Kill an experience-dropping mob near a sculk catalyst. Status: Single source.

PS5 trophy details

  • Grade: Bronze. Set: Expansion Pack 16. 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. Locate or obtain a sculk catalyst and prepare safe footing nearby.
  2. Bring an ordinary hostile mob close to it and make the killing attack yourself.
  3. Watch for the catalyst response and sculk spread around the death location.

Before you repeat it

Use a mob that supplies experience, not a decorative armor stand. Sculk shriekers and the Warden make an uncontrolled deep-dark attempt dangerous.

Evidence and editions

The method or mechanic has a source, but a second independent current-method check is incomplete. A matching catalogue entry does not verify gameplay. PS4 players should use this method only for a matching 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.
