Dying Light 2 is the long-awaited sequel to Dying Light and is a post-apocalyptic, parkour-infused survival action RPG developped by Techland. You're looking at about 20 hours for the main story and about 50-60 hours to complete every side quests but getting the Platinum will take a bit longer than that as there are some very grindy trophies. Your main concern when playing this game should be collectibles. There are 250 of them and some of them are missable, including those in the Prologue so be very careful with that and make sure to not miss them or you might have to restart a complete playthrough. You will also need an online connection and a PS+ subscription for the Platinum as there are 2 online co-op trophies. Special mention: I want to thank Hinsusta which was a massive help with some trophies!
Regarding the missable trophies:
- Fit as a Fiddle
and Ironheart
are both marked as missable . It is impossible to max out both your Health and your Stamina on the same playthrough, unless you use a back up save. Please check these trophies to know the workaround and get them both on the same playthrough. Please check these trophies to know the workaround and get them both on the same playthrough.
- Boot Licker
is missable because you cannot reach level 7 for both factions. The maximum you can reach is level 10, which means if you're not careful, you could end up at level 5 for both factions and completely miss this trophy so be sure to assign the zones to the same factions from the start to avoid this.
- Archivist
is highly missable because there is one missable memento in the Prologue and you cannot acces this area later in the game, nor replay the Prologue in coop. There are also some other semi-missable mementos but you can access them through co-op if you miss them, same with tapes so Audiophile
is also missable.
Walkthrough:
Step 1: Play the story while getting missable collectibles and assigning the zones to the same faction but don't spend more than 38 inhibitors for Health and Stamina (level 12 each). Backup your save regularly in case of story related trophy glitches.
Be very careful and make sure to grab all the collectibles during the Prologue of the game, because they are all HIGHLY missable as you cannot access the Prologue area later in the game. There are only 3 collectibles in the Prologue but it is very important to pick them up. Then continue with the story but keep an eye out for collectibles, because some of them are semi-missable in certain side quests. Check the videos under the respective trophies, all missables will be at the start of the videos. Do as many Side Quests as you can, most of them will have collectibles and they are pretty much required to get enough Combat and Parkour points to be able to buy all skills. I also recommend making regular backup saves, because some story related trophies can glitch and not unlock.
During the story, you'll automatically assign a couple zones to a faction of your choice, it is very important to assign all zones to the same faction because there aren't enough of them to reach City Alignement 7 with both factions and you could possibly miss Boot Licker

Step 3: Co-op
There are only 2 co-op trophies which is for joining a session and killing 100 enemies with 2 other players. You can either join randoms through the Online ingame menu or play with friends. Lastly, you'll need to travel 960km and even after doing everything else you won't be anywhere close. The best way to do that is to use a rubberband method and turn around in circles in a safe zone (a Metro works fine), while ding somehing else but unfortunately, you will have to keep an eye out on your game, because the game can randomly pause.
