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 With Summoning, 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 a New Save Without Summoning

For the second playthrough, you’ll need to start a whole new save as :silver: Standing Alone does not unlock on New Game+ if you summoned at all on that save file.

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.

Refer to The First Berserker: Khazan All Bonus Missions Guide.
The First Berserker: Khazan Trophy Guide Standing Alone
Reached the ending without summoning a Spirit of Advocacy.		 Silver
*MISSABLE*

Towards the end of the Forgotten Temple Mission, you’ll be introduced to Spirits of Advocacy and Revenants of Adversity. Spirits of Advocacy are spirits you can summon outside of boss rooms that will help you during boss fights by interacting with their signs and Revenants of Adversity are evil spirits that you can summon that will try to kill you.

For this trophy you can’t summon a single Spirit of Advocacy until you’ve beaten the game. Summoning a Revenant of Adversity is fine and doesn’t negate the trophy. The Spirit of Advocacy summon point will be a golden mist, while a Revenant of Adversity summon point will be a red mist. You cannot go for this trophy in New Game+ either, as the game will remember that you summoned a spirit even in New Game+, so you’ll need to start a whole new save.
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 backup 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

    • I can confirm what the others said. Decided to kill the final boss on easy first before recovering my save to get the other trophy out of the way.
      I actually can’t tell the difference at all. Both fights went about the same for me. I guess what you can do on easy, you can do on normal as well.

  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

    • I would like to know that too. Because if it’s not obtainable i have no intention to buy the game right now, start playing and have to redo it in order to get it.

    • No, I just got the platinum. All you have to do is complete every side mission without exiting the game. If you already beat the game and have all the checkpoints unlocked it’s really easy. It took me around 30 minutes. Just fast travel to the last checkpoint of each mission and finish it.

  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

    • Honestly I have no idea as I haven’t tested this. Theoretically it should be fine but I wouldn’t risk it personally & make sure everything is done BEFORE starting the fight.

  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

    • Vitality (For HP), Endurance (For Stamina), & Proficiency (For Damage). I personally don’t know what any of the soft or hard caps are, but once I hit 45 in both Vitality & Stamina I stopped investing into them & started putting everything in Proficiency instead.

    • 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.

    • To be fair, power pyx implies its not coming because its not on the upcoming list. ut neither was the Until Dawn remake on the upcoming list yet that still got a trophy guide why?

    • No, what I’m “implying” is to check on the next guides page because games frequently get updated and added there 🙂
      For some games I won’t know until closer to release when I have them in hand.

  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

    • I recommend doing the true ending on whichever playthrough you’re basically going for 100% on, which I personally recommend being your first playthrough. So if you’re going the 2 playthrough route, I would recommend doing the true ending on Normal with summons. & yes, levels & gear carry into NG+

  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?

    Reply

    • Yes, he has a 3rd phase with an whole new health bar. His 3rd phase is mostly just a repeat of Phase 2 with a couple of new attacks through in, but he takes insane amounts of damage & stuns really quickly in that phase. It’s suppose to be more cinematic that a challenge

  15. I’m missing a collection item to the right of trokka in the witch’s castle mission, I’ve checked your guide and got everything you’ve put so seems like you’re missing one?

    Reply

    • You’re missing the Undelivered Letter collectible, it’s the last collectible listed in the mission. It’s near the Lydia’s Garden Blade Nexus

  16. Hi, can I finish the game on easy, reload my save before the last boss again to play on normal to unlock the trophy The Challenger’s Journey?

    Greetings and many thanks to your guides
    I’m following you since 11 years.

    Reply

    • No you can’t. When selecting Easy difficulty, you cannot raise the difficulty to Normal, which is why to earn both you need to start on Normal. You also need to upload your save to cloud storage as the game will automatically autosave once beating the boss if you plan on doing it all in 1 playthrough

    • While difficulty is purely subjective, I personally think if you’re going for Normal difficulty with no spirits, it’s harder than the Fromsoft games & one of the harder games in the genre in general, which is why for your average player it’s probably a better idea to go for the 2 playthrough method, especially if you don’t have PS+ to upload your cloud to the save anyway since you’d then need 2 playthroughs anyway

  18. Can I just play it on Normal in the first playthrough for fun without bothering for any other trophy, collectible or bonus missions and do all the remaining stuff in the second playthrough on Easy since it is New Game + or is there nothing useful for trophies you can take with you into NG+?

