  • Estimated trophy difficulty: 5.5/10
  • Approximate amount of time to platinum: 90-100h
  • Offline Trophies: 48 (40 , 3 , 4 , 1 )
  • Online Trophies: 0 (0 , 0 , 0 )
  • Number of missable trophies: None
  • Glitched trophies: N/A
  • Does difficulty affect trophies?: You must complete a playthrough on Legend difficulty.
  • Minimum Playthroughs: 2 (NG+ on Legend difficulty)
  • Welcome back Yagami detectives! We are back in new spin-off sequel controlling the detectives once again. Let's work towards that platinum.

    Step 1 - Complete the story while doing side-content as you see fit

    Of course, as in other Ryu Ga Gotoku games, the flow here is the same. You can first finish the main story and then focus on all side stuff, or you can do everything as you progress. It's really up to you. 

    Nothing is missable this time, so you don't have to worry about missing trophies. You can even transfer your progress for everything except School Stories and Side Cases when playing NG+, so you can combine with that if you want. After finishing the story, you can Free Roam (Platinum Adventure) and mop up what you miss.

    Step 2 - Clear all School Stories and Side Cases (as they don't transfer to NG+)

    After completing the main story you can reload your clear save data file to continue with your progress. It's similar as in other Yakuza/Judgment game/s, which means this is good time to finish everything that you can't transfer in NG+.

    Step 3 -  Finish/complete TownGo and unlock all miscelaneous trophies (if you still have any up to this point)

    Doing all TownGo missions is probably the biggest chore in this game, so work your way towards completing them. There are TownGo Shop Missions, TownGo City Missions and TownGo School Missions to be completed.

    Step 4 - NG + and Legend difficulty

    I usually do the Legend difficulty after doing everything else, but you can also do that and TownGo missions as that progress is transfered to the NG+. If this is your last trophy, congrats! 

    Save transfer & Trophies Auto-pop (PS4>PS5)

    Although I really don't do this, I will explain what can be done with save transfering from your PS4 version to the PS5 version.

    You can access your PS4 saves while inside the PS5 version, direclty from the menu (one save transfer at the time). If you unlock all trophies on the PS4 version and transfer that save, you will NOT auto-pop all trophies automatically. Story-related trophies can be unlocked if you keep your Legend difficulty save before the final boss and beat him again on PS5 version. TownGo and Skills gets unlock when you visit the corresponding menu of each of them. All character-related club trophies will be unlock when you talk to those characters. The final Dice & Cube map, the final Skateboard Race, and the final Aircelious stage needs to be completed again (get a pickup in Hama of the Dead to unlock trophy for getting 50 of pickups there). Lastly, repeat arcade games until you unlock the trophy related to them (that pops randomly).

    Kick Flip  
    STORY
     
    Got the skateboard for free.

    Automatic story-related trophy.

    Merciful     Made one enemy surrender.

    This skill is tied to Snake fighting style and to one of the EX skills you can activate during fighting using that style. Often when you kick around using Snake Style the enemies will be afraid (they either lie down in fear and they have purple cloud around their heads), which is when you need to activate the EX skill while being close. You are introduced to this during Chapter 1, which makes it almost automatic, but you can still miss it then.

    A Man Among Amons     Defeated the opponent who makes the final request.

    As in all Ryo Ga Gotoku games, usually the last quest is tied to beating Amon, the game's toughest opponent. To unlock the final Side Case you must first finish all 41 side cases, and then you can visit Yokohama 99 office in Ijincho to pick it up.

    Lost Judgment - Side Cases Mission Guide

    Very Observant     Find ten targets in Observation Mode.

    You enter the Observation Mode with R3 button, and you will do that often during missions and cases. I got this around 1/3 of the game, which means it shouldn't be a big problem to unlock. When you explore in this mode, you can often Examine some objects, which is what you need to do 10 times for this trophy. Always examine everything (everyone) and this should come fast.

    Receiving Signals     Find ten targets with the Detector.

