Intro.
MIO: Memories In Orbit’s Platinum trophy does not differ much from most other Metroidvanias. It consists of various collectible types, obtaining two different endings (Normal and True), and a few miscellaneous trophies, none of which are missable. Some of the platforming sections and bosses can be challenging, but luckily, you can mitigate some of the difficulty using the options available in the Assist menu.
Step 1. Finish The Main Story.
Play through the game and get the normal ending. Pick up anything you come across, but don’t worry too much. Nothing is missable.
Step 2. True Ending.
Follow the True Ending guide to get the Welcome Home trophy. This will also automatically get you a few other trophies, like visiting the Crucible along the way.
Step 3. Collectibles
Clear up any collectibles you are missing. By doing this, you will also get every trophy related to visiting areas and most of the ones for defeating bosses. Not all are related to trophies, but here are the ones that are:
Step 4. Miscellaneous Cleanup.
By now, you should have almost every trophy, if not all. At most, you will have a few miscellaneous ones like “defeat 3 enemies without touching the ground” or “buy everything from Mel”. Now is the time to finish them off and get the Platinum!