    Reply

    • Everything transfer into NG+. but it’s highly recommended you do a lot of the trophies either way on your first playthrough as you get a lot of useful things that’ll make your playthrough overall easier. Plus since the entire game is mission based & linear, you’re not really going out of your way too much

  19. i played the demo n finish it bt accidentally i choose easy diff so my question is can i earn normal diff n no summon trophy in ng+ can i choose the diff again in ng+?

    Reply

    • No, you cannot change your difficulty from Easy to Normal. To earn the trophy on Normal you’ll need to start a whole new save

  20. Do i have to complete the whole map if I just wanna collect the missing jarling? Or can I just return right after?

    Reply

    • You can return after to clean up any collectibles. Just make sure you collect the Golden Collectibles before fighting the final boss at least to get the true ending

  21. In the first part of the STAND ALONE throphy description, says 2x the spirit of advocacy

    And my question:
    So, I can use the red ones. The golden ones (before the boss) will deactivate this trophy, right?

    Reply

    • Yes, you can summon the red ones. Summoning the gold ones outside of boss doors voids the trophy. Though fighting the red ones is pointless as you get pretty trash gear as a reward & stuff to summon/upgrade the spirits you summon, which you won’t be doing in the playthrough anyway

  22. There is a super broken glitch rn. If u have the gear from the deluxe version. During ur Phantom Form,change ur gear to the deluxe version’s gear. It automatically reset the phantom form bar,which means u can use the phantom form as long as u want. I beat the true ending Ozma with this glithch and it just become super easy.

    Reply

    • And I found out that I pop both The Challenger and Expert’s Journey trophies at the same time.I do not have to fight the boss again tho.

    • Is that still working? When you say “gear” you mean by the entire Deluxe bonus set when you activate the Phantom Form?

    • I get what you mean, i tried it, but apparently, you cannot use indefinitely, you have to change gear all the time to keep up, and in heptic boss fights, without pause, it is very hard to do that.

      How did you do?

  23. For the true ending when you say ‘Once you reach the Diary, MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE OUT OF IT’ do you mean don’t pick it up or pick it up and instantly close out of it? I’m coming up on this part now and would like to be sure. Thanks

    Reply

  24. Can’t trigger The Last Command trophy, it is glitched.
    Also, guide says, release 3 prisoners, but there are 4 of them.

    Reply

    • Someone else on the team had a this same issue. I’ll update the guide with the information that this one seems to be bugged for certain people as well

    • Yeah, i tried multiple times to trigger it. Release 3 prisoners, release 4 prisoners, talked with guys, don’t talk with guys.
      There were 2 dialogue choices in the story up untill now, can those effect the needed outcome of those glitched trophies?

    • Desperate Escape is also glitched for me
      Rescued the wrongfully accused subordinates. Bronze
      Unlocks after completing the Last Command Bonus Mission.

      This also required Escaping Linon Mine to be completed in the same session. I fully closed out the game and tried Last Command first, it didn’t unlock. Then I completed the entire Escaping Linon Mine from the beginning and it unlocked. I can confirm that the order doesn’t matter. I can’t confirm if you only need to kill the boss Escaping Linon Mine for it to unlock.

  25. Does Daphrone only appear in Corrupted Lounge Blade Nexus if I’ve found all 15 golden collection items? Because she’s not there right now

    Reply

    • I haven’t personally tested it, but if she isn’t there & you don’t have all 15, try collecting them all & then see if she’s there

  26. Does anyone know if it’s possible to complete “Standing Alone” in NG+?, i tried the summon to check how it worked and locked my self out of this without knowing that was a achivement for that, only throphy left now but im not sure if i need to start a new game or can i continue to NG+ for that.

    Reply

    • While I personally did it in my first playthrough, it should absolutely be possible & I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t be unless that counter transfers into NG+

    • Well, after checking steam discussions on this, it seems it’s not possible to earn standing alone in NG+ if you did summon in the first playthough, there’s a lot of reports of people completing NG+ and did not earn it, so you have to start a new save, i hope they change this.

