Platinum roadmap
- Difficulty doesn't matter. No trophy is tied to a difficulty setting, so you can play on the easiest one. PowerPyx rates the platinum 4/10 on Easy; Game8 calls it harder (7/10).
- No online or glitched trophies have been reported, and there is no PS4 version to stack.
- Watch the point of no return. Game8 flags the Bai Chilian fight at the end of Crimson Forest: some Outpost and Thieves' Camp side stories close after it.
- Keep a spare save. You get 20 manual save slots plus 3 rotating autosaves. Save before big story choices so a missed tale doesn't cost a full replay.
- Clean up after the credits. After the story you can roam and finish tales, apart from the missable ones. New Game+ is available too.
- Track bosses here. Several trophies tie to optional fights. Tick them off on the boss list.
Missable trophies
- With Heart and Blood
- Forbidden Arts Beneath the Lake
- The Last of Baishan
- Together Till the End
- A Wanderer's Honor
- Spectral Blade
- The Healer's Legacy