    Detector is one of the Gadgets you get to use as a detective. It gets unlocked during Chapter 4 in one of the main story missions. When you use Detector, it points out point of interest; which means if you follow the Detector signal when it's stable (not blinking) green, you will get to a target which you can then examine while in Detectore mode. Finding 10 targets will be tied mostly to side cases which gets unlocked after the first Detector mission (Dastardly Detective series), which should get you towards this trophy.

    Lost Judgment - Side Cases Mission Guide

    Eavesdropping     Find ten targets with the Noise Amp.

    As with the Detector Gadget, the Noise Amp is obtained during the story in Chapter 3. That is the first time you will use it, and afterwards you can use it as you see fit. The trophy is awarded when you find 10 targets using the Noise Amp gadget.

    Who's a Good Boy?     Find ten targets with the dog.

    Detective dog Ranpo will be unlocked during Chapter 4 of the story automaticaly. If you open your menu and go under Gadgets, you can call Ranpo when you are in town. Usually he is great for finding hidden stuff as you walk, and during some missions you will have to find different targets by following him as he will follow their scent. After 10 targets, the trophy is yours.

    Irresistible Charm     Asked out by a girl.

    There is only 1 girl to date in the base game, and 3 more if you claim the DLC. You only need that 1 for this trophy, and to get there you first must progress School Stories until you get access to the Girl's Bar investigation. After completing that one you get to talk to Emily, which you can ask out on dates and raise the relationship bar. Do so until she asks you out, which will grant you the trophy, even if you decline at that point (to progress past the level 1, go to your agency and pass time. That will trigger an sms from Emily and you will be able to progress further.

    You can find more details under Girls' Bar club school story:

    Paradise VR (and Dice & Cube mini-game) can be unlocked by completing the "Paradise VR Unlocked!" side case. It can be started in Chapter 3, Ijincho (night). Go to Hamakita Park Ave (Chinatown, north from the western taxi) to find your client (he is wearing gold clothes). Enter the building afterwards and win your first VR mini-game. It's quite easy as this serves as a tutorial. 

    To participate you need Play Passes, which can be found on different locations, but these ones are the easiest for farming:

    • Detective Dog: When you unlock Rando, the dog detective during Chapter 4, call him over the Gadget menu and run around until he finds an item on the floor. Every now and then he will "dig up" the Pay Pass.
    • Purchase from the Homeless Man’s Store near the Tsurukame Bridge

    If you want unlimited access, find all VR Vouchers:

    • Skate Park point exchange - 25,000 points (finish related school story)
    • Squirrel inside Cafe Alps (you must first finish "Squirrels Just Wanna Have Fun" side case to unlock finding items when you find a squirell graffity)

    Aircelios is another VR game, which is unlocked by completing "Flight of the Game Creator" and "A Particularly Hardcore Demo Event", side cases. You can get them from the board at Yokohama 99 office in Ijincho. Afterwards, you can play this game as much as you want.

    To unlock all levels, purchase "Additional Mission Data" items from the person who you play Aircelious at. Get your 60,000 Yen ready. You need to beat all missions with a mininum score for TownGo completion anyway, so this should come naturally.

    Yagami Pro Skater     Get first place on the final course of the skateboard race.

    Skateboard Races will come as a part of related School Story while investigating the Skaters. You will have to do tricks and then you unlock races. There are a total of 12 races, and you need to beat them all by taking the first place to unlock this trophy.

    Suffer Like G Did     Obtained 50 pickups in Hama of the Dead.

    This mini-game can be played at Club SEGA in Ijincho. Remember the last game from the Judgment? This one is the same, just with the different name. You need to pick up items, and you need to do that 50 times. In the first game you could quit the mini-game after picking up the item, so do the same here to speed up the process. In each of the first 5 stages there are two pickups, one of which is the safe (granting one hit point) and a barrel (gives a grenade).

    The Gamer Life     Played every arcade game.

    Simply play each of the arcade games across both towns. Playing 1 type of game is required, which means if you can play the same type at multiple locations, you need to play it only once.
