Story Trophies

The 13 story trophies represent the backbone of the platinum, unlocking automatically upon completing chapters. Each trophy advances Clem’s narrative, revealing tarot themes such as The Fool (innocence) or Judgement (redemption). They are not missable, but integration of exploration for parallel collectibles is encouraged. Total time: 15 hours on normal difficulty.

The Fool (Bronze – 94.0%)

This inaugural trophy introduces you to the world of Bounty Star through the Prologue, a 30-45 minute tutorial that teaches basic controls: movement with the left stick, shooting with R2, dodging with circle, and melee with square. As Clem, you wake up in the Arizona desert, piloting the Raptor for the first time against basic bandits and smaller dinos. The mission culminates in an introductory bounty against a militia boss, where you learn to capture with the Chain Binder.

Strategy: Don’t rush; explore the tutorial to practice Gun Cancels (shooting, dodging, reloading) towards Tactical Reload. On PS5, use haptic feedback to feel impacts; on PS4, adjust sensitivity in the menu. Synergy: Collect the first baseball cap in the initial cave for Red Expanse Superfan. If you fail, restart the checkpoint without penalty. This trophy motivates 94% of players, but use it to calibrate early builds like Carbon Pistol for Fan the Hammer.

The Hanged Man (Bronze – 70.7%)

Chapter 1: «Time To Grow» expands your garage base, introducing resource management and upgrades. It lasts ~1.5 hours, focused on recruiting allies like Talilah and completing growth bounties: harvesting plants like Grim Gladys (for Incendiary Botany) and defeating waves of enemies in the desert. The climax is a base defense against a militia horde, using initial supports from Raptor.

Steps: 1) Build the first optional structure (whiteboard for Executive Dysfunction). 2) Explore ruins for figurine #1 (Dollhouse Devotee). 3) Use Revisitor post-chapter for replays (Trip Down Memory Lane). Difficulty increases with dinos; scare 2-3 for Game Warden. On PS4, manual save for backtracking; PS5 auto-saves. Synergy: Mark chores before bounties for multitasking. High rarity for accessibility, but many abandon here due to the learning curve in combat.

Four of Cups (Bronze – 56.8%)

Chapter 2: «Back In The Beast» returns to the upgraded Raptor, with rescue missions in abandoned vehicles. It lasts ~2 hours, emphasizing mobility: dash jets and melee tricks (Prestidigitation). Face bandits in convoys, using mines for Friendly Fragmentation. The narrative explores Clem’s apathy, with decisions that affect allies.

Detailed strategy: 1) Equip Chain Binder for captures (advance Binding Arbitrator). 2) Look for paint job #1 in the beast wreck. 3) Practice MDK cancels (MDK) on bosses. Explore 100% of the desert map for Gambler’s Weed (It Grows on Shrubs). PS5 benefits from ray tracing to detect hidden items. If you die, checkpoint is nearby; use early cooking buffs for health. This chapter filters players, dropping to 56.8%, but rewards with unlocks of weapons for Arizona Armory.

The Moon (Silver – 30.3%)

Chapter 3: «Step, But Cautiously» introduces lunar illusions and stealth enemies like shadows. It lasts ~2.5 hours, with nighttime bounties requiring the Raptor’s night vision. Complete by exploring caves for caps #2-4 (Red Expanse Superfan), defeating Beefmantis with Talilah (Insect Vengeance progress).

Advanced steps: 1) Use visor to detect traps. 2) Capture 5 enemies in a chain. 3) Harvest 3 Grim Gladys in lunar pools. Medium-high difficulty due to darkness; adjust brightness in options. Synergy with Chopping List when registering new enemies. PS4 players, use external guide for maps if needed. Rarity decreases due to complexity, but backtracking with Revisitor facilitates clean-up.

The Magician (Silver – 17.4%)

Chapter 4: «Utay Adakai» revolves around element manipulation, with ancient temples and fire/water puzzles. It lasts ~3 hours, unlocking Railgun for Trick Shot. Bounties involve elemental bosses; use Cryo Jets for counters.

Strategy: 1) Solve 3 puzzles for figurine #3. 2) Perform 5 melee tricks in arenas. 3) Mark complex chores. Explore 120% for supports (Support Specialist). PS5 DualSense vibrates during puzzles. Low rarity due to frustrating puzzles, but tips: save before each temple.

Six of Knives (Gold – 3.3%)

Chapter 5: «Into the Desert» delves into betrayals, with intense fights against factions. It lasts ~3.5 hours, focused on survival: defeat fleeing dinos (Game Warden). Collect weapons #4-6.

Steps: 1) Use Cavern Maker in caves for Speleologist. 2) Complete optional sub-tasks (Damn, Clem!). 3) Backtrack for visiting bounties. High difficulty due to resource drought; cook meals for buffs. Gold rarity for length and bosses.

Judgement (Gold – 0.5%)

Chapter 11: «Reap Thine Own Wheat» is the climax, ~4 hours of moral decisions, boss rushes, and redemption narrative. Face the Firebrand in the final battle under par time (Not Here To Talk). Use all upgrades for no-damage run in Sibling Rivalry (I Know Your Name).

Epic strategy: 1) Equip full loadout for recreation (Ghost of the Past). 2) Complete all sub-tasks. 3) Explore alternate endings via Revisitor. PS5 at 60fps helps in QTEs. Ultra-rare for integration of the entire game.
