Could you be the last of us? How to Platinum Naughty Dog’s juggernaut sequel.
As if to prepare us for the upcoming emotional rollercoaster in season 2 of the TV adaptation, Naughty Dog has rereleased its source material.
The Last of Us 2 Remastered is arriving, which is an excellent excuse for us fans to put ourselves through the heartbreaking yet beautiful story once again.
And outside of the story, there are plenty of extracurricular activities. Well, compulsory activities, if you want the Platinum trophy.
If you’re a trophy hunter, you might be wondering what you’re in for. In which case, check out our The Last of Us Part 2 trophy guide below. There are a few extras in the remastered version’s No Return mode, so take a look even if you’re a LOU2 veteran!
Full list of trophies in The Last of Us Part 2
There are 26 trophies in The Last of Us Part 2, with one Platinum, seven Gold, eight Silver and 10 Bronze. This is on the lower end of most trophy counts, so shouldn’t be too demanding – though bear in mind this is one very long game!
Unlike previous Naughty Dog games – such as Uncharted, which demanded multiple playthroughs on different difficulties for the Platinum – The Last of Us Part 2 only requires a partial replay on New Game Plus in order to unlock all the player upgrades.
This is assuming you can find all the collectables in that time, however – though you can easily circle back to previous Last of Us Part 2 chapters by using Chapter Select.
None of the trophies come with story spoilers, but those wanting to avoid potential gameplay details may want to look away now. Without further ado, here is the full list of trophies for The Last of Us Part 2:
