Trophy guide
Our route through the county, with the secret soup, vault code and no-damage boss fight explained step by step.
PlayStation 4 · Platinum and 100%
Level select is available after the ending. Optional actions can be missed within a level, but nothing requires a fresh full playthrough.
Start at Mira's House and follow the story in order. In Roadmap, the three sections group the county levels, HQ and the final fight, then the ending and cleanup. Read each section before playing those levels. The trophy solutions beneath it explain the exact actions, and Trophies lets you look up an individual solution directly.
The platinum covers all 21 trophies. You can follow the optional stops on the first run or enjoy the story first and use the same linked solutions during cleanup.
Start with objects that fit inside the hole, then use its growth to swallow larger ones. Once Catapult is introduced, it also lets us launch what the hole is holding into switches and other targets.
Our optional stops, in order:
Each solution below gives the action and the point to watch for. Continue the story between these stops.

bronze · unmissable
Release the hot air balloon.
Potter's Rock. Swallow the kiln, then hold the heated hole beneath Pup's balloon until it rises. This is automatic story progression.
bronze · optional
Set Pepper's trailer on fire.
Joshua Tree. Swallow the campfire once the hole is large enough, then catch the coal dropped by the crow at the grill. Move the burning hole beneath Pepper's trailer to ignite it.
Do this while the trailer is still too large to swallow. If you consume it first, replay Joshua Tree and burn it before growing further.
gold · optional
Finish Gecko Park without collecting the radio.
Gecko Park. Leave the radio beside Coco's house until everything else has been swallowed. Work around it while clearing the sides of the area and the house.
Save the radio's crate for last. Ease the edge of the hole beneath one side of the crate so it tips, letting the radio slide onto solid ground beside the hole. Stop moving as soon as the crate falls in. Keep the hole away from the radio while checking for leftover grass, stones or other objects.
Wait for the trophy with the radio still on the ground. You can then swallow it to finish. If the radio falls in too early, replay Gecko Park.
silver · optional
Stock up on gamer fuel.
Chicken Barn, at the shop screen. Buy Energy Drinks before buying Catapult. You have enough currency for both. Then buy Catapult to continue the level. If you already left the shop without the drinks, replay Chicken Barn after finishing the game.
silver · optional
Break 3 dozen eggs.
Chicken Barn, after buying Catapult. Use the chicken to progress to the egg-producing part of the barn. Catch an egg, move beneath the switch on the open barn door and catapult the egg into it.
Once eggs are coming out rapidly, park the hole away from their landing spot. Let 36 eggs smash on the ground. Catching them makes the hole grow but does not count as breaking them. Wait for the trophy before swallowing the remaining objects.
gold · optional
Make Chef's secret soup recipe.
Cat Soup, inside the restaurant. Clear the three cans, pull the cord on the right and collect soup from the pot on the left. Then add two separate portions of salt and three separate portions of pepper.
Move out from under a shaker between portions. Holding the hole under a continuous stream is only one addition. Keep moving to avoid the cockroaches, and stay away from the large bird until all five portions are in. If a cockroach gets in, restart Cat Soup and try again.
Feed the finished soup to the bird. Its tear confirms the special recipe. If you feed an ordinary recipe and the level moves on, replay Cat Soup.
bronze · unmissable
Destroy the donut shop.
Donut Shop. Grow the hole by swallowing smaller objects, then consume the shop and its remaining pieces. This is automatic story progression.
bronze · unmissable
Destroy Raccoon Lagoon.
Raccoon Lagoon. Collect water and catapult it into the Ferris wheel's buckets. Repeat to turn the wheel and progress through the park, then swallow the remaining structures. This unlocks through the story.
In Biology Lab, enter the vault sequence and watch for the door-opening cutscene. Visit the vault in Security after leaving the lab. In Anthropology Lab, destroy the monitor before advancing the alarm puzzle.
At Boss Fight, I recommend losing the first attempt for Game Over. Retry for Flawless, which requires a complete win with no health lost. When the hole becomes a tornado after the fight, destroy the monument before finishing the area.
bronze · unmissable
Hack into the mainframe.
Raccoon HQ entrance. Swallow Possum's hacking device, position the hole beneath the security device beside the entrance and catapult it upwards. Opening the way into HQ earns this story trophy.
gold · optional
Break into the vault at Raccoon HQ.
Biology Lab, followed by the HQ security room.
Opening the door alone does not award the trophy. You must go inside. For cleanup, replay from Raccoon HQ and continue through Biology Lab so both parts happen in one run.
External video: lab setup (UntilTammaro, 41:35) and external video: vault visit (UntilTammaro, 44:12).
silver · optional
Destroy Trash King's monitor.
Anthropology Lab. Use the fire source to ignite a rocket, then move beneath Trash King's monitor on the left so the rocket launches into it.
Destroy the monitor before firing the second rocket into the alarm that advances the room. You can use an early rocket on the monitor, then resume the normal puzzle. If the room has already advanced, replay Anthropology Lab.
bronze · optional
Lose the boss fight.
Boss Fight. Allow the enemy attacks to continue without returning bombs until Mira and Possum run out of health and the loss scene plays. A single hit is not enough.
Do this on a separate attempt from Flawless. After the defeat, retry the fight and aim for the no-damage win.
gold · optional
Complete the boss fight without taking damage.
Boss Fight. Keep Mira and Possum's health intact through the entire fight.
Watch the health display. If it drops, that attempt cannot earn Flawless. If you still need Game Over, allow the fight to end in defeat. Otherwise restart the level and attempt the whole fight again. Level select lets you return after finishing the story.
silver · unmissable
Win the boss fight.
gold · optional
Destroy Trash King's monument.
After winning Boss Fight, swallow the wreckage to create a tornado. Stay beside the large Trash King monument near the roof's front edge until it breaks apart. Do this before finishing HQ's destruction. Replay Boss Fight if you miss it.
Continue through the ending rather than quitting at the final encounter.
During Aftermath, fly through the donut sign and follow the hanging chain up to the airship. Then finish the sequence and open Trashopedia from the menu.
Once level select is available, revisit the named level for any optional trophy still missing. For Bandit, start from Raccoon HQ and continue through the lab and back to the vault.
bronze · unmissable
Bring everyone back from underground.
Continue through Catapult and its dialogue after the final fight. This story trophy unlocks as the group returns to the surface.
silver · optional
Fly through the donut hole.
Aftermath, during the playable credits. Fly the quadcopter to the giant donut sign above the shop. Adjust your height until you line up with the opening, then fly all the way through its centre.
Stay in this area for Escape too. If you have already finished the credits, replay Aftermath from level select.
gold · optional
Find Trash King's secret getaway vehicle.
Aftermath. While flying the quadcopter, find the anchor and chain hanging down near the hot-air balloon. Follow the chain upwards, using the right stick to gain height. Keep climbing until you reach the airship, then fly close to Trash King.
This is separate from flying through the donut sign for Pilot. Both can be done during the same visit to Aftermath, which is available through level select.
gold · optional
Complete the Trashopedia.
After finishing the story, open Trashopedia from the menu. Move through the entries in each location until you reach the final key entry. I recommend viewing the whole list if this has not unlocked, rather than assuming that completing the levels is enough.
There is no separate collectible hunt to plan around this. In Gecko Park, you can collect the radio after Music Lover unlocks.
platinum
Unlock all trophies.
Earn the other 20 trophies. There are no additional trophy groups in this list. If the story is finished but the platinum is missing, check the level-specific challenges, the two Aftermath trophies and the Trashopedia.
