Trophy difficulty
B 70th point (main story: Platinum)
B 77th point (main story + self-confidence)
Required time
B 100 hours (main story: Platinum)
A 150 hours (main story + confidence)
The trophy consists of two parts: the main story (platinum) part and the highest difficulty level ``Confidence Mode (= Heroic Mode)'' added in a free update. If you try to beat Confidence in a serious way, it will be impossible to clear the level, but there is a way out depending on how you do it
The road to platinum
Recommended number of laps: 3 laps
Learn the game/cover the time limit
Dark Urge + Low difficulty
Difficulty level "confidence"
1st round: 70 hours of expedition
2nd round: Dark Urge Exploration Village 20 hours
3rd round: 50 hours of confidence
Total: 140 hours
If you don't want to play the confidence game, do the second round with Dark Urge on the "Tactical Home" difficulty
Theoretical number of laps: 1 lap
Difficulty level "confidence" + data backup
From the first round, proceed with Dark Urge on the highest difficulty level, ``Confidence''. Not recommended
Summary
The trophies themselves are not that difficult, but the existence of trophies whose conditions are not clearly known and the complexity of the game itself add to the difficulty of the game.
As for the difficulty settings, you should learn the game at the lowest difficulty level, ``Exploration School'', and finally master the game at the highest difficulty level, ``Self-confidence Level''.
If you only need the platinum part, it would be a good idea to change the "confidence department" part to "tactical department"

*You can also unlock the tactical school trophy by clearing the confidence school.
If you do it properly, it will look like this. There is a loophole to some extent regarding confidence, so I will explain it in a separate article.
🏆"Confidence Mode"
As an example of circulation
Clear the game while covering timed elements on the first play
For the second round, select the origin character "Dark Urge" and get two exclusive trophies
On the third round, clear the difficulty level "Self-confidence mode"
Timed element
Although there are many time-limited elements, there are surprisingly few things to be careful about since you can have multiple save data. However, the current situation is that there are a wide variety of things to be careful of, and the conditions are not clearly understood. The difficulty lies in the fact that there are as many stories as there are players, and no one can be in the same situation, so even if you follow the strategy, you may not be able to get the trophy.
Save data you want to keep
Chapter 1: Save data before arriving at the Emerald Forest
Chapter 2: Save data that was untouched when the last Kotei was written
Chapter 3: Save data untouched when Rivington arrives
Chapter 3: Data before entering Lasdan
Kimon Trophy
5🏆 "Why there are two hands" ★★
17🏆"I won't let you go into the cage!"★
21🏆“Hot Date”★★★
23🏆“Rescue everyone”★★★★
🏆“Confidence mode” ★★★★★★
If you miss the above trophy, you cannot retrieve it from the save data. You'll have to start over from the beginning and manage flags for a long time, so it's something you'll want to get consciously on the first round. Things to be especially careful about
Take more long breaks between chapters
Be conscious of likeability
Proceed through the basic good guy route
Protect the emerald forest
By helping people in trouble and taking sides with people who seem like good people, you can prevent the time-limited element from happening. On the other hand, if you play as a bad guy, the flag will often break without you even realizing it.
We recommend that you proceed in the direction of protecting the Emerald Forest on your first lap. If you do not protect the Emerald Forest, some trophies will become unobtainable at this point.
Multiplayer
For 1~4 people
You can also get trophies in multiplayer. In addition, you can invite friends to the data you were playing in single mode and retrieve the data just before you achieved the goal.It can also be retrieved from the data. From this, it can be said that theoretically it can be done in a few hours, but the specifications differ for each trophy
Save data specifications
Auto save 5 frame overwrite type
Quick save 5 frame overwrite type
Number of manual saves
Up to 5 auto saves and quick saves will be saved, overwriting the latest one. Manual saves allow you to save an unlimited amount of data, but it tends to be slow, so use it in moderation.
Also, you can name the manual save only once when saving a new file, so it is a good idea to do so if you are using it for rewinding trophies.
The important thing is that you can save in any situation, such as in the middle of a conversation or just before a branching ending. Another feature is that you can quickly save by pressing Menu + △ before rolling the dice.

