Introduction

Welcome to the Bramble: The Mountain King Trophy Guide! Bramble: The Mountain King is a grim adventure set in a world inspired by Nordic fables in which you play as Olle, a little kid who ventures out into a world rife with horrors and threats to rescue his sister from the clutches of the cursed Mountain King. The game features 17 chapters, combining platforming, stealth and combat challenges. For the Platinum trophy, you need to play through the story and collect all wooden figurines and storybooks, meet chapter-specific requirements and especially complete a playthrough without dying or reloading checkpoints. Not dying/reloading checkpoints is the most challenging trophy in the game, but you can use the PS+ Cloud to make backup saves, especially before tricky platforming sequences or boss fights. Just make sure you don’t ever reload a checkpoint either. Check :silver: Survivor trophy description for a suggested list of save locations for all chapters and overall strategies. You can go about the Platinum in two different ways: one casual playthrough for collectibles and miscellaneous trophies and then a second no-death playthrough or you can combine everything in one playthrough provided you make frequent use of the PS+ Cloud for backups. The easier approach is to do two playthroughs.

Step 1: Grab All Collectibles, Unlock All Miscellaneous Trophies

During this Step, primarily focus on getting all Collectibles. Check Bramble: The Mountain King All Collectible Locations for an all-in-one guide to get all collectibles and miscellaneous trophies during this playthrough.

Step 2: Complete a Playthrough Without Dying or Reloading Checkpoints

Replay the game without dying or reloading checkpoints. It’s important that you do not restart checkpoints either since the game counts this as deaths. You can refer to :silver: Survivor for a detailed list of suggested backup save locations.

To back up save: Go to PS5 Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data (PS5) > Console Storage > Select Bramble and upload to Cloud. Also go to Saved Data (PS5) > Sync Saved Data > Turn Off Autosync, so that it doesn’t accidentally overwrite your save when quitting the game.

To download save: If you die you can restore your save by going to PS5 Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data (PS5) > Cloud Storage > Select Bramble and download to console. Then you are back to where you made the save and can retry from there without having to start a new playthrough. Since you already know the game you will die less often doing this on a 2nd run.

Bramble Trophy Guide
Chapter 12 – Skogsrå’s grove

Unmissable, story-related unlock. Skogsrå is the boss in Chapter 12 – Skogsrå’s grove. This boss fight has four phases:

  • Phase 1: during Phase 1, you need to cast your light at the cloaked shadows hanging from the surrounding trees. When Skogsrå summons a mud wave, hide behind a tree or jump over it before it hits you. When she raises thorns from the ground, step away from the trees. When she spell-casts, hide behind a tree.
  • Phase 2: Phase 2 plays exactly like Phase 1, but this time she also summons explosive flower petals. The cloaked shadows have moved higher on the trees.
  • Phase 3: same attack patterns, but this time she also summons rays of light from the sky. Furthermore, you must jump over the mud wave as there no trees to shield you this time around. Do your best to shoot the cloaked shadows as you avoid her traps.
  • Phase 4: simply fulfill the :square: QTE to stab her in the face and finish her off.

If you’re going for the no-death playthrough, we suggest making a backup save at the start of each phase.

Bramble: The Mountain King Trophy Guide Pesta
Escape Pesta
Bramble Trophy Guide
Chapter 14 – Pesta’s Nightmare

Unmissable, story-related unlock. Pesta is the boss fight in Chapter 13 – Plague Village. This boss fight has three phases:

  • Phase 1: during Phase 1, all you have to do is avoid her rats and rake and cast your light at her open eyes. When she spawns clones, you must hit the one which is sort of breathing air in. Keep doing the same until you’ve hit both of her eyes and are back on the boat.
  • Phase 2: during Phase 2, she still summons rats, but her rake will be flipped, meaning that this time you have to jump over it. Additionally, she can sneak up on you from below and open her mouth to eat you. As soon as her face spawns in, make sure you’re not standing on her mouth. Then, it’s a matter of shutting both of her eyes.
  • Phase 3: during Phase 3, her rake will go over you, so you have to react quickly enough to avoid the spikes when she tries raking you in. The rest of her attacks are the same as in Phase 1 and 2.

