)Introduction
Welcome to the Days Gone Trophy Guide! This is a very easy and enjoyable platinum to get. The trophies are really simple and completion-oriented. The game is structured in 6 regions and 5 allied encampments. There is free-roam after the story and nothing is missable. You only need 75% of collectibles and lots of them get marked when clearing the Ambush Camps while many others are automatic mission rewards that cannot be missed. Just grab what you find and get everything else after the story. You’ll have to do all side activities except Nero Research Sites and almost all Encampment Jobs (Side Missions) for platinum. Either do this as you go through the game or after the story, however you like.
Step 1: Play through the Story & Loot All Human Corpses for “You’ve Got Red on You” & Side Activities & Encampment Jobs
Story and Side Tasks: The first step is to play through the story on any difficulty. All trophies can be earned on easy difficulty. The story consists of 6 regions and takes roughly 60 hours to finish. It’s a very long game.
Along the way you should do all Encampment Jobs (side quests in friendly camps) and complete the Ambush Camps, Infestations, Nero Checkpoints in every region (Side Activities). Even though these things are still possible after the story, it makes the most sense to do them right away. This is because the unlock some helpful rewards.
- Encampment Jobs – Increase your trust with camps (better weapons and bike upgrades for sale). Needed for Marauder Camp Hunter trophy.
- Ambush Camps – Reveal more of the map, unlock crafting recipes and reveal certain collectibles on map. Needed for Ambush Camp Hunter trophy.
- Infestations – Unlocks new fast travel routes. Needed for Infestation Exterminator trophy.
- Nero Checkpoints – They are fast travel points and give upgrades to your Health, Stamina, Focus. Needed for World’s End trophy.
Don’t obsess over getting Trust Level 3 with all camps just yet. Getting to Level 2 is good enough during the story. The remaining Trust is most quickly farmed after the story by killing all Hordes. The Hordes automatically get marked on the map after the story. During the story this would be too hard. It doesn’t matter to which camp you give your bounties (Freaker Ears) since they only add minimal trust anyway.
During the story you’ll also get many Collectibles automatically because a large portion comes from automatic mission rewards and cannot be missed. Because you only need 75% Collectibles for all trophies it makes sense to get all the automatic story-related ones first and then only grab as many as you need for 75% after the story in Free-Roam.
Watch out for “You’ve Got Red on You”: What you really want to watch out for is the trophy “You’ve Got Red on You”. This is for collecting 541 items from human corpses. Items can only be collected from human corpses (not Freakers). There are far fewer humans in the game than Freakers, but luckily enough to get this by the end of the story if you always loot them. If you ignore this it will be really tedious to find humans after the story in free-roam because they rarely spawn outside of missions. Furthermore, if your inventory is full it doesn’t add any looted items (only counts when you got an item from a body). When you encounter humans always get rid of all crafting materials and consumables in your inventory by using them. Then you can even find 2-3 items per corpse. Because you can loot multiple items per corpse you don’t even need the full 541 kills.
Temporary Points of No Return: During the story the game will warn you twice about Points of No Return (it will give you an onscreen prompt, can’t miss it). The first is at end of the 3rd region “Lost Lake”. The second is at end of the 5th region “Crater Lake”. What the game forgets to tell you is that these are only TEMPORARY and you can go back to all Regions after the Story. So don’t worry if you missed something. Just finish the Story and all Camps will still be there. Nothing is missable. You can still do all trophies & collectibles after the story (all camps, trust level 3, all collectibles, encampment jobs, side activities, hordes, upgrades etc). Just be aware that you get temporarily locked out of the first 3 regions until the end of the game and then you can go back.
Step 2: Trust Level 3 with three different Encampments & 45 Skills
If you followed the advice from Step 1 and did all Encampment Jobs and Side Activities during the story you should be close to Trust Level 3 with all camps, but will be missing a couple thousand Trust. You should also have 40-42 skill points if you did everything so far.
What you’ll want to do is kill all Hordes in a given region for the last Trust and Skill Points. The Hordes are significantly easier after the story because you’ll have lots of upgrades, skills and better weapons. They all get marked on the map for you automatically by the end of the story so they are easier to locate. Kill as many as you need to reach 45 Skill Points and Trust Level 3 should come naturally with 3 out of 5 camps along the way.
Step 3: Collectibles & Trophies Mop-Up
Now that the story is done you’ll have received lots of Collectibles automatically. In fact 2 Collectible Categories are entirely automatic from story progression and cannot be missed (Radio Free Oregon, Lab Notes).
