PS3
One run is enough if you start on Hard and treat persuasion opportunities as limited resources. Faction quests, the campaign and exploration move many trophies forward, but pay attention when you see a temporary choice, a ward or a much stronger enemy. Keep separate manual saves for encounters you cannot repeat.
Original 2012 PS3 edition. The PS3 expansions are optional for platinum.
- Platinum: 51 base trophies; 11 expansion trophies are not required.
- Difficulty: Complete the campaign on Hard.
- Online: The platinum is offline and does not require an online pass.
Start on Hard and seek a stronger enemy
Select Hard when you start the game and leave it on for the entire story. Early on, before leveling too high, look for an enemy at least four levels above you for Out of Your League. Make a manual save, dodge the heaviest hits and use Reckoning mode if needed. Once the trophy unlocks, return to questing at your own pace.
- Check that Hard is selected before moving beyond the tutorial.
Count successful persuasions
Invest in Persuasion early and speak with characters who start or advance quests. Save before important conversations and choose the marked persuasion options; if one fails, reload and improve your odds. Opportunities are limited. During Enemies in High Places, keep a save before confronting Octienne and confirm Turning the Tide unlocks before overwriting it.
- Update your count after every successful persuasion.
Dispel wards without wasting attempts
Save before interacting with a warded container. Open Sesame only counts successful dispels; taking the loot after a failure does not recover that point. If the minigame is giving you trouble, improve the relevant skill and return to unopened containers. Keep this count separate from picked locks.
- Reload after a failure before leaving the area.
Finish all five faction questlines
Follow House of Ballads, House of Sorrows, Scholia Arcana, Travelers and Warsworn through to their endings. On the way, take detours for lorestones and map locations. Use traps and specific attacks during battles as well. Leaving all situational kills until the end can mean lots of cleanup on weak enemies.
- Mark each faction when its trophy unlocks.
Finish crafting, Destinies and crimes
Keep materials for forging equipment, creating gems and brewing potions. Once the Hard clear is recorded, check the Destiny goals and use a Fateweaver to redistribute points if your build does not cover them. Set aside a save for crime trophies: arrest, bribes and escape are separate actions. Compare the base set separately from the two expansions.
- Plan a visit to a Fateweaver for the builds you still need.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the expansions?
No. The Legend of Dead Kel and Teeth of Naros contribute to 100% PSN completion but do not gate the platinum.
Does opening a chest after a mistake count for Open Sesame?
No. It requires a successful dispel. Reload before trying again or look for a different unopened ward.
Does this guide cover Re-Reckoning?
This roadmap is for the original PS3 set. Re-Reckoning has a separate list and is not part of this guide.
