Trophy Guide & Platinum Roadmap

Community estimate: 5/10 difficulty, 40–60 hours to platinum, all offline. The list is friendlier than the game — most trophies come naturally, and the missables are tamed by one habit and one save file.

The roadmap in four steps

  1. Play run one however you like — on any difficulty below Duelist. Do the side content as you meet it, keep the missables checklist open, and chase the character questlines.
  2. After the third court member: manual save. All six ending trophies (and the story completion ones) are farmable from that single save — see the endings guide.
  3. Clean up collectibles (flags, towers, villages, transports) and the odd combat trophies — Untouchable is easiest against slow enemies like bandits.
  4. NG+ on Duelist for Uphill Battle — with your level, perks and legendary gear carried over, the hardest trophy becomes a build victory lap.
Mutually exclusive ending trophies: Folk Hero / Patricide / Knyazmaker cancel each other out in a single timeline. You do not need three playthroughs — one manual save before the endgame branch covers all three (plus Turncoat and the two other bad endings).

Sources: the published trophy list (PowerPyx) cross-checked with the community wiki. Two source conflicts noted honestly: Delivery Delay's text says 8 transports while 10 exist on the map; fextralife's list of Crake's optional quests differs slightly from PowerPyx's 100% guide — both are reflected here.
