boss, close the game and upload the save to PS Plus cloud. If you get hit against Rhabdom, download it and repeat only the boss.

«Die 3 times during a single cycle.» · Fatal Triptych

Die 3 times during a single cycle. 29.6% have it.

Category

No

29.60% of players

It sounds like failure but it is a Second Chance trick: completing a Nightmare Gate restores it. Die and spend it, clear a gate, die again, and so on up to three. The faster alternative: the Second Chance Overlord modifier, which returns it upon defeating each Overlord.

«Reach maximum Corruption level and survive.» · War Within

Reach maximum Corruption level and survive. 25.6% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

25.60% of players

Corruption is the segments of Integrity removed by yellow projectiles. You have to corrupt most of the bar, to the point where corrupted projectiles start dealing regular damage, and in that state finish the biome: kill the Overlord and reach the start of the next one. Do not use the Power Weapon, because it removes corruption. Corruption Enhancement III helps build it fast, and Damage or Armor Enhancement III helps you survive.

«Use the environment to eliminate a hostile without shooting it.» · Fall From Grace

Use the environment to eliminate a hostile without shooting it. 8.4% have it: the rarest in the base game.

Category

No

Unlocked by

8.40% of players

You need the Parry from the Blighted Marsh. The idea: parry a red Nova projectile into an enemy standing over a gap, so the stagger knocks it off. Find an area with platforms and enemies — or traps — that fire red projectiles, stand on a platform with the drop in front of you and bait the shot. Do not shoot it at all: any damage from your weapons voids the attempt. Not every enemy falls: some airborne ones stay in the air while staggered. Armor Matrix nodes that increase parry stagger help.

Just never hold the Shield button for the whole biome. Early on it is tough; with an advanced Armor Matrix, it is not. The place is once again the Shattered Descent: the shortest biome and the single-bar boss. You can combine it with Untouchable in the same run if you feel up to it, though it is safer to do them separately.

«Frame the entrance of the first Overlord lair using Photo Mode.» · Carcosan Surveyor : Locked and Forgotten

Frame the entrance of the first Overlord lair using Photo Mode. 1.8% have it: it is one of the nine trophies added by update 1.005.001 in June 2026 alongside Photo Mode, and they do not count towards the platinum.

It is in the Shattered Rise: go through the biome to the big round doorway that leads to Prophet. Open Photo Mode and frame the doorway: you do not need to save any picture, focusing on the element is enough and the trophy pops. You can leave the biome afterwards.

Alphas carry a red crown above their head and on the minimap, and spawn randomly from the Shattered Descent onwards.

There are no difficulty settings, nothing is missable and nothing is online. Most of it falls by finishing the story; the real work is Untouchable, the 33 expeditions with modifiers, and 25 kills with each of the 19 weapons.

From the second biome you can enable Carcosan Modifiers, and the settings offer an Unlimited Protection Modifiers option that trivialises the game without blocking any trophy. Between 20 and 25 hours for anyone coming from Returnal; more if you refuse to use the modifiers.
