Biomutant is an open-world action RPG with a straightforward Platinum. This guide focuses on what’s missable, what to track as you play, and the most time-efficient order to tackle trophies.

Overview

  • Trophy Difficulty: 3/10
  • Estimated Time to Platinum: 20–30 hours
  • Missable Trophies: 2 — Mariner and Gumshow
  • Minimum Playthroughs: 1 (mop-up possible post-story)
  • Free-Roam After Story?: Yes
  • Online/PS+ Required?: No (single-player only)

Roadmap

Step 1: Play how you like (Good or Evil) while tracking a few missables

Enjoy the story your way. Alignment choices (Aura) don’t lock you out of the Platinum, so pick whichever path you prefer. While you play, keep these running goals in mind:

  • Start progress toward:
    • Social — recruit/ally characters as you meet them.
    • Max Gains, Electrified, Stick It To Them, Sproing! — begin experimenting with Wung-Fus and combat effects so you’re not saving them all for mop-up.
    • Toytinkerer — interact with Automaton add-ons and keep using it.
    • All “capture 20 X” trophies — capture creatures as you naturally encounter them to reduce end-game grind.
  • Be careful with the two missables:
    • Mariner — complete the side content tied to the Googlide (boat) before moving the story past the point where its giver disappears. Prioritise Googlide upgrades/missions once available.
    • Gumshow — complete the side content tied to the Octopod/“Gumshow” chain before its quest giver is gone. When this chain appears, finish it promptly.

Step 2: Finish the story

Once you’re satisfied with side content, push through the main story. Don’t worry too much about missing trophies here — only Mariner and Gumshow are truly missable, and if you followed Step 1 you should be safe.

The ending you choose (Light vs Dark) doesn’t matter for the Platinum — both paths unlock the story-related trophies.

Step 3: Post-story mop-up

After the story, you’ll enter free roam. Now’s the time to clean up collectible and completion trophies:

  • Clear all tribes and forts if you haven’t already.
  • Capture missing mounts, superblooms, or creatures for “catch 20 X” trophies.
  • Track down remaining superb loot locations and complete Old World gadgets.
  • Finish any unfinished side missions.
  • Work on combat trophies you didn’t naturally earn.

The post-story map is fully open, so nothing is locked out aside from the two missables noted earlier.

Trophy Guide

Social

Trophy: Discover all 16 ally characters.
Most of these allies are tied to main and side quests. Progress naturally through the story, talk to all NPCs you meet, and complete their tasks. None are missable.

Max Gains

Trophy: Attain maximum character level.
Level 50 is the cap. You’ll likely be close by the end of the story if you do side activities. If not, farm enemies in late-game zones or clear remaining quests.

Electrified

Trophy: Defeat 20 enemies using the chain lightning effect.
Unlock and upgrade Psi-Powers. Spam chain lightning on groups of weak enemies for efficiency.

Stick It To Them

Trophy: Stick 25 enemies with Gumshots.
Part of the Automaton upgrade path. Use the Gumshot add-on frequently once unlocked. Remember: Gumshow is tied to this quest chain, so don’t miss it.

Sproing!

Trophy: Bounce 50 enemies using the Mucus Bubble.
Use the Mucus Bubble mutation to trap enemies, then bounce them. Small groups of enemies in early zones are perfect farming spots.

Toytinkerer

Trophy: Unlock all Automaton upgrades.
Complete Automaton-related side quests and interact with NPCs offering upgrades. Fully upgrading it comes naturally if you finish all side content.

Zoo-doo

Trophy: Capture 20 Sqvips.
Sqvips are small squirrel-like creatures. Sneak up and interact to capture. Found in forested regions. If you chase them too much, they vanish — so approach carefully.

Bugologist

Trophy: Capture 20 Glittermoths.
These glowing moths spawn mostly at night. Look for areas with luminescent plants. Approach slowly and interact to capture them.

Pichu Party

Trophy: Capture 20 Pippis.
Bird-like creatures that land near water or ruins. Sneak close and interact before they fly away.

Quack quack

Trophy: Capture 20 Gumducks.
Gumducks are usually near water. Same method: creep close and interact before they escape.

Fluffy Mount

Trophy: Capture 20 Mounts.
You’ll encounter tamable mounts across the world. Feed them the correct food when prompted and they’ll join you. Once tamed, mounts can be called at any time.

Old World Gadgets

Trophy: Discover and complete all 15 Old World Gadgets.
These include items like TVs, fridges, toilets, etc. Each requires a short puzzle interaction. They’re marked on the map when you get close.

Superb Loot

Trophy: Discover all 23 Superb Loot locations.
These are special chests scattered around the world. Most are in outposts or near notable landmarks. None are missable, and they stay on your map once uncovered.

Tribal Triumph

Trophy: Defeat all rival tribe forts.
As part of the main story, you’ll align with a tribe. You can choose peace or conquest. Eventually, all forts must be resolved, so this comes naturally.

Conscious

Trophy: Side with either Light or Dark Aura for the story outcome.
Both endings are valid. Pick whichever path you want. You don’t need both for Platinum.

The End?

Trophy: Defeat the Worldeaters and finish the story.
Main story-related. Cannot be missed. Both Light and Dark conclusions count.

That’s Deep

Trophy: Explore all of Subnautica (subsurface zones).
This happens naturally during main and side missions, especially Googlide-related quests. Pair with Mariner to be safe.

Mariner

Trophy: Complete all Googlide side content.
Missable! Once the quest giver disappears, this content is gone. Prioritise Googlide upgrades and races when they unlock.

Gumshow

Trophy: Complete all Gumshow side content.
Missable! This Automaton quest chain disappears after certain story beats. Finish it promptly once available.

Paragon

Trophy: Choose four allies for the Ark at the end.
Toward the finale, you’ll be asked to pick allies to board the Ark. Recruit enough characters throughout the game, then choose any four when prompted.

Wung-Fu Master

Trophy: Perform all special moves in combat.
Unlock Wung-Fu abilities via upgrades, then chain combos in battle. Each ability has a unique button combination. Try them all at least once.

Hack n’ Slash

Trophy: Defeat 50 enemies with melee weapons.
Straightforward — just use swords, clubs, or any melee weapon until it pops.

Pew Pew!

Trophy: Defeat 50 enemies with ranged weapons.
Use guns or crafted ranged weapons. Easily earned while farming other trophies.

Psi-Powered

Trophy: Unlock all Psi-Powers.
Requires spending Psi-points at shrines and choosing both Light and Dark aligned abilities. Make sure to balance Aura so you can access both sides before endgame.

Biogenetic Evolution

Trophy: Unlock all Biogenetic abilities.
Collect Bio-points from Biohazard areas and enemies. Spend them in the mutation menu until all abilities are purchased.

Ultimate Arsenal

Trophy: Craft a legendary weapon.
Gather rare components and craft via the weapon assembly menu. High-level parts are rewarded from late-game loot and bosses.

Adventure Complete

Trophy: Finish all side quests.
Every optional mission must be completed. Check your log often. Side missions are plentiful but straightforward — none are missable aside from Mariner and Gumshow.

Platinum Trophy

Trophy: Unlock all trophies in Biomutant.
After completing the story, finishing side content, and cleaning up collectibles, your Platinum will pop. The only real pitfalls are forgetting Mariner or Gumshow, so make sure those are finished before advancing the story too far.

Conclusion

Biomutant’s Platinum is approachable and fun, with most time spent exploring its vibrant world and experimenting with combat. By following the roadmap, prioritising the two missables, and steadily working on captures, powers, and collectibles, you’ll secure the Platinum without heavy grinding.
