Not an especially difficult platinum, but I came into it with the DLC all released so I worked towards those trophies as well. Still need to do the two NG+ trophies which I might work on right away while I listen to more Giant Bomb GotY deliberations. Once again it's a pretty simple 100% completion platinum. Beat the game, do all sidequests, learn all skill, find all the collectables etcs. Everything is marked on the map so they're hard to miss. As long as you're exploring every data point on that map you'll come across everything eventually.

You don't even need to do all the sidequests. Only some are necessary for the platinum.

I'm not impressed until you 100% The Frozen Wilds on Ultra Hard. You won't.

For the NG+ run on Ultra Hard, skip all cutscenes and avoid all unnecessary fights. It should only take you somewhere between 5-7 hours depending on how good you are at exploiting the weakpoints of some of the machines, how many resources you had saved up on your first playthrough, and if you use all the knowledge you got in your first playthrough of what the fastest method to get through every mission is. Basically, multiple arrows notched on a powershot bow (headshot optional) on human enemies, use the blaze canisters when they're obvious targets to blow through fights (there's one mission in particular that needs this), use the shield armor, know how to take down the deathbringer fast (either freeze+rattler or powershot bow on the weakpoints when they're exposed, or both).

Also if you slide+roll when you're forced to go somewhere on foot, it's faster because the slide makes Aloy travel farther at the very start of it. Gotta cancel it with the roll before the slide goes on too long though or else Aloy will slow down a bit.