  27. Hi, I have a question i just made it to skalpel without summon till now in normal if i go until the point you tell where i do my backup save can i do like the final boss for berserker end in normal with summon and in easy solo with backup no summon to get the Standing Alone rophy ?

    Reply

  28. The standing alone trophy seems to also be bug, I did a speed ran on easy and i know for 100% sure I didn’t summon any help and when I was done beating the final boss it didn’t pop, if there’s any explanation for this please let me know or I guess I just have to wait till they get fix but overall I think for some players the standing alone trophy will be bug for them too.

  29. I figured it out why the trophy is glitch now. Since the game can’t pop trophy offline and u have to do all trophy online,if u quit the game,your bonus mission progress will be reset.So fo the trohphy like Undying Loyalty,u have to finish both mission in one go without closing the game or disconnect. I got all three glitch trophies in this way. However, for the all bonus mission,i guess for now u have to finish them all in one go,I may just wait for the patch for this one.

    Reply

    • Really? Going to go test this theory right now, if it ends up working for me as well, I’ll add it to the guide.

      Did you do this from a fresh save, I.E complete every bonus mission for the first time in a single sitting, or by just going to the final Blade Nexus of each bonus mission & getting the “Mission Completed” screen on all of them in a single sitting?

    • Here is the order u need to complete for certain trophies.
      The order:Last Sentinel→Crimson Trace→Centurial Order
      The Hidden Laboratory：Why Have You Forsaken Us?→Valus’s Axe →Remnants of Chaos

    • I did this in my own save, not a fresh save. Basically I go to the final blade nexus and finish the bonus mission, it will count.

    • Finished testing out this now, & I can 100% confirm that this worked. You can replay the missions from the last Blade Nexus & just beat the boss at the end (For Jar Enthusiast you must collect the jars again however). You don’t need to do them in order, as long as every bonus mission is completed in 1 sitting, you’ll get all the bonus mission related trophies.

      It seems to work this way because whenever you reset or close the game it resets the counter for the bonus missions and the specific bonus mission trophies aren’t actually tied to completing the last mission in the chain, but to complete all bonus missions in the chain which would also explain why Undying Loyalty was the hardest one to get as the missions for that trophy span nearly the entire game. Same with The Hidden Laboratory.

    • Thanks Jerry for help, got all the glitched trophies except all bonus missions, but that going to do later in one sitting as you need just teleport to last Blade and finish the mission.

  30. collected all 15 golden items and daphrone is there but if i wanna talk to her i only can choose “end the conversation”

    Reply

    • I think the problem is i entered the last bossfight and then i did all bonus missions done then daphrone appeared in the corrupted blade nexus and then i can talk with her but only with “end conversation”

      I think i have to do a complete new run right?

      Is easy mode allowed for the first berserker ending?

  32. tried the summon to check how it worked but got killed either way am I locked from the standing alone trophy ?

    Reply

  33. For Standing Alone, if I go for the 2 playthroughs and in the first one I summon, doing a “New Save” instead of New Game+ means basically go back to level 1 and doing the game without all the gear, points, etc?

  35. I have all the trophies except for FIRST BERSERKER ENDING. Unfortunately, I have the same problem as described above. I tried the final boss, failed, and then did everything else. Now Daphrone just tells me end conversation.

    Reply

  36. I think the easiest way is just try to complete the game with Normal Ending so last boss has only 2 phase then reload save to switch to easy then summon spirit and do the True Ending.

    Is this ok?

    Reply

  37. Could swear this guide said you can summon on the first playthrough and then on ng+ don’t summon for standing alone and now I’m seeing and hearing that isn’t possible.

    Almost like you just made that information up :/

    Reply

    • It was assumed it’d work on NG+ as it’s a weird check to keep in place going into NG+ when a lot of other checks are reset. Especially when it’s also the norm to reset all trophy checks on NG+. It’s unknown if this is actually intended to interact like this, or a bug.

    • After discussing with friends you were right to assume it would unlock on ng+

      Like you said most achievement/trophy requirements reset going in to ng+ and the description just says ‘reached the ending without summoning’ so I would actually say you were right to assume, my bad buddy.
      Great guide though, it helped me a lot. Just like always on Powerpyx.

  38. For 2 playthroughs can I do easy first with no summons first? I just beat blade phantom. Since we have to start a new playthrough for normal anyway.