Grab the rest in the open world now. See Days Gone Collectibles Guide.
You might still be missing a few miscellaneous trophies such as “Burnout Apocalypse” so get these now and the Days Gone platinum trophy is yours!

One Down Defeat your first Horde |
|
| Automatic story-related trophy, cannot be missed. You will automatically get this during a story mission at the end of Crater Lake (5th region). If you die too often in this mission the game lets you skip that gameplay section, which kills the entire Horde automatically and gives you a free Trophy. Of course you can also kill a Horde on your own earlier in the game but this is more difficult. They are the large crowds of Freakers that are running together. At day they sleep in caves and at night they are walking around all regions. The best way to kill them is with explosives and when only a few are left you can finish them off with your firearms. Having saddlebags installed on your Bike is great as it lets you bring backup ammo to the fight.
All Hordes get marked automatically on the world map at the end of the story! |
||
 |
Farewell Drift Accumulate 10 minutes of drifting while on your bike |
|
There’s a very easy way to do this: While your bike stands still press It’s best to do this at a fuel station so you can refill the tank. The best place is at O’Leary Mountain Safehouse (Boozer’s Tower). There’s a fuel station right there and it’s a safe area where no Freakers can reach you. Drive in a donut until fuel runs out, refill fuel, repeat. You can keep track of your time under Storylines > Trophies > Farewell Drift. |
||
 |
This is a Knife Kill a Breaker, Reacher, or Rager with a knife |
|
|
Breakers are huge muscular Freakers that like to bodyslam you. Reachers are the most agile Freakers, they like to dodge and hide and have some fur on their backs (don’t confuse with Runners), Ragers are infected Bears that have more health than normal bears and got a blade sticking out their back. You encounter all 3 of these enemy types in free-roam in the 5th region “Crater Lake” and in the 6th region “Highway 97”. After the story they will spawn in all other regions, too. The best and also easiest way to get this early is in Story Mission “Playing All Night”. It’s the first time you visit the 4th region Iron Butte. There you’ll fight a single Breaker (unmissable). What’s great about this spot is that it shows you the health of the Breaker, while in free-roam it does not. Try to get the trophy at this opportunity. You can weaken the enemy with other weapons first. Only the final hit must be from the Boot Knife. That’s the default knife you always carry with you. |
||
 |
Ghost of Farewell Get 100 stealth kills |
|
You must approach an enemy from behind a press  for a stealth kill. Do this 100 times in total. You don’t even have to sneak for this, you can simply run up to the enemy from behind. As long as they haven’t entered combat yet (even if they heard you running), it will let you do the stealth takedown.
At night you’ll find Freakers everywhere in the wild, or you can do it in Ambush camps where many human enemies are found. Do it as you advance through the game and don’t worry about it too much, there are infinite opportunities for Stealth Kills. You can keep track of this under Storylines > Trophies > Ghost of Farewell. |
||
 |
Old Reliable Kill 200 Enemies with a Crafted Weapon |
|
| The only weapons you can craft are melee weapons and throwables / explosives. The best way to get this trophy is with crafted melee weapons. You earn crafting recipes from completing Ambush Camps. The first camp is part of an early story mission and gives you the recipe for “Spiked Bat” (unmissable). It requires a bat, nails, and scrap to craft.
Combine it with the Melee Skill “Field Repairs”. This lets you repair your weapon for Scrap at any time, which you find plentiful from looting the motors of cars. When your crafted melee weapon is near its breaking point, repair it with Scrap. It’s quicker than crafting it again and lets you rack up lots of crafted weapon kills quickly. You can keep track of this under Storylines > Trophies > Old Reliable. |
||
 |
Variety is the Spice of Life Kill an enemy with every type of crossbow bolt |
|
|
There are 5 types of Crossbow Bolts. Kill any enemy (e.g. Freaker) with each of them. The Crossbow is automatically unlocked from the beginning. You unlock all Bolt types from Story Missions and Ambush Camps.
