Welcome, fellow Porters. As of late 2025, the vast, haunting world of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach has opened up, presenting a new, emotionally complex journey for Sam Porter Bridges and a fresh set of 55 trophies for completionists to chase. This comprehensive, up-to-date guide is your essential roadmap to achieving the coveted Platinum trophy, estimated to take a dedicated player between 70 to 100 hours of trekking, connecting, and confronting new horrors.

Unlike many modern titles, the good news for trophy hunters is that Death Stranding 2 contains zero missable trophies, allowing you to focus on the experience knowing you can clean up any remaining tasks after the main story concludes. The core challenge remains the same as the first installment: mastering the art of the delivery, maxing out your connection with every facility, and fabricating every piece of gear. Let’s prepare your Q-pid and set a course for 100% completion.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Trophy Breakdown and Roadmap

The full trophy list for Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is comprised of 55 unique accolades, following the established Hideo Kojima Productions format. The overall difficulty is considered manageable, rated around a 3/10, making it a time-consuming but straightforward Platinum journey.

  • Platinum Trophy: 1 (The Beach is Just the Beginning)
  • Gold Trophies: 2
  • Silver Trophies: 6
  • Bronze Trophies: 46

The roadmap to Platinum is best approached in three distinct phases:

  1. Phase 1: Main Story Completion. Focus purely on completing the game's 12 Episodes. This will unlock all major equipment, travel methods (including the new mobile base/ship), and all facilities for the Chiral Network. You will earn all story-related trophies here.
  2. Phase 2: Connection & Fabrication Grind. Once the story is complete, focus on maxing out the connection level (5 Stars) with every single facility, Prepper, and new Drawbridge station. Simultaneously, work towards fabricating every single piece of equipment and structure.
  3. Phase 3: Delivery Master (S-Rank Grind). The final, most time-intensive phase is achieving the highest possible rank (Legend of Legends) on every standard order in the game.

Key Story & Boss Trophies (Phase 1 Focus)

While the majority of trophies are tied to the game’s core mechanics, a handful of Silver and Gold trophies are unlocked by completing crucial narrative milestones and defeating new, imposing enemies. These are unmissable, but knowing what to expect can help you prepare your loadout.

Showdown at the Tar Lake (Silver Trophy)

Requirement: Defeat the Lord of the Tar Lake.

This trophy is earned after a pivotal boss encounter that takes place on the vast, new Tar Lake. This enemy is a massive, aquatic-based BT that requires utilizing the new vehicular combat mechanics and potentially new ranged weaponry acquired through your journey with the organization Drawbridge. Ensure you have a full stock of Blood Bags and high-capacity weapons before initiating the mission. The trophy is awarded whether you choose to kill or capture the target.

The Headless Riders Unmasked (Bronze Trophy)

Requirement: Solve the riddle of the headless riders.

This is a major mid-game milestone involving a new type of enemy—a group of phantom-like riders who pursue Sam across the new continents. The "riddle" is solved by completing a specific series of main story orders that culminates in a major confrontation. Successfully destroying the final adversary will end the encounter and unlock the trophy.

Savior of Terminal Fort Knot (Silver Trophy)

Requirement: Prevent Terminal Fort Knot from falling victim to a Voidout.

A high-stakes mission that echoes the urgency of the first game's most critical deliveries. This mission will test your traversal skills under extreme pressure. Prevention often involves a time-sensitive delivery or a specific combat encounter to neutralize the threat before the catastrophic event occurs.

The Chiral Network & Drawbridge Connection Trophies (Phase 2 Focus)

The vast majority of your time in Death Stranding 2 will be spent connecting every location to the Chiral Network and building trust with the inhabitants. This is the true 'grind' of the Platinum journey. The new organization, Drawbridge, led by Fragile, plays a central role in this expansion, and their facilities must also be fully connected.

The Legendary Porter (Gold Trophy)

Requirement: Achieve a connection level of 5 Stars with all facilities, Preppers, and Drawbridge stations.

This is the most time-consuming trophy, requiring you to perform numerous deliveries to every single location on the map, including the hidden Prepper shelters and the new facilities established by Drawbridge. To maximize efficiency:

  • Prioritize Standard Orders: Focus on Standard Orders over Lost Cargo, as they offer much higher 'Likes' and connection progress.
  • Premium Deliveries: Always select the "Premium Delivery" option when available, as the 'Legend' or 'Legend of Legends' rank awards significantly more Likes.
  • Utilize the Network: Build roads, bridges, and zip-lines (using the new Chiral Network coverage) to make repeat trips faster. This is crucial for the second half of the map.
  • New Drawbridge Stations: Pay special attention to the new Drawbridge facilities, as they often require unique cargo or specific delivery conditions related to their mission of expanding the network.

Homo Faber (Silver Trophy)

Requirement: Fabricate all available structures, equipment, and tools at least once.

This trophy requires unlocking and fabricating every piece of gear and structure available at a terminal, including all new additions. As you progress through the main story and increase your connection levels with various facilities, new blueprints (or 'data') will be unlocked. Do not forget to fabricate new weapons, vehicles, and the new mobile base components. Make sure to check the fabrication list at every terminal, especially after major story episodes, to ensure you haven't missed a new item like the enhanced Cargo Catapult or the new Timefall Shelter variants.

Mastering the Delivery: S-Ranks and Legend of Legends (Phase 3 Focus)

The final layer of challenge is achieving the highest possible rank on a vast number of deliveries. This is where the true test of a Porter's skill lies, demanding perfection in cargo condition and speed.

Birth of a Legend (Gold Trophy)

Requirement: Achieve the highest rank (Legend of Legends/LL) on all available Standard Orders.

This trophy is the true Platinum gatekeeper. It requires you to complete every single Standard Order in the game with the 'Legend of Legends' rank on the Hard difficulty setting. This means achieving an S-Rank in all four evaluation categories: Time, Cargo Condition, Volume, and Special (if applicable).

  • S-Rank Strategy: To guarantee an S-Rank, you must bring the maximum (or close to the maximum) amount of cargo items and keep the average contents and container damage exceptionally low. Prioritize speed and cargo integrity.
  • Order Variety: You must also achieve S-Ranks across different order types:
    • Complete 10 Deliveries with S-Rank.
    • Complete 10 Recoveries (fetch quests) with S-Rank.
    • Complete 10 Elimination/Destruction orders (combat focus) with S-Rank.
  • Difficulty Setting: Crucially, this trophy requires playing on the Hard difficulty setting to unlock the 'Legend of Legends' rank (LL). If you play on Normal, you will only achieve 'Legend' (L) rank, which does not count for this trophy. You can switch the difficulty at any time.

By breaking down the Death Stranding 2 trophy list into these manageable phases—Story, Connection, and Delivery Mastery—you can optimize your path to the Platinum. Keep on keeping on, Porter. The Beach awaits your legend.
