Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories: PS3 and PS4 Platinum Guide

PS3 / PS4

Decide on the console first: on PS4, Proud can cover lower difficulties; on PS3 it cannot. On both editions, keep a Riku clear save and finish the collection’s 358/2 Days content before filling Sora’s journal. Level 99 for both heroes is the last cleanup task.

The PS3 list belongs to HD 1.5 ReMIX, released in Europe in 2013, and the PS4 list to 2017’s HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX. Both have 48 trophies, but difficulty stacks only on PS4.

Trophies per list: 48, including platinum
Minimum clears: PS3: six. PS4: two on Proud.
Restrictions: Offline; needs completion data from the collection

Choose saves for your console

On PS4, start Sora on Proud and do the same for Reverse/Rebirth once unlocked. The lower trophies explicitly accept a higher difficulty. On PS3, finish Beginner, Standard and Proud with both characters: keep a separate file for each run and reserve cleanup for the most comfortable one.

For Undefeated, reload from the menu after defeat instead of selecting Continue.

Build your deck for the fight

Arrange a few reliable combinations in sequence and bring zero cards to break enemy attacks after activation. Sora can edit his deck; Riku uses the floor’s cards and takes advantage of duels. Save before bosses and do not flee during the run intended for No Escape.

When editing your deck, make sure sleights will not burn the cards you need for healing.

Unlock the extra chests before collecting

Finish the 358/2 Days content in the same collection and keep the Reverse/Rebirth clear file. Use Key to Rewards cards to visit Sora’s reward rooms and look for the additional chest. Work through the journal by category so you can distinguish room cards from enemy drops.

If the extra chest is absent, check completion data before spending more map cards.

Take both characters to level 99

For Sora, try large enemy groups in Destiny Islands or Castle Oblivion and prepare an area sleight to shorten fights. With Riku, use the final floors and win duels, which help another trophy too. Do not redo the story: keep the save with access to the right floors.

Check both level 99 milestones; one character does not cover the other.

Finish the two records separately

Check Jiminy’s Journal with Sora and the D Report with Riku. Return to the Hundred Acre Wood minigames in Sora’s story and finish missing sleights, then use Moogle Shops and rooms for remaining counters. For enemy cards, save before spending all maps that increase encounter density.

Do not confuse the card collection alone with completing every journal section.
