Introduction

Welcome to the The First Berserker: Khazan Trophy Guide! Set in the DNF Universe, you’ll play as Khazan who is on a revenge mission to bring justice to those who wronged him. The game is heavily inspired by games such as Dark Souls and Nioh, hitting a lot of the same gameplay mechanics, while bringing its own unique spins to the table.

Step 1: (1 Playthrough Path) Normal Difficulty, All Collectibles, All Bonus Missions, The First Berserker Ending

If you want to complete the platinum in a single playthrough, make sure you play on Normal difficulty and DO NOT summon a single Spirit of Advocacy. This will make the game a lot harder, but it can be done in 1 playthrough. If you want to see the 2 playthrough path, skip to Step 2 and 3 instead.

You’ll want to focus on getting all the collectibles and completing all Bonus Missions, which will already put you at 2/3 of the requirements for getting The First Berserker Ending. Make sure you’re following :gold: THE FIRST BERSERKER steps to get the ending.

Once you reach the final boss (or the Corrupted Lounge Blade Nexus, in case you mess up the steps for the ending), upload your save to the cloud.

After finishing the game, you should unlock :gold: THE FIRST BERSERKER, :silver: The Expert’s Journey, :and silver: Standing Alone. Afterwards, you can redownload your save from the cloud, revert the difficulty to Easy and beat the final boss again to unlock :silver: The Challenger’s Journey.

If you don’t have PS+ to upload your save, you’ll have to go into New Game+ to unlock :silver: The Challenger’s Journey.

Step 2: (2 Playthrough Path) Normal Difficulty, All Collectibles, All Bonus Missions, The First Berserker Ending

For the 2 playthrough method, you’ll want to play on Normal difficulty, while summoning Spirits of Advocacy to help you during boss fights. The reason you want to start with Normal difficulty first is because you can lower your difficulty to Easy in the settings, but you cannot raise your difficulty to Normal, so you won’t be able to earn :silver: The Expert’s Journey in New Game+ if you started on Easy and you’ll need to start a whole new game instead.

Other than summoning Spirits of Advocacy, this playthrough is exactly the same as the 1 playthrough path, except needing to upload your save to the cloud, though it’s still recommended in case you mess up getting The First Berserker ending.

Step 3: (2 Playthrough Path) Easy Difficulty Speedrun on New Game+

For the second playthrough, you’ll want to start New Game+ and change the difficulty down to Easy. You’ll also want to not summon any Spirits of Advocacy during this playthrough so you can unlock :silver: Standing Alone.

During this playthrough, you’ll also want to clean up any other miscellaneous trophies you missed, or try going for The First Berserker ending again if you missed it during your first playthrough.

The First Berserker: Khazan Trophy Guide The Challenger’s Journey
Reached the ending.		 Silver
*MISSABLE*

This trophy unlocks when beating the game on Easy difficulty. If you raise the difficulty to Normal and beat the game, you won’t unlock this trophy on your current playthrough unless you have a backup save before the final boss, since you cannot get another ending on the same playthrough.
The First Berserker: Khazan Trophy Guide The Expert’s Journey
Reached the ending after a difficult journey.		 Silver
*MISSABLE*

This trophy unlocks when beating the game on Normal difficulty. If at any point you lower your difficulty to Easy or start on Easy, you’ll need to make an entire new save in order to attempt the trophy as you cannot raise your difficulty back up to Normal.
The First Berserker: Khazan Trophy Guide THE FIRST BERSERKER
Reached ‘THE FIRST BERSERKER’ ending.		 Gold
*MISSABLE*

In order to get The First Berserker ending, you’ll have to do a few things first.