This work consists of chapters 1 to 3
Assumptions
Start with a custom character. If you choose an existing origin character, romance with that character will no longer occur.
Please note that there are many trophies that can be obtained even if you lose a friend. There is a huge amount of information, so please read this article as well. I think it will be easier to understand if you prepare the trophies and prerequisites for each chapter before moving on to the next one
I think this still doesn't cover everything. Also, the options chosen by each player. Because the actions are different, you may not be able to get the trophy even if you do the same thing. I have completed 4 laps, and the following two events were difficult to occur
5🏆"Why there are two hands"
21🏆“Hot Date”
For 5, the Owlbear child event does not occur easily, and for 21, it requires management throughout the entire story, and there are strict restrictions such as likability and not occurring if you start a romance with another person. One thing you can do is take more "long breaks." Let's digest the events that are hectic by taking many long breaks, which are the starting points for triggering events.
Chapter 1
It's a good idea to explore every nook and cranny in order to learn the game. Recruit the main characters early on.
When you arrive at the Emerald Forest, a large number of events will suddenly occur that are the prerequisite for ``rescuing everyone''. This is also a Kimon trophy in this work. In particular, there are many places where markers do not appear, so be sure to check the information in advance.
As you progress, the Emerald Forest will soon become a battle with goblins. In terms of trophies, I recommend sticking with the forest side. If you are on the verge of war, blow the horn above the main gate of the Emerald Forest to start a battle. This will change the story a lot, so let's wait until everything is over before starting the battle without blowing the horn.
There is no need for trophies in the Underdark, which can be accessed from the goblin camp. Continuing from there is Grimforge, where there is an adamantine forge. There is equipment with unprecedented performance at this time of year, so let's stop by.

※Owlbear is inside the cave
Chapter 2
The focus of Chapter 2 will be "The Last Light Pavilion". In the first meeting with Isobel here, there is a sudden big decision.Continuing from Chapter 1🏆I also want to be careful about the condition of "rescuing everyone". There are two Rayzel trophies in the direction of Kress.��The connection with other areas is weak and easy to understand. It would be a good idea to bring Raizel with you to the beginning of Chapter 2. If you leave it too long, there is a possibility that Rayzel will leave.
Trophies are evenly distributed in the main areas of the Cursed Land in Chapter 2. Chapter 2 is relatively easy to follow if you have a solid understanding of the premise in Chapter 1, but the following two are notes
21🏆“Hot Date”
23🏆``Rescue everyone''
21 is in a romantic relationship with Karlak. I think you'll need to have a level of likability that will allow you to spend the night with him in Chapter 2. In this state, when you talk to her normally, options like "Can I kiss you?" are added. At the very least, I'd like to keep the friendships I've had so far in Chapter 2. Trophy unlocking continues in Chapter 3.
The biggest event in chapter 2 of 23 is to not let the tiefling die in the battle during the first meeting with Isobel. Be careful in this battle, as you can easily die if you don't consider your placement. One option is to not talk to Isobel until you are ready, but if you don't do it before Nightsong is released, this will be equivalent to death, so you need to be careful about the timing.
Chapter 3
There are many parts in Chapter 3 that are not related to trophies, so if you try to complete them all, no matter how much time you have, you won't have enough time. Therefore, I extracted unnecessary areas for trophies. Also, the location of the map is very difficult to understand, so it is inevitable that you will get lost. I have created a simple map, so please refer to it as well
Chapter 3 Strategy Chart
Based strategy is like this
Open Hand Temple (Baldur's Gate Murder Case)
Battle on the guild's side on the northwest beach of Rivington (1500 experience points in a conversation with Tasgront in the lower region)
Obtain a pass for Ryugan Fort
Ryugan Fortress Audience Room (Meeting with Gotash)
Go to the lower regions (when you can unlock the Carluck Trophy)
Elf Song Pavilion (Mouse/Emperor)
Wine (defeat Drol)

Murder court
Temple of Behar (defeat Orin)
Magic Haberdashery Shop (Laurent: Affects 23🏆"Rescue Everyone")
Dragon's path
Ryugan Fortress (Defeating Gotash)
Fountain of Change
Chapter 3 no need to complete area
It will change depending on the path you took in chapters 1 and 2, so here we assume that you have proceeded as a good guy.
House of Grief
House of Hope/Palace of Saar
I spoke with Mol at the guild hall and completely clarified the journal ``Find Mol'', but I have not progressed with any subsequent events at the guild hall. I don't even have Rafael's contract
Frim Transport/Iron Throne
Steel Guard Factory
The above is a trophy so no need to conquer it
Review
A series of decisions becomes a story. The tabletop RPG, which can be said to be the origin of all RPGs, is revived in modern times. There is also a sense of tension as a casual choice turns out to be a major development later on, or a key ally quickly leaves the group.
The beauty of this work is that even though this complex story has many layers, it remains consistent. The characters that decorate it also fit perfectly, and combined with the beautiful graphics, it has a high degree of completion.
Multiplayer is also supported for up to four people, and there are many ways to play, such as collecting trophies together and discussing choices. Since the game has a capacity of over 100 GB, it can't be helped that it takes a long time to load save data.
There are almost no fatal bugs, so this is a work that is recommended for those who want to play for a long time. When I looked back and thought about the past, I was shocked by what came after Skyrim: The Witcher 3. You may have the impression that the rules are complicated, but once you try them out, you'll be surprised to find that they're not that complicated. If you start with what you can and move forward, you will complete your own story.
Battle 90 Experience gradually bears fruit
Story 100 There are as many stories as there are players
Graphic 93 You can see how beautiful it is when you take a screenshot
System 81 Loading time is long, but there are few bugs regarding volume
Character 97 Close to the image that all races have in mind
Score 92
