NTE: Neverness to Everness ships with 36 trophies on PS5, made up of 22 bronze, 9 silver, 4 gold, and the Platinum, Normal is an Anomaly. None of the trophies are missable, and there are no difficulty options. The list is short on paper, but the road to the Platinum is paced by daily gates, currency sinks, and the very slow Affinity (Bond) grind, which is what stretches the completion to several real-world months.
Quick answer: Push the main story to unlock City Tycoon and the Witch's House, start daily gift-giving on five free A-rank characters from day one, hand in Oracle Stones for Divination Level 10 on PS5, then chip away at Hunter Level 35, 7 vehicles, 50 Life Skill upgrades, and 10,000,000 Beetle Coins while you wait out the Affinity timer.
Roadmap overview
The game is online-only and shares progress between PS5, PC, and Mobile on the same account. Most account-side requirements should auto-pop on PS5 when you open the in-game Achievement menu, but several have been unreliable, so anything trophy-critical should be finalized while logged in on PS5.
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Total trophies | 36 (1 Platinum, 4 Gold, 9 Silver, 22 Bronze) |
| Estimated difficulty | 3/10 |
| Time to Platinum | ~100–200 hours, paced over 4–6+ months by Affinity |
| Missable trophies | 0 |
| Minimum playthroughs | 1 |
| Online required | Yes |
| Difficulty affects trophies | No |
The longest grind: Affinity Master
Affinity Master (Gold) requires Affinity Level 10 with five characters. Each character needs 56,000 Affection to reach Bond/Affinity 10, and you can only give 3 gifts per character per day, capped at 10 gifts total per day across your roster. That hard daily cap is what defines the Platinum timeline.
To stay efficient, focus on A-rank characters you obtain for free through the story or banners, since you keep them permanently and can start the grind early. Use each character's Favorites list, since favored gifts grant double Affection. Cheap blue-rarity flowers and vases are the standard 200-point picks, while a few characters have purple-rarity favorites worth 400.
| Character | Recommended favored gift | Source shop |
|---|---|---|
| Adler | Blue-rarity vase | Golden Dawn |
| Aurelia | Blue-rarity flowers | Fantasia |
| Haniel | Blue-rarity flowers | Fantasia |
| Edgar | Green-rarity stickers | Boss's Approval or HAHA |
| Mint | Blue-rarity flowers | Waltz |
For characters who can move into your housing (such as Mint), you also get one-time Affection boosts from inviting them to a movie, having them ride along, and triggering first-time interaction animations in your property. Esper Zero's maxed Life Skill increases Bond gain on other characters, so prioritize Esper Zero when you start spending Dreamless Seeds.
Story and questline trophies
Several trophies are awarded simply for finishing scripted content. Push these early because they unlock systems used by every other category (City Tycoon, the Witch's House, vehicles, housing).
| Trophy | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Alea Jacta Est | Complete the questline Unforeseen Yet Foretold |
| Let's Start a Band | Complete the questline A Legendary Band's First Page |
| It's Snowing! | Complete the questline A Retrograde Poem For You (unlocks Snowy Weather) |
| Lone Signal | Complete the Anomaly Commission Deep Blue Sorrow |
| Homecoming Day | Acquire your first house |
| First Ride | Obtain 1 vehicle (auto from Prologue 2 scooter) |
Hunter Level and combat trophies
Hunter Level is your account level and gates most other content. You raise it through the story, side quests, daily commissions, and Anomaly Zones. The Hunter Level cap is also gated, so progress quests like Hunter Ascension as soon as you hit each cap.
| Trophy | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Rising Hunter | Reach Hunter Level 25 |
| Hyperdimensional Awakening | Reach Hunter Level 35 |
| Ultimate Anomaly Hunter I | Reach Level 20 with 1 character |
| Ultimate Anomaly Hunter IV | Upgrade 1 character to Level 80 |
| Variation Movement | Use Skill 300 times |
| Speed Above All | Trigger Critical Dodge 200 times |
| Brawl I / II / III | Upgrade 1 Arc to Level 20 / 40 / 60 |
| OG Legend | Upgrade 1 Orange Console Cartridge to Level 10 |
| Classic Clear | Upgrade 1 Orange Console Module to Level 20 |
It Said Go For It! glitch warning
The Gold trophy It Said Go For It! asks you to defeat 500 enemies with Ultimate damage. The matching in-game achievement, "Death is the Final Movement of All Life III" under 8-Track Background Noise (Battle), only tracks up to 200 Ultimate kills, and at 1.0 the trophy currently does not pop even after well past 500 confirmed Ultimate defeats.
For now, keep finishing enemies with Ultimate attacks during normal play, but treat this as a known unlock issue rather than something you can grind on demand. Do not delete or rebuild your character setup chasing it.
Divination, Oracle Stones, and exploration
The Witch's House in the Bridge Crossings district is the hub for Divination, which feeds two trophies. You raise Divination Level by handing Oracle Stones to the witch (Blackbird).
At launch there are 214 Oracle Stones across the five released districts, and you need to deliver 140 to reach Divination Level 10. The fastest way to find them is the Oracle Crystal, unlocked at Divination Level 3 (12 Oracle Stones turned in). The crystal drops a marker that highlights every Oracle Stone within its radius on the map. You can place up to three at once and rotate them to sweep a district cleanly.
| Trophy | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Fate's Echo | Reach Divination Level 10 (turn in 140 Oracle Stones) |
| Flip-Flopping Future | Perform 10 Divinations (max 3/day, so at least 4 real days) |
| Hit Me! | Open 50 "Gifts from 21" (out of 79 at launch) |
| 33729 | Unlock 5 ReroRero Phone Booths |
Important: Fate's Echo is known to misfire if Divination Level 10 is reached on PC or Mobile and then carried to PS5. Even handing in additional stones at Level 11 or 12 on PS5 may not retroactively pop it. To avoid this, do the Level 10 turn-in while logged in on PS5.