You can keep track of this under Storylines > Trophies > Variety is the Spice of Life. |
||
 |
Farewell Original Purchase an upgrade under the Performance, Visual, and Paint Categories for your bike |
|
| You can do this at the first encampment “Copeland’s Camp”. The mechanic sells Bike Upgrades and customizations. There are 3 categories: Performance, Visual, Paint. Buy 1 upgrade in each category to unlocks this trophy. You can go with the cheapest options. | ||
 |
First Time Buyer Upgrade your bike for the first time |
|
| See trophy “Farewell Original”. | ||
 |
Burnout Apocalypse Use nitro and drift at the same time on your bike for at least 5 seconds |
|
|
This trophy requires the Nitrous 3 upgrade for your bike. The Nitrous 2 upgrade won’t work because the boost only lasts 4.5 seconds. The Nitrous 3 upgrade lasts for over 6 seconds. Step 1: Buy the Nitrous 3 upgrade from the 4th camp “Diamond Lake” in the Crater Lake Region. This requires you to reach Trust Level 3 with this camp first. Do all Story Missions & Encampment Jobs there (side quests) and then kill all Hordes in Highway 97 region. This is best done after the story because then the Hordes get marked on the map automatically. Use the Chicago Chopper gun to kill Hordes quickly (bought at 5th camp “Wizard Island”). Step 2: Once you got the Nitrous 3 upgrade you can do the trophy. You must drift in a big circle (driving a donut with the front wheel locked in place doesn’t count). You need to speed up just a little bit. Then hold |
||
 |
The Art of Bike Repair Apply 100 scrap to your bike |
|
| Scrap is used to repair your bike. Crashing with your Bike, doing jumps or driving through water will damage it. Then it must be repaired. Scrap is found everywhere but the fastest way is to loot it from the motors of cars. This trophy will come naturally as you play through the story, don’t even worry about it.
Note: The Survival Skill “Monkey Wrench” doubles the effectiveness of scrap while repairing the bike, thus it takes only half the scrap to make repairs. This is counter-intuitive for this trophy. Regardless, you’ll still get this automatically as you go for the platinum because you’ll have to repair the bike a lot. You can keep track of this under Storylines > Trophies > The Art of Bike Repair. |
||
 |
You’ve Got Red on You Collect 541 Items from corpses |
|
This is the only trophy you’ll really want to look out for from the beginning! Items can only be collected from human corpses (not Freakers). There are far fewer humans in the game than Freakers, but luckily enough to get this by the end of the story if you always loot them. To loot a corpse walk over it and hold  .
You’ll encounter humans in Story Missions, Encampment Jobs, and Ambush Camps. In the open world they are rare spawns (mostly at gas stations). It only counts actual items LOOTED. So if your inventory is full and you can’t loot anything from a body it won’t add anything to the progress. What’s great is that most humans drop multiple items and it counts all of them. So you might get 3 items from a single corpse. Always use up your crafting materials, throwables, health items when encountering large groups of humans. Then your inventory will be empty and you can gather lots of items from the corpses. If you’re not careful with this (i.e. never loot bodies or always have full inventory) you could fall short on this. After all Missions and Ambush Camps are done it would be a very long grind to get humans to spawn in the open world. You can keep track of this under Storylines > Trophies > You’ve Got Red on You. |
||
 |
Lend Me Your Ears Collect 989 Freaker Ears |
|
| Every Freaker you kill drops an ear. Simply walk over it. This will happen automatically on the way to platinum because you must kill lots of hordes to grind out the last few skill points. The bigger hordes in the 5th and 6th region contain hundreds of Freakers. So killing 3-4 hordes in endgame regions will give you more than enough ears for this trophy. All Hordes get marked automatically on the map at the end of the story.
You are allowed to sell the ears to bounty vendors. You don’t need to have 989 in your inventory at the same time (you can sell the ears and they still count for the trophy). You can keep track of this under Storylines > Trophies > Lend Me Your Ears. |

Surviving isn’t Living Rescue 10 survivors |
|
| From time to time you can hear Survivors crying for help. They are found randomly in the wilderness. Sometimes they’re fending off Freakers or Humans, other times they are being held hostage by Humans and yet other times they are stuck in Cars. These are RANDOM encounters. After rescuing them you can send them to a camp of your choice to earn Trust and/or money. The way you find these people is by listening for their cries for help when they’re nearby.