  1. You’ll need to complete certain Bonus Missions. It’s unknown the exact ones you need to complete in order to unlock the ending, but since you need to complete them all in order to unlock :silver: Countless Tales anyway, it’s best and safer to complete all of them.
  2. You’ll need to collect all 15 Golden Collection Items. You’ll know you’ve collected them all once you unlock :silver: Ozma’s Past.
  3. In the Master of Chaos Mission, once you reach the Corrupted Lounge Blade Nexus, you’ll find Daphrona there. Talk to her and when prompted a dialogue option, make sure you choose the bottom option, “I must know the truth”. As a precaution to avoid mistakes, you should make a backup save in PS+ Cloud at this point before making your choice.
  4. If you did everything correctly up to this point, the final boss should have 3 phases. If he only has 2 phases, then you didn’t do one of the above steps correctly.
  5. After defeating the boss, you’ll be put into a room where you interact with objects to reminisce about the past. Once you reach the Diary, MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE OUT OF IT. Do not read any of the entries in the diary. It is unknown if this is a requirement or a bug, but reading the entries in the diary will cause the trophy to not unlock.

If you missed getting the ending on your current playthrough, you’ll have to start another playthrough on New Game+ in order to attempt the ending again if you didn’t make a back up save.

    • Yes, easy mode isn’t really easy. It’s more easier than normal mode but still a bit challenging 🙂

    • All Easy Mode does is make you take slightly less damage & deal slightly more damage. If you struggle with these types of games, Easy Mode won’t make a difference

  2. “Countless Tales
    Completed all bonus missions. Silver
    This trophy is currently glitched and will not unlock for a majority of players for unknown reasons.”

    Does this mean the platinum is currently impossible to obtain?

    Reply

  4. Is the Bonus missions repeatable? If Bonus mission glitched for trophies, is it possible to replay those?
    Or are we in mercy of cloud saves?

    Reply

    • You can replay all missions as long as you don’t start New Game+ after beating the game. You should be able to replay the Bonus Missions in question to get the trophies once they’re fixed, but that’s still up in the air.

    • Difficulty is subjective to the player, so it might be easier, might be harder. The demo barely scratches the surface of the games difficulty however, especially if you decide to go for the 1 playthrough method vs the 2 playthrough method.

  6. Hi, thx for the guide. Quick question : it is 60h for step 1 or step 2+3? If not how long it will take for only step 1?

    Reply

    • 60 Hours for Step 1, not counting difference in skill levels that might make the game shorter or longer from player to player. Step 2+3 should also be around the same length since most players should struggle less, which would mean they save time overall. It’s completely up to the player which method they’d prefer to use, but Step 1 might take longer than step 2+3 combined depending on skill level.

  7. Hi! What do you mean the bonus missions are repeatable? If I complete them in the first game, if before the final boss then the patch comes out can I go back and recomplete the bonus missions as many times as I want?

    Reply

    • The entire game is mission based & when you’re in the hub, you can select any mission you want, including main missions, and replay them from any of the Blade Nexus points. You can also do this after you beat the final boss, as long as you don’t start New Game+ when prompted to after the credits. You can start New Game+ at a later point by talking to an NPC in the hub instead.

  8. if i go into the final fight once and lose, can i still do the collectibles and fight him after collecting everything for the special ending?

    Reply

  9. Thank you for the great guide !
    For your suggested Spear Build which primary stats (endurance, vitality etc.) should we focus on and prioritize on leveling up over the course of the game ?

    Reply

    • I’ve been wondering the same thing. I was confused why bigger games like Death Stranding 2, Expedition 33, Atomfall, and Indiana Jones were being left off the list, but hopefully another site does something I guess.

  11. Because I’ve completed the demo won’t a lot of thoughs trophies auto pop when I play the legit version of the game??

    Reply

  12. Do you recommend a normal playthrough with summoning and on NG+ do a “easy” playthrough, not summoning and true ending? Is the true ending more doable on normal with summon or easy without it? The character’s lvl carries into the NG+? Thank you for the guide!!

    Reply

  13. Ozma has a third phase/ form in the true ending path? Like a full third health bar? He has to be one of the toughest final bosses in a Soulsborne game.

    Does he transform into a giant monster for his third phase? His first two forms are pretty normal sized so maybe he transforms into a giant demon in his third phase? Or does he become human again?
