After the long wait for its release, we can finally get our hands on Horizon Forbidden West , the sequel to the highly acclaimed Sony console exclusive, Horizon Zero Dawn , developed by the Guerrilla Games team . The Forbidden West is certainly one of the most dangerous places our Aloy could venture into, and even for us players the road will be fraught with challenges. And just to tackle the latter, here is our complete guide to the trophies and platinum of Horizon Forbidden West , a title available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 .

The game does not feature trophies related to difficulty , so feel free to play this new chapter at the level you prefer, however we point out that some of the trophies on the list are skill-based, and consequently you will have to be able to perform certain actions thanks to your skills. . All in all, getting the coveted platinum should be a breeze for you . Horizon Forbidden West presents the almost astronomical number of 59 trophies ( 50 , 7 , 1 , 1 ), with the obviously presence of those related to the history and level of Aloy. Among these , none of the trophies are online, being the fully single player title. Additionally, only 1 of the trophies is missing . If you haven’t read it yet, we refer you to our review of the game .

ATTENTION: although we will try to avoid as many details as possible, in the guide there will be SPOILERS regarding Horizon Forbidden West, its plot and some of the events. Also, one of the trophies present gives a REALLY GREAT preview, so we advise you to continue reading looking only for what you need, or only if you have already finished the main story.

What to do first?

Like its predecessor, Horizon Forbidden West offers tremendous freedom to the player , but there’s more. First of all, know that to get platinum it will NOT be necessary to complete the game 100% : for example, only some of the collectibles are needed for certain trophies ( Collilunghi , Calderoni , Melee Pits and Hunting Grounds , with the latter where you can complete challenges even with the lowest rank), and some you will only need for a certain number.

At the end of the main story of Horizon Forbidden West , as always, the open world will be available in all its features, a free exploration that will allow you to dedicate yourself to what you want, when you want, and maybe recover trophies. Also after the end you will have a particular type of mount that will allow you to reach some collectibles very easily. So enjoy the game by completing the activities that are proposed to you in complete freedom , while always trying to keep a level high enough to face the various challenges that the story will put in front of you.

Some trophies, however, require that you complete specific side quests , and that you collect a certain number of collectibles (not all of them), so for each trophy later we will describe the conditions to obtain it or what you need to collect. You can also leave these tasks for the endgame.

ATTENTION , however, to the only MISSABLE TROPHY : these are all types of scanned machines : there are in fact two types of machines that DO NOT spawn within the game mode normally, and that will only be encountered during certain story missions: the Specter and the Specter Prime (end game boss). Especially the second appears only once in the game, while for the simple Specter you will also have other opportunities. Be careful , if you scan the enemy and then die , you will have to scan him again on the next attempt!