  39. “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.”

    You don’t have to fight the final boss on easy for the other trophy, for me, it unlocked automatically along with the other 3. Maybe this was changed during the update.

    Reply

    • Yeah a lot of people have been reporting that both difficulty trophies have been unlocking for them. Never saw a change talking about it in any updates, but also saw some people not getting both, but might be on a lower version still. I’ll update description if it ends up lasting another update since it also might just be a bug

    • There is a function in the game, from Start Menu, choose to Load your save file, but don’t load, push a button which says – Recover. The game has 2 save files to recover, which can help you be back before boss fight or sometimes even more back. Not sure how it was..

      That should really help for people who don’t have PS+

  40. Yeah so it’s 100% confirmed that if you play and at any point sommon help for a boss you instantly lock your self out of the standing alone trophy and this includes NG+ only way to get it after is to either from the very start never sommon or and I kid you not, start a brand new save file and go thru all the pain and misery again as weak as when you first started. Something I hate being a platinum hunter for cases like this.

    Reply

    • Yeah this is really stupid. It was assumed it would unlock normally on NG+ since lets be real, who wouldn’t think it’d unlock on NG+? Really hope this is unintended and will eventually be fixed so that it erased that check when starting NG+

  41. Hey Guys

    if anyone like me has Problems with the Trophy “Countless Tales – All Submissions completed”

    so yeah, there is the Problem with you have it to do it in “ONE SITTING” so it doesn´t go to Crash or you dont have to Close the Game.. so but i have found out after like 3 Times doing all of this Missions that i have misclicked on the Mission for unlocked the “Blacksmith” so yeah on the MAP it looks like a “Main Mission – Flag” but its a “Side Mission – Flag” when you click on it and the same is it for the Mission “Kaleido” so yeah that was my “Solution” to get the Trophy and the Platin finally..

  44. So quick question: how difficult is the final boss? From the comments I saw it seems like an insurmountable obstacle due to the multi phase thing. Also so far I’ve been doing the normal difficulty playthrough no summons and it’s hard but not infuriating. Can i back up my save do normal with summon to get the trophies I need then download my save and do easy for the no summons trophy? Thanks in advance!

    Reply

    • His difficulty really depends on your weapon of choice, build, & overall skill, but I’d personally say he was the hardest boss for me, even pre-patch. But yes, if you struggle you could do that and have a back up save, however the summons that late in the game are pointless if you haven’t been upgrading them since they’ll die in like 2-3 hits. So if you do plan to do that, you should probably grind the Remnants of Adversity in order to get the items to upgrade the spirits.

    • Ah yes you are right of course. I didn’t bother with them at all so it’s rather pointless. I guess pain and suffering is my only option. I am using a spear build and i think i am decent but somewhat passive until i get comfortable with the boss and the moveset. I saw someone using a skill to prolong the duration of exhaustion for the boss and it seemed pretty broken if you can accumulate spirit/fury in time. It’s the six piece bonus from the soul eater set. Do you reckon it might be better than the fallen lord’s set?

    • I would suggest, don’t use any willpower obs or any shards before end boss, those can make End Boss much manageable as you have few other sources for healing. And make some flasks for chaos resistance and overall removal of chaos.

  45. Update: I just completed the game with Berserker Ending on Normal with no summons and the trophy also popped for completing the game on easy. I had a save file ready to go but you don’t need to do two playthroughs!

    The only annoying bug is the side mission stuff.

    Reply

    • I just had this with the endings. Side quest repeats doesn’t take too long as you can just start at the final checkpoints each and beat the boss. You’ll be OP for most by endgame so it doesn’t take long to do a quick boss rush of them all.

  46. I’ve got the platinum a few hours ago! As others said the trophy for easy difficulty also popped. Had a minor heart attack when i didn’t see the platinum popping but i forgot about starting a new journey. Thanks to ObsiEez for the guide!

    PS The final boss was hard but manageable at the end. I didn’t need to lower the difficulty or summon.