ReroRero Phone Booths appear automatically on the map of any region whose Wertheimer Tower you have activated, so 33729 effectively just requires visiting any five of them.
City Tycoon, vehicles, and currency
City Tycoon is the purple-Guide chain in your quest log, covering housing, the Cafe by Origen, and racing. Several trophies live inside this loop, and it is the main sink for Fons (the black-and-gold currency).
| Trophy | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Ultimate Racer | Obtain 7 vehicles (1 from story, 6 purchased) |
| Life Sim | Upgrade Life Skills 10 times |
| Neon Master | Upgrade Life Skills 50 times |
| Beetle Coin Researcher | Earn 1,000,000 Beetle Coins (cumulative) |
| Beetle Bounty | Earn 10,000,000 Beetle Coins (cumulative) |
For Ultimate Racer, the six cheapest non-story vehicles cost about 2.95 million Fons in total at the Novus, Regalia, and TerraX dealerships. Two additional vehicles are sold for 20,000 and 30,000 Pink Paws Coins at the Pink Paws Den, which is useful if you are already running Pink Paws Heist for Fons farming.
Life Skills are upgraded with the Dreamless Seed item. Each character costs 54 Dreamless Seeds (2, 4, 10, 16, 24) to reach Life Skill Level 5. Because secondary Life Skill slots are unpopulated at 1.0, hitting 50 total upgrades requires spreading Dreamless Seeds across at least 10 characters, or running close to fully maxing fewer of them. The most consistent income is the daily Exploration Guide Participation track, which gives 4 Dreamless Seeds at the 100 Participation threshold. Track progress under A/B Flip/Side (City) → Max Out City Life!.
Beetle Coins accumulate naturally through quests, City Tycoon activities, and Nacupeda's Pool, so Beetle Coin Researcher and Beetle Bounty come passively as long as you keep doing dailies.
Daily-gated trophies (Nacupeda's Pool)
Two trophies require interacting with Nacupeda's Pool, the fountain in the park on the west side of Bridge Crossings. Each real-world day you choose one of two options.
| Trophy | Action | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mhm! Mhm! Mhm! | Choose "Make a Sincere Wish" 30 times to receive Nacupeda's Blessing | Each Blessing gives a small buff or Mhm! Coins for the Arc Exchange |
| Mhm? Mhm? Mhm?! | Choose "Coins, love 'em, grab some!" until you receive Nacupeda's Punishment 30 times | The Punishment outcome does not always trigger; you may sometimes only get Beetle Coins, so expect more than 30 attempts |
Track these in the in-game Achievement menu under Gravity Type IV (Gameplay). Because both are once-per-day, the absolute minimum is 30 days for Blessings and somewhat longer for Punishments.
Verifying a trophy unlocked
Every trophy maps to an in-game achievement under categories like 8-Track Background Noise (Battle), Single Frame Funk (Interest), A/B Flip/Side (City), or Gravity Type IV (Gameplay). After meeting a requirement, open the in-game Achievement menu on PS5 to confirm the achievement is marked complete; the PS5 trophy notification should follow shortly after. If a requirement was finished on PC or Mobile, simply opening the matching achievement on PS5 is what triggers the auto-pop, which is why this final check matters.
If a trophy does not pop after the in-game achievement reads as complete on PS5, the safest fix is to close the game fully, reopen on PS5, and revisit the related menu. The two known holdouts, even after this, are It Said Go For It! and Fate's Echo when Level 10 was reached off-PS5.
Suggested order for the fastest Platinum
Step 1: Clear Prologue 1 and Prologue 2 to unlock the open world, the scooter (First Ride), the Witch's House, and the City Tycoon Guide chain. Do not skip cutscenes that gate Bond gifting.
Step 2: Start daily Bond gifting on five free A-rank characters (Adler, Aurelia, Haniel, Edgar, Mint) the first day you can. This is the only way to compress the Affinity Master timeline.
Step 3: Push to Divination Level 3 with 12 Oracle Stones to unlock the Oracle Crystal, then sweep districts to reach Divination Level 10 directly on PS5.
Step 4: Progress City Tycoon to Level 3 to unlock races and vehicle dealerships, then save Fons for the six dealership cars needed for Ultimate Racer.
Step 5: Run dailies for Exploration Guide Participation (4 Dreamless Seeds), Nacupeda's Pool, and commissions, while clearing main story for Hunter Level 35 and Anomaly Commission Deep Blue Sorrow.
Step 6: Mop up combat counters (Variation Movement, Speed Above All, Brawl I–III, OG Legend, Classic Clear, Ultimate Anomaly Hunter I and IV) during normal Anomaly Zone play, and let Beetle Coin totals accumulate to 10,000,000.
The realistic pace for Normal is an Anomaly is set by two things: the 56,000 Affection wall on five characters and the 30-day floor on Nacupeda's Pool, with the Ultimate-kill trophy currently unreliable. Treat the rest of the list as a steady checklist that fills in around those gates, log in daily for gifts and Participation rewards, and finalize anything trophy-critical on PS5 to avoid the cross-platform pop issues.
