Minecraft: Story Mode PS4 and PS3 platinum guide

PS3 / PS4

The Minecraft: Story Mode platinum requires the first five episodes plus four optional objectives. The end of Episode 1 determines which ally you meet in Episode 2, so plan to replay one stretch. Check the edition before starting: the original Season Pass disc relied on downloads, whereas The Complete Adventure contains every episode.

First season on PS4 and PS3, with 33 base trophies and 18 add-ons. The Complete Adventure disc contains all eight episodes on both consoles.

Base trophies: 33, including Chip Off the Old Block.
Episodes for platinum: Episodes 1–5. Adventure Pass (6–8) is for 100% only.
Complete edition: The Complete Adventure disc, PS4 and PS3.

Episode 1: try crafting the lever

In Petra’s cave in Chapter 2, reach the crafting table when she asks you to make a sword. Before following that recipe, put a stick in the center square and the stone directly below it. The attempt to make the lever is enough. Wait for Leveraging Resources, then use the table to make the sword and continue the story.

If the trophy is missing, replay Chapter 2 before finishing the sword.

Episodes 1 and 2: Magnus and Ellegaard

At the end of The Order of the Stone, choose which ally to seek. The green route leads to Magnus and Griefer Madness; the red one to Ellegaard and Occam’s Razor. Complete Assembly Required on the first branch. Then rewind to the final chapter of Episode 1 and choose the other ally. Play through Chapter 2 of Episode 2 until the opposite trophy unlocks. Keep your main story save intact.

Check for both Griefer Madness and Occam’s Razor.

Episode 3: exhaust Reuben’s dialogue

In Soren’s lab you disguise yourself as an Enderman and find instructions for the clay blocks. Before going outside, talk to Reuben by the door. Keep interacting after the first few lines until Jesse asks for a joke. If you have already left, use Rewind to start Chapter 4 and go back into the lab.

Check for That’s Some Pig before leaving the lab for good.

Episodes 4 and 5: finish the base list

After the lab, finish The Last Place You Look and open A Block and a Hard Place. The last two base episodes award their chapter trophies through story progress. Play beyond the last scene of Order Up! and check for To Boldly Go… If you do not have the platinum, look for the four optional objectives above before checking for a missing chapter.

After Episode 5, check for 32 non-platinum trophies in the base group.

Episodes 6–8: optional for platinum

A Portal to Mystery, Access Denied and A Journey’s End? are the three Adventure Pass episodes. Finish them after Order Up! for 100%; each adds six trophies. With The Complete Adventure disc, these episodes are part of the content on the disc. If you have only a digital installation from before delisting, check which episodes you can actually launch.

A missing DLC episode does not block the platinum.