    Reply

  47. Update: so anyone that really wants to get the platinum for first berserker khazan but couldn’t because your like me that refuse to play a brand new save file to get the “standing alone” trophy there is hope, the devs in the discord stated this = “When the patch related to the ‘Standing Alone’ achievement goes live, we’ll reset the history of Soul Assist summons. From that point on, if you complete the game without summoning any spirits, you’ll be able to earn the achievement. Now, for players who have already cleared up to NG++ (New Game Plus Plus), don’t worry — you’ll still be able to earn the achievement. All you’ll need to do is defeat the final boss again (we won’t mention the name here to avoid spoilers — thank you for understanding), and the achievement will be granted. After that, even if you didn’t meet the condition in your first playthrough, as long as you don’t summon in NG+, the achievement will unlock when you reach the ending.”

    • What about if I haven’t summoned on my first easy playthrough will I be able to change difficulty to normal on new game plus and get the trophy for finishing the game on normal? Or do I have to start a new playthrough for normal?

  48. I have a problem with prophecy 4 not spawning after the boss in crimson trace, it’s not there on the floor where it’s supposed to be (PS5) am I fucked?

  49. Just finished the game and unlocked the first Berserker trophy but Ozma’s Past trophy didn’t unlock for me. Obviously I have all 15 golden collectible items since I got the ending but that trophy never popped. I tried reading all of them collectibles in my inventory but that didn’t work either. Also, the the trophy for defeating Reese didn’t unlock after beating her. I’ll go try to beat her again and see if that hopefully unlocks the trophy. Is this an issue with the latest update?

    Reply

  51. I’m at the final boss on normal difficulty without summons. Can’t I just upload this save to the cloud, switch to easy and defeat the boss without summons and get the trophies for easy and no summons. Load back my normal difficulty save and beat the boss with summons and get the normal trophy?

  52. Hi, i am missing only stand alone trophy, yeah i summoned. What should i do? Can i get it in new game on easy and how long this could take(if?), or should i wait on patch….. Hard life of trophy hunter :-)).

    Reply

    • Yes, you can get it on a brand new save on Easy difficulty. Though at this rate they confirmed that the NG+ thing is unintended, so if you want you can also wait for a patch, though who knows when that’ll be

  53. Hello, I’m looking for the epic collections. There are 15 of them. I have 11, but I have a problem. The last 4 are nowhere to be found. I looked at the Powerpyx guide for the location. They are not in the places mentioned. I’m missing the day of the black moon 2 and 3. Reese 3 and Prophecy 1. Is this a bug?

  56. can i get to the last blade nexus before fighting last boss without talking to daphrona ?

    so i can backup my savedata at that point of time (less hassle to do some walk again from corrupted lounge blade nexus to the last blade nexus before last boss)

    thanks for answer

    Reply

  57. Thanks for the Guide Powerpyx. I have a question, do I have to pop the “countless tales” trophy and all the other glitched trophy before defeating the final boss, or I can pop them later?

    Reply

    • I unlocked these trophy’s after I beat the final boss , also I switched to easy mode to clear the side missions faster because the game is crushing a lot on loading screen when entering the mission , which sucks.

  58. I just beat the final boss and popped The First Bezerker, The Expert’s Journey, The Challenger’s Journey and Standing Alone all at the same time.

    Not sure if they’ve patched it but seems like the difficulty trophies stacked so I didn’t have to back up to ps+ for the easy trophy ending. Might be worth updating the guide if this is now the same for everyone.

    Reply

    • Hello Allen ! you unlocked all the expected trophies, may I know if you read the journal’s entry after beating the final boss ? this seems unclear too, the guide says to close it without reading, I’m scared :D

  59. Has anyone managed to get Countless Tales before defeating the final boss? I’ve replayed the side quests multiple times and haven’t gotten the trophy, but I haven’t defeated the final boss yet. Should I still defeat him?

    Reply

    • After the patch coming tomorrow I believe you can. Look up patch notes, there’s quite a lot of fixes coming.

  61. Fortunately there is a big patch coming tomorrow that will fix many of these issues. The big one I’m looking forward too is getting stand alone on ng+. Switching from normal to easy at that point too wont void any trophies as the summon counter will reset. So, just as it is with most soulsbourne games you can steamroll with optimal gear through easy mode to get the trophy/achievement now. It will also fix many of the bonus mission related trophies as well.

    • Starting this tonight, so what now is the optimal path to platinum in basic terms? ????