You should encounter 10 of them through natural progression. I mostly found them at day. One place where they most frequently spawn is at the Gas Station in the north-east of Belknap (Marion Forks Infestation), it’s a little town with a church in it. There you’ll often see Survivors fighting against a gang of Bikers or against some Freakers so check there often. Survivors that you rescue during some Encampment Jobs (side quests) also count towards this. You can keep track of this under Storylines > Trophies > Surviving isn’t Living. |
||
 |
Better Living through Chemistry Upgrade either your Health, Stamina, or Focus for the first time |
|
| Automatic story-related trophy. Health / Stamina / Focus upgrades require NERO injectors. You find the first NERO injector during storyline “He’s My Brother”. | ||
 |
Performance Enhanced Max out either your Health, Stamina, or Focus |
|
| You find Health, Stamina, and Focus upgrades exclusively from Nero Checkpoints and Nero Research Sites. At each of these spots will be a box that contains the upgrade. There are enough upgrades in the game to fully max out all 3 stats, but you only need to max out one of them. Health and Stamina are the most useful. For the purpose of this trophy, always pick the same statistic to upgrade to get this done more quickly. | ||
 |
Best Friends Forever Receive the Allied Trust status with an Encampment |
|
| See trophy “Best Friends Forever (For Life)”. | ||
 |
Best Friends Forever (For Life) Gain the Allied Trust status with three different Encampments |
|
| There are 5 Encampments in the game. You only need to reach maximum Trust with 3 of them.
These are the ways you earn trust:
The first 4 options are the most reliable. Do Story Missions, complete Encampment Jobs and Side Activities along the way. You can still do all Encampment Jobs & Activities after the story in free-roam. During the story there are two points of no return that will temporarily lock you out of certain regions, but after the story everything opens up again and you can finish remaining Encampment Jobs, Activities, Collectibles, Hordes etc. Since Trust leads to better Weapons and Bike Upgrades it is recommended to do the Encampment Jobs and Side Activities at the first chance you get. This will bring you to Trust Level 2 with most camps, falling about 10,000 Trust short to Level 3. The remaining Trust is earned by defeating all Hordes in the region. Hordes will be too hard in the early game, save those until after the story! Another benefit is that they get marked on the map for you at the end of the story so you’ll save a lot of time looking for them. You’ll have to grind out lots of Hordes for the last few skill points anyway and along the way you’ll automatically get the remaining Trust. In summary: Don’t obsess with getting to Trust 3 during the story. Just do Encampment Jobs to get to Level 2. After the story, kill all Hordes to get to Level 3. |

Make it Rain Spend 20,000 credits at one Encampment |
|
There are 7 ways to earn credits:
Each camp has its very own currency! So if you earn money at one camp it can only be spent at that specific camp. Getting 20,000 Credits will come naturally when you do All Story Missions, Encampment Jobs and Side Activities in a region. You must spend all this money at one single camp. The easiest option is the 3rd camp called “Iron Mike’s” in the 3rd region “Lost Lake”. There is a lot to do in that region and by completing all Story Missions, Encampment Jobs, Activities you’ll get well over 20,000 Credits. Buy all Bike Upgrades and Weapons at this camp to spend the 20,000. You don’t need to spend 20,000 at the same time, just in total (can be done across multiple visits to the camp). Side Note: At the end of the 3rd region “Lost Lake” is a temporary Point of No Return. This temporarily locks you out of this camp but you get back there at the end of the story. After the story the whole map opens up again and you can go back to all camps to earn more trust and money with them, so nothing is missable. You can keep track of this under Storylines > Trophies > Make it Rain. |

Welcome to the Party, Pal Clear all Ambush Camps, Infestations, and NERO Checkpoints in a single region |
|
| For all Ambush Camps, Infestations and NERO Checkpoints see the following guides:
» Days Gone – All Ambush Camp Locations » Days Gone – All Infestation Locations » Days Gone – All Nero Checkpoint Locations You’re going to have to clear ALL of these in the entire game anyway (not just one region) for their respective questlines & silver trophies so this will come naturally along the way. |

 |
Kitchen Courier Sell Animal Meat or Plants to any Encampment |
|
| Pick up any herbs, berries, or mushrooms in the wilderness and bring them to the Kitchen of a camp to sell them. You can do this in the very first camp you reach (story-related). Plants are easier to detect with the Survival Skill “Hawkeyed”. | ||
 |

|
| See trophy “Mr. Fahrenheit”. | ||
 |
There’s No Stopping Me Unlock 30 skills |
|
| See trophy “Mr. Fahrenheit”. | ||
 |
Mr. Fahrenheit Unlock 45 skills |
|
| There are exactly 45 skills in the game (3 categories x 15 skills each). So for this trophy you’ll have to unlock all possible skills. This will be one of your last trophies in Days Gone. First you’ll have to beat all Story Missions, Encampment Jobs (Side Quests), and Side Activities (Infestations, Nero Checkpoints, Ambush Camps). This will bring you to about 40-42 skills total. To get the last few skill points you’ll have to defeat nearly all Hordes. The Hordes get marked on the map automatically after the story. Save them for last since they’re the hardest thing in the game (see Best Ways to Kill Hordes). Even though there are some Points of No Return during the story, you can go back everywhere once the story is finished. Then the whole map opens up again and you can do all remaining Encampment Jobs, Side Activities, Hordes etc. |

D.I.Y. Oregonian Craft 50 items |
|
Items can be crafted from the weapon wheel using crafting materials. Simply hold  in the weapon wheel while hovering over a craftable item. You can craft throwables, explosives, health items, melee weapons, crossbow bolts and traps. This will happen naturally as you play through the story.
