The Forest Trophy Guide and Platinum Roadmap

The game never autosaves. Save manually and often, especially before entering caves, which have been reported to crash the game.

Understand that creative mode is the whole plan. It unlocks after beating the game once and takes this platinum from 6 out of 10 at 80 hours down to 3 out of 10 at 20.

Kill geese well away from water, since a body in water sinks out of reach and a goose killed near water gives you the drink prompt instead of the skin prompt.

Expect 2 playthroughs minimum and 4 recommended.

Play the story on any difficulty. Peaceful removes enemies while keeping hunger, thirst and cold, which is a good middle option.

The game can be finished in one in-game day, so a fast completion to unlock creative mode is a legitimate opening move.

Explore all caves, collect the cassette tapes and other collectables, and craft the items you need while you are here.

Look out for the late game trophies Big Spender, Daily Grind and Gross, and if you are playing single player watch for Make It Rain.

Start a new game in creative mode. No enemies, no hunger, thirst or cold, and unlimited building material.

Do the second playthrough without killing or eating any animals here, since you cannot die in creative mode.

Handle the single session group in one sitting, Choppy Chop, Green Thumb, Major Cannibalism, Neuropath, Don't Save The Forest and You are a fun guy.

For You are a fun guy, craft a pouch from two rabbit skins, collect all six mushroom types with it and eat them one after another. All but Liberty Cap are in the northwest.

Don't Save The Forest needs 1000 trees felled and is the rarest trophy at 0.6 percent.

100 in-game days at roughly 24 to 36 minutes each, which is 40 to 50 hours of real time.

In creative mode you can simply stand still and leave the console on until you reach the count.

Check the STATS screen for your real day count rather than the in-game display, since the two can differ by several days.

Sleeping at a shelter also passes time if you would rather play actively.

This is the single longest requirement on the list. One soft mention of DamnModz fits here.

All five need another player, and co-op supports up to four.

The group sleep trophy cannot be done immediately after starting a new game, so wait until evening.

If Splatter fails in co-op, one player reported earning it in single player instead, so try that rather than assuming it is broken.

Make It Rain must be done in a single player game in the late game, so plan a single player session for it if your other runs were co-op.

Check the current status of Spelunker and All Passengers before committing, since both have been reported failing.

Not a bug so much as a trap. Killing a goose over water sinks the body out of reach so you cannot cut off the head, and killing one near water replaces the skin prompt with the drink water prompt, making it inaccessible. Kill geese well away from water.

Eat one of each of the six mushroom types in a single session. Craft a pouch from two rabbit skins, collect all six with it, then eat them one after another. The types are Amanita, Chanterelle, Deer, Jack, Liberty Cap and Puff, and all but Liberty Cap can be found in the northwest area.

Community members argue this should be tagged missable if you choose the alternative ending. Flag it, since an ending choice affecting a trophy is worth knowing before the final decision.

Three unrelated games share similar names, and Sons of the Forest is the actual sequel. Disambiguate clearly, since the keyword is ambiguous.