If you’re going for the no-death playthrough, we suggest making a backup save at the start of each phase.

Unmissable, story-related unlock. The Mountain King is the boss fight in Chapter 16 – Hall of the Mountain King. This boss fight has 3 phases:

  • Phase 1: during Phase 1, you must avoid his piercing knife and stabbing fork. As he charges up his next knife pierce or fork stab, destroy only one flower. Continue until all flowers are gone.
  • Phase 2: during Phase 2, you must jump when he slashes his sword and dodge away when he slams the scepter. Do not bother going for the bramble flowers when he slams the scepter because stalactites will start falling down immediately after. After destroying a set of flowers, he will slightly change his attacks. He will slash his swords twice in a row and sometimes blast both weapons. When he gets ready for the blast, you need to hide behind the stalactites.
  • Phase 3: during Phase 3, run towards the big bramble flower and climb up the sword and then the king’s beard to end the fight.

If you’re going for the no-death playthrough, we suggest making a backup save at the start of each phase.

Chapter 5 – Troll Forest

After fleeing the forest troll creature, you’ll automatically drop down into a cave where you squash a pine cone upon landing. Continue across the cave and slide down the hill to reach an area with animal innards. As you make your way through the bowels, you’ll eventually find a gnome locked in a cage. Interact with the cage to use it as bait for the creature wading around the area and you’ll unlock this trophy.

Chapter 2 – Nearby Forest

Shortly after the beginning of the chapter, you’ll get to an overgrowth area with a single apple tree and a bench in the middle. Immediately after dropping down into the area where the apple tree and the bench are, check the right side close to the ledge you dropped down from to find a small goal made of wooden sticks. Push any of the apples on the ground through it to unlock this trophy.

Chapter 5 – Troll Forest

After defeating the butcher, you’ll have to liberate 8 gnomes from a cage. After releasing them, usher them toward the door to help you open it. Right after the door, the path rife with bear traps starts. Make sure you make a backup save here if you’re going for a no-death playthrough. First off, make sure you have all 8 gnomes around you before going through the path. Now, slowly make your way through the traps, taking short breaks after each trap to make sure that the gnomes are as close to you as possible. Additionally, take wider turns to prevent the gnomes from walking too close to the traps. If any of the gnome gets stuck in the environment after the final two traps, don’t worry about it. They will regroup with you eventually. This trophy is very annoying because the gnomes may sometimes step on the traps as they make way for or follow you. You’ll probably have to restart the checkpoint a few times here. Speaking of which, if you’re on the no-death run, you must leave this trophy for a later stage or you will void :silver: Survivor. Once you reach their house, the trophy will unlock.

Complete a playthrough without dying
Bramble Trophy Guide
For this you must complete an entire playthrough without dying or restarting checkpoints. The games sees checkpoints reloads as a death, so don’t ever choose the option in the pause menu.

Completing a playthrough without dying can prove quite challenging if you’re attempting it on your first run through the game. However, you can use the PS+ Cloud to make backup saves in strategic spots. Then if you die you can reload that save and continue from there. Doing so won’t void the trophy. Below you can find a list of suggested backup save locations for those chapters where it may be worth doing so. Generally speaking, take your time in platforming and combat challenges.

    There is a physical disc version available with the free ps5 upgrade. Not sure about the digital. I have a copy preordered and I just got confirmation that it’s about to be shipped.

    It was changed to reflect that it is available on PS4. But it says no cross buy. This is not correct. I bought the digital game once and have it for both PS4 and PS5.

    Hi. If I don’t have plus subscription, can I get Survivor by quickly pausing and closing the game after death and before screen fades black? No one tested this?

      I’d also like to know this too as i too don’t have PS plus, is there any other way to make this a bit easier?

      This will void the trophy as it will count it as loading a checkpoint