Crafting Materials are looted from human enemies and found at most buildings throughout the world (especially at Nero Checkpoints). Materials also respawn after a while and can be picked up again at the same locations. |

. This will make your bike spin in a circle. Make sure the front wheel stays locked as you do this. The above video shows this method in action. You can’t be driving in a circle for it, only a “donut” counts, so the front wheel must stay locked in place.
+ 
. This will take some practice and the tracking for this may be a bit off. It can take an hour of trial and error before it unlocks. See the above video for the drift and an easy location to do it.
80 hours? damn. Everybody thought it would be a 30 or 40h plat.
How long does it take to complete the story of the main game
It took me around 70 hours with thorough exploration and doing all side tasks along the way. So essentially my story time was my time to plat.
Just the story excluding side stuff can be done in about 60 hours.
no markers fast travel like in RDR2?
Fast travel must be unlocked by visiting Nero Checkpoints or Ambush Camps. For some area, it is available as you play the story.
There are fast travel points you can unlocked. Which you can use when you’re near your bike and have enough fuel.
As always thanks for your work on the guide. Looking forward to start the game tomorrow. :-)
For the Burnout Apocalypse. I can confirm that doing a donut with Nitrous unlocked trophy for me.
If you mean the front wheel stayed locked in place (holding
while bike stands still), that didn’t work for me unfortunately :(. I tried that for an hour. Had to drive in a bigger circle.
Interestingly, it worked for the 10 minute drift trophy, but not for the 5sec nitro one. Appreciate the feedback though. Maybe it works with donut for other players too, having more confirmation on this can’t hurt.
Personally, I had to drift in a bigger circle and the same was the case for other early platinum achievers I checked with. The tracking for this may be a bit off.
I’m missing quite a few of the NERO intel locations and some of the Tourist ones. Damn collectibles 🙁
Do you plan on updating the guide with the missing info?
Also, if it helps, the character files #21 and #22 are in Garret’s cabin on top of the cone; file #25 is in Jimenez’s infirmary; file #30 is a photo of Sarah on her old laptop in the lab; and file #24 is in Kouri’s quarters in Diamond Lake.
I’ll post the Nero Intel and rest today.
Did you enjoy the game? It has gotten so many average and/or negative reviews and now I’m not sure if it’s worth buying? The gameplay looks great but so many reviewers say that it’s extremely repetitive.
The game does feature pretty repetitive quests, that’s true, but it gives you total freedom on how to go about them pretty much from the very beginning. Of course, you can’t face Hordes from the beginning. You’re greatly underpowered, so that’s the only thing left for the endgame. I think reviewers have been pretty harsh this time around. The game is solid, has a pretty good story and the main character is enthralling.
Wait… just the STORY takes 60 hours? Is that right? Holy hell.
Yup. It is damn long.
Installing the game right now – can’t believe I got it today through delivery!
Sweet 25% off promo from Amazon during E3 back a few years ago. My Collector’s edition is still coming, but that can wait.
HYPED to play.
When u say 60 hours without cutscenes and then 80 with cutscenes does that mean I have to play through the story twice.
Ignore me I had a blonde moment
Only 1 playthrough.
I love the ingame menu trophy tracker. The interface itself is very well designed, swiping to navigate is also really neat.
Farewell Original
do you have buy one thing of each from within the catergory?
ie. engine, exhaust etc
I got Burnout Apocalypse with only the Nitros 2 upgrade. Got it first attempt too. The upgrade to 3 is absolutely not required.
Nitrous 2 only lasts for 4.5 seconds so that’s impossible. This must’ve been a lucky glitch in your game. Nitrous 2 does not suffice for this, it doesn’t last 5 sec.
