In this The Last of Us 2 Trophy roadmap, we’re going to reveal how to get the Platinum Trophy in Naughty Dog’s hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 exclusive, The Last of Us 2. As part of our The Last of Us 2 guide, we’re going to reveal all the Trophies as well as their descriptions and we’re going to share strategies for how you can unlock them all. We'll also include a Trophy roadmap, which will reveal the general order in which you should approach the Trophies.
The Last of Us 2: How to Get the Platinum Trophy
It's possible to earn the Platinum in The Last of Us 2 within a single playthrough, although in all likelihood you'll need to use New Game + in order to grab the Survival Expert and Arms Master Trophies as there simply aren't enough Supplements and Spare Parts in a single playthrough to unlock all the Player Upgrades and Weapon Upgrades. It's worth noting that a recent update to the game added two new optional Trophies: Grounded and Permadeath. While you won't need to earn these to unlock the Platinum Trophy, you can find more information about them through here: The Last of Us 2: What Difficulty Should You Select?
You'll need to find all the collectibles to get the Platinum Trophy, and you can find our guides to each collectible type through the following links: The Last of Us 2: All Artefacts Locations, The Last of Us 2: All Trading Cards Locations, The Last of Us 2: All Coins Locations, The Last of Us 2: All Journal Entries, The Last of Us 2: All Workbench Locations, The Last of Us 2: All Safe Code Combinations, The Last of Us 2: How to Find the Engraved Ring, The Last of Us 2: How to Find the Strange Artefact, The Last of Us 2: How to Find All Training Manuals and Learn All Player Upgrades, and The Last of Us 2: All Weapon Locations and Upgrades.
You'll also need to ensure that you craft every item (See Also: The Last of Us 2: How to Craft Every Item) and that you visit every location in Downtown Seattle (See Also: The Last of Us 2: How to Visit Every Location in Downtown Seattle). There are also some one-off gameplay challenges that you'll need to be aware of, and you can find more information on those with the following guides: The Last of Us 2: How to Put a Hat on Your Companion, The Last of Us 2: How to Win the Marksmanship Competition, The Last of Us 2: How to Earn the High Score in the Archery Game.
Have a read through the Trophy breakdown below to get a grasp of what you need to do in order to unlock the Platinum Trophy, and then use our The Last of Us 2 guide to ensure you 100 per cent the game and unlock all the Trophies. One thing to note is that there are no missable Trophies, so if you miss something you can go back and grab it in New Game + or Chapter Select.
