Minecraft: Return to Sender trophy guide

Kill a ghast using a returned fireball. Status: Verified.

PS5 trophy details

• Grade: Silver. Set: Base game. No separately purchased DLC is implied by the catalogue's expansion-pack label.
• Missable: no story-ending lockout; the task can be repeated in an eligible Survival world. Eligibility can still be lost through settings.
• Difficulty: 4/10, Hizzle editorial estimate. Time: UNSURE. Hidden flag: UNSURE.
• Players: Solo route described; online play is not required by this method. Online required: no for the described route; local play can be used for the two-player tasks.
• Roadmap: mid phase of Minecraft PS5 Platinum trophy roadmap.

What to do

1. Find a ghast with a clear view from a secure Nether platform, with cover nearby.
2. Face an incoming fireball and strike it with an attack to send it back toward the ghast.
3. Repeat until a returned fireball delivers the killing hit.

Before you repeat it

Shooting the ghast normally is not the required finish. Keep the portal protected; the fireball can damage your surroundings if you miss.

Evidence and editions

Mojang's ghast article and the Wiki agree on striking a fireball back into a ghast for the kill. The 26.60 fix stops large fireballs igniting targets on impact; it does not announce removal of the returned-projectile method. Stable Bedrock 26.60 notes and recent indexed reports were reviewed on November 3, 2026. No in-game test was performed. PS4 players must match the trophy in their own stack; see Minecraft PS5 vs PS4 trophy differences. Xbox points and Java advancement equivalence are not established by this PS5 record.