I’ve seen many others claim to do it with Nitrous 2. If you’re doing a donut and then nitrous when you have momentum you’ll get it. There’s plenty of videos that use this method, that’s how I learned it. Not impossible whatsoever.
I confirmed you can get the trophy by using NOS 2, NOS 3 is not required, just do the donut (circle drift) by holding R2+Left analog stick (hold left) then press and hold X for Nitrous, It did pop out the trophy after few tries.
Powerpyx, you can and I know for a fact you can get burnout apocalypse with just Nitrous 2. N2 is 5 sec and N3 is 6sec. I platinumed Days Gone without purchasing Level 3 Nitrous so no its not a glitch if multiple people earned it with N2.
That’s very weird. The boost only lasts 4.5 seconds at N2 upgrade (I captured it on video and counted every frame to get the exact time). It’s not how the trophy is intended to work. I think it’s just buggy in a good way for some people, and in a bad way for others. It took me an hour to get it with N3 upgrade and I did 5+ second nitro drifts many times, then it just sort of randomly popped after I did the same thing I did a hundred times before.
In the trophy guide I’ll leave it at N3 upgrade required because that’s the only one that lasts 5+ sec and the only one I can personally confirm (and for me N2 definitely wasn’t enough, but then again still took ages with N3 too).
For the trophy “Lend me your ears” can we sell them and the completion will still unlock the trophy OR we need them all in our inventory?
Yes you can sell them. Good question, I’ll add this to the guide =)
I have a problem with Afraid of a Little Competition? mission. I have to return the silicate in Sarah tent. But when I come to the tent nothing happens. No video, no cutscene, anything. I tried restart game, then reinstall and try with no patch. Nothing. Try with patch 1.05 and still nothing.
Have you perhaps tried fast-travelling to the camp or actually riding to it? If so, then I’m afraid you must’ve incurred in a very serious game-breaking glitch that should be reported.
Many people report a bugs in missions. Mission cannot be completed. Missing objects in missions, people to interact with. Everything after 1.05 patch. People write about lot of bugs on reddit…….It’s annoying…..
I have mission problem too but with a side quest called “Didn’t Want to Join Up?” The npc is just not there that i need to rescue, nor the guards… even patch 1.06 did not fix it and this keeps me from getting the platinum because the camp jobs got stuck at 9/13… im pissed a bit..
It’s annoying. I started a new game. So far everything goes. If I have another bug I don’t play anymore.
Do you have to score 100% on the missions?
No, it doesn’t matter what % it shows at end of mission. It doesn’t impact trophies or anything else.
The percentage post missions is for leveling up. It’s how close you are with XP for a new s point.
Hi PowerPyx,
Thanks for the great guide, I am playing it right now and I enjoyed everything about it, but I watched IGN review with 6.5 its terrible, for you what is your rate in this game? for me its 9/10 just like metacritics, thanks.
I think 6.5 is a bit harsh. The game is solid and it’s definitely a 7.5+ in my honest opinion. Also, remember that reviews are subjective most of the time. If you enjoy the game, that’s what matters.
Hello everyone.
I’m playing on normal difficulty around 8 hours into game and I always have full inventory, I have to damage my bike myself just to repair it and use some items, same with health, just to make space for looting 541 corpses, I even stopped picking up items from the world. I’m thinking to start everything again on hard difficulty but don’t know if it will make a huge difference. Sorry for my english and thank you PowerPyx for awesome guides.
When your inventory is full, craft new items (melee weapons, health items, throwables). This will consume what’s in your inventory and you can collect new items. There’s also a Survival Skill that grants more inventory space.
Also go unlock new crafting recipes by doing all Ambush Camps, gives you more ways to spend your materials (e.g. on new types of crossbow bolts).
You said collectables arent missable, I’ve just beat the game and I’m missing on of the colonels speeches. ……..
In terms of collectible-related trophies nothing is missable, which is what I referred to in the trophy guide. But you are right, Colonel speeches can potentially be missed. I’ve made this clearer in the Roadmap, so thanks for pointing this out and helping to make the guide better 🙂
Luckily these are only 6 collectibles out of 240 (and the last speech is unmissable) – and we only need 75% for the platinum.
