Introduction

Welcome to the The First Berserker: Khazan Trophy Guide! Set in the DNF Universe, you’ll play as Khazan who is on a revenge mission to bring justice to those who wronged him. The game is heavily inspired by games such as Dark Souls and Nioh, hitting a lot of the same gameplay mechanics, while bringing its own unique spins to the table.

Step 1: (1 Playthrough Path) Normal Difficulty, All Collectibles, All Bonus Missions, The First Berserker Ending

If you want to complete the platinum in a single playthrough, make sure you play on Normal difficulty and DO NOT summon a single Spirit of Advocacy. This will make the game a lot harder, but it can be done in 1 playthrough. If you want to see the 2 playthrough path, skip to Step 2 and 3 instead.

You’ll want to focus on getting all the collectibles and completing all Bonus Missions, which will already put you at 2/3 of the requirements for getting The First Berserker Ending. Make sure you’re following THE FIRST BERSERKER steps to get the ending.

Once you reach the final boss (or the Corrupted Lounge Blade Nexus, in case you mess up the steps for the ending), upload your save to the cloud.

After finishing the game, you should unlock THE FIRST BERSERKER, The Expert’s Journey, :and silver: Standing Alone. Afterwards, you can redownload your save from the cloud, revert the difficulty to Easy and beat the final boss again to unlock The Challenger’s Journey.

If you don’t have PS+ to upload your save, you’ll have to go into New Game+ to unlock The Challenger’s Journey.

Step 2: (2 Playthrough Path) Normal Difficulty, All Collectibles, All Bonus Missions, The First Berserker Ending

For the 2 playthrough method, you’ll want to play on Normal difficulty, while summoning Spirits of Advocacy to help you during boss fights. The reason you want to start with Normal difficulty first is because you can lower your difficulty to Easy in the settings, but you cannot raise your difficulty to Normal, so you won’t be able to earn The Expert’s Journey in New Game+ if you started on Easy and you’ll need to start a whole new game instead.

Other than summoning Spirits of Advocacy, this playthrough is exactly the same as the 1 playthrough path, except needing to upload your save to the cloud, though it’s still recommended in case you mess up getting The First Berserker ending.

Step 3: (2 Playthrough Path) Easy Difficulty Speedrun on New Game+

For the second playthrough, you’ll want to start New Game+ and change the difficulty down to Easy. You’ll also want to not summon any Spirits of Advocacy during this playthrough so you can unlock Standing Alone.

During this playthrough, you’ll also want to clean up any other miscellaneous trophies you missed, or try going for The First Berserker ending again if you missed it during your first playthrough.

Reached the ending.
This trophy unlocks when beating the game on Easy difficulty.
The Expert’s Journey

Reached the ending after a difficult journey.
This trophy unlocks when beating the game on Normal difficulty.
THE FIRST BERSERKER

Reached ‘THE FIRST BERSERKER’ ending.
In order to get The First Berserker ending, you’ll have to do a few things first.

  1. You’ll need to complete certain Bonus Missions. It’s unknown the exact ones you need to complete in order to unlock the ending, but since you need to complete them all in order to unlock Countless Tales anyway, it’s best and safer to complete all of them.
  2. You’ll need to collect all 15 Golden Collection Items. You’ll know you’ve collected them all once you unlock Ozma’s Past.
  3. In the Master of Chaos Mission, once you reach the Corrupted Lounge Blade Nexus, you’ll find Daphrona there. Talk to her and when prompted a dialogue option, make sure you choose the bottom option, “I must know the truth”. As a precaution to avoid mistakes, you should make a backup save in PS+ Cloud at this point before making your choice.
  4. If you did everything correctly up to this point, the final boss should have 3 phases. If he only has 2 phases, then you didn’t do one of the above steps correctly.
  5. After defeating the boss, you’ll be put into a room where you interact with objects to reminisce about the past. Once you reach the Diary, MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE OUT OF IT. Do not read any of the entries in the diary. It is unknown if this is a requirement or a bug, but reading the entries in the diary will cause the trophy to not unlock.
