Assassin's Creed Valhalla Trophy Guide and Platinum Roadmap

First section after the Quick Info box, and both halves matter. As of Patch 2.00 on PS4 and Patch 1.1.0 on PS5 there are no longer any missable trophies at all, where previously Wealth 12 and 13 in Jotunheim were. Most guides still list them. What remains is structurally more dangerous, because Completionist All the Way requires 100 percent game completion across 782 collectibles on a game with a documented bug history, and if just one of those collectibles bugs out you lose the trophy. That is why the advice is to complete each region as you go and keep plenty of manual saves.

Bugs are not uncommon in this game, and there are three fixes that generally work. Reload a previous save. Fast travel to another map. Or change gender, which is a genuine in-game toggle and resolves collectible bugs that nothing else touches.

This inverts the usual advice for an open world game and the reason is specific. Normally you would clear the story first and mop up side content afterwards, but Valhalla is an exception because of how buggy it is and the sheer volume of side content. Completing each region fully as you pass through it means a bug surfaces while you still have relevant saves, rather than 80 hours later. Treat the map as your main priority with the story running alongside.

Completionist All the Way requires 100 percent of collectibles and 100 percent of activities across every territory, and it alone is why this takes 120 to 130 hours despite being rated 4 out of 10. The upside is that roughly 70 percent of the other trophies arrive automatically while you pursue it, so the list is really one enormous requirement with a lot of incidental unlocks attached.

Practical advice from someone who paid for ignoring it. While raiding, collect all the small chests you find as well as the large Wealth chests, because the small ones are very likely to hold the additional supplies you need to fully upgrade your Settlement. A guide author notes they ended up farming supplies at the end of the game for exactly this reason. The Settlement upgrades feed several trophies, so this is not optional flavour.

There are nine DLC packs carrying 42 trophies, none of which are needed for the base platinum, bringing the full total to 92. With endgame gear including Mjolnir and Excalibur the DLCs become short and easy, rated around 3 out of 10 against 5 if started earlier. The Forgotten Saga is the outlier as a roguelike, needing at least three runs and most likely many more, at 9 trophies and 10 to 12 hours.

• There are no missable trophies as of Patch 2.00 on PS4 and Patch 1.1.0 on PS5. Wealth 12 and 13 in Jotunheim previously were, and older guides still list them.
• The real risk is bugs. Completionist All the Way needs 100 percent completion across 782 collectibles, and one failure costs the trophy.
• Complete each region fully as you go and keep plenty of manual saves, since the game has a documented bug history.
• Three bug workarounds generally work, reloading a previous save, fast travelling to another map, or changing gender.
• Unusually for an open world game, do the story and the map simultaneously rather than story first.
• During raids, loot the small chests as well as the Wealth chests, since the small ones hold Settlement upgrade supplies.
• Three separate difficulty settings exist for exploration, combat and stealth. None lock trophies and all can be changed at any time.
• Overdesign II can be obtained on any difficulty despite its description mentioning hard difficulty soldiers.
• No story or dialogue choice affects any trophy.
• Free roam is available after the story, but quests are not replayable.
• Nine DLC packs carry 42 trophies and none are required for the base platinum.