The colonel speeches can’t be missed. After the story they can be found as audio files in one of the green tents on top of the mountain of wizard island
Thank you for tips, after 10 hours on playing on normal I have started again on hard and I love it. It’s not that hard but it makes the game more dangerous and immersive. Fully reccomend hard mode to anyone 🙂
With a new weight setting, Days Gone will also have challenges in motorcycle, horde and fight in June. All of these challenges, including overcoming the game in Survival mode, will have the associated trophies and will be required to win platinum. Is this true Power Pyx ?
Any added trophies won’t be needed for platinum. DLC trophies are never needed to obtain platinum.
How much do you have to upgrade your health to get the performance enhanced trophy? I am up to 250 and still haven’t maxed it out yet.
350
350
Anyone know how to get nest residue? I figured burning a nest but there was nothing there
You have to go in the room the nest was in after it’s is done burning it will be on the ground usually in the middle of the room.
It’s always left behind when you clear out an Infestation nest.
Do you need to complete all the hoards for the plat?
No, but you will need to complete most of them to get the xp needed to gain 45 skill points.
No, you just need to beat one Horde for the platinum, but you’ll have to beat them all because you will most likely finish the story with 40-42 skill points and the remaining 3-5 can be acquired through Hordes as you won’t have any endgame activities left.
For the trophy “Surviving isn’t living” it is not mandatory to rescue people by doing random activities marked as ? in blue. I just got the trophy by rescuing someone during a camp mission.
Thanks for that info. I had already gotten the trophy before doing encampment jobs so I never got to test this. Good to know, added this info to the guide 🙂
How many collectibles are needed to unlock the 50% trophy?
The game says that in total there are 240, I found 120, the game shows 50%, but it didn’t unlock the trophy.
The trophies are for finding more than 50% or more than 75%. So the trophies pop at 121/240 & 181/240.
For the you got red trophy. ( Loot corpse ) I found that when I went to a camp. And I said clear the camp. I kill all except one left the area. And return to find them all spawned in again. And repeated the process
Thank you for this, it is legit the only trophy I have to do and didn’t realize it doesn’t count if your inventory is full. I have some camps left so I will try this method.
I have completed the main story but didn’t complete all the side missions cos your trophy guide says everything can be done in free roam. Well I’m in free roam after the main story and can’t complete some side story missions that were available to me before the main story was finished. So unless you can continue them to 100% before you complete the main story… you won’t be able to do them after. You’ll have to start all the way from the beginning cos there is no new game plus.
Which one are you stuck on? It’s probably just glitched.
I mopped up the side missions after story and I had others test and confirm this too, none of them are missable. One quest giver in the 5th camp disappears but gets replaced by another NPC who gives the same quests. If one quest doesn’t trigger after the story, then it’s likely a glitch. E.g. there are plenty reports that one side job in Crater Lake region doesn’t trigger (for me they all triggered after story).
Do note that side jobs can take a while to trigger, after doing one mission it takes 1-2 fast travels to get a call for the next mission. But nothing is missable.
Any idea what sorta trophys the dlc will have ? There will Most likely be one for finishing the story on survival difficulty …how hard do you think it will be ?? …
For Farewell Burnout, i found the best way is a missiom where you need to drive someone or along with someone (not the follow ones where someone leads the path) is best. You get unlimited fuel being a story mission amd just spend a few mins to drift in donuts and it’ll pop the trophy.
Hello, do u really need to kill all hordes? the rimview ranch horde is bugged for me… it just doesn’t spawn anywhere… even with the 1.08 update.
Someone know what i should do now?
You don’t need to kill all hordes, just the story-related ones. But killing more helps to get all skills (but not all are needed to full level up).
Hi guys, absolutely love this game. Completed the story. Did most of the side quests. Can’t seem to get the ‘Marauder Camps’ to appear on the map. Any idea how to complete these. I have 7/10. Thanks
They will appear when you are close enough to them. Find a map online with the locations and drive to them.
I am not sure if they are story related in the sense that you have to be at a certain point in the story.
They went “visible” in the quests for me when I got close to them. I did the last couple of camps (to find them) with a map I found online.
For Burnout Apocalypse, try not pressing circle at all; just R2+X. That’s how I got the trophy
I think my skill points have glitched I unlocked my 30th skill point spent it but when i got into the trophy list it only says 29 ?
I have the same issue. Did it glitch with 45th skill point as well?
Chemlut Nero outpost the community college one I walk up to the fuse box and won’t let me interact with it in the beginning to send me clues to find the fuse is it a glitch or can I find a Nero fuse at a different area in the game
Love the game, only a few hours into it, and I started on easy, do you recommend normal or hard to get the most out of this game.
