Cure a zombie villager using Weakness and a golden apple. Status: Single source.

PS5 trophy details

  • Grade: Gold. 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. Secure a zombie villager under a roof where it cannot burn or attack you.
  2. Apply Weakness with a splash potion, then use a normal golden apple on the affected zombie villager.
  3. Protect it while the cure finishes and it becomes a villager.

Before you repeat it

Use a normal golden apple, not an enchanted one. Do not kill the patient or confuse an ordinary zombie with a zombie villager.

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.