Btw beating zombies and riding a motorcyclle, what’s not to love about this game, also many thanks for the time it took you guys to complete and update this guide.
Will the new trophies for Days Gone which includes “Survival is Living” and “Days Gone in 60 Seconds” affect the Trophy Difficulty of this game? I’m currently playing the game on easy and was thinking of getting the platinum trophy but beating this game in Survival Mode indicates that I have to play this game for the second time is it? I really think it’s unfair for those people that received the platinum trophy but didn’t even play on survival mode? Can you clarify this? Thank you!
It won’t affect platinum difficulty because the survival mode was added as DLC and is not needed for platinum. But I’ll update the trophy guide later with the DLC trophies and add a separate difficulty for the 100% trophies. Platinum is completely unaffected by the new difficulty, you can still get platinum by playing on easy.
Just those who already have the platinum would need a 2nd full playthrough from start to end on the new survival mode to get 100% trophy completion. Fast travel is disabled in survival mode so it’s gonna be even longer than the original playthrough (probably around 80 hours).
Sup so with the new survival mode out do u need to beat in survival mode to get all trophies
Hi powerpyx..will you be putting up an in depth survival mode guide for the dlc trophys ? Would be awsome if you could ! ??
Great Guide!
I only have one question on the “Make it Rain” trophy. Do you need to spend 20,000 credits all at once, or can you spend gradually during the game? Because I’m gathering 20k or more to spend in at one time, but I don’t know if it really needed.
You don’t need to spend 20k at once (only in total). E.g. you can spend 1000 across 20 different visits to the camp. But good question, I added the answer to the guide also 🙂
Love your guides as always . I found if you tag the enemy with the binoculars , for the “This is a knife” trophy , the red above it’s head depletes so you can shoot it down until it’s ready for a couple of stabs.
Keep up the great work .
Your guide is amazing.I got all of the trophy but one trophy named (infestation exterminator) glitched! I complete storyline of it and its 100% but it dont give me this trophy help me plz how can i fix it
Reinstalling the game can help to fix trophy bugs, but you also need an old save before completing last infestation to trigger trophy requirement again.
Did you finish story yet and did you burn out all bird nests? Bird nests are all needed, they can easily be overlooked.
To kill a horde, you need the best weapons. But the best weapons are all locked until you reach Trust Level 3. And you won’t do that until you’ve killed the hordes.
So HOW exactly are we supposed to kill the hordes?
You shouldn’t need to kill Hordes in order to gain the sufficient trust level for each encampment, you should be able to get trust by selling meat, herbs and mushrooms to the kitchen, and giving ears to the Bounties collector that you’ve collected from the non-Horde Freakers.
Been trying to get the Burnout Apocalypse for 30 minutes to no avail. Finally watched PowerPyx video on Youtube without visiting this page, still couldn’t get it. Read video comments and got it on my 2nd try in donut. The key is to hold R2 halfway. So yeah, can be done in donut.
I have gotten everything but one freaking thing stuck behind a door in ilum… Its a kissable collectable of you pass a certain point in the story. I wish I knew. Don’t wanna start it all over
This is really random but you’re my go to page when I need help for a platinum but my question is how many platinum trophies do you have all together?
245 Platinums. You can check my PSN-ID, it’s “PowerPyx”.
First of all I would like to thank you for the awesome guides. I have a question to the Mr.Fahrenheit trophy. Is it possible to get that in the New Game Plus mode as well? Instead of killing the remaining hordes. Thanks.
Regarding “You’ve Got Red on You”
I’m past the “Drink Himself to Death” mission. So far I’ve been as thorough as I can be, but I estimate I’ve abandoned 10-15% of the potential items due to a packed inventory. Am I still on a good pace, or do I need to be *more* diligent?
Follow-up with more context
I’m just about to head to the Crater Lake Region (“Riding Nomad Again”), and I’m at 391/541
Seems pretty good…. I think?
I think you will have no problems with that trophy.
Thank you for this awesome guide. I have a question. Looting reapers alos count for”YOU Have Got Red on You” Trophy?
Got Burnout Apocalypse finally. Tried the posted method for about 40 minutes no help, looked elsewhere, a guide said to get Nitrous 3, Engine 2, and start tires. Go to space right in front of Hotel near Hot Springs (Tucker Camp). Got it on the first try with R2 + Left stick Left + X
